“The world tells us to seek success, power and money;
God tells us to seek humility, service and love.”
- Pope Francis
Part of our mission at Carroll has always been to educate our students
to be more and do more. Through service to their families and others,
Matthew Sableski ‘91
our students will become responsible citizens and leaders of tomorrow. We want our students to see themselves as part of the global community, a community that needs
their gifts and talents, and that they carry with them into the world a higher sense of purpose and
the potential for doing good.
The willingness to work for the benefit of those in need without compensation or recognition of any
kind is a quality that can be seen in nearly every member of our community. It is found in students
accumulating thousands of hours of service at activities such as Action Appalachia, Christian
Service Work Camp, Tops Soccer, Shanty Town, PATS Camp or tutoring at Ruskin Elementary and
St. Anthony School. It is found in our parents and alumni who understand the importance of
stewardship and know that in order for us to achieve our goals, we all have to use the gifts God has
given us for the good of this community. It is found in our teachers who consistently go above and
beyond the call of duty to ensure that our students are safe, confident and prepared for the future.
These activities are vitally important, but I am most impressed with how I see service embedded
in the daily activities of the people in our community. Simple actions like holding the door for
someone in the hall, helping pick up someone’s books if they drop them, saying “hello” to visitors,
looking out for others that are sick and down, and saying “thank you” to those that help us through
each day are ways in which we show a respect for the basic human dignity of every person.
By doing acts of service, both large and small, our students learn that something beautiful comes
with giving back to one’s community. Maybe it is the satisfaction of helping those who are less
fortunate. Maybe it is seeing people from all different walks of life smile with that same smile of
gratitude, or perhaps it is gaining a sensitivity to others that is only gained through community
service. At Carroll we believe that service has the power to transform us
all into more open-minded and compassionate people with a willingness
to sacrifice for others - just as our Savior did for us!
It’s a great day to be a Patriot!
In His service,
Matthew Sableski ‘91

PAPAL PILGRIMAGE
to Philadelphia
Before the sun rose on the last Friday in September, 32 Carroll High School students and 15 other members
of the Carroll community left Dayton on a charter bus and made a trip that some called an experience of
a lifetime.
Those 45 people traveled more
than 500 miles to Philadelphia to
partake in a weekend celebrating
the Catholic faith with Pope
Francis during his first visit to the
United States.
Carroll was the only Dayton area
high school to sponsor such a trip to Philadelphia for the Holy
Father’s Apostolic Journey to the United States. The Papal
Pilgrimage to Washington D.C., New York and Philadelphia
was part of the Festival of Families which culminated in a
Papal Mass Sunday. All 32 Carroll students attended Pope
Francis’s speech at Independence Hall Saturday.
Carroll senior Lindsey Harper was one of the students who
made the trip.
“I grew closer to a lot of people on the trip. Being around
so many people in Philadelphia who are there for the same
reason, no matter how different we might be, is what I
remember most about the trip.”
With demand for hotels in Philadelphia at historic levels,
03
the Carroll group camped in New
Jersey with other student groups
who chose to sleep in cabins rather
than miss Pope Francis’ visit.
“I was in awe. It was so cool to
be able to see the leader of the
Catholic church up close.”
Saturday’s trip to Independence
Hall to take in Pope Francis’ speech
at the Festival of Families brought
the group closer to the Pope than they ever imagined.
Harper estimates they stood about 30 feet away from him
during the procession to Independence Hall.
“I was in awe. It was so cool to be able to see the leader of the
Catholic church up close.”
“His message is especially powerful for young people,”
Campus Minister and Service Coordinator Melissa
Fisher, ‘83, said. “We are excited to reinforce the Holy
Father’s message at Carroll High School and in the Dayton
community.”
The group stayed in Philadelphia Sunday while Pope Francis
led Mass before heading back to Carroll. Harper says Pope
Francis isn’t the only one who made a lasting impression.

“We were in line for Mass Sunday, and we saw a group of people drumming and
singing. I joined in, and so did the rest of the Carroll group. It really showed me
how easy it can be to praise God even in moments when you feel bothered or
upset by something.”
ACTION APPALACHIA The tradition continues...
It’s one of Carroll’s proudest traditions, but it starts from the ground up each year. Its members are all from the
senior class, but none of the students have been involved in the project in years past. People from all over Dayton
contribute to its success though its impact is felt hundreds of miles away from Carroll.
Action Appalachia is the biggest service project Carroll
students perform. Each fall, students involved with the
project collect nearly 14,000 pounds of donated toys,
clothes, household items and food (enough to fill a large box
truck) for the residents of Campton, Ky.
fall of 2005 when her son Dan, ‘06, was helping collect and
pack donations to the project. She took over as the project
advisor in 2009 when Carol Lacombe retired.
“I saw the good that it did and the needs that it met. It
has always been part of the senior class [since 1996], and I
wanted the tradition to continue. What we take is what they
use and live off of. Every year, we fill that truck, and I don’t
know how we do it.”
Seniors began gathering donations in October. Each day
after school, they spent hours moving the items by the cartload from the loading dock to a large storage room where
they sorted and boxed the items. As the donation deadline

MEET LT. NICK MEMERING
Class of 2005
Lt. Nick Memering, ‘05, still starts his days the same way he did at Carroll. He springs out of bed at 6 a.m.,
eats a quick breakfast and hops in the car for a long commute to where his day really begins.
But one aspect has changed.
Instead of sitting in a classroom as a high school student,
he’s standing in front of a whiteboard preparing military
students for a day of learning how to fly helicopters.
“I’ve had to be a student in my career, and Carroll prepared
me for that. I’m 28 years old and still carry flash cards, and
that’s something I picked up in Word Clues class. Carroll
sets you up with more than knowledge; it teaches you how to
learn and to use skills dynamically. When you’re operating
a helicopter with so many moving parts, just knowing the
steps to get you out of emergency situations doesn’t help
unless you can understand ‘why’ as well, and that might
save your life.”
The Navy and other branches of the military are looking for
more than good grades in their future officers, Memering
noted. He credits Carroll’s broad offering of activities
outside of the classroom as a key aspect of his time at Carroll
that made him an ideal recruit.
The dream of being a pilot was something Memering carried
in his heart and his mind growing up in Xenia and attending
St. Brigid Elementary School, but the terrorist attacks on
September 11, 2001, just weeks into his freshman year at
Carroll, guided Memering to a career serving his country.
A Pensecola, Fla. resident, Lt. Memering serves as an
instructor at Naval Station Whiting Field in nearby
Milton, Fla. After briefing his students in the classroom,
Lt. Memering oversees two or three flights each day
piloted by two or three students. Each flight can last up to
three hours.
Memering’s students who complete their training at Whiting
Field earn Wings of Gold, identifying them as naval aviators.
They go on to pilot aircraft for the United States Marine
Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard. International students
from allied countries go back to Saudi Arabia, Italy, Spain,
Singapore, the Netherlands, and other nations to serve their
home countries.
Even though he’s now the teacher, Memering says he still
uses study habits he developed at Carroll.

“I remember exactly where I was on September 11. I was
sitting in Mrs. Levy’s Honors Biology class with the TVs on
and watched the towers fall.
That’s what cemented my
desire to serve. Everyone
does it in their own way,
and I’ve been fortunate
to combine something I
love doing with something
I’m passionate a b o u t :

“I applied for ROTC, the service academies, and the coast
guard academy. I was accepted by a few places I applied,”
Memering said. “Carroll gave me every opportunity to do
it many different ways, and I was able to choose my path.”
Memering’s journey from Carroll has taken him around the
world to serve his country, but he encourages others to use
their talents to serve in different ways.

cop, teacher, a nurse. Even being a good citizen is serving.

SPOT L IGHTS on our Patriot Student Community
A brief look at some of the current highlights from within and around our amazing student community.
ACADEMICS
» Tower Challenge
Mr. Lakin’s Advanced Drafting class participated in the
annual Tower Challenge. Each of the four teams were
given a 6” x 6” styrofoam block, a box of fettucine, a roll
of tape and their imaginations to create the tallest, freestanding tower. After 30 minutes, the first place team consisted of Chase
Fedkow, Sam Janson, and Zack Westgerdes with a tower height of 55 inches.
Coming in second was the team of Paul Miller III, Nick Keating, Sam Fortner,
and Zachary Carnevale with a tower height of 42 inches. Each
team claimed chocolate as their prize!
» A Lesson Plan for Disaster
Carroll’s Dr. Christina O’ Malley published a lesson
plan on the National Earth Science Teacher’s
Association (NESTA) website that showed how
principles of STEM education played a vital role in
relieving one of Dayton’s greatest natural disasters.
Great Dayton Flood Inquiry Unit: Celebrating
the Centennial of a Defining Flood in American
History appeared in the fall 2015 issue of the NESTA
journal The Earth Scientist. According to the
publication, the lesson plan “uses experiential and
place-based learning to educate high school earth

