Families, teachers, and staff gathered to honor a very special group of students for their dedication and success throughout the school year.
Students were recognized for a variety of achievements, including perfect attendance, outstanding academic performance, highest academic averages, citizenship awards, and participation and leadership in school clubs and organizations.
