Shelby Larson
Sisters High School October 2020 Student of the Month
Leadership is more critical now than ever — and
Shelby Larson has stepped up to lead her fellow stu-
dents as student body president.
In that role, she helped organize student-ma-
terials pick up for distance learning and the high
school’s Hoco-ween (Homecoming/Halloween)
celebrations.
Larson feels called to help when and where she
can, “trying to make the most of what has been a
less-than-ideal senior year for me and the rest of the
student body. There are definitely a lot of students
hurting right now.”
Shelby believes it is critical to help maintain safe
social connections among her peers and that has
been a focus through the year so far. She also con-
tinues to participate as she can in track, where she
is a standout athlete. She is grateful for the oppor-
tunities afforded her and other students at Sisters
High School.
She notes that the AV Club is “truly gift in my life,”
providing her with new skills and new friends.
“I know that if I had gone to a different school, I
never would have had that,” she said.
Shelby has applied for early decision at George
Fox University, where she plans to study psychology
with an eye toward becoming a school counselor.
She also plans to compete in pole vault, her main
track event.
“Shelby is one of those people that just bright-
ens your day to be around her. She has the gift of
staying positive, being happy, and wanting to help.
Additionally, she has a servant heart. Shelby loves
to be involved and create activities to enhance our
environment. This year she’s taken an active part
in the painting of senior parking spots, freshman
orientation, materials dropoff and pickup, and the
halloween parade, pretty much anything we’re do-
ing right now, Shelby is helping. She’s a star who
cares about our school, the people in it and she’s
willing to sacrifi ce her time to make it better. Thank
you so much, Shelby.”

“Shelby Larson lights up the world around her
with her contagious smile, kind words, and heartfelt
encouragement. Shelby makes the world a better
place with her actions of service, kindness, and ded-
ication. It has been such a pleasure to know Shelby
through her time at Sisters High School, and I wish
her the best as she continues her adventure of life.
Congratulations Shelby! I am so grateful for you!”

“Shelby is such a terrifi c student that truly
makes SHS a better place. She is always kind and
works so hard. She is organized and so willing to
help anyone at any time. This COVID time is so dif-
fi cult, but she still fi nds ways to help others.”
— Rand Runco
“I haven’t had Shelby in class, but have certainly
benefi ted from her presence at SHS. Throughout her
high school career, she has been visible and active
within our school. It is clear that she loves people
and that she loves to selfl essly serve. On any giv-
en day, she can be seen helping others and simply
making an extra effort to brighten someone’s day.
She has a contagious smile and a true zest for life.
Shelby makes people better, just by naturally being
who she is. What a gem!”

and determination. I love how she cares about get-
ting everyone involved, about hearing from all per-
spectives, and making her learning really matter.
She is hardworking and bighearted. I am grateful for
the difference she has made at Sisters High School.”
