On May 1, 2011, Phi Beta Kappa Cleveland held its Annual Scholastic Awards Banquet.
On Sunday, May 1, 2011, the Cleveland Association of Phi Beta Kappa recognized more than 100 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 also awarded a renewable four-year scholarship.
This years recipient was Mr. Joe Quandt from Solon High School.
The winners were accompanied by parents, guests, teachers, and guidance counselors during the awards ceremony.
Sarah Brown Wessling, 2010 National Teacher of the Year, delivered the keynote
speech, “Worthy Learning: Students Are Worth the Learning that is Worth Doing” at the awards banquet.
Wessling was named 2010 National Teacher of the Year by President Barack Obama.
