Nolan Huck received Student of the Month in November for high school.

 

Student of the Month

decisions are difficult if not impossible. Many times, one teacher will endorse one particular student while another staff member says, no way! It really does depend on student actions and behavior in all classes.

In the end, two are chosen, and the award is given out at the monthly assembly. The winner receives a Student of the Month T-Shirt and certificate, and his/her picture is placed in the announcement case near the office.

At the end of the school year, a qualifying student is then chosen for Student of the Year, with the same process, though you can still be nominated even if you weren’t Student of the Month.

The Student of the Month has been a part of Geyserville for the last ten years now, and I feel as though most people don’t actually know how they are chosen. Each month, one high school and one middle school student is chosen by the faculty.

Nominations are based upon if they’re involved in school, their grades, their personality, and if they appear to be working academically in all their classes. You can even get nominated with bad grades, as long as you are trying, especially if you improve your grades exceptionally. Generally, the staff looks at all these factors, but even if you don’t have one of them, you could still get nominated. If you really want this, all I have to say is try, improve, get involved, and generally be a better person.

During a staff meeting, all the nominations are written on the dry erase board and a vote is taken, first for middle school then high school. After talking to Mrs. Hadden, I found out that many of the

Every student who attends Geyserville high school is allowed to drive their car to school as long as they fill out the proper paper work with Michelle. The form students have to fill out asks for the following; A California drivers license, a copy of the cars registration, proof of insurance and a parent or guardian must sign with you promising that you will not break any of the parking lot rules.

 

Students are not allowed to bring any form of drugs in their car. Students are also asked to obey the speed limit of 15mph. A rule mirroring one that is enforced in the school as well as the parking lot is that seniors have the privilege to park on the side closes to the school; the curb on the senior’s side is clearly marked in green paint to insure no confused underclassmen park where they aren’t wanted.

 

Once a student fills out the form, they will be issued a green parking pass and will be allowed to park at the school. Sal Silva, one of two juniors who drive themselves to school, says “Man, I don’t even care about the parking rules I just want to go to school and go home, it’s nice that the seniors share their parking lot with us, driving to school is a lot easier then catching the bus.”

 

Before you park at the school you should know that students share the parking lot with a number of faculty members who have their own spots. Theses spots are not marked but it is common knowledge that teachers have their own favorite spots, I highly recommend that you avoid making any of the teachers mad by taking their parking spot.
