RE: Jack Frost Citizen of the Month

The Jack Frost Citizen of the Month Award is presented to deserving high school seniors. This award is named after former superintendent Jack Frost in honor of his leadership in guiding the Georgetown Independent School District and for encouraging each student to become the best he/she can be. This award is truly an honor and recognizes those who best live up to Jack Frost’s motto: “A positive attitude is the key to it all.”

One senior boy and one senior girl are chosen each school calendar month by a selection committee. The committee is composed of one faculty advisor and five senior classmates. The selection committee usually meets the first of each month and picks the recipients. A new selection committee is appointed each semester. A senior may be the recipient of this award only once. Juniors who have enough credits to be classified as a senior are eligible for this award.

The guidelines for selecting recipients are as follows:

  1. Must be a current senior;
  2. Must encourage other students;
  3. Must respect teachers and peers;
  4. Must be a positive role model both on campus and off;
  5. Must make a positive contribution to EVHS; and
  6. Must strive to reach his/her potential in all areas.

THIS AWARD IS BASED ON CITIZENSHIP WITHIN EVHS ON ACADEMICS, SOCIAL, EXTRA-CURRICULAR AND SERVICE ACTIVITIES.

The selection committee encourages all seniors to apply for this award by completing the attached application and returning it to Mrs. Ray or Mrs. Stephens. Once you have completed and turned in the application form, the form will remain on file for the school year and will be considered each month, along with other applications.

Most people find that few successes are due to simple talent, luck, and personal goals. Many people have helped you across the years to help you become the person that you are today. In addition to your parents, neighbors, community and religious leaders, many teachers have made a difference in your life. Since this award is sponsored by GISD and in honor of a former teacher, coach and superintendent, we ask you to choose one teacher who has inspired you within our district. Please indicate that choice here:
