Each year the South Hills Area School District Association
(SHASDA) holds an annual conference where students are honored
with the SHASDA Extra Effort Award. SHASDA has long recognized
that there are students who come through our schools who face
obstacles and challenges that not every student faces as they
make their way through high school. Often these students are not
recognized by the conventional honors, so SHASDA established
this annual award to give credit to students who have worked
hard to be successful in their respective schools. The philosophy
for the award has remained the same. This award recognizes
students who have demonstrated significant improvement in
student performance and/or have overcome obstacles in attaining
their present status. The criteria may include improvement in
grades, achievement test scores, attendance and outstanding
improvements in academics as well as the practical and fine arts.
This year Brentwood High School was pleased to honor Julia
Madden and Jayson Lower. Julia will attend CCAC in the fall. Her
plans are to transfer to a college or university and major in either
education or nursing. Julia was a member of the Brentwood
Spartan Marching Band, and was captain of the Visual Ensemble.
Julia was also an active member of the high school musicals.
Jayson will be joining the United States Air Force. Jayson has been
actively involved with our Technology Student Association. Jayson
also assisted in the summer and during the school year assisting
with technology setup and programming. Jayson was a member
of the German Club, Principal’s Advisory and Superintendent’s
Council. We wish Julia and Jayson the best of luck as they move on
from Brentwood High School.

that group as the scholarship winner.

will be majoring in Biology. Mia was a very active student at Brentwood High School
and involved in a number of activities. She held leadership roles as a member of the
