The Escambia Public Schools Foundation board joyfully congratulates all the students who received awards. It was amazing to listen to their accomplishments and we all know that they will go on to amazing things. We know your parents and family are very proud!
Congratulations Caleb!!!
Way to go Josie!! Congratulations on the scholarships you have earned as well! You have worked extremely hard throughout the years and now get to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Congratulations to everyone! Go Melissa
. Joel has facial hair hahaha
Congratulations Lauren!!!
But maybe you should have called a do-over on the picture.
U look smart in that picture Lauren!
“sister/alumni ” — I’ll step in here about the comment from “awards”. From a press release, I had originally written the story to say “top high school seniors”. That did not mean “Top 10″, but I saw based upon “awards” comment that it could be misunderstood, so I changed it to “outstanding”.
Congrat to everyone!
to “awards” who cares if they are in the top 10 or in the top of the class the teachers obviously thought the students were top notch in the class. Congrats everyone who got an award hard work pays off in the long run.
and a special shout to Melissa, its been a long journey but you have been working hard 
LOVE YOU MELISSA 
I am so proud of you Chelsea!!!! Love, Aunt Shannon
Congratulations melissa! I am very proud of you.
Holly, I am impressed by your work ethic and committment to excellence. While you are the youngest member of the 2012 class, you have reached a very high level of maturity. I am happy to be a part of your life and I just want to stand by and watch you soar!! Congratulations and God bless you in all you do
Totally unbiased Grandpa.
Glad to see a story about young people that are serious about their education (regardless of their class rank) . Congratulations to some outstanding young people who keep popping up on your website William. Thanks for good news
Way to go Lydia
Way to go Lauren! So proud.
haha Lauren!! Congrats everyone!!
Way to go!!!!!!!!!!Melissa
for the record, these students are not the top 10 in the 2012 NHS class. only the top 5 are, the others are awards for subject areas and not based on class rank.
Way to go Peanut!
A BIG congratulations to all the Northview students for your dedication to your acedemics, resulting in this honorable achievement. I would like to give a special shout out to Melissa Moretz, we are always proud of you!
Great photo Lauren! Guess this reaction let’s me know you were kinda shocked(lol). Congratulations to each of you on your accomplishments. NHS still holds a special place in my heart and always will.
