Champions of Wayne Student Achievement Banquets
Wayne, Michigan
The Guidance Center’s newest program Champions of Wayne helps to transform students and prepare them to graduate and to set a path for success in life. Currently this program is at Wayne Memorial High School and combines adult mentoring, academic and life goal setting, and recognition that results in individualized prescriptions for success and financial rewards for students. Each semester students are celebrated at an awards banquet to highlight their success during the semester. Be a sponsor and change a life.
Be a change agent for students as they navigate high school and prepare for success! Our 2024 banquets will be held on Thursday, February 1, 2024 & Thursday, June 20, 2024 from 6-8:30 p.m. at Wayne Tree Manor.
