BRIDGING GENERATIONS OF EXCELLENCE CAMPAIGN
,
If you ask yourself“Was Bishop Loughlin important in my life?”and your answer is “YES!”
We ask you to read more about The Loughlin Foundation
Three Schools, One Foundation:Bridging Generations of Excellence Campaign
What’s in A Name? A lot.
Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School, run by the De La Salle Christian Brothers since 1851, began as St. James Parish School – the first Catholic
school in the Diocese of Brooklyn. St. Augustine (1969) and Bishop McDonnell (1973) sent many students to Loughlin when they closed their doors after many decades of educating young men and women. Today, with dedicated volunteers from each school, Loughlin proudly carries on their heritages — publishing newsletters and hosting reunions and other events.
Graduates of all three schools boast men and women successful in business, politics, education, healthcare, and religious life —and much more. And, graduates of all three schools – Lions, Bishop’s Girls, and Lancers – have been extraordinarily generous over the years. “One Foundation” refers to Catholic high school education and the unique common bond of young men and women who grow up in Brooklyn. It also refers to the vital Loughlin Foundation.
“Bridging Generations of Excellence” communicates that the campaign brings together several generations for a common purpose. Bishop Loughlin has served families proudly for 164 years offering an outstanding education. We have active graduates from the 1930s to our recent graduates from the Class of 2015. While we are committed to building a financial bridge to make Loughlin an even better school moving forward, we hope that this campaign represents something greater. Most Loughlin families (as were St. Augustine and Bishop McDonnell) are the working poor and middle class, doing the best they can to make a better future for their children. There is much more that binds us than separates us. This campaign highlights that unique bond.
We call upon Lions to support your alma mater. We call upon Lancers and Bishop’s Girls to continue their support, and their schools’ legacy through this campaign to support Catholic education in Brooklyn.
The campaign name “Three Schools, One Foundation: Bridging Generations of Excellence” has both a literal and a symbolic meaning. The three schools that we refer to are Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School, St. Augustine High School, and Bishop McDonnell Memorial High School.
From the PresidentNow is the moment for those of us who have
been blessed with a sound education to ensure
that future generations will reap the same
benefit. Whether we hail from St. Augustine,
Bishop McDonnell, or Bishop Loughlin what
matters is the legacy we leave for those who
follow. “Three Schools, One Foundation”
captures what is at the heart of this campaign.
This moment is unique in Loughlin’s history.
The academic, extra-curricular, and athletic
programs are growing. Facility enhancements
have been realized in the completion of the
Cozzi-Murray Performing Arts Center, the
Lancer Recording Studio, and the Fitness
Center. Competition for students is keen.
Loughlin is committed to be the school of
choice for a wide range of students. In order to
live true to the mission to provide a Christian
and human education to the young, especially
the poor, Loughlin will need the necessary
resources to meet the challenges ahead.
Our Mission
Bishop Loughlin’s mission is to ensure
an exceptional, Catholic and Lasallian
education is accessible to deserving
young men and women. We foster
academic success, build character,
and develop future leaders by
stimulating and informing a student’s
quest for intellectual, spiritual, moral,
and civic development.
Much remains to be done. The building is aging
and needs infrastructure repairs to stand proud
for another 83 years. The rapid pace of technology
requires that we respond to immediate learning
needs while providing the economic resources
for future developments that will enhance and
challenge subsequent generations of students. Most
importantly, Loughlin must remain accessible to the
families we serve and would like to serve. Rigorous,
values-rich Catholic education runs the risk of
becoming a luxury available only to the affluent.
Few of us would have been able to achieve our goals
without the education we received at our respective
schools, which were subsidized over many decades.
Now is the time to make a difference for generations
to come. Please be as generous as you can.
Live Jesus in our hearts. Forever.
Bro. Dennis Cronin, FSCPresident
In 2001, in conjunction with the 150th anniversary of the school, The Loughlin Foundation
was formed to support Bishop Loughlin through the provision of scholarship aid and
specific grants for capital improvements. The Foundation seeks to enlist the support from
alumni of Bishop Loughlin, St. Augustine, and Bishop McDonnell to provide Loughlin the
resources necessary to thrive for generations to come. The Loughlin Foundation does exist
separate and apart from Bishop Loughlin under its own charter, but its sole purpose is to
support the mission of Bishop Loughlin.
Many educated by the Christian Brothers internalized the motto, Signum Fidei (Sign of Faith).
While Latin is known to be a classic language, this motto still lives in the hearts of Loughlin
students and alumni today.
Thanks to careful stewardship and management, The Loughlin Foundation has distributed a
total of $1,760,000 in student scholarship aid and specific capital projects. Their assets as of
June 30, 2015 have grown to a total of $3,413,584.

