Alumni Spotlight:Campbell lodge boys’ Home

Father raymond nieman founded Campbell lodge Boys’ Home in 1958 as a residential alternative for neglected or dependent young men. since its inception, over 1,500 young men have called Campbell lodge home. The organization provides a year-round residential facility for pre-adoles-cent and adolescent boys aged ten to eighteen.

The lodge is proud of a long lasting and sustained relationship with Covington Catholic High school. For many years, all the young men who lived at the Campbell lodge Boys’ Home attended either newport Central Catholic or Covington Catholic.

Beyond a long-standing relationship with Covington Catholic, Campbell lodge Boys’ Home also boasts four current staff members and two current board members who are CCH alums. Included in this impressive line-up is executive director Barry Jones (’91), matt lanham (’96), michael Johannemann (’98) and

nick Dikeos (’01) and board members nate roedig (’91) and michael Bessler (’91). since its beginning in 1958, the Campbell lodge Boys’ Home has had at least one Covington Catholic alumnus serving on the board, working on the staff or donating to the lodge.

reflecting on his time working for the Boys’ Home, Barry Jones said, “When I started here nine years ago, there were only sixteen employees. now we have forty. The Campbell lodge Boys’ Home has grown and changed substantially, and I credit some of that change to the experiences that many of the staff had at

Covington Catholic. We came to work here with a deep respect for an all – male environment

and the potential that it provides to create camaraderie and brotherhood. We grew up in that environment at Covington Catholic and want the same for the boys here. We would like for this to be a safe place where they can learn to trust one another.”

Barry also added, “We value the rela-tionship that we continue to have with Covington Catholic. several of our major donors are graduates, including some of the young men who lived at the home while attending CCH.”

CCH is proud of our history and our continued connections with the Camp-bell lodge Boys’ Home.

Dear alumni, Fall is presently very much in evidence with the leaves changing, a chill in the air, and the appearance of autumn decorations. The changing of the seasons also coincides with the end of the 1st quarter for our learning community. as our students work on their studies, foster their faith and make friends, the faculty and administration continue to find ways to improve our methods of preparing our Colonels for post-secondary success and the fulfillment of the complete faith-based life which lies ahead of them. It is our belief that every activity in which our students partake, be it in the chapel, the classroom, on the stage, during free-periods, or on the field of play, present teaching and learning opportunities. These are experiences that they will remember and can serve as a positive influence for the remainder of their lives. Keeping this in mind, I thought it might be instructive to share with you a typical day in the life of a Colonel. at 7:10 am, on a Friday morning a few weeks into the new school year, I have just spent the last several minutes mingling with our students in the cafeteria area, where they gather to study or socialize prior to the beginning of their school day. I then join them in attending our weekly Friday mass in the chapel, where alumni, students, faculty, and parents come to pray together as a community. This is just one of the many opportunities that exist for our young men to form a closer bond between themselves and god. upon ascending to the 2nd floor I again walk among students, many still attached to their I-pods, hanging out by their lockers, interacting with each other and taking care of any unfinished homework that remains from the previous night. as I glance into each classroom I pass, it is not unusual to discover teachers hard at work tutoring students who require extra attention. I am also gratified to see many students taking advantage of our library/resource Center, using our new pC workstations to complete assignments or working on projects. on the 3rd floor members of mr. Krumpelbeck’s Biology class’ B.u.g. Club are busy at work taking care of their animals, learning responsibility firsthand by tending to their well-being and care. across the hall, mr. parrott has been teaching our 8th grade algebra I Honors course to our local feeder parish students since 7:30am, giving them a head start on future academic pursuits. The onset of a new school day is always exciting and invigorating, full of expectations and anticipation. It is rewarding to see our students so full of life. They are enjoying each other’s friendships as they learn together and progress through another day, moving closer to realizing and achieving their goals, hopes, and dreams. There is a distinct buzz in the air on this particular day, as the students progress through their seven courses of study. It is a football Friday and everyone is excited about taking on our neighborhood rivals, the Beechwood tigers, on the gridiron later on this evening. During their respective lunch periods, our

students spontaneously break out with the school fight song, fueling our school spirit for later in the evening. During those seven periods I note: mr. Haders’ art room is one of our more popular and active classes. He offers constructive criticism and encouragement to the creators of the different “masterpieces” being produced over the course of many weeks. mr. Kaelin speaking german to the german III students and mrs. rasp working in the language lab with her spanish II students, both teaching invaluable second language skills to our students. CaD/graphic Design lab being utilized to its full potential with enthusiasm by our students

