Congratulations to the RCHS Student of the Month for April, Drew Shirley! Drew, a Junior, has a cumulative GPA of 4.0. She is a member of Culture Club, SADD, FCA, FCCLA, NHS, Pep Club, Student Council, and Key Club. She is also a member of the cross country, basketball, and dance teams. Drew also serves as the announcer at all home softball games. Here is what Ms. Pickering had to say about Drew: “Drew is by far the best student I have ever had. She is always respectful to staff and her peers. She is consistent with her grades and school work. I have seen her help out with Prom, going above and beyond with it. She is always asking how she can help me out, and is always willing to help her classmates.”
Mrs. Taylor also added: “Drew is the epitome of a student of the month selection. She is committed and works to perform the best she is able at everything she does whether it be academics, athletics, or activities. Drew’s personal character and maturity are second-to-none. She is a true pleasure to have in class and see in the halls.”
Congratulations Drew!
