Impressive Students

Over the last few weeks we have had many impressive students be showcased for the positive contributions they make to WKHS and the community.

NyKelah Rowe was recognized by the VFW Post 2398 for winning first place for their post in the Voice of Democracy competition.

Sam English celebrated his goal of receiving an invitation to play football at Robert Morris University during Wednesday's Letter of Intent Signing Day ceremony.  This moment was a recognition of the dedication Sam has displayed when pushing himself to work hard on and off the football field.  Congratulations Sam and best wishes at RMU!

The Talent Show was another fund-raiser for the winter charity that was held this week.  I am so impressed by the incredible students who perform as I truly cannot imagine the courage that it requires to walk out on the stage.  And I also love seeing the students in the audience demonstrating their support for all of the performers.  The respect and encouragement for your peers is what makes WKHS such a special place.  I had quite a few of "my" students participate including: Austin Aldous, Chidima Anaraodo, Blair Andrews, Jacob Antolik, Matteo Chavez, Sam Cottrill, Averie Eckstein, and Nevaeh Spencer.

And last, but certainly not least, Friday morning was the ceremony to recognize the February Students of the Month.  Students are nominated by staff members in honor of the impact they are making in the classroom and beyond.  This recognition can only be given once in a student's entire high school career.  I am so proud and thankful for "my" students who were among those honored as students of the month including (left to right): Faith Falgiano and Emily Cline and, not pictured, Amyia Clark.

Thank you all for the positive impact you are creating at Kilbourne and beyond!
