Willowbrook recognizes Human Relations Award recipients
On May 17, Willowbrook hosted its annual Human Relations Award Breakfast.
This year, more than 200 students were honored with the Human Relations Award. During the program, each recipient was recognized with a Human Relations Award certificate and a personalized write-up.
Students who receive this award are recognized for their attention to cultural diversity and human dignity and for reinforcing that behavior in all they do for Willowbrook and surrounding communities. Recipients are nominated by Willowbrook staff members for their outstanding character, sense of others and selfless behavior.
