In the 2013-2014 academic year, Mt. Hope High School will
offer an incentive to encourage students to come to school every day ready to
learn. This incentive comes in the form of an attendance award which will be
presented to a high school senior who has perfect attendance for each of the
four years he or she has attended Mt. Hope High School.
The 4 Pi Attendance
Award will be presented to a high school senior who has attended 720 continuous
days of instruction. The deserving
student will receive $720 for this accomplishment, one dollar for each day of
attendance. Why is 720 the lucky
number? That sum is equal to the number
of degrees in 4 pi radians.
This creation of this award is the brainchild of an
anonymous donor who has established the 4Pi Attendance
Award Scholarship Fund with an initial deposit of $10,000. The one caveat to the creation of the fund is
that the donor remains anonymous. The
only clue to this mystery is the name of the award itself!
