Second-quarter smarties celebrated

Smiling student shows their honor roll certificate to parent

William S. Hackett Middle School recognized a total of 284 academic superstars Wednesday at a second-quarter Honor Roll Ceremony that was completely student-led.

There were 98 sixth graders, 85 seventh graders and 101 eighth graders recognized. Honor roll status consists of a 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.

Seventh-grader Grace Fruehwirth emceed the event, and student representatives from the six teams announced their classmates as they walked across stage to collect their certificate. 

Take a look at a Facebook photo album from the ceremony(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.”)
