On May 31, Headmaster Downey and Ms. Schwartz presented certificates and pins to ten Senior School students to recognize their achievements in the Duke of Edinburgh Award program.
The program has three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each level requires students to embrace a wide variety of interests, including physical activity, educational training, self-discipline, and service to the community—all designed to advance young people's physical, mental and spiritual welfare.
To receive the award, participants must meet goals in four program areas:
Voluntary Service: Providing volunteer service to others and the community
Skill Development: Developing a personal interest, social or practical skill
Physical Recreation: Gaining a sense of achievement and good health through physical fitness activities and sports
Adventurous Journey: Undertaking a wilderness or adventure experience
This spring, we recognize the following students for their achievements in the program:
Bronze Award:
Zachary Chomski

Mark Kapusta
Soren Matossian
Roger Pan
Thomas Xue
Liangyu (Lewis) Zhang
Ziye Zhou

Congratulations to all Duke of Edinburgh Award recipients!
