Dear Seton Catholic School family,

The start of the 2020-21 school year has been bumpy and uncertain as it has

been for everyone in our nation and around the world due to the COVID-19

pandemic. What amazes me here at Seton Catholic is the dedication and pro-

fessionalism our teachers and students have demonstrated! Online learning

has not been new in academic fields, but it certainly is to school age chil-

dren! We began the year on August 12, 2020, as planned, but in online mode

only. Seton Catholic Schools has risen to the occasion when it comes to ac-

commodating new platforms of learning! I am grateful to everyone,

especially the members of our School Commission and the principals who

worked diligently on the reopening plan.

Archbishop Thompson, in his recent leadership briefing said, “Catholic schools continue the teaching ministry of

Jesus. They give witness to the Gospels and to the truth of our Catholic way of life. They help adults, youth and chil-

dren in diverse regions of our archdiocese come to a deeper understanding of God’s plan for human life and for all

creation. Catholic schools are powerful instruments of evangelization—helping members of the Catholic community

and others from many diverse faiths, cultures and economic backgrounds grow intellectually, personally and spiritu-

ally as members of the one family of God. Catholic schools are also vital to the social ministry of the Church—

through the assistance they provide to students and families in need but also in their commitment to teaching social

justice and to providing students with opportunities to serve others. Catholic schools contribute directly to the health

and vitality of the Church in central and southern Indiana. Along with parish religious education programs, youth

ministry and other means of lifelong faith formation and education, our Catholic schools provide religious education

classes, sacramental preparation, liturgical and prayer experiences, and opportunities for Christian witness and

service. They help form the faith community, and they challenge us to

look beyond our own needs to the urgent needs of individuals, families

and society at large.”

Yes, in our school we all are committed to continue the teaching ministry

of Jesus. We not only teach, but present our lives as witness to what we

believe and teach! Jesus, our Lord teaches us what God wants us to be

and his very life is the witness to what God, our Father wills for our sal-

vation. If there is one thing we get right here in our school, it is God’s

grace! For “it is by grace you have been saved through faith (Eph 2:8)”.

We teach our students to cooperate with God’s grace, which enables us to

respond generously to God’s voice. As always, we are proud that our

school is in the fore front of cultivating all human values as enlightened

by the divine values for our students, today and tomorrow!

Dear Friends and Supporters of Seton Catholic Schools,

You continue to amaze us with your willingness to share time,

talent, and treasure with our schools. Our students, faculty, and

staff thank you! Your support of the mission of Seton Catholic

Schools helps further not only the education of our students, but the formation of their spiritual life. They grow in

academics, and they grow in holiness with the help of your gifts.

The 2019-2020 school year was an unusual one. Our school year ended with the pandemic shut down. Questions

and confusion were prevalent, but our staff and families were not deterred. Everyone persevered while transition-

ing to school at home and learning how to use technology effectively. Although not ideal, the students were able

to continue learning and achieving remarkable things under odd circumstances. We marveled at their resilience

and fortitude! We continue to observe our Seton Catholic alumni doing well at college or in the work force. In all

of these settings, know that you have been instrumental in their successes!

Seton Catholic Schools offers a foundation in academics and faith that is often not seen elsewhere. Father Sengole

has celebrated his first anniversary with us; and he has been a driving force for preparing our students for a

faith-filled-life journey. Your support of our mission adds to our students’ lives. Thank you for that extraordinary

faith in us, for encouraging us, and for giving hope to our future. We are certainly blessed by you!

In His name,

MISSION STATEMENT

MINORITY POPULATION: 20.7%

STUDENTS QUALIFIED FOR FREE/REDUCED LUNCH: 38%

STUDENTS RECEIVING FINANCIAL AID: 77%

Seton Catholic Schools, a pre-kindergarten through grade twelve coeducational

ministry of St. Andrew, St. Mary, and Holy Family parishes, provide students of all

faiths and beliefs an environment of academic excellence sustained and enriched by

the Gospel values of love, faith, justice, and the inherent dignity of each individual.

The faculty of Seton Catholic Schools strives to guide all students toward fulfillment of

academic, personal, and spiritual potential in a loving and caring atmosphere. Seton

Catholic Schools nurture students to be lifelong learners and community leaders by

combining rigorous college preparatory course offerings with a rich program of extra-

curricular activities. Service to the community, as well as the cultivation of individual

gifts and talents, is an integral part of learning at all grade levels.

020

As we left February of 2020, we

rolled into the final stretch of the

senior year for the seventeen mem-

bers of the Class of 2020. Spring

sport seasons were just around the

corner, along with the spring band

concert, the final blood drive,

prom, graduation and all of the oth-

er anticipated activities and events

that close out senior year. The

events that played out from that

point could not have been forecast-

ed for the Class of 2020.

