Each year, the Smoke Signal spotlights outstanding seniors through a series of voting rounds by the Senior class and teachers. This year, the Smoke Signal posted a google form in the Senior Class Facebook group for seniors to nominate some of their peers in different areas such as Literary/Visual/Performing Arts, STEM, Leadership, and Community Involvement. After nomination, teachers voted on who they believed should be spotlighted. Each teacher’s vote counted as two points, and each student’s vote counted as one point. The top 18 seniors are featured below.
