“This wonderful annual celebration really recognizes the best part of students,” Principal Charlie Cobb said. “There's a multitude of reasons we are acknowledging them. This is not just about an academic achievement or earning a score on a certain test, these awards are about our students being outstanding young individuals, and we want to congratulate all of them.”
