Ayden Nunez, a senior at Waynesville High School, has been named the Rotary WHS Student of the Month for November 2025 for best representing resilience. He was recognized during the Rotary Club of Pulaski County meeting on Nov. 4, 2025.
One of Nunez’s nominators stated, “Ayden continues to show up to school and perform despite adversities present in his life. Ayden is very conscientious about missing assignments and communicates when he is in need of help. Ayden is resilient … and does everything he can to make sure he is on track for graduation and keeping up with course work.”
Another nominator stated, “Ayden's resilience has led him to a place of strength and continued growth, even when setbacks occur.”
After graduation, Nunez plans to attend Ozarks Technical Community College for two years and then transfer to Missouri State University to receive a business or culinary degree. His ultimate goal is to manage his own restaurant.
FAFSA Night will be held at 6 p.m. tonight (Oct. 28, 2025) at the Waynesville High School Library for WHS seniors and their parents/guardians who plan to attend college and/or trade school.
In addition, a college admissions counselor and GI Bill specialist will be available.
During this event, families will learn about the different types of aid and why it’s important for every student who plans to go to college or trade school to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid – regardless of their income level.
To prepare for FAFSA night, please bring:
· A list of schools you are interested in attending
· StudentAid.gov account information for parents/guardians and student. Students will be able to create account during this time if they do not have one.
· Social Security numbers for both students and parents/guardians.
· Federal income tax returns and W-2 from 2024 as well as records of untaxed income like child support and asset information.
Waynesville High School’s Student Government Association will host a Trunk or Treat event today (Monday, Oct. 27, 2025) from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the WHS parking lot. #wayschools

About Lady Dracula
Step inside the academy, where an unsettling feeling lingers and the sense of being watched never quite fades. Students whisper of strange figures moving through the moonlit halls or the voices when no one is there. And in the heart of it all, behind the royal purple and lightning, she waits. Lady Dracula has awoken once more.
