High School
Tanner Riedel and Gretchen Bredberg (not pictured)
What Staff have to say about the students of the month:
- Lauren is always prepared for class and is very active in discussions. She is polite and helpful to those around her.
- Emma is always ready to talk about something. She has a quiet disposition but is always ready to add something to class. She is on time, polite, and prepared every day.
- Tanner is someone who has shown a lot of improvement in the classroom and hallways. I see him as more respectful and mature and works harder to stay on top of his assignments.
- Gretchen always gives 100% in everything she does. She sets high expectations for herself and is always achieving them.
