This school, as well as any school, has many expenses, like teacher salaries and tuition assistance. Some students may not consider how much goes into paying for these expenses, which is the job of this school\u2019s development department.
\nThe development department of this school has one main goal. \u201cWe raise money for tuition assistance and teacher salaries,\u201d said development director Mrs. Anne Carter.
\nThe development department helps this school unite with its past students. \u201cThe development department coordinates all the alumni events and maintains contact with the alumni,\u201d said Mr. Matt Coffield, president of the CHS Foundation board of directors. \u201cThrough their outreach to fellow alums, we are able to stay in contact with Catholic High alumni everywhere.\u201d
\nMrs.Carter and her division also contribute to many of the school\u2019s events. \u201cWe do the alumni dinner in October, in which we ask for donations and sponsorships,\u201d said Mrs. Carter, \u201c[We organize] Giving Tuesday, a mailout, and an annual appeal to donors, like grandparents, alumni, or friends of Catholic High. We also do the Rocket 5K race, and we do a fun little March Madness competition amongst the alumni that’s sort of based off of the NCAA March Madness tournament. We have classes against classes and decades against decades, and so you give money, 10 dollars a time, to get your team farther and farther ahead.\u201d
\nThe department had one stand-out event this year featuring The Heather and Poolboy Show\u2019s Adam \u201cPoolboy\u201d Dunaway. \u201cThe biggest thing I think came out this year is Giving Tuesday,\u201d said Mrs.Carter. \u201cIt was the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. We did videos where Jed Straessle and Poolboy switched places. Our goal was to raise $100,000, and that was a pretty ambitious goal for us. We\u2019ve never done something like that in one day. We reached it and surpassed it, raising over $130,000.\u201d
\nThe development division accomplished many goals this year. \u201cWe\u2019ve had a record-breaking year in fundraising,\u201d said Mrs.Carter. \u201cAll of our events have reached their goal and surpassed it. The alumni have stepped up and parents have given. It\u2019s been overall a great year.\u201d<\/p>\n