immersing themselves in the designs they are creating. mr. Hertsenberg teaching our seniors the most important life skills – moral choices and the values of free will relating to real life situations. mr. parrott, mr. lubbers, and other teachers utilizing our smart board technology. These educational devices allow our teachers to interact with content on the board, using their finger as a mouse, and offer the ability to physically overwrite material appearing on the board through the use of digital “ink.” The majority of our students participate in extra-curricular activities after school—they work on a project, prepare for a play, practice for an upcoming game or season. on this day however our students forego many of those after-school activities and head to Bayer and Becker engineers (Jay Bayer’s son John is a senior), where a pep rally, organized by our student senate, has been scheduled. over 300 students turn out to partake in the hot dogs and soda pop, while tossing Frisbees and footballs, before applying their war paint in support of their football team – it is Braveheart night!!! The rally concludes with the CovCath entourage, the envy of the state, demonstrating their renowned spirit, marching the two miles to mcnabb stadium in Fort mitchell, where they root our team on to victory. They are carrying on of a tradition passed down from one class to another - a big part of your own personal Covington Catholic legacy. This scene is, for the most part, reenacted on a daily basis. It is an awesome sight - the variety of students with different backgrounds, marked by each individual’s distinctive personality and interests, with the sights and sounds of a typical school day at CovCath. I consider myself to be so fortunate to be a small part of these boys’ most influential years, allowing them to maximize the fulfillment that you yourself experienced during your days here on the campus of Covington Catholic High school.

Philanthropy ClubCovington Catholic seeks to be true to our Marianist Catholic roots and the call to love our neighbors. A new manifestation of this call will be found in the student Philanthropy Club, which had its first meeting in October. The Philanthropy Club comes as a result of a multi-year study by the Mayerson Foundation, in partnership with Northern Kentucky University. Originally intended as a college course, this club has now spread to high schools due to its overwhelming success at colleges and universities. The club creates the opportunity for students to receive funds which they will in turn award to a local non-profit in the form of a grant.

This year’s grant money, given to Covington Catholic by Mr. Dennis Doyle, will total $1,000. Students in the club will be charged with contacting, researching, and ultimately deciding on a local 501 c3 nonprofit organization that they deem worthy to receive the funds. In the process, students will make site visits, invite speakers to come to campus, and engage in advanced research on the viability, sustainability, and effectiveness of each organization. Club sponsor and religion

teacher Rich Andolina says, “I hope this will be more than a way for Covington Catholic students to give to a local charity. Our vision is that these students, who one day will be in positions of influence throughout Northern Kentucky, will learn the benefits of philanthropy. They will eventually sit on non-profit boards, serve as directors of organizations and make informed decisions for the betterment of those who are less fortunate.” Students will begin their research and discernment in the spring of 2011. If you are affiliated with a

local non-profit that you would like to be considered for the grant, please contact Mr. Andolina at randolina@covcath.org.

Engineering Club

Covington Catholic is pleased to announce the launching of its first “pre-professional” club. The Engineering Club has already met several times this year and is being overseen by Mr. Charles Hartman and Mr. Ryan Lubbers, teachers at CCH. Students who participate in this club will have the opportunity to meet professionals in several fields of engineering, as well as architecture and design. Mr. Hartman noted, “We have so many guys who go into engineering and the building trades. We want to encourage these students to fully understand all that these fields have to offer. We also hope that more exposure will open students to both the possibilities and challenges of engineering.”

Thus far three professionals, including two alumni, have come in to speak with CCH students. Mr. Eugene Rutz from the University of Cincinnati came to present engineering options available at UC. Mr. Ben Barlage ’92 and Mr. Ben Eilerman ’98 came to speak about the connection between architecture and engineering. They also presented on AutoCAD and Revit, two popular design programs that are available to our students as a result of recent technology upgrades.

In late October, the students were presented with their own design challenge: given two rolls of duct tape, they were asked to create a new product. Their creations will be

judged by a panel at the end of the semester. In the spring, CCH students that are part of the club will have the opportunity to tour the University of Cincinnati and shadow students through a day of engineering classes.

If you are interested in coming to speak to the Engineering Club or have an engineering opportunity for CCH students, please contact Mr. Charles Hartman at chartman@covcath.org.

Engineering Club starts strong with 23 members and alumni support

AluMni PorTAlLog In to the Alumni Portal

CCH was thrilled to launch the new and improved www.covcath.org this fall. If you have not checked it out, please do so! One of the most impressive new features is the “alumni portal” which allows alumni to update information and connect with other alums. This feature can be used to announce reunions, network, and more. Alumni received user IDs and passwords to their home mailing addresses in October. Please use this information to log in and share your latest news. Covington Catholic wants to keep in touch with our alumni, and will be offering even more ways to come back and visit the school as we renovate the Griffin Alumni Centre. If you need your user ID and password, please contact our alumni Coordinator annette restle at arestle@covcath.org.

