The final three are in the books.
Wolf seniors Nick Guay, Isabella Schooley, and Damy Giacobbe will be honored Wednesday night as the Students of the Quarter by the Coupeville Lions Club.
The service organization, which has awarded scholarships to CHS students for 80+ years, traditionally honors eight students during a school year.
This time around, that number has hit 10 as there were ties during the third and fourth quarters.
When the Lions hand out their awards, the selections are based on attitude, leadership, scholarship, community service, sportsmanship, inspiration, contributions to school, and congeniality.
All CHS seniors are eligible, with staff and teachers selecting the winners.

Three for three.
When the Coupeville Lions Club honored its CHS Students of the Quarter Wednesday, there were three teenagers on hand instead of the normal two.
A rare tie in the voting process capped the third quarter of the 2023-2024 school year, so the more, the merrier.
The Lions honored Reina Reed, Andrew Williams, and Logan Downes.
CHS seniors are eligible for the award, with staff and teachers voting on the recipients.
Things taken into consideration include attitude, leadership, scholarship, community service, sportsmanship, inspiration, contributions to school, and congeniality.
The Coupeville Lions have a long, proud tradition of honoring local students, having done so for more than 80 years.
Last year, the service group awarded $50,000 in scholarships to Wolf grads.
As each school year progresses, the Lions honor two (or sometimes three) students each quarter, with two of those honorees later being hailed as the Students of the Year.
For quarter three, the winners are:
