A CATHOLIC SCHOOL IN THE LASALLIAN TRADITION
FEBRUARY 2014
Catholic Schools Week 2014
Bishop Kelley High School will join Catholic schools across the U.S. to celebrate
Catholic Schools Week during the week of January 26th-February 1st. This annual
event is meant to celebrate our history as well as the great work being done here every
day. In addition, we’re thankful for each of the 862 students currently attending BK
and we are excited about the growing interest in a Kelley education among a widening
population in Tulsa and the surrounding areas.

A few stats about Catholic schools in the United States (according to the National
Catholic Education Association):




There are 2,001,740 students enrolled in Catholic schools this year. 586,496 of those are in
Catholic high schools. Total Non-Catholic enrollment is 317,470 (15.9%).
There are 6,685 Catholic schools (1,213 Catholic high schools).
Catholic schools employ 151,405 people- 96.8% are lay men and women, 2.2% are Religious
Sisters, .5% are Brothers, and .5% are Clergy).
In the early 1960s more than 5.2 million students attended almost 13,000 Catholic schools. Just
in the last 13 years, 2,090 Catholic schools have closed. Urban areas have been most affected
by these closures.
It is a great blessing that so many in the Diocese of Tulsa have access to Catholic
schools but these statistics make clear that we must do all we can to ensure the longterm sustainability of our schools. I'm excited that the Oklahoma legislature is beginning to recognize the value of parental school choice with the passage of the Lindsey
Nicole Henry Scholarship in 2010. It allows parents of children with special needs to
receive funding to help them afford a private school of their choice. In addition to the
Henry Scholarship, tuition tax credits from the state of Oklahoma became available
after a law was passed in 2011. In Tulsa, this has taken the form of "GO For Catholic
Schools", which in 2013 raised $260,000 to help parents choose Catholic schools in
our diocese.
I hope this is just the beginning of the effort being made to help parents choose what is
in the best interest of their particular child rather than being forced to choose a school
based on their income and zip code.
The future of Catholic schools and especially Bishop Kelley is very bright, but we
must continue to be vigilant in our efforts to be the best we can be. Thank you for your
continued prayerful and financial support of our efforts here at BK.
Happy Catholic Schools Week!
Diocese of Tulsa In Christ,
Rev. Brian O’Brien
President

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK &
WINTER HOMECOMING
JANUARY 26 - FEBRUARY 1
Dear Bishop Kelley Community,
Throughout the week - Find the
Spirit Stick, Pep Rally Teacher Contest
Let me start by saying, Brocko LOVED being a Bishop Kelley Comet! He
loved the students and teachers and continually boasted of the amazing opportunity that he was given by transferring to BK. He was so looking forward to playing ball wearing BK on his hat and in his heart. When approached by former classmates and teammates about coming back to Cleveland, he would simply smile and say- “Thanks so much, but I’m so happy at
BK. I love it there”. I had told many friends that I finally had a “happy
son”- until you’ve had an unhappy child, you don’t realize the peace and
joy that happiness in a child brings. I’m eternally grateful that our Brocko
was so happy.

Riley and me regularly; you all are deeply appreciated by me and all of my
family.
To the outstanding STUDENTS, PARENTS and FACULTY of Bishop
Kelley High School: Please know that YOU all made a difference in
Brocko’s life. YOU all showed him true kindness, acceptance and
love. YOU all showed him what teaching, learning, playing, and loving
with passion and purpose was about. These are all characteristics of our
Brocko, but HE felt those from ALL of you as well. For that, we are eternally grateful. It’s true what is said of Bishop Kelley. It’s unique and it’s
THE BEST!

Bishop Kelley!
► A TIME FOR PLANTING!
Help beautify Bishop Kelley’s campus with the gift of a tree. Winter is the time to plant! Bishop Kelley’s
large campus has many areas to landscape and we have had extreme weather over the past three years
that has taken a toll on our trees. We are partnering with Southwood Landscape and Nursery, owned by
alums Joe Schulte ’67 and Ginny Cronk Schulte ’68, to make the most of our landscape donation gifts.
Information is available on the Bishop Kelley website and on Bishop Kelley Facebook.
► PLANNED GIVING is beneficial for tax planning as well as funding Bishop Kelley’s future.
One effective and convenient way for Bishop Kelley supporters to help the school grow its endowment is
through planned gifts. This year alone, four families have placed planned gifts totaling more than
$900,000 that will one day benefit the Bishop Kelley Endowment Trust. If this is something you’d like to
consider, contact The Advancement Group at 918.491.0079 or Doug Thomas, BK’s Director of Advancement at 918.949.8872 or at [email protected].
► THANK YOU to everyone who has supported Believe in Kelley, and to
our co-chairs, Teresa and Kurt Slagle. This annual fund helps with tuition
assistance and school needs not covered by tuition. Our goal is $425,000.
This year’s Believe in Kelley drive will also fund upgrades to our bus fleet
and tuition assistance. Every gift of any size is welcome! The drive extends
until June 30, 2014.
https://www.bishopkelley.org/about/giving-bk
► THANKS to the Class of 1989, our teams, volunteers, and all who are
making this year’s Trivia Night such a terrific event! Good luck on Saturday!
Br. “Gus” Augustine Kossuth, who served at Bishop Kelley from 1979 to 1984, entered eternal life
on January 11. He was a well-loved Director who worked with parents to bring the first Dinner
Auction to Bishop Kelley.
BK parent Mary Nichols Culver remembers, “Loved Br. Gus! He --along with
Mary Pat Fager, Patricia Cunningham, Debbie Walters and I started the girls
golf team at BK! He LOVED golf-- and played many weekends at LaFortune.
At our Class of '81 graduation, each graduate had a golf tee and as we shook
his hand, we each slipped him a golf tee--and he nonchalantly put each in his
pocket. He had almost 200 tees in his pocket that night- and got a big kick out
of it!” Alumni and others who would know him might remember him in their
prayers. You are also invited to consider helping to further educational ministry
in Br. Gus’s name by making a memorial contribution to Bishop Kelley High
School / 3905 S Hudson Ave / Tulsa OK 74135 or to the Christian Brothers of
Brother Gus Kosuth FSC the Midwest / 7650 S County Line Rd / Burr Ridge IL 60527. Thank you.
