McCarthy Earns NROTC Scholarship

In December, representatives of the U.S. Navy presented senior Teddy McCarthy, ’23 with a ceremonial check, representing a Naval ROTC Scholarship offer. NROTC scholars are selected via a competitive application process, designed to identify students with the personal qualities and academic background to succeed in the Naval ROTC program and ultimately as commissioned officers in the United States Navy. The scholarship is applicable at any one of 63 colleges and universities that host a Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps program. Teddy plans to attend Villanova University. t

A Marauder with the Heart of a Giant

Not much gets past Prep senior London Robinson, ’23, whether on the Marauders’ defensive line, or in the classroom where he is a straight-A student. But Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (along with London’s teammates and a gym full of students, faculty, and staff members) managed to surprise him in a big way as he received the USA Football Heart of a Giant Award during a ceremony in the gym.

The award celebrates “a relentless work ethic and unmatched love for the game,” commitment, character, teamwork, dedication, and will. London knew he was one of 11 finalists, and thought that was the reason for the ceremony. The first sign he was the winner was the sight of Sterling Shepard, trophy in hand!

The Princeton commit also earned a $10,000 grant as well as two tickets to Super Bowl 57. The latter came courtesy of Prep trustee Roman Oben, P’19,’22, Vice President of Football Development for the NFL.
