A Letter to the Trinity Family I would do anything for this school. I think it’s an exemplary place for my kids to be. It’s the support from the faculty, the teachers, the counselors and the office staff. You never have to worry about your kid being there because someone is looking out for them. My husband and I toured Trinity first, and we didn’t need to go anywhere else – our decision was made. When my husband passed away from cancer, I was going to stick to our decision, no matter what, even if I had to work three jobs. Thanks to financial aid, both of my sons have the opportunity to be here.

Accessibility to a Trinity education is a real concern for many families. Without the support of donors to the Trinity Annual Fund, my boys would not have the opportunity to become Trinity alumni. My family is just one of many who benefit from tuition assistance.

I humbly ask you to please consider making a gift to the Trinity Annual Fund. Every gift, no matter the amount, really does make a difference.

Thank you,

Melinda Hillebrand Mother of Austin ’13 and Kyle ’15

I could not be more proud of the work that led to the adoption of our new daily class schedule. The four-year study that led to this new schedule was thorough and objective. The case for making this move was compelling. Now, as we near the end of the school year, I could not be happier with the results we are seeing. What we thought could be possible has come true. The transition to block scheduling has been as seamless a change as any I have ever seen at Trinity. On pages 26 and 27 of this issue you will find comments from teachers and students about the new schedule. Their words say a lot. To see more quotes, visit www. I know that we will continually examine the schedule to optimize its benefits.

Alumni Needed for Trinity Speakers Bureau Trinity is seeking alumni who would be willing to speak with students about their careers. The school has a Speakers Bureau each month. Approximately 30-100 students attend. Alumni would be asked to speak for 30 minutes about their career, work life, education, etc., then answer students’ questions.

If you would be willing to participate in the Trinity Speakers Bureau, please contact Steve Ferman, junior counselor, at (502) 736-2106 or [email protected]. 5 leadermagazine FOR ALUMNI AND FAMILY OF TRINITY HIGH SCHOOL

Winston Churchill once said, “There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction.” I thought it would be worthwhile to spend some time reporting on how changes at Trinity have impacted learning this year. As I’ve written in previous articles, our educational world is in the midst of the greatest change in history. Never before have so many had access to so much information with the ability to access it nearly anywhere. The Internet and mobile technology have educators and institutions questioning their relevance. It’s enough to have many questioning what role schools play in this brave new world. The answer is that schools now are more vital than ever. Our students come to us today a bit more “worldly wise” but still without the perspective necessary to discern value. They are seeing more sooner and often becoming jaded in the process. It’s too easy to choose easy entertainment, quick laughs or thrills, without principal’s corner principal’s learning the importance of sustained attention, without BY DANIEL J.

It’s in our mission as a school. It says we provide our students with values in Catholic education. And in providing those values we convey Jesus’ message, the Good News of Salvation, the gospel, Jesus’ Word, as we find it in the Holy Scriptures (see 1 John 1:5 and 3:11). We also introduce our students (through a great variety of means) to the Person of Jesus, the Word of God in human form, “spoken” once and for all to us – alive, risen, loving each of us and vibrantly powerful in our world (John 1:1-18). As a school community, we have truly accepted God’s revelation to us in Jesus Christ. We are attempting to grow with it personally and teach it to others, notably our students. We believe that we have everyday fellowship with side spiritual

It’s hard to believe the Class of 2013 will soon be joining the ranks of the Trinity Alumni Association. This has been a great senior class, and I know they will finish the year on a strong note. It’s important for them to stay connected to Trinity and get involved with our events as they continue to travel down life’s road. Our Alumni Board recently met to discuss the strategic plan initiatives for our Alumni Association. We will be gathering again to lay out a plan to motivate more of our alums to get involved in the fellowship and fraternity that is Trinity. As an Alumni Board, we are charged to create and execute events that attract a wide variety of our alumni. I believe we can do a better job of reaching more of our brothers, but we need to know what

