Each week, students are nominated by our teachers to receive a Friday Firebird Award. This award is given to students who set a wonderful example by demonstrating one of the Habits of Mind!

Abby C., a 10th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Ms. Seneca shared, "Abby is a young woman of character. She is respectful to everyone and demonstrates integrity. Abby is a bright light around WCA and a positive influence on her peers. Way to go, Abby!

Abigale M., an 11th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Dr. Innocenti shared, "Abby demonstrated excellent leadership of the American faction during the ‘Yalta Conference React to the Past’ exercise in her college world history course. Abby developed a sound understanding of American aims at Yalta, which allowed her to lead her peers effectively. She realized how FDR's physical limitations impacted broader themes of international relations. She gave a speech with a fantastic accent. Her creativity and ability to keep the class engaged show a real passion for innovation and, dare I say it, for making history fun and accessible. “

Gage C., a 9th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Ms. Seneca shared, "Gage is a young man of character. He is respectful to everyone and demonstrates integrity. He is a positive influence on his peers both academically and behaviorally. Way to go, Gage!”

Lillie M., an 11th grader, was recognized as a Firebird Award winner! Ms. Seneca shared, "Lillie is positive, kind, supportive, and committed to doing well academically. She is constantly smiling and offering hope to anyone she sees. Thank you for being such a bright light at WCA. Way to go, Lillie!”
