Serving God, Serving Others
“Strength for the Journey”
(Catholic education theme for the upcoming 2013-2014 school year)
MISSION STATEMENT
“In an enriching and innovative college preparatory environment, rooted in Catholic
tradition, Stephen T. Badin High School inspires young men and women to achieve
their personal best, live their faith and lead the future.”

June 2013
Dear Parents,
As we finish another school year, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your support of Badin High
School and for allowing us to work with your child. The 2012-13 school year has been a great success. Our
graduation ceremonies went very well and our newest alumni did a fabulous job. We are extremely proud of
their achievements and most importantly, the positive leadership they provided.
The school year has been an exciting one, filled with great memories and accomplishments. It has also been a
year of improvements. We air conditioned the classrooms. The students really enjoyed the more comfortable
learning environment and it was different seeing students in sweatshirts on warmer days. We also spent the
year working on and developing a strategic plan to help guide us as we move forward. We are excited about
the future of Badin High School and this plan will keep us focused on the task at hand.
There are more changes on the horizon. We have contracted with Champion Windows to replace all the original
windows in the building. Not only will this improve the look of the building, but more importantly, the energy
savings will be significant. The current windows, put in when the building opened in 1966, have served their
purpose but it is time to make this improvement. We are excited to get this project started. Also, we will be
resurfacing the parking lot this summer.
We will have some changes in our staffing next year also. Mrs. Ungerbuehler, Ms. Kocher and Mr. Kenkel will
be retiring. Mrs. Ungerbuehler has been here for many years and has done a great job in the front office. Ms.
Kocher has been here for 40 years, serving as a teacher, coach and AD. She has done a terrific job. Mr. Kenkel
has been at Badin for six years and has been in education over 40 years. He has done an excellent job and we
are thankful for his dedication to our students. We also have three other teachers moving on to new
adventures. Mrs. Williams, our French teacher, Mr. Hosmer, a religion teacher and community service
coordinator, and Father Muhlenkamp, Chaplain and religion teacher, are all leaving us. We want to thank each
of them for their time, dedication and the positive example they set for our students.
Next year we will be adding a few new teachers. We will introduce them to you in our August newsletter.
We would like to thank you for your support of Badin High School. Your dedication and positive comments will
allow us to bring in another large freshmen class next year. This will be the fourth straight year that our overall
enrollment will increase. Thank you for spreading the word about Badin.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at school at 513-863-3993 or by email
bpendergest@badinhs.org.
God Bless you and your family.

Dear Parents & Guardians:
Badin High School Lunchroom Point-Of-Sale System
Badin High School has begun using a computerized POS (point of sale) system in the school cafeteria.
Beginning in the 2013-14 school year, our new system will be in full operation. At that time, students
will use a bar-coded I.D. card to pay for their lunch. Student PIN numbers for the new system will be
distributed at schedule pickup in August. If a Student forgets their ID card, they can type in their PIN
number at the cash register PIN pad. This system reduces time-consuming cash transactions, and
makes our lunch lines move much faster.
As a parent or guardian, for your additional convenience, you will use the new internet-based payment
system, which allows you to pay for your child’s lunch on-line, via credit card or ACH (electronic
check). This service also allows you to receive automated emails detailing your Student’s account
balance and the items they purchased for lunch, as well as a notification if their balance is low.
Additionally, there is an “auto-replenishment” option which allows you to set up a low-balance
threshold and automatic debit amount to replenish your child’s account. Please be aware that the
vendor charges an internet convenience fee for payment by credit card or ACH.
Startup for the new internet payment and reporting system is currently scheduled for the 2013 -2014
school year. Internet payments will be accepted in as large or small an amount as you feel is
convenient for you. Please keep in mind that the larger amount you send in, the fewer payments you
will have to make during the course of the school year.
Further details will be provided via our website, http://www.badinhs.org/ and emails shortly.
Summer iPad Use
Badin High School will provide an iPad to students for instructional use during the school year
and students will be permitted to use their assigned iPad over the summer break only if a signed
permission slip is returned to Mr. Memory.
Parents & Guardians please note that the Summer iPad permission form only needs to be filled
out once and remains approved throughout the student’s time at Badin. Any parent who wishes to
revoke this permission must notify Mr. Memory by email @ mmemory@badinhs.org Please be
reminded that iPads must be maintained in working order at all times. Any damage to iPads must
be reported immediately to Mr. Memory as well.
*Notice to incoming freshmen and new Badin students* Badin requires mandatory
iPad meeting attendance by each student and at least one parent. This year, the meetings for
incoming freshmen and his/her parent will be held in the Little Theater on August 5 th at 6:30 p.m.
All other students new to Badin and his/her parent will meet on August 7th at 6:30 p.m. For those
unable to attend at those times, a make-up session is scheduled for August 12 th at 1:00 p.m.

