Katy ISD recognizes outstanding high school student achievement
KATY, TX [May 6, 2025] – In a festive event tonight, Katy ISD held its annual Student Awards of Excellence and honored dozens of seniors’ remarkable achievements they’ve made throughout the school year.
“Tonight, we come together to recognize the remarkable achievements of our graduating students,” said Board President Victor Perez. “We’re here not only to honor their accomplishments, but also to acknowledge the parents, educators and staff whose steadfast support has guided them along the way.”
Each year, district high schools along with Miller Career & Technology Center and Raines Academy select students to receive the districtwide distinctions, some for exceptional achievement in a single subject, and others for overall excellence.
“This evening marks an important tradition in our district, a time when we recognize the commitment and achievements of our graduating students who have demonstrated excellence and leadership throughout their time in Katy ISD,” said Katy ISD Superintendent Ken Gregorski. “The students being honored this evening have not only excelled academically but have served as role models for their fellow students across Katy ISD.”
