What is Patriot Night of Scholars and Champions?

One night dedicated to our talented area high school students

Since 2016, local school districts have nominated high school seniors each month during the school year, recognizing outstanding academic achievement, community leadership, volunteerism, and strong character. In addition, exceptional STEM students are honored for their innovation, problem-solving skills, and dedication to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, with selections evaluated in partnership with Tri County Tech. Throughout the year, Tri County Tech also plays a key role in judging both the Students of the Month and STEM honorees. Outstanding athletes from across the area are recognized weekly by KWON/KYFM/KRIG/KPGM Sports Directors, celebrating excellence both in the classroom and in competition.
