CJ Honors Faculty and Staff for Their Dedication and Service

June 9, 2025

As the 2024–2025 school year concludes, Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School takes a moment to reflect with deep gratitude on the dedication of our teachers and staff members. Day in and day out, they pour their hearts into shaping minds, nurturing growth, encouraging each other, and building a supportive community for all CJ students.

Special recognition is given to faculty and staff members who have reached significant milestones in their years of service to Catholic education. These individuals include:

  •       10 Years: Brooke Bauersfeld (Science), Libby Harbaugh (Spanish), Jeremy Valentine (Social Studies)
  •       15 Years: Jama Badinghaus (Counselor), Patrick Rizer (Director of Student Services)
  •       20 Years: Ann Hawthorn (Performing Arts), Beth Marshall (English), John Marshall (Director of Development), Kelly Muhl (Administrative Assistant)
  •       25 Years: Mick Mominee (Religion)
  •       35 Years: Nancy Dever (Math)
  •       40 Years: Tony Ricciuto (Social Studies)
  •       45 Years: Bob Young (Facilities Manager)

CJ extends sincere gratitude to each of these individuals for their dedicated years of service in advancing the mission of Catholic education.

The school also bids a fond farewell to several team members whose journeys are taking them in new directions. Among those retiring are Colleen Norris, school nurse, who played a crucial role in guiding the school community through the challenges of the pandemic, and Shelly Barnes, Title I/Catapult tutor.

Others transitioning to new opportunities include Libby Harbaugh (Spanish/CJ United), Angela Hammerly (Math), Karin Klausing (Cuvilly), Megan Evans (Spanish), and Carlos Stewart (Director of Mission and Inclusion).

The CJ community celebrates them and wishes them every happiness on their journeys ahead.

With these departures, CJ has new career opportunities, including teaching and staff positions. We are seeking qualified individuals to join the CJ community.
