Red Creek High School Celebrates Student Achievement at Awards Ceremony

Red Creek High School students were honored for their achievements during the 2025-26 school year at the academic awards ceremony, held on Thursday, May 21 in the auditorium.

The evening began with welcoming remarks from Dr. Maggie Bristol, High School Assistant Principal.

“Evenings like this serve as a meaningful reminder of how fortunate we are to be part of such a dedicated and supportive school community, and how lucky we are to have the incredible faculty and staff who work each day to encourage, support, and inspire our students,” said Bristol.

Following the opening remarks, students took the stage to receive awards presented by administration and staff from each academic department.

After the presentations concluded, Jennifer DeVinney, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, addressed attendees and commended students, staff, and families for their continued support.

“To our students, thank you for showing what dedication, perseverance, and strong work ethic look like each day,” said DeVinney. “You are shaping your futures and setting an example for others in our school community. To our families, teachers, and staff, thank you for the encouragement, support, and guidance you provide to our students each day. Student success is always strengthened by a community that believes in our students.
