Jacket of Excellence Awards

Since 1984, Venice High School, along with community partners, has hosted an annual luncheon where the top students of the senior class are recognized for their scholastic achievements, with each one awarded a personalized academic jacket for their accomplishments.

 The Venice Chamber of Commerce and the Venice High School Alumni Association enthusiastically support continuing this tradition of honoring excellence in education, and we reach out to the community to help us raise money for the jackets.

We invite you to sponsor one or more jackets or support this event by donating. Sponsors receive recognition in event materials and can attend the luncheon, where they can meet the students.

For the Class of 2026, the Venice Chamber is excited to introduce a scholarship component to this program. Eligible students will have the chance to apply and compete for scholarship awards of $1,000, $500, or $250, which will be presented during the ceremony.
