Just like that, unless it's high school, in which he'd probably be labelled the Dux, rather than honours. Oh, whack a 'U' in the word "honors". But otherwise, that's fine.
Umm..... His teachers loved him and offered letters of reccommendation; the year Mum died, Robert graduated as the Dux of the school... or graduated at the top of his class.
The problem wih the first is that you 'recieve' the Dux award rather than graduate as the Dux... even though you do. Do you get what I mean? It seems to me to sound a bit odd, but unless you change the sentence around I can't think of how it could be presented. My brain's a bit fuzzy today.

In the end, do what seems right to you.
