Bishop Feehan High School president Chris Servant ’66 and principal Sean Kane presented 11 incoming members of the class of 2020 with Presidential and Principal scholarships, as well as the first ever Mercy Spirit scholarship at a dinner in their honor. The President’s Scholarships were presented to those students who score highest on Bishop Feehan’s entrance exam and the Principal’s Scholarship were given to five students who display exceptional leadership potential in one or more areas. The Mercy Spirit Scholarship honors the life and memory of Bishop Feehan’s beloved Sister of Mercy, Sr. Patricia Harrington, and was given to a student “whose life reflects the gifts of dedication, faith and service that Sr. Pat exemplified every day of her life.”

The keynote speaker and 2014 Feehan grad, Sammy McSweeny, business major at Providence College, spoke about her positive experiences as a student at Feehan.
