Hall of Honor

The Hall of Honor is an annual recognition program sponsored by the Benilde-St. Margaret's Board of Directors and held on the Monday of Catholic Schools Week. It is designed to consistently and publicly honor the heritage of BSM, salute the dedication and service of the volunteer community, and reward the professional longevity of employees. BSM values greatly the work and commitment of parents, alums, staff, and benefactors, and this program provides an opportunity to validate the school's gratitude.

The award categories are Red Knight Leadership Award, Distinguished Alumni Award, Volunteer Service Award, and Employee Service Award. Nominations for the first three categories come from the greater BSM community: alums, current and past parents, friends, and current and former employees. Employees are recognized after twenty years of service. Final candidates are determined by an awards committee and presented to the board for approval.

This year's event will be held Monday, Feb. 1, 2010. A reception will begin at 5:30 p.m., with dinner and a program following at 6:30 p.m.
