“Although the pandemic prevents us from being able to celebrate this recognition together and in-person as part of our entire conference award ceremony, I really wanted to make sure our Badger Conference Top Senior Scholars hear how proud we are of each of them in their accomplishments and future plans,” Fort Atkinson High School principal Dan Halvorsen said during the scholarship program livestreamed for family and the public to view.
“On behalf of myself and the entire Fort Atkinson High School staff, we would like to congratulate and thank each of you for the tremendous accomplishments you have all achieved,” he added. “For your families, we would like to also recognize and thank them for the effort and dedication they have put in to help create such great students that we are fortunate enough to get to work with every day.”
