Students Celebrated for Academic Achievements at Fall Convocation

Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors gathered virtually on September 14, the first day of the 2020-2021 academic year, to celebrate their academic achievements at the Fall Academic Convocation. Among the awards presented to students were General Excellence and Order of the Owl, awarded to students who earned final grades of Honors or above in the previous academic year's coursework. Several special awards were also presented to upperclassmen.

“It is appropriate to recognize at times this achievement, and maybe more importantly, the hard work upon which it was founded,” said Regis Principal Fr. Anthony D. Andreassi, CO, in his opening remarks. While not every student can win these awards, Fr. Andreassi underscored that “what’s more important by far is what hopefully we’ve built up within ourselves in the striving towards that excellence: values and habits like self-discipline, attentiveness, honesty, and integrity.”
