Congratulations
Seth Roy
Sisters High School
2015
Student of the Year!
Seth Roy attributes his success as a student
at Sisters High School (SHS) to his work ethic,
which he credits to good infl uences — starting
with his parents.
“They’ve always pushed me to be a better
person,” he said. “Also, I’ve been involved in
Boy Scouts since sixth grade.”
Roy has skied on the Outlaws Nordic ski
team and served as captain of the cross-country
team. He is vice-director of the school’s tech
crew. He plays trumpet and French horn in the
school band and was accepted into the Central
Oregon Honor Band.
Academically, Seth’s bent is toward the sci-
ences. He’s almost got his pilot’s license through
the SHS fl ight sciences program.
“I like the sciences,” he said. “I plan to go
into the medical fi eld. My favorite course here is
defi nitely biology.”
For his peers and his teachers, Seth embodies
an ethic of hard work and service to others.
“Seth is a humble leader with great ambition and drive. I
assume Seth will be successful in any goals he sets out to ac-
complish. When I think of Seth I think of him leading a small
group of workers over the summer to clean up the landscap-
ing in our parking lot. The small group, led by Seth, was pull-
ing weeds and covering the area with mulch. It was not an
easy task and Seth never asked for any sort of recognition or
accolades, he simply did a job that he set out to accomplish.”
— Joe Hosang
“SETH! I am so happy to see Seth receive this — he total-
ly deserves it! He is always willing to help with whatever is
going on and does so with a smile! Congratulations, Seth!”
— Terri Rood
“I have had the pleasure of working with Seth on and
off throughout his four years at Sisters High School. He is
a positive addition to our high school culture. He’s easy to
work with, tries hard and puts a lot of time into the projects
he takes on. I’ve seen Seth working in our life skills pro-
gram, and he is kind to all those around him. He works on
our tech crew which demands a lot from students. He is in-
volved, friendly, and hard-working. Congratulations, Seth!”
— Kristy Rawls
“Seth is one of the kindest, most sincere individuals I have
ever known. He is dedicated to making this world a better
place both by his actions and his words. His smile and hello
every morning brighten my day! Congratulations, Seth.”
— Suzanne Lind
“Seth is a sincere and kind young man who brings a
smile and a dedicated heart to everything he does, including
his academics, music, scouting activities and friendships. He
is the sort of person who enriches our school community
every day he’s in the building. Congratulations, Seth!”
— Rob Corrigan
“Seth Roy is a kind, caring, and giving young man. He
has been a wonderful citizen of Sisters High School, giving
a lot of his time and energy to the track and cross-country
programs and sprucing up the outside entry area to make
our school more welcoming. Congratulations on your ac-
complishments, and thank you for your contributions, Seth!”
— Sally Taylor
“I have enjoyed getting to know Seth. He served the
cross-country team strongly as a captain, then he also works
well with special-needs students as a mentor. More impor-
tantly he is a good neighbor. Seth is a very caring and warm
young man, but just be careful when you are driving around
him. He still needs some work in that area, but otherwise he
is awesome!”
— Josh Nordell
“Congratulations, Seth! I have watched Seth over the
past two years take on leadership roles throughout the
school, but he does so quietly that I think many don’t re-
alize all that Seth makes happen at the high school. From
planning and implementing the Veterans’ Day Celebration,
to ensuring that all of the assemblies have their technical
needs met. I have come to rely on Seth, as he is the type of
student who does what he says he’s going to do, and always
with a smile on his face. Congratulations, Seth, you deserve
this honor.”
— Michele Hammer
“Seth has shown a great deal of initiative in fl ight sci-
ence, and is working steadily toward his private pilot’s
license ... a challenging undertaking. Well done!”
— Jon Renner
“We are extremely lucky to have a student like Seth Roy
at Sisters High School. He is one of the most well-rounded,
kind, service-oriented students I have worked with. He not
only participates in multiple athlete programs, but he excels
in music and academics. Seth is a leader within the scouting
program here in Sisters and he is often found in and around
the community performing service projects. His commitment
to his school and community is unparalleled. Over the sum-
mer months when most students are off playing at the lake,
I would often pull up to the high school parking lot early in
the morning to fi nd Seth and his work crew sweating and
digging in the dirt to help beautify the SHS grounds. I am
proud that Seth Roy will graduate from Sisters High School
this spring.”
— Tim Roth
“Seth is a terrifi c young man. He has great integrity and
always looks to help others before himself. He leads by ex-
ample and is respected for his actions.”
— Rand Runco
“In addition to his academic pursuits, Seth is to be ap-
plauded for his talent, dedication and enthusiasm toward
the arts in Sisters. He is an accomplished trumpet player,
recently earning a spot in Central Oregon Honor Band. He
goes above and beyond with tech crew to help make each
performance all that it can be. Thank you, Seth for your pas-
sion for music and your positive attitude! Congratulations!”
— Julie Cash
“Seth simply brightens the day of those he is around.
He is positive, friendly, and welcoming. His joy of life and
learning is both contagious and inspiring. For these reasons
(and many more), he is an excellent role model and will be
missed at SHS. Congratulations, Seth!”
— Samra Spear
“Seth gives so much to our school community. From
spear-heading an effort to maintaining the landscaping in
the high school parking lot to dedicating himself as a cap-
tain of the cross-country team, Seth has shown he will work
hard for his community. I am grateful to have known Seth
these past four years and to have been able to watch him
grow and contribute. He is well deserving of this recogni-
tion. Congratulations, Seth!”
