The Academy of Mount St. Ursula recently celebrated the achievements of students at an honors assembly on Oct. 1.
The assembly, led by school principal Lisa Harrison, recognized outstanding students who exceeded expectations during the 2008-2009 academic year. The night allowed parents and students alike to appreciate academic accomplishments that many times go unrecognized throughout the school year.
Among those honored were 25 seniors who were inducted into the Serviam Chapter of the National Honors Society and 17 students who were recognized for having completed an excess of community service. A dozen students who attended a trip to Brazil were also recognized. The trip, sponsored by the International Study Program at the Brotherhood-Sister Sol in Manhattan, allowed students to interact with young people from Brazil through cultural immersion.
