CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Camella Wedemeyer, a senior at South High School, was selected as Laramie County School District 1’s Student of the Week for the week of Sept. 16.
Wedemeyer was selected by the committee for her display of school values and academic performance. She maintains high academic standing while actively participating in multiple advanced-placement and concurrent-enrollment courses. She has a passion for science, music, tennis and soccer.
Wedemeyer is a member of the wildlife club and collaborates closely with club sponsor Makala Knox to bring ideas to the group. Her commitment extends beyond the classroom, as she assists her peers with understanding material and stays after class to help clean lab supplies. She hopes to become a wildlife biologist.
In addition to her academic and extracurricular achievements, Wedemeyer is an active student athlete, participating in both tennis and soccer. Her contributions to her teams and her school community exemplify South’s core values of honor, enthusiasm, responsibility and determination.
Wedemeyer selected Makala Knox as her favorite teacher because she makes learning fun, engaging and exciting. In describing Wedemeyer, Knox says that “she strives to do the best she can in everything she does.”
