“I’m so proud of our student awardees and all that they’ve accomplished,” Dr. Timothy Wagner, principal, said. “So much effort and energy went into your receiving these awards. Some were being thought about and bestowed upon you and you didn’t even realize. Others of you took a lot of time to apply and were competitive and successful applicants from among many of your peers. For all of these reasons, I couldn’t be more excited for you to be celebrating this evening.”
In addition to celebrating the achievements of students, Dr. Wagner shared his appreciation for the many community partners that support the school’s students year after year.
"What's also notable is how our community partners come together to offer these recognitions each year. To live in a community that pauses to celebrate student achievement, in academics, arts and athletics, is itself something worthy of recognition,” Dr. Wagner said. “The entire faculty and staff of Upper St. Clair High School extends our best wishes to these students and their families, now and in the future."
