Rylee Weber
Sisters High School October 2017 Student of the Month
Rylee Weber has thrived amid the
multitude of opportunities offered at
Sisters High School.
“The more youʼre willing to put
yourself out there, the more youʼre
willing to dive in… the cooler the ex-
perience is,” she says.
A three-sport athlete every year —
in a variety of sports, Rylee loves to
be physically active and outdoors in
Sisters. She also loves to organize and
lead her fellow students while serving
her community. Sheʼs been on multiple
missions to Mexico and is involved
with Bridgestone Homeless Shelter
in Portland — but organizing the Mr.
SHS pageant as a junior in support of
Sisters Family Access Network was
especially meaningful to her, “getting
to make a difference in the place I love,
where Iʼm growing up.”
Rylee is currently Student Body
President. She plans to attend col-
lege with a career goal of going into
nursing.
“Ryleeʼs excitement for life is completely
contagious. She can light up a room when
she walks in. I have completely enjoyed
teaching and learning from her over the last
two years. I canʼt wait to see what she does
after high school, Iʼm sure whatever it is she
will knock it out of the park.”
— Tony Cosby
“I remember Rylee entering as a fresh-
man. She was just as gregarious then as she
is now. I knew that she would have a positive
impact on our school. If you see Rylee any-
where throughout the school, sheʼs always
smiling and saying hello. I have only known
her to be positive and resist the temptation to
engage in gossip. Even when things around
her seem to be negative Rylee tries to see the
good. I remember Rylee making a refl ective
internal statement when she was struggling
as an underclassman. When I asked Rylee
how things were going, she couldʼve went
directly to something external but instead
she said, ʻI have some things that I need to
improve on.ʼ What a star! I am grateful for
her infl uence, and she certainly deserves
recognition.”
— Joe Hosang
“Rylee Weber is an outstanding Outlaw
in every way. In the classroom, she follows
her curiosity and perseveres through her
setbacks. On the fi eld, she leads her team
by example and competes with a positive
attitude. And in the community, she brings
people together and serves with her
whole heart. She is one of those stu-
dents whoʼs always striving to make
SHS better, and she succeeds in this
endeavor every day. She is an excellent
student and an even better person who
defi nitely deserves this award.”
— Matt Bradley
Rylee Weber works so hard to
learn and master concepts. Her spirit
is contagious. She reaches out to all
students and cares deeply for her com-
munity. I am so proud of Rylee! Her
inspiration is infectious. Thank you
for all you do!”
— Rima Givot
“Opportunity is sometimes hard to
recognize if youʼre only looking for a lucky
break.”
—Monta Crane
“This quote reminds me of Rylee because
she is the kind of person who doesnʼt wait for
things to happen, but takes risks and notices
even cracked-open doors, and slithers in.
She moves through life gracefully and joy-
fully, taking advantage of opportunities and
learning from mistakes. Countless times, I
have witnessed Ryleeʼs kindness… taking the
time to thank our custodians, reaching out
to a new student, volunteering to help some-
one in need. On numerous occasions, I have
also seen her joy for life… leading the crowd
in cheers at sports events, encouraging her
teammates on the soccer fi eld, making jokes
and laughing in class. I am confi dent that this
young lady will continue to positively touch
lives. I will miss hearing her in the halls at
SHS and having her in class. Keep taking ad-
vantage of every opportunity, Rylee!”
— Samra Spear
“Rylee helps make SHS a better place.
Her positive attitude, leadership, and work
ethic are contagious. Thanks for all you do,
Rylee!”
