Howard student of the month to study genetics

Heartland is pleased to announce Tate Hattervig, a senior at Howard High School in Howard, SD, as our April student of the month.  The son of Robin and Mirinda Hattervig, Tate is recognized for his dedication to academics and ability to lead by example.

“Tate is an outstanding and dedicated student who is interested in making the world a better place to live,” said Howard Superintendent and High School Principal Mike Cullen.  “He is an academic leader and sets an excellent example for his fellow student body.”

Hattervig is a member of the National Honor Society and is an Eagle Scout.  In his free time, he enjoys reading, snowboarding and playing video games.  After graduation, he plans to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison to pursue a degree in genetics.

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 will present an outstanding student from one of these schools with a recognition certificate and a small token, and advertisements announcing the winning student will air on KJAM radio for one week.  Officials from each participating school nominate students for the award.  This is the fourth year Heartland and KJAM have teamed up to offer this program.
