|
|
have maintained superior levels of academic achievement or that are |
|
|
making significant gains while serving an economically |

performance and improvement; these accomplishments are a testament |
|
|
to the school's success in creating an engaging learning |
|
|
environment in which the individual strengths and needs of each |
|
|
student are considered, as well as to its productive efforts to |
|
|
encourage the involvement of parents and community volunteers in |
|
|
the education process; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through their diligence, hard work, and dedication, |
|
|

an impressive record of scholastic success, and they may take great |
|
|
pride in earning this prestigious honor; now, therefore, be it |
|
