2008 Scholastic Award Winners
“Love of Learning is the Guide of Life”
On May 18, 2008, Phi Beta Kappa Cleveland held its Annual Scholastic Awards Banquet.
On Sunday, May 18th, 2008, the Cleveland Association of Phi Beta Kappa recognized 110 outstanding graduating seniors from high schools across Northeast Ohio. This Annual Scholastic Awards Banquet, hosted by the Cleveland Association of Phi Beta Kappa, was held at Executive Caterers at Landerhaven. The faculty of each high school selected the Scholastic Award recipients based on academic achievement and scholarship (including maintaining a grade point average in the top 10% of the class). This Award is considered by many to be one of the most prestigious honors a high school student can receive. Each student’s name will be engraved on the Phi Beta Kappa plaque that is permanently displayed at each school.
As it does each year at this banquet, the Cleveland Association of Phi Beta Kappa awarded a renewable four-year scholarship. This years recipient was Mr. Raymond Flores from St. Ignatius High School. And the Association again presented a second scholarship, sponsored by The Jones Day Foundation, to the winner of an essay competition. The winner was Ms. Carolyn Marie Aldana from Magnificat High School.
The winners were accompanied by parents, guests, teachers, and guidance counselors during the awards ceremony. The keynote address was presented by Dr. Jerry Sue Thorton, the President of Cuyahoga Community College. Dr. Thorton delivered an excellent talk filled with guiding words and inspirtional tales.
