Read MoreThe Fenwick High School Friar Excellence Award is an honor bestowed upon distinguished alumni of Fenwick High School who have achieved exceptional success in their professional and personal lives in the areas of public service, the arts, education, business and entrepreneurship, law, science, service, faith, healthcare, or other pursuits.
The Accipiter Award
In addition to the institutional awards presented by Fenwick, the Fenwick Bar Association annually honors one of its members with the Accipiter Award.
The Accipiter Award was first presented in 1997 as a way to honor members of the Fenwick community who have distinguished themselves in the legal profession. "Accipiter" is a Latin word meaning "hawk." The award was named in honor of Fr. Joseph Hren, O.P., longtime teacher of Latin at Fenwick High School. Fr. Hren often was known among students as The Hawk for his devotion to detail and accuracy and his love for Latin, the language of the Law.
