Awards Ceremony Recognizes Excellence in Underform Students

4/21/2014

The entire school gathered for the Underform Awards Ceremony on April 19th to recognize IV and V form students who have excelled in the classroom and in their demonstration of leadership and service to others.

Spring Parents Day began with students and visiting parents attended classes. By mid-morning everyone on campus had made their way to the Chelsea Morrison Theater for the Underform Awards Ceremony. Many students were called to the stage in recognition of their achievements. College book prizes were awarded to a dozen students, followed by the Poetry Prize, Arts Awards, and the Founder's Prize. The Founder's Prize is the only prize voted upon by the entire faculty, and the winner enrolls in a program such as Nols or Outward Bound during the summer following his or her V form year.

Congratulations to the following prize winners:
