Presentation of Excellence Award:

Principal H. Trent Evans will be recognized and receive a National Magnet School of Excellence Merit Award on behalf of the school during an awards ceremony held at Magnet Schools of America’s 38th National Conference hosted by Clark County School District in Clark County, Nevada, April 5-9, 2021. 

Magnet School of Excellence Awards are only given to a select group of magnet schools. Since the annual conference did not occur this year due to COVID-19, a Merit Top 20 Certificate has been shared with Reedy Creek to be displayed in the school.


To receive a national merit award, members of Magnet Schools of America must submit a detailed application that is scored by a trained panel of readers. These schools are judged and scored on their demonstrated ability to raise student academic achievement, promote racial and socioeconomic diversity, provide integrated curricula and instruction, and create strong family and community partnerships that enhance the school’s magnet theme.
