Another voting period for the Ames Tribune's Student of the Week poll is live.

Each week, principals and other school staff in Story County nominate excellent high schoolers for the Ames Tribune's new student recognition program.

This series highlights success in academics and extracurriculars. Staff at Story County-area schools will select a student they think rises to the occasion, and AmesTrib.com readers vote to determine the winners.

The public can vote on this week's contest at Amestrib.com through 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 7. The student with the most votes will be announced on Friday, March 8. An accompanying story will be published in each Sunday's Ames Tribune.

Last week's winner was Erynn Dulaney of Colo-NESCO.

Editor's note: Due to technical issues, this week's poll had to be rebuilt; votes cast between 6 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. Monday, March 4 were lost.

Here are the Student of the Week nominees for the week March 4:
