Spring 2017 Cats with Class  

Forty students at Westerville South High School were recognized as “Cats with Class” at a breakfast and ceremony held bright and early on Wednesday morning, March 8.  “Cats with Class” honors pupils who have demonstrated acts of kindness, good school citizenship, or service, which help make South a wonderful place for learning and teaching.  It is jointly sponsored by Westerville South High School and the Westerville South Academic Boosters.  The students were joined by their family members, along with teachers and staff who nominated them for this prestigious honor.

Chairperson Lori Jung welcomed the attendees, who were praised by Principal Michael Starner.  Keynote speaker was Monica Davis (Class of 2009), who was introduced by Vocal Music Director Linda Nolan as an administrative assistant with an “infectious smile,” and a passion for music and outreach programs.  Davis shared her thoughts about what it means to be a Cat with Class, reflecting on what each letter might represent – C (courageous), A (ambitious), T (tactful), S (special) and C (compassion), L (leadership), A (aptitude), S (strength) and S (stature). 

Closing remarks were made by student Madison Richard.  Faculty coordinator Mary Fuchs and secretary Beverly Davis were thanked for their efforts in assisting with the program.
