FROM THE<br />

HEAD OF SCHOOL<br />

RANDY BRUNK<br />

<strong>CHCA</strong> Head of School<br />

<strong>CHCA</strong> is up and running and we have been thrilled<br />

to be able to stay open as we are soon to finish the<br />

first semester. This summer was busy with classroom<br />

overhauls, including protected cubicles for students<br />

and the introduction of devices in the classrooms<br />

for remote learning. Our teachers have pivoted<br />

once again in spectacular fashion and are teaching<br />

mostly in-person instruction, but also including<br />

some remote learners into the daily rhythm of their<br />

classrooms. While challenges remain, the school<br />

carries on and we could not be more thankful.<br />

With these changes and uncertainty, leadership itself has been challenging.<br />

In every sector of society, leaders have been forced to dig deep and respond<br />

not only to the pandemic, but to their organization’s reality check on the<br />

role it, or they, may play in the perpetuation of systemic racism. I for one<br />

believe it is no coincidence that these two things are happening at the same<br />

time. The pandemic is no respecter of privilege and the racial tension we<br />

observe today would not have gotten the attention it deserved had the<br />

world not been put on pause.<br />

There is a concept to be wisely considered when studying innovation and<br />

change called stasis. Stasis defined in this sense as, “A state or period of<br />

stability during which little or no evolutionary change in a lineage occurs.”<br />

When the inertia of stasis is strong enough, all efforts to break lineage are<br />

easily thwarted. Stasis is often controlled by someone or something which<br />

holds the power in the current status of things. This is particularly true if<br />

the ones in power enjoy conditions that can be described in (as the<br />

definition states), “a state or period of stability.” Before the pandemic,<br />

the period of stability was strong for those in power. Change in any form<br />

was difficult to consider as it was easily challenged as unnecessary. After<br />

all, who wants to break up stability? But in this case, the stability was not<br />

shared by all. It was only really enjoyed by those in power. So, along comes<br />

a pandemic and “wham”, stability and power are severely disrupted and<br />

stasis becomes highly vulnerable. Only a spark was needed to ignite an allconsuming<br />

stasis fire. Through the murder of George Floyd, a true “change<br />

in a lineage” has occurred. Stasis of some sort will come again and time will<br />

tell what it will look like. Let’s hope it is something that better reflects the<br />

Kingdom of God.<br />

4


His Kingdom in heaven is perfect...there is no imbalance of power or systemic discrimination.<br />

All are equal in His Kingdom and equally loved and valued. And Jesus made it clear that a<br />

portion of that Kingdom can and should be experienced here on earth. We as His followers<br />

are ambassadors of that Kingdom. We are called priests who speak of His love and encourage<br />

believers to live out justice, mercy, and grace, just as He does in heaven. <strong>CHCA</strong> will do its part in<br />

working toward that end. It begins for us with the hiring of a Director of Diversity and Inclusion.<br />

The search for a new director is underway, and under his or her leadership and the work of many<br />

others, we expect a new lineage at <strong>CHCA</strong> will occur.<br />

But privilege and discrimination were not the only things that needed a shake-up. Much of what<br />

we do in education was due for some stasis reduction. That is just what we are seeing now. The<br />

problem is that much of it has been thrust upon us much in same way one might try to quench<br />

their thirst by drinking from a firehose. As such, our teachers have been front line heroes learning<br />

how to navigate many changes related to their delivery of instruction. We have been forced to<br />

look afresh at how we assess learning, how we view our standards of benchmark learning, how<br />

to respond to the new generation of engaged and empowered learners, the changing nature of<br />

higher education, the world of work and jobs of the future, and so much more. Stasis is in the rear<br />

view mirror at the moment and yet we are not going to let just anything replace what once was.<br />

Some things we did in education made a lot of sense for our students. And other things were<br />

brought to light as unnecessary and lacking sustainable impact on a student’s growth.<br />