The Griffin Centre in need of some “TLC”Covington Catholic received a generous donation for the creation of the “griffin alumni Centre” in 2009, which will be housed in the former nazarene Church north of the CCH property. In order to make the griffin Centre hospitable for school and alumni events, we would like to do some tlC and ‘sprucing up.’ If you have any of the following skills that you would like to donate, please contact the Development office at 859-448-2247 or development@covcath.org. •Painting •Cleaning •LightConstruction/Carpentry •Plumbing •ElectricalWork •CeramicTileSetting

a Homecoming reception at the griffin Centre was held on october 23, before the varsity football game. We invited alumni to come back and tour the building. several came through looking at the space and the renderings of the potential im-provements to the facility. everyone was amazed at the size of the building and the potential for alumni gatherings and other events. Thanks to the boosters who provided food and drinks and the alumni Committee that hosted the event.

Covington Catholic’s marketing committee has launched our first ever ‘marketing blitz.’

soon everyone in northern Kentucky and beyond will know our new slogan, “He’s worth it: a Covington Catholic education.” With private education increasingly on the chopping block for many families, this campaign aims to counteract that very line of thinking.

Beyond convincing verbiage, this campaign will also be marked by mailings, yard signs and magnets specifically promoting our open house on november 7th. Huge 4 x 8 signs went up in nine prime locations. The drip campaign with targeted mailings to our

feeder school students began in early october with a postcard inviting 6th, 7th and 8th graders to “be a colonel for a day”. an enclosed “colonel card” is good for free concessions and admissions to a football and basketball game.

The blitz includes a great advertising package with The enquirer and local newspapers. Half page color ads in the papers will help to promote the open house and the high school placement test. CCH will have internet banners on nky.com. The messenger, a diocesan publication, will carry a black and white advertisement. a free radio ad on real talk 1160am will air during university of notre Dame football games. also a donated digital billboard will help

promote the open house. look for it at the 12th st. exit, southbound. all of this advertising is a big investment but the payoff promises to be higher enrollment, strengthening our budget and allowing for growth.

We hope that this message “He’s worth it” also resonates with current students and alums. Covington Catholic graduates are being asked to reflect on the value of their education with our annual appeal, “It was worth it.” The future of Covington Catholic depends on the willingness of our past, present and future students to exclaim loudly “It’s worth it!”

i’m worth it, he’s worth it, it was worth it: a Covington Catholic Education

The 28th annual st. elizabeth medical Center / Covington Catholic alumni golf outing, was held at summit Hills golf Club.

For the second year in a row we sold out both the morning and the afternoon flight prior to the outing. The outing raised approximately $35,000 which will help support the Booster organization as well as the operating budget of the school.

once again we want to thank our devoted committee members and the CCH moms and friend volunteers who helped to make this outing successful. The outing could not have happened without their help. We also want to thank our many sponsors. please review the list of sponsors and patronize them when you are in need of their services. Your commit-ment to this event has helped us to continue this great tradition for 28 years. Here’s to another great outing!

1965 The Class of ’65 held its reunion over the weekend of Sept. 10-11. The festivities began with a golf outing on Friday

morning and was well attended. A stag was held on the night of the 10th at the Villa Hills Civic Center, and about 50 class members attended. On Sat. Sept. 11, we met at the new school for a tour of the campus given by Sue Finke. Our class then attended the game vs. Campbell County (which the Colonels won!) and we were introduced to the crowd at halftime. That evening we reconvened at the Drawbridge for a dinner dance with wives and girlfriends. About 45 couples attended and a great time was had by all. The waist lines have expanded, there is a bit less hair, the stories are a bit grander, but after 45 years, our Colonel Pride has only grown.

each other in many years… Special thanks to Aaron Fausz for traveling all the way from Atlanta and to honorary grad Pat Coyne for traveling from St. Louis. Kudos to David Geis for sporting the C-Coat (and having it fit) the entire day. Most frequent comment was that many were surprised that we already have guys in our class who have retired! Everyone who attended looks forward to getting back together for the 30 year reunion, and we hope that even more of our classmates can join us then.

1990 The class of ’90 chartered a bus and went to Keeneland on October 9th. We had perfect weather and had a great

time. It was great catching up with some old classmates.

1995 On the weekend of October 8th & 9th, the Class of 1995 celebrated their 15-year reunion. On Friday night the guys

gathered to watch the CCH vs. Scott football game and then continued the night at Pee-Wee’s, sharing some great laughs and memories. On Saturday night, the guys joined the 1995 seniors from NDA in a joint dinner and dancing event with their spouses at The Florentine in Florence. It was a great event DJ’d by classmate Tim Gleason; a great time was had by all. It was definitely fun seeing everyone again and we’re already looking forward to our 20-year reunion in 2015!

