Student Spotlight
Onahzay Pacheco
This month, the Youth Edu-
cation Department recognized
Onahzay Pacheco for her aca-
demic achievements.
Onahzay is in the eighth
grade and attends Faulcon-
er Chapman School in Sher-
idan. Outside of school, she
plays basketball, volleyball and
does track. After high school,
Onahzay wants to attend West-
ern Oregon University and
eventually become a sports
manager.
She attributes her academic
success to her aunt helping
push her to do well in school and
get good grades and Onahzay
wanting her family to see her
Onahzay Pacheco
be successful. Her advice to
anyone who may struggle in school is to ask for help from friends,
family and others.
We at Youth Education are very proud of Onahzay and recognize
her hard work this school year. We have noticed of her efforts and
great work ethic and the success that she has seen from this. We
know there are great opportunities in store for her. Keep up the great
work, Onahzay!
