Loyola College Prep is proud to announce the 2025 Hall of Honor Inductees: Jon Alston ’01, Pat Harrington ’79, and Jerry Mosely (honorary).
All three inductees have contributed significantly to the school, its legacy, and students.
“We are proud to induct these three individuals this year to the Hall of Honor for their contributions not only to our school and students, but also to society through their professional achievements and service,” said Dr. Laurie Salvail, Principal. “Each of them reflects our three pillars of academic excellence, faith in action, and student involvement. Whether as alumni, parents, teachers, or Flyer fans, they have shared their gifts with Loyola and made an impact well beyond 921 Jordan St.”
The Hall of Honor is the highest recognition anyone can receive at Loyola College Prep. Nominations are submitted each year by alumni and then voted on by past Hall of Honor inductees and the Flyer Alumni Association’s Executive Board.
The Flyer Alumni Association will host a banquet to honor these individuals on October 16, and the following day, the inductees will be officially recognized during halftime of the Flyer Football game.
