The 52nd Annual Senior Awards Ceremony at Northport High School recognized over 80 seniors who have been awarded scholarships from community members and local 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 and scholarship providers. Scholarships ranged from $100 to $5,000 for students continuing their education or entering the armed forces or work force. Each scholarship has unique criteria which students must meet to be eligible and often include a personal essay or letter. Prior to awarding the scholarships, presenter’s gave speeches highlighting the terrific students who had applied and how difficult it was to select winners.
Principal Rob Dennis addressed the audience sharing his belief in the students and their abilities as they move onto the next chapter of their lives. “Over the course of the last four years at Northport High School, these students have grown into very fine young adults, and they are prepared more than ever to take on the challenges that await them after Northport High School.”
At the conclusion of the event, the district recognized dozens of teachers and staff who were selected as “Staff Members Who Made a Difference.”
Congratulations to these remarkable students on their success!
