Sixty-three graduating seniors representing 21 Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of Baltimore were recognized as “distinctive scholars” for their academic excellence and leadership.
The awards were presented April 24 during convocation at Towson Catholic High School. Three students from each school received the award. Bishop W.
