Student Recognition Banquet

On Wednesday, June 3rd, 2015, students were acknowledged in front of peers and faculty for their hard work over the past academic year at the annual Student Recognition Banquet.
Students provided fantastic entertainment for the evening in the form of a musical group, The Nightshades, and a Chinese Lion Dance set to traditional drums.

During the Recognition Banquet, each class presented videos and slideshows of the 2014-15 academic year. Individuals from each class also submitted videos for a Lip Syncing Competition. Songs included N*SYNC’s “Bye, Bye, Bye” and Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off,” among others. The winning group, P2s Matthew Thomas, Shiela McCollom, and Jack Barker, got the audience laughing with their rendition of Tenacious D’s “Tribute.”
