[May 18, 2015]  MOUNT PULASKI - In Mount Pulaski, a total of 68 students were recognized Tuesday night in the Ed Butkovich Gymnasium, according to Honors Night Coordinator Melanie Hinson. The students not only received departmental honors and awards, but also special recognition for a number of achievements.

Among those achievements recognized was the WYSE Academic Team that participated in state competition this year. Also the DAR Good Citizen Award went to Elizabeth Allen. While Julia Beccue received special attention for the IHSA All Academic Team. Beccue was one of 26 students who was chosen state-wide out of 500 applicants for this prestigious honor.

In addition to the awards, several students were presented with scholarships from the community. A number of students were also recognized for scholarship money they will be receiving from their chosen colleges.

All in all it was a very impressive evening for these young people of Mount Pulaski High School.

The evening was also a chance for the students to see the comedic side of their teachers. Many of the faculty who took to the podium tried to outdo each other in the humor department. No awards were given but there were lots of laughs.

On a serious note though, the student's success is certainly a reflection of the fine faculty and staff of Mount Pulaski High School.
