Greetings River Community,
Winter will be upon on us soon and with a break in the seasons we have some outstanding accomplishments to share.
Yesterday we honored the achievements of 27 Juniors and 43 Seniors at our Varsity Academic Awards Ceremony. The picture attached captures a few dozen of those recognized individuals.
The Varsity Academic Awards Program was started 18 years ago by a group of Columbia River High School students. The program recognizes students who have consistently shown a high regard for academics, citizenship and involvement in our school community.
Students must meet the following criteria:
- Junior or Senior in good standing at Columbia River High School with no truancies or disciplinary referrals
- Hold a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher based on four semesters of high school
- Participated in a Columbia River High School Associated Student Body club or organization for at least one semester or compete in at least one sport for at least one full season
We are so proud of these and all of our River students who work so hard and represent our community so well.
It is a pure joy to work with the students and Faculty at River. As we enter the season of gratitude, I wish you joy and encourage you to reflect on how amazing our River students truly are.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break,
Alex Otoupal – Principal
