I received the ACSA award in 8th grade.  My family and I attended a luncheon. At the luncheon I recall having seen Mr. Troughton.  I thought to myself, I want to be his pick my senior year.  Now as a senior it's my utmost honor to be Corning High’s ACSA student of the year.  I'm beyond grateful for the recognition.  After high school I'll attend Butte College, then transfer to Chico State University to study Spanish. Following college graduation, I plan to obtain my Doctoral Degree and become a Spanish professor.  I want to thank my family and friends for all their support.

He has a quirky sense of humor with a lot of wit and intelligence to keep you on your toes. I wish Tommy much luck and success in his future endeavors.
Much love,

My name is Madeline Hillaire.  I am in seventh grade at Lincoln Street School.   Lincoln Street School provides many opportunities for learning but allows me to still be homeschooled.  My teacher, Dana Brent, has been very helpful and supportive for the past 8 years.  Math and science are my two favorite subjects because I like to solve problems.  I plan on going to college to get my degree in math or science. My interests include reading mysteries, playing games, tap dancing, playing piano and softball.  I have camped my way through 47 states and enjoy seeing and learning new things.

Hi, My name is Gracelyn Hayes, Throughout the years I have attended LAVA, I’ve had the privilege to experience many amazing teachers, who have shaped me into the student I am today. I’ve had many amazing memories here, basketball, spirit days, and field trips. In the near future, I plan on attending Grand Canyon University, studying Theology and Journalism. But, for now, I’m enjoying my last months at LAVA, before heading to Corning High. Two main goals of mine through any level of education are to maintain my 4.0 GPA and take advanced classes. Outside of school, I enjoy playing soccer and basketball, barrel racing, running for rodeo titles, and spending time with family. I’m beyond blessed to have such an amazing support system, my peers, family, and teachers. Thank you to the staff at LAVA who not only nominated me for this award but has helped me achieve goals I once had as a 6th-grade student.

Hi. My name is Harley Slye. I am 11 years old and in the 6th grade. I live with my mom, dad, and sister. I also have two dogs, one cat, and one snake. I have tried to teach my dogs to speak English but was unsuccessful. At school I enjoy P.E., history, science, and competition with tests. When I grow up I would like to be an Archaeologist because I would like to discover ancient artifacts. I would like to go to Harvard because it is a prestigious college that will challenge me. I would like to thank ACSA for this amazing opportunity that I am extremely proud to be picked for.

Hello. My name is Anais. I am 11 years old and go to Jackson Heights Elementary school. I like school because of the art and reading we do. I read Warrior Cats books because I like cats. In fact, I have 4 cats. I am very good at art. For example, I taught my class how to do art activities like stained glass, origami, and bracelets. I also enjoy traveling. This year I’m going to Oregon and hope to visit the coast. The ocean always inspires me to draw. Along with art and reading, I love to cook.  When I grow up I hope to attend a culinary college so I can become a chef.  As you can see, I love doing art, reading, going on vacation and cooking.  It is an honor to be selected as one of the All-Star students.

My name is Gabriela Escobar Van Why and I have been chosen to be Woodson Elementary School’s ACSA Student of The Year. I’m in 8th grade and have been at this school since 4th grade. I have straight A’s in all my classes and have come a long way since my first year here.

Last year was a rough year for me. I just didn't do well. But this year I was determined to turn myself around and do better, and that's exactly what I did. My favorite subject in school is Science. It’s my favorite subject because my Science teacher makes it fun and interesting. In the future I plan to go to college and graduate. What I want to do when I'm older is maybe be a videographer or photographer. I was born in Guatemala and traveled a lot when I was younger. I am also bilingual. I am really fortunate that I had the privilege of being taught Spanish as a child.

Through all of this the one person that was always there for me was my mom. She was there for me at my worst and helped me to get to my best. If I needed help on my homework she would stay up late if she had to. She would come to ceremonies where I was getting an award. Even when she had her own class that she had to be with, she would always make time for me. I would like to thank everyone who helped me get where I am today. I would not be where I am today without the support I've had.