donated items and bid!

Dear Members of the Badin community,
Stephen T. Badin High School
Campus Ministry News
SUMMER 2013
Campus Ministry is still going strong all throughout the summer! We are always here if any students need us,
we’re just an e-mail or phone call away! We hope that you will be able to relax and enjoy the time with
friends and family over the next few months.
For those who are going to be seniors….Kairos Dates are as follows: June 10-13, 2013 / July 15-18, 2013 /
October 14-17, 2013.
The June Kairos is in full swing. We leave in just a few short days. Everyone who is planning this retreat is
really looking forward to being part of your Kairos Retreat.
Students going in July will be sent their information forms & permission slips during the first week of July. If
you don’t receive yours, please contact Mrs. Helms at the e-mail address below! If your plans change and you
can’t attend in July, please contact Mrs. Helms ASAP! We all look forward to attending this retreat with you!
Our Opening School Liturgy is going to be on Thursday August 22, 2013 at 1:25 pm in the main gym. Parents
are welcome to attend. Due to the fact that we no longer have a priest on staff, our local pastors have
requested that we change our all-school mass times. This year we will be celebrating all-school masses at
1:25pm unless otherwise indicated on the monthly calendar! You are all welcome to attend!
TAG: we will be having a summer meeting to plan events for next school year as well as a summer fundraiser.
Our meeting will be the same day as the Student Council Meeting in August. Our meeting will be
immediately following that student council meeting and will last for ½ hour! Please come with fund-raising
ideas! We’ll also be discussing Powderpuff! (Incoming freshmen who are interested in joining are welcome to
attend!)
CHRISTIAN SERVICE
Congratulations to all of our students for the MANY hours you’ve given to serving others in our
communities. We are so very proud of the work that you do and hope that you feel that you are truly making
a difference!
Most of you know that our Christian Service Coordinator, Mr. Hosmer, is leaving Badin. For the 2013 – 2014
school year, Mrs. Helms will be taking on this role! THERE IS A NEW POLICY THIS YEAR
REGARDING CHRISTIAN SERVICE…..ALL SERVICE HOUR FORMS ARE TO GO DIRECTLY TO
MRS. HELMS or MRS. ALLEN - not your religion teacher! Mrs. Allen will be the Christian Service
Coordinator & will serve as the ‘clearing house’ to verify all service hours and Mr. Samples is recording all
hours & entering them into EDLINE! The 30-day policy still holds so that you MUST turn in all Christian
Service Forms within 30 days of the completion of your service. There are NEW blue service forms on the
table outside the Campus Ministry Office and on-line. If you have any questions or requests for volunteers,
please send them to Mrs. Allen at the CHRISTIAN SERVICE E-MAIL ADDRESS:
badinservice@badinhs.org. Please do not email any service related requests, problems, or questions to Mrs.
Allen’s email address! Please be patient as we are making every effort to minimize confusion and problems
during this time of transition.

