Sharing the Future > Toal Alumni Achievement Awards > Purpose

Mrs. Frances Toal, in memory of her husband, recognized that Immaculate Conception School has many prominent and successful graduates, and believing that children need important role models, created this alumni achievement award program to recognize alumni of ICS who's professional distinction, civic leadership, their Catholic faith, service to community, and individual accomplishments of of the highest esteem. The real beneficiaries are the current and future generations of students of Immaculate Conception School!

Each year, one male and one female graduate, having distinguished themselves in their professional life, where they exemplify leadership and ethical standards will be awarded the James J. Toal, Ph.D. Alumni Achievement Award.

In the Fall of 2001, the Toal family permanently endowed this alumni achievement program to cover overhead expenses of this program. Gifts to support this program are welcome. We seek the assistance of alumni to nominate classmates and alumni beginning with members of the classes of 1917 through 1967.

Candidates shall be distinguished in their life’s work, worthy endeavors, and in deeds and actions which reflect and recognize the importance of their Catholic education at Immaculate Conception School. Candidates for the award will only be considered by application. 

Please contact the development office or use the Website to receive a nomination application or contact us for further information. December 1 is the latest date that nominations will be accepted.

The James J. Toal, Ph. D. Alumni Achievement Awards Dinner is annually held the first week of May. Selected recipients are invited back to Immaculate Conception to share their lifetime experiences with our school children. A permanent plaque at the school records the names of the our distinguished alumni.
