The Carondelet Award Megan Medeiros Emily Lucot The highest honor bestowed on a Carondelet High School graduate, the Carondelet Award recognizes the senior who reflects and exemplifies the Carondelet ideals of academics, leadership, service, character, and loyalty, and who personifies the quote: “Called to be light: Sent forth to shine.” This year’s Carondelet Award recipient is Megan Mederios. As president of the Associated Student Body (ASB) Council, Megan has been a motivated, charismatic, compassionate, humorous, and responsible young woman. "I count on her as I would an adult colleague," said Sarah Daniel, director of student activities. "She is a phenomenal person who can only continue to grow and make a difference in the world."
