Launch the media gallery 1 playerEvery month the students in the Leigh High School gather at an assembly to discover what three students are this month’s “Student of the Month.” This award is based on the votes of teachers that think which students have gone above and beyond on their schoolwork and extracurricular activities. This month’s “Student of the Month” winners are Kammy Held, Brayden Loseke, and Luke Eisenmann.
Our first winner for “Student of the Month” was senior Kammy Held. Her parents are Keal and Heather Held of Leigh. Her grandparents are Mike and Joy Malena of Leigh, and the late Robert and Lorraine Held of Leigh.
She participates in a numerous amount of extracurricular activities, which include FFA, One-Act, Journalism, YAC, FBLA, and Dance. When asked what her favorite subject was in school she responded with, “My favorite subject in school is ag class. It helps me prepare for the future with being an ag education teacher, and it also enhances my knowledge of agriculture.”
Her favorite hobbies out of school are showing livestock and hanging out with friends. When asked what she wants to do after high school she said, “I have gotten accepted to UNL and am going there in the fall of 2025. I am going to major in Agricultural Education and minor in Ag Communications.”
This is her first time receiving “Student of the Month”. When asked how she feels getting this award she says, “I feel proud and honored for receiving this award because I have never gotten it. All of my hard work and dedication has paid off in school!”
Teachers said, “In the past year, Kammy has quietly been working her tail off, especially in her college classes. She has taken a very rigorous college course load this year. She is also a leader in our FFA chapter and dedicated to all extracurriculars she participates in. She has really opened up and seems to be enjoying her senior year.”
Our second winner for Student of the Month was junior Brayden Loseke. His parents are Brett and Kim Loseke. His grandparents are Rick and Judy Loseke and Marv and the late Janet Janssen.
He participates in many extracurricular activities, including FBLA, Quiz Bowl, National Honor Society, FFA, Stream Team, YAC, Speech, and One-Act. His favorite subjects in school are history and science. Out of school, Brayden enjoys reading and building model kits. In the future Brayden plans on going into something either studying mechanical engineering at UNL or studying aerospace engineering somewhere.
Brayden has received this award three times. When asked how he feels receiving this award he says, “I was surprised that I won the award, but it’s always nice to be recognized for my work.”
Teachers in the Leigh High School says, “He works hard and really cares about his grades and projects. He is always working to do his very best in whatever he is working toward. He is one of the few that when presented free time, he is almost always working.
Our third “Student of the Month” winner was junior Luke Eisenmann. His parents are Dave and Kim Eisenmann.
He also is in many extracurricular activities, which include FFA, Football, YAC, Speech, One Act, and Quiz Bowl. His favorite subject is math. Out of school he enjoys going out with friends. In the future, Luke plans on going into ag education.
Luke has received this award three times. When asked how he feels about receiving this award, he says, "It’s an honor to receive this award and it goes to show all of my hard work and time I’ve been putting into school and extracurriculars."
His teachers also had many things to say: “Luke has really grown into a great leader in our school and a role model for younger students. Luke makes school fun, but this year especially he has also really taken things seriously within the classroom, in his fine arts and FFA, and studying for the ACT test. Every morning, he is in the hallway practicing his speeches, and he took LOTS of notes during ACT prep.”
Congratulations to Kammy, Brayden, and Luke!
