Bowdoin College has given the 2014 Abraxas Award to Lakeside School in Seattle.

The Abraxas Award is presented annually to the secondary school sending two or more graduates to Bowdoin whose representatives maintain the highest standing during their first year at the College.

Those two students in the Class of 2017 are Eileen Bates and Amanda Milloy.

The Abraxas Award was established in 1915 by the Abraxas Society, a former Bowdoin junior class scholarly society that was active from 1893 to about 1924.
