Sophia McMinn 10th grade - Persisting

This is what Cory Haley had to say about Sophia. "Sophie has been such an amazingly hard worker. She is so persistent through her academic challenges. I love the high, achievable, academic goals she sets for herself. She takes advantage of the resources our school offers all students, such as study tables, in order to make sure she understands topics well. She doesn't hesitate to work hard for her goals and understanding. Her persistence and questioning is contagious to her classmates too. No one is afraid to ask questions in her class and a large part of it is due to her boldness, and bravery, to always ask focused, clarifying questions that many students benefit from too. She is a great student to have in class and a wonderful person to help support and promote academically."

Oyindamola "Princess" Fakuade 11th grade - Persisting

This is what Gary Peters had to say about Oyindamola. "Oyin is a student who doesn't give up. She is the epitome of the type of student that high school teachers wish for. She is an independent thinker. She questions and analyzes material well. She took on the toughest form of debate this year as a novice and did her best while representing our school well. Oyindamola worked to promote the Riley Marathon event as well. She was a state finalist and is nationally bound with the business department. Daily she persists to come to school even on a crowded school bus, which sometimes passes her; she then has to get rides to school to be here to complete her studies. On paper, she holds a high grade point average, but beyond that she is no average student. Oyin is the student who would make you want to teach for years to come. Our Oyin, our 'princess', is one you should get to know better.