We are all like brand new educators with our learning hats on and we are ready to collaborate,<br />

coordinate, innovate, and continually gravitate toward smarter ways to facilitate quality teaching<br />

and learning. We are constantly asking ourselves: “What should come back and soon?” What<br />

should come back, but in better form?” and “What should never come back again?” In the spirit<br />

of Winston Churchill’s quote, “Never waste a good crisis,” we feel strongly compelled to make<br />

the most of this period of instability to do school in a new and better way, while ensuring <strong>CHCA</strong><br />

is fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment for students, families, and staff. And<br />

it is not just staff engaging in this thinking. The <strong>CHCA</strong> Board of Trustees are also focusing on<br />

ways to break from stasis. We have organized our Board Committee work around four pillars of<br />

sustainability and flourishing: A More Connected Armleder, Diversity and Inclusion, Innovative<br />

Christian Learning Environments and Engaged Christian Community. These pillars affect<br />

everyone involved and all we do at <strong>CHCA</strong>. We will continue to communicate much along the<br />

way of our journey to bring everyone along. After all, we are thankful you are on this journey with<br />

us, as we continue to learn, grow, and go forward, together.<br />

Randy Brunk, <strong>CHCA</strong> Head of School<br />

#GO<strong>CHCA</strong><br />

It’s more than just a hashtag.<br />

It’s more than a rally cry.<br />

It’s a school on a mission to bring hope to the world. It’s teachers who become like family. It’s<br />

community. It’s not giving up when it gets hard. It’s sharing life together. It’s students highly engaged<br />

in their learning. It’s giving back to the place that pours into our children. It’s dedication. It’s a<br />

life-defining experience. It’s support on and off the stage. It’s encouragement on and off the field. It’s<br />

a meaningful journey. It’s a winning moment. It’s choosing more and being more than you<br />

could ever imagine. It’s innovation. It’s what happens when you discover your God-given gifts. It’s<br />

focus on what’s important. It’s working hard and getting the reward. It’s inspiration. It’s awesome<br />

experiences outside of the classroom. It’s coming alongside students to forge a resilient Christian<br />

faith. It’s preparation for a meaningful life. It’s what school is meant to be.<br />

For 30 years and counting, we’ve been on the go. We go after what matters... Shaping students to be<br />

world-changers. Embracing our differences and celebrating our unity. Praying for and serving one<br />

another and others. Supporting each other within a strong community. Pursuing our passions.<br />

Learning, leading, and serving with purpose.<br />

Grounded in hope and going forward together.<br />

We are<br />

STRENGTHENING<br />

OUR CORE<br />

The possibilities are endless.<br />

This is not a trite, pithy motivational saying. Rather, at <strong>CHCA</strong>,<br />

