24th Annual School Counts! Recognition Ceremony Held April 23rd
The 24th School Counts! Recognition ceremony was held on April 23rd in the Frank Guaracini, Jr. Fine and Performing Arts Center honoring students on track for their 4th School Counts! Certificate.
By achieving the School Counts! benchmarks, the students have demonstrated that they are reliable, do quality work, do more than expected, and finish what they start. These are all characteristics which will assist them with succeeding in life. The concept is that if students demonstrate the four characteristics of attendance, rigor, quality and persistence, they will earn a certificate which indicates they are ready for work. Over 400 businesses participate in the School Counts! Scholarship Program and are eager to support the program through the School Counts! Golf Classic, the annual themed fundraiser each year, and individual and business support.
High school students who earn four consecutive School Counts! certificates from participating high schools, and are Cumberland County residents are eligible to receive a two-year scholarship to Rowan College of South Jersey Cumberland Campus.
To earn a School Counts! certificate, students must have:
a 95% or better attendance record; a grade of C+ or higher in every course; completed Algebra I; be scheduled to graduate from high school on time.
Congratulations students for being on track to receive the School Counts! Scholarship. For more information about the School Counts! Scholarship Program, visit our page on School Counts!
