CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Isabella Flournoy, a senior at East High, was selected as Laramie County School District 1’s Student of the Week for the week of May 6.
Flournoy was nominated by the selection committee for her outstanding character and academic achievement. She is an IB certificate candidate with a 3.321 grade point average. Flournoy plans on attending Colorado Mesa University in the fall with a goal of becoming an attorney.
According to members of the selection committee, she has seen success academically due, in part, to her self-advocacy and time management skills.

She contributes to her school and community through participation in a variety of extracurricular activities.

She volunteers at and helps coach the students attending volleyball camps and is an involved member of the Laramie Rodeo Club.
Flournoy selected English teacher Matthew Prevedel as her favorite teacher because he creates a welcoming environment that allows all students to connect to the subject and each other.
