Final Assembly in High School
The final High School assembly took place Wednesday, June 7 at 11am in Parker Hall. Chris Cooke, Head of High School, opened the event by recapping the achievements of the year - the effective student government, the high numbers of students who participated in Model United Nations, and Woodstock's academic accolades, including two Grade 12 National Merit Scholar Finalists.
The rest of the assembly was dedicated to the presentation of awards, the induction of new members into National Honor Society and welcoming next year's Student Council Members with the "passing of the gavel" from 2005-06 Stuco Co- Presidents Anne Henderson and Suheil Tandon to 2006-07 Stuco President Sunaina Kuhn. Grade 11 was awarded the Centennial Shield for achieving the highest cumulative GPA in the High School and the Merlins celebrated (loudly) after hearing they were the Champion House.
