Student Naming Contest For New "Learning Center" | |
|
Principal Jim Lower has challenged all current SC students to participate in a contest to name the future addition to the school's campus: a Learning Resource Center. This new muti-level, state-of-the-art building will support students well into the next century and beyond. A generous benefactor of St. Charles is calling on our student body
to find a fitting name for this impactful space and is offering cash awards totaling $10,000. The winning entry will receive $5,000, with $3,000 and $2,000, respectively, going to the 2nd and 3rd place entrants.

Graduates Sharing Professional Experiences | |
|
On September 8th, Brian Roscoe '91 spoke to students about his 20+ year career as an engineer supporting the United States Air Force as a defense contractor (a synthetic aperture radar [SAR] engineer).
He described it as the opportunity for someone without military experience to serve the country. He volunteered to support missions that took him to Al Assad Airbase (Iraq), the Marine training center at 29 Palms (CA), and Kandahar Airfield (Afghanistan).
Brian returned after 3 years to a more traditional defense contractor's role and now manages a program that provides data compression to Dept. of Defense missions across the globe.

Our thanks to Rev. Robert J. Kitsmiller ’86, Rector of St. Joseph Cathedral, for visiting school last week to speak with students about his own St. Charles experience, his life as a priest and the special need for priestly vocations.
Ordained in 2004, Father was one of four brothers (Tom ‘85, James ‘89, and Chris ’92) to graduate from SC. He attended Xavier University where he graduated in 1990 with a degree in classical languages.
He then spent eight years working as a paralegal at Vorys, Sater, Seymour & Pease LLP in Columbus before entering the seminary in 1999.

What is a "Carolian"?
There is a term, used exclusively within our school community, that you have heard many times; yet you might not know its origin or meaning: Carolian.
Our patron is Saint Charles Borromeo. "Charles" in Latin (our most iconic subject) is "Carolus." Latin scholars immediately recognize this as the masculine noun's nominative case form. To change the word into an adjective, “ian” is added to the stem, and it becomes "Carolianus"- related to Charles/one who follows Charles. In the shortened version: Carolian.
St. Charles’ first basketball and football players were referred to as the "Carolians." It wouldn’t be until the late 1950s when teams began referring themselves as the “Cardinals.”
