Shelton High School honored 155 CAPT Scholars at a breakfast on Thursday, Oct. 24.
These students achieved goal on the Math, Reading Across the Disciplines, Writing Across the Disciplines and Science sections of the Connecticut Academic Performance Test.
Mrs. Kathy Riddle, Guidance Curriculum Leader, planned the breakfast. Parents were invited to share in the festivities.
Mrs. Riddle commented, “Over the last few years less than thirty percent of sophomores tested in the state of Connecticut achieved certification in all four subject areas. We are very proud to be able to celebrate with you your success on the CAPT test as well as your continued commitment to high academic achievement here at Shelton High School.”
Dr. Beth Smith, Headmaster, addressed and congratulated the students.
She commented, “At Shelton High School we believe it is important to celebrate student achievement and to gather as a learning community, with students, staff, administration, parents, board of education members, and Central Office personnel, to recognize those students who have met the standards as stated in our mission statement.”
She challenged students to continue to be diligent with their studies and set high, achievable goals for themselves. Dr. Smith presented each student with a certificate from the Connecticut State Department of Education.
