A major tradition of Taste of the Town is to recognize and present the annual Ring of Honor Award. The Ring of Honor is an award presented to an individual or individuals who have made a significant contribution to Saint Joseph Academy, especially to its Athletic Programs, and has helped advance our School and local community. Nominees are submitted to the Booster Club, and the recipient is selected by a majority vote of the Booster membership.
