Seton Hall Prep is New Jersey’s oldest Catholic college preparatory school. The Prep's tradition is matched by its commitment to the education of young men by teaching them to think critically, communicate effectively and become contributing members of society.
At Seton Hall Prep, students participate in many of the amazing offerings available to them outside of the classroom. This includes 15 sports, more than 70 activities and clubs, a variety of intramurals and a seemingly endless number of service projects.
“To equip the holy ones for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the extent of the full stature of Christ.”
Seton Hall Prep honored its Class of 2025 with the traditional Baccalaureate Mass and Awards Ceremony at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart followed by the school's 165th Commencement Exercises at Seton Hall University. Prior to graduation weekend, seniors were also honored prior to their final day of classes at the Celebration of Excellence assembly in early May.
Friday's (5/30) Baccalaureate Mass and Awards Ceremony honored students who achieved excellence across a variety of academic disciplines, and exceptional involvement and success in extracurricular programs.
On Sunday (6/1) 203 seniors were awarded Seton Hall Prep diplomas, and the crowd was addressed by school Headmaster, Mr. Michael G. Gallo '79, Chaplain, Fr. Bogumil Misiuk '08, Salutatorian, Kaden K. Frei, Director of College Placement, Mr. Ben Laster, and Valedictorian, Gregory J. Garcia. The graduates were presented by Dean of Faculty, Mrs. Lisa Sgaramella. To conclude the ceremony, Assistant to the President, Fr. Bogumil Misiuk '08, gave a final blessing and Director of Alumni Relations, Mr. Matthew Nesto '12, welcomed these young men into the alumni association.
Three major awards were bestowed upon students during the ceremony, including:
