OWENSBORO CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL JANUARY 2008<br />

<strong>After</strong> <strong>all</strong> <strong>you</strong> <strong>have</strong> <strong>helped</strong> <strong>us</strong><br />

<strong>with</strong> <strong>in</strong> the past, we now ask<br />

<strong>you</strong>r help on Soenneker H<strong>all</strong><br />

When <strong>Catholic</strong> High opened <strong>in</strong> the f<strong>all</strong><br />

of 1951, it consisted of what we now c<strong>all</strong><br />

the large gym and the Parrish Avenue w<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

The student cafeteria was <strong>in</strong> what is now<br />

Soenneker H<strong>all</strong>. The sisters cooked <strong>in</strong> what is<br />

now the ma<strong>in</strong>tenance shop.<br />

The Hermitage w<strong>in</strong>g was added a couple of years later. Then<br />

when the back w<strong>in</strong>g was added <strong>in</strong> the mid-sixties, the kitchen<br />

and student cafeteria were moved to the new, back w<strong>in</strong>g. The old<br />

cafeteria became a student locker room.<br />

Then <strong>in</strong> 1981, Pr<strong>in</strong>cipal Fr. Ed Bradley and Drama Teacher<br />

and Coach Mary Hilda McFarland raised the money necessary to<br />

convert the old cafeteria-locker room <strong>in</strong>to an auditorium-theatre<br />

and named it Soenneker H<strong>all</strong>, after Bishop Soenneker.<br />

At the time, it was decided that mov<strong>in</strong>g the steel posts from<br />

down the middle of the room and right <strong>in</strong> front of the new stage<br />

was cost-prohibitive. So s<strong>in</strong>ce that day, audiences <strong>have</strong> had to sway<br />

side-to-side dur<strong>in</strong>g performances.<br />

The <strong>Owensboro</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> School system adopted a teamwork<br />

philosophy ten years ago <strong>in</strong> regards to test<strong>in</strong>g our students. We<br />

believe that our students are now beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g to reap the benefits<br />

of the teamwork put forth by the team members <strong>in</strong> our system.<br />

Our recent composite score of 22 on the ACT by the graduat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

class of 2007 was a slam-dunk! All but eight graduat<strong>in</strong>g seniors<br />

took the ACT, which translates to over 93% of last year’s senior<br />

class scor<strong>in</strong>g above state and national ACT averages, proof of the<br />

excellent education that ALL of our students <strong>in</strong> the OCS system<br />

are receiv<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

We began the exploration and research phase of our test<strong>in</strong>g<br />

program ten years ago by beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g to study the standards l<strong>in</strong>ked<br />

to score ranges on the ACT via professional development <strong>with</strong> the<br />

high school faculty. We learned from our exploration and research<br />

that we needed to align our curriculum <strong>with</strong> these standards. We<br />

Soenneker has gone through a major remodel<strong>in</strong>g once s<strong>in</strong>ce its<br />

build<strong>in</strong>g, but we <strong>have</strong> never felt we could afford to do what it would<br />

take to remove those posts. Some of the remodel<strong>in</strong>g has been piecemeal<br />

so could stand to be further improved. Some of Soenneker<br />

needs address<strong>in</strong>g for the first time–for example, the seats <strong>all</strong> need<br />

to be replaced.<br />

But probably our greatest hope is that we can afford the steel<br />

support beams necessary to replace those posts. We <strong>have</strong> met <strong>with</strong> a<br />

contractor to disc<strong>us</strong>s that possibility, but we <strong>have</strong> yet to meet <strong>with</strong> an<br />

<strong>After</strong> <strong>all</strong> <strong>you</strong> <strong>have</strong> <strong>helped</strong>...<br />

(cont<strong>in</strong>ued from cover)<br />

eng<strong>in</strong>eer or architect—but plan to do so. We<br />

hope that our proposed plan is feasible both<br />

f<strong>in</strong>anci<strong>all</strong>y and practic<strong>all</strong>y.<br />

