Mission Statement
Trinity Catholic High School
is a Roman Catholic, coeducational, college preparatory school
under the direction of the Diocese of Bridgeport.
Trinity Catholic High School is a Christ-centered community committed to educating the whole person
within the Roman Catholic tradition. It provides an atmosphere of respect and reverence in which each
member is able to develop spiritually, morally, intellectually, socially, and physically in order to live as a
positive Christian witness and responsible citizen in the service of God and others.

Letter from Our Principal
Letter from Our Principal
Dear Alumni, Parents & Friends:
I am honored at having been selected as the next principal and enthusiastic at the prospect of working with you to continue the growth of
Trinity Catholic High School. In my short time here, I have already come to understand the great love so many people have for Catholic
High. Let me share my initial perceptions and a few thoughts about our school’s future direction.
I am deeply impressed by the dedication of so many individuals to Catholic High’s mission. Over my four decades in Catholic high
schools as a teacher and administrator, I have worked with many loyal alumni/ae and parents at many schools. But I will confess to
being surprised - and grateful! - at the depth of commitment I have witnessed here.
The intergenerational loyalty of so many alumni/ae and their families is impressive. More than 10% of our students are the second
generation from their families to have attended Catholic High. And being located in a great neighborhood in a great city, Catholic High
is positioned well for growth going forward.
One of our top priorities is increasing enrollment, and I am confident that with a renewed focus on academics, including 21st-century
learning through the 1:1 technology program described elsewhere in this issue and a new high-profile Honors program for incoming
freshmen, we will attract increasing numbers of students.
Yet like all Catholic schools, Catholic High also faces some challenges. Our facility is aging. This summer we accelerated our roof
replacement project to complete Phases Three and Four of a five-year plan. We replaced our telephone system and, of course,
advancing technology requires continuing updates. Most of these improvements to our infrastructure, while costly, are not immediately
visible to visitors.
Maybe that’s why the most frequent comment I hear from returning alumni/ae is “The place hasn’t changed!” We can be proud when
that comment refers to our fidelity to our Catholic identity, or to maintaining the reputation for academic excellence our graduates have
established. Unfortunately it too often refers to our facility.
And that’s one of the reasons I’m excited about our new field initiative. The new turf field will provide our student-athletes with a premium
athletic complex and will also benefit our recruitment effort. More details on the progress of the ENVISION Campaign can be found
elsewhere in this publication.
Meanwhile, we are expanding the Advisory Board so that our school has partners with the expertise we need to guide the future
direction of our school - both to assess all aspects of our educational program and to ensure we have the resources in place to
provide our students the best possible education. Three new committees, Marketing, Education/Programs and Advancement, will join the
Facilities, Field and Finance Committees already established. I look forward to sharing more information about our school’s progress
as the year unfolds. In the meantime, I ask that you keep all of us in the Trinity Catholic High School community in your prayers and
assure you that you will be in ours.

Every year when I attend graduation I am reminded of the importance of the work done
every day by our faculty, staff and administration and the support we receive from you,
our Catholic High community.
Exciting highlights for the 2015-2016 year: the continuation of our iPad initiative, the
completion of our new roof and the beginning of construction on our new athletic complex.
As always, we need help from our alumni and friends to support our Annual Fund.
This year the Annual Fund retained 82% of the 2013-2014 Annual Fund donors. This is
an amazing number considering the national average is 67%. This year we saw 159 more
Annual Fund donors and our Annual Fund total increased 25.89% over last year bringing
in $191,461. Without your help it would not be possible to educate the 435 students that
we welcomed in September.
Diane Warzoha
I hope that sometime during the year you are able to visit Trinity so you can witness for
yourself our efforts to become the best high school in our area.

