    The award was named and established at the time when there were Deans in the High School administration. Staff members representing each curriculum nominate a student each month for the Deans’ list. Students who are nominated receive a commemorative pen and award certificate, and are recognized at the monthly Deans’ breakfast. The following are some criteria that guide teacher nominations:
    • Being responsible
    • Diligent/hardworking
    • Positive attitude towards their classmates as well as their teachers
    • Kind, empathetic, or helpful to another student
    • Helpful to a staff member
