Rebecca Hartman, a Hancock Place High School incoming senior for the Class of 2017, recently was named Student of the Month by the Mehlville Optimist Club. She is a well-rounded student who participates in drama, musicals, Renaissance, cross country, student government and the A+ Schools mentoring program, while maintaining a 4.5 grade-point average. According to Principal Shelly Vogler, ‘She was actually on my radar five years ago to be an Optimist Student of the Month when I first met Rebecca. I have enjoyed seeing her mature into an outstanding individual with a future full of endless opportunities.’ Rebecca is pictured with John Roland, Optimist Club Student of the Month chairman.
