CHS Senior Awards 2024

This evening, amidst the cheers and pride of the Hurricanes community, I had the honor of participating in another senior awards ceremony, this time the 2024 Citrus High School Senior Awards ceremony, showcasing the dedication and excellence of our CHS graduating seniors.

The CHS seniors were not only applauded for their academic prowess but also celebrated with over $234,000 in local scholarships and grants, and $2.7 million in accepted offerings. These financial awards symbolize the investment our community makes in nurturing the talents and aspirations of our students, ensuring they have the resources needed to succeed beyond high school.

The event was a showcase of achievements, with students proudly wearing their Cum Laude and NHS stoles, Honor cords, and other symbols of academic distinction. These recognitions underscore the high standards of achievement that are a hallmark of the Hurricanes’ educational journey.

Among the evening’s highlights was the 2024 CHS Hall of Fame Recognition honored individuals whose contributions have left a lasting impact on the CHS community, embodying the values of leadership, excellence, and service, followed by the crowning of Mr. and Miss Citrus High School, from the Hall of Fame students. These awards are a testament to the well-rounded education CHS provides, emphasizing not just academic success but also the importance of integrity and community engagement.

Additionally, the ceremony honored the students who enlisted in our U.S. Armed Forces, recognizing their commitment to serving our country. A letter from Congressman Gus Bilirakis, read by Citrus Congressional Aide David Halbstein, conveyed gratitude and admiration for these graduating students’ and patriotic dedication.

The success of the CHS Senior Awards ceremony is a reflection of the collaborative efforts of our dedicated educators, administrators, staff, and supportive community members. Together, they create an environment where students can thrive academically, personally, and socially. To the CHS seniors and their families, I offer my heartfelt congratulations on this well-deserved recognition. As you prepare to embark on new adventures, remember the values and lessons learned as Hurricanes – resilience, determination, and a spirit of excellence. Here’s to the future leaders, innovators, and changemakers of tomorrow – the CHS Hurricanes, forging a path of success and making waves wherever they go!
