BOISE, Idaho - Franklin Building Supply is recognizing outstanding High School students throughout Idaho and northern Nevada by asking the community to nominate deserving candidates for their High School Hero Award.
Nominees will be judged on the basis of multiple achievements including grade point average, academic activities, school related extra-curricular activities and community and/or civic related involvement.
Upon selecting a winner, Franklin Building Supply will donate $500 in the student's name to the academic department or non-profit 501(c)(3) organization of the winning student's choosing. The winner will also receive a $150 cash prize for themselves, state wide recognition, and a special High School Hero sweatshirt.
"At Franklin, we operate on the philosophies and values of our founders," states Rick Lierz, president and CEO of Franklin Building Supply. "We want to encourage young people in the community to strive for their personal best and continue pursuing their dreams. In order to become a well-rounded individual it is not only important to work hard in the classroom, but to also involve yourself in the community while being a positive role model to others. The High School Hero Award is our way of showing students that they have our support, and we are on their side."
The deadline for fall submission is Oct. 31 and a winner will be announced mid-November. Students will have a second opportunity to win a High School Hero Award later this spring. Nomination forms are available for pick-up at any Franklin Building Supply store location or online at www.franklinbuildingsupply.com.
