ARIS Award Assembly January 2021

"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.
