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

Page 3: Loughlin view book

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.

Page 4: Loughlin view book

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.

Page 5: Loughlin view book

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.

Page 8: Loughlin view book

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.

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.

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

Page 17: Loughlin view book

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.

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.

The opportunities for both college

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.

Page 21: Loughlin view book

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.

Cheerleading squad or running a Parent

Association meeting, she can be found

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!

The success of the Three Schools, One

the generosity of the entire Loughlin

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

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.

Page 30: Loughlin view book

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.

Page 31: Loughlin view book

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.

Why Do I Give?

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.