it is more of a rally cry. A challenge.<br />

A challenge to our leaders, and to our faculty, staff, and<br />

students. After all, we are curious thinkers. Questions<br />

are an essential part of learning here and rooted deep<br />

within our DNA is an ethos that does not stand on<br />

statements built on “If”, but rather on questions built<br />

on “How”. From the early founding of our school to<br />

this very moment in time, we have been driven by the<br />

“How”. How might we provide a Christ-centered and<br />

a highly academic experience? How might we provide<br />

enriching learning experiences both within and outside<br />

of the classroom walls? How might we empower teachers<br />

to innovate? How might we do more and be more while<br />

staying grounded in our core values of who we are as<br />

an institution? And on the other side of those “Hows”,<br />

are individuals who tackle the answers head-on. They<br />

are the individuals who have made us who we are as<br />

an institution. They are our founders, our leaders,<br />

our teachers, and our students. And among them, is a<br />

Board of Trustees who not only nurtures strong financial<br />

stewardship, but enables strategic institutional growth<br />

built on the “Hows”.<br />

Every five years or so, <strong>CHCA</strong>’s Board of Trustees, in<br />

partnership with <strong>CHCA</strong>’s Administrative Executive<br />

Team, takes a strategic look at where we have been and<br />

where we want to go, identifying key opportunities that<br />

fuel and propel our Christ-centered, highly engaging and<br />

academic learning community. These exercises have<br />

resulted in some pretty big outcomes in <strong>CHCA</strong>’s history –<br />

an expanded K-12 education (from K-7), the addition of a<br />

preschool, and most recently the expanded programming<br />

and spaces as a result of the Light the Way capital<br />

campaign, just to name a very few.<br />

Anyone who knows a small bit about fitness knows<br />

that a strong core is key to the rest of a body’s peak<br />

performance. As a matter of fact, the most necessary<br />

motions a body makes originate or move through one’s<br />

core, so it is critical to supporting movement. A strong<br />

core is also critical to good balance and stability. It<br />

underpins almost everything we do, and can even help<br />

prevent falls and injuries. This past year, the Board<br />

took a deep look inward to examine <strong>CHCA</strong>’s core, and<br />

discovered opportunities to strengthen key aspects of our<br />

school’s core so that when strengthened, they will enable<br />

us to perform at our peak and to remain stable. It was not<br />

a matter of, “What would happen if we had a stronger<br />

core?” Rather, it was time to look at, “How might we<br />

strengthen our core?” And work is already underway.<br />

As the Board identified four key areas of our inner<br />

core that needed examining and strengthening, they<br />

developed committees around each of these areas.<br />

Committees are comprised of faculty, staff, Board<br />

members, and parents who have been identified as<br />

individuals who could add value in these areas, or those<br />

who simply have passion to do the hard work and exercise<br />

needed to strengthen these areas.<br />

Actions were launched at a Board retreat this past<br />

September. For each of these strategic initiatives, the<br />

answers must be, “Yes” to the following key questions:<br />

Does it advance the school’s mission? Does it fuel<br />

sustainable operations? Does it support a healthy school<br />

culture?<br />

The Core Strategic Pillars include (in no particular order):<br />

Engaged Christian Community<br />

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion<br />

A Connected Armleder<br />

Innovative Christian Learning Environments<br />

ENGAGED CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY<br />

HOW might we continue to ignite a community of<br />

students, staff, and families who are known and cared<br />

for while discovering and pursuing their God-given<br />

passions and gifts?<br />

This includes a focus on driving spiritual formation<br />

among the entire community though small groups,<br />

mentoring, discipleship, etc., and then reinforcing that<br />

initiative through development of corporate spiritual<br />

practices and experiences. As Board committee leader<br />

Scott Phillips put it, “Think of it as a two-pronged<br />

approach — discipleship and corporate worship."<br />

“The Engaged Christian Community Committee<br />

(ECCC) is currently envisioning what it looks like to drive<br />

spiritual formation through the entire <strong>CHCA</strong> community.<br />

The Committee has been studying work from James K.<br />

A. Smith, a philosophy professor from Calvin College. His<br />

premise is that Christ-centered learning institutions have,<br />

for decades, focused on teaching information about the<br />

Christian faith hoping that students would absorb the<br />

information and faith would follow. Professor Smith believes<br />

that this approach is backwards. Most people believe first<br />

based on what they love. Hence the title of his book, ‘You<br />

Are What You Love’. Accordingly, the ECCC will endeavor<br />

to take a holistic approach to spiritual formation that<br />

integrates Christian faith practices that reach not only the<br />

head but the heart. Ultimately, we desire to see <strong>CHCA</strong> be a<br />

