They must possess leadership ability, productivity, courage and dignity. The students chosen for this honor were elected not by their peers, but by faculty and administrators. Janna Capps said, “I was really honored to hear that I had been chosen as a citizen. I’m glad that I could have made that much of an impression here.” The other students had many positive things to say about the school. Allen Wachtel commented, “In my time here. I’ve learned how to get my priorities straight and take things one step at a time.” Melissa Copeland’s ma- jor achievement in her four years here was summed up in one word: Friendships. “I have built meaningful relationships with both students and teachers here,’ said Kysa Anderson, whose favorite teacher was Ms. Clydette Messiah. Randy Barrios and Creg Istre both had the same ad- vice for the four years that entering freshmen would spend here. They said, “Expect the unexpected!” Allen Russell stated simply, “Mostly, I’ve gain- ed my fair share of Ranger Pride.” Allison Smith summed up the sentiments of each of these students, however, when he commented, Achievements are pretty hard to measure, but I be- lieve my greatest one will come when I graduate!” 26 sterling citizens
