Graduating
seniors at Windham High School recently received well-deserved recognition for
their classroom accomplishments, but a group of other students cannot be overlooked
for their focus on academics as well.
The
school has announced its list of Collegiate Book Award recipients, a
distinction that Windham High Assistant Principal Philip Rosetti said is
presented each year to the top-achieving students in the junior class.
“Windham
High School would like to recognize the following 2020 Junior book award
winners,” Rosetti said. “Each college or university establishes rigorous
criteria and seeks feedback from high school faculty and administration to
identify the worthy recipient of each award.”
He said that every year a select number of universities and
colleges in America partner with secondary schools such as Windham High to
recognize exceptional high school juniors and underclass students.
According to Rosetti, each award pays tribute to a specific area
of achievement and excellence, such as service to the community, music and the
arts, academic distinction and advocacy.
The awards recognize distinguished students at Windham High,
giving them a chance to gain a wider look at the world they live in and to
connect outstanding students with schools of higher learning.
Each Collegiate Book Award recipient is presented with a book
from the university or college and is intended to foster their willingness to
grow and learn.
