C.E. VICKERY AWARD

Charles E. Vickery believed in serving others and this award is to honor him and his dedicated service to the Walter Gerlach Livestock Show. As the founding Ag teacher of the WGLS, Mr. Vickery had a dream of providing a show for the students of Northside to exhibit their animals and learn to serve others in unselfish ways. He worked hard and was never afraid to get right into the mix of things; he was a true lead by example type of person. As so, the WGLS Board of Directors recognizes up to six students who carry on the Vickery spirit of serving others and serving the show. 

Criteria for this award are as follows: 

  • The student must be nominated by one or more of the directors 

  • The student must serve the 2025 WGLS by volunteering at workdays, animal delivery days, and during the WGLS 

  • The student must have an entry in the 2025 Walter Gerlach Livestock Show 

  • The student takes initiative to serve without being asked 

  • The student completes tasks with a positive attitude 

  • The student does what is asked of him/her the first time asked 

  • The student actively volunteers and helps when called upon
