MSHS Student of the Semester
Each semester, one student is selected to represent their grade level from MSHS.
Students are selected based on good citizenship and going above and beyond in the classroom. Students are nominated by teachers and staff. 1st Semester
Andrew Robinson -Freshman
Student’s ambition(s) or dream(s): I don’t know exactly what I want to do, but it will probably be something with computers. Additional Comments: (Joking) Just don’t be bad. (More Serious) Be the best you can possible be. Parents’ comment(s) or quote: Andrew is a great kid. He makes it easy to be a parent. He is kind and genuinely cares about others. On a lighter note he has a sarcastic sense of humor which makes him fun to be around. Teacher comments: From day one in August, Andrew has struck the perfect balance between his considerable giftedness and being a down-to-earth, approachable classmate. In fact, Andrew is also highly valued by his classmates because he’s genuinely eager to help others, excited to see them make the same discoveries he’s made, and they can sense that. To me, that speaks volumes. 
Abby Loven - Sophomore
Student’s ambition(s) or dream(s): My dream is to find a career where I can both work with animals as well as have a role in the business world. Additional Comments: I’ve really enjoyed the opportunities that I’ve been given at MSHS. Parents’ comment(s) or quote: Abby is self-motivated and always willing to work hard to accomplish her goals. She’s able to keep a healthy balance between school work and the extracurricular that she loves. We are so proud of the bright, caring, young woman she has become. Teacher comments: It didn’t take long for Abby to acclimate to the honors pathway. And that’s because of what she brings into our class each morning: heartwarming perseverance, attention to detail, and an energy and smile which are contagious. All great stuff, but the #1 reason I nominated Abby is her curiosity; she loves to discover and make sense of things, and her curiosity compels Abby to selflessly ask questions which helps her classmates every day. 
Shaelin Ruzich - Junior
Student’s ambition(s) or dream(s): I want to go to a university that will challenge me academically. Also, I hope to run and pole-vault as a collegiate athlete. Additional Comments: I am so honored and appreciative to have been nominated this award and I want to say thank you. Albert Einstein once said, “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” I chose to put this in here because this quote has so much truth to it and I hope it motivates other students like it does for me. Parents’ comment(s) or quote: We are extremely proud of Shaelin and the effort she puts into school, the community, and extracurricular activities. We are thankful for the teachers’ support and school recognition. Teacher comments: In 22 years of teaching, I can’t remember a student who has grown more in one semester than Shaelin Ruzich. Moving to a new school midway through your high school career is difficult enough, but jumping into the honors math pathway makes it even more daunting. She is so tough-minded, courageous and inspiring to all of us. 
Jillian Jordan - Senior
Student’s ambition(s) or dream(s): I am going to Butler University in the fall for Pharmacy / Health Sciences. Additional Comment: I would like to thank my teachers for this nomination. It’s quite an honor. Parents’ comment(s) or quote: I’m so proud of Jillian! She works hard in school and in all of her extra-curricular activities. It has been so fun to watch her grow over the years. Teacher comments: Jillian is one of the strongest leaders in our choral department. Her mature approach to the rehearsal process is greatly appreciated. She’s talented and dependable in Madrigals, and I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to teach students like her! |
