• HONORS:  Seniors are honored for accomplishments that they have received throughout the year as well as academic department awards and some special awards that are a surprise.  All seniors are expected to attend the ceremony for possible individual recognition but, more importantly, to celebrate the accomplishments of the entire class together.  At the Senior Honors Ceremony, programs are handed out to parents and guests right before the ceremony begins.  Please help us keep the surprise of the academic department awards and special awards presented by not sharing this information with any senior daughter prior to the ceremony. 
• SCHOLARSHIP RECOGNITION:  Seniors are recognized for their scholarship offers and acceptance to colleges and special programs, such as Honors Programs or Honors Colleges, based on documentation they have provided to us prior to April 22 in the form of institution emails and letters.  Please note that we need all offers of admission, special programs, and scholarship offers regardless of whether the student is planning to enroll or accept the offer.  Please be sure to have your daughter submit all scholarship offers to the guidance office by April 22 in order to be printed in the Senior Honors Ceremony booklet.
