Hannah McAnulty of Pepperell and Owen Santos of Chelmsford have been selected as September’s Students of the Month at Nashoba Valley Technical High School, based on the school’s “Portrait of a Graduate” attributes: resourceful, responsible, resilient, respectful and ready.
Hannah McAnulty, daughter of John and Emily Edwards, is a senior in the Early Education & Care program and is planning to enroll in college to major in Elementary Education. She is an honor-roll student, a freshman mentor and a member of SkillsUSA. This is her second time being named Student of the Month.
Hannah was nominated by two staff members.
Bob Musto, Nashoba Tech’s School Resource Officer, wrote: “Hannah has an amazing personality. She is kind, sweet, polite, friendly, courteous and respectful. She recently went out of her way to help me put together a presentation for some classes. She is a huge asset to the NT student body and community and will very hard to replace when she graduates in June.”
Kyle Stumpf, a permanent substitute teacher, echoed those comments: “Hannah never fails to put someone in a good mood when they’re having a bad day. She is always respectful toward everyone.”
Owen Santos, son of Paul and Ludovina Santos, is a junior in the Plumbing & Heating program who is interested in attending college before embarking on a career in the plumbing field.
Owen was nominated by two staff members.
English teacher Courtney Nugent wrote: “Owen is not only kind but is also thoughtful. He is always asking teachers and peers how they are doing, and he genuinely cares about the people around him. Additionally, Owen is the perfect representative of Nashoba Tech’s Portrait of a Graduate. He is one of a kind and such a joy to have in class.”
Spanish teacher Amy St. Arnaud wrote: “Owen is a natural at languages and loves to learn and practice Spanish and Portuguese. This career-ready skill will help him connect with others and build relationships. Owen is a kind and respectful student and participates frequently in class.”
