Heartland and KJAM Radio have teamed up to offer an exceptional student in one of five area school districts the designation of “Student of the Month.” Heartland named Stephen Steinmetz, a junior at Howard High School, as the January student of the month.
Stephen Steinmetz accepts a Student of the Month certificate from Heartland Communications Manager Ann Hyland.
According to Howard High School Principal Mike Cullen, Stephen provides student leadership by mentoring younger students and helping them with homework and organizational skills.
Stephen is the son of John and Kristen Steinmetz. He is active in football and works at Children’s Care Corner in Howard. He plans to attend Southeast Technical Institute in Sioux Falls after high school to study mechanics.
Heartland provides wholesale power to the cities of Howard, Colman, Arlington, Volga, and Madison, all of which are in the KJAM listening area. Each month of the school year, Heartland will recognize an outstanding student from one of these schools. The student will be presented a recognition certificate and a small token from Heartland. Advertisements announcing the winning student will air on KJAM the last week of each month. Officials from each participating school nominate students for the award.
