A senior at Mount Hermon School and an 8th grader at Franklinton High School have been selected as the Washington Parish Students of the Year for 2022.
The Washington Parish School Board recently held an awards ceremony for the High School Student of the Year and the Junior High School Student of the Year. Each high school selected a senior student and each junior high school selected an eighth grade student to represent their schools at the parish level competition.
At both the school level and the parish level, the Guidelines for Selection of Candidates for the Louisiana Students of the Year Awards Program were used to select winners. The four categories for selection included the cumulative grade point average, a portfolio of supporting documents, writing samples, and an interview with the judges.
Each school winner was introduced with a brief commentary and presented a plaque from the Washington Parish School Board by the individual school principal.
The parish winners, Alexis Magee of Mount Hermon School and Braelyn Johnson of Franklinton Junior High School, were also recognized as Washington Parish High School Student of the Year 2022 and the Washington Parish Junior High School Student of the Year 2022. They were presented with an additional plaque by the Parish Superintendent of Schools, Frances Varnado.
