The Elite 20 is a group of senior students annually chosen by the teachers of the senior class based on four criteria; Academics, Leadership, Character, and Service. The students, in turn, choose the one teacher throughout their K-12 experience who has had the most influence on them.
The Alumni Association hosts a banquet for the Elite 20 Seniors and the teachers whom they have chosen, along with parents and administrators. At the banquet the students give a short explanation about why they chose their teacher, and both student and teacher are presented with certificates.
This page documents recipients of the Elite 20 recognition since the program’s inception in 2013.
