We are amazed by her selfless creative dedication to the club, her responsible and mature attitude and her exemplary organization. would not have been possible without you.

I am sure she will have a very successful high school experience in Art. Congratulations!” Mackenzie Souchek Ms. Hammell

Beyond being an extraordinarily talented artist, this student regularly went above and beyond what was required. She showed constant attentiveness to those around her who required help, stayed after school to ensure her work was completed to perfection, and assisted in a variety of projects beyond the classroom: painting faces at the Halloween dance, painting a mural for Lead & Seed, and countless hours designing sets for Drama. She exceeds expectations, and impresses me every day. It started as a joke- but really, you are a "favorite" for me! Congratulations!” Kaitlyn Dorosz Ms. Norcia

This student is truly ahead of his time.” Dustyn Wood Miss Buell

I can't wait to see all she accomplishes in her future.” Sydney Burton Mrs. Reilly

This young lady showed that she definitely has what it takes to observe even the smallest details, analyze the evidence and solve the crime! I know her determination and skill will result in success in whatever path she chooses. Always remember the Locard Prinicple - Every contact leaves a trace. Your amazing forensic science skills leave some big shoes to fill and will always be remembered. Congratulations and Carpe Diem! “ Ihlan Onaga Mrs. Dunne

The Christie Pearce-Rampone
Sportsmanship Award This year’s female recipient is without a doubt an incredibly well rounded young lady, who exceeds the expectations of sportsmanship. She motivates her teammates, respects officials & opponents, and is mature and responsible as an athlete and a student. She plays hard, giving 100% in every practice and game. She’s been consistently working, even in the offseason, to improve herself - dedicating time and commitment to the game. Beyond enhancing her own skills, she willingly steps up to work with younger teammates to help them improve. She is a kind and caring team player, always making sure everyone is included and comfortable. I knew I could count on her to come through for me when a job needed to get done, whether it was behind the scenes or to execute a play - she’s incredibly reliable and trustworthy. She plays with integrity and is a model athlete in her attitude and behavior on and off the court. No matter what the outcome of a game may be, she holds her head high and is respectful both in victory and defeat. I am lucky to have had the privilege of coaching her. She has been a dedicated member of the basketball team for 3 years, while maintaining exemplary grades, and incredible classroom conduct. She’s certainly a most worthy recipient of this distinguished award. Congratulations! Alexis McKelvey

The Christie Pearce-Rampone
Sportsmanship Award When I first met this year's recipient in sixth grade he was a very raw wrestler/athlete...he certainly wasn't the best athlete on the mat or the track....but there was something about him, a fire to be the best. By the time seventh grade rolled around he had worked himself into a solid wrestler and athlete. His work ethic and the way he goes about his business on a daily basis is way beyond his years. This work ethic also translates not only into his athletics, but into his schoolwork, family and social life. His father refers to him as his "right hand man" and I can see why. Finally, in his eighth grade year a truly special athlete had emerged. An athlete with impeccable manners a smile that is contagious and a true sportsman. This athlete was named team captain of both track and wrestling and was like having an assistant coach. He would mentor and help any teammate that needed it as his time was their time. It isn't that often that you meet an athlete that puts in all the hard work, is coachable, and deserves all of the success that comes his way....but he deserves all of the accolades he receives. It has been my privilege to coach him and the program will miss him when he is gone. Ean Mueller
