Duman Award Winner: Reagan Ramirez

Congratulations to Reagan Ramirez, our 2025 Duman Award winner from Santiam Christian!

We ask for coaches from each school to nominate one student who shines their light brightly for Jesus by always showing kindness, encouragement, and good leadership skills. This year’s Duman Award winner, Reagan, stood out among the nominees. This is what Reagan’s coach had to say…

“I am honored to nominate Reagan Ramirez for the 2025 Duman Award, as she truly embodies the qualities it represents. A quiet yet powerful leader, she consistently shines her light for Jesus through her kindness, encouragement, and unwavering support for others. She is the first to recognize the strengths and value in her peers, always uplifting and inspiring those around her. With a heart full of selflessness and determination, she approaches SALT and every challenge she faces with grit and a willingness to work hard, not for personal recognition, but for the success of those around her. Whether through her dedication to preparation, eagerness to collaborate, or steady encouragement, Reagan is a shining example of what it means to lead with faith, humility, and love.”

The Duman Award was established as a way to honor our beloved teacher Trisha Duman who passed away in 2018. She loved being part of SALT, and her passing left us with a forever hole in our hearts. This is an award we give to honor her memory. Trisha had many amazing characteristics, but she was best known for her kindness.
