A Hearty Hello to All Our Good Friends,Each school year amazes me. Bring together stimulating students and outstanding faculty

engaged in a traditional, classical curriculum, add supportive parents and selfless SchoolBoard Members, and you have a terrific recipe for creating leaders. Leaders do start here!

The current class of 2009 saw 40 members, fresh from the Covington Latin School pro-gram, ready to take on the world and its challenges. Ever talented, this class received scholar-ship offers totaling more than 6.5 million dollars. They are heading off to institutions ofhigher learning as varied as Thomas More College, the University of Chicago, the Universityof Notre Dame, the College of Wooster and the Saint Louis University. They are leaders.

Two National Merit Finalists were produced, ACT scores were raised, and honors weregarnered across many fields. Whether it was again winning the Latin trophy for first place instate or winning first in a track event in state competition, our students share their talentsboth far and wide. They produced the musical, West Side Story; they took second place in anational Philosophy Slam competition; they have captured National Finalist status in theDoodle 4 Google contest; they have captured first place in girls’ basketball; they have wonnumerous writing awards in the Northern Kentucky writing contests; and they have beenelected state officers in the Junior Classical League of Kentucky. They are leaders.

Near and far, our students continue to support the community through collections,dances, penny wars, dress down days, etc. They continue to support our mission in Africa;they support the Cinderella’s Closet program; they sponsor the local cold shelter; they con-tribute to the DPAA; and they assist our ACUE schools. They are leaders.

Our students know what they have been called to be. They know the legacy they are con-tinuing on a daily basis. They know what is expected of them. They have answered the call.Leaders do start here!

I cannot stress enough how your support of the school allows us to do what we are called todo: create leaders for the 21st century. So many of you contribute annually to our AcademicAdvancement Fund; others of you provide service to the school through your time and service.Regardless, what is important is that you lead. You help build the future by assisting us with edu-cating students in our program. Because of you, our students have the opportunity to developtheir skills and talents. They are fully aware of the sacrifices you make to advance their education.Rest assured that you are remembered in our prayers at Mass and other community assemblies ofprayer. We cannot do it without YOU! On their behalf, I thank you.

We ask for your continued support and prayers. You are a tremendous source of encour-agement in maintaining our special Catholic education.

May God continue to bless all of you!
