The Cum Laude Society
The Cum Laude Society is a national organization founded in 1906. Chapters in both public and private secondary schools exist to encourage and recognize academic excellence. The OES chapter is open to selected Juniors and Seniors.

Alumni Award
This Award is given annually by vote of the faculty to a Senior who, through the three-fold aspects of academic accomplishment, demonstrated leadership, and loyalty, has promoted the ideals and growth of Oregon Episcopal School.

The Bishop Dagwell Award
This recognition is awarded annually by the faculty to the young man in the Senior Class who best reflects the dedication, intelligence, and service seen in the life of Benjamin Dunlap Dagwell, Fifth Bishop of Oregon and benefactor of Oregon Episcopal School. Recalling his example, the recipient of this award shows particular promise of continuing the use of his talents in the service of others.

The Mary Rodney Award
This award is presented annually by the faculty to the young woman in the Senior Class who best reflects the intelligence, energy, and self-direction of Mary Rodney, a founder of St. Helens Hall. As her life was devoted in a remarkable way to the education of girls, the recipient of this award shows particular promise of continuing the use of her talents in the service of others.

The Head of School Award
The Head of School Award is given annually to the Senior who has been an Oregon Episcopal School student for at least two years and has the highest cumulative grade point average.

The Patron’s Award
The Patron’s Award is given annually by vote of the Faculty to the student who has demonstrated the most exemplary positive participation in the life of the School. He or she has made a difference, just as patrons and benefactors of the School have made a difference. OES owes its excellence in part to such selfless supporters, adult and student alike.

J. Milne Manson Award
This award is given in memory of J. Milne Manson, M.D., father of former Headmaster, The Rev. Canon Malcolm Manson, and honors a student whose unusual growth in any or all areas of School life reflects credit on both the student’s own efforts and those of the student’s teachers.

Susan E. McClave Award
This award is given annually to a member of the OES Senior Class who, in the opinion of the Upper School faculty, best exemplifies a giving spirit toward others. In further defining giving spirit this award seeks to recognize an instinctive and selfless personal quality that is understanding of and sensitive to the human needs of others. In addition, this award recognizes a gentleness of spirit that responds by befriending others and participating actively in the OES community.

Student Body Award
Established by students in 1998, the Student Body Award is both student-funded and student-selected. This award will be given annually to a member of the Upper School Student Body who, in the eyes of the students, has consistently demonstrated respect, honesty, and integrity as well as a caring attitude throughout his or her time at OES. The recipient is a role model with a positive attitude, and an overall commitment to peers.
