October Spotlight: Celebrating Students and Staff Achievements
October has been a fantastic month at OUHSD, where we’ve had the opportunity to recognize some truly exceptional students and staff members who bring positivity, dedication, and growth to our schools each day. Please join us in celebrating our October Spotlight Winners!
Student Spotlights
Thomas Quintana – Las Plumas High School
"Thomas is a bright spot in my day whenever I see him! Thomas ALWAYS greets me by name when he sees me and asks how I am doing. He is kind to his classmates and teachers. He has shown so much growth these past couple of years, and we are super proud of him!"
— Gem Henderson
Cheyenne Song – Oroville High School
"Cheyenne has grown, as a student and a leader, by leaps and bounds since I first had her as a student 2 years ago. She stepped out of her comfort zone and competed in FCCLA last year (won at the region level!) and, this year, she has stepped up and become an FCCLA region officer. Aside from her leadership skills, Cheyenne is kind, respectful, and has a sense of humor that keeps everyone’s spirits high. I'm excited to see where the future takes her!"
— Sandy Smith
Alexis Robertson – Prospect High School
"Alexis brings a positive vibe to class. She is quick to smile, is willing to help, and takes responsibility for her behavior and education. I love having her at our school!!"
— Dawn White
Maintenance Team Spotlight
Santos Servantes, Russell Grimenstein, and Jason Cash – Maintenance Team
"Santos, Russell, and Jason took very little time off this summer and worked hard to complete many projects during one of our busiest summers. We have a great team!"
— Bill Cash
