Her presence always brightens up our classroom. (Grace Mares)
Kareena Ferguson, 12th Grade – Kareena is a teacher’s dream student to have in class – she is always on task, working, and doing! She is a thoughtful, and thinking, person. She doesn’t complain, she just gets down to business and gets done with what needs doing. She works well with others, whether of her choosing, or not. She asks for help respectfully when needed and always takes responsibility for her work and learning. She is a soft-spoken and mature presence in the classroom. (Grace Mares)

Caleb Mayes, 9th Grade – Caleb purchased a ticket for the homecoming football game to pay it forward. He allowed the adults to pick the student. Caleb wasn’t able to attend the game, but he wanted someone else to. This was the sweetest thing! (Stock Image)
