Student Achievements Recognized at 2026 Fall Convocation

The Regis community gathered today for the annual Fall Convocation, celebrating Regians' achievements from the previous academic year. Students who earned final grades of Honors or above in all full-credit courses were awarded Order of the Owl recognition. General Excellence awards were given to students on the basis of superlative performance in coursework and, in the opinion of the faculty, extraordinary level of interest, initiative, and achievement beyond the classroom. Individual awards were also bestowed upon select upperclassmen for their accomplishments within the school community.

Listed below are the awards presented at the 2026 Fall Convocation:

Saint Michael's College Book Award: Xander Latimer '27

The St. Michael's Book Award is awarded to a student entering his senior year who has strong academics and demonstrates a sustained and sincere commitment to community service and to issues of peace, justice, and concern for others.

Brown University Book Award: Aidan Shrekgast '27

Each year, under the auspices of a Regis alumnus, Brown University offers a book award to the Regis student entering senior year who best combines academic excellence with clarity in written and spoken expression.

Rensselaer Medal: Gabriele Troiano '27

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute awards an annual prize to students beginning senior year in selected high schools who have performed outstandingly in mathematics and science during their high school careers. 

Rochester Institute of Technology Award: Nicholas Bettwy '27

The Rochester Institute of Technology Award recognizes a rising senior who demonstrates interest and ability in math and science and is an involved and active member of the Regis community.

Timothy F. Beckett, Jr. Award: Charlie Amabile '27

The Regis High School Class of 1966 established this award in memory of their late classmate Dr. Timothy F. Beckett, Jr. The award provides a challenge to Regians and is given to the student who in his first three years at Regis best exemplifies the ideals of Christian service to others, leadership, the promotion of justice for all, and the pursuit of excellence that Tim embodied while at Regis and throughout his life. This award's true value is the invitation to all Regians to follow and commit to a lifelong call to live with generosity and noble hearts, as Tim did, in the service of others and the advancement of justice. 

Margaret T. Rodden Christian Service Award: Thomas Mecane '27

At the suggestion of the Student Council, Regis established certificates for service to the school in the field of extracurricular programs, activities, and Christian Service. Several years ago, a benefactor also contributed a monetary award in memory of Margaret T. Rodden for the recipient of this certificate. Many of our most successful programs could not exist and people in our community could not be helped without the labor, organizational ability, and devotion of students who work, often unnoticed and unthanked, behind the scenes. 

Joseph Lagano, Jr. Award: Antonio Forte '28

The Joseph Lagano, Jr. Award, named for a member of the Class of 1998 whose death in the summer between his sophomore and junior years was a tremendous loss to the Regis community, is presented to a student beginning his junior year who in his first two years at Regis exemplified the values of service to Regis, to those in need, and to the civic community.

Le Moyne College Heights Award for Leadership and Service: Simon Kletter '27
