The CCCHS Forensics and Drama classes held their end-of-year awards, including the Golden Tiger and Nerd Awards. Teacher Megan Blackburn said the Golden Tiger is their version of the Golden Globes, while the Nerd Awards are reserved for kids who participate in Debate and Forensics clubs.

The Golden Tigers are nominated by fellow students who have achieved thespian status. Blackburn said thespians include kids who have acted in at least three shows, and have 100 hours of tech under their belt.

“Once they’re a thespian they get to help select our shows for the next year and they get to have more leadership responsibilities,” she said. All students were available to vote on winners of the Golden Tigers.
