On Tuesday, May 19 during an all-school assembly, Lincoln Academy presented the Second Annual Page Pride Awards.
The award, named for Phil Page ‘70, longtime Lincoln Academy teacher, coach, and Athletic Director who retired in 2025, was established in collaboration with the LA Alumni Council, and celebrates students who demonstrate their Lincoln Academy Eagle Pride at every opportunity and encourage others to join them.
By recognizing the positive influence of these students on the school community, Lincoln Academy hopes to continue Mr. Page’s legacy long after his retirement. Recipients are nominated by Class Deans and the Dean of Students and awarded each year in May.
This year’s recipients were chosen for fostering spirit and pride through their own kindness, enthusiasm, and deep commitment to school tradition.
The 2026 Page Pride Award winners are: seniors Maggie Thompson and Josh Demeritt, juniors Ayesha Giberson and Ryan Powell, sophomores Andrew Minzner & Milo Small, and freshmen Ruby Glenn & Andrew Zimmerman.
They join a spirited cohort with last year’s inaugural recipients: graduates Kadence Rogers, and Drew and EJ Hunt, current seniors Trey Tibbits and Julia Deitrick, juniors Katelyn Prior and Oliver Jonason, and sophomores Olive Pine and Alex Xie.
Page, whose career spanned over 40 years at Lincoln Academy, is infamous among students for his probing historical LA trivia and his enthusiastic school spirit–even after his retirement. Mr. Page is known around the community for his LA-themed black Jeep which can often be found parked at LA events. Page’s Jeep was the inspiration for the Page Pride Jeep trophy.
The trophies were donated by alumni Bob and Lynne Plourde of Coastal Lockerroom and presented by Donovan York, long-time LA coach, parent, and member of the Alumni Council who graduated in the LA Class of 1983.
According to York, the award not only honors the legacy of Phil Page but also “sets a powerful precedent for recognizing everyday leaders whose pride and positivity shape the heart of the Lincoln Academy experience.”
