Yesterday 8th graders Dominic Garofalo and Alex Arguello received the 2024 Andrew Smialek Leadership Award at St Rita of Cascia High School. "Andrew Smialek '08 Award winners are outstanding, both academically and in extracurriculars. They show strong involvement in school activities and give evidence of having strength of character, creativity and initiative. They have the ability to influence others, and a sense of responsibility and self-discipline. Smialek Award winners are people who will help enrich the religious fabric of the high school they choose to attend, especially by helping to create a robust sense of community." Congratulations, Alex and Dominic! We are so proud! Go Wildcats!
