Congratulations on a great start to the 2023-2024 school year!

Ashlynn Weber – Jr. – Mr. Crawford 

Ashlynn defines what this award is all about. This semester she is taking the beginning piano 1 class. She has been taking private piano lessons for many years and is more advanced than I am in some aspects so instead of “going through the motions”, she serves as a teaching assistant and works with students who are struggling to help them understand the concept and skills being asked of them. She maintains a great attitude and is a wonderful assistant to me in this class.

Cruz Rodriguez – Fr. – Mr. Amy

Cruz is a very cooperative, pleasant young man who exemplifies the qualities that we all look for in a student.  Cruz has been setting the standard in his PE class by giving his all no matter the activity.

I see Arianne in a variety of roles in the classroom and out of the classroom. In the classroom she is a student leader in both my American History class and World History class. She doesn’t shy away from asking the hard questions on history and is a positive role model to the students around her. Outside the classroom she works extremely hard for the PHS Scholastic Bowl Team. It seems every moment she isn’t working on something for my classes, she is studying questions to make herself better in the program. Her hard work shines bright and that is why I think she is worthy of being student of the month.

Chase Sims – Jr – Mrs. Stites

Chase has shown a desire to grow, work hard and asks questions constantly in order to produce the best work he can, and I’m proud of him for that!

At the beginning of the semester Cruz would barely talk to me or his fellow students. He has grown in both his social and academic abilities throughout the semester. He not only will ask questions when he doesn’t understand something for himself, he will help other students or encourage them to ask questions. While this is not a big deal for a typical student this is a HUGE victory for Cruz. I am very proud of him.

If she doesn’t understand something, she asks very meaningful questions to help her understand. Abigail is extremely helpful to the other members in her cage and also very encouraging at the same time.
