Members of the Class of 2028 gathered in the Commons on June 5 to celebrate the conclusion of their first year at Prep with the annual Magis Awards.

Each year, Prep freshmen nominate their own peers for these honors, which recognize those among them who most embody the Jesuit ideal of the magis—striving toward the “more” or the “greater.” Like the Spirit Awards, the Magis Awards recognize freshmen for their involvement, their generosity, and their character.

Director of Admissions Mr. John Irvine, ’83, P’11 started the day and welcomed returning members of the recently graduated Class of 2025 to present Magis Awards to the following freshmen for 2025:

  • Luis Espina, ’28 of Ridgefield
  • Desmond Tripp, ’28 of Jersey City
  • Kayshav Mittal, ’28 of New York
  • London Cassadayho, ’28 of Jersey City
  • Benjamin Gourley, ’28 of Jersey City
  • Angelo Galati, ’28 of Ridgefield
  • Calvin Sy, ’28 of Union City
  • Johens Celestin, ’28 of Jersey City
  • Joshua Chiaravalloti, ’28 of Bayonne
  • Liam Angley, ’28 of Teaneck 
  • Vivaan Tiwari, ’28 of West New York
  • Jude Siperstein, ’28 of Scotch Plains
  • Isaac Kang, ’28 of Fort Lee
  • Rolando Intal, ’28 of Union
  • Harrison Green, ’28 of Hoboken

We thank Ms. Trish Fitzpatrick, P’07,’16; Mr. John Irvine, ’83, P’11; Mr. Mike Wright, ’10; and Ms. Grace Gualario for their contributions to this year’s celebration.
