A Letter from the Rector Rev. Joseph P. Capella
“
We must first be willing to step out into what is different in order to offer our students a world view that is unique.
Dear CCHS Community, Greetings and Blessings to everyone! In this issue of our magazine, we explore the “why” of Camden Catholic by faculty, staff, students, families and alumni. Perhaps there have been many times throughout this past year when we’ve all asked “why” for many reasons. Why me/us? Why this? Why now? These “why” moments may have come from frustration, however we would like to invite you to join us in asking “why.” Why has CCHS been (and continues to be) an outstanding community for the formation and education of students throughout South Jersey? You will see that the response to this question is as varied as are the individuals who answered it. One of the “whys” I’d like to address with you is why we are beginning the various new initiatives which we are for this coming academic year. Firstly, please be on the lookout for a number of communications that will be coming your way explaining what is being done as well as why it is happening. These communications will contain much exciting and important information for you and your student. Next, the why. Since its foundation in 1887, CCHS has been imaginative, creative and innovative in our approach to the formation and education of youth. We are the only diocesan high school that was started by religious women and men: the Sisters of Mercy and the Holy Cross Brothers. Throughout the years, our faculty and school governance has led the way in pedagogy and formation of the entire student. Even to this day, for example, there are many exclusives that occur only at CCHS. For example, we are the only high school where students develop and facilitate an extensive list of retreats from which a student may choose. We are the only school that meets weekly for school wide convocation so that students can hear from their peers and all of us learn from various other speakers about faith, virtues, accomplishments from CCHS alumni, and much more. There are several other exclusives that form the imaginative, creative and innovative approach to teaching, learning and formation to be found only at CCHS. I invite you to learn about and investigate them as they develop. But back to the why of these initiatives. CCHS has always understood that our school is first and foremost a ministry of the Catholic Christian Church and therefore an action of our God who is imaginative, creative and innovative. Therefore, we follow Christ only so that we can humbly lead men and women to Godly ways of living. We do this by example which means that we must first be willing to step out into what is different in order to offer our students a world view that is unique. They cannot reach their unique, God-given potential by always following the ways of the world. St. Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 5:7 that “we are created for new life in Christ.” Why are we doing what we’re doing for and in our school? Because God has done what God has done for and within each of us who teach, minister, learn and serve. This has always been and will always be a part of the imaginative, creative and innovative nature of our God because…God is good, all the time and all the time, God is good (to CCHS). God Bless, Go Irish and please enjoy this copy of the CCHS Magazine. Peace,
Fr. Joseph P. Capella Rector

A Letter from the Board Chair Jack Wixted ’72
Dear Camden Catholic Community, It was with great honor but with some trepidation that I assumed the role of Board Chair in June 2020. After all, who wouldn’t be a bit anxious amid the uncertainty we all experienced? As a Board of Trustees, we knew we were facing great challenges for the upcoming school year, but with the unwavering leadership of our Rector, Father Joseph Capella, President, Mary Whipkey and Principal, Heather Crisci, and our talented faculty, we were confident that Camden Catholic could navigate significant obstacles to continue to deliver a high quality education founded in our deep Catholic identity. We are especially grateful for the unwavering support and guidance of the Diocese of Camden and His Excellency Bishop Sullivan and Superintendent, Dr. Bill Watson. The CCHS Board could not be prouder of the accomplishments of the administration, faculty, and students in modifying and implementing a new learning model throughout the 2020-2021 school year. For 134 years, generations of Camden Catholic alumni have become leaders in their professions, communities and in their parishes throughout the world. To continue this legacy, and as Camden Catholic looks to the future, we have reinvigorated our Strategic Plan. Our new mission statement reads: “Educating diverse learners since 1887, Camden Catholic develops tomorrow’s innovative leaders steeped in the Catholic tradition of mercy.” In adopting the Strategic Plan we look forward to the enhancement of a curriculum that fosters innovative learning by providing access to state-ofthe-art technology in the classroom – not just for the sake of having technology, but to integrate it into lessons in order to provide students with the best possible opportunities, including incorporating innovative concepts related to Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts and Math (STREAM). The Camden Catholic Board of Trustees is comprised of talented, generous and committed members of the CCHS community. I would like to especially recognize and thank Nancy Singer ’76 and Bill Barker ‘67 who will step down from the Board this year. Nancy previously served as a member of the Board of Trustees of CCHS for many years and more recently returned to become the first chairperson of the Risk Management Committee which was created during her tenure and with her guidance. Bill has served on the Board for the past several years and has contributed his business acumen and support, especially to our Building and Grounds Committee in maintaining and enhancing Camden Catholic’s 60-year-old physical plant. The Board expresses its gratitude and sincere appreciation to Nancy and Bill for all the time, effort, and insight that they have provided to CCHS in their positions as Trustees. I also extend a hearty welcome to our newly appointed trustees, Charlie Grandi ’69 and Carlos Morales ’91 who will contribute their significant talents to the betterment of the school.
“
Educating diverse learners since 1887, Camden Catholic develops tomorrow’s innovative leaders steeped in the Catholic tradition of mercy
The Board of Trustees is very grateful and appreciative of the generous support of the Camden Catholic community of alumni and friends throughout this pandemic journey and we trust that we are nearing the end of uncertain times. Please keep Camden Catholic in your prayers. Our hope and faith will guide us through the next few months as we look forward to the entire student body being together in person at school in our Catholic learning community for the upcoming school year. GO IRISH!
Jack Wixted ’72 Chairman, Board of Trustees

CLASS OF 2021 Historic in More Ways Than One
On June 4, 2021, Camden Catholic graduated 175 seniors who have undeniably had one of the most historic high school careers since CCHS was founded in 1887. Despite the hand they were dealt, these students excelled in not only their studies and extracurricular activities, but in many intangible ways as well. Thankfully, they were able to conclude their Irish Experience with many of the traditions that make CCHS so special, senior awards, prom, baccalaureate and graduation, but leave it to the Class of 2021 to put their own spin on things. Last day of classes slip ‘n slide in the courtyard? Check. Prom on a Battleship? Check. Live band at the Senior Breakfast? Check. Hosting Baccalaureate and Graduation in torrential downpour and moving it from Shamrock Field to Tom Kenney Gymnasium? Check. Hacking into the CCHS Instagram account for one final goodbye photo? Check.
Congratulations, Class of 2021! You most certainly are Irish legends.

