Spring is just around the corner and we know the rest of the year will fly by!

Recently, our Senior National Honor's Society students tapped Junior students who are eligible to apply to this prestigious organization. Students are tapped based on scholarship, leadership, service and character. Students must maintain an overall academic GPA of 90% or higher, demonstrate character with integrity, honesty and responsibility, take initiative in the school community, and participate in service opportunities. Junior students were given a gold ribbon to wear. Applications are due to Mr. Harris by March 4th. Congratulations to all students who were tapped!

In addition to the snow melting and warmer weather, we are looking forward to many upcoming events, including the opportunity to host the All-County Musical Festival, High School Musical performances, and the start of the spring sports season. Impact Day has been set for May 21st. Senior students are also making plans for their prom on June 11th.

Academically, our students are putting the work into their courses to be prepared and excel on AP exams in May and Regents exams in June. Dates are linked to help you and your student begin to plan during the busy spring season.

Congratulations to January Student of the Month winner, Gunner Pitcher. Gunner is a junior student who was nominated by Mrs. Duhow.

Mrs. Duhow reports that Gunner has made a remarkable turnaround both academically and personally. Over recent months, Gunner has demonstrated increased focus, responsibility, and perseverance in his schoolwork. His academic progress reflects genuine effort and a willingness to learn from past challenges, and his growth has not gone unnoticed.  Beyond academics, Gunner has shown strong character and empathy. When he noticed that I was struggling to fix an item in my classroom after several unsuccessful attempts, he took it upon himself to bring in model glue from home to help solve the problem. This thoughtful and proactive act demonstrated kindness, problem-solving skills, and a desire to help others without being asked. Gunner’s continued academic improvement and his thoughtful actions toward others demonstrate meaningful personal growth. He is taking ownership of his choices and setting a positive example for his peers, which makes him deserving of this recognition.

If you see Gunner, be sure to congratulate him!

Medina IMPACT club will be continuing to recognize one Medina Junior-Senior High School Staff member each month with the Mustang Mentor Award. Students are encouraged to nominate a staff member for this honor in their grade level Google Classrooms.

Congratulations to English teacher, Mr. Giacomini, our January nominee.
