Alexis Drew named Student of the Month

MHS senior leader earns award from Heartland and KJAM Radio

Madison High School (MHS) senior Alexis Drew has been named Student of the Month by Heartland and KJAM Radio. She is recognized for her outstanding character and leadership skills.

“Alexis is a hardworking student leader who always gives her best effort,” said MHS Principal Adam Shaw. “She truly cares about others and finds ways to make everyone feel welcome at our school. We look forward to watching her grow personally and academically in the years to come.”

Drew is an MHS Student Ambassador and serves as vice president of the senior class. She is also active in student council and is president of National Honor Society.

A talented saxophonist, Drew participates in concert, marching and jazz bands. She also keeps stats for the volleyball team and was named Homecoming Queen in 2020.

Outside of school, Drew is involved in church camp Teens Encounter Christ and the youth group at Living Hope Wesleyan Church. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends.

Alexis is the daughter of Dave and Tracey Drew of Madison. After high school she plans to attend South Dakota State University and pursue a degree in elementary education with an endorsement in special education.

The “Student of the Month” is awarded through a partnership of Heartland and KJAM Radio in Madison and recognizes exceptional students in one of five area school districts. Heartland provides wholesale power to the cities of Arlington, Colman, Howard, Madison and Volga, all of which are in the KJAM listening area.

Each month of the school year, Heartland presents an outstanding student from one of these schools with a recognition certificate and small token, and advertisements announcing the winning student air on KJAM Radio. Officials from each participating school nominate students for the award.

This is the tenth year Heartland and KJAM have teamed up to offer this program.
