Anna Bartlett
Sisters High School November 2017 Student of the Month
Anna Bartlett has been to a lot of schools
in her young life — from Malawi, Africa, to
Arizona, USA. She fi nds Sisters schools to
be special.
“We have really, really unique oppor-
tunities,” she says, citing the annual Fred
Hutchinson Cancer Research Center fi eld
trip, IEE, a variety of medical career-orient-
ed opportunities.
Anna has thrown herself into all of it,
pointing toward a career in missionary
nursing. Sheʼs also a three-sport athlete in
cross-country, swimming, and track and
fi eld; active in leadership; an IEE intern; a
greenhouse intern.
“Iʼve just tried to get myself involved,”
she says. “I like feeling like Iʼm doing some-
thing with my life, not just sitting around.”
Anna also values the culture of Sistersʼ
schools, where there is a great deal of caring
and trust among students and staff, and ev-
eryone is encouraged to be themselves.
“Anna has always been a compassionate
and caring young lady since Iʼve known her.
Yet, Iʼve witnessed how much she cares about
others and takes care of them. As a senior she
was automatically designated as a captain of
the cross-country team. I suspect that if the
team voted she wouldʼve become captain
anyway. Weʼve obviously seen how fast she
is, but what many havenʼt seen is how she
wrapped her arms around all the kids, joked
with them when they were down and guided
them when they needed direction. Over the
years Iʼve learned that some of the key char-
acteristics of being a Sisters High School
Outlaw is one who has integrity and is will-
ing to help others, one who believes the indi-
vidual is a part of something bigger. Anna is
a true Outlaw, congratulations.”
– Joe Hosang
“Anna is one of those few students that
truly does her best in every place that she
spends her time. She gives her best and helps
everyone around her to reach their potential.”
– Rand Runco
“I have had Anna in many of my Medi-
cal/Health Academy courses. I know she
will make a tremendous nurse because she
has a genuine, authentic personality; she is
very kind, accepting, and encouraging; and
because she is curious, determined, patient,
compassionate, hardworking, and has a
great sense of humor. Anna has such a spe-
cial, infectious laugh. She has a special way
of making every environment pleasurable,
even in tough, challenging times (such as
hospital rotations in her health occupations
class). Anna has a fun, witty personality and
certainly keeps everyone on their toes. I am
very proud of this young lady and all that she
has done at SHS, and all that she will
do in her future endeavors, to continue
being a most exceptional being.”
– Heather Johnson
“Anna Bartlett makes SHS better
each and every day. She is an engaged
student, a caring classmate, and a
natural leader. In the classroom, she
asks insightful questions that deepen
my understanding of the material.
In the hallways, she offers her warm
smile to everyone she sees. And on
ASG, she leads her peers through her
positive example. In short, Anna is an
outstanding student who constantly
reminds me what it means to be an
Outlaw. Iʼm very proud of her for earning
this award, and Iʼm very honored that she
has been my student.” – Matt Bradley
“Congratulations, Anna! We are so fortu-
nate that Anna is a part of our community.
She has inspired many by her strong work
ethic and dedication. Anna understands that
it takes diligent work to achieve her goals.
She also cares deeply about other people and
the world. She volunteers her time and en-
ergy to her community and environment. I am
so proud of Anna and I look forward to her
endeavors in the future!” – Rima Givot
“I have had the honor to know Anna in
the three years of Chinese class she took
from me, beginning when she was in middle
school. She is an amazing student! It has
been a thrill to open up the Nugget or the
Bulletin and see pictures of Anna compet-
ing in cross-country. Anna takes everything
she does very seriously, and strives to be the
very best she can be at whatever she does.
I know this amazing young woman wants to
travel the world after high school, and bring
her talents and passion to people of other
cultures. Congratulations, and way to go
Anna!” — David Perkins
“Anna is a hard working and bright kid. She
has an awesome sense of humor and makes
every class she is in better.” – Daniel OʼNeill
