A “People’s Choice Award” is given to a student who has made a difference to a staff member in some positive manner.
Each of the LRHSD high schools will soon host a “People’s Choice Awards” ceremony sponsored by their school’s Renaissance Club.
According to district officials, unlike most award ceremonies that honor highest achievers, a People’s Choice Award is given to a student who has made a difference to a staff member in some positive manner.
Officials describe a variety of reasons that a student may be chosen, such as being a hard worker, a peer leader, most improved, enthusiastic or something as simple as making each day a little brighter.
According to the district, the chosen students will have the opportunity at their school’s ceremony to hear the reason why the staff member nominated them, with the student then presented with a medallion that is worn at their future graduation ceremony.
All ceremonies are open to the public and will occur at the following dates, times and locations:
· Lenape High School will hold the event on Thursday, May 3, at 7 p.m. at 235 Hartford Road in Medford.
· Shawnee High School will hold the event on Tuesday, May 8, at 7 p.m. at 600 Tabernacle Road in Medford.
· Seneca High School will hold the event on Thursday, May 17, at 7 p.m. at 110 Carranza Road in Tabernacle.
· Cherokee High School will hold the event on Tuesday, May 22, at 7 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center located at 130 Tomlinson Mill Road in Marlton.
