TIME TO CELEBRATE Reunions Are Back!
We were thrilled to host the class of 1962, 2002, 2007, and 2017 back on campus this summer. It was so fun to show them around. Some alums had not yet seen the Eva Farris Science Wing and the Kohlhepp Family Forum, and very few had seen the newly transformed library. Everyone was excited to see the changes to the building since they had been here last. What hadn’t changed was a highlight for many - the chapel. We were blessed to have Fr. Twadell ‘59 and Fr. James Brockmeier ‘07 celebrate Mass with the Class of 1962 and 2007. We are currently scheduling reunions for graduating classes that end in three and eight. It is our honor to host you on campus or help plan your reunion off campus. Let us know what we can do to help by contacting us at advancement@covingtonlatin.org
CENTENNIAL Celebration
In the fall of 1923, Bishop Howard founded Covington Latin School as an alternative to traditional high school for bright young men to accelerate their education so that they could enter college and the workforce early. Ninety-nine years later, over 3000 young men and women have the distinction of earning a diploma from Covington Latin School. Covington Latin School will start celebrating our centennial in May of 2023. This year-long celebration will highlight our outstanding institution.
CLS seeks individuals who would like to participate in planning this momentous event. If you are interested, please contact Amy Darpel at amy.darpel@covingtonlatin.org.
Our centennial celebration will kick off graduation weekend with a personalized yard sign. Join our newest graduates in decorating your yard with a sign with your graduation year on it. Scavenger hunts will go on throughout the year to find the earliest graduate, the farthest graduate, and the most yard signs found.
Place your order for your yard sign at www.covingtonlatin.org/alumni/centennial/

WHO WAS CLIFFORD KOHLHEPP?
Clifford E. Kohlhepp ‘33 was a strong advocate of the Covington Latin School his entire life. To honor his love of CLS, his six sons, Bill ‘57, Bob ‘59, Jerry ‘62, Tom ‘66, Jim CCH ‘69, Joe CCH ‘72, and grandson, Gary ‘83, have established a $2.5 million Clifford E. Kohlhepp Covington Latin School Endowment Fund.
WHEN DOES THE MATCH START?
The Kohlhepp Family will match and donate up to $2.5 million dollars from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2026. All contributions to the fund will be matched quarterly.
HOW DOES THE CHALLENGE WORK?
The Kohlhepp Family will match dollar for dollar all gifts made to the fund in hopes of raising $5,000,000 for the school. Additionally, all unrestricted contributions to the Academic Advancement Fund raised more than $200,000 will be matched each fiscal year. The Clifford E. Kohlhepp Covington Latin Endowment Fund’s intent is to provide tuition assistance for deserving students and support school initiatives.
HOW CAN I HELP?
Covington Latin School needs your help to make this transformational gift a reality. You can make an impact by donating directly to the Clifford E. Kohlhepp Covington Latin School Endowment Fund, and each donation will be matched dollar for dollar. All gifts made to the AAF will be matched once a $200,000 threshold is reached each fiscal year. Help us reach our goal by committing your support to the match and the AAF.

A MESSAGE FROM THE
DIRECTOR OF ADVANCEMENT
Dear Alumni, Parents, and Friends of Covington Latin School,
The fall edition of the The Leader is my favorite. It is a celebration of our graduates’ many accomplishments and the start for our new students whose graduation is far on the horizon. Opportunities abound for both our graduates and our new students.
As our graduates start their college experience, they realize how Covington Latin School prepared them to think critically and know how to be academically successful. They realize how hard work and determination allowed them to attend college for little money. They realize that the leadership skills they learned at CLS have prepared them to make the most of their college experience. These revelations of what a Latin School education gave them are second to none. As they embark on this new chapter of their lives, we pray they succeed in everything they do.
For our current students, Covington Latin School offers endless opportunities. At our orientation each year, I am reminded of what a special place Latin School truly is. Our students make fast friends because, for maybe the first time, these students are with like-minded students who love to learn. They are inquisitive and challenge each other to make the most of each learning opportunity. As I walk the halls, I feel the excitement and electricity in the air.
This year marks the 99th year of educating bright individuals. As we plan our centennial, there is much to celebrate and be thankful. Our strategic plan will guide everything we do for the next century. We are committed to providing the same classical education that has been a part of Latin School since its inception. But as more is learned in the field of gifted education, we are incorporating best practices that will support all who would benefit from a Covington Latin School education. We hope you are as excited as we are and will join us in our preparations.
Sincerely,
Amy Darpel
Director of Advancement
