Past Presidents And Award Recipients

Rich in tradition and history, many Seton Hall Prep graduate’s fathers have reigned in the position of President, some even graduates themselves. All of these men possessed an unrivaled passion for and a willingness to serve our school. It is under their watchful eye of these great men that the Fathers Club has flourished and provided our boys with the needed support to make their experience here at Seton Hall Prep second to none.

In addition, many fathers have served in great capacities. The Fathers Club recognizes these men with the presentation of two awards each year, the Thomas Reynolds award and the Art Williams award.

The Thomas Reynolds Award is presented to a father who exemplifies the Christian tradition in every facet of his or her relationships with their fellowman; has consistently shown themselves to be devoted to the welfare of the student body at Seton Hall Prep; and has consistently remained an active member of the Prep community, giving of themselves and their commitment beyond the usual degree of involvement. This award is bestowed in the memory of Thomas Reynolds who was one of the founders of the Fathers Club.

The Art Williams Award is presented to a father for his endless effort and support to the Fathers Club. The award is bestowed in memory of the late early 70s Fathers Club stalwart Art Williams, whose tireless “behind the scenes” efforts over many years has been the hallmark of the Fathers Club.
We thank all of men who served the Fathers Club before us and for for their countless hours of service and endless dedication to Seton Hall Prep and all it stands for.