I hope that it has always been clear <strong>in</strong> my<br />

time as Pr<strong>in</strong>cipal at <strong>Catholic</strong> High that I <strong>have</strong><br />

spent our resources where improvement was<br />

most urgent and would do the most good for<br />

our school and students.<br />

And that is where I th<strong>in</strong>k we are now <strong>with</strong><br />

Soenneker H<strong>all</strong>. Every year, approximately 70<br />

or so students are <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> two productions<br />

there. This would mean the world to those<br />

students.<br />

But the impact of such improvement <strong>in</strong> the<br />

facility would be far more reach<strong>in</strong>g than even<br />

that. Not only do probably 300-400 parents<br />

and outside visitors attend those dramatic<br />

productions every year, but many prospective<br />

parents and outsiders are <strong>in</strong> the room yearly<br />

for parent <strong>in</strong>formation sessions, meet<strong>in</strong>gs, and<br />

other presentations. It is one of the places <strong>in</strong><br />

the build<strong>in</strong>g that visitors most frequently see.<br />

Improv<strong>in</strong>g Soenneker H<strong>all</strong> would <strong>have</strong> a big<br />

impact.<br />

There certa<strong>in</strong>ly are always plenty of th<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

that need to be done to improve and keep up<br />

the build<strong>in</strong>g, but at this po<strong>in</strong>t, I th<strong>in</strong>k this is<br />

the part of the school that most needs it, the<br />

part that would make the biggest impact on<br />

what parents, prospective parents, and visitors<br />

see and th<strong>in</strong>k of <strong>us</strong>.<br />

Though we <strong>have</strong> not done <strong>all</strong> the work<br />

we need to do to get a good idea of the cost<br />

and feasibility of our proposed plan, I do <strong>have</strong><br />

hope that <strong>with</strong> <strong>you</strong>r help we can save enough<br />

Phonathon capital improvement money over<br />

the next couple or three years to do this. You<br />

will hear more from <strong>us</strong> as the campaign and<br />

the effort proceed.<br />

As always, thanks for <strong>all</strong> <strong>you</strong> and <strong>you</strong>r<br />

support <strong>have</strong> meant to <strong>us</strong> over the years. I<br />

ask <strong>you</strong> to cont<strong>in</strong>ue that support and help<br />

<strong>us</strong> to cont<strong>in</strong>ue to improve our school and its<br />

facilities. And as we pray for <strong>you</strong> and <strong>all</strong> the<br />

members of the <strong>Catholic</strong> High family every<br />

morn<strong>in</strong>g, I ask <strong>you</strong>r prayers for <strong>us</strong> and our<br />

efforts to educate our children for a productive,<br />

mean<strong>in</strong>gful, and Christ-centered life after high<br />

school and beyond.<br />

ACRE test results for 2006-2007 students<br />

In February 2007, junior-level students (currently seniors) took the National <strong>Catholic</strong><br />

Education Association’s Assessment of Catechesis / Religio<strong>us</strong> Education (NCEA ACRE). This<br />

summary, provided by the ACRE program, reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the students'<br />

comprehension of vario<strong>us</strong> religio<strong>us</strong> and catechetical topics.<br />

The vario<strong>us</strong> questions cover the follow<strong>in</strong>g topics: Tr<strong>in</strong>ity, Marks of the Church, Liturgy and<br />

Sacraments, Revelation, Scripture and Faith, Morality, Social Teach<strong>in</strong>g, Church History, Prayer and<br />

Religio<strong>us</strong> Practices, and <strong>Catholic</strong> Faith Literacy and Knowledge. The topics f<strong>all</strong> under the four major<br />

divisions of the Catechism--Part One: The Profession of Faith (Creed), Part Two: The Celebration<br />

of the Christian Mystery (Liturgy and Sacraments), Part Three: Life <strong>in</strong> Christ (Morality), and Part<br />

Four: Christian Prayer.<br />

<strong>Owensboro</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> High School is blessed <strong>with</strong> genero<strong>us</strong> people<br />

who know how valuable a <strong>Catholic</strong> high school is for our children.<br />

Without this f<strong>in</strong>ancial generosity, we could not cont<strong>in</strong>ue to be the mark<br />

of educational excellence or the best exposure to the teach<strong>in</strong>gs of the<br />

