Senior Awards and Scholarships

Congratulations to the class of 2020, everyone knows the end of their last year in high school has been stressful but we’re proud of all of you. This senior class is filled with hard-working, talented students, and the Senior Awards Ceremony was all about them. “The Senior Awards Ceremony acknowledges dedicated and committed students that conscientiously made a lot of great choices and sacrifices, choosing success,” says Brentwood High principal Dr. Ed Johnson. “I could not be more proud of each senior celebrated for their accomplishments.”

I am so proud of all they have done and excited for all they will do in the future.”
