November Recipients of the Continuum Coins
December 8th, 2025
Every month, eight Continuum Coins (2 per House) are awarded each month by faculty and staff to students who embody these attributes, accompanied by a personalized note.
The Continuum Coins were founded by ASB President Lana Stewart, who dreamed of bringing the Pacifica Person to life. She asked how we might celebrate these attributes in everyday campus life—and call one another to live them out. From that vision came the Continuum Coins. Inspired by the Pacifica Continuum—our picture of education as a joy-filled, freedom-shaping adventure.
