The Shirley B. Gordon Award for Academic Excellence honors an outstanding Highline student, graduating with an AA, AS or AAS degree, during the 2011-2012 school year.  The intent of this award is to recognize a graduating student who has benefited from the community college experience and has achieved high academic excellence.

Students must have a minimum 3.5 GPA, clear educational goals, demonstrated service to the college and/or the community in the past three years, and a faculty sponsor who will support the applicant with a letter of recommendation. Other supporting letters of recommendation are encouraged in this competition for Highline’s highest academic honor. Candidates may be asked to explain orally, but definitely in writing what a community college education means/has meant to them.
