Academy Principal Mrs. Camille Jowanna announced the winners of the Esse Quam Videri award for the first quarter on Tuesday, November 13 .  The highly cherished award is given each quarter to freshmen who exhibit one of the traits prized by Blessed Marie Rose, founder of the Sisters of the Holy Names: “To be, rather than to seem.”

The first five girls to receive the award this year are Jennifer Amor, Caroline Lamoutte, Jade Meurer, Jayne McLaughlin, and Eva Prendergast.
