I self-reported an award that I received but didn’t receive an invitation to the Senior Awards Ceremony.

Why wasn’t I invited? If the award sponsor is unable to attend the event, your name is included in the “Special Recognition” section in the Program where we have listed self-reported senior accomplishments.

What if I can’t make it to the Senior Awards Ceremony? What happens to my awards?

You can pick up your awards from the Career Center in Room 28 during the week following the Senior Awards Ceremony.

Are there any other instructions?

During the ceremony, when the students name is called, the student can remove their mask (if preferred), approach the award sponsor, accept the award, and return to their seat to put their mask on. Some students will stand at their seat and the award will be brought to them. Students are not permitted to sit with guests once they accept their awards.