I would like to start by thanking the ACSA for the honor of this award. At RBHS, I am very involved in school athletics and activities. My GPA is 4.40 and I am 1st in my class of 316. Leadership accomplishments include starting a National Honor Society chapter, being a member of the School Site Council, serving as Junior and Senior Class Treasurer, and participating in the NASA Astrobiology Internship for two years. As a member of the Varsity baseball and cross country teams, I received multiple CIF Northern Section Individual Scholastic Achievement Awards, and have also received the Kiwanis Student of the Month, Rotary Student of the Quarter and Spartan Choice awards.

Although I’m not certain yet what college I will attend, I plan to major in Mechanical or Civil Engineering at a service academy or four-year university and also may play baseball in college.

Hello, I am Chase Sumpter and I am proud to be a graduate of TeLa eLearning Academy. I started going to TeLA after I had a hard time in traditional school. Being able to complete my school work at my own pace in online classes was a life saver. I got A's and B's in most of my classes and was encouraged to complete Shasta College classes while at TeLa. This helped me recognize my full potential and I was able to complete (4) college classes by the time I graduated from TeLa. With the knowledge I have gained, I wish to go on to greater things. I have always had a passion for history and my long term goal is to get my PhD in history and become a history professor. My hobbies are fencing and snowboarding.

My name is Marcelino Posadas and I’m going to give you insights on my high school experience.  I started at Corning High School.  I finished at Centennial High School.  My time at Centennial was good for the most part.  There were times I wanted to give up and stop.  There were times I felt like I could do anything.  I had the freedom there to know that my education was all on me.  My senior year changed because of COVID.  I just had to adapt.  I started to put my head down and focus on my work.  Having the responsibility of work helped me be responsible at school as well.  My overall high school experience taught me that it's dedication to myself and work that will help me succeed.

I’m Jaden Bommer, an 8th grader at Berrendos Middle School. It’s an honor to have been considered, let alone chosen for this award.

I’ve always participated academically and athletically. At Red Bluff High, I plan to take advanced placement classes and participate in football, basketball, and track. What I learn and the grades I earn will enable me to attend a university. There isn’t a particular college that I’ve decided upon, but I do plan on going to a university. The Marines will be another option that I may consider. Nonetheless, I’d like to thank my parents for encouraging me to do well in school and for attending and encouraging me to participate in sports. In addition, I’d like to thank my teachers for selecting, pushing, and challenging me to always do better.

Once again, it’s an honor to have been considered, let alone chosen as the student of the year.

Tenacious, determined, and focused. Aralynn embodies all of these words. While she has a fun side and a sharp sense of humor, her defining qualities of focus and determination set her apart from her peers. From the athletic field (or pool, as she is an accomplished swimmer) to the classroom, Aralynn’s work ethic propels her to the front every time. She is kind and polite, yet quietly driven to outlast every competitor.
When a classmate lost everything to a home fire this year, Aralynn thought of a class fundraiser. Due to her efforts, the class raised over $400 in a walk-a-thon.
Her work is impeccable and her habits are admirable. She achieves everything she sets her mind toward, and Aralynn is a model for all of her peers to follow.

Hello, I am Aiden Foley, an 8th grader of Richfield Elementary. Being chosen for this award is an amazing feeling that I don’t think I will forget. There are a lot of great things that have happened to me in my life, but not like this.  During my times at school, I feel I’ve learned a lot and come a long way. I’ve always learned new things every day, and I would participate in physical activities as much as I can because I feel that a strong brain, and a strong body will get me through life. During home time or any free time I have, I listen to songs, or make my own or I would play some sports when I can. In Corning High, I am planning to take classes that help benefit me and my dreams of becoming a song artist. I haven’t really decided what college I will be attending but I’m sure I will know when the right time comes. But I also wouldn’t be here with some people that have helped me. My parents would be there to help me when I needed it, they would help get me into sports, and when I’m stressed, they would be there for me. My friends too would be there when I need the support, they too have helped me and make me smile when I needed it. My teachers too have taught me what I will need to know in order to move on in life, every teacher I’ve had has helped me challenge myself and improve myself. Once again this is an amazing thing that has happened to me and I am honored for this award. It’s an honor to be chosen as student of the year.
