In addition, the 1981 Lady Spartans softball team, the first squad in the school’s history to win a state championship, will also be inducted.
Aloia, the school’s Main Office secretary and first employee, was selected for her devotion to her job, as well as thousands of volunteer hours over her 30-year tenure.
Hadar was recognized for her professional medical career, including her current position as the first female president of UNC Hospitals, Chapel Hill, N.C. She was previously senior vice president of operations at UNC Hospitals. She began her health care career as a nurse and later became a nurse practitioner.
Riehman, a Technical Sergeant in the United States Air Force, is a percussionist with its Ceremonial Brass. He was a member of the Immaculata Marching Band, instructor and performer.
Logan is among the school’s top women’s basketball scorers, excelled at Manhattan College, N.Y., and is now an insurance executive.
Drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals, Cust has career stats that top the Spartan books in nearly every offensive and defensive category. He works as assistant general manager of Diamond Nation, Flemington.
Morrison, a New Jersey State Trooper for 15 years and a teammate of Cust’s on the baseball team, is Immaculata’s leader in stolen bases and was among the top five prolific hitters in the program’s history. In addition, he was a powerhouse on the gridiron for touchdown and rushing yards production.
Gargiulo distinguished himself as a Spartan defensive standout on the football team, which led to an outstanding career at Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., followed by a stint at the professional international level. He is a senior account executive with Metropolitan Life and serves as a volunteer football coach for his hometown youth program.
Shemesh, an All-American lacrosse player, is an attorney named to the 2020 Edition of “Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch,” laid the groundwork for the school’s lacrosse program.
