Youth Recognition Awards - Outstanding Seniors

Today, the Youth Services and Education Awards Committee recognized 2 outstanding seniors from each of the five Appleton high schools and 1 from Valley New School.    The recipients of these awards were chosen by these schools to recognize students for their superior academic achievement, demonstrated leadership qualities, a striving for excellence, high ethical standards and service to others through involvement in school, church and community activities.  These students bring new meaning to the word “balance”.  They are athletes, musicians, writers, actors, leaders, community servants and of course students.   Congratulations to the following recipients:
