Freshmen Awards:
We are pleased to recognize the outstanding academic achievement of two members of the class of 2013. These two students earned the highest score on the High School Placement Test when they took it last winter. In honor of the success that they have carried into their high school careers at St. Henry, the Freshmen Achievement Award is presented to Dillon Staub and Emily Yocum.
St. Francis Award:
Despite being born into a privileged and prominent society, St. Francis of Assisi felt a call from God to follow a different path. He left a life of wealth and privilege to find self-satisfaction and service to the poor. Inspired by a passage form the Gospel of St. Matthew "freely you have received, freely give" (Matt 10:8) St. Francis spent his life in ministry to others, using daily the gifts and talents that the Lord had given him. His message is best encapsulated in the prayer of his name: "Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy." St. Francis believed that "... it is in giving that we receive," and today we recognize nine St. Henry students who have been nominated by their teachers for following the path of St. Francis for utilizing their talents and abilities in the classroom, for creating a Christian environment by their effort and attitude, and for admirably serving those around them.

St. Scholastica Award
St. Scholastica is the sister of Saint Benedict, and these two siblings walked a very similar path. She founded a religious community for women five miles from where her brother governed a monastery. She visited her brother once a year, and they spent these visits praising God and conferring together on spiritual matters. "Ora et Labora", translated "Pray and Work," is the Benedictine motto that St. Scholastica kept faithfully and cheerfully throughout her life. Driven by this motto, she was able to achieve her personal and spiritual goals, much the same way that our award recipients today have achieved success inside of the classroom. The administration and faculty of St. Henry District High School are honored and privileged to present the St. Scholastica award as the highest academic award for scholarship and Christian character. Recipients of the St. Scholastica Award are:
