Doug Prodor is a senior at Henry and was selected as Patrick Henry High School’s Student of the Month for February. He was honored during the Grantville/Allied Garden Kiwanis Club meeting last month by Principal Listy Gillingham.

Prodor was nominated because of his commitment to Patrick Henry High School (PHHS) as a Link Crew member; his participation in theater and stand-up comedy with the improv team; and his efforts as a broadcast journalist. Last year, Prodor distinguished himself by creating a video with his friend Clinton Allen to demonstrate the three pillars for the newly-arriving freshmen. They put this video together during the summer without direction from any staff member in hopes of creating a strong and friendly climate at PHHS.

Prodor played various supporting roles in the theater program during his time at Henry, and played the lead role in PHHS’s production of “Shrek the Musical” held last month in PHAME.

“Douglas Prodor is always positive and helpful,” said English teacher Wendy Lange. “He has a great sense of humor and gets along with everyone. He treats everyone equally and works hard in class.”

Science teacher, Lara Dickens, stated that, “Doug puts in a lot of time making PHHS shine. He is great and has a big personality.”

Prodor demonstrates a positive view as a news anchor on the PHHS Broadcast that is aired semi-monthly. Gillingham noted his kindness and ability to represent Henry well, whether it’s through being on the stage in the Air Band competition as a contestant, or being the emcee trying to hype up a crowd.

Prodor has a way to make people smile and deserves this recognition. He is currently in the PHHS Engineering program and will excel at any endeavor he plans to pursue.
