To honor and recognize student achievements, Batavia High School is having a renaissance festival April 26.

According to Assistant Principal Steven Schad, there are presently almost 200 students in the Renaissance.

Every year, the High School has this recognition day for those students who excel in the areas of academics, discipline, and attendance. The school uses the word renaissance as a rebirth or an enlightening of the student spirit.

This year, the students will be bussed to the Beechmont roller skating rink where they will skate for a few hours and have Papa Johns Pizza for dinner.
