April's Senior of the Month

Lizzie Schmitt

Few students have schedules that are as stressful and time consuming as the one that this senior has. Whether she is completing extra pages in her yearbook class, working through complex problems in her two math classes, or doing plies while flashing jazz hands as part of her dance team, this student perseveres when presented with challenges. 

Her teachers describe her as reliable, motivated and academically curious. They also note that she helps others on a regular basis. Her classmates describe her as friendly, upbeat, funny (in a good way), and generous. She has, as one person pointed out, “a smile for everyone.”

As a result of her never-give-up attitude, her willingness to assist others, and her dedication to making WHS a welcoming place, Lizzie Schmitt is the senior Student of the Month for April.

April's Junior of the Month

Ava Prickett

The April student of the month for the juniors has made remarkable academic progress this year. 

Throughout the 2023-2024 school year, she has maintained high achievement levels, taking on leadership roles such as volunteering as a tour guide for 8th-grade Vassalboro students and serving as a math mentor in Ms. Turner's class, positively influencing her peers. With conscientiousness and dedication, she excels in her studies and leads group discussions effectively in Bio/Earth and creative writing classes. Her excellent performance in U.S. History is commended by her teacher. Additionally, she serves as a role model in the learning center, assisting struggling students while maintaining a positive attitude. Her commitment to academic excellence and leadership is commendable, shining in her college preparatory English studies and serving as a valuable resource for her classmates.

It is with great pleasure that the student of the month for April is awarded to Ava Prickett.  

April's Sophomore of the Month

Katelyn Gibbs

Katelyn Gibbs often flies under the radar. Many of you probably don't even know who she is. Katelyn excels in indoor track, cross-country, and pitches a mean fastball. She also has been accepted into the KV Chorus multiple times and this year will participate in the All-State Chorus. She manages this while maintaining excellent grades. Katelyn is quietly fierce. She is purposeful, resilient and goal-oriented, all while being courteous and respectful. All of these things make Katelyn Gibbs an excellent choice for April Student of the Month.
