Students of WWTC have the opportunity to compete for the honor of Student of the Month. To be nominated a student must have excellent attendance and grades, participate in classroom and community service activities, and demonstrate leadership and cooperation within their class. They will prepare a brief essay as to why they deserve the honor and participate in an interview with a non-partial panel. Monetary awards from the WWVTC Foundation and gifts from sponsors are presented to both the winner and the runner-up each month. The winners of Student of the Month are eligible to compete for the Student of the year designation.

Being selected to serve on the Gold Star Ambassador Leadership Team is an honor at Wes Watkins Technology Center. To be considered, students are nominated by their instructor and then must go through an interview process. Many apply but only a few are selected. As a GSA, students attend leadership training classes and assist with meetings, the job fair, 8th grade and sophomore tours, Student of the Month assemblies and many other events throughout the year. In March they attend Leadership Day at the Capitol with other leadership groups throughout the state and are able to sit in on House and Senate sessions as well as meet with their legislators. The GSA's are also responsible for planning and presenting the Veterans Day assembly each year.
