Mason High School senior Kevin Morrissey was recognized as The Kiwanis Club of Mason's November Student of the Month. Morrissey was nominated by MHS School Counselor Megan Korengel and MHS Math Teacher Greg Roach.
"Kevin Morrissey is one of the kindest, most sincere young men that I have come into contact with here at Mason. He is caring and considerate towards others. He takes what he does as a SIB incredibly seriously, and he works diligently to develop relationships with his fellow classmates," shared Korengel.
"Kevin is the best student aide I have ever had. He is passionate about basically everything, but is able to connect with my ESL math class. He truly cares about all people, and he has the best attitude. He has a gift with languages other than English that allow him to connect to a lot of the kids in my class," explained Roach.
"He will definitely be an outstanding citizen and for our future I hope he does become an educator. I know though, he will be a leader in whatever field he chooses."
Morrissey is involved in SIBS Leadership at MHS, is a Comet Skippers Team Captain, and also loves learning about other cultures and languages. Morrissey will be attending either Xavier University or the Ohio State University, and wants to teach seventh grade Spanish or ESL.
On November 16, the Kiwanis Club presented Morrissey with $50 and a certificate commemorating his achievement. Morissey's parents, Brian and Heidi, assistant principal Dion Reyes, superintendent Dr. Gail Kist-Kline, and nominators Korengel and Roach joined the Kiwanians in recognizing Kevin's accomplishments. The Mason Kiwanis Club meets weekly at noon at the Houston Restaurant in Mason.
