The Carson City School District took time at the School Board meeting Tuesday night to recognize 22 individuals with the “Distinguished Student Award.” The student winners were selected by administrators and recognized from their respective schools as having specific qualities, skills and characteristics that distinguished them.
The award defines the term ‘distinguished’ as something special in a person that can be recognized or identified from others by unique features or characteristics. The word implies any subtle or small differences that are good or honorable that sets one person apart from others. Winners of this award may be identified as good scholars, helpful, on-time, nice, obeying the rules and protecting others.
"It is with immense pride that we recognize and honor the exceptional achievements of these distinguished students," said Andrew Feuling, Carson City School District superintendent. "Their dedication, hard work and unwavering commitment to excellence stands as a testament to the bright future they are creating not only for themselves but also for those with whom they associate.
