ENID, Okla. – Autry Technology Center has named three students as the May Students of the Month. These students were selected based on their performance in and out of the classroom as students, role models and future professionals.

Jayden Chadwick is a first-year high school student in the Graphic Arts program at Autry Technology Center. He is also a senior at Enid High School and works part-time at Braum’s.

“Jayden is an exemplary student who displays the qualities that will make him successful in both higher education and the world of work,” said Cheryl Cooksey, Graphic Arts instructor. “He served as our class foreman this semester, and it is not uncommon for him to stay late to make sure that everything is well cleaned, especially when night classes are scheduled in our computer lab. He gently nudges the other students to work hard as well without being bossy or getting discouraged when they don’t easily or readily cooperate. He truly leads with his heart and would never ask those he is leading to do something he would not do. Jayden is very trustworthy, a hard worker, and has strong morals and values.”
