Our readers have cast their ballots, and we have a winner for The Fayetteville Observer Student of the Week for Oct. 21-25.
Congratulations to Amber Johnson, a Gray’s Creek High School senior who took the top spot with 42% of the vote.
According to her nomination, “Amber is a thoughtful, intelligent and respectful student here at Gray’s Creek High School who seems to never run out of energy! She is a first-semester senior with a 3.83 -weighted GPA. Amber is the president of Diversity Club, G.E.M.S. Club and also Delta G.E.M.S club President. She is a member of our dynamic Student Government Association organization, and this year she volunteered to be a team member on our homecoming Powder Puff quad. That was something to see! Amber is also a Silver and Bronze Girls Scouts recipient, a model for North Carolina Coastal Pines, choir president/section leader in her church and a Cumberland County Ambassador for Alongside.”

Readers will be able to cast their votes for The Fayetteville Observer Student of the Week between 5 a.m. Monday and noon Thursday every week during the traditional school year. We’ll announce each week’s winner at 5 a.m. Friday.
