Percy Julian and Prattville high schools have each nominated an outstanding senior to be considered for Student of the Week, and voting is now open.
Student of the Week honors the hard work that high school students across the River Region put into their studies, their schools and their greater community every day, and it aims to recognize as many awesome high schoolers as possible. Every public and private high school in the outer Montgomery area is eligible to nominate one student a week who exemplifies success in academics and community involvement.
Nominees are revealed each Monday, and readers can vote for free until 1 p.m. each Thursday. The winner is revealed each Friday. There have been hundreds of thousands of votes for Student of the Week since the beginning of the school year.
