Horner Awards Recognize Exceptional Seniors Honored for Devoted Service Each year outstanding members of the Senior Class are honored with the Horner Award for their exceptional achievements and invaluable service to the school. Those selected display high standards in leadership, scholar¬ ship, service, dependability, and char¬ acter. The number of students varies each year, but the qualifications re¬ main the same. The Horner Awards were established in 1962 in honor of Dr. Jack Horner, principal of Myers Park from 1955 to 1960. By means of the invaluable time and effort that they have contributed, these students have helped to better Myers Park. Without these leaders Myers Park would suffer not only from the loss of their service, but also from the loss of the example set for other students. Whether excelling in athletics, student government, art, music, or simple diligent effort for the school, the Horner Awardees have proven throughout their three years at Myers Park that participation brings enjoyment and fulfillment.
