WESTFIELD – Westfield High School has announced the Junior Awards for the Class of 2021. Principal Chuck Jendrysik said the awards are typically presented in an end-of-year ceremony.
Jendrysik said the College and University Book Awards have eligibility requirements that are determined by the College or University that is giving the award. In addition to this, each of the academic departments select students to receive departmental awards from their department if they have been the most exceptional student in the Class. This is voted on by the teachers of each department.
“We have a lot of amazing students. To be recognized for any of these awards, truly is outstanding,” Jendrysik said.
