Turn Around

The Turn Around Student Recognition Program celebrates middle and high school students who demonstrate significant personal growth and improvement. Principals, teachers, and counselors nominate students whose effort and progress stand out.

Areas of Growth

  • Attendance
  • Attitude and fewer disciplinary referrals
  • Academic improvement
  • Citizenship and school involvement

Recognition at School

Honorees receive a celebration meal provided by FUTURES and a certificate signed by the School Board Chair and Superintendent.

Why It Matters

Many Turn Around students have not been recognized in the past. A visible celebration encourages their positive changes and continued growth.
