Junior Alex Gonzolas has been chosen as the February Student of the Month. He is the son of Phillip and Janet Gonzolas.
Alex thinks he was chosen because he has been working hard, and he tries to be kind and respectful to his teachers so they like him.
Alex is involved in National Honor Society, Student Council, Mixed Choir, Drama Club, football, forensics and Scholars Bowl. He also is the girls basketball manager.
Although Alex is very involved, he still manages to keep his grades up, placing on the high honor roll last nine weeks.
“He is involved in many school activities, keeps his grades up and is a positive student leader,” said Mrs. Darlene Griffiths, math instructor.
After high school, Alex would like to attend Butler County Community College for a communications major in radio or television. After finishing at Butler, he wants to attend Kansas University where he will complete his communications degree.
“He is involved in many activities and is a good academic student,” said Mrs. Caryn Albrecht, attendance secretary.