<strong>Catholic</strong> Church. God blesses the f<strong>in</strong>ancial generosity of our people. If<br />

<strong>you</strong> <strong>have</strong> an area of <strong>in</strong>terest, or if <strong>you</strong> know of someone who has a spirit<br />

of Christian generosity, please remember <strong>Owensboro</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> High<br />

School. Our school works hard to make every dollar go as far as possible<br />

for the children we are privileged to serve. But we are always <strong>in</strong> need of<br />

f<strong>in</strong>anci<strong>all</strong>y genero<strong>us</strong> people who share our mission <strong>in</strong> the Church and<br />

who know the powerful impact we <strong>have</strong> on the <strong>Catholic</strong> community.<br />

Improvements needed<br />

by Mary Hilda McFarland<br />

Are <strong>you</strong> still<br />

be<strong>in</strong>g careful to say<br />

j<strong>us</strong>t <strong>in</strong>stead of jist,<br />

and get <strong>in</strong>stead of<br />

git? Then <strong>you</strong> m<strong>us</strong>t<br />

<strong>have</strong> been <strong>in</strong> one<br />

of my Speech and<br />

Drama classes! That<br />

would likely <strong>have</strong> been when we were still<br />

giv<strong>in</strong>g plays on the Big Stage <strong>in</strong> the Big Gym<br />

at <strong>Catholic</strong> High. Or, are <strong>you</strong> one of those<br />

who remembers my <strong>in</strong>sist<strong>in</strong>g that <strong>you</strong> speak<br />

clearly enough when on stage so the “little<br />

old lady <strong>in</strong> the back row” could hear <strong>you</strong>?<br />

Then <strong>you</strong> were one who got to perform <strong>in</strong><br />

Soenneker H<strong>all</strong>. Or, perhaps <strong>you</strong> never had<br />

the pleasure of my company <strong>in</strong> class or <strong>in</strong> the<br />

H<strong>all</strong>, but <strong>you</strong> <strong>have</strong> always been a supporter<br />

of whatever <strong>Catholic</strong> High needs at any<br />

given time.<br />

In any case, I am mak<strong>in</strong>g a new appeal<br />

(by the way, I am writ<strong>in</strong>g on my “retired”<br />

day--every other day I am a volunteer<br />

teacher at <strong>Catholic</strong> High for 86 Humanities<br />

students) for the refurbish<strong>in</strong>g of Soenneker<br />

H<strong>all</strong>. <strong>After</strong> 25 years, an effort is be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

made to raise the funds to improve the H<strong>all</strong>,<br />

especi<strong>all</strong>y by gett<strong>in</strong>g rid of some or <strong>all</strong> of<br />

those posts that h<strong>in</strong>der a comfortable view<br />

of the stage. While I no longer teach Speech<br />

and Drama, nor produce the plays, I am still<br />

very devoted to the Drama Club and add<br />

my request to those of the current directors<br />

and our pr<strong>in</strong>cipal.<br />

The capital improvement part of this<br />

year’s Phonathon will be dedicated to<br />

mak<strong>in</strong>g the improvements possible. I hope<br />

<strong>you</strong> will be able to see <strong>you</strong>r way to send<strong>in</strong>g<br />

a “dramatic” donation, or respond<strong>in</strong>g<br />

genero<strong>us</strong>ly when <strong>you</strong> are c<strong>all</strong>ed. Over the 41<br />

years I <strong>have</strong> spent at <strong>Catholic</strong> High, I m<strong>us</strong>t<br />

list my times <strong>with</strong> theater as some of the<br />

happiest moments <strong>in</strong> my life. You who were<br />

a part of those memories <strong>have</strong> my gratitude.<br />

Sent <strong>with</strong> love, Miss Mac.<br />

You can give AND receive!<br />

Many retirees don’t know that a gift to<br />

<strong>Catholic</strong> High can earn them a guaranteed<br />

<strong>in</strong>come. A charitable gift annuity to our<br />

endowment will not only give the donor a<br />

tax benefit, but they receive half the <strong>in</strong>come<br />

from this annuity tax free! This is a wonderful<br />

way to contribute to the life of our school--<br />

and earn an <strong>in</strong>come from the money while<br />

<strong>you</strong> still need it. The rates depend upon<br />

the age of the donor, and it’s guaranteed for<br />

a lifetime. So please consider encourag<strong>in</strong>g<br />

a parent or someone <strong>you</strong> know who has<br />

charitable <strong>in</strong>tent to consider <strong>Catholic</strong> High<br />

<strong>with</strong> a charitable gift annuity.<br />

Repair, repair, repair<br />

by Teresa Kesterson and Jane Bailey, OCHS Teachers & Drama Coaches<br />

Repair, repair, repair. It doesn’t matter how well <strong>you</strong><br />

care for someth<strong>in</strong>g, after a certa<strong>in</strong> length of time, it seems<br />

there is that needl<strong>in</strong>g, repetitio<strong>us</strong> sound: “repair, repair,<br />

Teresa Kesterson Jane Bailey<br />

repair.” Our wonderful theater is <strong>in</strong> j<strong>us</strong>t such a state. Not<br />

only is the stage itself <strong>in</strong> need of repair, but also the light<strong>in</strong>g, sound system, and many of the seats<br />

<strong>in</strong> the audience. We also hope it will be feasible to remove the posts which <strong>have</strong> always existed<br />

between the audience and the actors!<br />

The Emerald Players <strong>have</strong> had two pretty good years and <strong>have</strong> improved the balance of our<br />

Drama Club considerably. For each production over the last two years, our numbers <strong>have</strong> steadily<br />

<strong>in</strong>creased. We received rave reviews and record crowds for our production of You Can’t Take It With<br />

You, and <strong>in</strong>terest among students seems to be high. We would like to cont<strong>in</strong>ue to <strong>in</strong>volve large<br />

groups of our student body <strong>in</strong> the arts, but we are often limited by our facilities and our funds.<br />

To repair and improve our present theater will take more than j<strong>us</strong>t the efforts of our Drama Club<br />

alone. For this type of undertak<strong>in</strong>g we need the help of our alumni, our <strong>Catholic</strong> family.<br />

Beca<strong>us</strong>e the theater is a walkway from the Parrish Avenue w<strong>in</strong>g to the Hermitage w<strong>in</strong>g, we<br />

m<strong>us</strong>t consider the needs of the students as they attempt to get to their lockers and to their classes<br />

on time. When rehearsals are go<strong>in</strong>g on, we often <strong>have</strong> problems remov<strong>in</strong>g and stor<strong>in</strong>g stage sets<br />

each night after rehearsal to prevent problems and possible <strong>in</strong>juries dur<strong>in</strong>g the school day, th<strong>us</strong> the<br />

need for some way to close off the stage dur<strong>in</strong>g school hours.<br />

Our <strong>in</strong>dividual “spot” lights <strong>have</strong> been adj<strong>us</strong>ted so many times that each appears to <strong>have</strong> a<br />

m<strong>in</strong>d of its own. We would like to consider remov<strong>in</strong>g the dropped ceil<strong>in</strong>g tiles, pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g everyth<strong>in</strong>g<br />

above black, and <strong>in</strong>st<strong>all</strong><strong>in</strong>g new lights that help prevent the stage from appear<strong>in</strong>g so closed-<strong>in</strong> from<br />

above and <strong>all</strong>ow <strong>us</strong> to reflect images from both t<strong>all</strong> and vertic<strong>all</strong>y ch<strong>all</strong>enged characters, from both<br />

the pale Ophelia and the dark Byronic hero.<br />

In the floor of the orig<strong>in</strong>al stage are receptacles for what we th<strong>in</strong>k would be part of the sound<br />

system if we had one. Right now we <strong>have</strong> an electrical buzzer and a crash box that we <strong>us</strong>e for our<br />

sound effects. Tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the Greek theater mode is necessary for vocaliz<strong>in</strong>g any part to be heard<br />

beyond the third row.<br />

Our most ch<strong>all</strong>eng<strong>in</strong>g project is to make this a theater <strong>with</strong> fewer columns and posts between<br />

the audience and the actors. We feel this is both economic<strong>all</strong>y and physic<strong>all</strong>y feasible, but this<br />

endeavor would probably be the most costly. J<strong>us</strong>t imag<strong>in</strong>e, a <strong>Catholic</strong> High theater <strong>with</strong>out posts<br />

and columns between <strong>you</strong> and the stage. Intrigu<strong>in</strong>g idea! And <strong>you</strong> can help make it happen!<br />