Technology / Mission Trip
One iPad, One Stylus, One Platform, Oh My!
Utilizing the iPad as a vehicle for 21st century teaching and learning is a newly established benchmark that is being adopted within
the Diocese of Bridgeport, because it increases student engagement and motivation, enhances academic performance, and fosters
instructional flexibility and resource efficiency. While innumerable benefits to multimodal teaching and learning have been recognized by
educational facilities worldwide, Trinity Catholic High School prides itself on selecting a technologically advanced platform that not only
bolsters academic achievement, but also enables students to further develop in the ways that support our school’s mission. Spiritual, moral,
intellectual, and social development fueled by a cognizant faculty, a euphoric student body, and an embracing community will steer the
Crusaders to success as iPad education emerges on our campus during the 2015-2016 school year.
Social interaction, spiritual stimulation, and academic excellence are all opportunities presented to students through Trinity Catholic
High School’s tight knit community. As we jump further into a 21st century style of learning these prospects are broadened. Through the
intertwining of synchronous and asynchronous learning, students will be better equipped for the technological changes that have swept
throughout higher education and the modern workforce. Enhancing students’ resourcefulness, while inciting interaction and connectivity
with peers, teachers, and texts, will ultimately broaden the academic prospects within the Trinity Catholic High School community. This
will afford teachers a means for facilitating discussions, lessons and assessments rooted in real world practical experiences.
Pairing the educational and technological modality of use of the iPad with the ingenuity of our faculty, staff, and students creates an
environment for substantive and creative educational opportunities. As students translate proficiencies and confidences gained in
the classroom to their community outreach, service, and career endeavors, the impact of technologically enhanced education in this
community will be undeniably remarkable.
Mission Trip
Christina Ferreira ‘16
Trinity Catholic High School takes on a mission trip. If that simple sentence does not describe the Crusaders sufficiently, who knows
what would. The Crusaders succeeded in reaching the amount of applicants due to the motivation, compassion, acceptance, and
spiritual leadership of none other than Father Sam. Not knowing what to expect when climbing onto the coach bus that was packed with
sleeping bags, fans, extra socks, and more snacks than the average Walmart sells, the students, Ms. Forlenzo, Mrs. Egan, Ms. Branca,
Father Sam, and even two seminarians, Dan and David, did not fail to have a smile breaking through their nervousness for the journey
ahead. Upon arrival, kids from all different parishes across the nation greeted the Crusaders, giving them a sense of what college will
be like; a fresh start with people from all over. When most hear the phrase “mission trip,” community service comes to mind, which is
an accurate mindset. However, Catholic Heart Workcamp provided so much more. Some rekindled their love with God while some
made unexpected friendships. Maybe it was the little water and sleeping on air mattresses in a classroom that created a bond, but any
Crusader can agree that being able to automatically befriend someone without judgment is definitely a Trinity Catholic High School
characteristic. The mission trip has yet to grow to its full potential but its past attendees are adamant in keeping it alive. This phrase
regarding mission trips in general is overused, but it truly was a life-changing experience. Community service may feed those in need,
but it also feeds the soul of the giver.

Envision Campaign
The goals of the Envision Campaign
for the short and long-term future of
the Trinity Catholic High School are to:
•
•
•
•
Promote the school’s Catholic identity and values
Ensure a premium 21st century educational experience
Update and enhance campus and infrastructure
Ensure the school’s financial stability
Why a new sports complex
A new sports complex means many things to Trinity Catholic High School and its athletes, present and future. We groom our athletes to
compete at the next level where they will play on a turf field. Also, a turf field proves to be more durable, has fewer maintenance costs
and provides a safer surface with fewer injuries to the athletes.
Repositioning the field will allow the baseball and softball fields to be utilized without having to remove goal posts from the outfield. More
Trinity Catholic High School sports will be able to play and practice simultaneously. Besides saving money on rental of off-site fields, this
will permit the lacrosse team to play home games for the first time. Field lighting for evening games and events will also increase time
available for practices and competition. The field can be used throughout the year and without concern for weather conditions.
The importance of athletics to the trinity experience
Nearly 80% of all our students participate in one or more competitive athletic activities. Sports and physical education are an integral
part of the school’s educational program. Interscholastic competition provides students with physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual
experiences that benefit not only the individual, but the school and total community as well. Participants not only become physically fit
but also develop self-discipline, loyalty and commitment to a cause greater than themselves. The all-purpose turf field will be used by all
students and will help accommodate the needs and expectations of our 21st century school.
Where we stand
Construction has begun!
We are moving forward, but we still have work to do! Fundraising in ongoing to close the gap and secure a minimum of an additional
$750,000 to reach a $3 million goal. The amount raised will determine the scope of the finished project.
Your partnership advances the mission
Trinity Catholic High School needs your help to achieve this goal! This project will be funded through designated gifts above and beyond
the Annual Fund. Show your Crusader Spirit and Pride and contribute to making this project a reality. Commitments can be made over
a three to five year period. Prestigious naming opportunities exist.
Together…Let’s Envision…and Achieve it!
*Contribution details for Phase 2 of the Campaign, which includes enhancements to the Library and the Auditorium will commence
in 2016.

