Award Presented to Juniors Pursuing a Degree in Education

Congratulations to Montini Catholic junior
Colleen Considine
of Naperville for earning the Weisenburger Family Scholarship for 2023. The scholarship is awarded annually to a student at Montini Catholic High School who has expressed an interest in pursuing a degree in education. The award was presented by Montini graduate and faculty member, Andrew Weisenburger '05, during Montini Catholic's annual Founder's Day Celebration on Friday, May 19th. Colleen was selected for her demonstration of outstanding leadership in the classroom as well as in extracurricular activities throughout her high school career as a Montini Bronco.
Colleen, a member of Montini Catholic's National Honor Society (inducted during her junior year), earned GCAC Academic All Conference (Golf) honors this past year for earning a 3.0+ GPA for a complete academic quarter during the 2022 fall sports season. She is also a 5th Semester recipient of the IHSA Scholastic Recognition Award, also in Golf.
She also received, this spring, the 2023 John L. Duffy Memorial Scholarship Award for her role as team manager of the Varsity Girls Basketball Team.
The Weisenburger Family Scholarship is in gratitude for the transformative Lasallian education that was received by Cathy '70, Marc '71, Carolyn (Drengler) '72, Wally '75, Joe '78, Andrew '05 and Kimmy '07 Weisenburger. It was created to honor and remember Walter and Catherine Weisenburger who, as patriarchs of the family, recognized and valued Catholic education. "It is a special thank you for all they sacrificed to send all four of their children to Catholic schools," said Wally, who was formerly the Chairman of Montini's Board of Directors.
Colleen received a $1,500 credit applied to her 2024-25 MCHS tuition.
