Winona Lake — Lakeland Christian Academy is proud to name Kathryn Monsma as this year’s Timothian and Cougar Excellence Award recipient. In lieu of a traditional Valedictorian and Salutatorian, LCA honors graduates with these two awards that take into consideration attitude, leadership, resiliency, interpersonal relationships, and academics.  These awards represent what LCA defines as an excellent student and represents the best qualities of an LCA education, going beyond what a GPA may represent.

Kathryn is the daughter of Chris and Rebecca Monsma and she attends Warsaw Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Kathryn was also named a National Merit Finalist this year – an honor that less than 1% of high school seniors earn. Her high school activities include Student Worship Arts Team, Band, Choir, Theater, and National Honor Society. Outside of school, she participates in her church orchestra, creative ministry team, and worship team. Kathryn plans to attend Taylor University and major in Global Studies.
