For the first time in the history of St. Aloysius' Annual Scholarship Dinner, two graduates were honored with the Outstanding Alumna and Outstanding Alumnus Awards. Deandra Irving graduated from the Sister Thea Bowman program in 2005 and is a senior at Convent of the Sacred Heart High School. Braulio Perez graduated from the St. Aloysius Gonzaga program in 2005 and is a senior at Fordham Prep High School.
