Students are back for their spring semester, and area schools have nominated three students for Student of the Week!
Student of the Week honors the hard work that high school students across the River Region put into their studies, their schools and their greater community every day, and it aims to recognize as many awesome high schoolers as possible. Every public and private high school in the outer Montgomery area is eligible to nominate one student a week who exemplifies success in academics and community involvement.
Nominees are revealed each Monday, and readers can vote for free until 1 p.m. each Thursday. The winner is revealed each Friday. There have been hundreds of thousands of votes for Student of the Week since the beginning of the semester.
Here are this week’s nominees:
Kaden Womack, Success Unlimited Academy: Kaden is a senior, who exemplifies excellence both on and off the stage. A well-rounded student, Kaden is actively involved in the arts and athletics, but it is his passion for the performing arts that truly sets him apart.
This fall, Kaden competed at the prestigious Walter Trumbauer High School Theatre Festival, where he earned a superior rating of 42/50 at the district level. His exceptional performance advanced him to the state competition, where he achieved first place in his category.
Audiences may also recognize Kaden from his unforgettable portrayal of Rooster Hannigan in SUA’s recent production of Annie Jr..

Kaden’s dynamic performance and behind-the-scenes contributions left a lasting impression on all who attended.