Three Schools, One Foundation — Bridging Generations of Excellence Campaign
What it Means. Where the money will go.
NAMED SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS Our student body is primarily African
American and Latino. Fifty-five
percent live below the poverty level,
and more than 50% live in single-parent
households.
And yet, typically 99% of our graduates
achieve a New York State Regents Diploma
each year, 27% a Regents Diploma with
distinction, and all are accepted to colleges of
their choosing.
Simply put, we offer a first-class education
for working class families in New York City
— many of whom are among the working
poor. Our families are involved and care
deeply about education for their children. By
their sacrifice they are investing beside us in
the future of their children.
Although Loughlin and the Board of
Governors limit tuition increases to the
extent possible, the fact is that the “actual
cost” of educating a student for one year
exceeds $12,000, compared to approximately
$22,000 in the NYC public schools. With
tuition in 2015-2016 set at about $9,000, our
families face a great challenge. More than
half of our families depend on a scholarship
or tuition aid in some form.
Partial Tuition Gift ı $10,000*
Half Tuition Gift ı $20,000*
Full Tuition Gift ı $40,000*
* All payable over four years
You can help in a profound way by choosing to support a student at
Loughlin. By creating a Named Scholarship Fund through the
campaign, you will make it possible for a hardworking student
to attend for four years.

Creating an endowed scholarship fund is a
unique and wonderful way to provide an
opportunity for a student to attend Loughlin.
Some donors choose to name a Fund ‘In Honor’
or ‘In Memory’ of a loved one although most
bear the names of the generous alumni who
establish the Fund. The future of our institution
can be secured with the establishment of
additional endowed scholarship funds through
this campaign.
You may also establish an endowment fund
through a planned gift. Our planned giving
website (www.blmhs.planmylegacy.org) provides
information for remembering Loughlin in your
Will or establishing an insurance policy or trust.
Several of our Justinian Society members have
chosen to establish endowed scholarship funds in
their Wills.
In establishing an endowed fund, your
support will allow at least one student
to attend Loughlin each year. You may
create an endowed “Purple Scholarship
Fund” a “Silver Scholarship Fund” or a
“Gold Scholarship Fund.”

The building at 357 Clermont Avenue has been
an educational beacon and has served thousands
of students well for 83 years. To continue to do this
today, our faculty, staff, and students treat the facility
with great respect, and as a result the building remains
in very good condition. Alumni, parents, and other
visitors regularly comment that the building is clean
and impressive.
However, time has taken its toll in several areas.
Through this campaign, we strive to address necessary
repairs that will ensure building integrity and function
for another 83 years.
A top priority, brick pointing of the building, is unseen
by most, but nevertheless a great need. We have
postponed parapet work due to the significant cost.
Completion of this major repair is expected to cost
about $1.5 million and will keep water from damaging
our valuable infrastructure.

MEDIA & TECHNOLOGY
Our grand Auditorium has been
witness to many commencement
ceremonies sending Loughlin graduates
on to a great many professions. We
treasure this grand historic space, and our
intentions are to preserve and enhance
it as much as possible through this
campaign. New lighting and sound systems would
allow the theater and music departments
to function at a more professional level
and will increase revenue generating
rental opportunities. An HVAC system
would allow the Auditorium to be used in
the summer months.
THE LOUGHLIN AUDITORIUM
THE LOUGHLIN
GYMNASIUM
The gymnasuim is a vital part of the
Loughlin experience for all students.
Gym class, basketball, volleyball, cheerleading,
step, dance, and many other activities take
place throughout the year — all on the
original 1932 wood floor.
Additionally, each year thousands of
visitors watch our Varsity Boys and Girls
Basketball teams compete for city and state
championships. Conservatively, an estimated
70,000 visitors have the opportunity to see
our historic and unique “third floor gym.”
Prospective students and parents are among
them.
New bleachers, a modernized scoreboard,
fresh paint, entryway improvements, trophy
cases, and new hardwood flooring are
needed. The campaign will strive to make
many or all of these improvements possible!
THE LOUGHLIN GYMNASIUM
Our school yard is a source of great Lion
pride. World class athletes have raced on
our track and generations of students have
used the yard for practice and play. Harsh
winters and extensive use have taken their
toll and we hope to make some important
improvements including new surfacing and
paint.
The batting cage needs to be replaced and
our handball courts are in need of repair.
Painting new lines for our multi-use school
yard is also a campaign goal, especially with
the introduction of our new Soccer and
Lacrosse programs.
The possibility of replacing our old “mondo
track” is a goal. These renovations, and
other aesthetic upgrades, will strengthen
our image to prospective students, our
Fort Greene neighbors and the Loughlin
community in general.
THE LOUGHLIN SCHOOL YARD
Bishop Loughlin has made great strides in
recent years to offer our students the very
best in technology. Currently, our classrooms
are equipped with SMARTBoard technology and
the building has Wi-Fi technology to provide
internet access to devices wirelessly throughout.
We expect to become a “one student to one
device” (tablets and laptops for each student)
school in 2016 - 2017. We offer state-of-the-art
computer labs to our students.
However, in order to prepare our students for the
rigors of college we still have much to do. New
and exciting technology evolves at a rapid pace
and we are challenged with modest resources to
keep up. The fourth floor computer lab, which
primarily benefits our Arts Department, is in
need of a full renovation and the purchase of
additional Apple iMac computers will enhance
our art and design programs.

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY,

The opportunities for both college
scholarship dollars and exciting careers
are vast in these areas.
Through the campaign, Loughlin aspires
to create a state-of-the-art program
preparing students to become civil
engineers, data analysts, biochemists,
and much more.
Bishop Loughlin is excited to partner with the leading
organization in STEM programming, Project Lead The Way
(PLTW). PLTW, a nonprofit organization, is the largest science,
technology, engineering, and math (STEM) program in more
than 8,000 schools across the nation. When implemented, our
students will participate in a curriculum to help better prepare
them to compete for jobs in science, technology, engineering, and
math — with college students from any background. The program
will also help us continue to compete for, and attract outstanding
young students.
Our goal is to offer courses in Engineering and Biomedical Science
in the Fall of 2016. We expect to develop courses in Aerospace
Engineering, Digital Electronics, and more. We have developed
a partnership with our neighbor and national STEM education
leader, Brooklyn Tech. The opportunities for both college
scholarship dollars and exciting careers are vast in these areas.
We believe that moving boldly forward into STEM education is
necessary for a college preparatory high school today.

Commissioner.
Q. What did Loughlin do for you/your
family?
A. Loughlin gave my family another place
to call home. Both of my children attended
Loughlin with students they knew
since kindergarten. Due to significant
involvement, I made many friends with
other parents and faculty, and I am proud
to say I’ve known some for eight years.
Loughlin was a safe haven for my kids,
somewhere I knew that they loved, and
experienced love. Teachers and staff took
an interest in their lives and went above
and beyond to know them personally. My
son, who was honored to volunteer as an
assistant basketball coach last season, still
glows when he comes through the doors
of Bishop Loughlin — and he graduated
four years ago!
Q. Do other families benefit from the Loughlin aid and scholarship program?
A. Yes. I know several parents who
were able to send their child to Loughlin
because of the scholarship and aid
programs. They are extremely grateful
their child received a private high school
education, something they did not believe
would be possible. I am grateful too.
Financial aid assisted our family through
the tough times. My daughter graduated
this June, and now she and my son are
both in college.
Why is the campaign important?
So many parents are faced with the
tough decision to send their children to
schools they are unhappy with because
of a system that exists today that limits a
parents’ choices. Some are not fortunate
enough to be able to afford a private high
school. Loughlin is the answer to so many
of these families’ prayers.
Q. Why is it important that Loughlin remains the Catholic school of choice in Brooklyn for many years to come?
A. The history and tradition! So many
graduates send their children to Loughlin.
I definitely plan to send my grandchildren
to Loughlin one day. I wouldn’t consider
anywhere else!

lead better lives of dignity
and freedom.

