The Head of School Prize is presented to a senior who best exemplifies the school motto Esse Quam Videri, “To be, rather than to seem.”
The Benjamin R. Fisher Award is presented to a senior who, like Mr. Fisher, has given outstanding service to Ellis.
The Augustus K. Oliver Cup is given each year by faculty vote to the senior who represents the highest ideals of scholarship, athletic participation, and citizenship.
Drs. Michelina Fato and Carl Snyderman endowed The Dr. Victoria Bernardis Jordan Latin Award in 2011 to honor Dr. Victoria Jordan, who retired at the close of the 2015-16 school year after 18 years of service at The Ellis School. During her tenure, Dr. Jordan taught scores of students the Latin language as well as the history of Ancient Rome. Through her passion and dedication, Dr. Jordan inspired Ellis graduates to continue to study the classics in college and beyond. Her legacy continues because of the difference she has made in the lives of all of her students.
Department and Athletics prizes honor a senior who has excelled in an area. Recipients are selected by vote of members of each department.
