Standards pay

Ketta Brown Laguna Beach High School PTA

The school year is beginning to wind down. Everyone is breathing an

audible sigh of relief now that testing is behind them. The seniors

are looking forward to their new adventures away from Laguna Beach

High School and the rest of the student population is looking on with

envy. Things are as they should be.

The PTA is currently working on reinstating an academic excellence

recognition program for LBHS. Gold cards for those students with a

3.5 GPA for fall semester have been issued. These provide students

with discounts for purchases at various merchants in town. In

addition, a diligent group of folks is investigating an extra little

“award” for those students. Amazingly, more than 50% of the student

body is eligible for these perks. PTA is funding this in the hopes of

increasing recognition for students who maintain high academic

standards.

On a final note, be sure to peruse the newspaper in early June for

the list of scholarship winners from the senior class. You will be

amazed at the number of recipients and the generosity of our local

community.
