Dear Seton Catholic Family,

I am truly excited about everything that is going on here at Seton Catholic

Schools: the committed and talented teachers, enthusiastic students, and

many donors who help support the schools, particularly St. Elizabeth Ann

Seton parish community. We are here in the name of God, teaching and

equipping our students to encounter this world with love and responsibility.

This is our parish mission statement that I introduced on September 1, 2019:

As committed Christians of the Roman Catholic Church in Richmond, Indi-

ana, we are a community centered in Christ and rooted in the Eucharistic

communion, journeying together in our call to be holy, constantly discern-

ing the charisms of the spirit, making disciples of one another, seeking God’s kingdom in service, stewardship and

charity. Embracing this mission, our school will gear up soon to update the school mission statement as well.

At the Second Vatican Council in 1965, the Church articulated, "Holy Mother Church must be concerned with the

whole of man's life, even the secular part of it insofar as it has a bearing on his heavenly calling. Therefore, she has a

role in the progress and development of education," (Gravissimum Educationis, 1965, Preface). Here at Seton

Schools, we are concerned with the whole of our children’s lives. No aspect of their lives is left untouched that

makes them realize their best versions of themselves. For that reason, our mission of education remains pivotal in

the formation of the human person in cultivating values of fraternity and

friendship, so they can learn to be true children of God.

Again, in the light of the teachings of the Catholic Church, we want to see

the place of Seton Schools in the life of our students. “[Our school’s]

proper function is to create for the school community a special atmos-

phere animated by the Gospel spirit of freedom and charity, to help youth

grow according to the new creatures they were made through baptism as

they develop their own personalities, and finally to order the whole of hu-

man culture to the news of salvation so that the knowledge the students

gradually acquire of the world, life and man is illumined by faith” (GE 8,

1965). Seton Schools are committed to raising saints! We are dedicated

to teaching our students to live the truth with love. And, we are devoted to

forming our students in all spiritual, intellectual and moral spheres.

Forever grateful to God who seeks us and loves us in Christ, through his

Holy Spirit!

Fraternally yours,

Fr. Sengole Gnanaraj, STL

Dear Friends and Supporters of Seton Catholic Schools,

On behalf of our students, faculty and staff we thank you for your

willingness to share of your time, talent, and treasure with our

schools. Without your concern and devotion, Seton Catholic

Schools could not exist today. You know the importance of carrying on the mission of the Church through

Catholic education.

As we reflect on the 2018-2019 school year, we are reminded what a wonderful story we have to share with the

community. The hard work of our students and faculty is reflected in success both in and out of the classroom.

We are watching our alumni soar and know that opportunities provided to them at Seton Catholic have been in-

strumental in shaping their lives.

We are providing a foundation for young people that they are not getting other places. We are very excited about

the future and working with our new pastor Father Sengole. Thank you for always supporting our mission.

Thank you for always encouraging us. Thank you for always giving hope and possibilities to our students and our

community. We are blessed through you.

Peace in Christ,

John Markward Kim Becker

A Partnership to Save Lives

In May of 2010 Seton Catholic High

School and the Community Blood

Center (CBC) came together to form

a partnership to save lives. Since

that time, through the help of

students, staff, parents, parishioners

and community supporters, Seton

Catholic has helped to register 983

donors, collected 802 pints and

helped save approximately 2,406

lives.

Seton Catholic added to its blood

drive legacy in the 2017-2018 school

year by winning the CBC $1,000 High

School Leadership grant for “Highest

Percentage of Enrollment Donating”

for the third consecutive year. It

marked Seton’s fifth grant award in

the last four years.

“We have about 80 students in ninth

through 12th grade, and most of

those kids donate every time,” said

Principal Markward. “They’re the

ones that get everyone signed up at

lunch.” Principal Markward is a reg-

ular donor at Seton’s blood drives

too. “I think it is fun to give back,”

he said. “Back when I was 17 was

the first time I did it, and it’s some-

thing I still do.”

Seton Catholic is one of the smallest

of the 116 high schools hosting

blood drives in CBC’s 15-county

region, yet its dominance in the

“Highest Percentage of Enrollment”

category increases every year.

In 2017-2018 participation was 195

percent of eligible enrollment.

Seton won the same category in

2016-2017 with 175 percent, and in

2015-2016 with 152 percent.

Two grants we earned in 2014-2015

for “Second Highest Percentage of

Enrollment” and “Most Improved.”