As an FYI the required number of hours is staying the same:
Freshmen – 10 Sophomores – 15 Juniors – 20 Seniors – 20
SUMMERTIME SERVICE WEEK
For the 3 rd year in a row, Badin Campus Ministry is proud to offer all of our students the opportunity to make
a difference for others by participating in our Summertime Service Week. This year we are making a few
changes and feel they will benefit our students and the community in many ways. We will begin our time
with an overnight Urban Plunge Retreat with St. Vincent De Paul in Cincinnati on Sunday evening August
11 and returning to Badin by 6pm on Monday August 12, 2013. For 24 hours, the students who participate in
this overnight will be able to see those most in need in the inner-city neighborhoods of Cincinnati. The cost

The BADIN Connection
Linking the Badin Family with our parish families
May 2013
What’s s happening at BADIN...
Badin’s 47th class, the Class of 2013, will celebrate four outstanding
years when students graduate on Friday, May 24, at St. Maximilian
Kolbe Church in Liberty Township. Baccalaureate Mass is set for
Wednesday, May 22, at Sacred Heart Church in Fairfield. Both events
will begin at 8 p.m.
Final exams for underclassmen are scheduled Tuesday thru
Thursday, May 28-30. Badin’s school year will end with a faculty
in-service on Friday, May 31.
Registration season continues for those interested in joining the
Badin “family” of students in the Class of 2017. Families are encouraged
to contact the Admissions Office at (513) 863-3993, ext. 120, or by e-mail
at Dallen@badinhs.org.
Badin also welcomes transfer students. Extensive information about all
things Badin is available on our website, www.badinhs.org. As we like to
say -- it’s not just high school ... it’s Badin!
The 2013-14 school year will begin on Tuesday, Aug. 20,with one-half
day for freshmen. All students return on Wednesday, Aug. 21.
Badin is always looking for host families for potential International
students. Badin is certified by the U.S. State Department to accept
students on a graduation track, and also accepts one-year exchange
students. This year Badin is hosting 12 International students. If you
would like to act as a host family, please contact the school. It’s a memorable
experience for both the visiting student and the host family!
Making a difference at BADIN ...
Michael Kulifay (Fairfield Middle) and Elizabeth McKinley
(Immanuel Lutheran) are the valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively,
in the Badin Class of 2013. “We’re very proud of all of their success,”
Badin Principal Brian Pendergest ‘90 said. “They have done an
outstanding job in every way at Badin High.”
Other members of the Top 10 in the class include, alphabetically,
Caroline Beckman (St. Ann), Lauren Donges (St. Ann), Michael
Lakomy (Home School), Emily Martin (St. Ann), Eric McGill (St. Peter in
Chains), Nathan Peter (St. Catherine of Siena), Chris Pickerill (St. Peter
in Chains) and Alex Saurber (Queen of Peace).

McKinley is headed for Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland
to major in biology as a pre-med degree.
Fifteen Badin seniors are members of the $100,000 Scholarship
Club for 2013, recognizing those students who have earned $100,000 or
more in academic scholarship dollars for college. Of the 100 members of
the Badin senior class, 53 received some academic money.
The 15 included Caroline Beckman (St. Ann), who will attend Miami
University; Paige Bucheit (St. Ann), who will attend Miami University;
Greg Childs (St. Peter in Chains), who will attend Lindsey Wilson (Ky.)
College; Lauren Donges (St. Ann), who will attend Miami University;

downtown Cincinnati in late April. Toerner was one of only nine boys
recognized by the Munoz organization for this scholarship opportunity.
Nine Badin seniors have been recruited to play college athletics
next season. As Dirk Q. Allen, Badin’s director of admissions and media
relations likes to point out, “There are a lot of athletes ... but there are not
a lot of college athletes.”
T.J. Nichting (Queen of Peace) and Austin Rieman (Sacred Heart)
will play Division I baseball -- Nichting at the University of North
Carolina/Charlotte, and Rieman at Ohio University.
