This award is designed to identify students who have demonstrated significant improvement and/or overcome obstacles in attaining their current status; it is designed to recognize growth and improvement.
The nominees are selected by a team that includes administrators and faculty members who identify students who meet the above criteria. A variety of factors are considered as the final two are determined.
Derrick’s career interests are in the auto body industry. Mercedes is interested in pursuing a career in Criminal Justice.
They both were overwhelmingly selected by our staff and are worthy of the recognition of the award.
