Awards and Honors

Throughout the school year, students and friends of Vincent Smith School receive recognition in the following categories:

1) Honor Roll.

Middle school and high school students may earn honor roll status on one of three academic levels. Honor Roll inductees will be announced at a special assembly each term and their achievement will be noted here.

2) Annual Awards.

A. Commencement Awards. Each term outstanding students are nominated for special recognition, receiving one of a series of endowed awards. These awards are presented at Senior Commencement and include a gift from the Board of Trustees. In addition, the name of each recipient is inscribed on a plaque that is on display in the High School Commons.

C. Special Recognition. Throughout the year, the PTA and other groups make presentations based on student achievement, interest, and skill. From time to time, classroom teachers may make presentations.
