(WARRENSBURG, Mo.) — A total of 150 Warrensburg High School students were recently recognized during the Warrensburg Schools Foundation’s 26^th annual Academic Excellence Awards Banquet for reaching the top 15 percent of their graduating class.
Twenty seniors were recognized for reaching and maintaining this level all four years of high school. All students received a medallion, designed especially for this event. The banquet took place on June 19.
During the banquet, the students heard a speech from WHS alumnus, Casey Laws, a fifth-grade teacher at Martin Warren Elementary School. He compared excellence to fire. He reviewed how the students have reached their academic excellence and encouraged the students to avoid the natural decay of a fire by throwing more logs onto their academic fires.