District, Dayton, Ohio.
unit. Students use historical records and maps to
calculate the rate and volume of flooding and are able to use this knowledge critically to evaluate flood mitigation systems
in other locations.” Dr. O’ Malley designed the course materials to extend beyond STEM education. “There are a lot of crosscurricular components to it, depending on how teachers choose to use it. Science teachers
can talk about geological hazards and floods, you can talk about geography if you want to
bring in social studies and history, and economics was a big part of what was happening.
It’s a very rich lesson plan. When you work with students you want to make sure that you’re
giving them the best quality and the best content that you can. A lot of what I do is working
together with other teachers to make sure what I’m doing will help the students learn the best
and do it in a way that’s interesting. Making something that is interdisciplinary is going to
help students who might not like the science part of it.” The historical aspects of the lesson
plan feature two of the most prestigious Daytonians who answered the call to serve their
fellow citizens in the city’s time of greatest need. “The people in Dayton who are famous
businessmen from that era like John Patterson and Charles Kettering pulled stuff together to
help people during the flood. They started making canoes at NCR. They were trying to figure
out how to get people out of flooded areas, so they stopped making cash registers and started
making boats with whatever wood they could find on hand.”

» Economic Leadership: A Patriot’s Week at Yale
Through a generous grant from the Raiff Family
Foundation, Stamatina Tolias (‘16) was able to spend
a week at Yale in July learning how to lead change
through economic policy.
“[The program] taught us about how poverty and
corruption play a huge role in the economics world.
It’s not only about money.”
“[The program] taught us
about how poverty and
corruption play a huge role
in the economics world. It’s
not only about money.”
Stamatina spent the first part of each day in
Yale classrooms learning different principles of
economics. In the afternoon, she and the other students went through leadership training and had free time to explore the Ivy
League campus and city of New Haven, Conn. She sees herself as a neurosurgeon after finishing college, but Stamatina says the
lessons she learned at Yale can apply to almost any career path. “Many people whose goal it is to be in the medical field focus a
lot on the medical field and that’s it. If you want to be a leader and progress and make a step forward in any of those fields, you
have to be thinking of the global impact, and economics is a big part of that.”
Stamatina wrote a thank you letter to the Raiff Family Foundation for financing the entire experience. One day, she hopes to
sponsor a similar experience for students. “That’s what I want to live out in my life. If I ever reach a point where I can provide
another person a service or education like that,
that’d be awesome. If I didn’t have this opportunity,
I never would have gone to Yale.”
After an anonymous application process here at
Carroll, a committee of teachers chose Tina
to apply directly to the program. The Foundation
for Teaching Economics organized the Economics
for Leaders (EFL) program which “gives promising
students the skills to be more effective leaders and
to teach them how to employ economic analysis
when considering difficult public policy choices,”
according to the program’s website.
Carroll High School continues to work closely with
the Raiff Family Foundation, looking for similar
experiences to enrich the education of our students.
» The Perfect Score:
Rachel Ollier (‘16) scored a perfect composite score on the ACT Exam.
Rachel took the test in June and September. In September, Rachel earned a perfect composite score
of 36. Rachel says taking the test more than once helped her reach a perfect score the most. “It helps
with timing. Timing is one of the hardest aspects of the test, and people
find themselves rushing to finish everything in time.” Studying for
the test’s format was another key for Rachel. “I studied from a book
the first time. It breaks down the format of the test. I also read as
much as possible. The reading section takes up a lot of time, and
reading as much as possible helped me to have more time to spend
answering questions.”
“It’s an accomplishment, but I don’t feel like it makes me smarter
than my other classmates. There are other students in my classes who will take the test and not
earn a perfect score, but they’re just as smart as I am.”
Rachel is still weighing her college choices but plans to study medicine.

