“Positive, compassionate and dedicated are the
fi rst things that come to mind when I think about
Zidane. Since she was a freshman, she’s always
said ‘hi’ and she always seems so happy. Zidane
truly is the full package, as she is dedicated to her
studies, involved in extracurricular activities and
has a personality to enhance the school culture. Zi-
dane is truly a positive role model who adds to the
optimistic atmosphere of this school year. Thanks
Zidane, for all you do for Sisters High School.”
– Joe Hosang
“Zidane is the student at SHS who, when you en-
counter her in the hall, will always have a huge smile
on her face, greet you with an emphatic ‘What’s Up
Roth,’ and always ask what she can do to help. We
are extremely lucky to have her as a student at SHS.
She goes above and beyond every day.” – Tim Roth
“I’ve had the privilege of working with Zidane in
a variety of contexts: She’s been a student in many of
my English classes, a tutor in our school’s Writing
Center, and a leader on our Associated Student Gov-
ernment. In all of these contexts, Zidane’s incredible
work has exceeded my expectations. She is a student
who always elevates class discussions by listening
carefully to others and adding insightful comments.
She is a tutor who knows how to share her love of
learning and care for the people around her. And
she is a person who leads with a tough mind and
tender heart. I feel very blessed to be her teacher,
and I am so glad that she has won this award — she
truly deserves it.” – Matthew Bradley
“Zidane truly deserves this honor! Zidane has
many remarkable traits that recommend her: she
is a conscientious student, a diligent and persistent
inquirer, a hard-working teammate and a leader
among the students at SHS. But perhaps Zidane’s
most endearing trait is the good cheer that she
spreads around the building all day, every day
among classmates, staff and faculty. Her eternal
smile and consistently positive attitude draw in
those around her – we all celebrate Zidane’s many
successes. Go, Zidane, go!” – Rob Corrigan
“Zidane has been an incredible student through
four years of Chinese classes. She is involved in so
many school activities, yet she is able to keep up
with her in-class work. She is truly an inspiration
to me as a teacher, and to her fellow students. I’m
honored to have been her teacher and to get to know
her. Way to go, Zidane!” – David Perkins
“Zidane is a great student and an even better
person. She balances setting high expectations for
herself, caring about those around her, striving
for success, and appreciating the experience of
struggle toward success with a level of grace that is
extraordinary. SHS is a better place because she is
part of it.” – Daniel O’Neill
“My fi rst day here at the high school she went
out of her way to make me feel comfortable and
at ease. Her willingness to chat with me about her
future and hopes for her senior year, along with a
genuine concern for everyone’s well-being around
her was noted. A few days later, as I returned for
a second day at school, she was friendly and made
a point to say ‘Good morning, Mrs. Seed.’ (She
had only met me the one time!) What a great as-
set to our school and community! For me, it was a
wonderful introduction to the school and students
here at Sisters High. I wish her all the best in her
fi nal high school year and great success with her
career goals! Congratulations!” – Stephanie Seed,
Counseling Intern, OSU-Cascades
“Zidane is a dynamic, motivated, exceptional
young woman who inspires people around her to
be better! She pushes herself to learn and grow in
all aspects of her life. I cherished the class discus-
sions she initiated in chemistry and biology classes.
Zidane’s determination and vision has helped her
achieve her goals. In cross-country she has devel-
oped from a novice runner to an experienced and
competitive racer and captain who motivates others
through her actions. We are so fortunate to have Zi-
dane be a part of our community! Congratulations,
Zidane!” – Rima Givot
“Zidane brings light and life to the SHS student
body. She is incredibly well-balanced and is a model
of a servant leader.” – Charlie Kanzig
