Aquinas Award Recipient – Cortlyndt Maupin

The Aquinas Medal is named for St. Thomas Aquinas, the patron saint of Catholic schools and students. St. Thomas had a love of learning and an all-embracing love for God. The Aquinas Medal commemorates his dedication and service to God. It is presented each year to the one student from each school who embodies the qualities of Catholic School education: excellence in learning, faithful discipleship, leadership, and service to the school, parish, and community.
