Because the 2020-21 school year has experienced many new and different circumstances, Port Clinton Middle School developed its “Grit and Growth” honor roll. This varies from the typical Middle School honor rolls, as the Grit and Growth title goes along with the Port Clinton School District’s culture belief, Relentless Pursuit of Growth: ”Be gritty. Embrace the challenge.”

Teachers had submitted the names of students who demonstrated unique growth and grit during the first quarter of 2020. Those students demonstrated admirable effort in unique ways, whether attending class in person or online, were recognized. As a result, the Middle School is pleased to celebrate the following students for their efforts in exemplifying Grit and Growth:
