It’s great to see there are students achieving success in their studies amidst the corruption and power grabbing the administration is involved in. Congratulations to each one!
I’m seeing we have some good schools (excellence awards) and good students (this award) here in Humboldt. Nice work parents and school staff!
A student who works hard and succeeds deserves a lot of recognition. But to all the students who either didn’t work so hard, followed their own path or missed getting recognized when they did work hard, don’t worry about it. There’s a whole lot of life that happens outside of school. In fact, most of life is outside of it. School is just to set you up for opportunity. The best to all of them, the recognized and unrecognized alike.
