At the end of each year, the Middletown Area Middle School has awards that recognize students for their outstanding leadership, work habits, school attendance, respect, athletics, patriotism and many more outstanding qualities that make MAMS head and shoulders above the rest. The teachers nominate students for each award and then a final vote is taken to produce the recipient of the award. Not only is it an honor to be the recipient of the award, but to be nominated is also an honor that should not be taken lightly.
