From Our Last Meeting - October 13th, 2025
OHS Seniors Awarded the Lyle Neeb Perseverance Award

Oconomowoc students were recognized for their perseverance and resourcefulness in their personal and academic ventures at Oconomowoc Rotary’s noon meeting on the Shorehaven campus Oct. 13. OHS seniors Ruth Johnson, Alesha Famularo and Addyson Mason were commended for overcoming challenges and pursuing their goals. School staff Lauren Black, Brianne McGuire and Susan Verhagen cited “determination, bravery and strength” as some of the students’ strongest suits. Principal Jason Curtis described the students as “incredibly powerful women…who never gave up on themselves.” “People believed in you, and the community invested in you.” Johnson will pursue a degree in nursing and nutrition, Famularo will pursue a degree from UW-Milwaukee or MATC in radiology, and Mason will attend UW-Oshkosh seeking a physician’s assistant degree. Rotary continues to dedicate funds toward continuing education for students recommended by OHS staff.
