McNary High School Awards
The Ken Collins Theater at McNary Senior High School in Keizer, Oregon also uses Golden Onions as an award. The Drama Department hand makes and spray paints real onions on bases gold. The onions are then awarded to various actors, technicians and crew of the year's productions. Some awards focus on funny or embarrassing actions but most of the awards are highly anticipated and are an honor to receive. The actors, technicians and crew of the year’s productions choose the recipients. Skits and entertainment pieces by students, some of which poke fun at the teacher, Dallas Myers, and the productions, usually punctuate the presentation of the awards. The Golden Onions production is run by technicians in training, as part of their technical theatre class. The department's Thespian Troupe helps with some of the after production work because the ceremonies and festivities go from 5:30 pm to 11:45 pm. The production is also a major fundraiser for the department; Ken Collins Theater is annually sold out for this production. On 2012 takes place the 15th annual Golden Onions.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“He was high and mighty. But the kindest creature to his slaves—and the unfortunate results of his bad ways were not sold, had not to jump over ice blocks. They were kept in full view and provided for handsomely in his will. His wife and daughters in the might of their purity and innocence are supposed never to dream of what is as plain before their eyes as the sunlight, and they play their parts of unsuspecting angels to the letter.”
—Anonymous Antebellum Confederate Women. Previously quoted by Mary Boykin Chesnut in Mary Chesnut’s Civil War, edited by C. Vann Woodward (1981)
“East, west, north, south, or like a school broke up,
Each hurries toward his home and sporting-place.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
