We only did the Excellence in English, Math, etc. awards in middle school.

Our HS awards event was always on the Senior's last day of school. It was in our auditorium at like 1:00. Parents were invited and seniors were dismissed after that (which was YAY because Prom was that NIGHT and we spent all day running around and being all OMGPROM!!!!")

It was weird because our awards ceremony was mandatory for ALL seniors, whether you were getting awards or not.

They formally announced the Top 10 (even though we were notified of our rankings every week and already knew), the Manhood/Womanhood Awards (think the Oscar, highest award at our HS. Your pic goes in the hallway in a frame forever lol), The big senior athlete award that I forgot, and a few other things.

They also announced who would graduate with honors/NHS.

Another thing they did was announce what colleges the Top 10, Honors, etc. grads would be attended and would note if the student would be receiving a presitigious or large scholarship.

I will admit that yes, it probably sucked to have to attend when if you were Steve Stoner who had a 2.5 and never cared about that kind of stuff. Or if you just found out like 2 days ago that you got edged out of the Top 10 because of your final grades and Suzie Topten got into your dream school when you didn't. But that's life.
