Today, the Rotary Club of Goodyear Pebblecreek had an inspiring presentation by David Zimmer on the workings of Rotary International. We were all reminded of the many tears of commitment that Rotary International has in providing service in every corner of the world. From Polio Irradiation to clean water projects to providing solar lighting in Africa, Rotary is the hands and hearts of many of those projects. It is through our service to the international communities that Rotary provides a "heavy lift" with peacekeeping through acts of service. Thank you, David, for that inspiring reminder of the extent of our work and service.

"Lola is such a team player and leader in Theatre. She is treasurer of Drama Club/Thespians and a lead (Regina George) in Mean Girls. She is always the first person to help out another and bring excitement and energy to class and rehearsals. Not only is she such a lovely person, but also extremely talented. This year she has gotten a Superior Rating at the Thespy competition that qualifies her for the national competition for both her solo event and duet event. She brings passion to everything she does." Ms. Carrie Gabbert





I am thrilled to recommend Gianna Craycroft for CTE Student of the Month for Leadership. As Vice President of FBLA, she exemplifies dedication, initiative, and a strong commitment to professional growth. Her passion for graphic design is evident not only in her coursework but also in her real-world experience—she currently works as a graphic design intern and takes on freelance projects in her free time. Her ability to balance leadership responsibilities with hands-on industry experience showcases her drive and readiness to excel in the field after high school. Gianna is a true leader who inspires her peers and represents the values of CTE with excellence.


Desert Edge High School selects 12th grader Autumn Shanahan to receive the Outstanding Achievement Award in Science.
Autumn was nominated by her Science teacher Mr. Carroll:
I would like to nominate Autumn Shanahan. She has excelled in all science classes that she has taken including AP. What makes her even more special is her passion for science and sustainability. She has a wealth of information that she has learned in and outside of school. During class, she has great insight and wonderful questions. I have learned some things by listening to her answers. One of her areas of interest is in Agricultural Science. She has been involved in Agricultural Sciences since her freshman year, been involved in FFA and has competed in the state competitions. She has taken on projects outside the classroom such as her black soldier fly larvae feeding system. This is where food scraps that would normally be thrown away can be given to black soldier fly larvae and then those larvae can be fed to chicken hens. This will turn waste into food for humans. Autumn is a model student and a human being in general. Having her here at DE has been great for our school and everyone around her.




our community through Rotary.












As President of the Art Club, Delissia leads with thoughtfulness, creating an inclusive space for students and building connections with the larger community. She played a vital role in the DE Colors Concert, coordinating the art section and collaborating with other groups to make the event a success. Her volunteerism also includes impactful initiatives beyond campus, such as participating in Feed My Starving Children and teaching ceramics at Pebble Creek Community. Delissia’s character is best exemplified by her self-funded pumpkin-carving activity for our medically fragile students, which showed her generosity and care for those around her. She is a standout leader who embodies the spirit of service and compassion, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for any opportunity that lets her strengths shine.
