GHS Students Place 9th in Illinois in Youth Science and Engineering
Tradition of Excellence Award goes to students who excel in science and engineering.
The Geneva School District 304's Tradition of Excellence Award goes to students who excel in any number of areas, from athletics to academics to community service.
But among the areas of excellence, there's something special about the categories of science and engineering. In a world where those two endeavors become increasingly important, and when American education is so often criticized for producing too few leaders, it is good to know that Geneva values and promotes science and engineering studies.
Geneva High School Associate Principal Doug Drexler announced the winners at Monday night's School Board meeting, but the memo came from Principal Tom Rogers.
