2021 Recipients
The Spirit of Leona is given to just one student at each of our 17 Arizona high schools. The award recognizes students who have overcome significant obstacles in earning their high school diploma. The accomplishments of these students bring pride to our schools and our organization and inspire the work we do in helping students redefine what's possible. Congratulations to all!
