Eighth graders have the opportunity to receive additional awards for their effort and contribution to St. Jean Vianney. Subject and athletic awards are presented to outstanding athletes and students at an end-of-the-year breakfast. Two eighth grade students (one boy and one girl) who have participated outstandingly in sports are awarded the Danny Maranto Award. A graduation ceremony and mass is held on a Saturday morning in May to confer diplomas to all eighth graders. Also at this ceremony, the Holy Trinity Award, St. Jean Vianney's highest honor, is presented to the best "all-around" student.
