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.
