NDCOC Scholarship to St. Irenaeus Graduate

Ty McDowell will attend Servite High School in Anaheim in the Fall with Honors of Entrance in the Math and Science Pathway.

St. Irenaeus 8th Grade graduate Ty McDowell has been awarded a Notre Dame Club of Orange County (NDCOC) Scholarship Award for Outstanding Community Service.

In making the June 5 presentation, NDCOC board member Irv Cuevas said McDowell was honored for exemplifying what it means to “give back” by volunteering and participating in a host of community service programs while at St. Irenaeus.

McDowell was awarded for being an active altar-server at St. Irenaeus Parish; volunteering at evangelization retreats; the parish’s Bible study program; participation in St. I’s Salo Salo Filipino cultural event; organizing the school basketball team’s visit to Precious Life Shelter; and for being an excellent role model for classmates.

McDowell also earned a number of other class honors including the President’s Award with a 3.5+ GPA and Boys Athlete of the Year. Ty will attend Servite High School in Anaheim in the Fall with Honors of Entrance in the Math and Science Pathway.

The $250.00 Scholarship Award recognizes graduating 8th graders at each of the participating Orange County Catholic Diocesan K-through-8 schools. In addition, NDCOC provides each school with plaques on which to list each year’s recipient and photo. Ty is the son of Matt and Susan McDowell.
