We've had a wonderful and successful academic year and today we're excited to celebrate the achievements of our hardworking students. I'd like to extend a sincere thank you to our dedicated teachers, administration, and staff for their continued support and commitment to student success. A special special thank you as well to our principal, Mrs. DKI, for her leadership throughout the school year. Congratulations to all of our award recipients. We're proud of you. I'd now like to welcome Mrs. Dbecki. [Applause] Good morning. Thank you,
002Mrs. Panto, for that welcoming and thank you for organizing today's awarded ceremony. I get the pleasure of um recognizing the students that have perfect attendance. To have perfect attendance, that means that you're never late to school. You never leave early. That you're here the entire school day. So, you've missed zero school this entire school year. And this year, we have three students that we're going to recognize for that. Bella Wilson, Mandy Zang, and Nikki Zang. [Applause] And of course they're here. I'm also going to recognize um two students for their hard work. These students you'll find in the office throughout random times of the day. You'll also kind of find them if we have a sub in one of their classes. Um sometimes you'll find them in the morning helping out. They are the left
003and right hand of the secretaries in the high school office. Uh they do anything at a drop of a dime. Um very very very helpful. I'm very very thankful for them. Miss Abby Ray and Bella Wilson. [Applause] And now I'd like to welcome Taylor Rudy. She is with Domestic Violence Services of Southwestern Pennsylvania. [Applause] Good morning. As mentioned, my name is Taylor with Domestic Violence Services of Southwestern Pennsylvania or DBSSP. Each year in February, we host a contest around domestic violence awareness month for some video awareness projects done by students. Teen dating violence affects about 60% of teens. And this program really gives students a chance to be on the front lines of raising that awareness and pushing the issue for people their own age. It is my pleasure along with our sponsor of the
004program uh first federal to award first place which is $200 cash and some certificates to a group of sophomores here at Carmichaels. On behalf of DBSS P and first federal I'd like to congratulate Havoc Toth Avery Boyhawker Brianna Walker and Milana Milana Hartig with these certificates and a cash prize. So if you guys want to come forward that'd be great. Thank you. [Applause] and welcome Mr. Lane. Good morning. This year's junior social studies award winner did a fantastic job in the classroom, earning high marks in multiple AP and weighted classes. She is a volunteer for the Carmichael's Area Historical Society, taking part in digital archiving and the find a grave project at Laurel Point Cemetery. Dosen and historical reenactor for the Bradford House Museum in Washington. state finalist in 2021 and 2022 Pennsylvania National History

She hopes to pursue degrees in history and communication with aspirations of becoming a museum curator. This year's junior social studies award winner is Emma Bates. [Applause] Next up is Mr. McCubs. Good morning. There's always that one student who keeps you on your toes in the best in the best way. The one who's curious, thoughtful, and fully locked in. Someone who reminds you why teaching can be so rewarding. This student would catch me at lunch the period before their class started to ask, "What are we doing today?" Not out of impatience, but out of genuine excitement to dive in. The questions they asked in class weren't just about what was happening now, but where we
006were going next. More than once, I found myself saying, "Yes, hold on to that thought." because they were already connecting the dots before we got there. They brought their own style and creativity to every assignment, never cutting corners, never phoning it in, and they did it all with respect, focus, and wide confidence. This student proved that you don't have to be the loudest person in the room to make one of the biggest impacts. This year's ELA1 student of the year is Jericho Shiffower. [Applause] Thank you. Thomas friend. Is Thomas friend here? No. He's at work. Oh, okay. He was waiting all year for a hug. I was going to give him one. Uh, next up, uh, I'll pass it on to Mrs. [Applause] Tobac. In AP language and composition, a big part of our class
007is held through discussions. This year, my whole group went above and beyond analyzing their text, thinking outside the box, and using creativity for our discussion. One student was sometimes hesitant if she wanted to share her thoughts aloud, but she did. I watched her grow this year, gaining more confidence in herself to share aloud, but also within her creativity and her writing. She's open-minded, creative, responsible, and respectful. This year, the AP Language and Composition Award goes to Kaylee Dicki. Thank you. In advanced DLE10, students show their independence. A lot of work is done outside of the classroom and sometimes for students that can be a challenge. This student completed homework on time, always volunteered, and was always sure to be involved. She not only did what was expected, but also went a step beyond that expectation.
