VISION & STRATEGY

From the Principal/CEO Lourdes Lambert

Dear Alter Knights:

Who is your favorite teacher? That simple question can bring back a flood of memories.

For me, it was Mr. Robert Johnson, my high school Algebra 2 teacher who helped me believe in myself and my mathematics ability. He really cared about me and my peers in a way that I would come to understand much more deeply a few years later. He was my reason – my inspiration for becoming a teacher myself.

After college, I was teaching at Caroline High School in Virginia when I got the call that “Coach” Johnson had passed away unexpectedly. In addition to being an exemplary math teacher, he was a football coach at my former high school, and he died after being struck by lightning at football practice. The team was running indoors as a storm approached when Coach Johnson tackled a player to shield him from the lightning bolt – he died and the player beneath him lived. 2019-20, is our Year of the Teacher, so we are honoring our past and present teachers, who have given and continue to give 110% daily, I have told our students about Coach Johnson and the by issuing the 110% Challenge to the Alter Community. way he inspires me today because he died exactly as he lived every day – looking out for his students and being The Challenge is three fold their shield in the storms.

This trait instilled strength in me and was a good fit for his CIRCA EARLY 1980S role in education. As a member of Alter’s faculty, he was also able to provide an exceptional education for both my sister and I - an education that many do not have the opportunity to receive and for which I’m eternally grateful.

Ron DeBrosse, Sr. was a humble man. The dozens of heartfelt stories about how he made a positive difference in the lives of former students, colleagues, family, and friends after his passing was overwhelming and a testament to Alter and our supportive community.

The Class of 1969 is a class who truly cares about the health and livelihood of Alter High School. They care about our students, our successes, and our needs. They are inquisitive, action-oriented, and get-it-done people. We were so very pleased to have members of the Class of 1969, who graduated 50 years before, lead in the Class of 2019 at this year’s graduation ceremony. During the ceremony, ‘69 alum and Athletic Hall of Fame member, Dr. Tim Quinn, addressed our students from the Class of 2019. We look forward to watch these new graduates carry many of the words from Dr. Quinn and the traditions from the class of ‘69 as they continue on their life journey.

As the Class of 1969 gathered for this graduation ceremony, they were busy also planning their own 50th Alter High School Reunion.

10 the ROUNDTABLE SCHOLARSHIP BREAKFAST The Scholarship Breakfast is thrown each year to honor all scholarship donors and recipients. It is a lovely morning where we celebrate mass and then break bread together to allow time for the givers to meet the receivers and for those receivers the chance to give thanks in person. At the 2019 Scholarship Breakfast, there was so much love and appreciation in the room for the help the donors and their scholarships provide students wishing to continue in Catholic education.

Over the last ten years, our Advancement Office has done a tremendous job of working with our Alter community to increase scholarships to our incoming and current students. The number of scholarships awarded has increased from ten to 120 in number, with the total value of these Alter High School would like to give a big THANK YOU awarded scholarships exceeding $200,000. We have just scratched the surface of meeting the to Mike Fornes ’71 and Karen Galamb ’71 Fornes, along needs of our families, and it is imperative we continue our efforts, as the cost of sending children with Mike’s band “Gordon Lightfoot Tribute” who held to Catholic High Schools has increased tremendously and has become quite a burden on families. a benefit concert for us in our Conservatory Theatre.

Lourdes also introduced each of our student speakers (Freshman Emma Hansley, Junior Allison Wallace, and Senior Andrew Hornick) in such a loving manner, and they all spoke of what their scholarships meant to them. Andrew specifically mentioned that going to Alter was something he worked hard to achieve. With older siblings who attended public school, Andrew knew he had to be part of the solution. After the breakfast, his mother Lisa Hornick wrote some very impactful words “…. I cannot say enough good things about what Andrew’s Alter education has meant to him and our family. He’s been blessed with a principal who takes the time to get to know every student and truly cares for them. Some of his teachers have become his most valued mentors. He has found wonderful, beautiful friends. Alter is a community like no other, and we are so grateful.”

