NHS Senior Awards Present Scholarships to Over 80 Students

The 50th Annual Senior Awards Ceremony at Northport High School recognized over 80 seniors being awarded various scholarships from community members and organizations. This special event honors those who have been active in their school, their community and have shown tremendous spirit and resiliency.

Awards were presented by various members of administration, including Principal Robert Dennis and Superintendent of Schools Robert Banzer. Scholarships ranged from $100 up to thousands for students continuing their education or entering the armed forces. Students had to apply for each scholarship, most of which required essays and had various criteria for selecting winners.

At the end of the event, the district also recognized 88 teachers and staff who were selected as “Staff Members Who Made a Difference.” Principal Dennis recognized that our students’ successes depend on a support system comprised of families, community and teachers.

Congratulations to these remarkable students on their success!
