On Monday morning, the Prep community gathered to honor two seniors and one two juniors at our second Prep Spirit Award assembly of the 2024-25 school year. In celebrating the contributions of these “unsung heroes” to the life of our school, we celebrate the heart of our mission, and continue a Prep tradition that began in 1981.
Congratulations to our November Spirit Award honorees, pictured above, left to right:
- Patrick Cansino, ’26
- Henry Eig, ’25
- Tyler Barksdale, ’26
- Noah Mendoza, ’25
We invite you to spend a few minutes learning about these Spirit Award recipients and how they make a difference at Grand & Warren every day…
Fr. John Browning, S.J., ’46, introduced the Prep Spirit Awards in the fall of 1981, while serving as Prep’s principal. It was Fr. Browning’s hope that the awards would celebrate all that Prep represented. The Spirit Awards remind us that heroes come in many different forms, and that we should recognize them among us. We hope as well that all can see the good deeds in those we recognize and use their example to inspire our own work. As we celebrate our awardees, we also celebrate the community that sends them forth and nourishes their life among us.
