The names of 108 seniors were announced Sunday as recipients of academic awards and scholarships totaling more than $1.6 million during the Norwell High School academic honors program.
“These students have worked hard and today they’ll receive the awards they have earned,” said Brent Lehman, who has been the interim principal at NHS since November.
Lehman listed the honor students graduating with distinction (13), with high honor (32), and honor (34). Those receiving academic honors diplomas and technical honors diplomas, plus National Honor Society members, were also noted. Recipients of Golden Shield Awards for excellence in individual subjects were also noted; they received their awards in a ceremony last week.
The program also included community scholarships and awards, Wells County Foundation scholarships, and Norwell Dollars for Scholars recipients.
The program was held in the school’s gymnasium, and the air conditioning was not functional on a day with temperatures in the mid-80s. The ceremony was complete in approximately 90 minutes.
Norwell’s graduation ceremony is Sunday, June 5.
