BOARD SCHOLARS TITLE

What is the Board Scholar Program?

The Coleman Board Scholar Program started in 1983 by the Coleman Board of Education to reward students who display continuous academic excellence. Awards are provided by donations from Coleman community members and organizations.

To achieve Board Scholar status, students must maintain Honor Roll eligibility for the last four consecutive marking periods with no grade lower than a B- and no negative citizenship comments.

When is the Board Scholars Ceremony?

The 2024 Board Scholars ceremony was on March 13th, 2024 at 6:30 PM in the Jr/Sr High School auditorium.

How to Donate

Any donations received to the Administration Office after February 23, 2024 will be rolled over into the 2025 award ceremony. Memorials and recognitions will be noted in the bulletin if provided.
