Prudential Spirit of Community Awards
he Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program is the United States' largest youth recognition program based exclusively on volunteer community service.
Created in 1995 by Prudential and the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), the program honors middle level and high school students for outstanding service to others at the local, state and national level.
Thus far, it has recognized more than 125,000 young people who've made a difference - and inspired countless others to consider how they might contribute to their communities.
Award Levels:
Local Honorees receive a Certificate of Achievement from their schools or organization. Those Local Honorees who qualify (26 hours of service for ages 10 and younger, 50 hours for ages 11-15, and 100 hours for older students) also receive the President's Volunteer Service Award.
Distinguished Finalists receive an engraved bronze medallion, and other state-level runners-up receive Certificates of Excellence.
State Honorees receive an award of $1,000, an engraved silver medallion, and an all-expense-paid trip with a parent or guardian to Washington, D.C., for national recognition events.
National Honorees receive an additional award of $5,000, an engraved gold medallion, a trophy for their schools or nominating organizations, and a $5,000 grant from The Prudential Foundation for a nonprofit charitable organization of their choice.
Applications are now open for 2019 awards. Here's how it works:
- By November 6, 2018, students must submit their completed applications, and signed student/parent agreements, to a certifier. (Certifiers can be school principals or the head of a county 4-H organization, Girl Scout council, American Red Cross chapter, YMCA or affiliate of Points of Light's HandsOn Network.)
- By November 16, 2018, certifiers select and certify top applicants for state-level judging.
- On February 5, 2019, The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards announces state-level winners for 2019.

Governor's Scholar
Now is the time to begin thinking about and preparing for the 2018 Governor's Scholars Program. This is for rising juniors. If selected, the summer prior to their senior year, students spend six weeks on the campus of one our state universities. Additionally, once they graduate from Cooper, the majority, if not all of the tuition cost is covered for four years at most state universities. This is a competitive program so it is essential that proper preparation is done in compiling the application, including giving plenty of time for strong teacher recommendations.
For more information and to get started,

By taking this important assessment in your 9th and 10th grade years, it is a great practice for when it really counts as an 11th grader. Have your child stop by the Counseling office today to reserve their spot!
Cost: $20
Registration Deadline: Friday, September 28th
Test Date: Wed.,October 10th

PSAT Practice Tools
In preparation for those students in grades 9-11 signing up to take the PSAT on October 11 we wanted to pass along resources to practice before the exam. The PSAT is the preferred test of the Governor's Scholar Program although they will accept the ACT or the higher score of either test. In order to qualify for selection as a National Merit Scholar, the PSAT is the qualifying test.
