Does your HS have a senior recognition/awards night?

The awards ceremony hasn’t happened yet, but some teachers are pre-announcing to their classes who the recipients will be. D was quite upset to learn that the foreign language award for her language just went to a very nice and smart young man, BUT someone who didn’t take the language at the AP level. He opted for the level below instead, and did well. So it’s not that he’s not a good student, but it seems unfair he should get the award over the students who did take AP.
