FDSH Holds Academic Award Night: Recognizes 138 Students for Academic Achievement

Fort Dodge Senior High held an Academic Award Night on Thursday, November 10, to recognize students for outstanding academic achievement. The Academic Letter program recognizes students who have earned a 3.5 or higher grade point average for two consecutive terms. The first time students achieve this accomplishment they receive the Academic Letter and each additional time they achieve a 3.5 grade point average for two consecutive terms they receive a bar to put on their letters. 

FDSH honored 77 students with their Academic Letter at this event.  In addition, 36 students earned their first bar and 25 additional students earned their second bars.

“The Academic Letter program honors and recognizes our students’ academic achievements,” said Matt Elsbecker, assistant principal. “It provides us an opportunity to celebrate the successes our students are experiencing in the classroom.”
