The first student was MAtt Cruse from Jacobsen Middle School. Matt is very interested in drama and has future plans of attending college and majoring in Fine Arts. Aside from being active at school, Matt finds time to be a part of his Youth group at the Stallion Springs Church.
Teachers comments and praise were numerous, stating that he is always kind and considerate, has a great sense of humor, and is always ready to help others. His drama efforts this year included the Pirates Play and the Oz Play.
As one staff member commented, “I wish I had a dozen of him!”
His proud parents, Helen and Cordon, looked on as Matt was presented with his certificate of achievement.
The staff at Monroe High School chose Willis Huddleston as their Student of the Month. As an additional highlight of the evening, Willis told the group he had just graduated from Monroe that afternoon. His plans include going on to college to become a therapist or counselor, helping youths through hard times. The staff chose WIllis because of his enthusiasm and improved attitude. they stated he was a dedicated and self-motivated young man. Matt wanted to thank the staff at monroe for choosing him. Parents, Larry and Karin, and brothers Kyle and Nick, joined Matt for the evening.
Bonnie Strauss represented Tehachapi High School as the staff’s choice for Student of the Month. Upon seeing the activities this young lady is involved in, it was easy to see why they made this decision.

The teachers commented she is always ready to give ehlping hand and is a very well-rounded young lady. Her future plans include attending Porterville Junior College.
