Quinlan
Crowe
Sisters High School May 2020 Student of the Month
Quinlan Crowe always gives her best.
She’s a three-sport athlete (cross coun-
try, swimming, and tennis) and hopes to
graduate with an honors diploma.
She likes to think of herself as
“motivated and responsible,” and she
seeks to be well-rounded — an attri-
bute facilitated by a small school district
that nevertheless offers a wide range of
opportunities.
Quinlan appreciates a culture that
allows and encourages students to be art-
ists and athletes as they pursue academic
excellence.
She’s served as swim team captain,
on LINK Crew, and worked as an intern
at Sisters Christian Academy and as a
biology intern.
“I just want to succeed,” she said. “I
want to be a successful person — be the
best person I can be, really.”
Quinlan seeks to become a massage
therapist, with plans to attend COCC’s
program in that field before seeking a
business degree at a four-year university.
She is grateful to the Sisters commu-
nity for their support through a strange
end to a senior year.
“I’ve just seen so much support from
the whole community (to) support the
seniors and make the best of what we’ve
got,” she said.
“Quinlan is an infinitely warm and caring
person who is a gift to Sisters High School.
Her ability to lead others in a positive nurtur-
ing way is one of her true talents. When teach-
ers, coaches, or friends need a helping hand,
Quinlan is always there ready and willing.
Thank you Quinlan for the warmth, kindness
and relentless positive spirit you give to Sisters
High School.” — Tim Roth
“Congratulations Quin! In having Quin in
art classes since she was a hesitant freshman,
I have seen her come into her own confidence
and leadership role! She interacts well with her
peers and is always happy to help or share her
time. She is kind, thoughtful, helpful, and inquis-
itive. Way to go!” — Bethany Gunnarson
“Quinlan always takes initiative in class.
Never afraid to speak her mind and share her
wisdom with others.” — Ada Chao
“Quinlan is everything you want to see in
an Outlaw! Caring, hardworking, and a positive
force on our campus. She is also one of only a
handful of SHS Seniors this year who competed
in 3 sports for all 4 years of her time with us.
She is a great example of what a student athlete
should be, and we appreciate all she has done
for SHS. Thank you Quinlan!” — Gary Thorson
“Quinlan Crowe is a very special person.
She is selfless, caring, perceptive, and incred-
ibly strong. When she puts her mind to do
something, she follows through and inspires
others through her actions. This year the cross
country team started a special award in her
honor, the Q award, recognizing students who
tirelessly work to face odds and persevere when
most people would be discouraged and quit.
It has been such a privilege to know Quinlan
these past four years. We are so fortunate she
and her family chose to be Outlaws.
We are better because of her.”
— Rima Givot
“Quinlan is one of the grittiest
and relentless and persistent and
slowest and loveliest runners I have
ever coached. Her determination and
infectious personality made her one
of the most important parts of our
team. In four years, her positivity
never waivered. We challenged her
and she would step up, she would
push herself and she would support
her teammates. Her impact on the
Cross Country team moved us to
create a new yearly award for an
athlete which demonstrates the
qualities we see in Quinlan, we
named the award after her. Myself
and the whole Cross Country team
are truly going to miss her, but def-
initely don’t tell her, because she
will then make fun of us... tell us we are late and
ask 15 more questions... We are definitely going
to miss you Quinnyyyyyyyyyy...” — Josh Nordell
“Quinlan is a great kid. She has a fabu-
lous sense of humor, a strong work ethic, and
always has a positive attitude. She is the kind
of person that everyone wants to be around. I
will miss her so much and I’m so excited about
what the future has in store for her. She is truly
a gem.” — Daniel O’Neill
“Quinlan is a ray of sunshine! Every day she
wears a big smile, has a positive attitude, and is
loaded with encouraging comments. She simply
makes the world a better place, no matter where
she is. Impressively, she never gives up. When
dealing with challenges, she increases her hope
and her faith, looks up, and rises up. Her exam-
ple of a positive role model will carry on at SHS,
even after she graduates. This young lady is truly
a gift to all who know her.” — Samra Spear
“Quin leads by example. I have had the
pleasure of being her PE teacher this whole
year and have truly enjoyed her tenacity and
sense of humor.” — Emily Kernen
“I have loved watching Quinlan grow over
these last four years as she was willing to try
new things, move beyond her comfort zone, and
encourage others to join her as she did so. Her
vivacious, kind-hearted, can-do spirit has made
a difference here at SHS! She will be missed.”
— Jami Lyn Weber
