Nearly 100 students at Burnsville High School receive national recognition for their community service

Ninety-six students have received National Community Service Awards for their community service. As national award recipients, they are an inspiration for other students to get involved in their community.

The 5th Annual National Community Service Awards connect student service activity to the United Nations Association of the United States of America’s Global Goals. This year, there is additional recognition for students working toward a world of Zero Hunger and Zero Waste.

This award program has been designed to elevate and expand the awareness of youth leaders contributing time and talent to drive positive progress toward global issues. 

“I am so honored to bestow these National Service Awards to our amazing BHS students,” said Youth Services Coordinator Courtnee Jackson Floback. “These students have gone above and beyond for our community in a selfless and energizing capacity. I think what is most important to recognize about these award recipients, is that they not only contributed many hours of service, but their service was not a one-time thing. All of these students participated in more than four different types of activities in order to obtain this honor. All I can really say is ‘thank you’ to all these students who define what Burnsville High School and the One91 community are about — a space in which you belong and where each student is Future Ready and Community Strong.”
