Paige Gehrig Shares Values of Kindness and Hard Work at Althoff Catholic High School

BELLEVILLE - Paige Gehrig cares about being kind.

For her hard work, Paige Gehrig is a Student of the Month for Althoff Catholic High School.

Gehrig, a senior, has played volleyball since her freshman year. She also joined the yearbook team early on in her high school career.

She loves putting her photography skills, which she started developing in eighth grade, to good use to document life around her and at her school. She spends a lot of time photographing sporting events for the yearbook.

Gehrig is an active member of the National Honor Society, which requires high grades and many hours of community service. She has a part-time job, and she regularly babysits and housesits for families around town.

In her free time, Gehrig enjoys attending concerts and hanging out with her family and friends. She loves summertime and being outside as much as possible.

Looking ahead, Gehrig has big plans for the future and a word of advice to all.

“After high school, I plan to pursue a career in the medical field and am currently evaluating college acceptances to determine the best fit for my long-term goals,” she shared. “Something I’d like people to remember is that being kind takes so little time. Just a small effort to make one person’s day a little brighter can have a lasting impact.”

Congratulations to Paige for this recognition from Althoff Catholic High School!
