Recognizing student achievement is an essential element of a middle level program. This recognition fosters pride in self and school.
Achievement Awards
Achievement awards are presented during team award programs in the spring to students who excel in scholarship, leadership, character, and/or service to the school community. The top award bestowed on each team will be the Wildcat of the Year. This award is presented to the top two overall students on each team as measured by scholarship, citizenship, work ethic, and school spirit.
Wildcat Student Recognition Award
Each month (October-May) teachers will select two students per team to receive the Wildcat Student Recognition Award. Students selected as the Wildcat Students of the Month will exemplify the qualities of Wildcat PRIDE – Promoting a caring environment, responsible for our learning, interacting collaboratively, devoted to challenging our minds, and excellence in all that we do. In addition to having their photographs displayed on the Wildcat recognition board, recipients and their parents will be invited to attend a breakfast reception that is held monthly.
CATS (Caring and Thoughtful Student) Award
The CATS Award is designed to recognize students who are respectful of themselves and others. Everyone can be a “Caring and Thoughtful Student.” The CATS Award may be earned throughout the school year by any student who demonstrates one or more of the following qualities: respect, courtesy, self-control, cooperation, effort, and/or responsibility. Award winners will receive a certificate and a small gift. The student’s parents will also be notified of the good news.
