"Hard work does not go unnoticed, and someday the rewards will follow" Allan Rufus.

...And the rewards did follow for all Eagles who were exceptional, both academically and non-academically, in the last semester.

In a virtual ceremony, via zoom, attended by over 190 participants who joined from their homes, and all students on campus, who joined from their classrooms, awards were given out to students who performed exceptionally in their school work and demonstrated the ARIS core values.

The awards were categorized into sections and were given to pupils from each class. The categories included:

1. Merit Award - given to students who received an average of 5.5 - 5.9 on all subjects, with no below expectations in approaches to learning skills.

2. Academic Award - given to students with a 6.0 - 6.4 average in all subjects and no below expectations in approaches to learning skills.

3. Director's Honor Roll Award- given to students with a 6.5 and above average in all subjects, and no below expectations for ATL Skills.
