May 2026: Ava Weatherford

Ottawa Township High School (OTHS) Senior Ava Weatherford is the recipient of the OTHS Educational Foundation Student of the Month Leadership Award for May. She was selected for the honor from the Social Science Department of OTHS.

“Ava Weatherford is an exceptional psychology student,” wrote the group of OTHS teachers who nominated her for the award. “She consistently demonstrates a sharp intellect, paired with a genuine kindness and an intuitive understanding of others that sets her apart in the classroom.  Ava approaches challenges with curiosity and determination and has a natural ability to connect psychological concepts to real-world situations.”

“Beyond her academic strengths, her character speaks volumes—she is thoughtful, compassionate, and driven to make a difference. There is no doubt that she will carry these qualities into her future as a criminal lawyer. We wish her nothing but success as she pursues her goals and continues to make a positive impact.”

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.
