April Students of the Month
STRONG Student Leadership Team Hosts Second Annual Academic and Service Pep Rally Today, the high school STRONG student leadership team hosted their second annual Academic and Service Pep Rally. The purpose of the assembly was to highlight students’ accomplishments in the following areas: Classroom and Club Accomplishments, Contests and Conferences, School Representatives, Fine Arts, Class and Club Competitions, and Academic Achievements. Students were also congratulated on regular and distinguished honor roll status as well as “ultimate teacher shout outs” where each faculty member chose the hardest working student in their classes. All total, there were over 600 student acknowledgements. While some students were involved in more than one category, this number is still an incredible accomplishment for our high school. Thank you to the STRONG team members, Dr. Stoudt, and Mr. Snyder who served as MC for the event. Special thanks to our sponsors who ensured multiple students received prizes: Montgomery Athletic Boosters, All-Star Bagels, Dunkin, Thad’s Place, Nutrition Inc, Sheetz, Subway, and Keystone Graphics.
