Fresno, CA State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O-Connell was among the speakers at Wednesday's ceremony. The "Leaders and Achievers" program is intended to recognize leadership skills, academic achievement and community service.

One Bullard High School senior says he learned a lot from volunteering. Ward volunteered some of his lunch hours at a local retirement home, was active with the Bullard basketball team, and a member of the leadership class at school. He plans on attending Fresno State in the fall.

18 other Valley students came home with scholarships.
