A Sophomore Award

In January, John Hebert (‘22), received the Captain Andrew R. Houghton Award. The award is presented to a current Strake Jesuit sophomore “who best exhibits the characteristics and values of academic excellence, service to friends and the community and beyond, an enthusiasm for life, and a determination to succeed.”

Somewhat humorously, John’s opened his acceptance speech with, “I just want to let y’all know that speeches are not my strong suit,” only to have this misleading statement contested by the Keynote Speaker a few minutes later!

John’s speech on the awards ceremony video begins at minute 8:50, the Keynote Speaker’s contesting remark at 34:00.

Congrats to Jason and Melanie, and Johnny!
