Owen Ziegler
“It is not unusual to see Owen interacting with teachers one moment and then players on his team the next moment. Later in the day just talking to underclassmen. He comes in with a positive attitude and willingness to support students and staff across the district. His empathy and how he treats people is a quality that comes up over and over when speaking about Owen.”
Owen, thank you for representing the very best about our District.

Georgi Rogers
Not only is she growing her academic skills, but she is making really solid connections with her classmates (she loves to joke around and be silly, especially if she knows you well) and growing in her independence and problem-solving. Georgi works hard, listens to her teachers, and focuses on what she needs to accomplish. Mrs. Maurer, Georgi’s 4th-grade teacher, told us, “Georgi’s personality is so fun and bubbly.”

Raylan Olday-Westbury
Raylan was selected because of his ability to make friends with everyone. She said, “You might imagine some kids are a bit nervous during the first few weeks of school. Raylan seems to know who could use some help and he makes sure that he includes them in lunch, getting to busses, etc. He is an absolute joy!”

Kysa Ibinger
Kysa’s all-around-positive disposition was just the just the beginning in a long list of reasons for
her selection as a student of the month. Those in attendance at Monday night’s meeting heard from a number of Kysa’s teachers who wrote about Kysa’s fortitude, penchant for assisting others, and contributions to the success of the High School’s program. The evening was made even more special by sharing it with Kysa’s family.

Ella Fager
It looks like the Avengers might need to make room for another superhero. Meet Ms. Ella Fager, 7th grader. She was recognized last night by our Board of Education during their monthly Student Spotlight. Ella’s dedicated teachers told us she not only performs extremely well academically, but she is a positive role model to her peers, is often someone other students go to for help, has a positive attitude and strong work ethic. As if that were not enough, Ella is highly involved in athletics as well. She is a member of our middle school basketball team as well as the Mt. Horeb Club Basketball team that placed 7th in the state this past season! Since the completion of the basketball season, “SuperElla” has moved her athletic focus to soccer.

Tessa Soppe
Tessa is not only a capable student but is also kind and thoughtful towards her classmates. Academically, Tessa is a hard worker and gives her best. She is also a leader in her classroom community. Throughout the year, she was a buddy to two new students who joined the class. She welcomed them, made sure they had a partner to work with, and was a kind friend to them at recess.” Thank you, Tessa, for embodying the 3 Rs (respectful, responsible, and ready).

Alivia Long
Alivia was selected for the positive energy she exudes with her classmates and teachers. She said, “One time, I witnessed Alivia help a student follow the group plan in a classroom. She saw that her peer was struggling and, without even being asked, went to the student and offered for them to join her. The student immediately responded positively to her invitation and was able to successfully participate in the activity.”

Jessica Fox
Jessica "JJ" has a positive presence in her relationships and her numerous activities within the school. She demonstrates an unusual poise and maturity in her interactions with her peers and with staff. She genuinely cares about other people and making MHHS a better place to be. Jessica is an active part of our school’s service club, “Rotary Interact”, and she is involved in our Student Wellness committee, Student Council, music, and volleyball.

Payton Almquist
The Almquist name is, no doubt, well known and synonymous with excellence – Sheri and Jim are terrific supporters of our District’s students and staff. Payton is continuing that tradition of excellence. As an 8th grader, Payton has been a part of 4H, Volleyball, Basketball, and Yearbook. In fact, Principal Christiansen reminded everyone that Payton was one of three students who created the Thanksgiving food drive and created this wonderful video.

Logan Ford
“If someone is sitting alone at lunch, Logan sits by them or asks them to join his group. If someone doesn’t have a friend to play with at recess, Logan invites them to play his game with him. Beyond that, Logan is respectful to his teachers and even keeps an organized desk. At the IC, we have the tradition of reading the book Only One You which talks about importance of using your gifts and talents to make the world a better place, and Logan puts this into action every day at the IC.”

Emma Erickson
“Emma is such a nurturing, kind and helpful young lady. She has readily stepped up to help others who need support. Emma often, just naturally, jumps in to the ‘helper roll’ and has really built some strong, trusting relationships with her peers.”
- Rachael Johnson, ELC/PC Principal
