Inspiring Excellence/Hamilton Awards

Each Spring, the top ranking Seniors are asked to write a short essay about their favorite teacher, coach or staff member from Fairport Harbor School District from grade K-12.  The students are asked to focus on how this person inspired them, encouraged them or supported them during their educcation.  The names are removed and essays are judged by a panel of judges, typically the members of the academic boosters.  A catered dinner is hosted for the selected seniors and all of the teachers & staff.  After dinner each student reads their essay and is given an Inispiring Excellence Medal to wear at graduation and each coach/teacher/staff member that was honored is given a token of appreciation from the school.  It is a very special night for our seniors, their families and our staff.