2000 The class of ’00 celebrated their 10th year reunion the weekend of October 23 and 24. The reunion was attended

by 50 alumni over the two day celebration. Friday night was spent at Molly Malone’s in Covington catching up with old classmates. Saturday the alumni watched the Cov Cath football team beat the little Colonels of Dixie in a thrilling come from behind victory. After the game, the alumni enjoyed a grill out and a corn hole tournament at the school cafeteria. Thanks to all who helped make the reunion such a fun weekend!

2005 Our 5 year consisted of dollar beers down at The Beer Sellar in Newport. We had a fairly good turn out and it was

great to see so many old faces. Some of the NDA girls from ’05 came over to join us after their celebration in Mt. Adams. Big thanks to Travis Burns for all of his help to make the 5 year reunion possible.

1970 The class of ’70 held a stag Friday, Sept 10th at Covington Catholic. There were about 65 to 70 alumni in attendance.

It was great to see so many Saturday afternoon, and a hand full of the class attended the CCH vs. Campbell County football game. To kick the night off, the Colonels beat the Camels 49-14! Later that evening, there was a dinner at the Devou Park Golf Club House. A great night was had by all. There were about 50 alumni in attendance. Thanks to the committee for planning a great weekend!

1975 The class of ’75 had their 35th reunion on Friday, October 22nd, and Saturday, October 23rd, 2010.On Friday, 15

classmates went to beautiful Keeneland Race Course in Lexington and enjoyed a day at the races. The weather was great and the luck was fair. Jockey Robby Albarado (friend of Rick Lux) joined the group after the races for some tailgating and pictures. On Saturday, the class attended the Cov Cath vs. Dixie Home Coming Game (a 40 -36 CCH victory) and had a party that evening at PEE WEE’s. Altogether, 45 classmates attended.

1980 We had a great weekend! Friday was spent golfing and getting together at Dickmann’s sports cafe. Saturday

started with a prayer service with the football team. There was a victory on the football field later in the day to make the weekend even sweeter. The Colonels beat the Campbell County Camels 49-14. The weekend concluded with a fantastic pig roast at Kroth’s farm courtesy of Dave Kroth’s family. We had great attendance for the weekend. We offer a huge thanks to Pat McGinnis, Dave Kroth and families for a great 30 yr reunion. We have some commemorative cut crystal glasses still available. If you would like one give Greg Moser a call at 513 608 6688.

1985 On September 11th, the class of ’85 celebrated our 25th year reunion by enjoying a Colonels football win over

Campbell County, highlighted by the chance to go out on the field at halftime for a class photo at the 50 yard line. After the game, those who attended the game gathered in the cafeteria for a post-game reception where we met and heard the latest on the school’s activities from Principal Bob Rowe. That evening, a large group of ’85 grads (and wives) enjoyed a Reds walk-off win from the Cincinnati Bell Riverboat Deck at Great American Ball Park. It was great to see everyone, as several had not seen

100% of funds raised from the annual appeal

go to support tuition assistance.

this year Covington Catholic offered $240,000 in tuition

assistance.

Annual Appeal Campaign: October 1, 2010 – June 30, 2011 • Goal: $250,000

This year’s honorary chairs for the Annual Appeal are the Summes. The Summe family sent all ten of their children to Catholic schools. Their six sons attended Covington Catholic between the years of 1978 and 1998. To do so required sacrifice, but looking back the Summes all agree, “It was worth it.” Chad,the youngest of the Summes, reflects on Covington Catholic: “High School is a pivotal stage in one’s development and sets the foundation for success.  My time at CCH went beyond just preparing me for my next step, attending the United States Naval Academy; it provided me the tools to succeed in life...spiritually, mentally, and physically.“

In the words of Mrs. Jane Summe, mother of ten and grandmother of thirty four:“I can’t emphasize enough how important Catholic education is. I definitely agree that it was worth it. We would have given up anything to afford the schools. We did it because Covington Catholic upheld what we were teaching at home. I would see teachers like Dan Tieman going to mass on his lunch hour, dedicating his life to the school, and I wanted my sons to be around men like that. “

Your gift will allow students with financial need to attend Covington Catholic but who cannot afford to pay full tuition to attend Covington Catholic. One in every nine students receives financial aid to attend CCH. Put simply, without the annual appeal, these students could not be Colonels. Gifts can be mailed directly to Covington Catholic c/o the Development office or NOW donate online at www.covcath.org by clicking the “Annual Appeal” button.

Please consider giving to this year’s annual appeal. the need is greater than ever.
