From Bacon to Beyond: Assisi Scholars Reveal Their College Choices

Roger Bacon’s Assisi Scholar Program stands as a truly unique and transformative honors experience. More than just an academic distinction, the program cultivates excellence in leadership, service, and personal growth.

Our Assisi Scholars represent the very best of Roger Bacon - not only in the classroom, but across every facet of school life. Over the past four years, these students have excelled in academics, athletics, the arts, extracurriculars, and service.

To celebrate the completion of their journey, the Assisi Scholars recently embarked on a pilgrimage to Assisi and Rome, Italy - an unforgettable capstone experience rooted in the Franciscan tradition.

We congratulate these outstanding students on their remarkable achievements and thank them for the many ways they have enriched our community.
