AWARDS
The Academic letters will be awarded each year. An assembly for awardees will be held in May where recipients will receive a certificate and a pin. Students will be informed of where and when the assembly will be held. These outstanding students are then entitled to purchase a school letter and/or letter jacket or sweater on their own from an outside vendor. Those students not able to attend the assembly may pick up their certificate and pin following the day of the assembly from the staff member in charge of the award. PLEASE NOTE-Due to our current status, the awarding of the Academic Letter may be postponed or handled in an alternative manner.
