South Harrison High School was proud to recognize three outstanding students as winners of the Ruth Hessemyer Argumentative Research and Writing Competition! 🌟✍️

“Ruth Hessemyer was more than just an English teacher – she was someone who was truly interested in developing her students as ‘people.’ She inspired us with Shakespeare, with other plays and with written communication. Students who experienced Ruth came away with an appreciation for her passion for developing her students and teaching.”
– Charlie Pettijohn, SH Class of 1970

This award highlights students who go above and beyond in their ability to think critically, research deeply, and communicate effectively through writing. 📚💡
Congratulations to this year’s winners:
🥇 Lexi Hunter
🥈 Joel McCall
🥉 Abby Owens
