Spring 2013 Cats with Class

Twenty-four 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 20.  “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 Parent-Teacher Organization.  The students were joined by their family members, along with teachers and staff who nominated them for this prestigious honor.

Chairperson Cathy Noskowiak welcomed the attendees, who were praised by Principal Steve Andersson.  Assistant Principal Andy Jados introduced his friend and colleague, keynote speaker Thomas Baker, a school resource officer at Westerville South, who graduated from the school in 1978.  He talked about South’s long tradition of citizenship and community and encouraged students to continue to look out for each other.  “Things haven’t changed much – we’re proud now and we were proud then too,” he said. 

Closing remarks were made by student Titilayo Adelusola.  Faculty coordinator was Mary Fuchs.
