Academic Recognition
Awards and Recognition
AP (Assistant Principal’s) Award
In order to promote effort, behavior, and citizenship that exemplifies our ROAR expectations (Respect, Ownership, Acceptance, Responsibility), the Assistant Principal’s Award is given out each Monday on Video Journalism. We recognize a student who has exhibited these traits or who has shown a vast improvement in his/her behavior for an extended period of time. This can be someone that a teacher or staff member nominates or it can be someone that the Administration wishes to recognize. The student’s picture is taken and placed on the wall in the Counseling Office and the student also receives a certificate to bring home. Students will be honored each month in the newsletter.
