Student of the Month serves as role model and leader

Howard Senior Anna Schwader earns award from Heartland Power and KJAM Radio

Howard High School senior Anna Schwader excels in academics as well as a variety of clubs and activities. She has held many leadership roles in high school including student council vice president, National Honor Society vice president, and FFA chapter president.

“Anna is an excellent student and role model for her peers,” said administrators of Howard High School. “She exemplifies wonderful characteristics as a student and as a citizen of the community.”

For her accomplishments, Schwader has been named Heartland and KJAM Radio’s May Student of the Month. The daughter of Max and Julie Schwader, she is recognized as an outstanding student leader and hard worker.

Schwader’s work in the classroom has her ranked second in her class and she has already completed six dual credit courses. Outside the classroom, Schwader is part of the Lutheran Youth Organization, MadMusic Summer Exploration, ALA Girls State delegate, and many other activities.

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 seventh year Heartland and KJAM have teamed up to offer this program.
