Awards

The Michael Award

Conferred directly by the graduating senior class, this honor recognizes the individuals and organizations whose extraordinary contributions deeply enriched the student experience and helped define the graduating class’s journey. Michaelmas is celebrated in the Waldorf community to celebrate the archangel Michael. Michaelmas is a festival of inner strength and initiative, where Michael offers four gifts to mankind: strength, courage, the will to do deeds, and love. The senior class chooses the organization they feel has given the four gifts of Michael to the community.
