According to Superintendent of Schools Erica Forti, school principals nominate students for the award based on the students’ “willingness to take on challenges, capability to make difficult decisions, a concern for others, the ability to work with others” and other important qualities becoming of a student leader.
Forti presented the awards to Abigail Brooks, Jonathan Mulero, Antonio Proto, Taya Ragaini, Samantha Schottman, and Chase Wheeler.
