William S. Hackett Middle School celebrated a total of 341 academic superstars Wednesday at a first-quarter Honor Roll ceremony that was completely student-led.
There were 102 sixth graders, 117 seventh graders and 122 eighth graders recognized. Honor roll status consists of a gold, silver or bronze designation. Gold represents an average of 95 or above, silver represents an average of 90 or above and bronze represents an average of 85 or above.
It was the first time, Hackett's honor roll ceremony was hosted by students. Eighth grader Celine Casasola emceed the event, and student representatives from the six teams announced their classmates as they walked across stage to collect their certificate.
Take a look at a Facebook photo album from the ceremony. (You don't need a Facebook account to see the photos linked in the highlighted text.
