We are excited to recognize these outstanding students for their dedication, hard work, and positive impact on our school community. Each of them was nominated and voted as a Student of the Month for demonstrating excellence both in and out of the classroom. Their commitment to learning, leadership, and character has set them apart, and we are incredibly proud of their achievements. Please join us in celebrating Raythel Clark, Zoey D., Zion Mackall, Layan A., Ben Chisler, and Julia Lima for this well-deserved recognition. Keep up the great work, Bobcats!
