KATY, Texas (May 6, 2025) — Katy Independent School District celebrated dozens of graduating seniors Tuesday night at its annual Student Awards of Excellence ceremony.
"Tonight, we come together to recognize the remarkable achievements of our graduating students," said Board President Victor Perez. "We're here not only to honor their accomplishments, but also to acknowledge the parents, educators and staff whose steadfast support has guided them along the way."
The district-wide distinctions went to students from each high school, including Miller Career & Technology Center and Raines Academy, for both subject-specific achievements and overall excellence.
"This evening marks an important tradition in our district, a time when we recognize the commitment and achievements of our graduating students who have demonstrated excellence and leadership throughout their time in Katy ISD," said Katy ISD Superintendent Ken Gregorski. "The students being honored this evening have not only excelled academically but have served as role models for their fellow students across Katy ISD."
