2017 Senior Awards Dinner

The Senior Awards Dinner is one of the final times that our graduating class will be together before graduation. The dinner is our opportunity to recognize those students who over the course of their high school career have gone that extra mile. Those students who have achieved success academically, those students who have given of themselves to their community and those who wear their spirit and love for St. Edmund Prep proudly on their sleeves.

The Class of 2017 and their families gathered on June 6, 2017 at Russo's on the Bay for dinner and our awards ceremony. Below is the list of awards and recognitions presented. Congratulations to all of our honorees and thank you for all that you have done to contribute to our St. Edmund Prep Family!
