Honoring Outstanding Manatee County High School Seniors
Manatee Memorial Hospital is proud to once again be the presenter of this year’s Golden Herald Awards, which honors outstanding Manatee County high school seniors for noble service to their schools and community. This award program was established in 1978 by the Bradenton Herald.
The essential qualification for a Golden Herald nominee is service. The Golden Herald Award in each category is given to the individual whose record of achievement and service to school and community best exemplifies the unselfish use of talents and abilities to help others.
Each participating high school in Manatee County is invited to nominate up to two seniors in each of 16 categories. Categories, qualifications and general information about the program can be found in the brochure, which can be downloaded here. A school committee, under the direction of the principal or designated representative, shall determine which two students in each category will have their applications submitted to Manatee Memorial Hospital.
