The Jefferson Awards-Deloitte Students in Action is proud to announce that Benedictine Academy High School has achieved the 2012 Gold Medal Banner for Service Leadership and has won the Northern New Jersey State Competition. Benedictine Academy was evaluated by a panel of judges from United Way, Verizon, College of St. Elizabeth, and another New jersey College for their oratory and presentation skills, as well as outstanding service leadership efforts in serving the local and global communities.
The Jefferson Awards Students in Action is currently operating in over 450 high schools nationwide and in 13 regions: Charleston, Chicago, Delaware, Central Florida, Indianapolis, Memphis, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, the San Francisco Bay Area, Savannah and Toledo. The Jefferson Awards will select one outstanding high school as the national honoree. Each state regional high school, along with the national honoree, will be showcased as part of the National Jefferson Awards Ceremony in Washington, DC in June.
We give thanks to God for this great honor and Ms. Karen Hatcher, our Regional SIA Director for her support and guidance to BA and all the schools. A special thanks to our brothers at St. Benedict's Prep for coming to cheer us on!
Please say a prayer that we hear more "Good News" this week regarding the entire State Competition.
