2023 Four Star Awards
The Four Star Awards is the annual event where we take the opportunity to thank all the students who participated in the band programs, making those programs successful. It is also a time to recognize outstanding efforts, award scholarships, and bid farewell to our Seniors. The Four Star Awards for the 2022-2023 school year were held on the evening of May 15.
