HALE- The Hale Area school’s staff gave a special recognition to a few of the many students at the school. They do this by hosting an Academic Excellence Night. Academic Excellence Night is a banquet where selected students and their families come to enjoy dinner and are presented awards for their academic success. The teachers would go in front of the crowd and give a small speech about the students receiving the awards. Although some of the students were not able to attend because they were playing or supporting the Varsity Baseball team playing at Dow Diamond, they were still recognized for their achievements.

As well as the awards given out at the banquet, are scholarships. This year we had a large amount of scholarship providers that we can’t even express how thankful we are for your generosity to help the group of upcoming adults. So again we say thank you to:
