Intermediate Awards
At the conclusion of each year, intermediate students are presented plaques
and certificates for outstanding achievements in a number of areas.
Certificates are awarded to the top students in each class while the plaques are
presented to the top overall students in the school. It is possible that no
student meets the criteria in a given year, and in those cases, the plaques or
certificates will be withheld. Each student who receives a plaque also has
his/her name engraved on the permanent plaques in the display case. If two
students are tied for a plaque, then the student in the higher grade receives it.
If the students are from the same grade then they share the award.
