Awards for Achievement

The Board of Education believes that student achievement should be recognized at all levels in a manner appropriate to the student’s accomplishment. A variety of programs may be implemented to recognize excellence such as honor rolls, honor societies and citizenship and leadership awards. The Board encourages school recognition ceremonies and community recognition ceremonies to honor scholarship and distinguished character and leadership abilities.

The Board directs the Superintendent or his/her designee to develop criteria and procedures for presenting suitable awards to students for scholarship, outstanding accomplishments in the arts, athletics and citizenship, and distinguished service in any school activity. In all cases, the relationship between the award and the relevant goal or goals of the schools should be emphasized. The procedures may include certificates, assemblies or other special marks of recognition.
