Tell us why they deserve to be nominated!
Ivan has persevered over many obstacles throughout his high school career. He has turned his grades from C’s and D’s to A’s and B’s. He has won student of the month more than once and his teachers send me emails regularly telling me how respectful and kind he is. I’m so proud of the 180 that he has made academically but more importantly, the amazing human he is.
