Commencement Awards THE KAY HART COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD: Sarah Stone (not pictured) At the inception of the Middle School, an award was established to honor that student who demonstrated outstanding service to his or her community. In 1993, the award was named in honor of Kay Hart, the first Middle School service coordinator and longtime English teacher.
