FACULTY & STAFF AWARDS
Each spring Dowling Catholic recognizes faculty and staff with two special awards. Named for our founder, the Bishop Dowling Award is given to four faculty or staff members who exemplify our core values - faithful, caring and dedicated - in remarkable ways. This year we are pleased to honor Jessie Smith, Ron Gray, Austin Hall and Kelly Parriott as recipients of the Bishop Dowling Award.
The John Baptiste de La Salle Award
was initiated by Joe Brick and his
family in 2014 in honor of Janet
Brick who passed away in 2011. Each year the Brick family chooses a faculty member who represents the qualities of Janet and the philosophy of de La Salle: to work in a way that makes a difference by touching the hearts of students. We are proud to recognize Lance Shay as the recipient of the John Baptiste de La Salle Award. Congratulations to this year’s award recipients. We are grateful for their exceptional contributions to the mission of Dowling Catholic.
