Each school year, ten (eleven for Class of 2005) S.T.A.R. Awards are bestowed upon senior students who exemplify the criteria attributes of the S.T.A.R. It is an honor to be considered for this prestigious award since it is the capstone of a student's high school career. The awards are presented at the Candlelight Senior Farewell Ceremony.
