When a school salutes a student as “Student of the Year,” it is a tremendous honor because it means that the student represents the qualities that the school stands for at its best. That’s why Kadence Clark is a shining example of the temperament, attitude, and scholarship of St. Frederick High School and has been named the 2025 Junior High School student of the year.
This tribute recognizes a young scholar who understands that true greatness is measured not just by grades, but by the difference one makes in others’ lives.
Kadence represents the very best of what it means to be a Warrior. She lives out the school’s core tenets—faith, curiosity, excellence, service, and leadership—with unwavering consistency.
As a 4.0 student in the IB Middle Years Programme, she demonstrates a commitment to scholarship that inspires her peers.
She is an active member of the National Junior Honor Society, the National Junior Spanish Society, and the St. Frederick Junior High Cheer Team, showing her ability to balance rigorous academics with meaningful extracurricular involvement.
Her dedication extends far beyond the school’s walls. Kadence participates in Jack and Jill of America, Inc., the Unicycling Society of Louisiana, and Extreme Athletic Competition Cheer, enriching her community with her time, talent, and joyful spirit.
Yet what truly sets Kadence apart is her servant’s heart. When asked about her favorite way to serve, she didn’t mention an award or a spotlight moment.
Instead, she spoke about leading campus tours—sharing her pride in St. Frederick, welcoming prospective students, and helping them feel at home. Her excitement is genuine, her smile contagious, and her leadership unmistakable.
For Kadence being Student of the Year is more than a title. It is a call to excellence, a commitment to serve, and a promise to lead with grace.
She embodies all of these values with humility and enthusiasm, showing her classmates—and her community—what it truly means to shine.
