  2. Niehaus Family President’s Excellence Award, initiated in 2013 for excellence. 
  • The deadline for submission of your nominations for these awards is Tuesday, December 1, 2020.
The following awards for unique professional development are determined through an application process.
  1. Sr. Mary Mardel Fund for Professional Development is given to a member of the elementary schools’ faculty;
  2. Sr. Ann Conroy Award Fund for Professional Development is awarded to a member of the staff or high schools’ faculty.
  • The deadline for the Professional Development Awards application is Tuesday, December 1, 2020.
