Taylor Ball is a Havre High School Student of the Month for February. She is the daughter of Shawn and Megan Ball and has one sister, Hailey. Taylor is a sophomore who is active in volleyball, softball, Key Club and basketball as a manager.

Heather Haney, who nominated Taylor, said she is "an exceptional young woman. I have had the pleasure of teaching her for the past two years and it has been a joy to have her in the classroom. Her work is always wonderfully done, she is a great critical thinker and she's always got a smile on her face. Taylor's hard work and dedication extend past the classroom and into extracurricular activities as well. Taylor has been an active member of Key Club and is currently serving as the secretary. Her monthly reports are done accurately and always on time. One can always count on Taylor to offer a smile and a word of encouragement to others; and her kindness and compassion are extraordinary for someone her age. Thank you, Taylor, for your incredible work ethic, positive attitude, and genuine kindness."

In her free time, Taylor attends youth group and enjoys hanging out with friends and family, painting, drawing, helping with young children and playing with her dogs. After her time at HHS, Taylor isn't completely sure what she wants to do, but wants a job that makes a difference and allows her to help people ... and she plans to own a Tesla!
