Academic Awards

Recognizing Excellence

We believe that positive recognition is a powerful tool for building character, encouraging a quest for excellence, and improving self-esteem and self-confidence. The recognition program provides opportunities for students to receive corrective feedback that can assist them in appropriate goal setting. It encourages students to monitor one another’s actions and helps to instill a sense of community and accountability with one’s peers. In addition to the recognition for academic excellence and character, we also celebrate success in Athletics with annual Athletic Awards.
