This spring YWAA leaders presented the annual Yale Book Awards, which are awarded to outstanding Westchester high school students. The schools select the winners, who are cited for excellence in academics, extracurricular activities and contributions to the community.
A preliminary list of this year's winners is shown below. As more schools announce winners, the list will increase. In most years, awards are granted to students from over 25 Westchester high schools.
This year's winners include some who have started or led service organizations on campus, been engaged in research in biology, excelled in a broad range of AP courses, starred on sports teams (baseball, wrestling and soccer), and won county honors in band and music (violin and trumpet)
Teachers, counselors and principals help to choose one student for each designated high school. Winners are highlighted at honors programs or school events and receive a selected book from YWAA and a certificate of achievement.
In years past, the book included such titles as Yale Book of Quotations, Mapping the Heavens: The Radical Scientific Ideals That Reveal the Cosmos, and A Better Planet: Forty Big Ideas for a Sustainable Future.
Winners, who are often students completing junior years, may consider applying to Yale, but are not required to do so.
