WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) -

For a second year in a row, WWNYTV 7News will produce a broadcast special, honoring over 100 students from the tri-county region who were selected as All Stars, during the challenging, 2020-2021 school year.

Incorporating four disciplines, Athletics, Academic, Arts and the newest discipline, Career-Tech, the show will honor all the students and additionally the winners of the four $1,000 scholarships (one for each discipline) will be announced during the broadcast.

The program will feature commentary and introduction from 7News reporters and anchors associated with each all-star program as well as words of support and congratulations from a representative of each sponsor:
