OCTOBER 22, 2010 -- The Challenge Program, Inc., a regional non-profit organization designed to provide high school students with incentives for success, kicked off the program at Steubenville High School with an orientation assembly for students.
The program partners with local businesses to motivate high school students both in and out of the classroom. This partnership creates good habits in students and provides businesses with tangible results for their investments.
Twelve students in the sophomore, junior, and senior classes who excel in the areas of Attendance, Academic Excellence, Academic Improvement, and Community Service will receive an award in the amount of $250 for their efforts. The total amount of awards in each school totals $3,000.
DPS Penn is the sponsor of The Challenge Program, Inc. at Steubenville High School. Chad Mackert, Landman, joined Mary Dreliszak, Senior Manager of Program Development for The Challenge Program, Inc. in addressing the students
This year's orientation assembly incorporated a baseball theme to challenge students to become academic "all-stars."
"The 'all-star' theme drives The Challenge Program, Inc.'s motivational message home to students," said Dreliszak. " To be stars in the game of life, students have to show up, take their performance to the next level, and always 'throw' something back to their community. We can't go through life with catcher's mitts on both hands."
Since 2003 through the generous support of businesses, foundations, and individuals, The Challenge Program, Inc. has been introduced to more than 200,000 students and checks totaling $1.3 million have been presented to over 5,200 high school students.
