A 9th grader has been awarded “Student of the Month” for January at DeKalb County High School.
15-year-old Lilly Anderson, daughter of Caitlin and the late PFC Billy Gene Anderson, was surprised to learn Friday that she had been named the recipient of the honor which included a certificate and a gift card for a meal at Jude’s Traveling Food.
“She did not know she had won the award whatsoever. Lilly was nominated by one of the teachers because she is always willing to help someone no matter what and we really appreciate having her around,” said DCHS Assistant Principal Seth Willoughby.
Lilly said she enjoys being in high school and receiving this honor was amazing. Her plans are to one day become a veterinarian because of her love for animals.
