Community Builder and Leader Awards

Recognizing outstanding citizenship and leadership is an important part of helping young men become community leaders when they leave St. Lawrence Seminary. Every member of the faculty and staff at St. Lawrence plays an important role in this process.

On a weekly basis faculty and staff turn in to the Dean of Students the names of students they have observed who show exemplary community building efforts. Every quarter the school holds a ceremony where Community Builders and Leaders are recognized. The criteria for these awards includes:
