According to a news release, the students of the month award program recognizes students who help make Staples High School a welcoming place for their peers and teachers alike. They are the "glue" of the Staples community: the type of kind, cheerful, hard-working, trustworthy students that keep the high school together, making it the special place that it is.

Students of the month are nominated by their teachers, who are asked to think of those students who come to school regularly, are friendly to the staff and to fellow students and make positive contributions in class, as well as the Staples community. In short, these students are all-around good citizens of our school.

Students of the month are not necessarily star athletes, high honor students or lead performers, and even if they are, this award recognizes the positive attitude they bring to school every day in making Staples High School a genial place in which to learn and teach.
