Have the Trig*Star Plaque engraved with the winning student's name, High School name and year of the award.  Also, include the sponsor's name on the plaque.

Another nice touch is to prepare certificates of participation for all the contestants.  A blank certificate form is provided with the Trig*Star test packet that you will receive from NSPS.  You can copy this form onto certificate paper and add the participating student's names.

Plan on returning to the High School for a Trig*Star award presentation.  Make the presentation during the Trig*Star winner's math class if possible, or if the school has a spring semester awards ceremony you may find this to be a good time to honor the Trig*Star winner.

Award the plaque and prize to the winner and give honorable mention recognition to other those students that also scored high.

Take a camera so a few pictures of the presentation can be taken.  If possible, arrange for a representative from the local newspaper to be there to take pictures.  Give the newspaper person a written explanation of the Trig*Star Program such as the Trig*Star brochure or print the the following Trig*Star Description.
