The Roncalli High School community will celebrate R Family Day tomorrow, Saturday, April 5th from 11 AM - 2 PM in the Roncalli auditorium. Since 2020, R Family Day has sought to broaden the community’s understanding of the customs and traditions of all of our students and to deepen social awareness and understanding by celebrating the cultural richness of our community. The day will include a cultural fair including community organizations, a program featuring talented students from Roncalli and other schools and a fashion show. 

Do you know someone whose dedication, service and commitment deserve to be celebrated? Now is the perfect time to nominate them for the 2025 Circle of Faith Distinction Awards!

Each year, Roncalli High School presents awards to recognize individuals who embody excellence in their careers, contribute meaningfully to our community and live out their Catholic faith with passion and devotion. Whether it's an alumnus, parent, faculty/staff member, volunteer, or community leader — if someone has made a significant impact, now is your chance to honor them! Please take a moment to nominate a deserving recipient for one of the following awards:

• Alumni of the Year
• Honorary Alumni
• Volunteer of the Year
• St. John XXIII Award
• ROYAL Award

These awards not only acknowledge the exceptional individuals who support and strengthen Roncalli High School, but they also highlight the important role each of us plays in nurturing the faith, growth, and leadership of today’s students — tomorrow’s leaders.



The 2025 Roncalli Circle of Faith Distinction Award recipients will be announced in July 2025, and winners will be honored at the Circle of Faith Distinction Dinner on September 18, 2025.

Senior Sean Stahl was named to the Kiwanis Circle of Valor at the 50th annual Abe Lincoln Awards on Friday, February 7. The program celebrates students who have overcome adversity while achieving success. Sean was one of only 21 area high school seniors who received the Kiwanis Club of Indianapolis Abe Lincoln Award.

The Abe Lincoln scholarship program was created in 1976 to recognize students who have overcome unimaginable hardships and to provide financial aid to assist them in continuing their goals. Kiwanis aims to guide young people by providing a community that cares about, recognizes and encourages them.

Sean was recognized for this award because he has overcome great adversity at such a young age. Sean will attend Indiana State University in the fall to pursue professional aviation flight technology. 

Lisa Beckwith R'01, director of guidance and school counselor at Roncalli, commented, “This award series seeks to celebrate high school students who have persevered through significant adversity and achieved success. Sean is constantly found with a smile on his face, sharing his gratitude for God's gifts and encouraging others. He is such an inspiring young man and well deserving of this award.”
