STAR Students & Teachers

This is an image of Kayla Troung and Mrs. King smiling with a ball of fire.

Kayla on being a STAR Student: "The Star Student Award is quite distinguished, and it represents the abundance of guidance and support the teachers at Northwest have bestowed upon me. I strongly believe that I would not have met the requirements if I didn't have their mentorship and encouragement. With the academic and life lessons I learned from teachers like Mrs. King, I achieved a 36 on the ACT and a 100+ Cumulative GPA, qualifying me for the Star Student Program. I was overjoyed and relieved when I heard that I was a Star Student because I felt like the time spent and sacrifices made were beginning to pay off."

Mrs. King on Kayla: "Kayla came to tell me that I would be her "Star Teacher" on the first day of school this year. it literally made my year! I've been teaching 25 years, and this is the first time that I have received this honor. To me, this means the most, because it is chosen by students. Kayla didn't need me to succeed; she worked hard for all of her success and I think she was in my room for most zero blocks. Kayla always wanted to understand the "why" behind every lesson. She was also a great help to others who were struggling. She has a fantastic personality, and always just looks at me with her beautiful smile. Ironically, Kayla was also my first ever "incident report" for the lab in 25 years! But even so, words can't describe how honored I am for her to choose me as her "Star Teacher.

I can't wait to see where her future leads her, and one day I'm gonna say: "I taught that one EVERYTHING she knows! LOL!" We have a fantastic staff at NWRHS. Kayla had many other teachers she could have chosen. This honor was so important to me, that the first thing I did was call my daddy and momma. As teachers, it is our hope that we can be a positive influence on a few students, but sometimes THEY make an impression on us! Thanks Kayla for making such an impact on MY life!"
