This award recognizes the students who have exhibited to their teachers an outward desire to grow and learn. Whether through their engagement in class, or through their submitted work, these students express the Magis in their class.

STUDENT THOUGHTS
Ben Woodard ‘25 was a recipient of two academic awards and the Haggerty Scholarship. He said that he felt “honored to be recognized for my achievements this year and wanted to congratulate everyone who won awards at the convocation and how well they have done this year.”
Peter Loh ‘24 was a recipient of four academic and extracurricular awards. He said the following about his favorite convocation moment:
“My favorite moment at the convocation was when they had the Delaney scholarship. A scholarship for a hard worker like Guy Delaney meant a lot to me. I never knew Guy but my brother who attended Jesuit had nothing but good things to speak about him. The winner of the scholarship each year now carries the responsibility of living up to Delaney’s legacy, and I think Jackson Fleischer will do just that.”
Congratulations to all the freshman and sophomore classes for their resilience and hard work this year!
