Hamilton Heights High School recognizes seven students who were named as Coffee Bean Award recipients for the month of March. These students were among 33 who were nominated for their showing extra kindness, compassion, have overcome adversity, and/or who have been a positive light to those around them during the month of March.

The name and award were inspired by The Coffee Bean, a book, written by Jon Gordon and Damon West that delivers a simple, yet power message on positive change. All students nominated receive a certificate of recognition. At the end of the month, the names of the students who were nominated during the month are included in a drawing where the first five to seven names drawn are called down to the office to enjoy a hot chocolate or coffee and a donut.

The monthly award objective is to encourage more acts of  kindness, positivity, school spirit, and help foster a closer sense of community at the high school. Students and staff can nominate students. Click here to download nomination forms.
