The selection criteria for the Kiwanis Student of the Month/Year are community service, academics, athletic involvement, student need and extracurricular activities.
Each month from October to April the school administrators have selected a Student of the Month.

Students of the month for the 2014–2015 school year were: October, Melissa Murphy; November, Briana Brownsell; December, Adam Levi; January, John Gaffney; February, Connor Glasser; March, Tyler McGough; and April, Cameron Lenci.
