Congratulations
Connor Crowe
Sisters High School 2019-2020
Student of the Year!
Connor Crowe always gives his best.
That was the course he set himself on
when he came to Sisters from Tillamook
in his freshman year: He would work hard
and try to get as much as possible out of
his classes.
“I decided I was going to get better at
that and excel,” he said.
Itʼs worked for him. The friendly, opti-
mistic student has an abiding love for a
school that he feels delivers for its students.
“For being that small a school, we have
so many opportunities,” he said. “Itʼs a
great, quality school.”
Connor is captain of the swim team and
will play golf in spring. Heʼs taking avia-
tion classes and may continue to pursue
that in the program at COCC. He loves
the outdoors and mountain-biking and
snowshoeing with his dad. He also volun-
teers for tech and media work at Westside
Church in Sisters.
The future is uncertain at the moment,
but whatever his path, Connor will con-
tinue to strive to excel.
“Iʼm trying to diversify my interests
right now, so it depends on where those
go,” he said. “But Iʼm definitely going to
college.”
“It has been so wonderful to see
Connorʼs growth as an Outlaw
these last four years. He has been
hard-working and persevering and
thoughtful, both academically and person-
ally. He chooses to take on challenges and
to stay positive. Connor is also great about
taking the initiative when he sees something
that needs done or someone that needs help.
I cannot wait to see how he makes a differ-
ence in the world.” – Jami Lyn Weber
“It is truly amazing to see how Connor has
become such a confident and loving young
man. Connor was nervous when he came to
Sisters, but he overcame any anxieties and
evolved into a man who knows what he wants
and what he can do. He truly is a gift to Sisters
and an illustration of perseverance. Iʼm proud
of him, and itʼs obvious the staff recognized
the same when they nominated him for this
award.” – Joe Hosang
“Connor embodies what it means to be
an Outlaw. He is kind, caring, conscien-
tious, hard-working, and always eager to
help others. It has been a pleasure having
Connor in my classes, I look forward to see-
ing what amazing things he accomplishes in
the future.” – Sheryl Yeager
“I am pleased that we are honoring
Connor. What a wonderful role model he is!
He is a person who has great perseverance.
He is diligent about his assignments and
is always engaged in class. I can count on
Connor to participate in class discussions, ask
thoughtful questions, and to take constructive
criticism when necessary. He takes his learn-
ing seriously and strives to perform at a high
level, making sure that his work reflects his
best effort. Honestly, he is just a good person
who makes others better. He really is a gift to
all who know him.” – Samra Spear
“Connor is a hard-working, respectful,
and appreciative student. He is an abso-
lute joy to work with. He is the kind of kid
we hope to raise our boys to be like. Good
job, Connor! I am so very proud of you.”
– Daniel OʼNeill
“Connor Crowe has played golf for me for
the last 3 years and he is just a beautiful kid
to be around. I donʼt know him outside of the
links, but because he is so conscientious Iʼm
sure he is a great student. The game of golf
beats us all up but Connor continues to look
for the secret!” – Bill Mitchell
“Connorʼs positive, can-do attitude
inspires his peers and adults alike. Connor
is quick with a smile and a kind word, mak-
ing those around him feel welcome. He takes
his education seriously, often leading discus-
sions with high-level questions that heightens
the learning of the entire group. I have really
appreciated getting to know Connor. We are
fortunate he is an Outlaw!” – Rima Givot
“Connor is the type of person who makes
coaching a wonderful experience. Over his
four years on the swim team, he has gone from
a non-swimmer to one of the most confident
and competent swimmers on the team, as well
as a captain of the team. He works hard at every
practice and always goes above and beyond
to help in any way he can. It has been a joy
to watch his confidence grow over the years.
His work ethic will serve him well in every-
thing he does but, most importantly, he is kind
to everyone, all the time. I will definitely miss
him when he graduates!” – Bryn Singleton
