Our annual Upper School Prize Day celebrates the academic growth and leadership of our ninth-eleventh grade students. Although we are not able to meet in person in Brauer Auditorium for the awards ceremony this year, we won’t let that stop us from honoring this year’s well-deserving prize recipients. Congratulations to the honorees and to all MICDS students for their hard work and determination expressed throughout the school year!
