Learn more about our student recognition...

The award for October is intended to honor an at-risk student from each member district who has overcome a problem to be successful in school and life. The problem he/she overcame should not be due to poor choices but rather a problem that put him/her in the position of being a victim of circumstance. Students from any grade level will be recognized for this award.
