Awards - The Millay Club

Saints Neumann Goretti - An Anchor Institution in South Philadelphia
Your mother probably had Cinema Theater with Mr. Gagliardi. Your father probably learned Biology from Mr. D'Orazio. You probably grew up watching Cathy Gandolfo on Action News. Your neighbor probably had Mr. Cairy as their football coach. You probably heard June Olkowski averaged 19 points a game. You probably witnessed an argument about "lambs" and "gorillas". You probably remember when we went from Bishop to Saint. Your Pop-Pop probably carried your graduation picture in his wallet. You saw your classmates become CEOs, councilmen, business owners, teachers, parents, and leaders in our community. You're one of us. Be proud. #SaintsofSouthPhilly
