Montrosians Excel at Laureate and Achievement Award Ceremonies

Montrosians+Excel+at+Laureate+and+Achievement+Award+Ceremonies

Finally, the end of the year. After sports games and plays, exams and contests, it’s time to celebrate all Montrosian accomplishments. In May, Montrose held two awards ceremonies: the Laureate assembly and the achievement awards assembly.

At the Laureate, a plethora of awards were given. Each department awarded one or two students per grade level and AP class. In addition, juniors received college book awards; seniors received awards for capstone and cumulative upper school GPA; and sports awards were given to juniors and seniors. Then salutatorian and valedictorian were revealed. Finally, the four special senior awards, which are inscribed on a plaque in Founders’ Hall, were bestowed. It was incredible to see the whole school give these seniors a standing ovation as they walked to the stage to receive their certificates.

The achievement awards assembly began with middle school character awards. Achievement awards included recognition in national exams in Latin, French, Spanish, and mythology. Students also received recognition for any contests they competed in independently. Additional junior book awards were granted. Again, Montrose cheered on its accomplished scholars enthusiastically.
