The Head of School Prize is presented to a senior who best exemplifies the school motto - Esse Quam Videri - to be rather than to seem. The Benjamin R. Fisher Award was established to honor a senior who, like Mr. Fisher, has given outstanding service to Ellis. The Augustus K. Oliver Cup is given each year by faculty vote to the senior who represents the highest ideals of scholarship, athletic participation, and citizenship.

The 2015 Fato Snyderman Latin Award was given to Brittany Nicole Ellis, who also received the 2013 Callomon Underclassman Award, which is given to an underclassman who, as exemplified by former Upper School Head Judith Callomon, shows potential for leadership in the school.                                                                 
The 2014 Foster Art Award was given to Heather Sky Harrington.  This award is presented annually to a junior art student chosen by the visual arts faculty who shows promise as an artist; who values the process of creating art; and who has the potential to excel in her craft. Heather also received the 2014 Virginia P. Stevenson Award, which is given to recognize the excellence of one junior's American History research paper and is named for the former chair of The Ellis School History department.
