Honor Roll of Donors.
An honor roll of Alumni, Family and Friends who believe in the
sacred mission of Detroit Catholic Central High School and made an
investment during the fiscal year July 1, 2020 - June 30, 2021.
The continuing pandemic created another very
unique year. Our Shamrocks returned to school,
while navigating the challenges of both virtual
and in-person learning. Our 2020 Varsity Football
Team finished the regular season undefeated,
but then saw the season stop in November, before seeing playoffs
resume in January, all while being tested for COVID 3 times a week,
at 7 am. Our Wrestlers, Hockey Players and Basketball Players did
their very best to manage while also being tested throughout the
season and competing in masks. Students never complained and
made the best of the ongoing situation always with the health and
wellbeing of their Shamrock brothers the priority. Our Shamrocks continued to overcome the odds by creating a mostly
“virtual” DRIVE in February 2021. A DRIVE that was the most unique
ever, one filled with incredible spirit and amazing, record breaking
results. Once again the Men of CC set another record by selling
more than $600,000 in raffle tickets.
The year culminated with the 2021 Commencement ceremony
that took place on the correct day, without any delay on May 22, 2021
here on campus in The Elm (Fr. Richard Elmer, CSB ’46 Stadium)
The President’s Report celebrates your fidelity and devotion.
It recognizes your faith in CC. If your name appears in the Report,
THANK YOU. It is our hope that others will see your name and
be inspired to do the same. It is a privilege for us to be members of
the CC family and an honor to serve you and our school.
Gratefully,
Your Advancement Team
