As you know, high school Senior Kaden Tennant, one of 27 Honorees for The Post-Star’s 2021 Teen Excellence Awards, was recognized in The Post Star and will be highlighted in a special section featuring all 2021 Teen Excellence Award honorees that should be published on Wednesday, March 3, 2021.
In years past the Teen Excellence awardees would be honored at a breakfast with their families and those individuals who recommended them for the award. We all know this year has been different in so many ways. Instead of a breakfast Kaden was honored here in the building with his classmates and Ms. Carlson and Mrs. Humiston all in attendance.
Congratulations Kaden!
The Teen Excellence Award goes beyond academics and athletics. The award strives to identify outstanding young people between the ages of 13 and 19 who have demonstrated personal growth, leadership and innovation, along with a commitment to the community.
Beginning in October, teachers, coaches, youth group leaders, church leaders, educational administrators and employers were invited to nominate teens. The nominees are students believed to be the young leaders of tomorrow and serve as exceptional role models in their schools, jobs, communities and beyond.
