Thirteen Queensbury High School students were named Students of the Quarter during a breakfast ceremony on Thursday, Dec. 5.
Student of the Quarter recognizes students for their character as well as their academic success. Principal Andrew Snide quoted former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden, who said, “Be more concerned with your character rather than your reputation, because your character is really what you are while your reputation is merely what others think of you.”
Snide thanked the parents who attended the ceremony for instilling positive character traits in their children. Superintendent of Schools Kyle Gannon also lauded the parents for their leadership and guidance.
“This is a day where you get a chance to be really proud of yourselves, parents,” Gannon said, “and kids, be proud of yourselves as well, because you did it. You’re our best. You’re the cream of the crop.”
