A total of 83 leadership students from High School West were honored Wednesday after earning the NYS Seal of Civic Readiness by successfully completing a Civics Capstone Project.
SCSD Director of Social Studies Charles Benvenuto, along with High School West Leadership advisors Dillon Archer and
Joan Havrenek praised the students and handed out medallions which the students will wear under their gowns at graduation.
Assistant Superintendent Paul Strader, along with High School West Principal John Coady, Assistant Principals Chris Elsesser, Michael Freiberg and AnneMarie Freund were also on hand to celebrate the students.
Some of the projects run by the students included promoting wheelchair access to school playgrounds, increasing school extracurricular activities, addressing our veterans food insecurity crisis and a composting initiative.
The New York State Seal of Civic Readiness is a formal recognition that a student has attained a high level of proficiency in their Social Studies coursework and demonstrated civic engagement. The SCSD pilot program allowed interested seniors to earn the Seal of Civic Readiness on their diploma through the completion of the Civics Capstone.
