How does your school give awards?

At our school, we give out little cheap certificates which really serve no purpose. When something is given to you on a little piece of paper, it doesn’t really make you want to put it on something like a resume or college app. Anyways, we have the regular ol’ honor roll awards. The school also gives out awards to people that had previously done something worth recognizing (ie science fair, leadership conventions…). The only awards that the school has to decide on to give to students are the department awards: English, History, Math, Science, Arts… The teachers are basically just asked to pick 1 student from each class period that they teach who has been the best student. Since the awards at our school don’t really mean much, I’ve never really thought about if the school gave awards out fairly. So far, I think the teachers just pick who ever they like. I’ll keep an eye out though as out awards ceremony is this upcoming monday.
