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.
