It’s our fourth HOT 100, but a couple of misconceptions still need to be rectified. First, being a HOT 100 has nothing to do with looks. Oh, sure, many of our winners – students AND teachers/coaches/admins/staffers – are absolutely smokin’, but that’s beside the point. They’re being recognized because of the contributions they make to their school communities.

Second, other than this year’s two overall winners – Mesquite’s Mrs. Alber and Sunrise Mountain’s Taylor Wetnight – the HOT 100s are listed in no particular order. So No. 3, stop talking smack to No. 100. You’re equals!

Finally, this issue marks the final contribution for many of our staffers. Sixteen azTeen editors and correspondents are graduating, including longtime major contributors and current eds Bree Purdy, HaeSoo Cheon, Jennifer Na and Carolina Lopez. They are our very own own azTeen hotties, and they will be missed.

Have a safe, HOT summer!

ou don’t need a thermometer to tell you it’s getting HOT again. After all, you’re holding azTeen’s HOTtest issue of the year. For four years now, the HOT 100 issue has ushered out the school year by recognizing 100 of the students, teachers, coaches, administrators and staffers who are making amazing contributions to the Arizona high school communities.

For the first time, one student and one adult honoree have been recognized as overall winners and received prizes from azTeen’s co-sponsors, Quiksilver and kohler AcAdemy. Turn the page to read about these two outstanding individuals as well as (in no particular order) the other 98 certified hotties, plus our new Hall of Fame for those who receive nods year after year.

TAylor WeTnighT never knew her aunt Bobi, who was murdered years before Taylor was born. But as Taylor grew, she heard all about Bobi’s death and, even more importantly, her life, and at some point decided to do something big to honor her family’s memories of Bobi. This year, the Sunrise Mountain junior turned 16 – the age Bobi was at her death. While she had already committed to living the full, happy and giving life that Bobi never got to experience, Taylor decided to do something more. So, in honor of Bobi, Taylor set out to raise $1,000 for Parents of Murdered Children. She visited 500 businesses and secured more than $6,000 in donations for a silent auction and organized and carried out a Broadway-style cabaret. Ultimately, she raised nearly $5,000 for the organization.

Taylor is being honored by Kohler Academy and Quiksilver with the top spot in azTeen’s 2011 Hot 100 not just because of the money she was able to raise through her hard work and perseverance. With her determination to altruism, her passion and her commitment to fully embrace every day with gratitude and joy, Taylor sets a great example for all of us.

For everyone who thinks that teachers have it easy since they get summers off and hey, the school day ends before three, we have one word for you: Ha! In most cases, teachers’ pay comes out to about 7 cents an hour. And those who take on extra roles – as club advisors or coaches – do not do so for extra money; factor in those extra hours and those folks make about 4 cents an hour.So when mrs. cAssie Alber agreed to take over Mesquite’s Speech & Debate team a few years ago, it wasn’t for the glory or the big payday. And it certainly wasn’t so that she could brag to her friends. Students, like senior Nicole Fisher, who nominated Mrs. Alber, freely admit that the team was in shambles. But that was then.

Thanks to Mrs. Alber’s hard work as sponsor and coach, the team has tripled in size – from 13 last year to 40 this year – and gained a reputation on the S&D circuit as a force to be reckoned with. An Iowa native, Mrs. Alber has taught at Mesquite for 11 years and is also the StuGo senior advisor. She says she loves Speech & Debate because it trains kids to be critical thinkers and spontaneous speakers. She was very moved that Nicole took the time to nominate her for the Hot 100.

“It’s amazing to feel appreciated,” she says. “It’s astounding for students to take time out of their often egotistical lives and recognize the importance of showing gratitude. It speaks volumes about what I do and about them.”

Mrs. Alber received a $200 gift card from Kohler Academy for a full day of beauty and a supply of styling products.

Tolleson and Afghanistan are worlds apart (except for the heat and desert landscape, perhaps), but that hasn’t stopped the 30+ members of the neW globAl ciTizens club from throwing themselves behind the cause of the education of women and children in that country. Under the direction of advisor and University High social studies teacher mr. dAniel gomAn, the NGC has raised enough money through special events to fund the education of 43 members of the Afghan community. Mr. Goman has a special knack for sparking his students’ desire to become true citizens of the world.

Leukemia hit ceci chrisTenson, so she and friend and fellow Gilbert junior kArissA

sorensen hit back. Ceci was saved by a bone-marrow transplant from her brothers, so to help

increase awareness and raise the chances of others waiting on transplants, she launched Ceci’s Climb. Pals like Karissa took on the cause, ensuring that

everyone at Gilbert knew about the mission.

A tradition at Skyline, the key club’s AnnuAl Pink ouT event to raise mon-ey for breast cancer research is always well-received by the Coyotes student body. A girls’ basketball game is the cen-terpiece of the event, in which the jer-seys are pink, luminarias are displayed at halftime to commemorate those affected by breast cancer, pink shirts are sold, and stylists give haircuts to girls willing to donate their hair to Locks of Love.

