Each month during the school year the club recognizes outstanding high school students in the city of Everett for their accomplishments and their promise.
Cascade High Student of the Month is ViVi McCoy, a 3-year member of Interact Club and treasurer for two years. She started in leadership as a freshman and has committed the last three years to our Advanced Leadership class, contributing to our Bruin community. She has been a core member of Cascade’s Black Student Union throughout high school. ViVi is also a 3-year member of our Varsity Cheer Team, serving as co-captain this year. When she commits, she does so with the absolute understanding of her commitment to any team or activity. ViVi is the ultimate team player.
Student of the Month from Sequoia High is Alejandra Hernandez, who knows how to set and work toward goals and follows through on her commitments. Alejandra is proud to say she will be the first in her family to attend college. Along with attending Sequoia, she spends two evenings a week at dental school. She plans to be a dental hygienist or lab technician with an endorsement in English/Spanish translation and plans to apply for Running Start to earn college credits that will help her move into full time college. Alejandra brings with her a confident, calm and determined attitude each day.
Everett High Student of the Month is Melissa Rosales-Alfaro. A teacher describes her as “one of the most impressive young women I’ve ever worked with.” With a 3.7 GPA, Melissa has challenged herself with AP classes. She has served as an ASB Officer and continued as a leader of the Latinos Unidos club. She has overseen Everett High’s popular Homecoming Tailgate, where all of the school’s clubs come together. Under her direction, the “Humans of EHS” Instagram account became a place for students to truly connect based on their shared humanity and emotional experiences.
