Outstanding Students Receive Book Awards
May 21, 2019
Each year, the Counseling office selects three outstanding juniors to receive books from Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth. Students are selected for these awards based on their stellar academic performances in addition to strong character and involvement in school and community.
This year, Lizzie Paterson, Ben Craighead, and Cecelia Ziegler were selected for the book awards.
Paterson received Justice by Harvard Law professor Dr. Michael Sandel, Craighead received The Mystery of Sleep by Yale Medical professor Dr. Meir Kryger, and Ziegler received The Confluence, a collection of essays by Dartmouth graduates.
"We're so proud of these exceptional students for everything they've accomplished, and look forward to seeing what they do during their senior year and beyond," said College Counselor Leslie Connelly.
