Graduation 2010
Graduation Prizes THE SCHOLARSHIP AWARD: JILLIAN RICHARDSON This award is given to a senior for outstanding academic achievement, passion for learning, and a pursuit of excellence. One of this student’s teachers has described our scholar as “a difference-maker.” Simply put she changes things, whether it’s the atmosphere in the room, the level of discussion, or the way someone might see something. She serves as motivator, friend, tutor, counselor, and fellow goofy teen. She is the embodiment of what the world needs now, and she lives this out every day of her life.

THE CORNERSTONE AWARD: KIRA DELL The Cornerstone Award goes to that senior who fully embraces the mission of St. Andrew’s “to provide an enriched academic program within a Christian environment emphasizing the fulfillment of each student’s potential.” Established to commemorate the Class of 2002, the Cornerstone Award recognizes courage, creativity, and love of school. Kira prompts her teachers and advisors to use such words as “delightful, meek, kind, sweet, joyful” to describe her. When she is absent in the classroom, it is a different place. Her presence is infectious, and she has the ability to possess simultaneously two qualities we desire and often see in our students, but rarely at the same time: she can play and
