This scholarship was created in memory of John D. O’Brien, who was commissioned by Archbishop Alter to raise the necessary funds to build Archbishop Alter High School. The John D. O’Brien Scholarship will be awarded to a student that truly exemplifies what it means to be a team player, not necessarily the star student. The selected recipient will be a student who works hard, is respected by their peers, has a great attitude, is coachable and gives maximum effort.
