Page 2 From the Desk of the Dean Why Catholic Education?

Trinity Junior High and High School Dean of Students, Father Kregg Hochhalter, sat down with a Dickinson Catholic Schools’ parent and student to gain some insight into why they believe in Catholic education. Kelly is a parent and alumna of Dickinson Catholic Schools. She has three children in the school system and is a 1985 graduate from Trinity High School. Phil is a senior at Trinity Junior High and High school. After spending twelve years in the school system, Phil will graduate in May and then begin his undergraduate studies at Bismarck State college.

Kelly: I want my kids to attend school Why private, Catholic education? at Trinity because I want them to have an education where God can be a part of their daily, school life.

Phil: It’s a great privilege to enjoy Catholic education...praying over the intercom every morning is a good way to start class every day.

What has Trinity given you that you wouldn’t have found in other places?

Kelly: The family atmosphere and close-knit attitude of the parents, teachers, and students...it just seems like we all know each other to the extent of seeing one another as family.

Phil: When I took Fr. Hochhalter’s class, I noticed how it was preparing me to defend the Faith in the real world.

What do you tell other parents about Dickinson Catholic Schools?

Phil: At Trinity you learn Faith and morals you wouldn’t learn in other schools...it’s incredibly important that this happens for our generation.

Kelly: Do not let the tuition scare you...anyone can find the means to fund a private education...the fear can be taken away.

What are you most proud about at Trinity High School?

Kelly: When our children come together to worship, not only is it impressive, but it gives to all those who take part a sentiment of God. Even starting each basketball game or football game with a simple prayer offers the same feeling...

Phil: The experience of success and friendships at boys basketball regional championships...you feel close to everyone in the school. It is an incredible feeling.

The chapel of our school must be central as well,” said Glasser. The new chapel will have a seating capacity of 350 people, large enough for an all-school liturgy.

We have to keep remembering, though, that we also need to provide the best education we can for our students today.” Educating the whole student – mind, body, and soul: this is today’s guiding path, the mission, of Dickinson Catholic Schools and it is the light, the mission, illuminating her future.

Page 9 There may be no busier place than the Knights of Columbus Activities Center during the winter sports season, and the Trinity basketball teams are off and running with positive momentum heading into the heart of their region schedules. In December, Coach Gregg Grinsteinner and the Titan boys claimed the Roughrider tournament championship with victories over Glen Ullin-Hebron, Heart River and New England. On January 6, the boys opened Region 7 play with a hard- fought 61-58 victory at home over state-ranked and previously unbeaten Hettinger-Scranton. The Titans are 4-4 at the time of this writing, with four narrow losses all coming to teams that have received votes in the North Dakota Sportscaster’s TopTen at some point in the year. Seniors Connor Friske, Joe Mayer, Brett Mortenson, Sam Sherer, Jon Volk and Cole Wilhelmi lead the 2014-2015 Titans. Meanwhile, the Titan girls have rebounded from a 44-39 season opening loss to state- ranked Parshall to begin their year at 7-2 overall at the time of this writing. The Titans began Region 7 play at 2-0 with home victories over Hazen and Killdeer. Another highlight for the girls was a 54-41 victory in their December 13 home opener over previously unbeaten and #2 ranked Bismarck Shiloh Christian. Coach Carter Fong’s roster includes just one senior this year in Emily Spradley. Trinity seniors Ryan Fahy (swimming), Jill Mueller (gymnastics) and Matt Pavek (hockey) help lead their respective teams in winter co- op sports with Dickinson High School. Mueller and the Dickinson High gymnasts are looking to defend their 2014 state championship. Finally, the fall sports season ended with several Titan athletes receiving year-end awards. Katie Dockter and Kennedy Keator were named to the All-Region 7 Volleyball Team. The AA Football All-State Team included WR Joe Mayer on the first team, while Willy Jahner, Coltyn Nelson and Jacob Brooke received second-team nominations. The same quartet was also named All-Conference in the West Region, with honorable mention awards also going to Hunter Praus, Easton Brost, Jaret Lee and Zach Kubas.
