Buckeye Career Center has named its January students of the month.

Two high school students were selected for demonstrating the month’s core value of critical thinking. An adult education student also was honored.

Robin Stevens was selected as a high school student of the month. Stevens is a senior in Electrical Systems Technology and Commercial Truck Technology. He attends Buckeye Career Center from New Philadelphia, participates in SkillsUSA and works at Pit Stop Performance in New Philadelphia.

Stevens was nominated by electrical instructor Tim Septer.

“Robin has distinguished himself through the remarkable ability to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical application. He approaches every assignment as a complex puzzle requiring systemic analysis,” Septer said.

After graduation, Stevens plans to attend Universal Technical Institute in North Carolina and enroll in the Auto Tech and NASCAR program. He is the son of Rob and Christina Stevens.

Bailey Winkhart, a Teaching Professions senior, also was selected as a high school student of the month. Winkhart attends Buckeye Career Center from Tusky Valley.

She works at the New Philadelphia Sheetz and is a member of the Church of the Nazarene in Mineral City.

Winkhart was nominated by instructor Melissa Long.

“Bailey is a natural teacher and leader. Bailey is a direct communicator, which leads to quick resolution of any issues that arise with others. She goes above and beyond in the classroom,” Long said.

After graduation, Winkhart plans to attend Kent State University and major in middle childhood education with concentrations in math and social studies. She is the daughter of Elizabeth Wilson and Christopher Winkhart.

Crimzen Christmas was named adult education student of the month. Christmas is enrolled in the Esthetics program. She lives in Coshocton and is a graduate of Newcomerstown High School.
