This year we have made significant changes to our student recognition program here at Enterprise High School. Student recognition adds an important component to our school culture. A school culture that values hard work and effort is a school that is successful.

We now recognize a student of the month from ten separate departments, from performing arts to physical education. Each student has their picture placed in our new student of the month display case located in the main hall across from the main office. These ten students are then invited to a catered lunch and interviewed by a panel of teachers, administrators, and peers. The student that receives the highest score on the scoring rubric is our Rotary Club student of the month. This honor allots the student the opportunity to have lunch with the Rotary Club, their parent(s)/guardians, and Principal Mr. Peterson. During lunch they are introduced to address the Rotary Club, receive a plaque and given fifty dollars.

In addition to the changes to the Rotary Student of the month, we have added the “Hustling Hornet”. The “Hustling Hornet” is a laminated business card(s) that all staff members have in their possession and use to recognize students that go above and beyond expectations in action and words. When a staff member witnesses a hustling hornet they award the student with the Hornet card, the student then comes into the office on Mondays or Fridays to redeem the card for an assortment of gifts. So far this quarter fifty cards have been awarded by staff to our students. The changes are well worth it for the student body and the staff continues to look for opportunities to reward students who do their best on our campus.
