Tatyana Leonova is the May 2013 Student of the Month at Eastern Center for Arts and Technology (EASTERN) in Willow Grove. She is in her second year of EASTERN’s Commercial Art program and a senior at Lower Moreland High School.

The Student of the Month Award is sponsored by EASTERN’s faculty, Joint Committee and the Willow Grove Rotary Club to highlight student excellence, success and service.

Ten students each year are selected for this honor.

At EASTERN, Tatyana is currently maintaining an ‘A’ average for the second year in a row in her Commercial Art program. She is actively involved in SkillsUSA, and is currently the School-Wide President for the afternoon session.

In February, Tatyana was part of the team that won the gold medal for Opening and Closing Ceremonies at the Western Center for Technical Studies in Limerick, PA. First-place winners represented EASTERN at the state-level competitions held April 3 – 5 in Hershey.

Last year, she was part of the team for Chapter Display that competed at the national level in Kansas City, MO. SkillsUSA is a national student organization promoting good citizenship, student leadership, professionalism, teamwork, and recognizes student achievement and excellence.

At EASTERN, Tatyana consistently volunteers her time as a student ambassador for EASTERN at events such as Career Expo and Open House. At Lower Moreland High School, Tatyana has participated on both the Swim and Soccer teams.

“Tatyana is a dedicated and talented student,” said Nicole Mohrey, EASTERN’s Commercial Art Instructor.

“She demonstrates leadership and professionalism in the classroom. She has a great future ahead of her regardless of the career choice she pursues. She has the positive attitude necessary to achieve great things.”

After completing the Commercial Art program at EASTERN and graduating from Lower Moreland High School, Tatyana plans to attend Bucks County Community College, and then to matriculate to Temple University for her Bachelor’s degree in International Business focusing on Accounting. Ultimately, she would like to work for a large corporation in the accounting field, but also run a photo business on the side.
