Vinal Technical High School Students of the Month for March 2018

Despite a year of late snowstorms and chill, many students here at Vinal have kept up a warm atmosphere of respect, focus, and kindness! These traits, along with good attitude and quality work ethic, qualify students to be officially singled out as a student of the month. Though many students met this criteria for March, in the end only one student per grade level can receive this award. As usual, the staff here at Vinal Technical High School would like to congratulate the winning students for last month, and we encourage all students to continue working hard and striving to become a student of the month themselves! Every student who wins a Student of the Month award receives formal acknowledgement in school and an exclusive breakfast invitation.The winners for March as as follows.
