Marilyn Cannon - Math Sterling Scholar
Marilyn Cannon is the daughter of Fred and Tammy Cannon.
Marilyn exhibits many traits that set her apart from other students. She always comes to class ready to learn and be challenged mentally. She has a great attitude that is infectious to all those around her, and her incredible work ethic also rubs off on her peers. Her desire to learn new things, especially in mathematics, is what I would say separates her from so many other great math students. Marilyn is never satisfied with “The How” of a concept, but rather always wants to know “The Why.” It is this desire that leads her to discover new ideas on her own and challenge any idea that she cannot immediately internalize, and her drive to achieve her goals is peerless.
Marilyn is also a wonderful person. She participates in so many extra-curricular activities, yet still finds time to excel in all of her school work. She is wonderful to be around, is a great friend, and has a genuine concern for all those around her.
Damon J. Loll - World Languages Sterling Scholar
Damon J. Loll is the son of Damon M. and Christine Loll.
Damon has shown great excitement and enthusiasm for learning German. His excitement earned Damon the world language student of the month. His drive over the past 2 years has not diminished, it’s just gotten stronger. The summer between his junior and senior years Damon traveled with other students to Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France. He was able to experience the culture first hand and see the different relationships of European countries and gain a global perspective. He was helpful and outgoing and respectful to the tour guide and other students from around the country. His ability to reach out to others was a big help on the tour.
A lot of students have an innate fear of speaking a foreign language because of the fear of making a mistake or of looking foolish. His determination and willingness for learning will take him far in his life endeavors.
Damon’s junior year he served as German Club Vice President and his senior year is serving as German Club President.
Emily Harames - Social Science Sterling Scholar
Emily Harames, daughter of Kim Harames and Jayson Harames, has managed to maintain a 4.0 GPA in spite of some rather severe health difficulties.

This year, she will complete two more sections of AP classes and two concurrent enrollment classes. Impressively, she scored in the 98th percentile on the ACT test.
She is an officer in the National Honor Society, serving as that organization’s parliamentarian. She is also an officer in the FBLA and sings with the Madrigals, Box Elder High’s most advanced choir.
Emily has a natural ability to make those around her feel important and needed. This makes her a natural leader. She also has a refreshing sense of humility and an irrepressible spirit of kindness. The Social Science department chose her because of her excellent academics, her exceptional service record, her spectacular leadership capacity, and her caring attitude.
