Students excel during first quarter

Everyone wore face masks and stayed apart. There was a separate ceremony for each grade with guests limited to two per student. And the traditional handshake was replaced by an elbow bump.

With these safety measures in place, Hackett Middle School celebrated the 354 students who made first quarter honor roll. Sixth graders were recognized Tuesday and seventh and eighth graders were honored Wednesday in the auditorium. 

Honor roll consists of gold, silver or bronze designation. Gold represents an average of 95 or above, silver represents an average of 90 or above and bronze represents an average of 85 or above.

Take a look at Facebook photo albums from the sixth grade, seventh grade and eighth grade ceremonies. (You don't need a Facebook account to see the photos linked in the highlighted text. A window may appear that says, "To see more from Albany City Schools on Facebook, log on or create an account,” but you can dismiss it by clicking “not now.”)

See Honor Roll students listed below in alphabetical order by grade, team and award designation. Congratulations to all!
