Dr. Tom Madden attended St. Roch Catholic Grade School. After graduating from high school in 1971 and the University of Notre Dame in 1975, he completed his medical degree at the IU Medical School in 1979. Dr. Madden practiced emergency medicine for 30 years. In addition to his dedication to helping others, Dr. Tom had a tremendous passion for Roncalli High School and its Performing Arts programs, as all three of his children — Erin R’02, Lauren R’05 and Austin R’10 — participated in countless plays, musicals, show choir competitions and productions. Tom’s wife, Terri, established this scholarship with the assistance of their children in February 2013.
