"Ten students received the President's Outstanding Student Award at a banquet held Monday on the Cisco campus of Cisco College. 

College President Dr. Thad Anglin praised the students and presented medallions and framed certificates to those who had been nominated by the faculty as the outstanding students in their departments.

The awards ceremony was sponsored by the Faculty Senate, and Professor Staci Shupe was in charge of the project from the beginning. She is currently Vice President of the Senate.

Nominations for the student awards came from faculty based on the acronym H.E.A.R.T.

Honesty and integrity—no cheating, lying, or plagiarism.

Academic—student is in good standing with grades or has a high grade or has greatly improved.

Reliability—student shows up and could transfer this skill to the workforce.

Tenacity—student keeps trying, even when it is hard."
