South Fork High School is proud to recognize Val Malloy for her outstanding service, leadership, and dedication to our school and community. As President of the Student Government Association, Val has “transformed the organization into one of the strongest and most cohesive student-led groups on campus,” says SGA advisor Mrs. Gorton.
Under Val’s leadership, SGA didn’t just meet expectations—it exceeded them. A standout example was this year’s Thanksgiving Basket Drive, where student donations grew from 500 baskets last year to an incredible 701 baskets, a new school record and a powerful gift to families in need. As Mrs. Gorton shared, “This was the direct result of Valerie’s planning skills, communication, delegation, and ability to inspire others to serve with purpose.”
Beyond that achievement, Val has volunteered countless hours supporting:
❤️ Homecoming events and Penny Wars (raising $1,200 for House of Hope)
🎃 Trunk or Treat benefiting the Humane Society
🧸 SGA Toy Drive in partnership with CTE Elite
🐾 The Bulldog Closet
🎤 A Martin Leadership panel
🇺🇸 South Fork’s participation in the 9/11 Walk
…and so much more, all while helping elevate school spirit across campus.
“Valerie is thoughtful, compassionate, dependable, and one of the most capable student leaders I have worked with,” Mrs. Gorton added. “She has truly embodied what it means to be a student volunteer.”
❤️🐾 Please join us in celebrating Val Malloy, whose leadership by example has made a lasting impact on South Fork High School and our community!
Be More. Be A Bulldog.
