Past Presidents And Award Recipients
Rich in tradition and history, many fathers of Seton Hall Prep graduates have proudly served as Presidents of the Fathers Club, some of them Prep graduates themselves. Each of these men brought an unwavering passion for Seton Hall Prep and a deep commitment to serving our school community. Under their leadership, the Fathers Club has continued to flourish, providing invaluable support to our boys and helping ensure that their experience at Seton Hall Prep is second to none.
In addition to our past Presidents, many fathers have served the school in significant and meaningful ways. Each year, the Fathers Club recognizes these contributions through two distinguished honors: the Thomas Reynolds Award and the Art Williams Award.
The Thomas Reynolds Award is presented to a father who exemplifies the Christian tradition in all aspects of their relationships with others; has demonstrated consistent dedication to the welfare of Seton Hall Prep students; and has remained an active, generous member of the Prep community beyond the usual level of involvement. This award is given in memory of Thomas Reynolds, one of the founding members of the Fathers Club.
The Art Williams Award is presented to a father whose tireless effort and support have made a lasting impact on the Fathers Club. The award honors the late Art Williams, a devoted member from the early 1970s, whose steadfast “behind‑the‑scenes” service helped define the spirit of the Fathers Club.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all the men who have served before us, for their countless hours of service and unwavering dedication to Seton Hall Prep and all that it represents.
