Senior Spirit Award The Alumnae Association Senior Spirit Award recognizes a student for her outstanding loyalty and dedication to the goals and objectives of Immaculata Academy. This student is also likely to continue her dedication as an alumna. The administration, faculty and staff of IA submit nominations for the Senior Spirit Award each spring.
The 2008 Senior Spirit Award was awarded to AnneMarie Wapshare.
Susan Stoklosa Skobjak Memorial Scholarship The Alumnae Association of Immaculata Academy presents an annual scholarship in memory of Susan Stoklosa Skobjak, class of 1959. The scholarship is made possible through the generous support of Susan's brother, Dennis, and his wife, Janet Speciale-Stoklosa.
This scholarship is awarded to a graduating senior based on Susan's strong beliefs and wishes to help young women achieve their college goals and dreams. The honoree has maintained a strong scholastic background through her years at IA, but did not receive substantial financial aid. The administration, faculty and staff of IA submit nominations for the scholarship each spring.
The 2008 Susan Stoklosa Skobjak Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Sydney Birmingham.
