This morning an Academic Awards Program was held at the high school to honor and recognize high school students qualifying for an academic letter. To be eligible for this award, high school students must maintain at least a 3.25 GPA for four consecutive terms. Mr. Bieschke, High School Principal began the program with a message centered around the importance of blending academic talents with character development. He stressed that while academic ability can lead to success beyond high school, the character that one builds and develops support sustaining a successful career and life. This is an important message for our high school students to hear and understand.
Following the message students were recognized for earning the academic letter. For the 10th graders it was the first time they were eligible and 59 students earned their academic letter and certificate. There were 51 juniors 58 seniors honored for qualifying for the academic letter as well. Many of these students have earned this honor each time they have been eligible. It was great to see many parents and grandparents in attendance at the awards program as well as the entire high school student body. Congratulations to all of the award recipients on a job well done!
