Staff Report

If it’s March, it must be time for the presentation of Perry Awards. Each winter, teachers nominate students who they feel are performing in class to the best of their abilities. They may not have the highest grade average in class, but they care about their education and work hard. The awards were established years ago by railroad man George W. Perry, who established a trust to fund the annual gifts presented to freshmen, sophomores and juniors. Here are this year’s student recipients and the nominating teachers’ subject area:
