Dontae Muse was Student of the Week at Pershing County Middle School for the week of March 11 - 14. Here is what one of his teachers John Keitz had to say about him."I wanted to nominate Dontae Muse for student of the week. Dontae comes to school and exemplifies the character and scholarship that all students should aspire to. He does this week in and week out, without fail, and he does so by actions rather than words. He is never one to try to be noticed for doing the right thing, he just does it. That is why I would like to recognize Dontae as a student of the week."