The success of the Three Schools, One
Foundation Campaign depends upon
the generosity of the entire Loughlin
community.
Our broad campaign goals are to increase
educational opportunity and excellence
and make capital investments. School
leadership has put considerable thought
into determining our areas of greatest need.
Carefully, we have laid out goals that will
serve the needs of our students and families
long into the future.
We call upon alumni from Bishop Loughlin,
St. Augustine, and alumnae from Bishop
McDonnell to contribute toward our vital
goals. We ask you to support this campaign
because the mission of St. John Baptist
De La Salle matters. Catholic education

matters. Bishop Loughlin and its 164
years of excellence matter. The legacies
of St. Augustine High School and Bishop
McDonnell Memorial High School matter.
Providing an excellent Catholic education to
parents who want the best for their children
matters. We aspire to build a sustainable
future for Bishop Loughlin through this
successful campaign and we ask you to join
us.

Access is our number one priority. Many of our
families struggle to afford a $9,000 tuition. Despite
our great efforts to provide the highest quality education
at the lowest cost to a family; the burden is high. In some
cases, the family is a single-parent home with multiple
children.
Here are a few examples of a “typical family dynamic” for a
Loughlin family:
• A mother works as a home health aide by day and
is a mother of four at night. Her annual salary is
$35,000, and a grandparent is asked to assist with
childcare and extra money.
• Mom works in the hospitality industry and dad works
The common thread
among these families is
the concern for quality
education in a safe
environment….and a
willingness to sacrifice
mightily for their
children’s education.
several part-time jobs; they have three children between
the ages of 12 and 18. Combined, they earn $55,000.
Both families will struggle to pay tuition. Approximately
55% of our students’ families live below the poverty level
despite holding one or more jobs. Too often, our two-
parent families have a parent out of work for a period of
time while the tuition bill looms large. Full tuition paying
families also make a tremendous sacrifice (once again,
often relying on grandparents) to attend Loughlin.
It was the mission of De La Salle in the 17th century, and it
is our mission today, to provide an outstanding education
especially for the poor. This is why the heart of our

A POSITION OF STRENGTH
Bishop Loughlin remains one of the larger Catholic
high schools in Brooklyn and Queens.
Our students feel a strong sense of family and security,
and they are secure in the knowledge that the faculty cares
about them as individuals.
Our students perform well — 99% of Loughlin students
graduate each year and an average of 98% go on to a
college of their choosing with more than half receiving
scholarships.
Our enrollment is strong, but we have much work to do.
We believe that reaching the goals of our campaign will
ensure and secure our success. Families must have access.
Our students must be as prepared as possible when they
arrive on a college campus, and that means exposure to
state-of-the-art technology and a curriculum that includes
Engineering, Biomedical Science, and more. The building,
which has withstood the many tests of time, needs work.
We can make these things happen! Our students deserve
the best.
Alumni donors are a
big reason for our
position of strength.
Between $1.5 million
and $2 million is raised
each year from alumni
and friends of all three
schools. The annual
fund is the cornerstone
of our success.

