The Peter T. Menke Scholar-Athlete Award (a.k.a. The Menke Award)

Peter T. Menke was our Athletic Director at Paul VI for 10 years. Sadly, he passed away in February 2011, shortly after retiring from over 40 years in education and athletics. Pete was known and loved by many for his positive attitude, big heart, intense loyalty, honesty and fairness. The "Menke Award" is an award for Senior (or Junior, if a Senior is not available) who exemplifies Pete's characteristics.

This student-athlete must:

• Be in high academic standing
• Be an excellent citizen
• Have little or no disciplinary record
• Be among the top performing athletes in our school.  

This award is PVI's highest honor for our student-athletes.  A senior male and female school-wide Menke Award Winner is selected from this group of athletes and named at Commencement in June.
