Eveleth-Gilbert Senior High - Gr. 9-12 |
|
The Eveleth-Gilbert National Honor Society, advised by Mr. Kevin Burritt, inducted thirteen new members from the Junior class Wednesday evening May 19. This induction was postponed from the fall because of Covid. The senior members of NHS conducted the ceremony with readings and the traditional candle light reciting of the oath. Through the Faculty Council, the NHS recognizes students with exceptional academic achievements, leadership capabilities, character and their service to the community. This group of students exemplifies those traits. Several parents and family members were in attendance to witness their student’s continued high school achievement. |

Virginia High School - Gr. 7-12 |
|
VHS was able to celebrate the many student accomplishments at the annual Senior High Award Ceremony held on Friday, May 28th. Principal Mrs. Perkovich challenged the presenters to refrain from using some of the words that have become part of our everyday vocabulary. Dare I say them now? COVID, pandemic and masks…oh my! While those words have certainly been ingrained in our minds, we all agreed that it’s time to move forward! We were fortunate that the award ceremony was scheduled on the very day that limitations on indoor gatherings were lifted so parents, grandparents and friends were all able to attend. Athletes, scholarship recipients, military appointments, learners of the semester, and so many more were acknowledged! In total this year, our seniors were awarded over $670,000 in scholarships!
After the ceremony, the festivities continued on the front lawn where the Student Council held their annual BBQ and students received their yearbooks. Hot dog and hamburger baskets were served and bean bags were played as student laughter filled the air. Is there a better way to celebrate the last Friday of the school year? We think not!
Senior and Student Council Co-President Steph Kowalski said, “Getting to have our final awards ceremony and student council barbecue was a great way to finish off the year. The student council has worked extremely hard this year to try and hold together school traditions through all of the COVID restrictions, so getting to put together a normal and fun filled barbecue was the best thing we could have asked for. This, and the awards assembly, brought our senior class together one last time before graduation, and we will be forever grateful for that.”
