Seniors and their families from across the Antelope Valley filled the AV Fairgrounds’ Van Dam Pavilion on May 21 as we recognized student excellence at the 4.0 Student Recognition Ceremony! Over 800 students from our local schools in the district, in addition to Palmdale Aerospace Academy and Desert Christian High School, were honored during the celebration. A number of scholarships were raffled to students in attendance, with the majority of prizes ranging from $2,500 to $5,000. The largest prizes awarded at the end of the night earned two students $10,000 and one lucky student with $20,000.

Congratulations to our brilliant and hardworking students! With just one week of school to go, we are beaming with pride as we prepare to send off the Class of 2026 during graduation!