place where the Kingdom of God is unleashed in our school,<br />

our local communities, our country, and our world”.<br />

– SCOTT PHILLIPS<br />

<strong>CHCA</strong> Board Secretary and Committee Lead<br />

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, & INCLUSION<br />

HOW might we establish and maintain an<br />

environment of unity, diversity, hospitality, and equity<br />

within the <strong>CHCA</strong> school community?<br />

Some initial groundwork was already underway the past<br />

two years in our community among faculty and staff,<br />

thanks to a partnership with Equity Builders. It has been<br />

important to define the overall context for diversity,<br />

equity, and inclusion at <strong>CHCA</strong>, and what the vision is as<br />

we move forward as an institution. In partnership with a<br />

new Director of Diversity and Inclusion, this committee<br />

will develop and execute strategies to build and maintain<br />

a racially, culturally, and economically diverse school.<br />

The long-term vision of the Board’s Diversity, Equity, and<br />

Inclusion Committee is to have <strong>CHCA</strong> be a community<br />

where all families feel welcomed and are able to thrive<br />

and reach their God-given potential. This work will be<br />

long-term, recognized, and empowered by the <strong>CHCA</strong><br />

Board and administration with the authority, tools, and<br />

resources to promote and ensure true racial and ethnic<br />

diversity and equality within the community.<br />

The work is focused on, but not limited to, the following:<br />

• Increased student/family diversity<br />

• Increased teacher diversity<br />

• Communication and bridges built between<br />

minority <strong>CHCA</strong> families and the school<br />

• Growth in inclusivity among all families<br />

• Enhanced cultural understanding and<br />

acceptance<br />

• Hiring and onboarding of a Director of<br />

Diversity and Inclusion<br />

In the end, the ultimate goal is to build a more diverse,<br />

engaged Christian community and to provide and<br />

promote year-round opportunities for students, parents,<br />

and alumni that foster relationships among all families<br />

at <strong>CHCA</strong>.<br />

A CONNECTED ARMLEDER<br />

HOW might every Armleder student continue their<br />

education through Grade 12 at <strong>CHCA</strong>?<br />

For this to happen, we need to continue to examine<br />

ways to bridge our campuses and find opportunities for<br />

inclusion. The Armleder Committee is responsible for<br />

enhancing bridges between the North Campus schools<br />

and Armleder when it comes to matters of inclusion,<br />

assimilation, cooperative activities, athletics, extracurricular<br />

activities, fundraising, curriculum, and staff<br />

needs.<br />

Work of this special committee includes, but is not<br />

limited to: supporting activities and programming<br />

designed to bring North Campus and Armleder programs<br />

together as often as is practical by both campuses,<br />

serving as ambassadors in sharing Armleder’s unique<br />

programming and offerings, ensuring Board level and<br />

fundraising support, and ensuring that the unique<br />

Armleder mission and long-term vision are consistently<br />

strategically focused and in harmony with the overall<br />

<strong>CHCA</strong> strategic direction. Currently, the Committee<br />

has proposed and is fleshing out, “Armleder Advance”,<br />

covering five key areas of bridge building. More to come<br />

soon on this exciting new initiative.<br />

INNOVATIVE CHRISTIAN LEARNING<br />

ENVIRONMENTS<br />

HOW might we continually provide individual and<br />

collaborative experiences where students engage the<br />

world around them, make meaning of their learning,<br />

and cultivate a Christian worldview?<br />

This is fundamental to how we do school at <strong>CHCA</strong>. This<br />

is part of who we are as an institution, and in order to stay<br />

competitive and ahead of the curve, we need to continue<br />

to find new ways to innovate. This includes cultivating<br />

new ideas and ways of learning, fueling the teacher<br />

Innovation Fund, and consistently evaluating what we<br />

are doing and how we might be able to do it better. We<br />

are also asking ourselves what a post-pandemic <strong>CHCA</strong><br />

might look like by asking the questions, “What should<br />

remain?”, “What should remain but be reshaped?” and<br />

“What should not return?” In many areas, the pandemic<br />

response hurried along courses of action that are<br />

beneficial to stay and in some circumstances, even guide<br />

our future.<br />

In particular, the Board committee’s near-term strategic<br />

opportunities include evaluation and enhancement of<br />

the following:<br />

ENTREPRENEURSHIP & SUSTAINABILITY<br />

PROGRAMMING – Understand what is needed for<br />

successful expansion of this program.<br />

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION CURRICULUM –<br />

Partner with the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee<br />

to identify how and when diversity and inclusion will be<br />

woven into our current curriculum.<br />

HYBRID/REMOTE LEARNING –<br />

Evaluate our offerings and student experiences to<br />

understand what opportunities have been created as a<br />

result of remote learning.<br />

STEM/STEAM –<br />

Understand what is driving STEM/STEAM currently and<br />

where the opportunities are for innovation at <strong>CHCA</strong>.<br />

FACILITIES PLANNING –<br />

Determine what educational facilities need to be updated<br />

or upgraded and make recommendations.<br />

10


If you ever wondered what it is like to serve on <strong>CHCA</strong>’s Board, many Board members, past and present, will tell you<br />

it is a humbling and learning experience. Amy Connor, current Board Vice President, shares,<br />

