Students of the Month

Congratulations to the Students of the Month! The students were selected by a committee based on recommendations by the administration, faculty and staff.

January, 2023

Our freshman selection is Lily MacGowan -- Lily is leaving no stone unturned as she embraces the opportunities at Badin High School. She plays soccer, basketball and is a member of the Spirit Club. Her gifts have certainly been recognized. “Intelligent, respectful, bubbly and upbeat,” said one faculty member. “She’s a good teammate and is always smiling,” said another. And this: “Lily gives 110 percent all the time. She leads by example. She’s a fantastic addition to Badin High School.” All that already and opportunity for so much more. Our freshman Student of the Month, Lily MacGowan

Our sophomore selection is Abbie Kessler. -- Abbie is “all in” as a sophomore in the Badin Class of 2025. She’s a member of Claybusters and hasn’t let knee surgery slow her down. She was on the girls retreat in January and her positive attitude and good humor made an impact – she was a committed retreatant and not just going through the motions. Said one faculty member, “Abbie is a hard-working and conscientious student with an excellent attitude. She always participates and makes a difference in class.” Making a difference -- that’s our sophomore Student of the Month, Abbie Kessler.

Our junior selection is Ty Long –- Ty is a quality guy who makes his presence felt at Badin High … on the soccer field, in the stands at sporting events, in the classroom as a strong student. He helped jump-start diversity value discussions among students this year. Quote: “Ty is a dedicated student and a good friend to everyone. He’s an athlete who works hard and is also committed to his studies.” Unquote. And, this wraps it up nicely: “Ty is just an all-around good dude.” We need good dudes at Badin High School. He’s the Tyrannosaurus -- our junior Student of the Month, Ty Long.

Our senior selection is Luke Jensen -- Luke’s a multiple nominee whose love and knowledge of technology have been a tremendous addition to the Badin environment the last couple of years. He’s handled the tech work on live streaming of boys and girls soccer, basketball, as well as in Badin Rocks as our Masses and music sound great. He’s always looking to improve his skill set. He’s also an excellent bowler … a winner in the senior class. As one faculty member put it, “Luke is willing to help with anything that needs to be done. He succeeds and sets a standard in the classroom.” Setting a standard … our senior Student of the Month, Luke Jensen
