Bakari Awards 2024
Bakari is a Swahili word meaning “of a noble promise”; it was adapted by Prep Alumni serving as a motto of the African American Alumni Association (A4) as the organization evolved, providing mentorship to students of color at the Prep.
The Bakari Awards is an annual awards ceremony recognizing the academic and leadership achievements of the Prep's Black, Indigenous, Latino, and Asian American Pacific Islander scholars. Each year we recognize outstanding students, faculty/staff, and alumni who have demonstrated academic excellence and leadership in their fields.
The ceremony is also a time to honor our racially and ethnically diverse Seniors with the ceremonial multicultural graduation stole which symbolizes their transition from Prep students, to distinguished alumni of the Prep. It invites these alumni into the fold of the A4 to continue serving our students and fulfilling that noble promise.
