Senior Awards




On Monday evening May 11th, we all gathered up at the High School for the Shades of Excellence--Senior Recognition and Award Ceremony. It was very exciting to see all the students recieving all their awards and scholarships..over ONE MILLION DOLLARS was handed out. It was awesome! Anthony recieved Senior Recognition, AP Government, Honor Graduate, Panther Pride-Drama, UIL Scholar, ETBU Christian Leadership Sch., ETBU Honorary SCH., Gold Card Scholarship, and the TVCC Top 10% Scholarship Awards. ETBU is East Texas Baptist University about 2 hours west of us. Also that evening, the FIRST of many--Kyle Zitko Scholarship for $500 was awarded to Kevin Liggit who wrote the most impressive essay explaining his goals and dreams. Lindsay was outstanding when she went up on the stage to present the award. She expressed to the students "Don't lose your focus and embrace how hard it is to work for what you want to achieve" She also expressed remembering how excited Kyle was when he finally landed the job he loved. It was very moving and we are all so proud of her.
