I'd like to address this assumption: namely, I don't think it's necessarily so. I didn't know they still did awards like that - they had them when I was in grade school and I understood they were for excellence in particular subjects - high averages and such, as opposed to overall GPA. As far as I know, they have nothing to do with kissing butt (or at least, not much). You get a history award by doing really well in history, a math award for excelling in math, etc.
