Wolf seniors Jeann Nitta and Aiden O’Neill were honored Tuesday as the Coupeville Lions Club Students of the Quarter.

The awards, presented by Robin Bernardy, recognize the duo for their efforts during the fourth quarter of the 2025-2026 school year.

School staff vote for the recipients, with two students chosen per quarter during the school year. The Lions Club then gives out its Students of the Year during the year-end CHS awards ceremony.

To be eligible, a Wolf must be a senior and are judged on “community service, effort, character, social relationships, scholarship, ethical behavior, and integrity.”

Jeann Nitta, daughter of Ruby and Jarett Nitta, has been the manager for the CHS track and cross country teams, while also participating in basketball.

She is a member of the National Honor Society, boasts a 3.8 GPA, and picks English and art as her favorite classroom subjects.

Nitta balances several part-time jobs as well, working at McDonald’s, as a nanny, and as a house cleaner.

Her community service includes extensive volunteering at her church and various Coupeville school activities.

Nitta plans to attend Western Washington University and major in Early Childhood Education.

Aiden O’Neill, son of Ashley Blouin and Sean O’Neill, is a three-sport athlete at CHS, playing football, basketball, and baseball.

He has volunteered his time as a youth basketball ref, volunteered with the Lions Club garage sale, and is part of the Captains Club.

O’Neill, who works in the reception area at Regency of Coupeville, plans to attend college to become a physical therapist.
