Ben Ikerd named January Patriot Bank Student of the Month

Congratulations to Ben Ikerd for being named the Patriot Bank Student of the Month for January! Ben was selected by the Arlington High School Social Studies Department for exemplifying the tenants of the Portrait of an ACS Graduate, which includes Communicate Effectively, Collaborate Intentionally, Cultivate Creativity, Be Resilient and Lead with Empathy. Here's what teachers had to say about Ben:

"Ben is a very mature and disciplined young man. He is a fantastic representative of an Arlington student. He is intelligent, hard-working, and motivated. However, he is also amicable and respectful. He has a refreshing sense of humor and a ready smile."

The Patriot Bank Student of the Month program recognizes one student in the months of September - April. One of those eight students will then be selected for a $1,000 scholarship sponsored by Patriot Bank.
