Congratulations to to the October Students of the Month!

Selected recently for their efforts during the month of October are 9th Graders - Kayci Faulkingham and Daniel Groening; 10th Graders - Lauren Blood and Matthew Kelley; 11th Graders - Zoe Deans and Charlie Lagerbom; 12th Graders - Katy King and Shane Alley.  In an effort to help raise student aspirations at Belfast Area High School, the staff instituted a “Student of the Month” program, beginning in April of 2011.  This program will recognize a boy and a girl at each grade level based on teacher nominations, with subsequent voting by all staff.  The CORE Mission Statement of the school will provide the criteria for selection: a clear and effective communicator, a self-directed and life-long learner, a creative and practical problem solver, a responsible and involved citizen, a collaborative and quality worker, and an integrative and informative thinker. The students will receive a t-shirt, a certificate of recognition, and enjoy a pizza luncheon with the Principal. Additionally, each student will have his or her picture prominently displayed in the school lobby and on the school’s web site.
