Report Senior Scholarships
Seniors, we want to celebrate you and all the scholarships you are earning. Please fill out the Scholarship Reporting Form (Google Form) for each scholarship you have been awarded. (Even if it’s a small amount or automatic with your acceptance to your college). This information will also be posted in our graduation program. Keep up the good work!
Area of Distinction
The Areas of Distinction is an older version of our Cords & Awards program, we no longer award Areas of Distinction. Almost every award previously granted through the Areas of Distinction program is now offered through Cords & Awards.
