About May 1st of each year,
the Grand Rapids Lions provides a recognition award to two high
school students from each of the five GR public high schools,
the two Catholic high schools, the Christian high school and East
Grand Rapids high school. The award recipients are selected by
their respective principal and their guidance counselors.
Awards
are given for a combination of academic, athletic and community
service excellence. The students, their principal and the top
administrators of Kent County schools join the Lions for a special
luncheon for lots of recognition, photo ops and awards.
Grand Rapids Lions President Rick Walker presented the 2006
awards.
