St. Joe's Grad Receives Diploma For Christmas
It was a gift Jeanne Schenkel Calhoun '61 wasn't expecting under the Christmas tree.
"Never has any gift, I am aware of, moved her as much as this gift," said Jeanne's daughter, Beth Calhoun.
Beth’s mother graduated from St. Joseph Commercial High School but had never received her original diploma, until this Christmas.
2015 Last 5 Luncheon
Memories, laughs, chili and soups were in full supply as members of the Classes of 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 gathered for the Last 5 Luncheon on Thursday, December 17.
"This school gave me my education so I wanted to come back," shared Faith White '15, who now attends Wright State University.

Thank you.
Those two words were said hundreds of times by students on Friday, November 20 as they met with scholarship sponsors.
The annual scholarship breakfast was an opportunity for sponsors to meet the student recipients of their scholarship. 
1930 Julienne Graduates Reunited
It was a reunion dozens of years in the making.
“Mary Margaret, Mary Margaret!” Wilhelmina Dix said in excitement as she reunited with classmate Mary Margaret Toohey on Tuesday, November 10. “I would recognize you from anywhere!”
The pair are the last known living graduates of the Julienne Class of 1930. Mary Margaret, who lives at the St. Leonard Living Community, recently told her daughter-in-law, Audrey Toohey, that she was hoping to reconnect with Dix.
Lucas Pfander Remembered in Memorial Race
Viva La Vida, or Live the Life, was something Lucas Pfander embodied. On Saturday, August 15, more than 150 members of the CJ community kept Lucas’ memory alive by participating in the eighth annual Lucas Pfander Memorial Alumni Race.
“You would think over an eight year period, the further you get away from it, the interest may go down, but it hasn’t. For us, that’s heartwarming,” said Greg Pfander, Lucas’ father.
Five Receive Distinguished Alumni Awards
Chaminade Julienne will honor its 2014 class of Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame inductees the evening of Thursday, Oct. 2. The program begins at 6 p.m. with dinner to follow at 7 p.m. at NCR Country Club in Kettering.

Run the Pfander Race at CJ or Anywhere
It’s been six years since he last set foot in the hallways of Chaminade Julienne, but the spirit of Lucas Pfander is alive and well within the building -- just ask former classmate, and now alumni relations coordinator, Ms. Teresa Spanel ‘10.
“To come back four years after graduating and see just how deeply Lucas has and continues to influence members of the CJ community is inspiring,” said Ms. Spanel, who returned to her alma mater to work in the development office this July after graduating from the University of Dayton.
2013 Distinguished Alumni Awards Banquet
During the evening of Thursday, Oct. 10, Chaminade Julienne celebrated its 2013 class of Distinguished Alumni Award winners at a banquet hosted at the NCR Country Club. The annual awards are intended to honor graduates of Chaminade Julienne and its four predecessor schools.
Congratulations to each of this year's honorees:
