• Renaissance Program

    “Teachers have the right to teach, and students have the right to learn.”

    RENAISSANCE is a nation-wide, education-focused movement that is designed to promote and reward academic excellence, good attendance, and citizenship. This program not only recognizes the academically strong, but also those who try to improve themselves. At the end of each semester the students’ records are reviewed to determine eligibility. Renaissance cards are issued twice a year, in September and March, to eligible students based on their records from the previous semester. In addition to other rewards and incentives, eligible students are invited to attend a Renaissance Rally twice a year in recognition of their commitment to academic excellence and community involvement. Below are the criteria for earning a GOLD, BLUE or RED Renaissance Card.
