Each month, teachers and staff at Grant Career Center have the opportunity to nominate a student to be recognized as the Student of the Month.

Teachers have nominated students for showing extra effort, academic success, changes in attitude and generally, just being a great person to have in their class. Our September Students of the Month include Courtney Riggs, a Felicity-Franklin junior from Engineering Design who shows great leadership skills and bravery as the only girl in the junior Engineering Design Program!

Pearce Williford, a Williamsburg senior enrolled in Automotive Service Technology was selected because he was the most improved Team Leader in the class and maintains a straight A average and perfect attendance while participating in home school athletics.

Cody Hess, a New Richmond junior in the Auto Collision program was nominated by instructor Ric Kruse because he works hard and does everything that is asked of him with a polite and respectful attitude. English Teacher Kathy Newman nominated Meagan Crawford, a Bethel-Tate senior in the Cooperative Education program because Meagan has a desire to learn and excels beyond teacher expectations. The students received a Certificate of Achievement for their passport and a delicious lunch in the Sports Gallery Restaurant.

The October Students of the Month were announced to recognize students for their outstanding efforts in the classroom or lab setting. We are very proud of the students and their exceptional efforts.

October Students of the Month are Jess Riley, a junior in the Biotechnology program at Bethel-Tate who was nominated for her research on biotechnology topics outside of the classroom. Garrett Freeman, a senior Auto Collision student from Williamsburg was recognized by Mrs. Pfeffer for his consistently great work in English as was Michael Rinehart, a Metal Fabrication junior from Bethel-Tate who was nominated by Mr. Jackson for excellent work and a great attitude in his English class.

Courtney Jervis, a junior Culinary Careers student from Bethel-Tate was nominated by instructor Gary Forsee because she comes to school every morning to help the cooks prepare breakfast for the students. “She certainly goes above and beyond all expectations we have for our students!”

The November Students of the Month were announced to recognize students for their outstanding efforts in the classroom, lab, or community setting. We are very proud of the students and their amazing accomplishments.

Three of the November Students of the Month were chosen because of their amazing efforts for the Food Drive! Carpentry instructor Chad Graybill nominated Jacob Zieger because he was the “Food Drive Hero” and prodded his class along to meet their goals and bring in their donations. “Jacob stayed on top of his responsibilities and reminded his classmates every day until the challenge was met.” Jacob is a Carpentry junior from Bethel-Tate.

The next two students recognized in November are Hope Roush and Alexus Tumbleson, junior Cosmetology students who combined to bring in 1,032 food items for the drive. The girls were true champions as they worked to secure donations and haul the bounty into school each day.

Our fourth student to be recognized was Cody Johnson, a New Richmond senior in the Carpentry program. Cody helped a young boy who was being attacked by a dog in his community with no thought of his own safety.
