Student Recognition and Awards

These awards are given after review and approval by the faculty, staff and administration at an awards ceremony that takes place late in the academic year in order to recognize student achievement. Students receive a plaque or certificate, and their names are inscribed on a permanent plaque displayed publicly at the CDC.

Are recommended by their Program Instructor.

Perfect Attendance

Students with perfect attendance for each semester will be recognized. Perfect attendance means a student has no excused or unexcused absences or school suspensions. Occasionally, cars are made available to the CDC through donation. These cars are raffled off to students as an incentive for perfect attendance.

1. Have a 90% or better average in their CDC program for that quarter.
2. Have no more than 2 days absence for that quarter.
3. Have no discipline referrals either at the CDC or their home school.
