SENIOR AWARDS
The Padua Franciscan community celebrated its outstanding students during the Senior Awards Assembly on Friday, May 25, 2018. About 90% of the Class of 2018 has been offered one or more non-need-based scholarships amounting to over $14 million. These scholarships testify to the quality and value of a Padua Franciscan education.
The Class of 2018’s valedictorian was Kristen Seballos (4.888 GPA). The salutatorian is Marie Pinzone (4.824 GPA).
In keeping with Padua tradition, each year the Padua faculty has the honor of selecting one senior young man and woman who best represent the ideals of Padua Franciscan High School. The awards of Mr. and Miss Paduan are given to the seniors who exemplify the finest characteristics of the ideal Padua man and woman. All facets of personality are considered in the selection for this honor including Christian values, Franciscan compassion, academic dedication, strong character, superior leadership qualities, and concerned citizenship.
