Meet Our Students
The Irish Go to Italy
On March 24, 2008, Fr. Paul Kwiatkowski
‘57 led a group of 50 people on a 10-day
tour of Italy. Fr. Paul teaches Latin I and II
at Central Catholic. Thanks to the
generosity of several CCHS benefactors,
fi ve students from Fr. Paul’s classes were
able to go along. The students were
seniors Rudy Orta, Matt Knestrick,
Malasia Wright, and Detra Washington
and sophomore Kevin Williams.
KARLA JIMENEZ
Freshman
Karla was born in Mexico City, the capital
city of Mexico. She moved to the United
States with her parents at the age of one to be
with other family members who had already
come to the U.S. Karla’s fi rst language is
Spanish, and she and her family speak mostly
in Spanish while they are at home. She
learned English in grade school and is
currently taking French at CCHS, so she is
able to speak in three different languages.
Karla has played the violin for four years and will join the orchestra at
CCHS next year. She is also joining the new martial arts club at
Central Catholic. She has two sisters in 6th grade at Chase Elementary
who hope to attend CCHS in the future.
MEREDITH SCHULZ
Junior
Meredith has been appointed an ambassador
for the American Heart Association and will
appear on a billboard in Toledo. Her duties
will include a variety of activities to promote
heart health, and she hopes to set up a CPR
class for students at Central Catholic. Over the
summer, Meredith had surgery at the
Cleveland Clinic to correct a congenital
deformity known as pectus excavatum. The
condition affects the anterior wall of the chest and causes several ribs
and the sternum to grow abnormally, pressing on the heart and lungs.
It can impair cardiac and respiratory function and cause pain in the
chest and back.
Meredith is a Regents’ Scholar and a Sullivan Scholar at CCHS and a
member of the National Honor Society. She is also a member of the
Glee Club, Enviro Club, French Club, German Club, Spanish Club,
Spiritual Commission, Run for Fun, Soul Survivor, and the Women’s
Respect Group.
