The Abraxas Award is presented annually to the secondary school sending two or more graduates to Bowdoin whose representatives maintain the highest standing during their first year at the College.
This year the award goes to the Rivers School, of Weston, Massachusetts.
The two students in the Class of 2022 from Rivers are Kasey Cunningham and Grace Monaghan. Together, these students earned a combined GPA of 3.925 during the 2018-2019 academic year, the highest for a secondary school sending two or more students to Bowdoin.
This award was established by the Abraxas Society, a Bowdoin junior class society that was active from 1893 until 1922. Past winners include Lakeside School in Seattle, WA, and Hanover High School in Hanover, NH.
