By: Sarah Stewart ’12
In addition to the many new teachers
this school year, our Chanel family is also
happy to welcome the new Vice President
for Advancement, Mr. Casey Murphy. Mr.
Murphy is in charge of bringing in financial
gifts and contributions to the school. He is
responsible for building and maintaining
relations with both alumni and donors who
support St. Peter Chanel. His primary goal is
to “bring in as much philanthropic support
to the school as possible.” Mr. Murphy also
helps with fundraising projects, such as the Benefit Auction and the
Golf Tournament, and the recruitment and enrollment of students. He
meets with school supporters approximately three days a week.
Mr. Murphy is a native Clevelander, though he has spent the last
five years in Phoenix, Arizona. He attended Notre Dame-Cathedral
Latin High School in his youth. From there, he graduated from the
University of Dayton with a B.A. in history. He then moved to Arizona
where he worked at Bourgade Catholic High School as the school’s
Advancement Director.
His goals for the year include “to secure the future of St. Peter
Chanel High School” and to “get to know as many people, faculty
and staff as possible.

Mark Maslona, Director of Athletics
Thank you so much for the opportunity to
serve the St. Peter Chanel High School as
Director of Athletics; and thank you also, for
your support of Chanel athletics. It is this type
of support, as well as many of Chanel’s other
wonderful attributes: devoted alumni, talented
teachers and coaches, outstanding facilities
and the Catholic ideal, that makes Chanel
such a special place to learn, work and grow.
It is with immense pride I wish to inform you of some great news in our
community. First, our wrestling coach, Mr. Graham Coghill, has been
named Ohio High School Wrestling Coach of the Year. This tremendous
honor also automatically nominates him for National Coach of the Year
consideration. This type of recognition is so richly deserved by a man
who has devoted his life to the service of Chanel and its students. Thank
you so much for all you do, Coach Coghill!
Also, our soccer team won the North Coast League, White Division,
Championship this season. What a tremendous feat for a team that was

during the first week of October. What a tremendous season for Coach
Nick Urban and the entire team!
Finally, our volleyball team, boys & girls cross-country teams, golf team
and football team also enjoyed many successes this season. While it may
not be totally reflected in win-loss records, each team displayed the heart,
determination and class that personify what St. Peter Chanel High School
is all about. Simply put and with all sincerity, I could not any prouder than
I am of every one of these players and coaches!
With this in mind, I want to invite everyone in the Chanel community
to get excited, to participate and to remember – all of us are, now and
always, ambassadors of St. Peter Chanel High School.
Thank you, again, for your support and if I can be of any assistance to
you at any time, I encourage you to contact me. My door is always open!
May God Bless You!
