The 37th Annual Clinton Society for Academic Excellence Awards Ceremony was held yesterday evening (4.16) in the Clinton High School Gymnasium.
Academic Excellence celebrates students who have achieved a 3.5 or higher grade point average for the current school year.
The Clinton Alumni Association presented Bill Albin (deceased) with the 2025 Distinguished Alumni Award. Presenting the Award was one of Albin’s two daughters, Robin Wells.
This year, students are being honored at CHS and Clinton Christian Academy, including 92 graduating seniors from both schools. There are also 45 seniors at CHS, and three at CCA that achieved Academic Excellence for all four years in high school.
Students are recognized with a medal and a different color ribbon, depending on what year of school they are currently in. Seniors that achieve Academic Excellence all four years receive a larger medal with a gold ribbon. Those ribbons for CHS were presented last night…CCA ribbons will be awarded next month at their end-of-year ceremonies.
This past Monday on the Chamber’s Facebook page, from entries received, the Chamber randomly selected our five scholarship winners…four from CHS and one from CCA. Those scholarships are worth $500 each. The four from CHS include SAMUEL BAUGHMAN…CHELSI BERRY…ABIGAIL DUTCHER AND EVAN MANTONYA . THE SCHOLARSHIP WINNER FROM CCA WAS ARIC WILSON.
To the students, parents, facility and administration, our sponsors of Academic Excellence, and others…we would like to thank these folks for their continued support of the Clinton Chamber’s Academic Excellence program.
