St. John the Evangelist Students in Attleboro Recognized for Academic Achievements

St. John the Evangelist School in Attleboro recently held its honors night to recognize SJE's students who achieved high honors and made honor roll throughout the year.

Along with honor and high honor students, SJE students were also recognized for having the highest grade point average in each subject.

The Presidential Award, which is signed by President Barack Obama, is given to students who maintain an "A" average and whose standardized achievement test scores in math or reading are in the 85th percentile or higher.  A total of 27 sixth- grade students were inducted into the National Junior Honor Society.

The competition for academic awards is strict and in many instances, only tenths of a point separate the top students. In addition, more than $3,000 in scholarship money was awarded to students for their achievements at SJE and service.

Non-Academic awards were presented to students who had shown dedication or talent in a particular area.
