The Sheriff's Youth Service Medal of Honor program was established to recognize Cook County students who have volunteered 100 or more hours during the previous year. Five Midlothian students were awarded the Medal of Honor during a presentation ceremony on November 7, 2011 at UIC Forum in Chicago. The recipients were:
Michelle Borgman, Emilia Gutuerrez, Maeve McDermott, Francinet Perez, and Nicole Quitman. Congratulations students!
