On Monday May 12th, the Office of Catholic Schools celebrated the 2025 Archdiocesan Summa Scholars Award Ceremony at The Pastoral Center in Bloomfield. The purpose of the Summa award is for educational leaders to personally recognize the students who have committed exceptional time, energy, and care in the pursuit of superior academic achievement.  The summa scholar represents the top 5% of his or her graduating class in terms of outstanding academic achievement from freshman year to the close of the first semester of senior year, based on their cumulative grade point average (GPA). 

As each Summa Scholar presented had the opportunity to recognize their honored teacher and speak for one to two minutes about how this teacher inspired them along their academic journey and made a significant impression on their academic success. 

The Sacred Heart Academy 2025 SUMMA scholars and their teacher honorees are:

• Kelly Blute – Honoree Teacher Mary Lee Delaney
• Maya Quaranta – Honoree Teacher Susan Allen
• Chloe Retuya – Honoree Teacher Vesna Mehinovic
• Avery Stewart – Honoree Teacher Michael Marcello
