Congratulations to Heidi Fox, the 2024-2025 Cedar Crest High School Senior of the Year! Heidi is the daughter of Mark and Thuong Fox.
The Senior of the Year process starts with 40 seniors being nominated by the high school staff. That list is narrowed to the Top 10 and eventually to the Top 5 Finalists. In the final round, each student participates in an interview with the high school administrative team. The final round of interviews along with a building wide vote resulted in the selection of Heidi as the CCHS Senior of the Year.
In presenting Heidi to the Board of School Directors, Principal Groff shared that she is a strong leader for the school. “She’s positive and caring within her leadership and brings a “let’s-get-the–job-done” intensity to everything she does,” he said.
“We have witnessed those positive traits countless times within the classroom and throughout her participation in all the groups for which she’s been a member: National Honor Society; World Languages Club; Key Club; Student Council; President and Treasurer of the Renaissance Club; Vice President and Treasurer of Mini-THON; Concert Choir; Show Choir; Cedar Crest High School soccer; swimming and track & field teams. She also has served as a Student Ambassador and tutor for CCHS.
“Heidi participated in all of these clubs and activities while also getting the job done in the classroom where she is in the Top 5% of the Class of 2025 and a gold medal recipient, representing her outstanding academic achievements for all four years at CCHS.
“Heidi’s impact is not just recognized within the walls of CCHS but also by community members. At our Senior Awards Celebration, Heidi was honored with several community awards and scholarships: Henry Funk Memorial Scholarship; Ronald and Joyce Wanek Foundation Scholarship; Jannell L. Hollinger Memorial Scholarship; E. Jerry Brooks Academic Excellence in Sports Award; and the Lena Naftzinger Exceptional Service Award. We also were informed after the Senior Awards Celebration occurred that Heidi received the Lebanon County Bar Association Outstanding Senior Award. She truly is outstanding.
“Heidi Fox is a fantastic person and a wonderful student. We’re blessed to have had her walking the halls of our school for four years.
“Heidi, our administrative team and staff are so proud of you and so appreciative of your efforts. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor!”
