Hampden Charter School of Science held its annual Pass the Baton Luncheon from the Class of 2024 to the Class of 2025. Hampden Charter School of Science is proud to recognize students who demonstrate our core values and who strive for academic excellence. This year we were excited to acknowledge 34 students who achieved greatness in a number of ways. Students in the following categories were awarded Apple MacBook computers to help them continue their academic pursuits in college and beyond:
Distinguished Scholar Award: 4.0 GPA, Tier 1 University acceptance, 1250 or higher SAT
Meritorious Scholar Award: Top 50 College acceptance
Distinctive Scholar Award: 3.75 or higher GPA, Tier 1 acceptance, above state average SAT
Outstanding Academic Excellence Award: Ivy League College Acceptance
In addition to the awards honoring our Seniors, HCSS had seven Juniors honored with “College Book Awards”. Every year colleges recognize outstanding Juniors who exemplify academic success, character, respect, and achievement. Juniors are nominated by their school and selected students receive a book chosen by the awarding college. It is a great honor to be nominated and selected – this year we were pleased to have Book Awards from: Harvard University, Dartmouth College, Western New England University, St. Josephs University, Salem State University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Suffolk University.
We hope to be able to recognize and reward many more students in the years to come.
