90+Celebration
View Award Recipients by School
In area public schools, the W.E.B. Du Bois Society works to motivate students towards higher academic ambition and bolster the climate in schools to support stronger student outcomes.
The purpose of the program is to motivate the habits, mindset, and skills in students that lead to academic success by recognizing and rewarding students for persisting, progressing and sustaining achievement.
During the school year, the W.E.B. Du Bois Society engages local media personalities, athletes, public figures and community and business leaders to join with school leaders to celebrate, honor and reward these students for their efforts. Bulletin boards hung throughout the school feature recognized students and feature stories are included on the school’s Web site and in school newsletters.
With applause, cheers, prizes, and lots of fanfare, 90+Celebration helps to reinforce the connection between individual behaviors — hard work and dedication — and students' academic success.
