Special awards were given to deserving seniors at graduation. The list of receiving students is as impressive as the awards themselves.
The Outstanding Athlete Award is given to a versatile senior athlete who exhibits natural athletic ability, leadership in athletics, respect for his teammates and sportsmanship both on and off of the playing field. Timothy Kynard, an outstanding Titan athlete who played both varsity football and varsity basketball, received the honor.
Thomas Schoen is the St. John Berchmans Award winner. He was voted the outstanding senior through a vote of his classmates. In addition to general excellence, academic achievement, co-curricular involvement, leadership, and social awareness, he embodies the Christian ideals modeled our patron St. John Berchmans.
Farman Pirzada received the Spirit Award for exhibiting spirit, determination, courage and love. He has exhibited exceptional concern for the betterment of humankind both in and out of the classroom. He has contributed conspicuously to activities of the school, often without recognition and always with hard work.
Daniel Lewinski received the "Bishop's Cross"for his service, and leadership in living out the Christian commitment. It is an honor central to what it means to be a graduate -- namely a man of faith and a man for others.
The Jesuit Secondary Education Association award winner was Zachary Langenderfer. A prominent goal of Jesuit secondary education has never been simply the acquisition of a store of information and skills or preparation for a career. The ultimate aim of Jesuit secondary education is, rather, full growth of the person which leads to action - action that is suffused with the spirit and presence of Jesus Christ, the man-for-others." The intent of the award is to give public recognition to the student who most closely resembles such ideals.
