It’s a mad swirl of awards and scholarships being handed out in the days leading up to graduation.

The busiest time of the school year creates a madhouse atmosphere for teachers, admins, and front office personnel as everyone tries to stick the landing.

Coupeville High School held its awards night this past Monday, and, while I wrote about the athletic honors that night — this is an athletics-based blog, after all — here’s some more of what was handed out.

Ryanne Knoblich, who was the school’s Female Athlete of the Year, also brought home the Senior Service Award.

To be considered, a Wolf needs to make the top 10 in a vote by their fellow students, then win a faculty vote.

Criteria for the award includes “good citizenship, exemplary sportsmanship, being helpful to others, unselfishness, (while being) eager to assist faculty, administration, and the betterment of the entire school.”

Fellow seniors Mercedes Kalwies-Anderson and Milo Socha earned the Legacy Award, handed to students who “leave a positive legacy, and are a role model.”

Meanwhile, the Coupeville Lions Club, which honors two Wolves each quarter during the school year, tapped Karyme Castro Sotelo and Josh Guay as their Students of the Year.

Castro Sotelo played tennis and was a cheerleader as a senior, while Guay capped a four-year run as a Wolf track and field athlete.

Plus, he let me use some of his photos here on Coupeville Sports, so, extra credit.
