Each year, students, families, faculty and staff gather in our recital hall to celebrate the academic achievements of our students throughout the school year. This year’s event took place yesterday, April 27, 2017.

Twenty-three students were recognized as outstanding in their major, for presenting at this year’s Symposium and as a Who’s Who, and 21 students were inducted into Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society of two-year colleges and academic programs. Fourteen students were inducted into Delta Epsilon Sigma, a national scholastic honor society that was established for students of Catholic universities and colleges in the United States.
