Dr. Michael Marinelli '76 Receives 2026 Carl S. Campion Service Award
During each Catholic Schools Week since 2017, Archmere Academy presents the Carl S. Campion Service Award to a member of the Archmere community in recognition of their dedicated service with consistent, selfless giving for the school community, and a commitment to the many facets of Archmere life. Character, dedication, integrity, and humility have defined the lifelong service of Mr. Campion and this year's recipient, Head of School Dr. Michael Marinelli '76, has similarly left his indelible mark on the Archmere community.
Before presenting the award, Mr. Campion addressed the students about what we truly value in a student: character, work ethic, and being a good person. As Principal Katie Thiel wrote in her Friday letter, "This year’s presentation was symbolic in that Mr. Campion presented the award to his Archmere classmate and long-time colleague, Dr. Michael A. Marinelli."
Of his friend from the Class of 1976, Mr. Campion said, “We see the results of Dr. Marinelli’s leadership every day: the renovation of SNH & the PAC, improvements to the Manor, and his determination to keep the Patio in good condition. For many alums, the Patio is the symbol of Archmere. As Head of School, Dr. Marinelli has fostered a community that is welcoming in which everyone is treated with respect. He has maintained & promoted the Norbertine charism and struck a balance between maintaining the legacy and traditions which built this school, and the need to evolve to maintain Archmere’s position as a premier independent school. He knows this community and has led it with a tireless work ethic, humility, integrity, and spirit.”
Upon receipt of his award, Dr. Marinelli addressed the community and expressed how grateful he was to be in the company of a group of selfless and humble individuals such as Mr. Campion.
Congratulations, Dr. Marinelli!
