L to R: Principal Sawchuk, Devin Neal, Mrs. Sheraw, Mrs. Dyer.

Columbia High School senior Devin Neal received the Principal’s Award for Leadership from Principal John Sawchuk on Thursday. Neal was integral to the school’s recent food pantry collection that resulted in 50 cases of nonperishable items being donated ahead of Thanksgiving.

“Devin really stepped up,” Mr. Sawchuk said. “I’m proud of him and the rest of our students who make community service a priority.”

Neal is the president of Student Council’s Executive Board. He coordinated the collection with Student Council advisors Chelsea Dyer and Kelley Sheraw.

“It’s a good cause,” Neal said. “We just wanted to give people a nice Thanksgiving.”