KNIGHT OF GRATITUDE

Being able to thank those who give to Alter is something we can never do enough of, and this year to show our Knights Council level investors how much we appreciate them, Lourdes Lambert held her annual KNIGHT OF GRATITUDE in The Christine Connor & Fred J. Miller Conservatory of the Arts building. The gathering of wonderful people mixed with great food in a beautiful venue perfectly kicked off our evening.

We then ushered our guests into the Lori Suttman Theatre where we heard the stars of the evening, our students. Our Knights Council Leadership Scholarship recipients Madeline Maffett, Tommy Eckert, Kailey Smith, Maddie Jeck, Nick Rodman, and Grace Girmann all showed us that giving to Alter is a wonderful investment. These students spoke up (and even danced) on the stage with poise, confidence, compassion, and heart-felt appreciation to those who have given to Alter and to those who have laid the tradition before them. Our com- munity rallies around our school and our students, and it is with true gratitude to our community that we are able to do many of the things we do at Alter. Thank you for continuing to invest in our future.

MAGNIFIED GIVING - CLASS OF 2020 Magnified Giving is an organization that encourages student philanthropy and giving to non-profit organizations. The founder of Magnified Giving, Roger Grein, spoke to our students about his personal inspiration for the program and his dream to educate, inspire and engage students in philanthropy. Magnified Giving gives $1000 (or more) to groups of students and challenges them to find a local non-profit organization to receive this money. Our Senior Theology Students have been researching social issues that are meaningful to them and have identified Non-Profits that are working on these issues in the Dayton area. This is Alter’s 4th year participating in the program.

Through this program, we are learning about philanthropy and philanthropists, the many social needs of our community, and the efforts of local organizations to meet those needs. We are inviting non-profit organizations to compete for our grant by completing a Grant Application. Once we receive the applications, we will review the applications, make site visits, create presentations and choose which organization should receive our grant.

16 the ROUNDTABLE theAlumniConnection From the Director of Alumni Relations Kim Graf ‘88 Schimpf

WHAT IS AN ALTER KNIGHT ALUMNUS? I was recently asked how I would describe an Alter High School alumnus. In doing so, I reflected on the people in our Alter community - those I have known for some time and those I’ve met in my time working here at Alter. I thought about the students and the time and effort they put into what they do. I thought about the young alumni in college and in the work force, who are figuring out their place in this world and determining plans for the future. I thought about our culture, and I thought about our many traditions. What is an Alter Knight alumnus?

It certainly starts with our students and the culture and traditions they are a part of here at Alter. Our students carry on the traditions of those that came before them, and they strive for success in academics, extracurricular activities, and philanthropy. While doing so, they are also kind, inclusive, and supportive. These students, who are a part of our success-driven culture at Alter, evolve into alums who strive for success regularly.

Our alums….. They strive for success in all they do. Some saves lives, some work and advocate for the needs of others, some have started and run successful businesses, others perform on Broadway or in the Symphony, some teach and counsel students, some build buildings, others share their faith with many on a regular basis, so many protect us and our country, and a tremendous number of alums are strong spouses and inspirational mothers and fathers. Whatever it is that our alums do, it’s clear to me that success is a part of it.

So after thinking about our students and the evolution of those students into alums, I can confidently say that an Alter High School alumnus is driven, faith-filled, and ultimately successful. Striving for success is something that naturally becomes part of an Alter student during the time spent here, so much so, that success seems to be embedded in the being of an Alter Knight forever. I’m not sure if it is because of our community, our high expectations, or the other students striving for similar goals, but one thing is for sure….Alter Knights reach for greatness. That success mixed got email? with passionate kindness is the combination that creates the Many of our alumni updates are now sent via email. especially unique being of an Alter High School alumnus.