Phase 1 Jubilee of Sport
14/15 Sports Team Captians
On the chilly morning of April 24, 2015 Bishop Frank J. Caggiano presided over a groundbreaking ceremony, as construction of a new
sports field at Trinity Catholic High School will commence this fall.
This symbolic groundbreaking follows three years of planning and is part of the school’s multi-year ENVISION Campaign to upgrade
and renovate its facilities and provide the latest educational technology. “This venture is important to making it possible for Trinity
Catholic High School to better serve our school community”, said Dr. Joseph Gerics, Principal. “This Envision Campaign is building on
the school’s tradition of preparing young men and women to achieve their highest potential in all facets of life.”
The $3 million dollar campaign is the largest since the school’s opening in 1958. Phase 1 of the campaign was approved by the
Zoning Board of the City of Stamford last fall, and will include a complete refurbishing of the rear-of-school field campus to include a
brand-new, multi-purpose, turf field for varsity and JV football, boys’ and girls’ soccer, lacrosse, and girls’ field hockey. To date,
generous donations have been made by dozens of alumni, parents and corporations towards the Phase 1 goal of $3 million.
With the support of the Diocese of Bridgeport, additional phases of the campaign to renew, rebuild and revitalize Trinity Catholic
High School will commence upon the completion of Phase 1 and will include a new media center and auditorium upgrades, plant
improvements and renovation of the baseball and softball fields.
“The new sports complex is one part of an overall strategic plan for Trinity Catholic High School. It began with a needs assessment to
identify initiatives that will move the high school forward. Our goal is to offer the highest level of contemporary educational services in
a faith-based environment, as well as accommodate an anticipated growth in its student population over the next two decades,” said
Sister Mary Grace Walsh, ASCJ, Ph.D., Superintendent of Schools for the Diocese. “As the only diocesan high school in this area of
Fairfield County, it is important to the diocese that Trinity Catholic has a strong and bright future.”

Service to Others
Food Drive
Since the doors have opened at 926 Newfield Ave. there has been a food drive
taking place each year, ever changing and growing with the passing of time. The 2014 Trinity
Catholic High School Thanksgiving Food & Cereal Drive surpassed their goal of 4370lbs
of food by 3332.43lbs bringing in a total of 7702.43lbs. This total includes 400 boxes of
cereal and 86 turkeys. The students and faculty also participated in a no-shave November
fundraiser which raised funds toward turkey purchases. Food was delivered to The Food Bank of
Lower Fairfield County, Inc. and cereal was donated to St Joseph’s Parenting Center of Stamford.
Blood Drive(s)
A long-standing tradition each year, the Senior Class sponsors a fall and spring blood drive for the
American Red Cross as their class service project. In addition to raising awareness for the need for blood
donations, over 33 useable pints in the fall and 31 useable pints in the spring were collected. Chairperson
Lindsey McMahon and all the seniors who worked on this service project did an excellent job of carrying
on this Senior Class tradition.
Toy Drive
Thank you to those members of our Crusader family who helped share the Spirit of Christmas by
donating Toys to our Annual Toy Drive. We fulfilled 35 Wish Cards for specific children and collected
an additional 300 toys for the general Inspirica Toy Drive.
March for Life
On Thursday, January 22, eighteen students and five chaperones travelled to Washington, D.C. to
participate in the 2015 March for Life. The trip began with the Life is Very Good rally and a Mass
celebrated at the Patriot Center of George Mason University followed by the March from the Washington
Monument up past the Capitol and concluded at the congressional offices. The March for Life is a peaceful
demonstration to share the truth concerning the greatest human rights violation of our time, legalized
abortion on demand.
Pink Week
The National Honor Society sponsored Breast Cancer Awareness Week, raising money through
bake sales and a collection of spare change each lunch period. During Pink Week, Stamford health
care professionals, Elaine Morganelli M.D., Jennifer Bishop M.D. and Liz Manfredo M.S., RD
Administrator, Cancer Services, spoke with the senior girls about breast care and the
importance of self-examination. Craig Tifford M.D. and Dominique Srdanovic, GU Nurse Navigator,
spoke with the senior boys about testicular cancer. Pink Week ended with the “Going Pink” rally
when students were given facts, information and statistics about breast cancer. Mrs. Warzoha,
Assistant Principal, spoke to the students as a breast cancer survivor. On behalf of all cancer
patients, she offered her thanks for the way we raise both funds and awareness. The Trinity Catholic
community donated nearly $2000 to the Bennett Cancer Center at Stamford Hospital.
Pay it Forward – Help the Homeless
Sophomore Backpack Project March 2015... There is tremendous power and positive energy
in giving. Each year the sophomores at Trinity Catholic High School take part in “Paying it
Forward.” It is a concept of selfless giving and a way to unite people all over the world, allowing us to
experience the true power of giving and making a positive difference. As we all know the
winters in CT are brutal. We can’t imagine how hard it would be to live out on the streets in
this extreme weather. Our goal was to encourage everyone to embrace the incredible power of
giving by helping us create care packages to deliver to various emergency homeless shelters in CT.

