THE CBHS Annual Fund

Now, more than ever, CBHS relies on the support of our generous community to help strengthen our efforts to provide a holistic and transformative educational experience to each of our Brothers' Boys.

Your contribution to the Annual Fund enables us to develop our students into better Men for Tomorrow and Brothers for Life, as we've done for nearly 150 years here in Memphis.

Dear Friends of CBHS,

What a year this has been for all of us. With the support of faculty and staff who managed to swiftly and adeptly change course at the start of the pandemic, families who extended grace and partnered with us to ensure their sons received the education expected of a Brothers' Boy whether on campus or from home, students who remained flexible through it all, as well as alumni and friends, whose contributions of funds, time, and expertise guided us through turbulent waters, we are here today. We cannot say that we are unscathed, but we are undoubtedly better than where we started.

I imagine what we have experienced these past nine months is not unlike the road traveled by the Christian Brothers, who arrived in Memphis 149 years ago on November 21, fleeing a metropolis in ruins and facing another wave of the Yellow Fever sweeping the Mid-South. The fortitude of our school's forefathers inspires us to forge on today.

Then, now, and for generations to come, we are resolved in our mission to provide an unparalleled education and transformative student experience, steeped in our Catholic faith and rooted in Lasallian tradition, to those who call Christian Brothers High School home.

As we look forward to our sesquicentennial anniversary in 2021, we will take this time to both reflect on the Christian Brothers' storied legacy in Memphis and determine our vision for the future through a strategic planning process in the spring. With the direction of this plan, formed and vetted by esteemed members of our community, we are excited for what is to come for CBHS.

May God continue to bless each of us most abundantly, and may Jesus continue to live in our hearts…. Forever!

With heartfelt thanks, grateful appreciation, and the assurance of my prayers, I remain

Brother David Poos, FSC President

In the parochial schools he attended leading up to high school, Bill Huettel ’51 was taught by the Sisters of Charity. That changed when he became a Brothers' Boy. “I really admired the Brothers and looked up to them. They guided us and treated us like adults,” said Huettel. “I’m grateful for what Christian Brothers has done for me and my family.”

Huettel’s family is closely connected with Christian Brothers. Including Bill, three generations are alumni including his brother, Wilfred “Chick” Huettel ‘60, his son, Bill Huettel, Jr. ‘81 and four grandsons, Will Snyder ‘05, William "Trey" Huettel III ‘09, Stuart Huettel ‘12 and Nate Huettel ‘17.

jANET AND bIll huETTEl '51 Giving with Gratitude

Christian Brothers also prepared Huettel for college and his career. After attending Texas A&M University, where he was Southwest Conference fencing champion and captain, Huettel served in the Army as an officer in a tank battalion and in an intelligence unit with the rank of captain.

Huettel spent his career at United Paint Company, starting as a salesman and eventually becoming president and CEO. Though he calls it “luck,” his list of accomplishments tells otherwise. He was elected to the board of the Pratt & Lambert Corporation in Buffalo, New York, served two terms in the Tennessee General Assembly, was installed as a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre and was president of the board of the Memphis Convention Center, the Memphis Mental Health Institute, and St. Agnes Academy.

Huettel also served on the boards of Opera Memphis, Ballet Memphis, St. Peter’s Catholic Church and Brooks Museum of Art. He was appointed by Governor Winfield Dunn to serve on the Tennessee Arts Commission. Huettel also served on the Christian Brothers Alumni Board and was elected to the Hall of Fame.

In addition to his years of service to the community, Huettel has generously supported Christian Brothers with his annual fund gifts. To make these, he donates appreciated stock. “I have some stock that, if I sell it, I will get hit with pretty steep capital gains tax,” Huettel said. “So, I use my stock to make my yearly donations to Christian Brothers and other charities my wife Janet and I support. Donating the stock allows us to make a nice gift while avoiding heavy capital gains tax.”

Huettel has also made plans to continue supporting the Brothers for years to come. He has established a charitable remainder trust which provides the Huettels income now in their retirement years. And, in the future, Christian Brothers and a few other charities near and dear to their hearts will benefit from this wonderful legacy.

“Christian Brothers prepares students to live ethical and moral lives, teaches them to serve others in the community, instills in them an obligation to help those less fortunate and, above all, instructs them daily to ‘remember we are in the Holy presence of God.’”

“I give because of all Christian Brothers has done for me and my family. We were all shaped by the Brothers, and for that I am grateful.”

“My years at Christian Brothers gave me so much. I was on the football and track teams as well as in the choral club. I met some of my best friends there. Our class is still very close, and we’ve been faithful to one another over the years.”

Bill and Janet Huettel established a charitable remainder trust to provide income in their retirement years as well as support CBHS and other charities for years to come.