Taylor Gardner University of North Carolina (Asheville), Biochemistry Major During her time at CCHS Taylor has been mentored by Dr. An Nguyen, who has helped her explore the many ways that one can make an impact through science. Dr. Nguyen mentored Taylor through her senior project of making a 3D bioprinter. Bioprinting is a versatile and powerful method in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine and is increasingly adapted by other disciplines due to its tremendous potential beyond its typical applications. In order to even begin the project, Taylor first had to raise the funds to purchase the materials. She did this by creating a fundraiser and using Dr. Nguyen's 3D printer, they printed and laserengraved custom Christmas ornaments for the faculty and students at CCHS. “We raised more than two-times my original goal,” says Taylor. “We were able to order a printer, and my project was finally tangible. Our goal was made clear at this point as we decided that we wanted to replace the PLA extruder on the printer with a syringe pump so that we could print hydrogel. Moving forward, I hope to formulate a hydrogel at the right viscosity and concentration so that the printer can extrude it successfully. I am currently working toward designing a syringe pump and reprogramming the existing system to control it.” As an All-South Jersey soccer recruit, Taylor also earned a scholarship to University of North Carolina-Asheville, where she will play for the Division I Bulldogs while earning a degree in biochemistry. Taylor was accepted into the Honors College at UNC. Following college she hopes to attend graduate school and conduct research to eventually earn her PhD in the field.
Aeden Rosolia Rutgers University (New Brunswick), Environmental Engineering Major Aeden’s goal is simply to “work to build a more safe and healthy environment.” At CCHS he engrossed himself in his senior project “Clean Water Solutions.” Aeden says, “Water is the one thing that connects all of us on earth. Although bodies of water separate us, water also acts as a bridge between each human being.” Aeden researched the many ways in which water becomes polluted, and possible solutions for improving this problem. “Water can become unusable through exposure to discarded waste, industrialization, and oil spills. All of these man-made consequences hurt ecosystems, which could affect universal health because from these water sources we draw our recreational water,” he says. “Although water treatment plants are sufficient, there are still problems that arise, and there are still solutions to be explored. Using the fundamental principles of environmental engineering, we can begin to search for answers through a scientific lens.” Beyond majoring in environmental engineering Aeden plans to also possibly study public health/urban planning and/or music at Rutgers.

Justin Seo Rutgers University (New Brunswick), Neuroscience Major Justin Seo’s impact on the Camden Catholic community has been felt far and wide during his four years here. From serving on the altar to making a difference on T.H.E. Council, to being a Student Government leader and a model student, Justin has embraced so many facets of life at CCHS, and flourished through his participation. As a leader of the student diversity group T.H.E. Council, Justin produced “Uncomfortable Conversations,” a video series in which various “uncomfortable” topics on culture, race and identity were discussed with CCHS alumni, current and former teachers, students and well-known politicians, including NJ state senator Andy Kim. “In honor of May being Asian-Pacific Islander month, I had a conversation with Congressman Andy Kim to talk about his cultural Korean-American upbringing in America, how he developed his love and passion for public service since high school, and how he and his colleagues at Capitol Hill are combatting the racial pandemic against the AAPI community,” said Justin. “He gave information on certain legislation and feats that were accomplished in Congress shortly after this year’s spa shootings in Atlanta, Georgia, and also offered advice to the CCHS community moving forward to combat racism and to show more compassion and love for the AAPI community.” Justin was accepted to the Honors College at Rutgers University, chosen as one of the top 500 students to be a part of this group in the class of 2025. He is majoring in neuroscience on a pre-med track.
Quan Ha Barnard College, Neuroscience Major Quan is an incredible member of the class of 2021, who’s gifts of knowledge, insatiable curiosity and dedication to research will help the world in many ways in the years to come. For her senior project, Quan researched Urbanization & Birds: A Simulation. Through this project, not only did Quan delve into the topics of evolution, birds striving to survive in an urban environment, and how these urban environments evolve, but she also taught herself how to code in order to create a simulation that would illustrate her research. “Through this project, I realized the extent to which I am willing to push myself to reach a goal,” says Quan. “And it also makes me appreciate the many websites and video games which use code, because know I know firsthand what is involved in the process.”

Student Government Archives Covid Memories
Throughout the “pandemic year,” CCHS Student Government knew that as high school students they were living through a historic time which should be recorded. So, they set out to interview students and faculty to be sure that the memories from the very first day of quarantine, through an entirely new type of school year, were documented for future generations. The “Life at Camden Catholic during COVID-19” archive project was produced under the leadership of Student Government members and moderator Ms. Ann Clinton, Vice Principal of Student
Services. It includes written student testimonials, photos which capture life at CCHS during the pandemic, artifacts that help to illustrate school life during this time, and COVID-19 vocabulary (words and phrases which had not previously been used at CCHS prior to March 2020).

She has also spent time as adjunct professor at Camden County College in addition to teaching art courses at her studio. We wish Ms. Sabato the very best as she enjoys life after CCHS!
Inspired by Camden Catholic’s foundation in the Mercy tradition, our students continue to serve others and God, as they have for over 130 years. Each year our service looks different as our students find ways to express the call to serve in their own unique ways, as depicted here. Despite the challenges of finding ways to provide service to others during a pandemic year, Camden Catholic students were led by Mrs. Jennifer LaRosa ‘88 to step forward in a time of incredible need for our community. Students were active in service most often to the Cathedral Kitchen, Guadalupe Family Services, Joseph’s House, Ronald McDonald House, Sisters of Saint Joseph Neighborhood Center, St. Vincent DePaul Society, Box of Joy, Cross Catholic Outreach, Love for Our Elders, Arc of Camden County and the Cherry Hill Food Pantry. Thank you to all of the alumni who joined us in serving particularly during the Irish Express weekly collections for the Cathedral Kitchen and Guadalupe Family Services. As Mother Catherine McAuley professed: “We can never say ‘it is enough.’”

S.T. E.M. INNOVATING SINCE 1887
As a major aspect of the recently unveiled Strategic Plan 2021-2025, Camden Catholic is launching a STEM initiative which will continue to evolve our educational offerings, faculty mindset and graduate profile. “Camden Catholic High School is dedicated to the promotion of STEM skills and practices as a way to spark a philosophical change in both teaching and learning,” says Angelo Milicia, Director of Academic Innovation, who will oversee this new initiative. “The Camden Catholic STEM mindset will guide students to become leaders who solve problems and find success in future careers.”
WHAT’S DOES “STEM MINDSET” MEAN? It means a new way of community teaching, learning and problem solving. “Design Process” is the foundation of this STEM mindset that administration and faculty will be spearheading this year. STEM is not new to CCHS! Neither is critical thinking or collaborative study. What is new is the way that all faculty and students will be approaching their subjects, and the output of work which will result from this common Design Process, and the innovative experiences provided by new classes, trips and clubs which will help broaden our students’ mindset.
Mr. Milicia comes to Camden Catholic after a 22-year career in Catholic education, which includes 16 years as a Science Instructor and seven years in administrative roles ranging from Director of Institutional Advancement to Head of School. Mr. Milicia most recently served as Advancement Director at Norwood-Fontbonne Academy in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia.

