In memory of their son, Gerry and Sharon Brick presented this award to Emily Cochrane.
Other awards included student philanthropy funds dispersed to three local causes and the VCI Alumni Wall of Fame award.
Junior and senior varsity sports awards were presented. Student efforts on Student Council, Grad committee, Keychain fundraisers, Teens Against Drunk Driving, the Social Justice and Mental Wellness committees were also recognized.
