Given the fact that you have all the answers I just don’t understand why you are not on Elders Board of Limited Jurisdiction or part of the Elder Athletics!!! cincifbfan just illustrated the complexities of drawing from the CPS population of students. If it is so important to you that they get...

LOL - ask the Volleyball parents that question. I believe they are on their 3rd coach in 2 years - 4 if you count the guy they didn't renew his contract. Currently looking for that coach at the moment.

Administration will also need to consider if it is necessary for the next HC to be teaching at Elder as well. If so, this limits choices as well.

Interesting enough - while the cat litter is very much an urban legend, the others is very much true and in the schools - families have shied away from other schools and migrated to Seton and some of the encouragement has come from parents with girls in other schools. As a point of reference...

I think we all can agree that Seton is hitting on all cylinders right now which is great to see. Since the new administration arrived, they have doubled enrollment in a competitive market place including expanded where students are coming from (eastside, public schools, white oak, etc) through...

I never said that the increase in students was not positively affected by the MM merger but the impact isn't as meaningful because Seton was already making positive inroads into strong traditional Mercy & McAuley feeder schools. This is probably one of the major reasons for the merger as the...

Is that growth because the number of available 8th graders has grown or are they doing things to get more of a percentage of 8th graders to attend Elder &/or expanding their reach to non-traditional areas - i.e. eastside, public schools etc - one thing to keep in mind with that percentage is...

One thing that is interesting is Seton's leadership structure has a President that focus on the growth of the school and Principal (like a COO) that focuses on the day to day operations of the school. Similar schools are setup like that - would Elder benefit from that as this would be a...

Before the merger, Seton was already kicking Mercy's rearend and in the process of taking students from McAuley in St James & St I's Parish's. It wasn't that Seton just "got" the students to come over to the school from the Westside without doing anything. Yes they got a few but they have...

Any word on the number of students that will be in Elder's freshman class next year? Heard that Seton has another strong class coming in - they may be closing in on 670-680+ students

Sorry forgot to mention that on the header of the mailer, they had a business that paid 100% of the cost of the mailer

Sorry not sure where I inferred/said that - that was never the intent of my response. Unlike some of the posters on here, I like Oak Hills and think it is a good school. I just found the mailer interesting and had unfortunate timing

Did anyone else receive the Mailer from Oak Hills? Looks like an advertisement for the school as well as building a case for the next tax levy that they will be putting on the ballot Probably not good timing since we just recently received our property tax bill!

I have always found this topic to be interesting and think (as someone mentioned before) regarding the different “business models” of each school really has an effect on how recruiting is viewed. In general, Parochial high schools have to actively recruit ALL of their students as the families...

The other advantage that the Catholic league has over the Public schools is in 7/8 grade, the Public schools have cuts. Not sure outside of Mason but most schools only have one team per grade (Mason has 2 per grade). In the Catholic youth leagues, there are no cuts. There are different levels of...

With respect to girls Soccer & Volleyball, while playing for your high school means a lot to you/family emotionally, it doesn't mean too much to going on playing at the next level - college coaches go to club tournaments or club practices to recruit. Once the high school sport is done, they...

I agree with the take downs and was surprised especially by the one in the first OT. To me, the mentality of the refs deciding an outcome is not the right frame of mind - the player decided to foul, the ref is reacting to it. What the wrong reffing approach is if they called that foul earlier...

I never bought into that philosophy (as I have reffed) - if it is a foul in the first five minutes then it is a foul in the last five minutes - the athletes do decide >> the player decided to foul another player. How can an offensive athlete make a play to score if they are tripped/grabbed? The...

Great question but I think the fairer question should be how many of the players didn't come from a parochial grade school or doesn't have any ties to that catholic high school as some families send their children to the public grade school then send to catholic high school. Another...

Couldn't agree more. Just a great venue to watch, clean & parking was easy to get in and out