Seton Catholic shares the record of

five grant awards with Fairmont

High School and Butler Tech, two of

the largest schools in CBC’s region.

Recently Principal Markward was

presented with a $2,000 check for

the 2018-2019 year donations and

had this to say, “We are very proud

of these accomplishments and

thankful to the commitment of our

community.”

Many of these funds are managed by the Wayne

County Foundation. We would like to extend our

gratitude to them for taking such good care of the-

se resources for us, so that we may continue to of-

fer this type of assistance to our students.

Our students also receive tuition support through The Institute for Quality

Education, a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) that manages funds

from individual and business donors that make the donation to the organiza-

tion and designate Seton Catholic Schools as the beneficiary school. We thank

Father John Luerman, Mr. Phillip Morgan, Mr. John Kutter, Dr. Sam Krutz,

and Mr. Anthony Cooper for choosing to support Seton Catholic through their

donations to this SGO during the 2018-2019 fiscal year.

We are deeply grateful for the generosity of those that have shared their

treasures with our students, so that they can pursue an education that allows

them to prepare themselves academically for life after high school, while at

the same time provides them with an environment in which they can nurture

their spiritual life and continue to grow closer to God. Thank you to all of our

generous donors.

of many, we are able to offer scholarships, and financial aid to many of the

students that currently attend Seton Catholic. Without that support, many

of our families would struggle to make the dream of a Seton Catholic

education a reality. The following funds have established scholarships and

financial assistance designated for students to use toward the cost of

During the spring sports season we

had some very strong performances

by our athletes. Our varsity softball

team with a 13-5 record, finished

second in the PAAC, and were sec-

tional runner-ups. Cassidy Frame,

Taylor Haager, Paige Klaine, and

Lydia Reichley all earned All-

Conference honors. Our varsity

baseball team finished with a 14-10

record. Luke Leverton was named

PAAC Player of the Year while

Tyson Bray, Louie Falcone, and

Vincent Falcone earned All-

Conference honors. In varsity

track, Erica Barker and Jaden

Swiderek were conference champi-

ons. Barker was also a sectional

champion and Joseph Lahmann

was a regional qualifier. The varsi-

ty tennis team also had strong per-

formances with the doubles team of

Suzanne Becker and Emma Ber-

ger ,advancing to the second round

of sectionals.

In junior high sports, both track

teams and golf had very solid sea-

sons. The highlight for the season

was having both boys’ and girls’

track teams win PAAC Champion-

ships. This marked the first middle

school conference championships

for our track teams.

The fall sports season is now upon

us. We will be offering the high

school sports of boys and girls

cross country, boys soccer, and vol-

leyball. We will be offering the

junior high sports of boys and girls

cross country and volleyball.

Erica Barker

@ Seton Catholic

since Kindergarten

“Mrs. Manchir is the

teacher that had the greatest impact

on me. Even though I was just in

second grade, Mrs. Manchir taught

me how to respect others that have

been through tough times and to not

judge others because we cannot

know everything that has happened

to them within their lifetime.”

Suzanne Becker

@ Seton Catholic

since 3rd grade

“The teacher who has

had the greatest impact

on me is Mrs. Hornak. I am very

interested in the medical field, and

the subjects that Mrs. Hornak teach-

ers are exactly what I need to learn

in order to become a successful doc-

tor. For me, she teaches in a way

that I think is the best way to learn.

Her ability to cover the material

well and incorporate labs and as-

signments is incredible, and they

help me understand the material so

much better. Her tests are challeng-

ing, and yet, when I study what she

has taught us, I feel very prepared.

Her teaching style for me works

very well, and her personality is one

that I enjoy, in addition to her class-

room environment.”

Emma Berger

“ I c h o s e M r s .

Schroeder because she may have

but she had given me knowledge

that I have used throughout high

school.”

William Brenneke

@Seton Catholic

since Preschool

“I chose Mr. Reichley

as the teacher who has had the great-

est impact on me in all of my years

at Seton Catholic because he has

inspired me and guided me through-

out my high school years. He is

very insightful and has an answer to

almost every question. He also val-

ues prayer in the classroom and does

a great job integrating Catholic

teaching into ordinary math courses.

Overall, he is a very good teacher

and does his very best to educate his

students.”

Joshua Brown

@ Seton Catholic

since 7th grade

“When I was younger

and taking Mr. Markward’s class, he

was always willing to stay after

school or help me after class as well

as coming in early to school to help

me if needed. Mr. Markward has

always looked out for me and gotten

me to the point of growth to become

a more mature person that is ready

for college. Whenever I either have

just wanted to talk or needed to talk,

he has always been there for me,

taking time out of his day to help me

through hard times as well as just

talk about things to laugh. He is tru-

ly a role model and made me grow

the most throughout high school.”

