Emma's teacher, Rick Gurski, nominated her for Student of the Month, and had this to say about his student:

I enthusiastically recommend Emma Fish for the March Student of the Month at .  I have gotten to know Emma over the past few years and have become more and more impressed with her each day.  Emma has been a varsity athlete lettering in multiple sports for the past three years.  She has led the girls soccer, basketball, and softball teams to many victories, helping to earn our girls softball team the title of Suburban League Champions her junior year.  On the field she has the heart of a lion and pushes herself to the limit.  In the classroom this effort and desire to do her best is even stronger, earning marks that place her in the top 10 percent of our senior class.  She is more than willing to work to help others around her.  I know when I need to count on a student to get a job done Emma is my first choice. She has helped to provide leadership and incite quality in various student groups.  She is intelligent, caring, empathetic, and hardworking.  When considering a candidate for a Student of the Month, Emma Fish is a perfect fit.  She is a prime example of the best and brightest at Copley High School.  In my years of working in schools I have seldom come across a student with such potential, I am sure that Emma will do great things in the future.

 

Congratulations, Emma! Have fun at prom!
