Two of Academy of Our Lady’s most prestigious awards were presented at the commencement ceremony. The Fiat Voluntas Tua Award at Academy of Our Lady is the highest award presented to a graduate whose life of character, service, leadership and school spirit reflects openness to God’s plan for her and for all those she encounters. The 2019 Fiat Voluntas Tua Award was presented to Gianna Ezeb, of Gretna.
 
The 2019 Golden Scepter Award recipients were Megan Dufrene, of Westwego, for completing more than 900 hours of service. The Golden Scepter Award reflects the image of Mary under the title of “Help of Christians.” Although each graduate is required to fulfill 75 hours of service, the Golden Scepter Award honors a graduate who has gone over and above the required hours.
