Academy Dance Student of the Quarter

Each quarter a student enrolled in Academy dance classes at West Potomac High School is awarded "Student of the Quarter." Students are highlighted for many reasons, including their work ethic, character, dedication, academic curiosity, resilience and passion for the career field.

Hayfield student Amanda Purrington was chosen as the 2nd quarter recipient for Hip Hop Dance! Ms. Betzel writes “Amanda is a wonderful performer that shows love and interest in dance and the performing arts with her dedication to the class and her assignments.  She is one of the most remarkable student-communicators I have experienced.  She is always prepared and contributing to every lesson in class as well as taking on leadership roles during group work in class.”
