Congratulations to senior William Ilardi on winning the Stephen Tompsett Award essay contest. William received a trophy and a $500 scholarship award. He qualified for consideration by being a resident of Garden City and for writing an essay. One award is given annually to a resident of Garden City who attends a public school, and another is given to a student who attends a Catholic school. William is the first Kellenberg student to earn this award.