A VEX Robotics Competition area is also being constructed. Dr. Nguyen, Robotics Director and STEM Mentor, has led the construction of this new space, as well as the implementation of Camden Catholic’s first Robotics class and club this year. “The Innovation Lab will have a 3D printer (currently being built by Taylor Gardner ‘21 and Justin Seo ‘21) and a vinyl cutter, along with some power tools like a belt sander and band saw (for cutting aluminum parts for robot construction). I have plans to use both the 3D printer and vinyl cutter with Robotics, which will be a course (capped at 16 students) and an after school club (additional 4 students for a total of 20). I hope that in the future, we will get more 3D printers and tools and have the space used by different classes to create all kinds of things,” says Dr. Nguyen.

Why do students choose CCHS? Why do alumni donate? Why does our faculty stay committed? And, why will Camden Catholic evolve its education in 2021?
By Donna Maccherone, English Faculty
n a section of the wall in the hallway that leads from the Pisa Dining Hall to the Grandi Auditorium is a mural that showcases the one-word question Why? In September of 2017, inspired by the passionate motivational speaker and author Simon Sinek and his book Start With Why, President Mary Whipkey posed the question to students and teachers: “Why are you here?” When someone responded that CCHS is an extraordinary school, she asked for just one or two words that distill and clarify what makes the place extraordinary. Then she sent a questionnaire to the larger Camden Catholic community and had the responses painted on the wall for all to see. Words and phrases such as vision, faith-based, everyone belongs, love of learning, diverse, academic rigor and people care blazon forth as a testament to fulfillment of the school’s purpose.
As a follow-up this year, we interviewed a number of students, faculty, and alumni, focusing each conversation on each individual’s personal sense of the why, from the insights of “Why I teach at Camden Catholic,” “Why I am prepared to graduate,” and “Why my faith has grown” to
poignant topics like “Why my class still gets together after 64 years” and “Why, having graduated in 1942 and 1936, we remember our time at CCHS as our golden years.” Following are many different answers to the question Why Camden Catholic?... 15 17

can often name a teacher who SPh.D.tudents motivates them. Science teacher An Nguyen, says it is the students who motivate her.
Camden Catholic High School students and God are why she does what she does, and Dr. Nguyen does so much so well. Approaching her fourth year at CCHS, Dr. Nguyen teaches AP and college prep biology as well as AP and college prep chemistry. She loves her subject matter but she especially loves fostering curiosity in students. When Taylor Gardner ’21 asked Dr. Nguyen about creating a 3D printer from a 3D printer as her final research project, it was game on. Dr. Nguyen had mentored senior design projects at Drexel University and The College of New Jersey (she had been on the faculties of those universities) and saw a lot of potential in the CCHS research project. After many attempts, a few detours, mechanical problems and cost issues, student and teacher had to switch gears on the project, but the lessons were so valuable. “We ended up purchasing a kit and Taylor put the printer together by herself,” says Dr. Nguyen. “I think Taylor would agree with me that the most valuable part of the project was that she no longer feared failure.” They joked about looking forward to the next “failure” because of how much they would learn from it. Dr. Nguyen continues, “[Taylor] is such a hard worker… coupled with a growth mindset, she will be unstoppable.” For another student project, Dr. Nguyen half-jokes that she “tricked” Quan Ha ’21, who was doing research on evolution, into teaching herself programming. “I love teaching with simulations and thought it would be much more valuable if [Quan] could build a simulation to teach others about her findings,” explains An. She concedes that a paper would have taken “an exceptionally intelligent student like Quan” much less time than the project, but Quan “did it with such grace.” Dr. Nguyen says she intended to learn JavaScript with Quan but within a week the student had taught herself as much or more that her teacher knew, and her teacher was thrilled. 16
Dr. Nguyen’s love of teaching is matched by her fascination of how science and religion intersect. One among many examples of her thinking is this: “When I started teaching biomaterials at TCNJ, I remember discussing biological materials and how skin and bone are made with mostly the same substances, but because of how those substances are put together, completely different mechanical properties arise. I remember examining a crosssectional image of bone and seeing how the solid portion of the bone exactly matched where the stresses are greatest. I remember researching human attempts to recreate vision and learning how complicated it is. How intricately God created each of us! Even the smartest scientists with the most resources cannot hope to replicate what God has so strategically made.” It is no wonder that Dr. Nguyen is spearheading the nascent Robotics Club. In this endeavor she makes another connection to faith. One of her many reasons for pursuing a doctorate in biomedical engineering was to design smart prosthetics that could be controlled by thought. “My career path took a few unexpected turns, but I always followed where I believed God was leading me,” she says. Her goal for the robotics
program is to make it to state or even world competition. Again, her focus is on CCHS students, as she says, “Robotics will give me an opportunity to instill a growth mindset into students and help them become truly influential in the future.” Hard work is tempered by fun and Dr. Nguyen shares a love of it with her students. An attempt at post AP biology exam stress relief found her sitting on the floor of her classroom playing Bananagrams with deserving students. After school hours it’s badminton with the club she started her first year at Camden Catholic. She played the game at Drexel both as an undergrad and in graduate school, and she competed nationally. It is a club, she says, that fosters connections between students with medical issues who couldn’t play other sports, international students who had played back home, and other students who never considered themselves athletic enough to play a varsity sport. Recognizing the connection, Dr. Nguyen says, “This is just one of the many, many ways God has worked in my life. Something as simple as starting up a club for myself and some interested students became something much more.”

