STERLING — Cody McBride of Dixon, a senior at Newman Central Catholic High School, has been recognized as a student of the month.

What class do you find really engaging and why?: I find AP Statistics engaging because it’s sort of fun to learn about probability and chance when it comes to different aspects of life. Connie Royer is the teacher, and it’s fun to do her activities, especially when there is candy or any food involved.

What are your career and post-graduation plans? What school(s) or other instruction, travel or endeavors do you have planned?: I am currently undecided but I plan to go to college for kinesiology or something else to do with the body and how it works. My other plan is to pursue something that has to do with sports or management of sports.

What are your two favorite extracurricular, volunteer or community activities you participate in?: My two favorite extracurricular activities are track and field and math team.

Please share a moment, group event or activity at school that was meaningful or memorable.: One moment I found memorable was learning things an athletic trainer might have to do, such as tape an ankle or even sew a stitch onto someone. We also took a day to practice all these things on each other or on fake skin.

What is your hope for the future?: My hope is to graduate high school and college and end up with a sustaining job to start a family.
