Student of the Month, it's something many students at Bowie High School strive for and this month the dream became a reality for Michael Huerta. This month Huerta stood out to teachers and fellow students alike with his good grades and positive attitude.

Studying hard and going out of his way to be kind all month, Huerta has certainly earned his title for this April. this is the first time that Huerta has earned this award this year but he also earned the award in his freshmen year of 2013. 

"We're all really proud of Michael." Huerta's brother, Adam Huerta told us, "He works really hard at home and at school, he really deserves this award."

Huerta lives at him with his mother, father, and three brothers. "I always try to set a good example for my younger brothers," Huerta said when we asked, "And I try my hardest to make my mom, dad, and older brother proud."

"Michael was an obvious choice." Huerta's Chemistry teacher, Josh Powel told us, "He works tremendously hard at everything and he always comes to class with a good attitude. It's no surprise that he has been chose for this award twice."

Most of Huetra's peers and teachers say the same. “He is outstanding in everything he does, including his extracurricular band activities,” Band director Alex Hesako says, “Not many people can keep up with grades as astounding as his alongside the rigorous practice schedule he has to keep up with for band.”

“I use flashcards to remember important information and make sure to highlight important parts of my notes.” Huerta said when we asked him how he studies, “I make sure to ask the teacher what part of the information I need to be focusing on so I make sure I get it down.”
