Awards Night

Jesuit High School honored its top students of the 2023-24 school year Monday (April 29) at Awards Night in the Antinori Center for the Arts.

The best students in more than 20 areas of distinction, including all of the academic disciplines, were honored inside the Shembekar Auditorium. The awards were presented by the department heads and administrators, with family and supporters of all of the award winners on hand for the special occasion.

Among those honored were Jesuit's 14 National Merit Finalists, and the final two awards of the evening, which were presented by principal Mike Scicchitano, are considered top honors each school year at Jesuit: Donovan Terry '24 received the Faculty Memorial Growth Award, and Dutch Iavarone '25 (pictured) received the Underclassman of the Year Award.

Congratulations to all of the award recipients. View below all who earned recognition at Awards Night 2024, and click here to view downloadable photos of all the award recipients.
