Salesianum School Recognized by Jefferson Awards as Delaware Recipient for Outstanding Service by a High School for a Second Consecutive Year

Salesianum School has been recognized by the Jefferson Awards for Public Service Youth Service Initiative as the Delaware Recipient for Outstanding Service by a High School. This is the second consecutive year that the school has been honored. Student leaders from Salesianum will represent Salesianum and the state of Delaware at the Jefferson Awards National Gala in Washington DC, June 15 – 17.

“The entire school community is extremely honored to be recognized by the Jefferson Awards,” said Fr. Bill McCandless, OSFS, principal. “Service to the community is an integral part of the entire educational experience at Salesianum, and we are pleased that the Jefferson Awards join us in recognizing the importance of service to the community.”

Salesianum was selected at the 2009 Youth Service Spring Competition and Conference for best highlighting the programs’ seven deliverables in the Jefferson Awards Turnkey System and for their philanthropic contribution to the community and their school. They have helped to pave the way for greater volunteerism throughout the state of Delaware.

Salesianum School is a Roman Catholic independent secondary school that teaches young men to Live Jesus, guided by the spirituality of Saint Francis de Sales, through a college preparatory education, enabling them to take their place in the world as Salesian gentlemen.
