3 CH S seniors honored
Centerville Noon Optimist recognized three Centerville High School (CHS) students with the Youth Appreciation Award during their virtual meeting on December 8. Seniors Jade Eilers, Abigail Lachman and Emma Schutter were honored for their leadership, service and involvement in high school and community activities.

She has accumulated more than 1,000 hours of community service, has spoken at the United Nations, has her own Ted Talk, and has been in numerous theatre productions.
“With such an impressive resume, Jade remains a humble, kind and passionate young woman,” Miller said. “She has an impressive 4.2 GPA and will receive an honors diploma upon graduation. She has overcome obstacles that have been placed before her and has come out on top. I am so excited to see what Jade does next!”
La ch man was nominated for the award for her academic record and commitment to service.
“Abby’s character truly sets her apart from her peers and speaks to the high level of intellectual and personal maturity that she exudes,” said CHS East Unit Guidance Counselor Samantha Stingley. “Simply put, students at Centerville look to Abby as a role model and a person to emulate while our staff respects her and praises her ability to serve from the front.”
Lachman serves as president of the CHS Key Club and a deacon of her church, Westminster Presbyterian, and works as a server at Bethany Village, which has been particularly challenging as she has been serving one of our community’s most vulnerable populations amid an international pandemic.
