The team of teachers felt that each student was:
A student who selflessly helps others
A student who is kind & caring with their words, actions, social media posts, etc.
A student who is respectful of other people & their belongings
A student who is responsible for themselves & their belongings
A student who is honest & a good role model to their peers & younger students
Freshman: Noah Icenogle
Sophomores: Josh McDearmon
Juniors: Alayna Zinke
