On 26th June, 1986, Mr. Michael Hayden, a past pupil of
St. Michael’s, returned to Longford to visit his Alma Mater, for a very special
occasion.
Michael had presented the school with a gift of £2,000 to initiate a Pupil
of the Year Award. A native of Earl Street, Michael had spent most of his life in London
but he had never forgotten his roots in Longford Town. He had regularly visited his
friends and family and kept in contact through the local papers.
Michael’s generous gesture led to the initiation of The Pupil of the
Year Award. It is given to a school leaver on the basis of general conduct and behaviour,
application to school work, and community and sporting involvement.
The award is presented annually by Bishop Colm O’Reilly. The recipient
receives a plaque and a cheque for £50.
