2023 Father Ernest D. Sillers Legacy Award

On March 24, St. Mary’s held its annual Tribute to Leadership Assembly at Coast Hills Church. This event is a special tradition at St. Mary’s where we recognize student leaders and present the Father Ernest D. Sillers Legacy Award. Student speakers from each grade level, bravely and beautifully articulated their own experiences and interpretations of service, kindness and the ASB theme “ordinary to extraordinary.”

The assembly culminated with the naming of the 2023 Father Ernest D. Sillers Legacy Award. The Legacy Award honors a Grade 8 student who demonstrates and represents the highest standards of St. Mary’s Four Aces of Leadership through involvement in school, local organizations and the community. Congratulations to the 12 Legacy finalists: Lacey DiNicola, Evan Leddy, Luke Lehman, Logan McGann, Reese Murphy, Gianna Nadruz, Kayla Pedigo, Keagan Rollo, Davin Sharifi, Emily Volk, Emma Withycombe and Eric Zhang.

We are honored to share Lacey DiNicola is the 2023 Legacy Award winner. Since preschool, Lacey has proven to be a caring, balanced and principled IB learner. She has actively been involved in St. Mary’s by participating in MUN, serving as an ambassador, supporting the school yearbook team and representing Falcon pride as a student-athlete in volleyball, basketball and track. Lacey spends her free time serving the greater community through her church and National Charity League.

Congratulations to Lacey, the Legacy finalists and the student leaders in our Falcon community.
