Jennifer Shepherd with Rachel Dempsey

In addition to recognition at contests, Rachel Dempsey, senior on the speech team, was awarded the first annual Jennifer K. Shepherd Mental Attitude Award.  

This award will be given to a deserving senior each year, along with a $500 scholarship to a college of their choosing. Jennifer K Shepherd was with Warsaw Community Schools for 20 years previously as a teacher and an administrator. 

In 2017, Jennifer was diagnosed with ALS.  Speech Coach Kathryn Anders added, "Throughout it all, Jennifer has maintained a positive mental attitude and still continues to contribute to the happiness of others and offer encouragement." 

Warsaw Community Schools would like to thank Jennifer for this generous gift.