In my senior year, I took a bookkeeping
course with Brother Charles Felix, a no-
nonsense taskmaster, but a wonderful and
dedicated man. I found in that course a logic,
discipline, and structure that eluded me
in Latin and French. This course allowed
me to get a job with International Trucks,
a company that paid my way through St.
John’s at night for an accounting degree,
and Fordham for an MBA, which opened up
other doors. Loughlin was my foundation.
Q. What might you say to others who
might be in a position to support the
campaign?
A. Giving is complicated as it is very
personal. I am fortunate to be in a position
of having to think about charitable giving
Why Do I Give?
Q. What inspired your support of the
campaign?
A. At some point in life I looked in the
rear view mirror to see what shaped me,
and as I did that, Loughlin kept popping
up. Winning a “scholarship” to Loughlin
instilled confidence in a 13-year old boy, a
son of Irish immigrants, along with taking
the subway from Jamaica to Brooklyn each
day, meeting kids from all over Brooklyn
and Queens. I also feel that I benefited from
Loughlin’s support and guidance during the
general craziness of the 60’s: huge changes
in civil rights, Vietnam, the Kennedy
assassination and the sudden death of my
father in 1964. I realized that Loughlin
was a constant during change, trouble and
turbulence. I will never forget my entire
homeroom class showing up at my dad’s
CONNELL “CHRIS” CANNON ’65
funeral to support me. That stays with me
to this day.
My hope is that my help with the campaign
will be a way for Loughlin to be there for
other young people.
Q. What did Loughlin do to prepare you for
a successful career and a good life?
A. As I think about this, the thing that
kept coming up was that Loughlin gave
me a second chance, allowing me to repeat
my junior year because of my academic
difficulties. Had they not given me this
chance to regroup and catch my breath,
I’m not sure where I would have landed.
I became a “five year man” but was given
a chance to better see myself and life in
general.
and estate planning, a quality problem as it
is said. Those I love are taken care of, but I
feel I also want to remember and help those
institutions that were there for me many
years ago, but who today are still in the
powerful leadership position of inspiring
today’s and tomorrow’s young people. In
my mind that defines what Loughlin did,
does and will continue to do with the help
of many.
It is a “thank you” for being there for me. As
I think about it, great universities such as St.
John’s and Fordham have large development
departments, and large donor bases.
Candidly, Loughlin doesn’t and can use my
help. I can make a difference. I hope others
reflect and are able to feel some of what I feel.
Q. What is it about Loughlin that
inspired your commitment?
A. My involvement with a number of urban
Catholic schools, as a student sponsor and as
a volunteer in the areas of communications
and development, has given me a deep
appreciation of the significant role these
schools play in their students’ lives. Schools
like Loughlin do much more than provide
a quality education to prepare students to
succeed in college and beyond; they also
instill values that guide and shape their
lives.
The faculty and staff at Loughlin work
tirelessly to provide students, many from
economically and socially challenged
backgrounds, with a truly life-changing
experience. I believe that Loughlin provides
what may be the only real opportunity
many of these students will ever have
to transform their lives, presenting
opportunities for them to realize their full
potential, and make important contributions
to their communities.
Q. Your estate gift to the campaign is
significant. Why did you make this
decision?
A. I recognize that these results do not
come easily. They require the dedication,
hard work and encouragement of Loughlin’s
teachers and administration. They also
require our significant financial support to
maintain this level of achievement.
That’s why I welcome the opportunity to
support the campaign, with a commitment
to contribute to the schools’ scholarship
endowment through my will. In addition,
it provides a most fitting way to establish a
meaningful memorial in my parents’ names.
Q. What can you say to others who might
be in a position to support the
campaign?
A. I encourage other graduates and friends
to join me in supporting this vital campaign
to help ensure that Loughlin can continue its
rich and proud heritage of providing a solid
educational foundation for future students.

THE LOUGHLIN IMPACT

NATHALIE CORLETT (HODGE) ’03
Loughlin’s culture created a welcoming and positive place for me as a young person. I could be adventurous during Lasallian Youth retreats, curious in Physics Club, introspective in English class, and creative in art class.
The caring and nurturing attitude of the guidance counselors and teachers at Loughlin continue to be a positive force in my life. My experience at Loughlin helped me to build a thoughtful approach to faith and responsibility that is still with me today; it definitely shaped my approach to life and work.
Nathalie earned her Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology with a minor in Religion from Wesleyan University, and a Master of Science degree in Social Work (MSW) from Columbia University. Nathalie has made a career of launching citywide, start-up initiatives in collaboration with non-profits, universities, and city government. Her current project, “CUNY Next Steps”, is made possible through a new partnership between the New York City Department of Correction and CUNY Central Office.

“The people are what made the difference for me during my time at BLMHS. Countless names come to mind when I think of my experience. Faculty members actually cared for me, motivated me, and showed me that I could be successful, while challenging me at the same time. The guidance department was bar none and supported me even when I wanted to do crazy things — like applying to 21 colleges.
Growing up in the East Flatbush section of Brooklyn, I never thought it would be possible to be a Harvard Law School graduate. Sometimes, I am shocked and surprised at how far I have come. But it goes to show the power of family, love, and mentorship. When people are invested in your success, the sky is the limit.
DERRICK DAVIS, JR. ’08
Derrick received a bachelor’s degree, magna cum laude, from Morehouse College, and a J.D. from Harvard Law School in May 2015, where he served as an executive board member and student attorney in the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau. He has recently joined the highly regarded Cleary Gottlieb law firm in NYC, focusing on corporate and financial transactions.
Derrick and Nathalie are just two examples why we chose the words “bridging generations of excellence” as part of our campaign name. Loughlin graduates young men and women of this caliber each and every year. We know that they will someday build bridges for future students.

A quality education for everyone has been of central importance throughout Bishop
Loughlin’s history. It was critical to my success in college, law school, and my
professional career — and it is why I am happy to support this capital campaign.
As the son of a postal worker and mother with modest means, this school was an
excellent place to learn and develop personal principles that were important to me
in life. It is my hope that the capital campaign will assure the continued existence of
this institution and that Loughlin will produce many future leaders for our city and
country.
