The James O’Malley Scholarship Program at St. Peter’s Boys High School was established in 2018 by Thomas D. ’59 and Mary Alice O’Malley in honor of Mr. O’Malley’s father, James, a former U.S. Customs officer serving in New York City. The program provides for three (3) scholarships annually through 2028 to sons of active duty or retired New York City policemen and/or U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers based in New York City.
