Every day, our students, faculty, and staff work hard to embody our Ursuline Core Values and showcase the best of themselves, whether it’s in the classroom, on the stage, in the office, or on the fields. As we closed out the 2024-2025 year, each campus school honored those who give their all each day on the Ursuline Campus.
SHA Honors Day ceremonies recognized dozens of students with awards in academic, service, sports, performing and visual arts, community, and spirit categories. The St. Angela Award was presented in honor of faculty and students who continually reflect the life of St. Angela and the Ursuline Core Values of Reverence, Service, Leadership, and Community in their daily interactions with others.
