Rodney Vondrak
attended St. Vincent High School from 1976-1980. He was diagnosed with leukemia as a sixth grade student at St. Vincent Elementary School and died from that disease just a few months before he graduated from St. Vincent High School.
Rodney had a great love for his school and every spring the students of St. Vincent de Paul High School honor his enthusiasm and dignity with Rodney Vondrak Spirit Events. His family, former classmates, the St. Vincent Parents and Friends Organization, St Joseph's Men's Club in Cotati and our entire school community hold his memory dear by presenting this award in remembrance of him and in the hope that his example will continue to inspire us all.

| Jim & Phyllis Carter established the Carter Community Service Rewards in 2003 to recognize and reward St. Vincent de Paul High School students for their community service work. The Carters want to emphasize the importance of service to others and the value in volunteering to both the giver and the receiver. The recipients of these rewards have shown dedication to their service commitment along with diversity of volunteerism performed. Through these recognitions the Carter's truly support the school's motto of "Enter to learn, leave to serve." |
