Senior Days & Event Schedule - Last 2 weeks of school
This year, Brewer High School will host two celebratory events, a Scholarship and Awards Ceremony at 6 p.m. Monday, May 18 and a Cords and Collars Celebration at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 20. These events will replace our previous Senior Declaration and Awards Night and continue the tradition in a new and meaningful way. School officials will not receive final grades from TCC for dual credit courses by the May 18 event, so final class ranking cannot be tallied in time for the May 18 ceremony.
The May 18 Scholarship and Awards Ceremony will be by invitation only and recognize seniors who are receiving scholarships as well as those who have enlisted in the military.
During the May 20 Cords and Collars Celebration, members of the National Honor Society will receive their collars. Seniors who earned one or more of the following cords will also be recognized:
- Top 10 percent of the senior class. The Valedictorian and Salutatorian will be announced.
- CTE (completed their CTE program of study and earned an Industry-Based Certification (IBC).
- CCMR. A CCMR cord is awarded to students who: earned 9 college credits and/or earned 3 college credits in English Language Arts or Math; or completed 1 On Ramps course and qualified for at least 3 college credit hours.
- Students may also earn the cord by achieving specific test scores in both English and math in any combination of the following:
- TSIA2: 945+ in reading and 5+ on essay; 945+ in reading, 5+ on the essay, and 950+ in math
- SAT: 480+ in reading; 530+ in math
- ACT: 40+ combined English/Reading; 22+ in math
- AP: Score of 3 or higher on any AP exam

The Cords and Collars Celebration will be livestreamed for families who are unable to attend.
Parent Letters will be handed out at the end of the Cords and Collars Celebration. Letters must be dropped off in the Brewer High School front office no later than 4 p.m. May 14. No emails will be accepted.