2021 HALL OF FAME inductees

Christian Brothers High School is proud to announce its 2021 Hall of Fame inductees, who will be honored in an on-campus ceremony on Sunday, April 18 . Candidates are chosen by the Hall of Fame membership based on their personal accomplishments, civic and public contributions, as well as support of and involvement with the school. Eligible alumni candidates must have graduated a minimum of 20 years prior to selection.

HALL of FAME

Dr. Jamie Brummer was appointed Principal of Christian Brothers High School on October 7 this year, but he has been an active member of the CBHS community for nearly 25, having served as a teacher, coach, mentor, department chair, associate principal, and, most recently, as interim principal for the school. As of this school year, he is also a CBHS parent twice over.

In the past nine months, he has shown tremendous leadership, guiding our faculty, staff, and families with grace, compassion, support, and complete transparency during an unprecedented time in high school education and in our country's history. He has taken an impressive amount of care to hear the concerns of our entire community and to take swift and appropriate action when necessary. By his example, he inspires us to be better collaborators, to seek the input of others, and to do both with humility. With Dr. Brummer at the helm, Christian Brothers High School will only continue to prosper.

A lifelong educator, Dr. Brummer received a bachelor’s degree in English and American Literature from the University of Notre Dame and two postgraduate degrees from the University of Memphis: a master’s degree in English and American Literature and a Doctor of Philosophy in American Literature.

As a graduate of the Lasallian Leadership Institute, Dr. Brummer models the Lasallian ideals and charism, believing that the faith formation of our young men is what resonates with them now and will guide them for the rest of their lives. It is what brings us together as a community, even through the most uncertain of times. Our Lasallian identity is what has and what will always set us apart as an educational institution in Memphis.

I join our entire community in congratulating Dr. Brummer, as he continues to lead Christian Brothers High School into its 150th year in Memphis. His longstanding commitment to the highest standards of instruction, educational leadership, and the student experience ensures a steady vision for CBHS in the years to come.

THE JAMES PRESTON COLEMAN AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE

In December of 2019, Ron Coleman '67, contacted Brother David to establish an award to recognize excellence in teachers and students at CBHS. Ron and his wife Jan wanted to honor both the memory of Ron’s father, James Preston Coleman '39, and the Colemans' generational legacy, with Ron's son and James' grandson Hunter Coleman '02 having also attended.

The James Preston Coleman Faculty Award for Excellence will be awarded each year to two faculty members who exemplify excellence in the classroom, excel in teaching, and demonstrate care and concern for their students and Christian Brothers High School. These teachers “go the extra mile” in touching hearts and teaching minds of the

young men entrusted to their care. The recipients of this award are selected by a committee appointed by the President.

The James Preston Coleman Student Award for Excellence is awarded each year to two students, a rising sophomore and a rising junior. Each recipient is a student who has striven to improve himself academically and personally while at Christian Brothers High School. The award will be applied to his tuition for the following year. The recipients of this award are selected by a committee appointed by the President.

The recipient of the 2020 inaugural James Preston Coleman Faculty Award for Excellence is the entire faculty of

Christian Brothers High School. The entire faculty was chosen for their hard work and dedication to their students when we transitioned effortlessly to online distance learning for the fourth quarter of the 2019–2020 academic year during the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

The recipients of the 2020 inaugural James Preston Coleman Student Award for Excellence are Chapel Rainer '22 and Luis Mercado '23.

We are grateful to Jan and Ron Coleman for instituting this wonderful tribute to James Preston Coleman and for their generosity to the advancement of Christian Brothers High School.

and maintain bridges between CBHS and the local business community, creating unique partnerships and professional development opportunities for CBHS students.”

Council members also serve as guest speakers, lead career discussions and offer networking opportunities for students.

To be eligible, Rishi had to be a senior with at least a 3.0 GPA. And, per CBHS regulations, he had to have no unexcused and less than five excused absences during the year prior to the internship, as well as no tardies during the year prior to the internship. It goes without saying that a candidate, such as Rishi, had to be in good standing with no history of discipline issues. The school wants to be sure that a student can proudly represent CBHS in the workplace.

After satisfying those requirements, Rishi submitted his application at least two months prior to the beginning of the semester during which he wanted to complete his internship. He also had to configure his class schedule to

accommodate a work schedule during either 1st-3rd period or 6th-8th period.

“In Rishi’s case, he is tackling a heavy-duty course load to round out his high school career, going to class for five periods a day, then reporting to work daily from 1 to 5 in the audit department at Reynolds Bone & Griesbeck,” explained Currey. “His internship will count towards his graduation requirements as a 1/2 credit elective per semester.”

“Having this internship has given me a better understanding of the inner workings of an accounting firm,” said Rishi. “This real-world experience adds greatly to my classroom learning and has shown me that accounting is a good career choice for me. I’m extremely grateful to Mr. Currey and Coach Kelso for giving me this opportunity. It is the first time that we’ve had this internship and I hope it opens doors for other students in the future.”

