President’s Letter
Happy New Year SkyHawk family!

As we embark on 2018, we continue to celebrate our 25th year of making a difference in the
Omaha community.

We kicked off the first semester with the largest enrollment in school history, and the highest
attended and fundraised Angel Flight. We celebrated state championships in volleyball and boys
cross country, and we were state runners-up in girls cross country and football. Academically,
we saw the math team win state in the probe competition and in quiz bowl. Two students were
named National Merit semifinalists.

One of the last impressions of 2017 was our school-wide Advent drive. The fierce competitive
spirit that is the hallmark of our SkyHawks definitely came out in an impactful way. More than 2,000
nonperishable food items, 3,500 diapers, dozens of winter coats, hats and gloves, and more than
$1,100 worth of new toys and personal care items were collected by Skutt Catholic homerooms.
“Drive” is a fitting term, as I believe all SkyHawks have a drive to MAKE A DIFFERENCE daily.

Beginning in January, we will be conducting a comprehensive survey of the entire school                Jeremy Moore
                                                                                                         President
community to study the feasibility for a capital campaign. This planning study will enable us to
determine potential support for proposed projects as we look to improve and expand our campus
to meet the demand for quality, Catholic education. If we, as a community, choose to move
forward, the planning study will also provide information to identify prospective campaign leaders
and to establish a realistic campaign goal.

Be on the lookout for a letter providing additional details about the prospective campaign goals
and information about how to participate in the study. I value your feedback, and your insights will
help plan for the future of Skutt Catholic. The Steier Group, our development firm, will compile
this information and present it to Skutt Catholic leaders. At that time, we will make an informed
decision on how to move forward.

This process is extremely important, and will form and impact the future of our school. I encourage
each member of our community to participate. I appreciate your support and generosity with our
advancement efforts. These initiatives allow our exceptional staff to deliver the best Catholic
education possible to our students.

Please review the great accomplishments the school has achieved during the past few months
in this issue, and celebrate the many milestones our alumni have achieved as well. I welcome
everyone to attend the many events we have planned this semester, and help us continue to
celebrate the 25th anniversary of the school, “Making a Difference since 1993”.

God’s blessings always, and Go SkyHawks!

Jeremy J. Moore

Letter from Alumni President
Greetings from the Skutt Catholic Alumni Association!

As you know, this year, we celebrate Skutt Catholic’s 25th Anniversary. Many of you have seen
the transformation our school has taken over the years. It has been a journey! For others, your
adventure has just begun. My hope is that Skutt Catholic has made a lasting difference in your
life - whether it’s been one, ten, or 25 years since your graduation.

Over the past 25 years, more than 3,100 students have graduated from Skutt Catholic. In order
to best serve our alumni, the school, and the Skutt Catholic community, the Alumni Association
is exploring new directions. Our goal is to engage our alumni in the Skutt Catholic community.
We want to provide opportunities for our alumni to gather, get involved, and see all the amazing
things happening at Skutt Catholic today.

Our board consists of representatives that span the 25 years of the school’s history. Along with
myself, our Skutt Catholic Alumni Association board members include: Amy Moylan Sauser ‘00,                Matt Nelson
Elizabeth Kraemer ‘02, Kelsey Sievers Huber ‘09, and Austin Evans ‘13.                             Alumni Association President

Please contact us if you would like to be more involved with the Alumni Board or if you have any
suggestions. We’d love to hear from you. Email us at skuttcatholicalumni@gmail.com. You can
also follow us on Facebook; we have an alumni page and an alumni group.

Have a wonderful start to 2018! We hope to see you soon,

Matt Nelson ‘07
Alumni Association President

Alumni Homecoming Picnic
Skutt Catholic welcomed alumni of all ages and their families back to the school during
Homecoming week again this year, with the annual Alumni Homecoming Picnic. Prior to
the homecoming football game, the auxiliary gym was packed with alumni and their families
enjoying a fried chicken dinner.
The bounce house was popular
with the little ones, while the adults
spent time catching up with their
former SkyHawk classmates.

The Alumni Association Board
members were on-hand to greet
guests and survey alumni about
what types of future events the
association should sponsor.

Around

The start of the school year is an exciting time for all student-athletes. This year, Skutt Catholic has a record number of students in our
building (770), and we had a record number of kids (275) participate in one of our 19 NSAA-Sanctioned Fall Sports.

We are also blessed to have nearly 50 activities and clubs at Skutt Catholic. Many students take advantage of our other activities and
clubs in the fall (Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, Robotics, Cheer, Dance, Mock Trial, Play Production, and Academic Decathalon,
to name a few). We are very proud of our percentage of student involvement and will continue reaching for our goal of 100% student
participation in a fall activity.

This is our legacy . . .

It is not easy to live up to our mission statement on a
daily basis; however, it is very fulfilling to be part of a                                      Trevor Barton
community that is accomplishing so much. We are                                                  Vice Chairman & Building and

Skutt Catholic is also very fortunate to have 25 years of support from its parents and the       Brian McGrath
community. While most are not alumni, the Skyhawk experience truly has its origin in our
                                                                                                 Advancement Committee Chair
founding fathers, parents and community supporters who have helped to shape Skutt
Catholic into what it is today. Our student’s education and development toward becoming
Christian leaders is directly dependent upon such support and guidance. During the Open          Kevin O’Malley
House, new families get to experience our sense of community and commitment; this feeling        Technology Committee Chair
makes others want to join the SkyHawk family.

I believe Skutt Catholic’s success, in the past and in the future, is directly dependent upon

the support of our entire community. We are also blessed with so many contributors who
provide their support in so many different ways. Whether it be on the board of directors or
a committee, or participating in a parent group, or financially supporting the school, or even   Tehseen Desa
just participating at school activities, a lot of incredible people have adopted our motto and   Jill Feilmeier
are selflessly part of MAKING A DIFFERENCE in the lives of our students. This selfless           Joe Flaxbeard- Alumnus
