DeKalb County High School has begun a monthly observance to recognize a teacher, student, and parent or guardian of the month and the first recipients were honored Friday morning.

Each received a certificate from the school and a gift card for a meal from Kilgore’s restaurant. A different restaurant will be offering a meal gift card to each month’s honorees.

DCHS 9th grade English teacher Sonja House was selected as Teacher of the Month while Senior Ellie Webb is Student of the Month, voted on by the teachers, faculty, and staff.

“I am shocked. I am blown away and beyond humbled and appreciative,” said House, who has been doing double duty recently teaching her classes and others in the absence of staff members who teach the same subjects.

“I am grateful for being student of the month. I want to thank all the teachers who nominated me. I really appreciate it and am thankful for that,” said Webb.

Ellie said she enjoys helping out with special education students in the Comprehensive Development Class. She is also on the Tennis team and a member of the HOSA, Student Government, Science, Literature, Beta, and FBLA clubs among others.

Webb is the daughter of C.D. and Cindy Webb.

Joann Meece was chosen as the guardian of the month. She is the grandmother of DCHS Junior Arianna Barnwell. As part of the nomination process for this honor, each student must submit an essay on why their parent or guardian deserves the recognition and Barnwell prepared and submitted the winning essay this month in tribute to her grandmother Meece.

“I am glad my granny won. I was hoping she would win. I put a lot of thought and effort into writing this essay and I even cried a little when I wrote it. I am really thankful she is my granny and that she gets to be here with me for this,” said Barnwell.

Seniors Isaac Knowles and Haidyn Hale have been named Mr. and Miss DeKalb County High School for 2021-22.

Knowles is the son of Jared and Karen Knowles and Hale is the daughter of Chad Hale and Melissa Odom.

“This is a very large honor considering our teachers thought enough of us to select us to be part of the applicants for it and it means even more that our student body thought enough of us to choose us for this great honor,” said Knowles.

“Its very exciting to know our teachers nominated us and our peers voted for us. It’s a great honor to be chosen”, said Hale.

Both Knowles and Hale have excelled in high school both inside and outside the classroom.

“I have played football and baseball over the last four years and now for my senior year I have actually made the basketball team so I’ll be playing basketball this year and become a three sport athlete for my last year here,” said Knowles.

“I have cheered the last four years. My freshman year I cheered for basketball and for the past three years I have cheered for football,” said Hale.

In the classroom, Knowles and Hale take honors and dual enrollment classes to obtain college credit through online studies with Motlow State Community College and both are straight A students and members of the prestigious 21 + Club.

Knowles has been involved with the FFA and FBLA clubs while Hale is a member of the Beta, FBLA, Climate Crew and other clubs.

Hale said she wants to go on to college after high school and become a dental hygienist while Knowles has plans to hopefully play football on the collegiate level and obtain a Bachelor’s Degree to pursue a career in agronomy.
