An awards oversight committee, made up of a cross-section of teachers, staff members and students, will oversee the selection process. Award recipients will be notified in May.

• Engagement: Show up for peers
• Spirit: Foster spirit on campus
• Inclusion: Connect with peers on campus
• Care: Show care for peers, teachers, staff, & our campus