MARY GARDNER, 2020 GRADUATE WHY I AM INSPIRED BY THE MISSION OF MERCY
ary Gardener ’20 graduated from Camden M Catholic last year and was heading to The Catholic University of America to continue her
educational journey. Disappointed by the University’s Covid-19 restrictions, Mary decided on a gap year. Her gap year, though, would not involve earning extra money or taking Zoom classes. Instead Mary spent the year in Indiana at the White Violet Center for Eco-Justice, a nonprofit education center run by the Sisters of Providence. There Mary learned about organic farming, spiritual ecology and social justice. Mary attests that her faith foundation at CCHS prepared her for this pivot. “A gap year of any kind was not the plan I and my parents had for me,” she says, “and I am not spontaneous by nature.” However, Mary goes on to say, “It always seemed that Camden Catholic was preparing you for something greater out there, and at the same time there was the message that CCHS will still be here for you.” The required service component and attendance
at school masses also made Mary’s post-high school choice of a year serving others and deepening her faith an obvious one. She is honest when she says that although she sometimes did service work in high school to “fill the required hours,” the overall experience had the much greater affect of making her “recognize people’s needs” and that the need to do service was so embedded in her that to take a gap year of service was a natural choice. As for going to mass throughout high school, Mary again is straightforward: “Maybe going in I wasn’t always in a prayerful moment, but [the auditorium] became a sacred space and the community aspect of praying together would put you there.” Another part of school masses that left a great impression on Mary was watching teachers “like Mr. Martin and others distribute communion.”
The strong sense of the Camden Catholic family also supported and continues to support Mary’s understanding of her faith. Mary is part of a large, close, Catholic family so CCHS was not for her a surrogate family but rather an extension of a faith community. “Unlike my own family, where the focus is on us, the Camden Catholic family gave me a chance to observe others, and the diversity [of the school population] gave me so many perspectives. It gave me a chance to filter my beliefs. And it made them stronger.” Having been homeschooled from fifth through eighth grade, Mary says that coming to high school could have been intimidating. The family atmosphere helped ease that anxiety. “Sometimes,” Mary says, “the Camden Catholic family aspect can be taken for granted, not because it’s not appreciated, but because it is always there.”
JESUS COLIN, CLASS OF 2023 WHY I LOVE BEING A STUDENT AT CCHS
Jesús Colín ’23 why he is a student at AthatskCamden Catholic and he will say immediately it is all about the friendly atmosphere and the
people. “Everyone here, including staff, teachers, even students, are wonderful people.” Most
compelling for Jesús is how CCHS is there to “help you reach your full potential.” He notes that “having a 3.5 GPA is not enough for [my guidance counselor] Mr. Nichols, as he wants me to strive for a 4.0.” Jesús says he feels “blessed to have a guidance counselor who wants the best” for him. He notes how “every teacher is willing to help you out on something you do not get or anything you need help with. Even if you are just having a bad day and need to talk to someone, they will be there to listen.” The way expressions of faith are woven into every school day is of utmost importance to Jesús. He says decisively that he is thankful to be at Camden Catholic where “our faith in God will never weaken. On the contrary, it will only [be]
strengthened as we pray in the morning and [throughout] the day.” The soccer team gives Jesús yet another reason to love Camden Catholic. He says it is like having a second family. He elaborates, “We are all brothers who care and want the best for each other.” The care and concern for others is the thread that runs through all of this student’s deepest feelings for the school that has given him “the best two years so far,” and Jesús says with great anticipation that he “can’t wait for the next two!” He gives his imprimatur, as only a student can, when he says, “Everything good you hear about Camden Catholic is true. I can assure you that!”

success in college. Now a graduate of the Honors Program at La Salle University with a degree in International Relations and a minor in Leadership and Global Understanding, Bianca credits her high school friends from Camden Catholic’s International Program with sparking her curiosity about other cultures and fostering an interest in foreign languages and customs. “I was on the International Link Crew and I spent a lot of time at the Naz House, [formerly a dormitory for international students],” she says. Being able to form friendships with teens from other parts of the world was a unique feature of life at CCHS. Those friendships made her want to take Mandarin in college. Her university didn’t offer it, so she selected

Russian as a course of study, in addition to Italian. Because of those choices, Bianca received a U.S. State Department Critical Language Scholarship to study Russian at Lobachevsky State University in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia in the summer of 2019. She was one of only 40 Americans (and the youngest in the cohort) chosen for the intensive language and culture study abroad program. There she won first place in a program-wide poetry reading contest. Bianca attributes her early success in the honors program at La Salle to “the rigor of the humanities courses at CCHS.” She says that having had philosophy in high school and exposure to a lot of classic literature in her English courses at Camden Catholic set her apart from some of her college classmates who had not had these courses at their schools. The skills she developed at CCHS positioned her for other successes as well, including becoming editor-in-chief of the La Salle Collegian, where she managed section editors, authored the weekly editorial, and created the
newspaper’s website, which brought hundreds of weekly views. Another significant dimension to her high school years at Camden Catholic, Bianca says, was the “intimate setting.” The comfort of a relatively small school allowed her to know her teachers and administrators well, which enhanced her selfconfidence. “When I got to college, I knew how to talk to professors and how to advocate for myself,” which she says, “was a great asset.” While still a student at CCHS, she was a congressional intern in the office of Congressman Donald Norcross. The next year she served as a research intern at the Foreign Policy Research Institute at the University of Pennsylvania. She followed that with a stint as a trials intern in the Philadelphia DA’s office. Bianca is now preparing to go to law school. In light of the opportunities she was able to pursue, she feels the great mix of people at Camden Catholic played as significant a role in shaping her as did her equally great mix of course work.

He first noted the school’s dedication “to educating the whole person in a God-centered environment.” Another of the many reasons he was ready to move forward, he said, is that at CCHS there is “a plethora of faculty who were always available to assist me in any way.” That support, he emphasized, came from “faculty members who did not even have me in class.” In addition to endorsing the help he received from teachers, Justin echoed something others familiar with the school have said: students help each other. “There is something unique about the student body at Camden Catholic,” Justin confirmed. “There is less competition and more collaboration.” What Justin saw manifest was
“camaraderie, companionship, and compassion amongst this tight-knit community.” Justin Seo summed up why, in those last otherwise tense days leading up to graduation, he felt academically and emotionally fit to go out into the world, saying “No other environment is as efficient and prepares a student for the future like Camden Catholic, plain and simple.”

