March 2006: Perla Gutierrez

Ottawa Township High School (OTHS) Senior Perla Gutierrez is the recipient of the OTHS Educational Foundation Student of the Month Leadership Award for March.

“Throughout Perla’s years at OTHS, she has consistently proven herself to be a diligent and dedicated presence in the classroom, a positive and respectful peer in the hallways, and an effective and compassionate mentor to freshmen students,” her teachers remarked in their award recommendation.

“Perla works tirelessly to achieve her goals and has demonstrated tremendous personal and academic growth throughout her high school career. Impressively, she balances a job outside of school while actively participating in multiple school activities and manages her responsibilities with maturity and determination. Perla sets high expectations for herself and meets them with perseverance and integrity. There is no doubt that she will continue to become a leader in the community and excel in anything she sets her mind to.”
