Student Recognition Program

Tantasqua's Student Recognition Program acknowledges the academic and civic achievement of our students. Parents and students are welcomed to join the advisory committee to aid in the planning, preparation, and implementation of program activities. The goals of the program aim to celebrate student academic and civic achievement at a variety of levels.

The "Student of the Quarter" activity honors approximately 100 students per term for their achievement. Broad selection criteria include academic effort, class attendance, participation, academic progress, and citizenship. Each faculty member selects one student to recognize and that student with his or her parents is invited to a morning breakfast to celebrate their accomplishment.

The administration and the faculty congratulate the following “Students of the Quarter”:

Past “Students of the Quarter”

The "Principals Luncheon" honors those individuals earning straight "A's" or highest honors each quarter. Students are treated to a special lunch with the school administration. Students receive a written letter of acknowledgement highlighting their achievement.


"Senior of the Month" is an award given to seniors who demonstrate outstanding character through their leadership and citizenship at school. These students receive a letter of commendation and special parking privileges as an added reward for their efforts. The Sturbridge Rotary Club also honors these students at a dinner held in June each year.

The "Academic Awards Banquet" is a yearly activity celebrating the achievement of those individuals who have consistently made the honor roll and those individuals who receive special awards for academic excellence. Students are honored at a banquet dinner with parents, teachers, and school and community leaders. This is the culminating event of the school year held in early June.


"Birthdays of the Months" recognizes every member of the student body. In a large school, it is easy for students to become "lost in the crowd." By acknowledging each student's birthday with cake and ice cream, we are able to bring a more personal touch to our school program. We are committed to the academic and emotional development of our students.


"Honor Roll Posters" are displayed in several locations throughout the school. We are proud of the accomplishments of our students and believe that it is important to acknowledge the effort and motivation required to attain honor roll status. Click here to view the current honor roll posters.


"Perfect Attendance" is recognized at the end of each semester. Students' names are prominently displayed in the school. We believe that consistent, daily attendance to school is critical in the academic growth of the individual. By coming to school consistently, students gain the full benefit of the high school experience.
