Notre Dame will continue its great annual tradition by awarding its Knights of Honor award to Rex and Maureen Ralwinson and the Fritz B. Burns Foundation. Rex and Maureen are the parents of three Notre Dame graduates, Justin ’91, Neil ’94 and Ian ‘97. Rex served on the NDHS Board of Directors in the late 1990’s and, as a Director of the Fritz B. Burns Foundation (along with Maureen), was instrumental in the foundation’s major support and construction of the Fritz B. Burns Center for Arts and Technology. The foundation’s support continued for the construction of the Br. Robert Hampton, CSC Science Building, the planned Joseph Rawlinson Aquatic Center (2013) and the renovation of the gymnasium (2014). The service, devotion and generosity of the Fritz B. Burns Foundation and the Rawlinson Family is a gift that has served thousands of Notre Dame students and they are deserving recipients of the 2013 Knights of Honor Award.
Notre Dame High School also is pleased to announce it will honor several athletic inductees to its Hall of Fame preceding the Knight of Honor award presentation. The Hall of Fame began inducting athletes in 2011 and this is the third induction class.
