The college recognized dozens of outstanding students selected by faculty and coaches for their academic and athletic achievements. Many of the awards went to students who completed a technical certificate, participated in Phi Theta Kappa honor society, or completed a workplace education experience. The athletic teams, all of which competed into the regional playoffs this year, also named most valuable players, most improved players, and academic honorees.
