The "Graduation Issue" of The Carolian student newspaper.
Our congratulations to its editor-in-chief, Alex Coccia '10, for
earning The Glenna R. Joyce Scholarship to the University
of Notre Dame!

Since its first graduating class in 1927, St. Charles has nurtured the minds and hearts of scholars, priests, entrepreneurs, artists, executive officers, doctors, legal professionals, and Church and community leaders. As the 144 members of the Class of 2010 walk the hallowed halls of St. Charles for the final time as students we know they leave having learned the value of education, the critical importance off religion and faith, the call
to help others, and the need to adhere to high ethical standards.
Congratulations Loyal Carolians!

As the 2009-2010 school year comes to a close
we look back on some of the outstanding academic and athletic accomplishments of its students:

Academic Highlights for 2009-2010:

Engineering Team Defends National Championship
Columbus St. Charles Preparatory School has repeated as Division III National Champions in the prestigious Jets Test of Engineering and Aptitude, Mathematics plus Science (TEAMS) competition. Another one of its teams finished as National Runners-Up and a third finished Fifth. In 2008-2009 the varsity “A” team placed 1st in its division; the varsity “B” team 32nd; the varsity “C” team 18th; and the junior varsity 5th in the national division rankings. This year St. Charles was one of only two schools nationally to qualify three teams in the top five of their division.

Seniors Earn 'Most Prestigious Recognition' Consideration
Jordan Feyko '10 and Andrew Krieger '10 were selected as two
of only 3,000 semifinalists for the prestigious 2010 Presidential Scholars Program. They were selected from nearly 3.2 million high school students expected to graduate in 2010. Feyko has since been named as one of only 560 finalists. Inclusion in the Presidential Scholars Program is one of the highest honors bestowed on graduating high school seniors.

Ohio Graduation Test: 100% Pass Rate Continues
For the sixth straight year - as many years as the test has been administered - St. Charles sophomores scored a perfect 100% pass rate on the Ohio Graduation Test.

Significant National Merit Recognition
Eight seniors were named National Merit Finalists while an additional 21 were recognized as Commended Scholars for 2009-2010. Another student was recognized as a National Merit Achievement Scholar.

“In-The-Know” Team Champions Again
In February the St. Charles In-The-Know Team claimed its second consecutive championship in the WOSU-TV quiz-show tournament, the school’s 7th overall tournament championship.

Athletic Highlights:

State Championship
Fall: After playing throughout the year at an elite level throughout the fall the St. Charles Golf Team won the Division I boys state golf tournament in October at The Ohio State University’s Scarlet Course. The Cardinals shot a 309 and edged out Cincinnati
St. Xavier (313), Cleveland St. Ignatius (315) and Columbus’ Dublin Coffman (322).

Winter: The St. Charles Swim team won its fifth consecutive Division I district championship before going on to finish fourth in the state meet held at Branin Natatorium in Canton. In the previous four years the team captured a state championship (2008) and finished as state-runners-up in 2006, 2007 and 2009.
The St. Charles Wrestling Team captured its first-ever Central Catholic League Championship. It scored 181 points to defeat runner-up Ready (166.5), Hartley (162), defending champion DeSales (141.5), Watterson (55) and Worthington Christian (28).

Spring: Currently the varsity volleyball program continues on in the semifinals of state competition. The volleyball team is seeking to defend its 2008-2009 State Championship!