After several months of

“continuous learning” at home and

cancellation of all those “final high

school moments”, the Seton Catho-

lic High School staff was delighted

to come together with the Class of

2020 and their families on Sunday,

July 19, to celebrate their long

overdue graduation.

The Class of 2020 was the 15th

class to graduate from SCHS since

opening its doors in 2002. Mrs.

Shantel Cartwright, Academic Ad-

visor, was the master of ceremo-

nies for the event recognizing the

class of students for their achieve-

ments. 53% of the graduates com-

pleted their four years with an Aca-

demic Honors Diploma. 53% were

members of the National Honor

Society. Before graduation they

had accumulated 143 hours of col-

lege credit and completed 31 AP

courses. In total, the class of 2020

earned college scholarships and

grants valued at $1.1 million in

merit based scholarship offers.

Suzanne Becker, Valedictorian,

and William Brenneke, Salutatori-

an, both addressed their classmates,

along with Mr. Justin Burkhardt,

President of the Seton Catholic

Schools Commission.

Brenneke received the Archbishop

Tobin Christian Leadership Award,

the most prestigious award given

by the school. The award recog-

nizes a graduating senior who has

demonstrated excellence in schol-

arship, outstanding character, in-

spired leadership, and genuine gen-

erosity in service to the school

community.

These students are now spread-

ing their wings and flying

at colleges across the region.

We wish them well in all of

their future endeavors!

Evalynn Aleman

@ Seton Catholic

since 4th grade

Mrs. Harvey was my

first teacher at Seton Catholic. My

first year was rough because I was

new and didn't know anyone. She

helped me make friends and feel

welcomed, and has always been my

favorite teacher.

Grace Amyx

@ Seton Catholic

since 6th grade

The teacher who has

had the most influence on me would

be Mrs. Hornak because of the envi-

ronment in her classroom. Her class-

room structure has helped me

academically, as well as with time

management and organization in all

classes. Her class has also been one

I always look forward to because I

feel very engaged and interested.

Lastly, she has always been a

teacher I feel comfortable talking to

and being around in general. I really

respect her as a person and a teach-

er, and I'm thankful that I have had

the opportunity to learn from her.

Kara Amyx

@ Seton Catholic

since 6th grade

The teacher that has

had the biggest impact

on me is Mr. Reichley. He is not

only a great teacher and helps me

understand challenging subjects, but

has influenced me as a person to

remain close to God and to do good.

Olivia Amyx

@ Seton Catholic

since 6th grade

My favorite teacher

that I have had at Se-

ton would have to be Mrs. Cart-

wright. I had her for Preparing for

College and Careers class, and she

is also the school counselor. She has

always been really helpful to me and

understanding. She has also taught

me a lot about life.

Khiem “Denny” Bui

@ Seton Catholic as

an exchange student

2020-21

I like my math

teacher, Mr. Reichley because

he has already helped me a lot.

Mahlya Carter

@ Seton Catholic

since 4th grade

While being here at

Seton, the teacher that

has had the most influence on me is

Mrs. Hornak. Her classroom is very

welcoming, and she is always very

organized. We also do a lot of hands

on labs and activities that help us

understand the material we are

learning about.

Xen Cartwright

@ Seton Catholic

since 7th grade

Mr. Reichley has had

the greatest impact on me because

he makes the subjects of math and

science enjoyable and easy to learn.

Sam Casper

@ Seton Catholic

since 2nd grade

I started in 2nd grade

and decided to leave in 8th, but

when it came for me to start my

sophomore year I moved back be-

cause Seton felt like home to me.

Mr. Reichley has had the biggest

impact on me because when I’m

struggling in class or with other

issues he’s always willing to help

me through it and has made me

become a better student over all.

Colby Cox

@ Seton Catholic

since Preschool

The teacher that has

had the most influence on me is

Mrs. Dorsten because she taught me

how to be a good listener and how

to be a good student in general. She

also taught me that there is always

more than one way to look at some-

thing.

Jake Davis

@ Seton Catholic

since 11th grade

Mr. Reichly, simply

because he has taught me many

important life lessons and told us the

important aspects of life.

Jonah Falcone

@ Seton Catholic

since Preschool

I think the teacher that

had the greatest impact on me was

Mr. Gilbert. It was in his class that I

was really inspired to work hard in

school and do my very best. In his

class I decided that I liked math,

which is what I may be majoring in.

I also really enjoyed reading in his

class and doing the plays at the end

of the year.

Madelyn Gault

@ Seton Catholic

since Preschool

The teacher that has

had the most influence on me would

be Mrs. Hornak because she’s al-

ways been very organized in the

class room which helps me stay fo-

cused. Also, she’s very patient and

understanding. We do a lot of hands

on activities, such as labs and other

work in her class which I find help-

ful when learning about new things.

Andrew Himes

@ Seton Catholic

since 5th grade

Mr. Reichley has had

the most influence on me because he

has been not only a good teacher but

a good person who has a lot of wis-

dom to offer.

