Conquer the Purple Pilgrim Challenge 2026 – Embark on Your Epic Journey!

The Owen Cup is about recognizing academic growth. It goes to the student who shows the greatest improvement in scholarship, meaning the biggest positive change in academic performance over a period of time. It values progress and learning trajectory, not just who has the highest grades at a single moment.

So why this fits best: the award focuses on how much someone has improved academically, which could be a student who started with lower grades and made substantial gains, rather than someone already at the top. The other options point to achievements in choir, fundraising, or attendance—areas outside scholastic progress—so they don’t align with what the Owen Cup measures.
