The very first day of school at<br />

<strong>CHCA</strong>, August 1989.<br />

AUDREY (DUREN) KEYES ’95<br />

Associate Director of Upper School Admissions<br />

& Alumni Engagement<br />

As <strong>CHCA</strong> continues to innovate, one thing hasn’t<br />

changed: our call to learn, lead, <strong>and</strong> serve. I learned these<br />

pillars when I was a student here in the ’90s, <strong>and</strong> I still<br />

follow them to this day. As a mom, I believe my greatest<br />

callings have been to teach my daughter about the love<br />

of Christ, co-lead my family along with my husb<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong><br />

serve near <strong>and</strong> far in whatever capacity God calls me.<br />

Working at <strong>CHCA</strong> has only reinforced how learning,<br />

leading, <strong>and</strong> serving find their way into everything I do. As<br />

Associate Director of Upper School Admissions, I’m in an<br />

educational environment surrounded by highly intelligent<br />

people <strong>and</strong> am always learning something new. I lead<br />

families through the admissions process <strong>and</strong> welcome<br />

them into the <strong>CHCA</strong> community. And I love serving<br />

the school by sitting on the board of FOFA; it keeps me<br />

involved <strong>and</strong> connected to the amazing opportunities<br />

our students have in the Fine Arts department.<br />

I encourage you to observe how these principles have<br />

influenced your own life <strong>and</strong> can impact what comes<br />

next. Be constantly curious. Participate in Bible studies,<br />

join Dr. Nicholas on trips to Israel—whatever it might be,<br />

do something that keeps you engaged. Guide others with<br />

humility. Many of you have returned to <strong>CHCA</strong> to teach<br />

or coach, continuing a legacy steeped in the pursuit of<br />

Christ. Lastly, become a beacon in your community <strong>and</strong><br />

ours. Help build sets for theater productions, tell others<br />

about <strong>CHCA</strong>, <strong>and</strong> most importantly, pray for our school.<br />

We are a family. Without you, our school would not be<br />

what it is today. Regardless of where you find yourself at<br />

this moment—whether you still call Cincinnati home or<br />

have put down roots halfway across the world—you will<br />

always be tied to <strong>CHCA</strong> through the ways in which you<br />

learn, lead, <strong>and</strong> serve.<br />
