On Wednesday, May 14th, following Mass, the JSerra community came together to celebrate another remarkable year for our students at the 2024–2025 Underclassmen Awards Ceremony.

During the ceremony, we recognized students who received faculty awards as well as those who went above and beyond in exceeding their Christian service hour requirements.

The final honor of the event was the presentation of the Gillian Marie Sabet Scholarship, awarded to one student who embodies Gillian's spirit, attitude, and legacy at JSerra. This year’s recipient was CJ Austin.

Please take a moment to read the heartfelt tribute delivered by Dean of Students, Tom Waszak, prior to the announcement of this year’s recipient.

JSerra Catholic High School proudly welcomes alumni Rachel Wright (Class of 2018) and Mariclare Coffin (Class of 2020) as Campus Ministers, returning to inspire the next generation of Lions. Rachel, a former lacrosse standout and ASB leader, and Mariclare, an Arts Magnet Program cornerstone, credit their formative JSerra experiences for shaping their faith and passions. Both women are committed to fostering authentic relationships, supporting students’ spiritual growth, and building a vibrant faith community on campus.

A JSerra Alumni First! Mary Kelly and Patrick Kelly may be the first, but certainly not the last! Mary Kelly '09 is the first JSerra alumna to send her child to JSerra. Patrick Kelly '28 just begun his Freshman year here,  and is following in his Mother's footsteps.
