The J.O. Combs Unified School District and Banner Ironwood Medical Center administered the Student of the Month awards for December. The program provides an opportunity each month for one student from each of the district's eight schools to be recognized for demonstrating one of the various pillars of the Character Counts program. One character trait is selected each month and students are selected by their principal or teacher.
Traits included in the Character Counts Program are responsibility, trustworthiness, citizenship, caring, respect and fairness. For the month of December, students were recognized for demonstrating the character trait of caring.
Selected students are celebrated for their achievement with a certificate of recognition at the monthly governing board meeting, where they are acknowledged by Superintendent Dr. Greg Wyman, the governing board and a Banner Ironwood Medical Center representative.
Students of the Month for December are:
- Combs High School - Isabella Hatch.
- Combs Center for Success - Addison “Bea” Scroggins.
