Alexa Weber is Student of Month for February
Alexa Lynn Weber, senior at Castle View High School, was honored as Rotary Student of the Month for February 2014 by the Rotary Club of Castle Rock.
Weber was introduced to the club on February 26 by Castle View Assistant Principal Ryan Hollingshead. Alexa is exactly the kind of student the school takes pride in, said Hollingshead. With her at the presentation was, from left, Assistant Principal at Castle View High School Ryan Hollingshead, Alexa’s father Kris, her mother Lynn, her sister Holly and Rotary President-Elect Judson Mitchell.
Alexa Lynn Weber has been named the Rotary Club of Castle Rock’s Student of the Month for February.
She is very active in all aspect of the school. She is in the National Honor Society, takes Advanced Placement classes, is a varsity tennis player and is in the theater department. Outside the school Weber is a Girl Scout and has completed the highest level of scouting possible, the Gold Award. That is a thing not common to high school students these days, Hollingshead said.
Hollingshead said Weber’s teachers say she is hard working, brings a lot of infectious, positive energy with her and has a passion for learning.
Weber carries a 4.0 GPA and has won an academic letter every year in high school. She also was selected for the Academic All-State First Team in grades nine through 11.
In the community Weber was a volunteer for the Phillip S. Miller Library, the Douglas County Fair and community theater groups.
Weber said perhaps her biggest achievement in community service was an electronic recycling program she started at Larkspur Elementary School. She started the program as a Girl Scout Gold Award project last year and the program continues at the school, now being run by students at the school.
Weber credits her success and her attitude in life to her family and friends.
She said she plans to attend either the University of Kansas or the University of Missouri at Columbia to study mass media and journalism.