“I am humbled to be on this board and to be in the company of these Board members and Administration – people who<br />

have dedicated infinite time and resources. It has been an incredible experience – personally and spiritually. I have learned a<br />

lot about how schools and education work. Serving on a volunteer board is both very challenging and very rewarding. It has<br />

been a journey of trusting and saying yes, listening when you are not sure of the answers, and being a bridge when a bridge is<br />

needed. To plan for the future, we started by analyzing <strong>CHCA</strong>'s core. In order to take steps forward, it was critical that we<br />

examine our core and establish these pillars, which will sustain our mission. We are standing on the shoulders of giants, so<br />

we are able to use the power and wisdom of the core to build the future.”<br />

This is core work. This is diving into the heart of our institution to determine the what and how so we can continue<br />

to thrive as one of the country’s best academically excellent, Christ-centered learning communities. So, for the next<br />

“how” that comes, we will be stronger and better poised to continue movement forward, together.<br />

ISACS<br />

ACCREDITATION<br />

COMMENDATIONS<br />

Every seven years, <strong>CHCA</strong> undergoes a thorough evaluation for accreditation by the Independent Schools<br />

Association of the Central States (ISACS). This past year was a monumental year in that process, as we<br />

were awarded our Certificate of Accreditation for the next seven years. Most notable in this recognition,<br />

was the affirming comments that were shared with our entire faculty and staff by the visiting evaluators.<br />

Here is an excerpt from their closing remarks:<br />

"It is hard to describe whether the most striking aspect of Cincinnati Hills Christian<br />

Academy is its inspiring commitment to a tradition of relationship, worship, and service,<br />

or its bold forward-thinking commitment to new vistas in educational approaches and<br />

innovative methods. The reality is, one does not have to decide because <strong>CHCA</strong> is both<br />

traditional and groundbreaking, both in ways that serve children every day.<br />

The school does not decide between nurturing the spirit and sharpening the intellect,<br />

the school does both. <strong>CHCA</strong> does not choose between a beautifully landscaped suburban<br />

existence or a bustling urban presence, <strong>CHCA</strong> is both. The school doesn’t choose<br />

between the confines of their buildings or the expanse of the broader world, <strong>CHCA</strong><br />

inhabits both. You do not choose between serving others and preparing students for<br />

personal success, you do both.<br />

This ability to make what might be opposites elsewhere into an organic whole is what<br />

makes Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy so distinct… the school is poised to grow not<br />

in spite of its contradictions but because of them."<br />

– ROB BRISK<br />

ISACS Visiting Team Leader and Chief Engagement Officer of The Wellington Initiative<br />

Accreditation from ISACS provides a very rigorous and collaborative process for the school to<br />

consistently evaluate and be held accountable to our mission and values, as well as to achieving strategic<br />

improvement and growth in all facets of our institution.<br />

A FRESH LOOK:<br />

FARM-TO-SCHOOL<br />

BY STEPHEN CARTER<br />

DIRECTOR OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND SUSTAINABILITY<br />

“Having a teaching kitchen,<br />

however, is more than just<br />

having a place to cook.”<br />

This spring, eleven graduating seniors will receive, in<br />

addition to their diploma, the Entrepreneurship and<br />

Sustainability Certificate. These graduates make up the<br />

first cohort of students to fulfill the Entrepreneurship and<br />

Sustainability Program requirements by completing two<br />

years of internships (most at the school’s student-run<br />

businesses), qualifying electives, and a final capstone<br />

project. In short, they reflect the goal of this newly<br />

expanded and productive program.<br />

14<br />

“Productive” is perhaps the best word to describe<br />

the Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Program<br />

at <strong>CHCA</strong>. What began years ago as a student-run<br />

coffee bar has now transformed into an entire range<br />

of offerings encompassing preschool through Upper<br />

School opportunities. One of the exciting developments<br />

has been the inclusion of <strong>CHCA</strong>’s 6,000 square<br />

foot greenhouse as a hub of entrepreneurship and<br />

sustainability.


