October 5, 201214 yr Not a CCH grad, but have always thought they build successful young men better than any school I know. The fraternal part of CCH breeds success that goes well beyond graduation.
April 12, 201313 yr Per Cov Cath's Alumni Newsletter: "Matthew Klein '05 On Duty at the Masters After graduating from UK with a degree in Soil Science in 2010, Matthew Klein headed to Georgia. It was on his birthday during his senior year that he received a call from Augusta National to make him aware of an opportunity to work on their crew. Matt spent his first year taking care of holes 11, 12 and 13, better known as “Amen Corner”. Where else would a good Catholic boy be assigned? After spending two years at Augusta, Matt accepted a position of assistant superintendent at Olde Florida in Naples. Matt is in Augusta working on the crew during the Masters. Former crew members are often called to duty this week to help keep the course pristine. Matt has also had the honor of being on the crew in Valhalla during the Ryder Cup. Yes, the grass is always greener when Matt is in charge."

July 13, 201313 yr Author Another '05 grad ends his bachelor days today as Rob Grimes gets married. I've known Rob since about 2001. Great kid. Fun kid. Easily one of the best d-linemen in the last decade at CCH. Best wishes to Rob and his bride. And any video of Marty Grimes on the dance floor will be worth its weight in gold.
August 12, 201313 yr Here's a great article about Cov Cath "alum" Nick Seligman, who died last week. He was a great, great guy. If you've been to any Cov Cath football game, basketball game, or bingo night in the last 20+ years, you've more than likely seen him there. He's one of the most dedicated boosters that the school has ever had. We lost a great one in Nick. http://nky.cincinnati.com/article/AB/20130809/NEWS0103/308090144/Max-Nicholas-Seligman-Cov-Cath-booster Also, from Cov Cath's website: Nick Seligman, committed CCH volunteer, Passes Away This past Tuesday, Nick Seligman, committed CCH volunteer passed away. Nick is the father of Jason '96 and grandfather of Max '16. Nick served Covington Catholic in many ways. He worked Bingo week after week, helped at the concession stand at football and baskeball games, served drinks at the Sports Banquet and attended most sporting and school events. Nick had a great love of CCH and its students. He will be greatly missed for his generosity of spirit and good heart. Please keep Nick's family in your prayers. Visiting hours for Nick will be 1-5 PM at CCH on Sunday, 8/11 and the funeral will be Monday, 8/12 at 11:30 AM at St. Agnes.

October 8, 201511 yr Brad Wilder '97 - Graduated from UC, Masters from UC. Investment manager with Fifth Third. Lives in NKY with his wife and two boys. Won the Cincinnati Met this past summer. Brad was inducted to the Cov Cath Athletic Hall Of Fame back in 2011 (baseball and golf). If he'd made the finals for the Mid-Amateur tournament he would have gotten an invite to play at The Masters.
