Student Spotlight

Staff member Anne Piasecki chose Makayla Devlin as her student spotlight because she is a great example for other students.  Makayla has a great work ethic, loves to discuss current issues, is respectful of other people’s ideas, and can listen without judgement.  Anne sat down with Makayla to ask her a few questions so people can get to know her.

 

1. What’s the best part of SWAHS?

       1. I like that I get to do work on my own time and maneuver                    around my own schedule.  I can also get help whenever I                        need it. 

 

2. What do you like to do outside of school?

        2. I like to read, do outdoor activities like biking, hiking, and                      playing with my dog.  I also love learning new things,                                particularly about animals. 

 

3. What are your plans after high school?

        3. I want to help the public.  I would like to take what I have                         learned and help people get a leg up in life.  I would also like                 to learn from other people’s experiences. 

 

4. What is one piece of advice that you would give someone?

         4. Never be impulsive when you have a decision to make.                           Take a day or two and really think about the decision. 

 

 

Thanks for being an awesome student!  We are excited to see the impact you will continue to make at SWAHS!

Staff member Lane Swansson chose to spotlight Mesha Khang because of her positive attitude, her excellent personal skills, and her efforts to serve others. This school year, Mesha brought in donuts for the SWAHS staff. She also brought in food for students who were hungry throughout the day. Because of Mesha’s “no student hungry” pledge, students have access to cereal, ramen noodles, and macaroni and cheese at lunch time.

 

Lane had Mesha in advisory, physical education, video production, and his engineering & media course. In those classes, Mesha showed an excellent work ethic and was always a pleasure to work with. Lane sat down with Mesha to ask her a few questions.

 

1. What do you like about SWAHS?

2. What are your hobbies or interests outside of school?

      2. I like to paint and hike. I also like to make candles.

3. Tell us something interesting about yourself.

       3. I am one of six siblings in my family. 

4. What are your plans after high school?

      4. I plan on joining the workforce and potentially looking into culinary school.