008She always shared with the class and had unique creativity, and her writing was always insightful. This year, the advanced ELA 10 award goes to Milana. [Applause] One more. My 10th grade ELA classes are full of students who work hard. Students who complete their work on time, are respectful in the classroom, can make class enjoyable are what teacher what a teacher wants. There were several students this year who did that in ELA, but one student in particular stood out to me. This students did did all of those things and more. She was always engaged, wanted to share her thoughts in our discussions, and work consistently to achieve more each time there was an assessment. This year, the ELA 10 award goes to Trinity Connor. [Music] And now Mrs. Kisner. [Applause] live. So, I have two awards
009today. The thing about art, and most of you are at a disadvantage because you didn't have it in elementary school, but is a place where you can find and express yourself. And it is very timeconuming. So, I have an award for two students who you can find mostly in the art room working on their work and always hard at work and expressing themselves through art. The first award goes to Skyler Gundetting. And the second one is for Bailey Land, but I don't think she's here. And the next one up is Miss Miller or Mr. Croll. Good morning. The health and fitness award is presented on behalf of Mr. Cru and I to a student who goes above and beyond the requirements and the expected uh requirements of the health and fitness fitness classroom. And this
010particular student has done that plus much more. This student gives their all, has a positive attitude, and gives a helping hand to those around him. This student is also inclusive and shows compassion towards our life skill students and his classmates in general by participating with them and rooting them on during any class activity. He has great attendance and is always prepared for class with the appropriate attire and attitude. This student has also displayed strong will, grit, and isn't easy to give up. He actually challenged me to bad to play badman with him a few times and after the sixth or seventh time he finally beat me and he never gave up. And that's what it takes to win this award. So without further ado, I'm proud to present the 2025 health and fitness award to
011Casey [Applause] Shook. Okay, moving on. So for the past, this is the Merciful Mike's award, leadership and faith award. So for the past four years, Emma Bates, Isaiah Curry, and Austin Phillips have dedicated their time and efforts to the club of merciful mice. I say the last four years because four years ago was when this club was started by Emma when she was just in seventh grade. We had our first club meeting September 9th, 2021 with 10 students in attendance. And at this time I was thrilled and thought that was a lot. And flash forward to now, the club averages around 60 students, which I believe makes it the largest organization here at Chronicles. And since we get around 60 students, we split it up into middle school and high school on separate days during
012Mike's. This happened because these three students stepped up in boldness and shared their will of Jesus. And it became contagious. Sure, we had snacks when things were first kicked off, but when the snacks stopped, the students kept attending, which meant they were hungry for something more than just cookies and donuts. If I told you all the ways I've seen God move among the students in the club, well, I would be here for a while. And if I told you all the times these three stepped up in faith, loved a student in need, or made an impact on the culture of this school, well, we would also be here for a little while longer. Emma, Isaiah, and Austin, you have exhibited leadership among your peers and have demonstrated a bold faith in Jesus Christ. It has
013been an honor to watch you grow in your faith over the years. And that is why I'm incredibly excited to honor for the first time the Merciful Mike's Leadership and Faith Award. Come on. Um, up next is Mr. Woka. [Music] Morning everyone. Um, my first award I want to present is my best physical science student of the year award. Physical science is a course offered to 10th graders usually. And this student, his grades were topnotch, his participation, his interest, his activity level, all where I would like to see all my students. He was always interested. He always participated and all around he was just a good person. So this year's physical science award is for Austin Phillips. My next awards are I want to honor my bots IQ team. Car Michaels has been participating in
014Boss IQ off and on for about 10 years now. We took a break during the co years. Um it's tough sometimes building a combat robot. So bots IQ is a we design, build and uh compete with a 15lb combat robot. I took seven kids, six kids actually this year to uh California to participate. And even though our results weren't what we wanted, we still accomplished everything that we set up for ourselves. We had a weapon working. We were able to be in the verdict. So if we got flipped over, we were able to drive and still compete. So those were our two top goals and we achieved both of them. I would like to thank the following people. Jason Bear, Logan Brown, Shaylee Glover, Roy Wgleman, AJ Shook, and Le Yakapovich. And now Mr. Bricks.
015All right. Morning. Um, this year's outstanding computer program award is based on the uh Python course that we do here that's offered by Carnegie Melon University. This student was uh number one in the class, highest scores on all the all the individual chapter tests that are given. Uh this year's winners, Logan Brown. Yep. Uh my second and final award is for graphic student of the year. Uh the whole course is based on producing the yearbook which I think we do a great job every single year and I'm proud of the book so far this year and if you haven't ordered yet www.jostinsearbooks.com. Um Abigail Cabba [Applause] All right, Mr. Willis. So, first I'd like to applaud all students who challenged themselves to take their car Carlo and high school courses. Uh we had a lot
016of hardworking uh college and high school uh chemistry students this year, but one stood out above the rest. And so the Carlo chemistry award is presented to Olivia Lana. And we had a clean sweep at the Green County. Uh the Environ team two placed third. Environ three placed second. And Environ team one placed first. Team one got a chance to go to the uh Pennsylvania State Environ. And of 64 teams in the state, uh they placed second. So I'd like to recognize all these students.
