A packed Brunelle theater recognized hundreds of seniors on June 4 for their academic, extracurricular and leadership accomplishments of the past three years at the annual Senior Awards night.
The seniors that chose to attend were seated on the stage and given white flowers as congratulations. Though most of the awards recipients were listed in the catalog that every attendee received, a few of the awards were kept annonymous until the very end.
Social studies teacher Kevin Williams won Educator of the Year, while student government representatives Rachel Hedman and Silas Kirsch received Service Cup recognition for their outgoing and caring demeanors.
Athlete of the Year went to Juan Zarate-Sanchez, who ran track and cross country, Tiya Kamba-Griffin, who played volleyball and jumped for the track team, and Alex Agnew, who played basketball and lacrosse.
Read on to take a look at the hundreds of other awards that the class of 2019 received. This year’s seniors were awarded over $1 million collectively in scholarships.
