The Challenge Program, Inc. Awards $250.00 to Greater Johnstown Students for Exellence

The Challenge Program, Inc. is once again offering $250.00 cash incentives to sophomores, juniors and seniors who excel in the categories of: Academic Improvement, Attendance, Community Service and Academic Excellence. This is the 6th year The Challenge Program, Inc. has provided financial incentives to Greater Johnstown students.

For the 2009/2010 school year, a few modifications have been made to the program to motivate and include a larger number of students to compete for an award. This year, the top 10% of students in each of the categories listed above will be eligible to win $250.00. Each eligible student will be notified at the end of the 3rd grading period and asked to complete a brief online survey. Submission of a survey will enter the student in a lottery drawing to be held at the school to determine a winner for each award.

Partnering with The Challenge Program, Inc. to provide incentives to the students is Mount Aloysius College. Mr. Matt Bodenschatz from Mount Aloysius was on hand to address the students at an Orientation Assembly held at the school on September 15th. The Challenge Program, Inc. would like to thank Mount Aloysius College for their support and commitment to Greater Johnstown High School.