Olivia Howard

@ Seton Catholic

since Preschool

Looking back at all

the years here, Mrs. Dorsten stands

out for having impacted me in such

positive ways. I met her at the be-

ginning of middle school during a

Welcome Back night, and she was

so welcoming, telling me that I

could come to her for anything I

needed. She put my anxious seventh

-grade self at ease from that day for-

ward. Throughout my high school

years she has challenged me to

achieve my very best which has giv-

en me confidence that I am well pre-

pared for the next steps in my life. I

have been blessed by her high stand-

ards, which helped me grow into the

confident student I have become,

and I have always felt her support

and encouragement. Her guidance

and support have really contributed

to my love of learning, and, for all

these reasons, I am so grateful and

appreciative of Mrs. Dorsten.

Shelby Kutter

@ Seton Catholic

since Preschool

I'd say that Mr. Reich-

ley is the teacher that has influenced

me most because it is clear that he

prioritizes learning, but also stresses

the importance of good character.

He's part of what made me realize

what it really means to grow in ma-

turity and be a good person.

Nhien Le

@ Seton Catholic

since 9th grade

The teacher who has

influenced me the most is Mrs. Hor-

nak. She cares about the students

and always gives students good ad-

vice. She also pushes them to the

best of their ability. I love when I

talk and joke around with her; and I

appreciate all that she does for me

and the students in general!

Luke Leverton

@ Seton Catholic

since Kindergarten

Mr. Reichley has

always been someone who sets a

really good example, and he always

has a good classroom environment.

He’s someone I can look up to.

and when he is old, he will not depart from it. ~Proverbs 22:6

We are very blessed at Seton Catholic to have great support from

members of our community both past and present. Thanks to the

generosity 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 designat-

ed for students to use toward the cost of attending Seton Catholic:

SCHOLARSHIP DONOR THANK YOU

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 these resources for us

so that we may continue to offer this type of assistance to

our students.

Our students also receive tuition support through The Institute for Quality Education, a Scholarship Granting Organi-

zation (SGO) that manages funds from individual and business donors that make the donation to the organization and

designate Seton Catholic Schools as the beneficiary school. We thank Father John Luerman, Mr. Phillip Morgan,

Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Dickman, and Mr. and Mrs. Brett Guiley for choosing to support Seton Catholic through their

donations to this SGO during the 2019-2020 fiscal year.

We are deeply grateful for the generosity of those that have shared their treasures with our students so that they can pur-

sue 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.

since 9th grade

The most influential

teacher I have had is Mr. Reichley.

He has really helped me with math.

Kaylen Ruble

@ Seton Catholic

since 4th grade

The teacher that has

had the greatest impact on me was

Mr. Reichley because he helps us

learn difficult subjects, and he in-

spires me to be a better version of

myself. He also inspires me to have

a closer relationship with God.

Ryleigh Russell

@ Seton Catholic

since 9th grade

A teacher that has had

great influence on me would be Mr.

Markward. This is because he has

encouraged me and believed in me

even when I didn’t throughout the

last year while I was taking multiple

math classes. He is an adult that

cares about what was going on in

our lives - school and otherwise.

Naedeine Stanley

@ Seton Catholic

since Preschool

Mr. Brown has had the

most influence on me because he

has a very hands-on teaching style,

and that has helped me learn and

understand more effectively.

Hope Wysong

@ Seton Catholic

since 5th grade

The Seton Catholic

teacher that has had the

most influence on me, even

though all of them have had

an influence, would be Mrs.

Leverton. She helped me to

get to where I am today by

pushing me to get my work

done and get good grades, not

because she wanted to see me

struggle, but because she

knew I could do it if I truly

put my mind to it.

Ashly Lopez Hernandez

@ Seton Catholic

since 5th grade

The teacher who has

had the most impact on my life is

Dan Reichley. When I got to the high

school and met Mr. Reichley in 7th

grade, I knew that I could go to him

whether it was for school or advice.

It’s been amazing seeing him year

after year, and I am deeply saddened

that this is the last year I have with

him before I go off into the real

world. It has been wonderful getting

to learn so much from him even if

his puns aren’t that funny. I love

knowing that new students will get to

be as impacted by him as I have

been. I look forward to having class

with him every day because I know

that no matter what kind of day I’m

having he’ll bring a smile to my face.

Katelyn Meeks

@ Seton Catholic

since 5th grade

The teacher that has

had the most influence on me has

been Mrs. Dorsten because she is

the best history teacher that I have

ever had. She has inspired me to

become a judge someday and to

fight for our liberty and rights as

U.S. citizens.

Audrey Mosey

@ Seton Catholic

since Kindergarten

Mr. Reichley has had

the greatest impact on me during

my time at Seton Catholic. He in-

spires me to be successful in my

academics and to also have a strong

faith.

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 pray-

ers 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!