most heartfelt way. As word of Keith’s passing spread, former classmate Jacque (Clements) Dickinson reached out to President Mary Whipkey, informing her that the class wanted to do something to remember and honor Keith, who, Jacque said, was “an amazing, life-changing person.” It seemed his capacity to amaze and influence only grew after he left his home in Camden and made his way to Boston, first to play football at Boston College, then to become an educator. He was working on a doctorate before he died. Newspapers such as the Boston Globe and the Dorchester Reporter noted Keith’s death with moving accounts of his life and work as coheadmaster of Tech Boston Academy, a college preparatory high school serving grades 6 through 12, in Dorchester, Massachusetts. On the school’s website and in many of the news articles, he is hailed as “the heart and soul of TBA” and “a hero to a lot of young people.” Keith was honored not just in the Boston area, where he had been a leader and an agent for change, but here in South Jersey as well, most especially at his high school alma mater. Jacque remembers him as “a uniting force in the class,” who “crossed barriers of distinct groups that exist hen Colin Merriman transferred to Camden W Catholic in January of 2019, he expected to like the place. He had been looking for a school
in all teenage social relationships.” It was not surprising to Jacque and many other members of the class of 1984 that Keith ended up mentoring young people who were probably going through some of the same trials that their class had gone through as teens. With the intervening years comes perspective, and Jacque says that Keith Love’s passing was “the catalyst, a reminder of what a great family [CCHS] had built. His name ‘Love’ embraces the feeling our class had for him and for all we have.” While the Keith Love Scholarship is the first formal scholarship established by the class of 1984, it is not the first time this branch of the CCHS family has reached out. “We hear of classmates and their families in need and we assist,” says Jacque. Jobs, cars, temporary housing and financial donations have been offered through social media
connections. Most recently, the class made a $500 charitable donation to Acenda Health, in memory of their former classmate Bernadette (Donlon) Cappetti, who had passed away. In an email, Amy Walter McGinely, another member of the class of ‘84, put it this way: The foundation of our bond can be rooted in the motto of CCHS— Honor, Faith, Loyalty. Because of the link we share, we wanted to remember classmates who left this world too soon… We HONOR our fallen classmates and remember their contribution to the fabric of our society. We have FAITH that their lives were lived with purpose, rooted in the CCHS tradition. The Class of 1984 Love Scholarship shows our LOYALTY to their memories.” The word love may not be explicit in the school motto but the sentiment certainly is. And now in honor of Keith Love and others, the class of 1984 will help one student from the Camden area with a donation of one thousand dollars in tuition assistance. “We want future students to represent our commitment to each other, our communities and our school,” says Jacque. An incoming freshman of the Class of 2025 will be the first recipient, and if the donations continue, there will be many more. Speaking for this thoughtful and generous class, Jacque Dickinson says, “We can’t wait to meet them!”
COLIN MERRIMAN, 2021 GRADUATE WHY I TRANSFERRED TO CCHS
that would be a better fit for him than his former high school had been. He says he had heard that “there were great kids and great teachers at CCHS,” and so midway through his sophomore year he made the leap. He was confident about his choice from the start, and from the first day, he says, what he hoped for “exceeded [his] expectations.” He acknowledges significant differences between Camden Catholic and other schools. He worried at first about adjusting, especially having made the switch midyear. He
says “the environment is so different.” That major difference, he goes on to say, is “how grouporiented everyone is about success. Everyone really wants the other person to succeed just as much as they want to succeed themselves.” Colin, a starting point guard, who helped lead the Irish to the SJ championship game in 2020, and a captain of the 2021 team that finished third in South Jersey and fifteenth in the state, says that the joint effort at success is evident both on and off the court. “When I first got here in January, Coach Matt Crawford invited me to practice with the team on my very first day. I couldn’t play as a sophomore because of transfer rules but I met players right away and they introduced me to their friends and even to their teachers. Those teachers, and the students, welcomed me with open arms. It really helped me to get acclimated right away.” Something else Colin had heard about CCHS turned out to be absolutely true: connections count and loyalty is long-lasting. “I went to a school fundraiser at Top Golf and was welcomed
by various alums who talked to me about college plans and beyond. One man gave me his business card and offered me an internship with his accounting company.” Camden Catholic connections helped make his transition into the school easy and now they were helping him with the next step. Colin Merriman has this to say to anyone thinking of coming to Camden Catholic High School at any stage: “You will really grow here and you will be ready for the future.”

Audubon or Tutti Toscani in Cherry Hill. The talk, when it turns to reminiscences, can reach way back because the men and women who gather go back 64 years! It is said high school can be the place to make life-long friendships, and Jim Madden’s group verifies that. A few of them have known each other since grammar school, but it was their time at Camden Catholic—the old building in Camden, reached either on foot or by public transportation—Jim proudly notes, that established enduring connections. Members of the Class of 1957 started meeting regularly about
three years ago. A temporary pause at the height of the quarantine did not interrupt the conversation for long. Banter about the old days when there were many nuns influencing the 300 students of their graduating class is sometimes a topic, but the conversation can go in many different directions and folks are still learning new things about each other. Jim recalls when Mary Rencic first came to lunch and he couldn’t remember a lot about her except that “she was quiet and very smart and was on the forensics team.” Mary, who passed away this year, was Mary Kirincich then. The yearbook noted in 1957, that she “makes friends easily.” That affability was still evident years later, and Jim says, “It was great to get to know her all over
again.” He delighted in finding out that Mary had come to the U.S. from Eastern Europe after the war in 1945, something he had not known throughout high school. It seems that friendships made at Camden Catholic have a life beyond the green and white walls. What lies ahead (even 64 years ahead) might offer as much of a learning experience as Latin, biology, or algebra classes did back in the Cathedral school on Market Street all those years ago.

ancing and singing in the musicals in The DWhitman Lyceum. Proms at the now-demolished Walt Hotel. Playing with the all-girl drum
and bugle corps for the “City Series,” the boys’ basketball tournaments at Convention Hall. Graduation ceremonies at the brand new Savar Theater. These memories are vivid for the Moore sisters, whose deep and abiding fondness for Camden Catholic grips them still after 85 years! Mary Moore Olsen, class of ’42, and her “big” sister, Dorothea Moore, class of ’36, sparkle when they talk about the golden years of their time at Camden Catholic High. Dorothea, who recently celebrated her one hundred and second birthday, danced in the school’s shows, renown even in those early years—she still has the playbill that lists her 20
senior year lead performance in “The Desert Song.” Dorothea went on to dance professionally, eventually opening her own studio where, she says proudly, she “trained seven dancers who went on to be Radio City Rockettes.” Mary, who is 97, sang in those great shows, often having the leading role, as she did her senior year in the musical “Tunes and Turns.” Her sister has high praise: “Mary was quite a singer,” and she reminisces, “she sang in my wedding.” Mary was also the sergeant bugler in the drum and bugle corps, a position which earned her a school letter. Dorothea remembers going to the prom with Paul O’Connor who would later become Monsignor O’Connor. “We were in the play together and we were good friends,” she recalls. But, she says, high
school for her was a special time because it was where she met her first husband, Emil Riegert, who was manager of the CCHS boys’ basketball team. Emil passed away but Dorothea keeps the letter he was awarded, among so many other treasures that mark her still-treasured time. Both sisters gush over the earliest of Camden Catholic’s buildings, an annex over St. Mary’s Grammar School at Seventh and Federal Streets in Camden, which housed the Lyceum Auditorium, performance space of the celebrated musicals and recitals. “The building was already old when we were there,” says Dorothea. “And it was so beautiful, you would have thought you were in Europe,” Mary chimes in. Though the Moore sisters walked to school from their Camden home, they remember how students from towns all over South Jersey were drawn to the oldest Catholic school in the area. “It just makes me feel good to be a small part of the place,” says Mary, as she holds out her hand to show her class ring. “Yes,” Dorothea agrees, “it makes me feel good.” Both women, it seems, were more than a small part of CCHS; indeed, they were memorable contributors to the Camden Catholic story and continue to be dedicated keepers of the school’s history.

