Dominican Students’ Leadership Recognized by New Orleans Archdiocese
At the annual Youth Leadership Celebration and Awards presentation, 11 Dominican students were among the honorees recognized for their commitment to their parishes in the Archdiocese of New Orleans.
ST. TIMOTHY AWARD RECIPIENTS
Baileigh Goines and Monica Cabes were among the five St. Timothy Award honorees.
The St. Timothy Award is the highest award the Archdiocese of New Orleans can bestow upon a young person. The national award recognizes, on a diocesan level, outstanding youth who exemplify Christian service, Catholic leadership, and good moral standards. The youth who receive this award are not only outstanding in their church parish, but also in the larger archdiocesan community. These individuals have displayed high ideals and have grown spiritually while offering their time and talents in the service of the church parish and the community at large.
Outstanding Youth Award Recipients
Abi Scanlan ’23 Earned Perfect Score of 36 on the ACT
In January, St. Mary’s Dominican High School junior Abi Scanlan earned the highest possible composite score of 36 on the ACT. Fewer than half of one percent of students who take the ACT earn a top score. In the U.S. high school graduating class of 2021, only 4,055 out of nearly 1.3 million students who took the ACT earned a top composite score of 36 (0.313%).
Book Awards
Nine St. Mary’s Dominican High School juniors were presented Book Awards from universities and colleges to celebrate achievements of the Junior Class. The annual Book Awards are in recognition of academic excellence, strong character, and commitment to community services. School counselors, teachers, and administrators nominate the student or students they feel best embody the criteria set by each college or university.
