Hamilton Heights High School recognizes the following students who were named as Coffee Bean Award recipients for the month of August. They include Jesse Bishop, Lillie Hooper, Aliyah Hurley, Rees Knapp, Kaydence Mannix, Lana Ottinger, and Sophia Renfro.
The name and award were inspired by The Coffee Bean, a book written by Jon Gordon and Damon West, which delivers a simple, yet powerful message on positive change. All students nominated receive a certificate of recognition. At the end of the month, the names of the students who were nominated during the month are included in a drawing where the first five to seven names drawn are called down to the office to enjoy a hot chocolate or coffee and a donut.
The monthly award objective is to encourage more acts of kindness, positivity, school spirit, and help foster a closer sense of community at the high school. Students and staff can nominate students. You can send a nomination by visiting the Student Services page at hs.hhschuskies.org.
