WCSD NOVEMBER NOMINEE

Warren Area High School would like to nominate Noel Alexander for the C.L.A.S.S. Act Emerging Leader for IU5. Noel exemplifies the C.L.A.S.S. characteristics both inside the school community and outside in the greater Warren community.
Noel has been an excellent academic student at WAHS, taking a challenging courseload while being involved in numerous extracurricular activities. Noel has maintained an excellent GPA while taking AP and Honors level courses and being an officer for multiple organizations. Noel is an Merit-Honor level student with an excellent GPA, high class rank, and scored a 5 on multiple AP Exams last year. Noel was awarded with the College Board: National Rural and Small-Town Recognition Award and as an AP Scholar with Honors Award recipient. After high school, Noel plans on majoring in Biochemistry to prepare for a career in the medical field, with an interest in Endocrinology.
In the building Noel serves as President of the Key Club (all four years), the Dragons Lens (student media organization), and Academic Quiz Bowl. In addition to these groups, Noel is also active with the Student Council all four year (Media Coordinator 11/12), Prom Committee, Battle of the Books, National Honor Society, and Spanish Club. Noel is well respected in the building by both peers and adults and is a model student to have in the building. Noel has worked as a Guidance Office worker, Library Aid, and Bio lab assistant in the building, giving her time in the building to assist teachers and the building as a whole. This fall, Noel was chosen by her peers as the 2024 Warren Area High School Homecoming Queen, a testament to her personal character and standing amongst her peers in the building.
In addition to school sponsored activities, Noel has been involved in a number of organizations outside of school. She has participated with Molly Dies Dance Express, a competitive and very time demanding dance organization, and is the current captain of her team. She has worked for the past four years plus as a Teacher’s Assistant with Molly Dies Dance with the youth dancers. Noel is the Supervisor for the After School Program at St. Joseph's Catholic School and has held this position for the past three years and is the Literacy Teacher for ages 3-7 at St. Joseph's.
Noel is an excellent representative for Warren Area High School, the city of Warren, and Warren County as a whole, and I hope that you will consider Noel for the C.L.A.S.S. Act Emerging Leader program.
