Behind the Shield

The stories behind why students received their Silver Shield awards

Behind+the+Shield

Each year, faculty and staff members are allowed to select one student to honor with the Silver Shield award. The teacher is tasked with finding a student who best represents what it means to be a Spartan to them.

Thursday night was the ceremony where students found out who selected them for their award, but we spoke with some of the teachers to give them a chance to explain in more depth and detail why they selected their student.