Class of ’77 alum reflects on his 35-year reunion My Brothers in Christ: I recently had the privilege to return “home” for my 35- year class reunion. Every time I set foot on the Trinity campus, I swell up with pride about how far things have come in the three and one half decades since I graduated. You have been faithful stewards of the money entrusted to you. It is reflected not only in the bricks and mortar, but in something much more lasting – the education you are providing to the coming generations of Trinity Sham- rocks. So many deserving and needful young men are being provided an opportunity that they all appreciate but will not truly realize until they have the good fortune of age and maturity to look back and say, “Now I understand.” I do that daily. The lessons that I learned both in and out of the classroom at Trinity have shaped and molded any success that I can claim. God’s grace led me to work with Mr. Mike Hamilton H’96 on both The ECHO and the 1977 Shamrock yearbook. He had a small scroll in his classroom that read: “What You are is God’s Gift to You. What You MAKE of Yourself is Your Gift to God.” He knew I admired that saying and bestowed a copy of that to me upon graduation. Through the many years, the scroll has become lost, but the lesson is one that I silently repeat every Alumni News Alumni morning I wake and it guides my actions. This seemingly insignificant gift shaped a life. That is typical of the Trini- ty Experience. Matthew 25:20 reads: “And so he that had received five talents came and brought the other five talents, saying, Lord, Thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.” I find myself this year with additional talents. I have enclosed a $1,000 check in dedication to the Class of 1977 and the matching grant challenge Trinity President Dr. Rob Mullen ’77 told us about at our reunion. Continue doing the Lord’s work at Trinity High School and know that you are in my daily prayers.

Pictured with John Ellington ’76 (center) are his father (left) and mother, Frank and Mary Ellington; his wife, Beverly; and his father- and mother-in-law, Emmett and Pat Ramser.

Trinity faculty member Mr. John Ellington ‘76 was honored at the annual St. Matthews Community Pride Breakfast at The Olmsted on Dec. 12, 2012.

A member of the Trinity Class of 1976, Ellington returned to his alma mater in 1987 to teach Mathematics and has been a fixture ever since. In addition to his full-time teaching duties, Ellington also has coached track, football and baseball in his long and distinguished career at Trinity. But Ellington’s impact in the St. Matthews community extends beyond the walls of Trinity High School. He has volunteered countless hours helping young boys and girls to develop leadership skills and find their way in the world. Among his many community impacts are the following:

Ellington currently teaches Algebra II and Geometry at Trinity, is an assistant coach with the freshman football team and head coach of the JV baseball team. He and his wife, Bev, have three children: Aaron (Trinity, 2008), Morgan and Courtney. John Ellington’s teaching and coaching career is a model for others and has touched the lives of hundreds of young people in a positive way.

“I have more lab time to actually do work and accomplish projects!” Michael Budniak H’11, Science

“We are getting to know students more personally, which enables us to adapt lessons to our students and allows the students to more fully participate in the learning process.” Jennifer Browning H’06, Math

“Because of the extended time for group activities, I’ve been able to engage students that were quiet and shy in class before. No one gets left out or behind.” Keith Rapp, Social Studies

What TEACHERS are saying about block...

“I’ve had students do presentations that they didn’t have the opportunity to do in the past and the quality and depth of discussion has visibly increased because of extra time.” Scott Holzknecht ’97, Theology

“The schedule allows me to discuss with students in detail the importance of, and background for, the assignments they are completing. It brings the class together as a unit, appreciating the diverse thinking and backgrounds of each person in the room.” Jeremy J. Jackson, Science “Two days to study for tests and to get homework finished is a plus. You can go over a chapter and do work on it the same class period, which increases what you have learned.” Jon Goldenberg ’13

“There are more opportunities to take electives. There is more time in class to do multiple activities.” Grant Bowling ’13

“The block schedule provides significant insight to the academic environment of college. It gives students the chance to experience something that most high-schoolers don’t.” Jack Harrison ’14

“I love the college feel and the extended time. It feels like I get more work done. I also love how each day feels different.” Chris Gaynor ’14 What students are saying about block...

