ALUMNI
FROM THE ALUMNI BOARD PRESIDENT
T. TYLER HOLOCHER ’09
CCH Alumni, Family and Friends,
This past year, 21 alumni and faculty have launched the
Covington Catholic Alumni Association. As our first fiscal
year approaches (July 1), I’d like to share the vision and goals
of the board.
The association was formed to provide opportunities for
alumni to stay involved and facilitate engagement in both
the school and community. After all, we’re all connected
by the experiences of going to CCH and growing up in
Northern Kentucky / Greater Cincinnati. We value the sense
of tradition and pride that our alumni share. Our hope is to
streamline communication between the school and alumni,
plan major events, and provide support to students currently
studying at CCH. We’ll encourage alumni engagement
through our class captains, retreats, activities and events.
In order to accomplish our goals, we’ve created five
committees.
Major Events (led by Jason Tate ‘01 & Ben Berger ‘97) – The
committee will help plan and improve upon the Colonel Stag
and will also help with the Alumni Golf Outing, Basketball
Tournament and Northern Kentuckian of the Year Luncheon.
Scholarship (led by Brian McDermott ‘00) – The committee
is responsible for awarding scholarships to outstanding
students at CCH. The majority of what the Alumni
Association raises will go toward the scholarship fund.
Spiritual (led by Jordan Hoffer ‘11) – The committee will
organize an annual retreat and create a platform in which
alumni can share their community service projects with
students and the CCH community.
Class Captains (led by Shane Wiggins ‘06 & Steve Kolkmeier
‘79) – The committee is tasked with delegating class captains
and keeping an up-to-date directory of all alumni.
Marketing (led by Alex Ammerman ‘10) – The committee
helps to design the content for website, newsletters,
and e-mails for Class Captains to share with their fellow
classmates.
**Please note, each committee is open to all alumni. Please
reach out to myself or Alex Ammerman if you have an
interest.**
The board is excited about the initial momentum that has
been generated and the participation from alumni. As we
continue to build the association from the ground up, please
let us know if you have ideas or suggestions.

ALUMNI CLASS CAPTAINS
The newly formed Alumni Association Board has come
up with quite a few ways to engage with the Alumni
of Covington Catholic, most notably, will be the usage
of Class Captains. With the help of the Class Captain
Committee, each graduating class from CCH will have
a representative that will serve as their Class Captain.
These Colonels will provide another point of contact
between the Alumni Director, the Alumni Association,
and each Alumni. We are extremely excited to have
the help of these great Colonels listed below. If you
do not see your graduation year listed, we are still
looking to add someone to be a class Captain. Please
contact Alumni Relations Director Alex Ammerman,
aammerman@covcath.org, if interested.