"Rishi has been an extremely valuable asset to Reynolds Bone & Griesbeck,” said Mary Apple, Human Resources manager. “During his time with RBG, he

has helped with work paper organization, distribution testing, sample selection, census reconciliation, forensic audits, internal control reconciliation testing, and external audit preparation. Coworkers describe Rishi as personable, agreeable, hardworking, and eager to learn. We are grateful to have Rishi on the RBG team!”

“Rishi’s experience speaks to the opportunities that can arise from our alumni's strong commitment to giving back to their alma mater," Brummer concluded. "It also demonstrates a concerted effort on Christian Brothers' part to engage local, CBHS-affiliated companies to connect with students interested in pursuing a career in business beyond high school. These connections are symbolic of the generational support we see daily at CBHS. Our community is helping set our students up for long-term success.”

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, students at CBHS are continuing to receive a robust education, both in and out of the classroom. A key component to the education being received outside of the classroom is the school's internship program, which places qualified students as interns with local businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies.

According to Dr. Jamie Brummer, principal at CBHS, "The empirical knowledge they gain through internships gives them a leg up in college and with post-graduate job placement.”

The internship program guidelines stipulate that, “Students eligible for the program spend a semester gaining valuable hands-on experience in a professional organization related to their specific career interests. The internship opportunity is accomplished

by a partnership between CBHS and an employer, where an agreement is made to manage and complete specific objectives established prior to beginning the internship for the purpose of maximizing professional growth for students, as well as defining what success looks like for all parties involved.”

One such intern is senior Rishi Patel, who plans to major in accounting in college.

“Rishi took Accounting I as a sophomore and Honors Accounting as a junior,” said Rob Currey, AP Economics teacher and chairman of the Business Department.

“He wanted to do more his senior year, so he entered our internship program. His accounting teacher, Buster Kelso, reached out to CBHS alumni and supporters at Reynolds Bone & Griesbeck, one of the largest accounting firms in Memphis.”

“In Rishi’s case, he is going to do this internship all school year, not just for

a semester,” said Kelso. “This could be the first time that a high school student has worked at a CPA firm as an intern locally. The experience Rishi is getting is above and beyond what most high school students usually get to experience.”

Currey also serves as the school liaison for its Business Advisory Council, composed of CBHS alumni and other friends of the school who want to have a stake in the business education of students. The council is in its third year, meeting quarterly when possible to advise the school about what employers want in the workforce, which in turn impacts what is taught in the classroom.

Dan Robinson '78, Business Council member and attorney at Evans Petree PC, added, “Our council provides guidance and support to the business faculty and CBHS administration regarding the development and maintenance of a powerful, relevant, and unique high school business program. Our goals are to build

On November 21, we began the year-long celebration of our school's sesquicentennial anniversary in 2021, marking the Christian Brothers' arrival in Memphis and honoring their imprint on the generations of Brothers' Boys who have walked our halls since 1871. We celebrated Mass with Bishop Talley in St. Peter's Catholic Church (West Tennessee's oldest), mere blocks from our first campus on Adams Avenue, complete with a performance by our historic Band of Brothers. That evening, we recognized this year's distinguished alumnus, J. Richard Buchignani '66 among his peers, fellow alumni, and longtime school supporters.

WHAT'S HAPPENING around campus

July

This summer, we welcomed our new Dean of Students, Christopher Bunkley '10. Prior to his role at CBHS, Bunkley served as assistant principal and athletic director for Germantown High School.

The tradition of Blessing our Seniors' Class Rings, is something that bonds our Brothers with one another and their own connection with God. "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." - 2 Corinthians 4:18 Sometimes a class can change things up and make you see things that may have gone unnoticed. Students in our photography classes are encouraged to see more of the world that God has built for us.

Congratulations to seniors Chris Krahn, Reese McMullen, and Kyle Mesler, who were named National Merit semifinalists. Commended scholars included Luke Hubbard, Amir Khouzam, Wesley Mims, Drew Oxley, and Adam Willett.

Luke Hubbard '21 helps usher in the next class of prospective Brothers' Boys as a student ambassador during a visit day this fall.

Members of the CBHS Alumni Board and their families put a little sweat equity into the school's campus, cleaning and pruning the Memorial Garden, which honors the lives and memories of Brothers' Boys past and members of the greater CBHS community.

Every year, Ms. Taulman's junior religion class gift wraps shoeboxes filled with everyday essentials for residents at Ave Maria Home. Students also made more than 200 sandwiches for the Memphis Union Mission, and the entire CBHS family has wrapped its arms around faculty member Richard Branyan, his son Beau Branyan '22, and their family as Beau undergoes treatment at St. Jude.

A school year for the books wrapped this summer with a historic send off for our Class of 2020, the first class to graduate on the field of Tom Nix Stadium.
