Nayessa Walsh, an eighth grade student at Carey Junior High, was selected as Laramie County School District 1’s Student of the Week for the week of Nov. 2. 

Walsh was selected for her leadership, academic performance and willingness to help others. She maintains a 4.0 GPA, has nearly perfect attendance, and is never tardy to class.

She is known for going above and beyond in her academics and often helps classmates and teachers. Her dedication and support for others make Carey a better place to learn.

“Her commitment to excellence extends beyond the classroom, into all that she does,” said Carey Principal Matt Schlaegel.

Walsh participates in volleyball, basketball and track at Carey. Outside of school, she competes on a traveling volleyball team and two traveling soccer teams.

Walsh selected Todd Jonas as her favorite teacher because he makes learning fun and interactive.

“He is very kind, patient, advocates for all students, and never judges anyone,” Walsh said.
