JAMES LANGDON AWARD
This award is sponsored by the Hillsborough Dukes to honor James Langdon, a former Dukes Player who served his country as a US Marine. Each year, student's in grades 5-8+ can submit their first marking period report card for consideration to the Scholastic Committee. The report card should have no more than two B's in the 5 major subjects (Math, Science, Reading, Writing and Social Studies) to qualify. Each year the best report cards identified by grade and gender will serve as benchmarks for the award. Recipients will be notified at the annual banquet, usually held in December of each year. Below is a listing of all the Hillsborough Dukes that have been selected for this recognition over the past eight years.
