Outstanding Sophomore
Awards

 

 

Each year, the Exchange Club recognizes Omaha and surrounding area High School Sophomores for their academic, extracurricular, and volunteer achievements. Each High School provides recommendations for this recognition through their own screening and application process. The student will receive a certificate at an Honors assembly and their name is added to the Outstanding Sophomore Award Plaque posted at their school.
