Seniors are considered the leaders and role models for the younger classmen, and this is certainly true for Cassidy Hoffman and Kyleigh Rayback. These outstanding seniors were recognized as the November Students of the Month.

Her favorite class is Culinary Arts, and she enjoys hanging out with friends, family, and her four cats. After graduation, Cassidy plans on attending UNL and majoring in Accounting. She then wants to become a CPA.
Cassidy said, “I feel so honored to receive this award because it shows that all the hard work I’ve put in over the past six years hasn’t been for nothing. People have been noticing all the hard work I put into school and my extracurricular activities.”
