Scholarships and awards

Our students can take advantage of several scholarship and award opportunities.

Merit Awards

 

Tempe High School uses a digital merit system; we no longer use physical paper merit cards for environmental purposes and for convenience.

Students can earn a merit for repeated demonstration of the Tempe values.

Teachers may choose to email this card to parents or simply add the merit to the system and let the student know. The student can see their merit tally via the student portal.

Students who receive a Silver Award (see below) are invited to an Awards Picnic in recognition of their amazing achievement.
