SHEBOYGAN - A few years ago, struggling with mental illness, Elizabeth Calixto could not imagine being a senior in high school.A school social worker she met during her sophomore year made it imaginable.'I don't know how I would be here today without her,' said Calixto, a 12th-grader this year. 'Now, I'm a student that can speak on mental health, and I feel comfortable about it because of Mrs. Vorpahl.'Carla Vorpahl was one of two Sheboygan Area School District employees recognized statewide last month for profoundly affecting students' lives.