someday become chief judges; Broadway actors, dancers, and art directors; published authors; U.S. Navy admirals; COOs and executive directors of
major corporations; Catholic bishops; U.S. ambassadors and foreign diplomats; Olympic athletes; and university presidents; not to mention nurses, doctors, lawyers, researchers, teachers, master builders, nuns, priests and faithful, dedicated parents, is a legacy of a teaching tradition that speaks for itself. President Mary Whipkey wants to keep that legacy alive and she thinks the best way to do that is take a good thing and make it even better. That is why she is so enthusiastic about a new idea that emerged recently from the school’s strategic planning committee. During an ongoing analysis of academics and curriculum development, the committee suggested incorporating an innovative STEM program to enhance the school’s rigorous courses and solid teaching methods that have withstood the test of time. First, the President clarifies that STEM, although the acronym stands for the components of science, technology, engineering and math, “isn't just about the sciences. It is a mindset of innovation, creativity and critical thinking. It strives to tie together dimensions of various subjects in meaningful ways.” Because STEM is inherently about creativity in all content areas, applying much of the STEM strategies and concepts to the arts and humanities is a given. Fostering creativity and critical thinking in students is not new to Camden Catholic; it has always been a foremost part of the school’s curricular
objectives. A STEM program will broaden and deepen that approach. Implementation of STEM will offer cutting-edge ways to cultivate such resourcefulness. “The way students learn is always changing,” says Father Joseph Capella, Rector and Director of Catholic Identity, “and educators can
change to meet those needs without jettisoning the time-honored techniques.” The consensus among the leadership of the school and the board of trustees is that a STEM program helps students develop a growth mindset that will give them the confidence to challenge themselves. “Most importantly, they will be doing rather than having others do for them,” says President Whipkey, and she emphasizes that “teamwork directed at solving problems, breaking down larger projects into smaller steps, and time-management are all at the core of working
in the real world, and STEM learning facilitates the building of those very skills.” Believing that traditional methods and innovative design can work in tandem, the school is establishing a partnership with The Teaching Institute for Excellence in Stem, known as TIES, to design a program unique to Camden Catholic. TIES coordinators, however, will not bring in something ready-made. Instead they will help CCHS develop its own program, adapting to the needs of its students, using the strengths of its faculty, and building on all of the school’s assets. The TIES team will assist CCHS faculty and administration to produce a design framework that will provide innovation within the curriculum, the addition of future innovation labs, and an updated robotics program. In addition, TIES will aid in the search for community partners in the South Jersey area as well as with planning, professional development, and possible funding. Of the many projects Whipkey has overseen in her 17 years at Camden Catholic, the execution of this latest enterprise excites her the most. First of all, she knows a STEM program will offer students at Camden Catholic the opportunity to be in the vanguard of learning, thus allowing the school to remain one of the best in the South Jersey. She also sees the project as a way for all individuals— students, teachers, coaches, administrators, and members of the community—to add a unique part of themselves to the big picture that is CCHS. Mary says, “I see the program as a blank canvas ready to create a piece of work. Everyone is contributing their color to create a masterpiece in which the students will garner the necessary skill sets to be productive in society.”

Directed by alumna Angela Leone ‘04, with music director Greg Gardner ‘11 and choreographer Robert Rodriguez, Opening Up “centered on the idea of giving something to the students, instead of taking away,” says Leone. “So much has been taken from them over the past year, we wanted to be sure this process added to the Camden Catholic experience.” The show offered a collection of 21 contemporary musical theatre pieces assembled into a two-act narrative structure that tells a story within a story, set in both pre and post-Covid times. “This musical revue has taught our students more than acting and singing. It
has taught them to overcome adversity with creativity, passion and collaboration of dedicated souls. The six seniors can take their final bow feeling the support of the Camden Catholic community,” said CCHS President Mary Whipkey.

Ed Corbett ‘81 Remembered as a Devoted Alumnus, Artist, Actor & Mentor By Nancy Werner-Kaiser, English Faculty
Class of 2021 Gets Creative These students are aiming for continued growth in various fields of the arts as they move onto college with talents honed during their time at CCHS. We wish them the best of luck as they pursue their dreams!
The first day that I met Ed Corbett, I knew that he was the real deal. We spoke at length about his career as a professional actor, performing in television programs like Law and Order, and movies like Zoolander, and Renaissance Man. Ed performed in everything from after school specials, to soap operas, and Shakespearean plays. When I asked him if he would consider working with the CCHS Shakespeare Troupe and Actors Guild, he expressed an interest, but noted that he was not a teacher. Ed attended our Friday rehearsal, spent about 5 minutes introducing himself, and jumped right in to work with our young actors. It was obvious, immediately, that he was a born teacher. He was so inspired by the dedication and commitment of the students, especially when it came to difficult Shakespearean soliloquies and scenes, and they responded enthusiastically to the humbly offered, yet inspirational tools, that Ed provided them. He was hooked on the kids, and they were hooked on him.
Over the past 10 years, we have taken student actors to many competitions and performance opportunities and Ed was always there to give them last minute tips, calm their nerves, and encourage them to enjoy the moment. It is not possible to list the names of all the student actors that he worked with, because there were so many. Each of them benefited from working with him, and some have even gone on to become professional actors. Ed and I also worked together on several summer theatre camp performances, and, once again, his coaching proved invaluable. On June 7th, the CCHS Shakespeare Troupe presented its culminating performance and dedicated it to Ed. We are also renaming our Troupe the Ed Corbett Memorial Shakespeare Troupe and Actors Guild, in his honor. Ed’s passing leaves a void in the lives of his family, friends, colleagues, and students. We will always remember his favorite mantra about the profession that he loved: “Acting is truth.”

John Dulczak ‘97 Makes Our Field of Dreams a Reality
John Dulczak ‘97 with his wife Caitlin, daughter Alania and son Jace.