Brandon Chandler

@ Seton Catholic

since 11th grade

“Mr. Elstro is the

teacher who has had the greatest im-

pact on me at Seton. His was one of

my first classes at Seton, and he was

very welcoming and made the move

so much easier for me.”

American History class, one of the

hardest courses in the school. Mrs.

Dorsten having that faith in me gave

me enough confidence to go and

achieve my goals.”

Mary Hannah

@ Seton Catholic

since 7th grade

“I chose Mr. Schroed-

er because he introduced me to a lot

of things and always pushed us to be

better. I got a whole new array of

experiences and memories while he

taught us responsibility, knowledge,

and music. He built up our music

department to what it is today and

it’s amazing. His class was the best

class!”

Zachary Houseman

@ Seton Catholic

since 5th grade

“Mr. Berger has given

me a great apprecia-

tion for English and books.”

David Seitz

@ Seton Catholic

“I chose Mr. Reichley

because of his classroom environ-

ment. There was always something

to look forward to every day we

attended class.”

Gavin Smith

@ Seton Catholic

since 10th grade

“Mr. Reichley is an

amazing teacher and genuinely one

of the smartest people I’ve ever met.

Despite this, the most important

things he teaches are about life out-

side of the classroom.”

Jaden Swiderek

@ Seton Catholic

since 7th grade

“Mr. Berger knows

what is best after teaching upper-

classmen for many years. He has

led me in the right path and shown

me what I need to accomplish to get

to my specific goal. As well as do-

ing it for every other person older

than me since I began at Seton in the

7th grade.”

Chelsea Tate

@ Seton Catholic

since 5th grade

“I chose Mr. King be-

cause he makes me want to be

Catholic (maybe) and he makes me

want to be good.”

What exactly is a part-time job? Many of

you who are reading this may already know,

but for those that don’t: A part-time job is

where you go to a workplace such as

McDonalds, KFC, Taco Bell, or many other

establishments but you don’t work full

hours. Most students would say, “Oh, the

only benefit of having a part-time job is that

you get a little extra spending money,”

though, that statement is completely false.

There are so many more benefits to a part-

time job than what one would normally

think, and this article will tell you all about

those benefits.

BENEFITS OF A STUDENT HAVING A PART-TIME JOB

By: Kayla Kitchel, 10th Grade

YOU LEARN TO MANAGE YOUR MONEY When you start making your

own money, you tend to become more cautious when spending it. That cautiousness

eventually leads to you learning how to manage the money you make so you don’t run

out when you need it the most.

YOU GAIN TRANSFERABLE SKILLS You will gain skills that school

wouldn’t normally teach you on a daily basis such as working at a fast pace with other

people that you haven’t been around for most of your life. It pushes you to make bonds

quickly so that you can become a successful team in the end.

YOU DEVELOP INTERPERSONAL SKILLS With a part-time job, student

employment gives you an opportunity to learn how to interact with many different

personalities in the workplace whether the person is sweet, arrogant, independent, or

anything in between.

YOU GAIN INDEPENDENCE Once you gain your own sort of income and

have to manage your schedule in order to make it to work on time. Planning things out

gives you a sense of independence and that is a good thing to have in your daily life.

YOU LEARN GOOD TIME MANAGEMENT Since you have to plan around

your work schedule, you develop time management skills in order to make sure you get

everything done in time.

YOU GET ACCESS TO DISCOUNTS AND PERKS Since you are work-

ing for an organization, of course you may get perks whether it’s a discount or early

access to things in your industry.

YOU GAIN WORK EXPERIENCE It’s always a good thing to have work

experience. Colleges love to see that you have had some sort of job all while going to

school because it shows that you have good time management and you were willing to

push yourself out of your comfort zone in order to get the things that you want.

SETON CATHOLIC SCHOOLS’ BUDGET 2018-19

We are blessed to have committed families, parishioners and community members who are willing to share their

time, talent and treasure with us. As you look at the bar graphs below, you will see that tuition alone does not cover

salary and benefits for our faculty and staff, let alone all remaining expenses. It takes a village and without your

prayers and financial gifts we would not be able to carry out the ministry of Seton Catholic Schools. Jesus is the

reason for this school. Thank you for your support!
