The Dr. Patricia M. Wardell Scholarship was established in 2019. Dr. Wardell worked over 50 years in the field of education, serving the last 14 years of her career as Principal of Holy Name School. During this time, she was constantly devoted to ensuring the school was centered on Jesus Christ and the students attained academic excellence rooted in Catholic values, with a commitment to helping others.

In her honor, the Dr. Patricia M. Wardell Scholarship is awarded each year to a rising middle school student, to be applied to tuition for the forthcoming school year. Applicants will submit a brief essay on “How has Holy Name School helped with your faith and how do you show your faith by helping others?” A committee will conduct a blind-review of essays to determine the recipient.
