7th Grade Student Recognition

A prayer service and recognition ceremony may be held for seventh grade students who exemplify the identity and excellence of Catholic education. Students are selected for recognition by the principal in consultation with teachers and staff. The selection criteria should be met with the distinction meriting an Archdiocesan recognition. There are four categories of recognition:

• Leadership in Faith: The student demonstrates an explicit knowledge of the Catholic faith and an awareness of its influence on his or her conduct as a school leader. Leadership in faith can be shown in any area of school life.
• Leadership in Academic Achievement: The student demonstrates excellence in academic achievement in any subject and encourages or assists others to achieve. Special consideration should be given to students who have produced outstanding projects as evidence of their achievement or if they have showed marked and consistent improvement in academic performance. In some cases, this award may be given for a team’s achievement.
• Leadership in Co-curricular Participation: The student participates with distinction in a co-curricular activity sponsored by the school and encourages others to do so. Special consideration should be given to an activity that is important to the school’s mission.
• Leadership in Community Building & Service: The student takes a leadership role in activities that build school community or that serve the local community. The student should be respected by peers for the quality of his or her leadership. This award many be given to two students, one who builds the school’s community, the other who leads a community service project.
