The award celebrates high school students who are using creativity, leadership and compassion to shape a brighter, more equitable future.
As part of this distinction, all five Pine Crest honorees have earned an exclusive invitation to the Limitless World Summit, taking place April 23 and 24, 2026, in Wilmington, Delaware.

Congratulations Alexa, Alejandro, Ava, Georgia and Alexa!
