The Queen Creek Unified School District (QCUSD) recently recognized its April Students and Employees of the Month. They are from Crismon High School and Queen Creek High School.
Crismon High School, Queen Creek High School Students of the Month
- Adrianna Meyer - “Adrianna is the most hardworking, organized student I have seen in a long time. Adrianna goes above and beyond in taking focused notes, applying concepts to ideas outside of the classroom, supporting peers and engaging in critical thinking skills that encompass out-of-the-box thinking as well as an open mindset for further conversation. She is kind and often a silent leader. Adrianna demonstrates a wealth of increased knowledge and is an absolute pleasure to have in class.” - Mrs. Giannetti
- Caden Speck - “Caden Speck is a student-athlete who has overcome adversity to be a tremendous athlete for the track and field program. Coach Hardt speaks very highly of him while being a member of the track team. Caden started out as an undersized high school student to be an outstanding runner for the track program. He has put in time to train to put on good weight and strength. Last year he overcame an injury as a junior to now bounce back as a senior. This past month Caden in the 4x400 as the anchor runner at the Desert Saunders Montague Classic, helped bring the team back in the last lap to win the event. Currently, QCHS is ranked No. 1 in the 4x400 in the state. Coach Hardt has said, "I've never seen anybody not give up when most kids would quit, but that young man did not and he's got a great attitude." - Mr. DrivingHawk