“I like the block schedule because it gives the teacher more time to explain the work presented and allows a teacher to spend more time with a student needing help.” Arthur Smith ’13

“As a student in the Advanced Program, I can say block scheduling allows me plenty of time to do my homework, talk to teachers when I need help and partake in after-school activities.” Braden Barnett ’16 Why donate to Trinity? A word from Trinity President Dr. Robert J. Mullen ’77

“Tom has been honored by his Trinity colleagues and the Archdiocese of Louisville for his excellent teaching and decades in youth ministry,” Trinity President Dr. Rob Mullen ‘77 said. “His personal style is understated but his impact is powerful. His students have been privileged to be in his class. The nice thing is, they know it, too.”

In addition to his commitment to teaching generations of young men in the classroom, Dubay also has been a generous supporter of the Trinity Annual Fund, which raises money to help provide tuition assistance to families with a demonstrated need.

“Support of the Trinity Annual Fund is important because, as a school, we want our education to be accessible to as many people as possible,” he noted. “As the cost of education rises, more people need help. The Trinity Annual Fund can provide them that help.”

Dubay says if you want to invest in someone’s future, Trinity is the place to do it.

“I give because I believe the education received at THS is invaluable,” he said. “Not only the classes, but the retreats, the values, the friendships and the maturating process our students go through… all those things are invaluable – and need to be made available to anyone who wants them.”

Through my years at Trinity, I have learned to become a “Man of Character,” which has allowed me to know how to be a young adult, be humble and take pride in my achievements. Trinity has done so much for me, and I would have not been able to attend this school if it wasn’t for the financial aid. It is truly a blessing, and I want to make the most of my time at Trinity. Without this assistance, I would not be the same man I am today. Someday I hope to give back to the Trinity community to make another boy’s dream come true. –Mason Sullivan ’13 Alumni Breakfast at Trinity Dr. Rob Mullen will be hosting a complimentary breakfast for Trinity alumni the remainder of the school year.

Rear Adm. Stewart O’Bryan ’72 reflects on Naval career, Trinity days

The Leader caught up with Trinity High School’s highest- ranking military officer – United States Navy Rear Adm. M. Stewart O’Bryan, Trinity Class of 1972 – after he had relieved Commander, Carrier Strike Group 3 (CCSG 3) Rear Adm. Kevin Quinn during a change-of-command ceremony held aboard the USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) on Sept. 26, 2007. Since then, O’Bryan went on to be Director, Navy Maritime Domain Awareness, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations in Washington, D.C., and was Commander, Navy Air and Missile Defense Command, Dahlgren, Va., from January 2010 to May 2012. Alumni News Alumni O’Bryan retired from U.S. Navy on May 31, 2012, after 34 years of distinguished service. During his retirement ceremony, O’Bryan received several awards, including the Distinguished Service Medal. The citation noted that his “exceptional leadership was responsible for conceiving, advocating and establishing the Navy’s Warfare Center of Excellence dedicated to Air and Missile Defense.” The Distinguished Service Medal is the highest non-valorous military decoration in the U.S. military. The Leader interviewed O’Bryan for this issue.

TL (The Leader): What were your Trinity days like and what led you to the Navy?

O’Bryan: My Trinity High School experiences set the tone and pace, and prepared me very well for attending the University of Louisville, my Navy career and life in general. Trinity offered a wide range of courses and helped me to develop study skills that carried over to college. Trinity and the teachers taught me the art of leveling my class schedules, taking into account the degree of difficulty and time necessary for each class. Trinity showed me the value of good sportsmanship and respect for others. Additionally, Trinity provided a venue to start new friendships that have lasted through college, 34 years in the Navy and remain strong today. The Navy offered me tremendous opportunity: an opportunity to follow in my dad’s footsteps (a U of L graduate and retiring after 22 years in the Navy) and an opportunity to travel and see the world, albeit not on a luxury cruise ship. During my college years, Navy ROTC covered uniforms, books and a small stipend, and offered the opportunity for friendships with others in the NROTC unit. A Navy or, for that matter, a military career, is not for everyone; there is a lot of family separation, you give up many of your personal freedoms to protect freedoms of others, a rigorous daily routine, many moves and re-locations, not much pay and the risks and dangers that come with deployments. But there are also many rewards that come with a military career. I enjoyed my time at U of L and am very thankful for the opportunity to serve my country in the U.S. Navy.

