JCA President/Principal Dr. Jeffrey Budz is pleased to announce the 2024 Hall of Champions: Business & Industry: Daniel J. Allen, Ph.D. ‘86, Sister Jeanne Bessette, OSF, Ed.D., Gary Colabuono ‘69, Michelle (Hibler ’86) Jankowski, Jean Kenol ‘94, M. Christine (Wicklein ’66) Schwartz, RN. The Hall of Champions has become a staple in the JCA community, honoring past Angels and Hilltoppers for their accomplishments in business, industry, and athletics.

The mission of the Hall of Champions: Business & Industry is to honor SFA, JCHS, and JCA graduates for their accomplishments throughout their professional careers ranging from medicine, law, education, entertainment, business, technology, and more. With over 23,700 alumni and counting, the lessons instilled by both the Carmelites and Franciscans over JCA’s 154-year history of Catholic education in the Joliet community has consistently cultivated leaders that have produced a world-wide impact.

Dr. Jeffrey Budz said, “We are very proud to be honoring another set of great leaders that have come from the halls of Joliet Catholic, St. Francis Academy and JCA.  Our honorees have not only contributed greatly to their respected industry, they have generously given to the JCA community and have led by example for all current Angels and Hilltoppers. Congratulations to the Business and Industry Class of 2024!  We are grateful and proud to consider you a key member of the JCA Family!”
