Our secondary schools form a hugely important role in the development of our young people.
Highland Heroes will celebrate and thank the pupils of secondary schools across the region with the award for secondary school pupil of the year which will be given to a pupil who has achieved something beyond expectations in education, sport or by helping others.
NOMINATE at www.hnmedia.co.uk/highlandheroes by midnight, January 6, 2023.
Developing the Young Workforce Inverness and Central Highland (DYWICH) is sponsoring the award for secondary school pupil of the year.
DYWICH programme manager Eilidh Edgar said: “We are delighted to be supporting Highland Heroes and sponsoring the secondary school pupil of the year award. DYWICH has a dedicated coordinator in every secondary school in the Inverness and Central Highland area and through our work, connecting employers with education and helping young people get work ready we come across many young heroes who achieve amazing things, demonstrating exceptional character, resilience, passion and dedication.
“This award is a fantastic opportunity to shine a spotlight on their achievements and we would urge as many people as possible across our region to nominate someone in their community so we can celebrate how great our young people are.”

Each week, your favourite Highland News & Media websites and newspapers include special features about each of the categories along with all the details of how you can nominate individuals or organisations in your community.
Once all of your nominations are in, our judging panel will face the difficult task of whittling down your entries to create a shortlist.
