This past week, Veritas Preparatory School held its First Semester Awards Ceremony, recognizing students for their hard work, perseverance, and dedication to excellence in both academics and character. Awards presented included First and Second Quarter A and A/B Honor Roll, Spelling Bee winners from each class, and the First Semester Diligence Award.
Students in each grade were recognized for earning all As during the first or second quarter - an especially challenging accomplishment given the academic rigor of the Veritas curriculum. Across both quarters, 15 students earned placement on the A Honor Roll.
The A/B Honor Roll recognized students who earned no more than two Bs and the remainder As during a quarter. Eight students achieved this distinction.
Quarter 1 - A Honor Roll
Kinsley Babiarz, Asher Buller, Brighton deBraga, Charlotte Garcia, James Holtmeyer, Charles Munoz, Noah Quiles, Audrey Schilling, Augustus Garcia, Dixie Jensen, Clara Ernst, Madeleine LaValley, Kian Green, Adam Mikulak

The ceremony also honored students who placed first through third in their respective class Spelling Bees, recognizing excellence in spelling, focus, and language mastery.
Perhaps the highlight of the ceremony was the presentation of the Diligence Award, given to one student in each grade band who demonstrated exceptional commitment, perseverance, and effort in their academic pursuits during the first half of the school year. These students exemplified the Veritas ethos and embodied the message of Colossians 3:23. “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.”
