The district has established a program of annual awards to high school students to recognize and encourage outstanding academic achievement. It is known as the Trustees’ Scholar Award and it occurs annually in a ceremony. A certificate is given each year a student is a recipient. The recipients must be scholastically within the top ten percent of their class group at the end of the first five reporting periods for that school year. Students must have earned at least a 3.0 GPA. A student who receives an I or an NC grade shall not be eligible to receive the award. The Trustee Awards does NOT replace the Cumulative Ranking that is done twice a year in December and June. The Cumulative Rankings is information used for the top 10% in each class for colleges, or any other request based on the ranking of the class not the trustee awards.
