Awards Night 2003

The Mount Michael Community recently took time out to spend an evening in recognition of the great accomplishments of the student body. Both academics and sports awards were presented. While the accomplishment and awards are more than can be listed here there are some of particular note.

The first thing to mention was that at the Harvard Model Congress this past winter, Mount Michael students’ received honors greatly disproportionate to their numbers. This is a clear indication of the hard work and preparation by Mount Michael students behind the tutelage of Mr. Buschelman.

Mount Michael language students were recognized for the high state and national rankings on the National Language Exams. Six Mount Michael students received national rankings. Brent Lockee was particularly note worthy for his ranking of 4th place in the nation as a second year French student. (read more about Language Exam)

Junior Mike Lundgren received special recognition twice. Once by Fr. Michael with the "Bausch & Lomb Science Award" for the outstanding Physics student and later by history teacher Mrs. Dowd with the "Humanities Award".

Also of note were two sophomore awards. Brent Lockee was given the "Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Award" and Scott Lindgren received the Omaha Exchange Club "Sophomore of the Year Award".

The final award of the night was the "Mount Michael Award" which is given by election of the faculty in recognition of the student who most epitomizes the ideals of Mount Michael. This years recipient was Mark Hotovy.

Finally, congratulations to all the students of Mount Michael who put in so much hard work and effort to make the 2002-2003 school year the great year that it was.
