Principal’s Award for Excellence
 
This award recognizes the senior student who best meets the following challenging criteria:
 
  The recipient must be of very high academic standing, not achieving less than an 85% average. The higher the academic average the more consideration the nominee receives.
   
  The student's involvement in school life. We look for the well-rounded student who chooses to become involved in at least one area outside of academics, whether it be school band, varsity sports, student council, public speaking, drama, or any similar major school activity. The greater the involvement, the more consideration the student is given.
   
  The student volunteering in some capacity for the betterment of other students. This volunteer work can be done as a peer tutor, a coach of students in the lower grades, or just being on hand to help out wherever help is needed. The more volunteering, the greater the consideration given to the nominee.
   
  Finally, our award for excellence strongly considers attitude. We look for a student who strives to be positive, but equally as important, the student who strives, in every situation, to reach their fullest potential.
 
This award carries with it an individual plaque and a $500.00 cash award from Pasadena Academy, $50.00 of which comes from the Knights of Columbus.