This school is special <strong>in</strong> so many ways. But one of the th<strong>in</strong>gs that cont<strong>in</strong>ue to make it special<br />

is the feel<strong>in</strong>g of car<strong>in</strong>g that starts <strong>with</strong> the family, cont<strong>in</strong>ues through the child, and moves to the<br />

teachers and adm<strong>in</strong>istration. That car<strong>in</strong>g and devotion to each other makes a complete circle when<br />

it is returned from our teachers and staff to the students here. It glows, it radiates, and we feel it<br />

when we are <strong>in</strong> the classroom and when we are coach<strong>in</strong>g students <strong>in</strong> extra curricular activities. No<br />

where is it more special than when that fledg<strong>in</strong>g group of actors comes together for open<strong>in</strong>g night<br />

and receives a stand<strong>in</strong>g ovation from a full ho<strong>us</strong>e! The camaraderie built among the students along<br />

<strong>with</strong> the achievement of reach<strong>in</strong>g a distant goal through hard work, disappo<strong>in</strong>tments, and craz<strong>in</strong>ess<br />

of <strong>all</strong> k<strong>in</strong>ds makes our nights <strong>in</strong> Soenneker H<strong>all</strong> some of the best, the most worthwhile, the most<br />

last<strong>in</strong>g memories of high school.<br />

Won’t <strong>you</strong> please remember some of those try<strong>in</strong>g, touch<strong>in</strong>g times from high school and the<br />

groups and the teams that <strong>helped</strong> <strong>you</strong> through them? Remember that beca<strong>us</strong>e we do br<strong>in</strong>g our<br />

faith to every endeavor, we m<strong>us</strong>t depend on each other to cont<strong>in</strong>ue to provide activities like drama<br />

and ma<strong>in</strong>tenance for the facilities, which these activities require.<br />

Bless <strong>you</strong> for be<strong>in</strong>g the best support family we teachers could possibly <strong>have</strong>!<br />

EXPLORE, PLAN and ...<br />

(cont<strong>in</strong>ued from cover)<br />

also discovered that the middle school was<br />

crucial to the success of our students on this<br />

exam. At that time it was decided that the<br />

EXPLORE test would be adm<strong>in</strong>istered <strong>in</strong> the<br />

eighth grade. This is the first preparatory test<br />

for the ACT. Feedback from this test is now<br />

<strong>in</strong>terpreted to parents and students at OCMS.<br />

The high school has p<strong>us</strong>hed hard for every<br />

sophomore to take the PLAN test, which is the<br />

second preparatory test for the ACT. Academic<br />

feedback from this test is expla<strong>in</strong>ed to students<br />

after they receive their results <strong>in</strong> hope that they<br />

will take recommendations to heart and beg<strong>in</strong><br />

prepp<strong>in</strong>g for the ACT.<br />

The high school and middle school faculty<br />

began to work together a few years later<br />

to plan a course of action. By align<strong>in</strong>g our<br />

curriculum 7-12 based upon ACT college<br />

read<strong>in</strong>ess standards and then <strong>us</strong><strong>in</strong>g the software<br />

entitled TechPaths to map our curriculum, we<br />

<strong>have</strong> begun to elim<strong>in</strong>ate gaps and redundancies<br />

so as to make room for more content needed<br />

to educate our students <strong>in</strong> the area of standards<br />

that colleges and universities deem important<br />

to student success on their camp<strong>us</strong>es. The<br />

OCS system has adopted the <strong>in</strong>itiative that the<br />

middle and high schools <strong>have</strong> begun so that<br />

<strong>in</strong> the future our curriculum will be aligned<br />

K-12.<br />

Thanks to the hard work of our faculty,<br />

our students <strong>have</strong> been able to act upon<br />

the knowledge that they <strong>have</strong> obta<strong>in</strong>ed. Our<br />

