“The Spartan Challenge” program is designed to encourage students to be outstanding not only academically but also in clubs, sports, and all other school activities. This program will recognize those students who consistently demonstrate effective leadership, high character, citizenship, and who strive for excellence. “The Spartan Challenge” will allow staff to nominate those students that they believe should be recognized.

These are the students that are being recognized for April. These students exemplified the four main requirements; Effective Leadership, High Character, Good Citizenship, and a Drive for Excellence.
Senior Ava Clarke was nominated by Ms. Glathar and is being recognized for the Spartan Challenge. Ava was nominated because she has proven to be a true Ambassador of Goodwill for all students during her first year as an East High Ambassador. She has been particularly interested in the East exchange students and volunteers for every activity we’ve had for those students. She reaches out in her own time to help others. Ava has volunteered to do the hard work of editing the video that the group of Ambassadors is creating to welcome new students. Also pictured, Ms. Bishara (far left).
