Christ the King High School
unveiled a plaque in memory
and recognition of Robert A.
Normandia, who served as vicechairman
of the school’s board of
trustees for 40 years.
“We honor and memorialize Robert
Normandia, who for over 40 years,
had selflessly served the students
and the entire Christ the King family,”
said Serphin R. Maltese, chairman of
Christ the King’s board of trustees.
“He will continue to be an inspiration
to the Christ the King community for
many years to come.”
The school remembered Normandia
for “tirelessly advocating” for its
students. Normandia served on the
original committee to “Save Christ
the King High School,” and helped
Bishop Bryan J. McEntergart with
his appeal drive to build Christ the
King High School in 1962.
He served as the vice-chair of the
school’s board of trustees from 1977
until his death in 2019.
In honor of Normandia’s work,
the plaque was unveiled at a Feb. 10
Photo courtesy of Christ the King
basketball game, which was televised
on ESPN. This was a particularly
important moment, as Normandia
helped build the high school’s
“award-winning athletic programs
and strengthened the school’s reputation
for academic excellence. ”
A Christ the King spokesperson
said the school has “lost a great
champion in Robert Normandia”
and “he will be deeply missed by
all.”
