The Student of the Month program is meant to promote success in and out of the classroom. For a student to be a well-respected citizen, they must be able to balance many different areas of life. They must exemplify outstanding characteristics both as a student and as a citizen of the community. The student must be able to handle many different aspects of student life while maintaining excellence in the classroom. This award is designed to nominate and select students who promote and take pride in Avery County High School's Career and Technical Education Program and in themselves.
To be nominated as Student of the Month the candidate must be a current high school student. The student will exemplify character in and out of the classroom. A student cannot receive the award more than once within a year.
