Kaylee Derrick of Dumas was named the Most Outstanding Student for the Division of Health Sciences for the 2023-2024 academic year.

Northeast's Honors Day serves as a ceremony to recognize the school's top students in each of its six academic divisions - business & engineering, fine arts, health sciences, languages & humanities, mathematics & sciences and social, behavioral and applied sciences, along with Phi Theta Kappa chapter, officer and advisor awards, Honors Institute graduates and teacher of the year selections, recognition for the college's Scholar's Bowl team, honoring members of the Collegiate DECA, Collegiate FBLA and Collegiate FFA Alumni and Supporters chapters. Students are also recognized for their placement in the college's student art exhibition, the college's creative writing competition (Tyger Symmetry) and for those showing true athletic prowess on and off the field of competition through the announcement of the Tiger Award winners for student-athletes. Northeast faculty members are also honored with the Tremendous Individual Performance (TIP) and Teaching Outstanding Performance (TOP) awards and the Humanities Teacher of the Year. Northeast's Alumni Association and Development Association also uses the Honors Day to celebrate the accomplishments of all students who have received a Foundation Scholarship throughout the academic year. For each one of the college's six academic divisions, faculty members from each respective division are tasked with awarding three Academic Excellence awards, a division all-star award and the Most Outstanding Student award for each division.

Approximately 200 members of the Northeast student body were recognized for their academic achievements and awards during the 2024 version of the event.
