February 2026: Luke Passwater

Ottawa Township High School (OTHS) Senior Luke Passwater is the recipient of the OTHS Educational Foundation Student of the Month Leadership Award for February. He was selected for the honor from the Foreign Language & Fine Arts Department of OTHS.

“Luke consistently sets the bar high, standing out for his exceptional talent, dedication, and creativity,” Passwater’s art teachers commented in their recommendations for his recognition. “Luke’s strong work ethic is evident in every project. He approaches each assignment with care, persistence, and a genuine commitment to craftsmanship. Skilled across multiple mediums, Luke demonstrates both technical proficiency and a unique artistic voice, making him a well-rounded and versatile artist. Whether experimenting with new techniques or refining familiar ones, he brings passion, discipline, and imagination to his work, earning admiration from both peers and teachers. It has been a pleasure to watch Luke grow as an artist and as a student. He has grown into a confidence that is not always evident in a high school student.

The OTHS Art Department is excited to hear about Luke’s future successes and adventures. We have no doubt that he will be successful.”

All recipients honored as a Student of the Month receive a $250 award from the OTHS Educational Foundation and are granted use of a preferred parking space at OTHS among other benefits.