students’ strong study habits and their tak<strong>in</strong>g<br />

preparation for the ACT and college to heart<br />

<strong>have</strong> resulted <strong>in</strong> higher scores on the ACT and<br />

be<strong>in</strong>g better prepared for college courses. ACT<br />

predicts success for students <strong>in</strong> college courses<br />

based upon their college read<strong>in</strong>ess benchmark<br />

scores. ACT has done much research <strong>in</strong> this<br />

area and is able to predict success <strong>in</strong> a first-year<br />

college credit-bear<strong>in</strong>g course <strong>in</strong> English, College<br />

Algebra, Biology, and the Social Sciences based<br />

upon a student’s score on each content test of<br />

the ACT exam.<br />

We owe a debt of gratitude to the OCS<br />

team for the excellent composite score of a<br />

22 earned by last year’s senior class. First and<br />

foremost, our faculty deserves thanks as they<br />

work hard to prepare, teach, give feedback<br />

to, motivate and monitor our students. Our<br />

students do a beautiful job of cooperat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>with</strong> their teachers <strong>with</strong> their positive attitude,<br />

attention, and strong work ethic. Parental<br />

support is critical and has been a huge factor<br />

<strong>in</strong> the success of our students. Our pastors,<br />

parents, and parishioners help provide the<br />

resources needed to run our <strong>Catholic</strong> school<br />

system. But most importantly, everyth<strong>in</strong>g we<br />

accomplish is through the grace of God.<br />

The follow<strong>in</strong>g talk was written and delivered by<br />

<strong>Catholic</strong> High senior Olivia Osborne at Grandparents<br />

Mass and Lunch earlier this school year.<br />

Good afternoon, my name is Olivia Osborne, and I am a senior<br />

here at <strong>Catholic</strong> High. It is an honor to be here <strong>with</strong> <strong>all</strong> of <strong>you</strong> today,<br />

and I thank Mr. Staples for <strong>in</strong>vit<strong>in</strong>g me to speak.<br />

I was asked to reflect on what <strong>Catholic</strong> High means to me and what<br />

impact it has on my life. I immediately ran <strong>in</strong>to a slight problem: I<br />

could talk to <strong>you</strong> about the multiple reasons I love <strong>Catholic</strong> for days. So, I reluctantly narrowed<br />

my foc<strong>us</strong> to three themes: Faith, Tradition, and Family.<br />

Faith. Throughout the school <strong>you</strong> will f<strong>in</strong>d the follow<strong>in</strong>g words <strong>in</strong> vario<strong>us</strong> locations: “Be It<br />

Known To <strong>all</strong> Who Enter Here That CHRIST Is The Reason For This School, The Unseen But Ever<br />

Present Teacher <strong>in</strong> Our Classes, The Model In Our Faculty, the Inspiration of Our Students.”<br />

We are so blessed to <strong>have</strong> the privilege of practic<strong>in</strong>g our faith dur<strong>in</strong>g school. It is comfort<strong>in</strong>g<br />

to know that we can speak about God and our religion. Celebrat<strong>in</strong>g Mass, participat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />

Confession, and go<strong>in</strong>g on retreat are j<strong>us</strong>t a few ways that our <strong>Catholic</strong> school education aids <strong>in</strong><br />

form<strong>in</strong>g <strong>us</strong> <strong>in</strong>to strong disciples. Christ’s presence is truly felt here everyday. I can see it <strong>in</strong> our<br />

teachers’ eyes and my classmates’ smiles.<br />

We are bound together <strong>in</strong> the Body of Christ, and the gift of express<strong>in</strong>g our faith is<br />