Ways to Give
Gifts of Cash
Gifts may be in the form of cash, check, credit card, debit card, pledge and on-line
donations to our website: www.trinitycatholic.org.
Trinity Catholic’s major sources of
income are tuition, fees and
philanthropic support.
Matching Gifts
Many companies match contributions their employees make to a non-profit. When
making your gift, request a matching gift form from your company and forward to
the Advancement Office at TCHS. We give full credit to the donor for any gift they make
-as well as any match their employer gives.
•
Tuition and fees do not cover the entire
cost to educate a student. The Annual
Fund, other fundraising efforts and
earned income make up the difference.
•
Giving to the Annual Fund is the best
way for alumni, parents, parents of
alumni and friends to make a difference
in the future of Trinity Catholic - it’s the
financial lifeblood of the school.
•
Can’t write a check for your total
donation at one time? Installment giving
allows you to maximize your gift by
scheduling your contribution over the
course of the school year - July 1st
through June 30th.
•
•
Bequests
Bequests are gifts made through one’s will and may be in the form of cash, property or
a portion of one’s estate.
Life Income Gifts
A life income gift, such as a charitable remainder trust or annuity trust, is an
ideal way to make a substantial gift to the school. Deferred gifts such as these have
significant tax advantages and can increase your income while benefiting Trinity
Catholic High School at the same time.
Gift societies provide an opportunity
for all donors to be recognized and
acknowledged at the level of their
generosity. For the Annual Fund to be
successful, it must reflect the balance
between leadership gifts and broad
participation.
United Way Gifts
You can support both Trinity Catholic High School and participate in your
Corporate United Way Campaign by designating TCHS as the recipient of
your gift on your donor choice form. TCHS will receive your gift through the
United Way based on your payroll deduction instructions or as a one- time amount.
Our school EIN is #06-1560972.
The Veritas Society is a formal
organization of lead benefactors
and is open to all individuals, companies
and foundations who have made a
minimum Annual Fund gift of $1,000.
Mia Terenzio ‘15 and Angela Tournas ‘15
Gifts of Stock
It may be tax-wise to contribute stock rather than cash. Gifts of appreciated stock help
you avoid paying capital gains tax on the stock’s increased value. Furthermore, you
receive an income tax deduction for the stock’s full fair market value on the date you
make the gift. (Stock must have been held for more than a year.)
Your gift to the Annual Fund is an investment in the academic, spiritual and experiential
enrichment of all TCHS students. We depend on our dedicated Trinity Catholic families
and alumni to help keep our school in a position of fiscal stability.

misspelled, please accept our sincere apology and notify us of the error.
The Veritas Society
The Veritas Society is comprised of lead benefactors who, through their generosity, demonstrate a commitment to the vision and
mission of Trinity Catholic High School. Membership in the Society is open to all individuals, companies and foundations that make a
gift of $1,000 or more to the Annual Fund.
We remain grateful for all in the Society whose uncommon generosity sets the standard for philanthropy at Trinity Catholic High School.

