Excellence In Education
CLASS OF 2022 EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION AWARDS
The Excellence in Education Banquet for 2021 was not able to be celebrated in person, but the 2022 banquet returned to an in-person event and was held at Orchard Valley Golf Course. This special event honors both the highest achieving academicians graduating from West Aurora High School this spring. The award is dedicated to the recognition of academic accomplishments by the top 5 percent of the graduating senior class and the support from their parents and educators. Each student honored selected the educator who had the biggest impact on his or her scholastic life. These educators include elementary, middle and high school teachers, music and dance instructors, mentors, tutors, coaches and club sponsors.