TL: You were commissioned in 1978. What was your first duty assignment and what led you up the ranks to admiral?

O’Bryan: My first assignment in the Navy was aboard the USS Saratoga (CV 60), an aircraft carrier stationed in Mayport, Fla., as a Division Officer in the Engineering Department. I remained on the Saratoga for three years, leading a division of 100 sailors. It was there that I learned to respect every sailor and make each and every one of them my priority. I also had great mentors that expressed the need for attention to detail and quality performance. These first lessons served me well to the ranks of Navy senior leadership.

Class of 2017 arrives for the Placement Test to begin their march to being Brothers for Life MORE THAN 400 students sat for the December and January Placement Tests at Trinity. While Principal Daniel Zoeller H’07 welcomed each of the young men to Trinity as they gathered in Alumni Hall, school officials met with their parents in the Convocation Hall to answer their questions about the admissions process and welcome them to the Trinity Family. The Placement Test is a standardized test given to thousands of eighth-grade students each year. The results of the test are one of three ways Trinity determines the best schedule of classes for each student. Feedback from the student’s current teachers and input from his family are also considered in the placement process. Director of School Advancement Mr. Joe Porter ’78 remarked, “It was such a blessing to speak to the wonderful parents of this fine group of young men, many of them beginning their first experience of high school with their sons. What a journey it will be for them!” This group of incoming freshmen continues a remarkable string of Placement Test successes. This marks the eighth consecutive year that more than 400 students have sat for the Placement Test and the 11th year out of the past dozen. Trinity President Dr. Rob Mullen ’77 remarked, “Having worked here for years and after seeing three of my Campus News children move through high school, I get very emotional on the day of the test. I think of all the stories that must be walking through our doors. I think of all the experiences – good ones and challenging ones – that await these young boys. It is a privilege to be able to work with high school students. These young Shamrocks have no clue as to how fast the next four years will go and how wonderful these years will be.” These new members of Trinity’s next freshman class are entering at a very exciting time. The new daily schedule is already producing incredible positive results and increased access to technology will make their four years filled with learning, growing and friendships.

Pride. Loyalty. Discipline. Achievement. Pride. Loyalty. Discipline. Achievement. The Motz Group, a Cincinnati, Ohio, company renowned for their athletic playing surface installations, spent December and January replacing the artificial turf in Marshall Stadium. The current surface was installed in the summer of 2005. After extensive use, it was time to remove the old and bring in the new.

Shamrock Sports Shamrock According to Trinity President Dr. Rob Mullen ’77, “These surfaces usually last from eight to 10 years. Installations at high schools start needing replacement at the eight-year mark because of heavy use when compared to a venue like a college stadium.” The turf has hosted college lacrosse matches, grade school athletic championships, flag football contests among girls’ high schools and numerous community events. It has been home to freshman, junior varsity and varsity soccer, football and lacrosse practices and games. Intramurals and school events have used the surface. The playing surface also has been used in numerous commercials, both for the school and others who thought it would make a good backdrop. The Motz Group won the job after an extensive bidding process that involved four different firms and visits to other schools. The Motz Group is an industry leader. Some of their notable stadium projects include the Cincinnati Reds’ Great American Ballpark and the home of the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Previously named an All-American, the Notre Dame signee now adds Gatorade Kentucky Player of the Year to his resume. Most importantly, Hubbard has remained grounded. From the Gatorade press release: “Hubbard has maintained a 3.86 GPA in the classroom. The senior class president at Trinity, he has volunteered locally as a peer tutor and as a school ambassador. He has also donated his time as part of a fundraising campaign to benefit African clean water initiatives.” The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Hubbard as Kentucky’s best high school boys soccer player. Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Boys Soccer Player of the Year award to be announced in May, Hubbard joins an elite alumni association of past state award-winners in 12 sports. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound senior goalkeeper recorded 16 shutouts and allowed eight goals this past season, leading the Shamrocks (20-2-1) to the Seventh Region Tournament final. A first team All-State selection by the Kentucky High School Soccer Coaches Association, Hubbard participated in the High School Soccer All-American Game in Birmingham, Ala., in December. He concluded his prep soccer career with 50 shutouts. The Gatorade Player of the Year program annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states that sanction high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls track and field, and awards one National Player of the Year in each sport. The selection process is administered by the Gatorade high school sports leadership team in partnership with USA TODAY High School Sports, which work with top sport-specific experts and a media advisory board of accomplished, veteran prep sports journalists to determine the state winners in each sport.

