Miller and Kline received the National Federation of High School’s National Award of Excellence. The award is presented to students that have exhibited qualities that embody good citizenship, good moral character, good sporting behavior, and are positive role models for others.
Snider, Woods, Thieret Mooty, Clever, McLeod, Cooper, Sheets, Neibert, Weiss, and Stewart received the HMS Scot Pride award. The award is aligned with the positive behavior expectations at Highland Middle School, and these students demonstrated in all areas behavior that was honorable, mindful, and self-aware.
The honorees were presented their awards at individual times during the last week of May. The National Federation of High Schools, the Ohio High School Athletic Association, and Highland Middle School strongly support good sportsmanship among the youth and adults in our schools and workplaces.
