Honor Habet Onus, or “With Honor Comes Responsibility,” is the motto of the South Central Area Superintendents’ Association. That group recently bestowed honors on outstanding students at SCASA’s annual Student Award Luncheon.  Eighteen districts took part in the event, March 19, at the Laurel View Country Club in Hamden.

Students are nominated by their superintendent or other administrator.  Awards are based on community service and service to others; academic prowess (relative to ability); and leadership to the school community.

Among the students recognized by SCASA this year were two from the Area Cooperative Educational Services (ACES) Whitney High School North in Hamden. 

ACES Educational Center for the Arts (ECA) students Sophia O'Brien-Udry's and Jonathan Gelernter's essays are featured in New Haven Magazine's High School Confidential issue (March / April 2014).

Michael Corjulo, ACES Coordinator of School Health Services was selected as a Healthcare Hero / Educator of the Year by Business New Haven magazine. An article featuring Michael can be found on page 8 of the Healthcare Heroes supplement to New Haven  / Business New Haven magazines.
