Annual Report - Niagara Catholic Junior
Fall 2015 2014-2015 annual report Niagara Catholic Jr./Sr. High School We have accomplished much.. because of YOU Dear Fellow Alumni and Friends of Niagara Catholic, NIAGARA CATHOLIC BOARD OF TRUSTEES 2014-2015 Chairman Judi Nolan Powell ‘68 Vice Chairman John Barber ‘72 Board Members Robert Castellani ‘60 Michael Cerrone ‘71 Zachary Clark ‘10 Joseph Colosi ‘64 Gary Coscia, ‘72 Daniel DiPofi ‘80 George Edwards ‘71 Rev. Robert Hughson Joanne Penzotti Krolewski ‘71 Marie Navarroli Kropp ‘68 Jolene Lambert ‘10 Mark Onesi ‘70 John Staschak ‘71 We thank these men and women for their service to Niagara Catholic! Niagara Catholic Jr./Sr. High School (716) 283-8771 |www.niagaracatholic.org President/Principal Ronald K. Buggs On behalf of our governing Board of Trustees, I bring warm greetings to you. Scanning the roster of our Board is somewhat akin to perusing the yearbooks of Bishop Duffy, Madonna, and Niagara Catholic. Almost to a person, we are a Board comprised of Alumni and proud of it! Why? Perhaps for the same reason many of you continue to support us with your generous annual contributions. We recognize the value of the Catholic education we were blessed to receive at our Alma Mater and we want to do all in our power to continue that legacy for future generations. Leaders are nurtured and developed within the walls of our school. Our graduates consistently excel in obtaining scholarships to topranked colleges and universities…including our close partner Niagara University. Our Alumni include prestigious professionals and community leaders on the Niagara Frontier…and across the nation. To my fellow alumni in the area, I encourage you to introduce a young person in your life – your child, grandchild, niece or nephew – to the institution that established YOUR Catholic values. And if you are so inclined, consider supporting their future education with a financial commitment to one of our scholarship funds or to the student support fund. I might recommend that you do what I and my five siblings did this past summer to celebrate our mother’s 90th birthday. We established The Dick & Pat Nolan Scholarship Fund that will support future students of single parents. We, of course, will honor any criteria you wish to set. Niagara Catholic is affordable, offers a nurturing and safe environment, and, as a snapshot of the roster of NC Alumni will reveal, a degree from Niagara Catholic is a stepping stone to future professional careers and community leadership positions. Thank you sincerely for your past generosity…and your future investments in our important work. Best personal regards, Director of Advancement and Alumni Relations Michael Volpe, NC ‘09 The Annual Report is published by Niagara Catholic Jr./Sr. High School’s Office of Advancement and Alumni Relations.

Because of you, we are a better place, and are able to continue to provide a top quality Catholic education to many students in Niagara County and surrounding areas. Your personal sacrifice and philanthropy allows us to provide tuition support, improved technology, and scholarships to students from all over Niagara and Northern Erie counties. These students come through our doors every day with an opportunity to grow intellectually through excellent academic programs, socially through interactions with others both in and out of the classroom, and spiritually in daily recognition of God’s presence in their lives. These opportunities are available to them because of your generosity. Each school year we welcome new students to new classes and welcome back those who are returning. We welcome them to the “Family” of NC. We take great pride in the “Family” that is created each and every year at Niagara Catholic. Our graduating seniors regularly talk about how they have become part of this “Family,” which has become a very important part of their lives now and in the future. Many of you have expressed that same sentiment to me about your high school years. We are proud of our students, our programs, our school, and certainly our alumni and benefactors. The next seven pages of this report are filled with the names of hundreds of donors to Niagara Catholic. Whether you chose to donate to the student support fund, the scholarship fund, or the technology fund, please know of our sincere appreciation and our promise to continue to ensure that Catholic education is alive and well in the Niagara area. Our faculty and staff also recognize and appreciate your help and support. We encourage you to visit our campus. Be on the lookout for the new athletic center coming soon. We have accomplished a great deal together….and we are on the move to greater things in the future! As we begin our celebration of 40 years of Niagara Catholic, and continue to keep the traditions of St. Mary’s, Madonna, and Duffy alive, we again say thank you!! God Bless, Ronald K.