We’d run out of ink if forced to print HoT 100 certificates for everyone at Poston Butte who came to the aid of husband-and-wife teachers mike and Jennifer delATorre. So the Delatorres – he’s a

social studies and Pe teacher and football coach; she’s a special-ed teacher and

cheer coach – will represent all of PBHS who came together when the couple’s daughter, Jordyn, was diagnosed with

cancer last year. Various school organiza-tions put together fundraisers, and the

entire Broncos community rallied behind the family. Poston Butte is a new school, in San Tan Valley in the farthest recesses of the southeast Valley. It’s small and rela-tively unknown, but as the Delatorres can

attest, it’s got heart.

Always there to supply a “finals survival kit” or mix CD for her friends, Sunnyslope senior JAsmine

fuller aims to make a difference in the world socially as well as with

her big brain. She’s atop her class academically, a National Merit Finalist, member of NHS and the recipient of a

bevy of academic awards.

Having lived in five countries, Notre Dame world history and pop culture teacher 24 mr. dAvid lAmb brings a real-world experience to his classroom. He is known as an engaging, interactive educator, who comes in costume for some lectures, re-enacts historic events with students and spurs his Saints to take an active role in the history being made all around them.

Like a spooky cautionary tale told around the campfire, the legend of 25 ms. chArlyn morgAn was passed down

from older siblings to the newbies going into sophomore AP european History at Shadow Mountain. even for the brightest of students, earning a 70 on the first test of the year is considered a major accomplishment. She’s tough, yes. But dry and boring? Absolutely not. In addition to having a wardrobe that is the envy of her female students, Ms. Morgan brings history to life through costumes and even a trip to europe for 50 lucky students. Achieving an A from Ms.

Morgan is akin to a rave review from Simon or hearing “you’re hired!” from The Donald.

As the golf coach and sponsor of two clubs (Speech and Debate and the new Conspiracy Club), longtime Mountain Pointe social studies teacher 26 mr. lAne WAddell spends his day surrounded by students. Still, Mr. Waddell’s open-door policy is always in effect; he welcomes kids at lunch and stays after school or comes in early to help students for as long as they need him. He’s

got a great sense of humor and, say students, it’s clear he knows and loves his stuff.

Who’s that mustachioed man striding down the halls of Phoenix Country Day? Why, that’s 27 mr. dAve mArTin, and he’s a legend. Mr. Martin teaches AP U.S. history to juniors, but everyone knows him. He’s the guy who always has time to explain things to you, the guy who motivates you to work hard so you can make him proud, the guy who teaches for the right reasons and not to gain kudos or attention.

these 4 will go down in history!

donna, but Tolleson’s University High has Lonnie. An expert at

hugs and high-fives, ms. lonnie lAnsford manages to remain cheerful despite her heavy work-load as University’s only secre-

But these front-office folks are still pretty

awesome.

Described by a student as “a

firecracker of positive energy,

a helpful mentor and an

inspirational fixture” on

the Phoenix Country Day

campus, ms. Jenny

TreAdWAy is known for her cheerful

demeanor and contagious

enthusiasm. As assistant

division head of the high school, Ms.

Treadway has a lot on her plate

but always manages

to choose inspiration over

intimidation. 30yes, there are some mean deans out there. But Desert ridge’s dean of students, ms. melindA murPhy, isn’t mean – she just has high standards. She has dedi-cated her life to the Jag-uars under her watch, and her continuous encourage-ment helps to ensure their success.

social studies teachers are always a hoT favorite

25 A school’s success starts at the top; without a dynamic

administration that truly cares about the individual and group

accomplishments of the student body, nothing of note will every happen. Ms. Patricia Goolsby, Mountain Pointe’s assistant

principal in charge of activities, probably doesn’t consciously think about setting a stellar

example as a leader on campus – she just does it, day after day. When there is an opportunity

for any member of The Pride to shine, Ms. Goolsby does all she

can to make it happen.

is there anything they can’t do?:some students just can’t stand having any free time!

45Let’s see. Nicholas Deporzio is ranked number one in the junior class at Fountain Hills, is governor of Key Club – aka head honcho over the entire Southwest re-

gion of Arizona, California and New Mexico – competes in foot-ball and track for the Falcons, is a member of research Club, Teen Court, Falcon Leadership and NHS and takes nothing but AP classes. And – wait for it! – he’s also a truly good guy.

Guys at an all-boys school don’t toss around labels such as “angel” very often. But that’s the term friends use to de-scribe Brophy senior J.p. MulligaN because of his sincere heart. He has been on StuCo for four years, is a NHMS and was the recipient as a sophomore of his school’s award for an underclassman who “excels in all areas of the graduate and represents Brophy’s goal of being a Man for others.” J.P. ran varsity cross country all four years and is a practitio-ner of the Israeli martial arts form Krav Maga.

