Maliah Mandal
Sisters High School March 2021 Student of the Month
Student of the Month Maliah Mandal
brings an intense focus on academics to
bear each day at Sisters High School.
She’s highly motivated.
“I’ve really been focused on academ-
ics,” she says. “When I see a row of high
grades, it makes me really happy.”
While she’s planning to go to college
in the sciences — preferably chemistry —
she notes that her advanced-placement
courses in history and English have been
among her favorite classes. She enjoys
academic challenges, and rising to meet
them.
“I just really enjoy the work,” she says.
She also strives to bring an upbeat at-
titude to school each day.
Maliah appreciates the community that
Sisters High School represents.
“The teachers and students are really
supportive of each other,” she says. “It’s a
really fun atmosphere to be in.”
“I am thrilled that Maliah has been cho-
sen for this honor — she is so deserving! I
had the pleasure of having Maliah in my
forensics class this year. Her work is so well
done! I appreciate her insights, her dedi-
cation to the topic, and the great attitude
with which she approaches all of the work.
Thank you, Maliah, for being the great stu-
dent that you are!”
— Kristy Rawls

honesty, kindness, and drive. She is an
authentic and driven person that truly
understands the signifi cance of hard
work and perseverance.”

“Maliah Mandal is so deserving of this
award. The entire time that she has been
at Sisters High School she has been an
example of what it means to be other-
centered and to have the true heart of an
Outlaw. Not only is she incredibly bright
and academically gifted, but she has an
inner light that shines on everyone around
her. Maliah is unfailingly kind and gen-
erous, with both her words and her time.
She goes out of her way to reach out and
make everyone feel they are important and
have a voice. I love having Maliah in my
classes and I will miss her incredibly when
she graduates. I count myself fortunate to
have gotten to spend time with Maliah.
Congratulations!”