John Dulczak ‘97 with his parents John and Lucy, sister Lauren (Dulczak) Callahan ‘00, wife Caitlin and children, Alania and Jace.
John Dulczak ‘97 has funded a new turf field to be used by the entire CCHS community.
1997 graduate, and co-founder/CEO of Labor First, John Dulczak has earned respect throughout his career for managing health and welfare funds for union members throughout the region. He credits his success in business and in life, with his formation at CCHS. “I wasn't the easiest of teenagers growing up....and I would never be where I am today if not for the support from both my family and all of those at CCHS, from football coaches and teammates to school administrators, teachers and classmates. This is my way of showing them my appreciation.” And, how grateful we are!
John has stepped forward to fund the installation of new astro turf and a scoreboard for Shamrock Field. The turf project was completed in July of 2021 through the efforts of Mary Whipkey, President and Sam Hardy, Director of Athletics, who contracted with Keystone Sports Construction on the installation. The Dulczak Family Field will be dedicated and blessed prior to the first home football game of the 2021 season on Friday, September 17 at 7 p.m. All alumni and student families are invited and encouraged to attend to celebrate this momentous occasion. With his donation, Dulczak plans to not only fund the completion of this project, but to
also commit to supporting Camden Catholic, and improvements throughout the campus, long-term. “It’s been an honor and a privilege for me to partner with CCHS on this project. It was a needed and necessary improvement, which I hope will benefit the entire school community,” said Dulczak.
“It was truly a privilege and honor to get behind this project.” -John Dulczak ’97 “Mr. Dulczak’s gift of the new turf field to CCHS is a wonderful testimony to his personal sense of generosity as well as to the influence CCHS had on him during his formative years,” said Fr. Joseph Capella, Rector. “He exemplifies our alumni's sense of giving back so that our current students not only benefit from this generosity but it helps to instill the same sense of honor, faith and loyalty within them for their own future.” The former turf had been installed in 2009 and was in need of replacement for safety and performance purposes. Beyond being used by gym classes, and athletic teams (football, field hockey, boys and girls soccer and boys
and girls lacrosse), the turf is also used for outdoor Mass, freshman orientation, and many school group activities. “My hope is that this improvement helps to continue the tradition of success and school pride, both on and off the field for Camden Catholic students,” said Dulzcak. “I am anticipating continued bright futures for all of the school’s athletic programs. The foundation is here for CCHS to be the premier private Catholic educational and athletic institution in Southern New Jersey,” he said. John Dulczak graduated from Camden Catholic in 1997 and earned his BS from Stockton University. John oversees business strategy, growth planning and overall operations for Labor First and its sister company Retireefirst located in Mount Laurel, NJ. He began his professional career serving ERISA union and public sector health and welfare funds. He worked as a multiemployer benefit plan administrator, managing three health and welfare funds totaling over 30,000 participants. Later, he served as the National Director of Business Development for OptumRx. John currently lives in Cherry Hill with his wife Caitlin, their five year old daughter Alania and four month old Jace.

Ed Connell is retired with wife Camill. Enjoying life with two grandchildren, Ella and Domenic. Victor Andrijauskas and his partner Diane Aussom achieved the 2,000 mile mark of trekking through the mountains and valleys of the Red Rock Canyon wilderness in Nevada. They began doing the fifteen mile treks in 2011 when Andrijauskas returned as a resident of Las Vegas. The entrance to the Canyon begins at an elevation of 3,220 feet and rises to a summit of 4,767 feet. The first five miles are almost continuously uphill and provide a challenge to Andrijauskas since he has advanced stages of emphysema. He was prescribed supplemental oxygen to aid in breathing and designed and constructed a harness with which to pull the oxygen cart behind him on the treks. He claims his partner Diane is his inspiration since in the past twelve years, she had two bouts of cancer attacking different areas of her body and through radiation treatments and extended chemotherapy, separated by years for each cancer, she not only continues to trek but also does weight training. In their late sixties and early seventies...both completed two half-marathons and one full marathon in Las Vegas and Manhattan Beach, California. A motto they encourage each other with is: “If it was going to be easy, they'd have sent your mother!” Andrijauskas is a Retired Air Force Major, who flew F-4 “Phantom” Jet Fighters and served as Director of International Air Force Public Relations Directorates in the United States and Europe. Both continue to live in Las Vegas, Nevada and have started post-pandemic training for wilderness trekking once again.

Mark and Patricia Balsama ‘71 Share their WHY for donating annually to Camden Catholic: As you know, both myself and Patricia are graduates of CCHS and we firmly believe in Catholic education AND the advantage we felt it gave us in life, especially with successful careers! I'll never forget when I was 16 years old (1969), my twin brother Michael and I were already into the third week of our junior year attending a public high school when we both had a nagging feeling we were on the wrong educational path if we wanted to attend a good college. Even though the fall semester was already three weeks underway, we quickly made the decision to both transfer into CCHS that same week and finish up the last two years of our high school education, concentrating on college prep courses. As part of a larger family, my parents couldn't afford to pay for the tuition to CCHS so my brother and I withdrew most of our savings and paid for the tuition ourselves and later got parttime jobs to pay for the tuition for our senior year. Sorry for the digression, but I thought you would like to hear the story of how I came to attend Camden Catholic High School in the first place, since it really was the FIRST conscious decision that I made to support Catholic education in my life. Sincerely, Mark Balsama '71

Alumnus Jeff Long was featured in the Courier-Post for his non-profit children's fitness program: Healthy Kids Running Series. Healthy Kids Running series is a Delaware County, Pennsylvania-based nonprofit that organizes age-appropriate races for children ages 2-14. The program emphasizes fostering a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem alongside exercise and healthy habits, and has been to West Chester, West Philadelphia, Philly’s West Oak Lane neighborhood, and most recently Camden. Jeff, a Division I collegiate runner, began hosting running events for children 11 years ago, motivated by his desire to provide the same active childhood for his own children that he had himself and to extend this opportunity to others. With an emphasis on finishing over being first and the awardance of a shirt, bib, and medal (similar to the famous Broad Street Run through Philadelphia) to participants, the point is about “creating a supportive community, cheering them on and building selfesteem… It's OK to walk! We're celebrating the finish, no matter what that looks like.” To learn more about his organization, visit https://healthykidsrunningseries.org/.

Dawn is a Nurse Manager APU/PACU/OR at Jefferson Methodist Hospital in Philadelphia and was honored for being a leader by example, helping her staff learn and grow, both professionally and personally. Per the DAISY Foundation website: “When the APU/PACU/CPD nurse manager position was vacated, Dawn stepped up to lead and manage the units in addition to her responsibilities as nurse manager of the operating room...Her door is always open. She will always answer her phone, no matter the time of day or night, and is readily available when she is needed. Dawn takes the time to listen to staff concerns and values their opinions. She is a consistent and reliable leader; always making rounds on staff. She even works on weekends, ensuring patient's COVID test results are received prior to their scheduled surgical procedure. Dawn does all this and even attends graduate school to obtain her Master's degree in Nursing Leadership. Dawn has an excellent work ethic as demonstrated by her uncanny ability to facilitate collaborative relationships with the interprofessional teams to determine what is best for patients in terms of quality and safety. I believe she can get any surgeon to do anything!”

