Watercare Industrial Services Student Achievement Highlight

Watercare Industrial Services Student Achievement Highlight

        Luke Block

Who’s that crazy, fun-loving, one-of-a-kind guy?  Why, that’s WHS Senior, Luke Block, the one and only!  A young man born to the stage, both as a singer and as an actor, Luke loves to push the limits and live life to its fullest.  A guy who loves the smell of the ocean, the taste of cinnamon and has traveled the world (at least five continents), this remarkable young man never fails to bring a smile to another’s face.  Some day we assume that Luke will have traveled to all seven continents and will probably have written an amusing little book outlining his crazy antics.  Luke is an amazing and talented young man who cares deeply about others and has a spirit that will make you smile in spite of yourself.

        Kim Yano

A creative spirit with natural leadership qualities WHS Senior, Kim Yano is described as a “go-to” student.  Kim has taken on extra work to help in yearbook.  Although this activity was new to her this year, she ended up being one of the strongest staff members, who took on the position of copy editor.  Musically, Kim works hard and exhibits great talent as a percussionist.  There, too, Kim’s leadership abilities have played an important role.  This fine young woman will be missed at WHS and will surely continue to excel in life.

“More than just a blonde” WHS Senior, Sydney Loveland is dedicated to all that she does, whether it is her passion for education or her love of sports.  Sydney has participated in soccer, basketball, track, gymnastics, dance and softball.  Yet, ask her what her favorite smell is and Sydney will say the smell of new-mown grass, “Because it reminds me of how the field smells during summer softball.” Syd is passionate about life, and to know her is to really understand the meaning of friendship.  Having overcome injuries and losses to become an outstanding young woman of whom we all can be proud, Sydney knows how to prevail through adversity and is sure to be a winner throughout her life.

WHS Senior Colton Sullivan is soft spoken, but don’t let that fool you.  This young man is a leader and role model both in the classroom and on the playing field.  A shining academic star, Colton strives to improve his learning and performance continuously in all his classes.  He also excels athletically and has served as team captain in both football and soccer.  As a STAR mentor, Colton is always willing to tutor other students and help out with activities.  He maintains a kind, friendly, respectful demeanor towards both students and staff and thus is a welcome presence wherever he goes.  Colton’s strong work ethic and relentless pursuit of self-
