Big Walnut High School Honors Night

On Tuesday, May 28th Big Walnut High School hosted its annual Awards and recognition night.

With over seventy different awards and categories, covering grades nine through twelve, awards and scholarships were given for everything from perfect attendance, youth service, leadership, the arts and music, and high academic achievement.

Many of the awards carried coveted scholarship money. Of note, graduating senior Dora Riggs was awarded the Shidecker Memorial Scholarship, providing $4,000 each year over the next four years of college.

Kenda Albertson, Carol Fox, and Sara Loscko each were awarded scholarship sums of $2,200 per year for a four year total.

Perhaps the biggest coup for the year, not only for a student, but also for Big Walnut High School itself, was the Franklin B. Walters Outstanding Student Award given to Julie Boye. Each year that award goes to one outstanding student selected from among all Delaware County schools.
