Tell us why they deserve to be nominated!

Zoey's major at DePaul University will be media Tv/Film and while in Evergreen Park High she started the first credit class for social media/film, although she didn’t get a credit for this the future class will be in honor of her. I am so proud. She graduated with honors and several scholarships

What's one thing you want everyone to know about your graduating student nominee?

Zoey didn’t have it easy as her grandfather Scott Anderson passed away suddenly in 2021 a lifetime resident of Evergreen Park, Zoey had to move and start over, and she learned life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, but learned how to dance in the rain and that she did

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Zoey!
