Congratulations to our January and February students of the month, seniors Brooke Ojeda and Harmony Fisher. Both were honored on Friday by the Peoria Rotary Club for epitomizing the organization's motto of "Service Above Self."

Next year, she plans to attend university, where she'll study to become a petroleum engineer. Mr. Wolff nominated Harmony, who is a member of DECA and Speech and Debate. She also serves as Vice Chair of the Peoria Youth Advisory Council. Harmony plans to study political science on her way to law school. She hopes to someday practice Civil Law. Both students are AP Capstone candidates, preparing to present and defend their projects this coming April.
