Congratulations Leah Culli and Olivia Scharfenberger! As award winners they are invited to participate in the Jerry Awards Ceremony and Performance in Madison at the Overture Center on June 9th.

This is Germantown's third year participating in the Jerry Awards. This regional program involves many high schools from the Wisconsin area. Participating schools are reviewed and rated by a panel of judges, and certain students and areas of production are recognized if they achieve high standards of excellence.

Leah Culli received the Jerry Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in her role as Clopin in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Leah Culli is a Junior and has participated in two other Dramatic Impact productions. Her portrayal of Clopin was noted for her high energy playfulness she instilled at all times, and her strong singing even through times of physical agility.

Olivia Scharfenberger is recognized as this year's GHS Spirit Award Winner. This award is granted by the Director to one student who has contributed distinctly to the program. Olivia is a Senior at GHS and has participated in many Dramatic Impact productions throughout her high school career. She is also heavily involved in choir and many other student activities.
