Student of the Month Program 2020-2021
The Student of the Month recognition program was developed in 2017 to honor students who exhibit Highlander traits. We believe recognizing students for their personal character and extra efforts makes for a stronger SP Highlander culture and honors the student’s academic, social and emotional development in becoming their best selves in the three phases of student life. Every other month, teachers and staff members recognize multiple students in a variety of criteria listed below. Since the program’s inception, we have acknowledged nearly 1200 of our children and formed stronger relationship with them and their families. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the recognition ceremonies will be VIRTUAL this year and will be posted on the Shadle webpage.
