Family and friends joined DeLaSalle staff in recognizing outstanding seniors for academic and extracurricular excellence at the Senior Recognition Ceremony on May 18. The ceremony followed the Baccalaureate Mass.
Continuing a tradition going back to the 1970s, the top awards earned by DeLaSalle graduates each year are the “DeLaSalle Awards” and the “Islander Awards.” These awards are decided by vote of the entire staff and the entire senior class, and they recognize the top ten percent of each graduating class for all-around excellence, Christian leadership, commitment to education, dependability, character, and active participation and service to school and community.
The two students receiving the highest number of votes receive the most distinguished award earned by a DeLaSalle graduate, the “DeLaSalle Award.” The other exemplary seniors receive the next most distinguished award, the “Islander Award.”