Legacy Gala 2015
Legacy at Trinity Catholic High School is something that is tangible, whether it is the roaring crowd at a football game, heads bent
silently in prayer, or a student lending a helping hand. If you look around, you will see proof of it. Trinity is not simply a school, but a
family that passes along its treasured values from generation to generation. To be a Crusader is to leave a legacy of faith and goodwill.
Our Third Annual Legacy Gala, held on Saturday evening, May 2nd, paid tribute to several exceptional individuals who have been an
integral part of Trinity Catholic High School.
A Legacy of Encouragement
Tom ‘74 and Lisa Duddie P’15 have demonstrated a commitment to Catholic education and Trinity Catholic High School by remaining
strong advocates for the school’s mission where students can discover their full potential. They have given their time and efforts to ensure
that our student body thrives.
A Legacy of Purpose
Monsignor Edward Surwilo is the embodiment of the Trinity Catholic High School mission, aiding in the spiritual growth of the youth of
Stamford. He set the standard for future chaplains with the incredible bond he built with students, faculty and alumni.
A Legacy of Service
The Pavia Family ‘66,’68,’72 continues to be a valuable support system for Trinity Catholic High School and the City of Stamford.
Their tireless efforts to better our community and the results they have produced serve as a constant reminder of what hard work and
commitment to service can accomplish.
The Legacy of Excellence
The 1966 State & FCIAC Championship Football Team rose to victory through their dedication, good sportsmanship and faith. The team
members set a foundation of excellence for all future athletes and are a shining example of what it means to be a team and a Crusader.

Ernie Bourcier or Mr. B
Directing Souls for 47 Years
By Michael Carlon ‘92
The best teachers do not focus solely on lessons taught inside a classroom. They serve as examples of what means to care for not only
their students but also for the entire school community. There is no better example of such an educator than Ernie Bourcier, or Mr. B as
he is known by the greater Trinity Catholic High School community.
This past June, Mr. B. retired after an impressive 47 years of service to his beloved TCHS. The faculty and staff presented Ernie with a
statue of St. Jude, his favorite saint and the patron saint of lost souls. Ernie has been given many a soul direction for 47 years and it
was a touching token of the faculty and staff’s appreciation for someone who has spent almost half a century in service to the school.
For just four short years between 1988 and 1992 I was fortunate to have been a student in Mr. B’s French class. My saying he was one
of the best teachers I ever had is ironic considering I would fail a basic French test if one were given to me today (although I can tell you
anything you may wish to know about Monsieur and Madame Tibot). The truth is, what I learned from Mr. B goes well beyond what
he taught in the classroom; you see in addition to teaching me French, Mr. B had me selling grapefruits, participating in blood drives,
volunteering at the New Covenant House, and working countless health fairs. Through his example, Ernie showed me the importance
of spending my time in the service of my community helping make someone else’s day a little bit brighter and using my talents for
the greater good.
Ernie was raised in New Bedford, MA, and was the baby of his family. His father was a custodian and a well-respected member of the
community; so much so that his employer made a large donation to a Catholic school ensuring Ernie’s admittance (his tuition was also
covered). It was at that school that Ernie came to respect the religious brothers who were in charge of the school. “There was no such
thing as detention. If you did something wrong, a brother would come to you, hand you a pair of boxing gloves, and say ‘let’s talk it
over in the gym.’”
After high school Ernie decided to answer a call to religious life and entered a novitiate program for the Brothers of the Holy Cross.
Religion has played a big part in Ernie’s life, “My mother would have us praying on our knees every night. Sometimes we would be
praying so long my father would fake back pain to signal it was time to stop.” Entering the brotherhood was eye opening as he had to
take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience with the last vow being quite challenging. “We were all given assignments, and one day I
was told to catch, kill, and clean a chicken. I had never done that before and I didn’t know what I was doing, but I had to do it. I had to
be obedient.” This story is actually near and dear to my heart because if we ever wanted to distract Mr. B from teaching a full class, my
classmates and I would conspire to have Mr. B talk about the chickens. Doing so would lead to a tangent that even the bell couldn’t stop.
In 1968 Ernie decided not to take his final vows, and he left the brotherhood to follow what he considered to be his true vocation as a
teacher. He confessed, “I felt that I could do more as a teacher than as a brother.” He came to Stamford Catholic High School in 1968 only
to be told on a weekly basis by the sister in charge of the school at that time that she didn’t know how long he was going to be kept around.
Those first few years were particularly challenging. Ernie was not much older than the students he was teaching, and it took him
a good four years to develop confidence as an educator. Over those four years, Ernie had bonded with the students, the school,
and the entire school community. “I once took a woman to a play that we had at school, and the sister who ran the library said
to me, ‘that will be the last time you take that girl out because you are married to this school.’” And what a lovely bride she is.
Mr. B Circa 1970
Ernie Bourcier or Mr. B
Fast forward forty seven years, and Ernie’s marriage to the school remains strong. While he has officially retired from
teaching, he remains active working in alumni relations. You will still see him out front directing traffic and dodging cars
driven by former alumni who’d like to run him over. As a matter of fact, the driveway has been officially renamed “Mr. B’s
Boulevard.” Ernie is so passionate about keeping the spirit of the school alive that he would like to write a book about the history
of the school and, true to form, would donate all proceeds back to the school. I guess he still takes that vow of poverty seriously!
I started my interview with Ernie with one key question in mind; what could be so great about a school that would encourage one
to spend almost half a century in its employment? After my discussion with Ernie, I realize I was asking the wrong question. The
right question, of course, is what is it about Ernie that would encourage a school to keep him around for so long? Like Jeopardy, the
answer can be phrased in the form of question; what school wouldn’t want a dedicated teacher with tremendous integrity, a passion for
the school community and a true concern for the wider community?

