2018 - Amaya Harris
Amaya’s quiet and humble personality has been showcased on several occasions as she interacts with her classmates, explaining to them assignments they have difficulty understanding. She never helps students with an air of braggadocio, but instead seeks to understand what specific concept is challenging and give encouragement and advice on strategies she has used that is successful and can be emulated by others. This academic year, Amaya presented her business plan at a competition with other students in Hartford County and her poise and confidence of delivery allowed her team to place second. Amaya is well respected by both staff and students. Obtaining the Rotary Club of Windsor Charitable Trust scholarship will enable her to obtain her dream of majoring in Business administration at the college of her choice. She received the distinction of being March 2018 Rotary Student of the Month. This exceptional young lady who goes about her daily life as a student without much fanfare but represents Windsor High School, her family and community with distinction. She will be attending Bay Path College majoring in Business Administration. |
2017 - Madeira Alexander
During her tenure at Windsor High School, Madeira has demonstrated the ability to be articulate about concepts that are esoteric and somewhat difficult for many students especially those who have not gained work experience. She has the keen ability to make connections between various disciplines to write in-depth analyses of complex financial and social problems. Madeira has my utmost respect as she has remained humble and patient when being helpful to other classmates who have difficulty understanding concepts. Madeira is always the student who will gently and quietly nudge her classmates to remain focused to complete assignments by their due dates. Although Madeira is active in sports, volunteers with special needs students, her church, and the Girl Scouts, she has always turned in high quality work on time. Throughout the years Madeira was an active participant in our class discussions and inquiry circle discourse, and she always supportive of her peers. Her caring nature and personality allows her to work well with others in a team setting, as she always respects others' opinions even when they differ from her own. Madeira will be attending Salisbury University in the fall and I am certain that Madeira’s work ethic, her curiosity and empathy for others, will be an asset at Salisbury University. Congratulations! Madeira on such an outstanding achievement. |

Junae consistently demonstrates a level of concern and perseverance not seen by many students in her age group.In addition to a full academic course load, Junae works as a student teller at the school branch of the Windsor Federal Savings Bank. Her supervisor at the bank was so impressed by her performance that they are considering hiring her when she is on break from college. Junae has tremendous organizational skills which was evidenced when FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) and FCCLA (Family Community Career Leaders of America) had joint community service projects with Windsor Food and Fuel Bank and Feeding Children Everywhere. During these community service projects, Junae managed and delegated assignments with ease and kept team spirits high. Junae is well respected by both faculty and her peers.