» National Unity Day
For one day, the color orange was as plentiful as Red, White, and Blue at Carroll High School. On October 21 as part of National
Unity Day 2015, Carroll participated in several activities to unite for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion in an act of solidarity
against bullying. Orange is the designated color for National Unity Day, the culmination of National Bullying Prevention
Month in October. Students and faculty wore orange, the school celebrated a unity-themed Mass, and campus ministry placed
statements of affirmation written on orange paper on lockers. Students signed an orange banner during lunch hour as a pledge
to stop bullying. A Donor presented the school with orange mums, displayed during Mass as a reminder to stand vigilantly
against bullying. Carroll High School partnered with Party Pleasers to light the front of the building orange at night. Party
Pleasers also lit their offices orange at 4140 Linden Avenue to participate in Unity Day.
» El Salvador Encounter
This past summer, 12 Carroll students traveled with Mr. Jim Murray, Mr. Jeremy Kohler, and Miss Tara Knopp for a reverse
mission encounter to El Salvador where they had the opportunity to spend time with citizens in the poorest part of the country
as part of the CRISPAZ (Christians for Peace in El Salvador) program. The group visited the Hospital Divina Providencia and
its terminally ill patients. A unique ministry program, the El Salvador Encounter aims to foster reflection on the meaning
of working for justice rather than working solely through traditional charitable programs. “Instead of going and painting
a wall or helping in a orphanage for a day, we learn about how we can do things effectively in the United States when we
come home,” Miss Knopp said. “We do missions every day
here in [Dayton], but this is going and learning about how
you can do things differently in the United States and help
small businesses in El Salvador.” Senior Gavin Tom says
this immersive service mission changed his outlook on life.
“Before the trip, I was a really selfish person. Now, I really
appreciate the things I have and advocate for some of the
social changes that are necessary.
“Think about all the things we have here, how wealthy we
are as a culture, and how selfish we are. Then, we go into a
different place where they are so much poorer and give so
much even though we don’t really deserve it.”
The Campus Ministry Department has another El Salvador
Encounter planned for the summer of 2017.

» The Marching Patriots present: “The Space Between”
The Marching Patriots wrapped up another award
winning season with a performance at Lucas Oil Stadium
in Indianapolis. This year’s show, “The Space Between,”
featured original music composed by Carroll High School
Music Department Chair Carl Soucek and original drill
written by Assistant Director Ryan Griffin, ‘97. The band
and guard swept every first place award at Mid States Band
Association Class AA competitions at Bellbrook, Lebanon
and Centerville. The ensemble also placed second overall
at MSBA Class AA Championships and were the highest
rated group from the state of Ohio. The color guard was
recognized with the Best Color Guard Award. The Music
Department’s winter and spring groups have begun
scheduling their competition seasons: The Winter Guard
plans to attend two Winter Guard International Regional
Championships and World Championships at the
University of Dayton Arena from April 7-9. The jazz band
and jazz combo will perform at the Beavercreek Weekend
of Jazz from March 4-5.
» “Headin’ for the Hills”
The Freedom Players had some good ol’ fashioned family
fun with this year’s fall play, “Headin’ for the Hills.”
Cornelia Wellington Heister (played by Emily Klepacz) and
her sister, Dorthea (Maria Schlegel), are wealthy orphans
whose only living relatives are a hillbilly family who run a general store in Lone Mule, Tennessee. Marissa Thayer was the
student director, and Hannah Barnes, Sarah Connair, and Edward Wolff were the Stage Directors. Aurielle Barber and Emma
Wright were the Costume Managers. The cast and crew consisted of over 40 Carroll students in grades 9 through 12. On March
18-20, The Freedom Players will present the spring musical, “The Addams Family.”
» Singin’ in the Holidays
Junior Thomas McVicar helped the Riverside Area Chamber of Commerce kick
off the Christmas season at their Hometown Holiday celebration. McVicar, a selftaught singer and guitar player, performed holiday favorites and a few original
pieces as part of the event’s Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony. You can catch
his performances at the Lebanon Opry House and other community events in
the Dayton area. Thomas has even had a call-back audition for the TV show “The
Voice,” just missing out on an invitation to perform in Los Angeles. Thomas’ most
recent accomplishment was the winner of Carroll’s Call for Talent.
