DECATUR -- It was a night to recognize and reward those Decatur High School seniors who earned exceptional grade-point averages throughout the 2013-14 school year.

The Decatur Chamber of Commerce hosted a banquet May 13 to honor six outstanding seniors and reward them with scholarships in their name.

After a meal prepared by Chamber members, the recipients were called forward to receive their scholarships.

2014 class valedictorian Orlando Aquirre-Martinez and salutatorian Lynlee Witcher were first, followed by classmates Timothy Clements, Hannah Ramsey, Cordelle Bell and Feng Xiong.

Each year the chamber awards scholarships to the top six seniors in each graduating class.
