The heart of Southeast beats through its vibrant student body and the unwavering dedication of its staff. Our school is more than just a building; it is a thriving community made by the unique contributions of every individual. In a community as connected as ours, leadership and spirit are the threads that hold us together. Southeast thrives because of the passionate individuals who go above and beyond to make our hallways feel like home. Today, we take a moment to celebrate the energy, talent, and commitment that defines our school culture. It is our privilege to recognize those who lead by example and inspire their peers to do the same. Among our many dedicated students and hardworking teachers, two individuals have stood out for their exceptional impact on our campus. We are thrilled to shine the spotlight on Abdallah Alrawahneh and Jessica Cavileer for their remarkable contributions.
Cavileer makes a safe environment where students feel valued and respected. She works hard to understand students’ difficulties and adapts her teaching methods to meet individual needs. She also shows a deep knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject matter to make lessons engaging. One of Cavileers role models is her 4th grade teacher Mrs. Brewer. Brewer taught her multiple life lessons. Cavileer stated, “At that time, I was more of a perfectionist. She would challenge me to leave things instead of always trying to make sure they were “perfect”. While Mrs. Brewer challenged her students, she also provided the support needed for them to reach their full potential just like how Cavileer is now. Having an important role model taught Cavileer that it was okay to be human and now she teaches her students that it’s okay too.
Abdallah Alrawahneh is a senior here at Southeast who is very involved in sports. He participates in football and lacrosse. He is very well known among staff and peers for his kindness and great attitude. The advice that he gives to younger students is to “not take the time for granted.” Your time in high school will fly by, so it is important to cherish every moment. His highlight of this year was beating Newton Falls in his senior year in football. Now, he can be found practicing for lacrosse. His plan after high school is to go to Kent State to become a dentist. We wish him all the best of luck in his future endeavors.
Bringing energy and vibrance to our school is not an easy task. It takes effort from everyone in the building; students, teachers and staff all have to put in the work to bring life to Southeast. Our SHS Spotlight was created to highlight the individuals who stand out and help to bring spirit to our school. You can bring the spirit too by getting involved and making connections with your peers and the staff.
