Shawna Gardner was nominated as the Arapaho Charter High School student of the week by ACHS Staff.
Arapaho Charter High School honors Shawna Gardner as our Student of the Week!
Shawna is an absolute rockstar of a student, athlete, and human being! The daughter of Ben Gardner and Drisella Durgin, she is a senior at ACHS and a Senior Class Representative to the Warrior Council – ACHS’ student government. She is a regular fixture on the school’s 4.0 GPA Honor Roll and an accomplished athlete as well. “Shawna has a perfect 100% in my class,” writes one nominating teacher. “She is a key member of the school’s Girl’s Basketball team and a member of our Student council as well.” Indeed, if there’s something to be involved with at ACHS you’ll always find Shawna at the heart of it.
In this, her senior year, Shawna has been a leader on both the Volleyball and Girls Basketball teams playing setter and point guard, respectively. She is a leader in everything she takes on, and carries herself with a quiet confidence that fellow students just naturally gravitate to. Her winning smile, academic dedication, and personal strength make her a force to be reckoned with and will serve her well in the lifetime that lies in front of her. Outside of school Shawna love to play basketball and volleyball, as well as hang out with her close-knit family. After she graduates in May she plans to pursue education, and ultimately a career, in Nursing. She is considering attending Wind River Job Corps or Central Wyoming College for that very thing. We’re proud of you, Shawna; congrats!
Ben Gardner and Drisella Durgin are the proud parents of Shawna.
