Campbell County Fiscal Court honors dozens of student athletes and scholars
Summary
At its Feb. 19 meeting the Campbell County Fiscal Court presented Certificates of Achievement to student athletes and scholars from multiple high schools, recognizing academic and athletic milestones and regional and national awards.
Judge Pender opened the Campbell County Fiscal Court meeting on Feb. 19 by recognizing a slate of students from local high schools for academic and athletic accomplishments. The court presented Campbell County Certificates of Achievement to teams and individual students from Bellevue, Campbell County High School, Dayton, Highlands, Newport Central Catholic and others.
The recognition highlighted both team accomplishments and individual awards. Judge Pender noted the cross country team from Bellevue qualified for the Class A state meet for the first time in 28 years. The Campbell County girls and boys soccer teams were honored for region tournament success and advancement to state tournament play. Individual honors mentioned in the presentation included students with high GPAs, regional and state athletic all‑region selections, and students earning national placements in Family, Career and Community Leaders of America competitions.
The court read an extended list of named honorees and their achievements. Examples included Bellevue senior Nick Long and coach Larry Long; Campbell County senior Jillian Floramonte; Dayton seniors Mackenzie Sullivan and Emily Hall; Highlands marching band teacher Laurie Duncan and senior Alexandria Lancaster; Newport Central Catholic senior Caleb Cole, and others. Several students were noted for academic distinctions (GPAs above 4.0, AP scores, National Merit recognition) and for extracurricular honors (Ohio Valley Chapter NATAS awards, Navigo Scholars placements). The court asked that applause be held until the end of the presentations and invited families forward to receive certificates.
Judge Pender framed the recognition as an investment in the county’s future and thanked teachers, coaches and families for their support. He closed the presentation by congratulating the honorees and excusing them from the remainder of the meeting so other business could proceed.
