With the end of the school year coming up quick, it’s now that time of the year when seniors are recognized at Senior Awards Night. The ceremony will be held on April 25 at 6:30 p.m. in the large gym. It is an invitation-only event, with the seniors invited allowed to bring friends and family along with them to celebrate their achievements.

“This is a celebration of four years of hard work,” Lisa Woodrum, event coordinator and guidance counselor, said. “It’s a true collaborative effort, culminating high school experience for our most deserving seniors.”

This event is held annually to honor seniors chosen by faculty or members of the community and for other academic reasons. It is an opportunity for seniors to receive their academic accolades before graduation, such as their cords for NHS, departments, clubs and community awards. Also, some seniors may receive scholarships at this event.

“I’m excited to get my cords because it represents all of the hard work I’ve put into this program for the past two years,” senior NHS member Ethan Aylesworth said. “It’s important to me because it will help me achieve my goals later in life.”
