2023 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.

Eligibility

Nominations will be accepted for individuals in the following categories:

Distinguished Centurion: Service Award—This award recognizes an alum who demonstrates strong Catholic values and a commitment to faith, family and community.
Distinguished Centurion: Achievement Award—This award recognizes an alum for their outstanding professional achievements and community involvement.
Distinguished Centurion: Young Alum Award—This award recognizes an alum under the age of 40 that has demonstrated the value of their Greensburg Central Catholic education through their post-college professional and/or service achievements.
Distinguished Centurion: Community Award—This award recognizes a Greensburg Central Catholic alum or non-alum who has positively impacted the Central community through the devotion of time, efforts and/or talents.

Nominees must exemplify faith, values, and humility as shown by the official mascot of Greensburg Central Catholic, the Centurion. (Refer to: Matthew: 8, 5-10, 13 and Mark: 15, 37-39)

An alum needs only to be nominated once to be considered for the award. Having multiple individuals nominate the same alum will not have an effect on the process.

Note: An individual may only receive the recognition of “Distinguished Centurion” once. Previous winners are not eligible.