He’s got spirit, yes he do! He’s got spirit – how ‘bout

you? As rally organizer, senior AdAm silvermAn

is behind the pep at Shadow Mountain. He’s also a standout tennis player, stellar student

and the force behind the Matadors’ frequent

campus blood drives.

Millennium senior Ally cArr is involved in Drama,

and the Speech and Debate and Scholastic Bowl teams.

She won praise for her portrayal of Allison in MHS’s

production of The Break-fast Club, has great fashion

sense and maintains a 4.25 GPA. oh, she’s also a

member of the Tigers swim team AND works part-time

as the Dip ‘N Dots girl at Coyote games.

She’s your classic triple threat, demonstrating prowess in sports, the arts and school spirit. Saguaro’s TAylor sundermeier is

student-body president, sings in the Sabercats’ top choir and plays varsity soccer. A senior, T-Sun is endlessly enthusiastic, giving and

dedicated to breaking down barriers between cliques.

fiftySure, he’s a four-year member of the Apache Junction varsity baseball team, but senior nick sAAThoff is much more than simply an impressive athlete. An academic standout, Nick tutors students at an AJ alternative school and started a program to encourage college attendance for those who haven’t believed they were college material. This year, he was “Mr. Prospector,” an honor he earned by dressing like a lunch lady and performing a skit, and in the fall he’s off for another challenge: studying business and playing baseball at Harvard. From Prospector to ivy league Bulldog is a big leap, but something tells us that Nick is up to the challenge.

chrisTiAn shAPPee is your garden-variety overachiever. He’s an award-

winning photographer, Pinnacle’s student-body president, a member

of NHS, Key Club and the track team, and maintains a 4.1 GPA in a heavy AP/

honors courseload. He is involved in Pinnacle’s SSBTr organization to raise

money for brain cancer research and is headed off to ASU’s Barrett Honors

College in the fall. It’s a safe bet that he’ll jump right in and make his next four

years as jam-packed as the past four.

vAlerie hAnnA found her passion early and stuck with it. The Pinnacle senior has been involved in student government since elementa-ry school and after two years as class president is now serving as student body vice president. As a junior she was elected State President of the Arizona Associa-tion of Student Coun-cils. She is co-chair of the student-led non-profit orga-nization Students Supporting Brain Tumor research (SSBTr) and founded the Az Student Lead-ers community service day, where leaders from around the state come together to serve Arizona. She teaches swim les-sons to kids, is in NHS and the Society of Women Scholars, and is a “big boss” in the freshman men-tor program.

Jennifer edens is regarded as “the StuGo sponsor every school wishes it had.” She offers support and motivation to her charges, who feel Ms. edens’s influence long after they have left Westview’s halls.

“Treat yourself,

don’t cheat yourself!” Track and basketball athletes at Liberty will recognize

the words of mr. roberT

Jones, for whom good

enough is never,

well, good enough. only

an athlete’s best will do, but because he smiles as much as he

issues orders, Coach

Jones is appreciated

and admired rather than

feared.

at xavier, the gators badminton team is a

family – albeit a very Competitive, suCCessful

family. that wasn’t always the Case; a few years ago, the gators slogged along at the

baCk of the paCk. when ms. nAncy meyers took

over three years ago, that Changed. in her seCond year, CoaCh

meyers’ gators won the 5a1 state Championship;

this year, they were state runners-up.

between drills on the f-words (footwork and flexibility), she

introduCed some fun, devoting one praCtiCe

to learning to flamenCo danCe and organizing

group lunChes featuring her own signature salads.

Without a doubt bound for the state’s track and field Hall of Fame, mr. sTePhen cArson has built a dynasty at Chandler during his xx

years as boys head track coach. This is Track Town, Az, people – something

you surely know if you are familiar with the sport or have been to a big

meet at the Wolves’ Austin Field and watched Carson’s athletes blow

the rest of the field away and felt the stands shake with the stomps

of Chandler faithful who know they are in the presence of greatness. of late, one of those Wolves putting on a show has been seniors, hAnnAh

cArson, the coach’s daughter who hasn’t needed to ride his coattails as

she made her own mark. She’s ranked first in the country in the javelin, an

event not offered in high school but in which she will compete next year as part of Texas Tech’s track team. She

dominates in shot put, discus and high jump, three events she won at the recent 71st annual Chandler rotary Invitational. In 2010, both Wolves

teams, boys and girls, claimed state 5A1 titles; as of press time, they were

warming up to attempt a repeat.

bilingual without even realizing

it. Students say they learn and

have so much fun doing so that they can’t imagine not continuing on to

the next level.

rote memorization is no way to learn Spanish! srA. lee Ann silvA knows this, which is why her students play Spanish red rover and enjoy fiestas complete with salsa contests – both the dip and the dance. Sra.
