44 students were awarded a
Varsity Letter for Community
Service for the 2017-18 school
year. This award is given to
any student who completes
40 hours of community
service for at least 6 different
organizations in one school
year. These students are to be
commended for their dedication to giving back to their
communities and the less fortunate. Twelve seniors
also received letters for the 2018-19 year.
The academic team won 1st place in District competition
and 7th place in Quick Recall at Regionals. Students
receiving subject level awards included: Elijah Deters,
Lucien Deters, Jacob F., Harrison Farrar, Trenton
Martin, and Jim Scola.
Evan Moon (Class of 2019) was accepted into the
University of Louisville GEMS program. (Guaranteed
Entrance to Med School.) Only 10 students in the state
were chosen.
Tuck Everlasting and Twelve
Angry Men were this spring’s very
successful drama productions.
Mr. Haders, Covington Catholic Art Teacher, and
his student, Kevin Finke (Class of 2019), recently
presented this wonderful work of art to Mr. Bill
Snyder for his retirement gift. Mr. Snyder served in
the US Navy from 1966-1970 and served on the USS
Dace SSN607 in 1968. He boarded her in Holly Loch
Scotland and was absolutely “scared to death” for a
brief tour of the North Sea and Artic Sea. He does
take credit for keeping all Russian Submarines out of
Northern Kentucky. Mr. Snyder retired from teaching
in 2018 after 17 years at Covington Catholic.
