We know that there are distinguished graduates, especially women, who deserve a place in the school's hall of fame, but we need your help. If you know of someone from your class or anyone who should be recognized for their accomplishments, please nominate them. Remember this not just a sports hall of fame. You can go to the school
website and for complete details. If you have questions, contact us

Alumni of the Month - George Pavlic (class of 1991)
After graduating from North, George went on to Bowling Green for his undergraduate degree in statistics and to Pitt for an MBA in Marketing. He is
Business Analytics Sr. Director with
Management Science Associates, Inc. in Pittsburgh. He and his wife, Beth have three children. George's father is a NC class of 1948 (also a George) and his sister Lynne is a class of 1986 grad.
Favorite Classes and Teachers
"George Lisjack - set the foundation for my statistics/analytics career
Walt Quinn - just a real down to Earth character who made English Lit fun for a math guy.
No offense to any of the other outstanding teachers at North in my day! I have great memories of most, if not all, of them.
Anything math, but specifically statistics."
Favorite Memories of North Catholic
"
Getting harassed by the North Side kids; my horrible mullet; Sam Sebastian day; watching Tamar Ziady do the cha cha in Mr. Jan's class; Chris Sabo, Mike Sell and I giving a McDonald's gift certificate to Mr. DiLallo and then him taking us to lunch to use it!; after almost hitting
Walt Quinn in the face with a flying pen, hearing him say "maybe next year you'll be old enough to play in the sandbox"; 10 person trip to Ocean City MD after graduation (can't believe our parents let us!)"
World Events You Remember
"Croatian War of Independence (and Mr. Stutz telling me there was no such thing as Croatia when I wrote a report on it J); Gulf War and shocking news coverage of bombs exploding; Pens winning their first Cup at the end of senior year and attending the party at Three Rivers Stadium."
Where and With Whom Did You Hang Out While at North?
"McKnight Lanes, Showcase Cinemas (may they both rest in peace), Dek Star North; McCandless swim club tennis courts playing hockey (until told by police we were trespassing even though he preferred that over us being out and causing real problems);
w/ Chris Boston, Chris Sabo, Mike Sell, Dan Kenaan, Jon Deeds, Matt Babash, Rich Dietrich, Jay Attanucci, Dave Morris, Dave Filipowski, Jim Stover."
What School Events Are Most Memorable?
"Senior prom; boat dance; morning announcement "in bowling club action last night..."; football games at J.C. Stone Field and chanting "put in (Kevin) Gauntner!"; Dr. DeTrude announcing new dress code where boys would have to wear ties."
What Makes You Proud of Your Days at North?
"It all starts with being most proud about my decision to attend NC. My father was in one of the first handful of graduating classes, but my parents never forced me to choose NC. I saw at home the pride he carried, all those years later, from being a North alumnus. It was an easy choice for me to attend there rather than NA...or the dreaded Central! Beyond that, I am proud of the friendships I made and those that are strong enough to have survived the last 28 years. I am also extremely appreciative of the superior education I received that was deeply rooted in strong Catholic religious values."
Any Final Thoughts?
"
Just a note of regret that I didn't truly get to experience the full North/Central rivalry like it once was. The rivalry was virtually gone by the time I attended. My father-in-law, Tom Leonard, graduated from Central in the late 60's and his best friend, the guy who persuaded him to play football at Cornell, is NC football legend Santo Laquatra. I enjoy listening to their stories of the heated rivalry they experienced, and think it's amazing how they have been the best of friends since. It's too bad that rivalry has dissipated over the years."
George, Beth and the kids at Christmass

Military Legacy Scholarship
|
|
The school has initiated a Military Legacy Scholarship in honor of all alumni who have served in our nation's military forces. The goal is to raise $20,000 to $25,000 to provide a $1,000 scholarship annually. The scholarship will be awarded annually to the student provided certain benchmarks are met. Every four years (or sooner) it will be awarded to another incoming 9th grade student. Congratulations to this year's recipient, Griffin Floyd.
Contributions have surpassed the $11,000 mark. All money will be used to provide educational opportunities to a student. To honor those who served, please consider a contribution in any amount to the new Military Legacy Scholarship. If you wish, you may make a contribution in someone's honor/memory. Make checks payable to North Catholic, write "North Catholic Military Scholarship" in the memo, and mail to:

Kathy Monti Memorial Scholarship
|
|
Kathy Hickey Monti's limitless love and passion for helping others was apparent to everybody she met. Her pride for North Catholic began in 1973, when her high school closed and she enrolled in the first co-ed class at North as a junior. Kathy led the charge to keep her school's basketball team together. As a standout guard and the very first team captain of North's first women's basketball program, Kathy and her fellow Trojanettes began a women's basketball dynasty that is alive and continues to thrive today. Following her graduation from North in 1975, Kathy played basketball in college and served as team captain and leader. Soon, she was recruited to come back to North and take on the role of Assistant Basketball Coach for the girl's team and with Coach Don Barth, her mentor, friend and former coach, led them to win multiple state championships. When North opened in Cranberry Township, Kathy continued to volunteer her time at the new school that she loved so dearly until her last breath. In 2017, just before her death, Kathy was voted unanimously into the North Catholic Hall of Fame. Kathy will long be remembered for her impact on hundreds of lives as a teacher, an assistant basketball coach and female role model for girls in athletics.
To continue Kathy's legacy and mission in life of helping others, a scholarship has been established in her name. More than $20,000 has already been raised. The purpose of the Kathy Monti Memorial Scholarship is to provide financial support for a young woman who possesses the same leadership qualities that Kathy demonstrated in her life. In order to finance this scholarship and celebrate Kathy's life, we hope you can join us by donating HERE to raise the necessary funds. Or you can send a check made payable to North Catholic with "Kathy Monti Scholarship Fund" in the Memo and mailed to North Catholic High School, 1617 Route 228, Cranberry Township, PA 16066.

Military Alumni

Please visit our website to see an updated listing of military alumni.
If you or a family member served in our country's military and are not listed, please advise Amber Nicotra Morrison
so that she can add your name to the list.
Thanks to many of you, our list of alumni who have served in our nation's military services has grown to almost 1,500. We thank all of you who have taken the time to help us with this endeavor. Perhaps you have noticed that recently an asterisk has been added next to name of more than two dozen individuals on the list. This indicates the individual died while in the military, either Killed in Action or a non-battle death. There may be more alumni who died while serving. If you know of someone that should have the asterisk added next to their name please let us know. We will always appreciate your efforts to help us update this honor roll of our alumni.
Thank you to all of our alumni for their service to our country!

Planned Giving

Planned giving is a wonderful way to prepare for the day we depart this life and enter into God's kingdom. By planning ahead, you can provide opportunities to young men and women by supporting North Catholic. Planned giving allows us to help continue the work of Christ and pass on our traditions and Catholic Marianist values. Gifts can be specified in one's will as either a dollar amount of a stated percentage of one's estate. A growing number of alumni have taken this step and discovered a great sense of joy and satisfaction that they are helping families. If you are interested in finding out more, contact Amber Nicotra Morrison in the Development Office at
amorrison@northcatholic.org or by calling 412-321-4823, x 529.
