A 12th grader has been awarded “Student of the Month” for October at DeKalb County High School.
Alissa Summers, daughter of Crystal Summers, said she is happy to have been selected by the teachers at the school for this honor. As “Student of the Month”, Alissa has received a certificate and a gift card for a meal at Kilgore’s Restaurant. In March, Alissa’s mother Crystal was awarded “Parent of the Month” based on a winning essay by Alissa.
Assistant Principal Seth Willoughby said Alissa was nominated by the office staff because of her help as an office aide during a class period at school.
Alissa said her favorite subjects are math and history, and she is a member of the Student Government Society, Literature Club and Science Club. Her plans are to attend Tennessee Tech University where she has already been accepted. Her goal is to be a teacher.
