BE A GLOBE CHANGER!

This past year, Benedictine Academy won the Jefferson Awards Regional Gold Medal and the Best New Jefferson Awards School in the Nation! Leading the Way to Success, we are now part of an exciting new program called Jefferson Globe Changers!

"Since 2006, the Jefferson Awards began using its history and prestige to become one of the nation's largest activators, and inspiring volunteering with a special emphasis on young Americans. With GlobeChangers we want any student age 25 and under to THINK BIG. We want to work with their passion and create a national or global service project. The opportunity: Become a significant leader for tomorrow." Sam Beard, co-founder with Jacqueline Onassis and Robert Taft, Jr., of the Nobel Prize for Public Service.
