Marian Catholic High School recognized outstanding underclassmen for their academic achievement, service to others and commitment to excellence during the 2025-26 school year.
Students were honored with departmental awards in Theology, English, Science, Mathematics, Social Studies and World Languages. Additional recognition was given to members of the Immaculate Heart Society for exceptional service to their communities and to students who achieved perfect attendance.
The awards celebrate students who exemplify Marian Catholic’s mission of academic excellence, faith formation, leadership and service.
“The students recognized today represent the very best of Marian,” said the Rev. Robert Finlan, principal. “These awards honor not only academic accomplishment but also perseverance, character and a commitment to personal growth. We are proud of the dedication these young men and women have shown throughout the school year, and we look forward to seeing them continue to develop their God-given talents as leaders in our school and community.”
Special recognition was given to the Immaculate Heart Society, comprised of students who completed at least three times the required number of service hours for their grade level.
