The Shining Star Youth Award was created to honor and give recognition to the young people of the community who have made a positive impact on their school and community. The chosen student is a role model and an example for their fellow students. The sole criterion for being chosen to receive this award is nomination by the school principal or pastor. The chosen student can be from any class and the award is not limited to any particular grade level.