Chad Waggoner named president of KTCCA When Trinity Social Studies teacher and head cross country coach Chad Waggoner became the president-elect for the Kentucky Track and Cross Country Coaches Association (KTCCA) earlier this school year, he quickly partnered with Angela Passifume, commissioner of cross country for the state, to make sure all runners on the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) state roster at the state meet of a podium-finishing team received their medal. (Originally, the state had announced that they were not going to recognize all of the athletes.) Waggoner and Passifume have met several times since then, and she subsequently appointed Waggoner to the KHSAA Cross Country Advisory Committee to be a representative for the KTCCCA in his role of president-elect and soon to be president. Upon hearing Waggoner’s report to the state coaches association at its meeting last weekend, the coach from Oldham County made a motion to change the organization’s constitution to allow the office of president to go from a one-year term to a three-year term, as well as the opportunity to serve additional terms – and further, that this change would start with Waggoner’s term as president. The motion was passed unanimously, and Coach Waggoner has agreed to serve the extended term. Pride. Loyalty. Discipline. Achievement. Pride. Loyalty. Discipline. Achievement. “I consider this not only an honor for me but truly a great reflection of the coaching staff and administration at Trinity,” Waggoner said. “I want to thank you for your support and would like to recognize the talents of Coaches Kannapel, Amick, Felts and Luken, who lead our guys with passion and more importantly a Christian mission.

James Quick ’13 named Gatorade Kentucky Player of the Year, Paul Hornung Award winner, Kentucky Mr. Football Trinity senior wide receiver and University of Louisville signee James Quick had a banner year on the football field. Quick was named the Gatorade Kentucky Player of the Year. He became the state’s all-time leading receiver earlier this past season. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound senior had 85 catches for 1,416 yards and 16 touchdowns. Quick has 280 career receptions, surpassing the previous state record of 266 set by Male’s Montrell Jones from 1997-2000. He ranks third on the state’s career list in receiving yards (4,437) and touchdown receptions (57). Additionally, Quick was named the winner of the 20th annual Paul Hornung Award on Dec. 13, 2012, presented to Kentucky’s top high school football player by the Louisville Quarterback Club. As well, Quick was named Kentucky’s Mr. Football by members of the Associated Press. Quick is the third Shamrock to win Mr. Football honors; Jeff Brohm ’89 (1988) and Brian Brohm ’04 (2003) also were named Mr. Football.

Football – 3-peat! State champs!

