Schaumburg High School's Senior of the Month

September | October | November | December | January | February | March | April | May

Senior of the month is an honor that is bestowed on selected seniors who have demonstrated excellence in academics, extracurricular activities/athletics and service.  A selection committee that is comprised of 6 faculty members and the Activity Director meet once each semester to determine the nominees.  The student presents a biography and the nominating teacher composes a letter that exemplifies the students' accomplishments, contributions and attributes.  The letter and the student's photo is posted outside the attendance office in the main hallway showcase, as well as being featured on this page throughout the month that they are selected to represent.

VISHAL MEHTA

Vishal is a standout. He has a work ethic uncharacteristic of today’s youth. Vishal is highly motivated and extremely hard working. His commitment to learn both in and out of the classroom is to be applauded.  Much of his success can be attributed to his maturity in managing time, prioritizing tasks, as well as intellectual curiosity.

Vishal is an enthusiastic student who understands that learning can and should be fun. He is a diligent worker and a great role model in the classroom.  He has a knack for creating a learning environment that is extremely productive.  Although he wants to get to the answer, he also wants to enjoy the time it takes.  He values the opinions of his teachers and peers, and works collectively to achieve excellent results.  With his witty personality, and charisma, Vishal not only fits into any group, he makes it better.

Vishal is a talented and well-rounded young man.  In addition to excelling in the classroom, Vishal has been committed to the SHS Debate Team, Student to Student, and SHO.  For the past three years, Vishal Mehta has actively participated with the Debate Team to attain regional, State, and National acclaim. 

He has consistently won 1st place at numerous tournaments, presided over many important topics, and coached our novices to victory as the Captain this year. Distinctively, he earned one of two Congressional Debate seats at the National Debate Tournament for 2008 and the National Forensic League (honor society of Speech and Debate students) declared him their Student of the Year. Outside of his competition, you will find him at every practice waxing political over current events, impromptu speaking, and the future of the Debate Team. 

As an active and instrumental member of the Student to Student organization Vishal has played an integral part in both the planning and visiting of elementary schools in the community.  While serving as a mentor in the community, Vishal represents SHS well as he interacts with elementary students.  He is passionate and extremely personable.  He is truly caring and committed to the youth of the community. He looks to better their future. 

    We at Schaumburg High School have witnessed Vishal’s ability to make a difference.  Next fall, Vishal plans to attend either the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he plans to study Aviation/Law.   He will undoubtedly make significant contributions to both the learning community and his respective field of study.

Congratulations to VISHAL MEHTA
