Alumni Awards

Each year the Alumni Association honors alumni for their accomplishments professionally and in their communities, and for their service to their school.

Please contact the alumni office if you wish to nominate a candidate for an award.

2025 Recipient

william f. ward ’63

The Outstanding Alumnus Award recognizes a St. Paul’s graduate who has excelled in his chosen field but who has not necessarily remained in an active role with the school—though many winners of this Award have. The Outstanding Alumnus Award is given only in years when the Board of the Alumni Association selects a worthy candidate.

2025 Outstanding Alumnus Recipient

William Marshall ’71

Graduation from St. Paul’s within the last fifteen (15) years
Promotes the idea of maintaining ties to St. Paul’s through volunteerism and monetary support to the senior class
Was an integral part of the student body while at St. Paul’s
Respected and remembered by the senior class through athletic, academic, or artistic achievements while a student at St. Paul’s
On a promising career path or a proven integral part of his college or university
Should have good memories of his experiences at St. Paul’s, and can discuss with current seniors how his ties to the school helped him in college and after graduation

2025 Distinguished Young Alumnus Recipient

LaMonte A. Wade Jr. ’12

Honorary Alumnus

This Award is presented to a member of the St. Paul’s community who is not a graduate of the School. Candidates must have longevity of service and have made outstanding contributions to St. Paul’s while demonstrating an ongoing commitment to its values and mission. The Honorary Alumnus Award is given only in years when the Board of the Alumni Association selects a worthy candidate; over the years very few have been awarded.
