![Benjamin Williams and Reese Sherman, social studies teachers, explain department information a guest. "This [open house] was, for me, a great opportunity to meet family in the district that will soon be attending the high school," Williams said.](https://www.utimesonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/DSC_9117-1200x800.jpg)
Every year, students that have exemplified academic excellence are honored at the end of May. This year was a little bit different; instead of just honors being awarded, a dinner was also served. Andre’s Banquets and Catering provided the meal for this year’s ceremony. There were mixed reviews about the meal served at the ceremony. The event ended with the Instructional Team Leaders in each department distributing the Department Awards.
