The annual Valparaiso High School Academic Excellence Banquet was held on Sunday, May 6th, 2012 at the Strongbow Inn. Forty-five seniors and their parents and families attended the banquet along with selected educators the students named as influential in their academic careers.
Students were selected for their outstanding scholastic achievement based upon their grade point average through seven semesters of high school. VHS Principal James Doane presented commemorative medals to the top forty-five seniors in the 2012 graduating class.
The purpose of the banquet was to recognize the accomplishments these young people have made through their academic lives and to encourage them to use their gifts to accomplish their goals while influencing the lives of others. The guest speaker for the event was Brian Schafer who is the business director and executive producer of the Memorial Opera House as well as the manager of the Porter County Expo Center and Fairgrounds.
