Academic achievement rewarded virtually
Holyoke JR/SR high academic achievement was rewarded in a virtual way Monday, May 11, when students were recognized for excellence in the classroom during the 2019-20 school year as published on YouTube.
National Honor Society members hosted the event. In a change from former procedure, teachers read the names of the students earning awards from them.
