Kenya Rhodes is the Arapaho Charter High School Student of the Week!
Kenya is a senior at ACHS, and the daughter of Matt Rhodes and Andrea Blackburn. She has been nothing short of outstanding in all aspects of student life, and a leader in multiple ways throughout her time here. “Kenya is a force to be reckoned with. She is a great athlete, outstanding student, gets involved in cultural celebrations, and is the Student Body President for the ACHS Warrior Council” says Nicole Biltoft. “She is kind to her classmates, makes sure everyone is included, and helps out wherever she can. She is a great role model for others and a great asset to ACHS.” All with straight-As to boot!
At ACHS Kenya is a leader on the school’s first-ever volleyball team, an accomplished basketball player, and was our first track and field state qualifier ever last spring. She’s looking forward to continuing that success this year. She is a part of the ACHS Bring Change to Mind club, participates in Upward Bound, and mentors younger students. She is eager and willing to step in and help whenever needed.
Outside of school Kenya enjoys making new friends, spending time with family, and beading. She sells her beadwork as an entrepreneurial venture as well. After she graduates in May she is planning either to attend Ft. Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, or to join the Marine Corps. ACHS is very proud of this young lady and the amazing all-around student she is. Keep it up, Kenya!
Matthew Rhodes and Andrea Blackburn are the proud parents of Kenya.