Alumni in the News
Christ’s Calling
Class salutatorian Lauren Janik ’11 has been accepted as a postulant with the Sisters of
Life and entered the convent in September 2015. She and her family are parishioners at Holy
Spirit Parish in Stamford, CT. She graduated this spring from Providence College in Rhode
Island with a BA in Theology and a concentration in Biology. Lauren says her “discernment
with the Sisters of Life began while I was in high school. Christ’s beckoning to religious life
grew clearer in college, where I was blessed with so many genuine, faithful friends along
with countless, dedicated Dominican Friars.” At Providence, she enjoyed being involved with
PC for Life, Handmaids of Mary, and volunteering at St. Pius V Elementary School. Trinity
Catholic High School sends prayers and good wishes to Lauren as she begins her new life.
Alumna Goes to Ghana
Trinity Catholic High School has always had a history of charitable work and becoming
involved with the members of our community who are in need. We instill in our students the values of
integrity and service, which remain with them for their entire lives. One of these students is Kristin
Holbert ’09 , who decided to take a life-changing trip to Dodowa, Ghana. Kristin attended the University of
Vermont, where she earned a degree in Early Childhood Special Education. When she finished her
program in 2013, she began her professional career by becoming a pre-school teacher. Kristin then
decided she wanted the use her skills in early childhood education by teaching children abroad. After some
research, she eventually set her sights on Ghana. The Trinity Catholic High School community is looking
forward to Kristin sharing her experience in the upcoming school year.
Broadway by Storm
In January 2015 Brennyn Langhorn ’10 Lark made her Broadway debut in Les Miserables. During her time
here Brennyn was an active member of the Crusader Players, where she shared her talent with her peers and the TCHS
community. Brennyn went on to study at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy where she received her degree.
Trinity Catholic High School congratulates Brennyn on her Broadway success and will be looking for her in future
leading roles.
2008 Graduate Returns to her College Roots
Da’Shena Stevens ‘08 will return to her College alma mater St. John’s University class of 2012 as a
member of the Women’s Basketball Coaching Staff. During her time as a Crusader Da’Shena was
four-time FCIAC All State, Runner Up Gatorade Player of the Year, MVP at the JCC School Girl
Classic, leading her team to three FCIAC and one State title during her run, just to name a few
accomplishments. After graduating from St. John’s with a degree in accounting, Da’Sheena played one year
of professional basketball in Switzerland and has spent the past year working at Wagner College as the
athletic department’s Director of Business and Finance. Her Trinity Catholic High School family looks forward to
watching the next chapter of her career unfold.
Five Alum Honored at Stamford Old Timers Dinner
On December 1, 2014, five Stamford Catholic High School Alumni were honored at the
72nd Annual Stamford Old Timers Athletic Association dinner. Thomas “Bo” Hickey ’63,
Rocky Possidento ’68, Bob Robustelli ’70, Dick Swatland ’63, and Walt Wuchiski
’63 were all recognized for their achievements both on and off the fields as well as their dedication
in supporting youth programs and student athletes. All have sports accomplishments and awards,
some going on to play college, and even professional, sports. They all exemplify what it means
to be a Crusader by giving back to our school and the community at large by their dedication to
supporting youth programs and student athletes.
The Advocate, Jason Rearick
