The City of High Point surprised Revonda Johnson, principal at High Point Central High, Sunday with its 2009 Humanitarian of the Year award. Johnson received the award during the city’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Community Celebration at the High Point Theatre.

Each year the High Point Human Relations Commission chooses an outstanding High Point citizen dedicated to the advancement of social justice and human rights to receive the award. Johnson was chosen for her contributions to schools and the community.

Johnson said she was especially privileged to receive the award during High Point’s 150th anniversary year. “To be chosen during such a special year for the city is truly an honor,” she said.

To commemorate the honor, the city presented Johnson a plaque inscribed with a Martin Luther King Jr. quotation.