<strong>in</strong>valuable. At <strong>Catholic</strong> High, we are encouraged to pray about our vocations and to <strong>in</strong>vite Jes<strong>us</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>to every aspect of our lives. Our knowledge of the Faith is constantly re<strong>in</strong>forced, whether it is<br />

through a textbook or through spontaneo<strong>us</strong> class disc<strong>us</strong>sions. Often, we take this freedom for<br />

granted; but there are poignant moments when we realize the impact <strong>Catholic</strong> High has had<br />

on <strong>us</strong>, and we become immediately grateful.<br />

Tradition. Each year, on the first day of school, each class beg<strong>in</strong>s by tak<strong>in</strong>g role. But role<br />

isn’t simply j<strong>us</strong>t taken to see who is absent and to match names <strong>with</strong> faces. Every teacher<br />

stops after each name is c<strong>all</strong>ed and asks that student who his or her parents, sibl<strong>in</strong>gs, and even<br />

grandparents are. N<strong>in</strong>e times out of ten, the teacher will <strong>have</strong> either taught one of the student’s<br />

relatives or gone to school <strong>with</strong> them.<br />

If <strong>you</strong> <strong>have</strong> recently attended a <strong>Catholic</strong> High sport<strong>in</strong>g event, such as a footb<strong>all</strong> game, <strong>you</strong><br />

may <strong>have</strong> noticed that the enormo<strong>us</strong> crowds don’t exactly match up to our enrollment. So<br />

why are these fans com<strong>in</strong>g to support our teams if they do not <strong>have</strong> a family member play<strong>in</strong>g?<br />

Probably beca<strong>us</strong>e once <strong>you</strong>’re <strong>in</strong> the <strong>Catholic</strong> High family, <strong>you</strong>’re never out. You will always<br />

<strong>have</strong> the memory of the special spirit that surrounds OCHS.<br />

How’s that for tradition?<br />

Much of the credit belongs to <strong>you</strong>, the grandparents. If it weren’t for <strong>you</strong>r support and<br />

faith, most of <strong>us</strong> wouldn’t be <strong>in</strong> these h<strong>all</strong>s today. So, thank <strong>you</strong> for believ<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> High’s<br />

message and mission.<br />

Family. I am an only child, and while I am grateful for my own room, I would give<br />

anyth<strong>in</strong>g to change my situation. Don’t get me wrong, my parents are wonderful, but there has<br />

always been a void that I felt could only be filled by a brother or sister.<br />

That void disappears when I walk through these doors every morn<strong>in</strong>g. I <strong>in</strong>stantly <strong>have</strong> 524<br />

brothers and sisters. I know nearly every face and every name. We <strong>have</strong> such an <strong>in</strong>tense bond<br />

here, and it is irreplaceable. I feel safe and protected at <strong>Catholic</strong> High. There is no doubt <strong>in</strong> my<br />

m<strong>in</strong>d that any one of the students or teachers here would <strong>in</strong>stantly help me if I were <strong>in</strong> need.<br />

Families can take many different forms. Today, we are honor<strong>in</strong>g <strong>you</strong> and <strong>you</strong>r important<br />

role <strong>in</strong> the lives of <strong>you</strong>r grandchildren. I th<strong>in</strong>k <strong>you</strong> will be pleased to hear that <strong>you</strong>r grandchild’s<br />

“OCHS Family” is strong and lov<strong>in</strong>g and play<strong>in</strong>g an important role <strong>in</strong> his or her life as well.<br />

Take a moment and look around this room. <strong>Catholic</strong> High, and the opportunities we <strong>have</strong><br />

to grow <strong>in</strong>tellectu<strong>all</strong>y <strong>in</strong> a Christ-centered environment, would not be possible <strong>with</strong>out <strong>you</strong>.<br />

On behalf of myself, and <strong>all</strong> of <strong>you</strong>r grandchildren here at OCHS, thank <strong>you</strong> for <strong>you</strong>r prayers,<br />

<strong>you</strong>r commitment and <strong>you</strong>r sacrifice. May God bless <strong>you</strong> today and always.<br />

Remember the Endowment<br />

Do <strong>you</strong> know what development experts c<strong>all</strong> a <strong>Catholic</strong> School that does not <strong>have</strong> an<br />

endowment fund? Slowly clos<strong>in</strong>g…. While that’s not very funny, it could be true, and that’s<br />

why we need to constantly rem<strong>in</strong>d our supporters to remember <strong>Catholic</strong> High <strong>in</strong> their wills.<br />

