GALION – Mario Freeman, a senior at Galion High School, was selected as the December 2016 Student of the Month. The positive character trait for December at GHS was “demonstrating self-control.”
Mario was selected as the winner from a group of more than 20 of his peers at GHS. Those students nominated for December 2016 Student of the Month included: Zhamir Anderson, Evan Barker, Autumn Barone, Logan Cook, Cheyanne Daugherty, Alan Evans, Rachel Jarvis, Dylan Jourdan, Hunter Lloyd, Gillian Miller, Wentz Morris, Shae Ness, Kara Painter, Tapanga Parsley, Gavin Pennington, David Riddle, Joah Singer, Matt Sparks, Mac Spears, Katherine Talbott, Madelyn Thomas, Alexa Tinch, Courtney Throckmorton and Asher Whited.
“This is a great step toward fulfilling the leadership responsibilities expected of me,” said Freeman. “My high school days are coming to an end and I want to leave knowing I helped change what is expected from a high school senior.”
Freeman is a member of the jazz band, marching band and symphonic band, and is a member of the boys basketball team. Following graduation, Mario plans to continue his education in accounting and play basketball.
“Mario demonstrates self-control every day and is a good role model for students,” said High School Principal Ron Williams. “He is very deserving of this honor and I am excited to see what the future holds for him.”
