Senior Awards *NEW INFO*
Each year, Park Hill High School seniors are recognized for their scholastic achievements. This year's information will be in the form of a Power Point instead of a ceremony.
If you have received scholarships or awards aimed at furthering your education, please follow the link below to complete the Google document listing your awards.
Please list all academic scholarships/awards that you have been offered (whether you have accepted or declined) and include their monetary amounts.
Athletic or Fine Arts awards will be recognized providing they pertain to college acceptance or tuition fees.
This information will be used in the following ways: to gather a cumulative total of awards offered the Class of 2022 and to use in a Media Slideshow Celebration for our Seniors running during the school day. If you prefer that the information you share NOT be used on the PowerPoint, please communicate that to me, (capras@parkhill.k12.mo.us) or Jane Metzger at metzgerj@parkhill.k12.mo.us.
We will close the survey link at 8:00am, Monday, May 2, 2022 to insure attention to the content of the slideshow, so please be sure to get information in ASAP but no later than Monday, May 2nd at 8:00am. Please find form here.