IN REMEMBRANCE OF YOU Fr. Scott Pilarz, S.J. ‘77 Father Pilarz held multiple leadership roles in his lifetime including President of the University of Scranton (24th & 27th), President of Marquette University, and President of Georgetown Prep. Despite his many commitments, his passion and loyalty to Camden Catholic was unwavering. He “returned home” to CCHS to lead the Board of Trustees as Chair from 2003 to 2015, always prioritizing the responsibilities of this position. As a proud alumnus, Father Pilarz encouraged others to give back to CCHS, a place he called “the nation’s best Catholic school.” He told the 2015 graduating class “I love this place, I love it for what it gave me.” His extraordinary love for his Alma Mater was professed in many ways over the years: when he partnered with friend and fellow alumnus Robert DiStanislao ‘78 to renovate and name the band room as the Pilarz-DiStanislao Performing Arts Center; when he led the most recent Capital Campaign during the 125th Anniversary of CCHS to raise over $3 million for the renovation of the cafeteria and library; when he visited many many times to see CCHS in action, getting to know the students and celebrating Mass for the CCHS family. In the words of Father Pilarz’s good friend and CCHS President, Mary Whipkey: “Scott gave us so much more than we could ever give him. His enduring work for Catholic education across the country, and his loyalty to Camden Catholic is a testament to his faith, his work ethic and his foundation as a graduate of CCHS. We will remember him always at CCHS, the lessons he taught us, the spirit he exuded and the faith that he shared so eloquently. Please remember Father Pilarz, his family and his many friends, especially those in the CCHS community, in your prayers.”

A Letter from the President Mrs. Mary Whipkey
THE THOMAS J. LIZZIO ‘58 AND PAULA SAKER LIZZIO ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Dear Alumni and Friends of Camden Catholic, I feel so honored and privileged to belong to the Camden Catholic community. The outreach and support from our alumni and friends of Camden Catholic has been incredible this year; a year in which we all wondered how to plan week by week. In true Camden Catholic spirit, we have endured the storm and we are all ready to keep the ship sailing providing new innovative experiences for our students. CCHS is honored to receive the commitment of alumnus and Hall of Fame member Thomas Lizzio and his wife Paula, who have established an endowed scholarship fund of $50,000 which will support tuition assistance efforts for Camden Catholic students. The Thomas J. Lizzio ‘58 and Paula Saker Lizzio Endowed Scholarship Fund will grow over time and continue to help make a Camden Catholic education possible for many years to come. Mr. Lizzio (also known as TJ Escott) has been a dedicated alumnus giving consistently to Camden Catholic since 1998. He helped chair the Campaign for the Future in 2015, as well as hosted an alumni reception at his home in California for the CCHS Office of Advancement. “TJ is so thoughtful about his passion to help students who really want a Camden Catholic education. He and Paula's dedication to making this happen is something we are so grateful for,” says Mary Whipkey, President. Anyone interested in forming an endowment or in becoming part of our legacy society by remembering Camden Catholic in your will, please contact Mary Whipkey at mary.whipkey@camdencatholic.org.
We have seen the “why” throughout this magazine of many different constituents. Why do I love my job at Camden Catholic? My why is the ability to live a vision and mission that helps students find their purpose, build on their faith, and become leaders in our world. Nothing warms my heart more than watching the students develop and mature over their four years at Camden Catholic. Their formation into young responsible men and women is inspiring. “For where your treasure is, there will be your heart also.” (Matthew 6:21) Our treasures are the students: past, present and future. Our new strategic plan for the next 5 years embodies the spirit of our students. How can we plan to enhance the educational and spiritual experience for our current students? How can we link our past students (alumni) to help strengthen the core of this experience? How can we spread the word to future students to become part of a community that cares about not only their educational journey but about their personal spiritual formation? We have taken much time and consideration to be sure all of these areas have attention and strategic direction. This is why we exist to serve with love our students – our treasures. I hope you join us in this post pandemic year to celebrate all of our treasures. Stay tuned to our communications and become involved back in the community this year as we start fresh in a new normal. Whether it is a sporting event, alumni event, or an arts event, please re-connect in some way with Camden Catholic. We must continue to show the strength and resilience of the Camden Catholic community to our current and future students. In the words of Catherine McAuley, “we must strive to do our ordinary things extraordinarily well.” This is why we are all here. In gratitude,
Mary Whipkey President
We thank the Lizzios for their enduring support of CCHS. 42

Irish Giving Day 2021
TOTAL CCHS RAISED BOUNCED $212,314! BACK... HIGHER THAN EVER! Taking a page out of Claire Marino’s 2020 senior address, we chose “Bounce Back...Bounce Higher” as this year’s Irish Giving Day theme. Knowing the challenges faced this year, it is almost unbelievable to see the response from our alumni, friends and CCHS families as they rose to the challenge for the 7th annual Irish Giving Day. New this year was the Team Challenge in which each of our athletic teams was invited to participate in a March Madness-style competition. Boys Soccer came out on top with over $10,000! We congratulate the Class of 1957 who, once again, is named our top class in both percentage and amount. Bravo, 1957!

We have marked Parents as specific years but we do not have enough info to note all grandparents. We would like to do this in the future. Please email Janet indelicato at janet.indelicato@camdencatholic.org if you are a grandparent of a current or past student. We can then recognize all of our wonderful grandparents who are helping the Camden Catholic community.

JOIN US! There are so many ways to make a difference. Which will you choose?
THE ANNUAL FUND The greatest number of gifts to CCHS are unrestricted cash donations to the Annual Fund. Annual Fund gifts can also be restricted to tuition assistance, arts or athletics, including specific sports. These gifts make strides toward helping us maintain a competitive value proposition for families seeking a Catholic education for their children.
The Shamrock Society The Shamrock Society is our giving club for donors who contribute $1,000 or more to the Annual Fund each year. Members of this society send an outward message that they know Camden Catholic and its students are a worthy investment.
Tuition Assistance Approximately one third of our students receive some form of tuition assistance based on a standardized assessment of financial need. Your gifts help each of our families continue to choose Catholic education. All recipients are chosen based upon academic performance and demonstrated financial need. Why Tuition Assistance Matters For years, the Sisters of Mercy were able to contribute their services to Camden Catholic High School to reduce the cost of tuition, thereby making a Catholic education affordable for families. Today, the rising costs of healthcare and technology attribute to a higher cost of education, and tuition must be increased accordingly. What can I do? • Contribute to tuition assistance and you will afford a student the opportunity to find themselves, uncover talents, grow academically and spiritually, and develop leadership skills for a 21st century world. • Named scholarships can both support a student and honor a living individual, family, group, or memorialize a loved one.
Other Ways To Contribute Stock – Camden Catholic accepts gifts of securities, please contact the Advancement Office for required forms. Matching Gifts- Many corporations now support private secondary education through matching gifts. Check to see if your company offers a matching gift program, and multiply the impact you’re already making at Camden Catholic. In Memoriam - You, or your family, can choose to recommend gifts to Camden Catholic in lieu of flowers within an obituary. If you wish the gifts to be restricted to a specific purpose please contact the Advancement Office at the time of the obituary’s publication.
LEGACY GIVING Please visit www.cchslegacy.org or call the Advancement Office at 856-663-2247 for more information on ways to make a lasting contribution to Camden Catholic.
