(June 12, 2019 – Pelham, NY) The motto of Boston College is “Ever to Excel.” The Co-Chairmen of the Pelham Civic Association’s Community Awards Committee—Darrell Walsh and Michael Ming—just happen to be alumni of Boston College, so it was only natural that, once again, an outstanding group of Pelham Memorial High School students (Juniors & Seniors) were honored with Pelham Civic Association Community Awards.

According to Co-Chair Walsh, “These students are dynamic leaders who have already demonstrated how through their dedication, hard work and sacrifice, they can truly make a difference.”

Co-Chair Ming continued, “Each year our Pelham Civic Awards Committee are honored to meet and interview these outstanding students, and are very encouraged that they will continue their lives as productive volunteers.” Here are the winners of their respective Pelham Civic awards:
