Rob was an honor student and gifted writer, receiving the E. Angus Powell Award for American Enterprise in his junior year.

He loved and excelled at football and lacrosse; the boys’ lacrosse team won the 1987 State Championship and was undefeated. Rob was an unrelenting voice in encouraging Collegiate’s spirit. The Rob Kelly Spirit Award recognizes those efforts.
