University High School Student Spotlight - January 13, 2022
High School Honoree – Melina Summey
Melina is such a kind person. Melina puts others' needs and feelings before herself. Melina is very kind and caring. She jumps up and is the first to volunteer to help someone else. Melina is a positive role model for other students. Not only is she an athlete, but also works as a part of the yearbook staff. Melina spends time in our classroom taking various photos of class events for the yearbook. She does so much more than just take pictures when she visits, she also spends time getting to know students. Her visits inspire students to work hard, set goals, and accomplish those goals through hard work and perseverance.