The Football Rocks celebrate Trinity’s 22nd state championship. PHOTO BY F. SCOTT SCINTA ’77 Pleasure Ridge Park, Trinity’s opponent in the Class 6-A state championship game on Dec. 1, 2012, at Houchens Industries/L.T. Smith Stadium at Western Kentucky University, entered the game on a roll. The ninth-ranked Panthers were undefeated and averaging nearly 50 points a game. But the Panthers rolled into a Rock wall. The Shamrocks dominated the game, winning by a score of 61-7 to capture their third consecutive state title, 10th in 12 years and 22nd overall, tying Class 5-A Fort Thomas Highlands for the most in state history. Trinity jumped to a 27-7 lead near the end of the second quarter. The Panthers would get no closer, as the Rock defense was stifling. The Rocks’ offense put up at least 60 points for the second consecutive year in the state final as five different players found the end zone. It was a great win and satisfying ending to one of the more impressive seasons in recent history. Trinity came from behind to win in the fourth quarter four times and trailed in all but four games. In the last three years, this senior class has been part of teams that have suffered only two defeats by a total of 10 points and helped earn the school its first national title in 2011. The Rocks ended the season with a 13-1 record.

Ice Hockey – Rocks fall in state final After winning 10-0 and 5-4 in the state tournament, Trinity advanced to the state final to face Oldham County. The Ice Rocks put up a courageous fight but fell by a score of 2-1 on March 3 at Iceland. Head Coach Mark Gustafson had the Rocks ready, but they fell behind 1-0 barely into the first period as an Oldham player scored in the open. The teams traded blows during the remainder of the period, and the score remained 1-0 until the Rocks tied the game at 1-1 with only five minutes left to play. It looked like the game would head to overtime again (the Rocks won their semifinal game in OT), but with 1:40 to play, the Colonels scored to make it 2-1. Oldham County held onto their lead despite a Trinity power play to end the game. Thanks to the super fans who made it to the match, and congratulations to the Ice Rocks on a great season. 45 leadermagazine FOR ALUMNI AND FAMILY OF TRINITY HIGH SCHOOL

SPRING SPORTS REVIEW

Baseball The Baseball Rocks return six starters from last year’s team and have a good chance to compete for a regional title. Senior Connor Hill is a three-year starter and returns at shortstop. Tyler Marshall, Bobby Graven and Trey Wright are all seniors who started as juniors. Marshall is coming off of knee surgery after the football season but should be ready for action by the first week of April. Additionally, Sean Dageforde and Brady Pfaadt return for their junior seasons. Both started as sophomores and made the All-District team. “We should have a really good team this season,” skipper Steven Tompkins ’81 said. “Our schedule is another strong one, and we play in arguably the toughest region in the state. Our seniors are poised and excited to lead this team. It always comes down to who is pitching well and playing good defense at the right time. Our schedule will prepare us for tournament time.”

Tennis The Tennis Rocks have solid potential for a fourth consecutive Seventh Region title and are ranked No. 2 in the state’s preseason coaches’ poll. “We will be taking nothing for granted,” head coach Chris Mather ’86 said. “Practices will take on a new degree of intensity, structure and focus. We must demonstrate measurable improvement in our team’s performance each month Those are the expectations. And, we intend to meet those goals by fostering a positive work ethic of the individual tennis player to contribute toward team success.” Key returning players include seniors Emerson Walsh, Randy Strause, Tanner Love, Chris Deam and Bryce Liston, and sophomores Mustafa Gardezi and Austin Strause. “If we stay healthy, work cohesively and never accept any mediocre effort, regardless of opposition, Coach (Paul) Vale (’86) and me are more optimistic than any year in recent memory for the Tennis Rocks to make a solid run for the state title.”

Track & Field According to first-year head coach Scott Holzknecht ’97, if everyone can stay healthy, Trinity should compete for a state title. The Rocks finished 2012 with a second-place finish at the regional meet and third at state. Senior state champ James Quick, the current state record holder in the 200 meters, is a three-time state champ in that event. He also was runner-up in last year’s 100 meters. “James (Quick) will be running in everything we can put him in,” Holzknecht said. “We are returning all members of last season’s sprint relays.” Junior Nick Eckert returns to the 1,600 meters, where he finished third in 2012. Additionally, junior Blake Merkley returns in the 800 meters event and junior Cody Swabek returns in the long jump and high jump. “We have excellent sprinters and can score points in distance, throws and jumps,” Holzknecht said. “But anything can happen at the state meet.”
