For nearly three decades, local Masons have proudly hosted this event which gives area Middle and High Schools an opportunity to publicly honor their outstanding teachers and students. Each Teacher of the Year as well as the 8th and 11th Grade Students of the Year are chosen by the school administration to receive this honor.
Also, Grand Junction, Palisade, and Mesa Masonic Lodges will be awarding three local high school seniors with scholarships to students so that they can continue their education. These students applied for and were selected by the Masonic Lodges for their commitment to their education and school and community involvement.
