2024 Distinguished Centurion Awards
About
Greensburg Central Catholic’s Distinguished Centurion Awards are intended to honor individuals that have made significant contributions to his/her community, workplace or our school and provide a positive model for our students today. The awards serve to bring honor to the school community and advance the mission of the school.

- An alum that demonstrates strong values and a commitment to faith, family and community.
- An alum who has had outstanding professional achievements and community involvement.