A will is a simple way to leave a significant f<strong>in</strong>ancial gift to the OCHS endowment. This<br />

endowment will generate an <strong>in</strong>come for <strong>Catholic</strong> High for the generations of children who will<br />

be educated and m<strong>in</strong>istered to here. Please be genero<strong>us</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>us</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>you</strong>r will.<br />

Mission Statement:<br />

The <strong>Owensboro</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> share <strong>in</strong> the mission of the Church <strong>in</strong> co-operation <strong>with</strong> families to provide a religio<strong>us</strong> and academic<br />

education which prepares students to become responsible members of family, Church, and community.<br />

We at <strong>Owensboro</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> High School believe that each person is sacred and <strong>in</strong>dividual, and both c<strong>all</strong>ed and dest<strong>in</strong>ed by God for cont<strong>in</strong>ued<br />

growth of <strong>all</strong> his or her faculties, abilities and awarenesses, both spiritual and material.<br />

We believe, therefore, that it is the primary responsibility of the school to create a truly <strong>Catholic</strong> environment <strong>in</strong> which each student is afforded<br />

the opportunity to become aware of his or her own worth and be <strong>in</strong>spired to seek fulfillment <strong>in</strong> <strong>all</strong> levels of his or her existence.<br />

How Phonathon Money Is Used<br />

Phonathon donors support three critical areas of need at <strong>Catholic</strong> High. The<br />

dollars are <strong>in</strong>vested <strong>in</strong> tuition assistance, capital or academic needs, and the high school<br />

endowment. Of course, some contributions come <strong>with</strong> restrictions, which we also<br />

honor. Once the contributions made <strong>with</strong> restrictions are pulled from the totals and<br />

expenses are paid, one third of the total <strong>in</strong>come is dedicated to help<strong>in</strong>g students who<br />

could not otherwise afford an <strong>Owensboro</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> High School education. Need is<br />

based on an application to the Private School Aid Service <strong>in</strong> Westlake, Ohio.<br />

Then another third is devoted to capital and other academic needs not funded<br />

by the budget. This part of <strong>you</strong>r genero<strong>us</strong> contributions has <strong>all</strong>owed <strong>Catholic</strong> High<br />

to rema<strong>in</strong> academic<strong>all</strong>y competitive <strong>in</strong> the face of cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>all</strong>y tighter budgets. This<br />

portion of the Phonathon <strong>in</strong>come has <strong>all</strong>owed <strong>us</strong> to do many th<strong>in</strong>gs at the high school<br />

that would not <strong>have</strong> otherwise happened, from air condition<strong>in</strong>g the two gyms and<br />

cafeteria, to new b<strong>us</strong>es and vans, to new and secure outside doors, to build<strong>in</strong>g a new<br />

library-media center. And <strong>in</strong> addition to even that, it has especi<strong>all</strong>y <strong>helped</strong> <strong>us</strong> cont<strong>in</strong>ue<br />

to be competitive <strong>in</strong> the area of computers and other technology throughout the school,<br />

year-<strong>in</strong> and year-out. This third of the money is the part we plan to save toward the<br />

remodel<strong>in</strong>g of Soenneker H<strong>all</strong>. And we anticipate be<strong>in</strong>g able to save enough money<br />

<strong>with</strong><strong>in</strong> a couple or three years to be able to complete the project.<br />

And the f<strong>in</strong>al third of the Phonathon <strong>in</strong>come is devoted to the high school<br />

endowment. And that endowment has grown to the po<strong>in</strong>t that it has <strong>all</strong>owed <strong>us</strong> to<br />

implement a competitive pay scale for coaches and extra-curricular sponsors.<br />

Phonathon is critical to the success of the mission at <strong>Catholic</strong> High. Without it, the<br />

school, its programs, and its students would suffer. Thank <strong>you</strong> for what <strong>you</strong> and <strong>you</strong>r<br />

generosity <strong>have</strong> meant to our programs and our students. We ask that <strong>you</strong> please help<br />

<strong>us</strong> ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> and even exceed our current level.<br />
