The Class of 2021 Commencement

As if the pandemic hadn’t piled up enough challenges over the past year, Saturday afternoon Seton Hall Prep flirted with a persistent drizzle, howling KAC winds and put-on-an-overcoat temps while celebrating the Prep's Class of 2021 Commencement, the 161st in the remarkable history of New Jersey's oldest Catholic college preparatory school. • In honoring the 235 members of the class, the school paid homage to the school's traditions, acknowledging dozens of Prep legacies, some of which trace back to the 1940s, and honoring the academic achievements of the current graduates. The nearly full house at the Kelly Athletic Complex were welcomed, first, by SHP President Msgr. Michael E. Kelly '57 and Headmaster Michael G. Gallo '79, and then by the Class Salutatorian Charles R. Williams. A trio of graduates were called forward to receive the school’s most cherished awards: The John J. Murray '59 Award honored Lucas J. Incardona for Embodiment of the The Prep’s Four Pillars; Gabriel B. Ferreiro received the the Vincent A. McIntee Award for Extraordinary Service to All Aspects of Seton Hall Prep Life; and Jordan A. Quiles received the Archbishop Thomas A. Boland Award as the Most Representative Setonian. • Kenneth Y. Huang delivered the Valedictory Address, followed by Chaplain Fr. Bogumil Misiuk ’08 delivering the Final Blessing, and induction of the graduates into the SHP Alumni Association by Headmaster Michael Gallo.