Because the program is deeply rooted in understanding<br />

sustainable food sources, the shift to the greenhouse<br />

made perfect sense—here students could both develop<br />

and perfect horticulture techniques while turning the<br />

space into a thriving business. Starting with an intensive<br />

planting this past summer, the greenhouse is now<br />

home to a wide range of vegetation with everything<br />

from tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers to okra, kale,<br />

and basil. Simultaneously, alumnus David Curtin '09,<br />

graciously donated his time and expertise to create<br />

an e-commerce app for direct sale of the greenhouse<br />

produce—an app that will be key to the business’s<br />

success.<br />

Eight students have been tasked with the following<br />

mission—develop the school’s greenhouse into a robust<br />

learning experience for every student at <strong>CHCA</strong> while<br />

shifting it into a profitable business by selling produce.<br />

And so far, they’ve risen to the challenge. Under the<br />

leadership of seniors Will Vincent and Andrew Waugh,<br />

the students have put the finishing touches on the<br />

retail app, which will enable customers from the entire<br />

Cincinnati area to order directly from the greenhouse<br />

and pick up after school twice a week. Because of the<br />

specifications of the ordering system, the produce will be<br />

harvested for each individual order, ensuring not only the<br />

most nutritious possible produce but also the freshest by<br />

far—the cucumbers customers will walk away with were<br />

cut from the vine less than two hours before.<br />

a year), the space will also function as an environment<br />

for students to learn about profit and loss, marketing,<br />

accounting, and other business practices. In true<br />

entrepreneurship spirit, the <strong>CHCA</strong> Teaching Kitchen will<br />

become an additional student-run business at the school.<br />

The eleven students who are currently involved in the<br />

project are building the kitchen from the ground up—<br />

their class periods consist of everything from measuring<br />

and planning the space to unboxing and assembling<br />

ovens. Over the span of the first semester, they are<br />

working hand-in-hand to build the teaching kitchen<br />

and then, second semester, they will funnel that energy<br />

into making it into a profitable business. Whether it is<br />

through hosting evening cooking classes and summer<br />

cooking boot camps, or through the sale of homemade<br />

greenhouse products including pickles, pizza sauce, and<br />

salsa, the students in the teaching kitchen will be applying<br />

creative techniques to serve the larger community.<br />

In addition to selling directly to consumers through<br />

the app, the students are arranging for <strong>CHCA</strong> Eagle<br />

Farms (the business side of the greenhouse) to sell<br />

to restaurants as well as to a small-scale Community<br />

Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. Through this<br />

program, a group of families will be able to purchase<br />

pre-shares of produce and will receive weekly supplies<br />

throughout the year, ensuring the availability of fresh<br />

produce grown on-site at <strong>CHCA</strong>.<br />

As fueling as these developments are, more<br />

transformations are happening in the space. The<br />

greenhouse includes a 2,000 square foot classroom<br />

built onto the back which is currently undergoing a<br />

re-design to become a fully-equipped teaching kitchen.<br />

The concept of the teaching kitchen goes back to an<br />

initiative from the Harvard Public School of Health to<br />

create learning opportunities for people to become<br />

comfortable with cooking techniques while learning<br />

about healthy living and nutritious food. Once<br />

complete, <strong>CHCA</strong> will become the first K-12<br />

institution to join the Harvard cohort.<br />

Having a teaching kitchen, however, is more than just<br />

having a place to cook. Having a teaching kitchen is about<br />

understanding the true scope of the farm-to-school<br />

concept—while food is being grown in the greenhouse<br />

space, it remains purely produce until it is transformed<br />

into a meal. Through the teaching kitchen, students gain<br />

confidence in the kitchen while applying healthy-eating<br />

practices that will guide them through their lives. And<br />

much of the food they are preparing is grown less than<br />

thirty feet away.<br />

While the teaching kitchen, like the greenhouse, will<br />

function as a learning experience for <strong>CHCA</strong> students<br />

(the program’s goal is for every student at the school to<br />

visit the greenhouse and teaching kitchen multiple times<br />

And this is, overall, the vision of the Entrepreneurship<br />

and Sustainability Program here at <strong>CHCA</strong>. We, as<br />

Christians, are called to steward the Earth responsibly<br />

and protect it for future generations. While training the<br />

entrepreneurs of the future at <strong>CHCA</strong>, we are training<br />

critical thinkers and innovative learners who will go<br />

out and create solutions to problems that do not even<br />

yet exist. Through the opportunities presented in this<br />

program—the ability to learn sustainable growing<br />

techniques, to gain confidence in the kitchen, to<br />

understand the importance of healthy living—our<br />

students will thrive regardless the scenarios and<br />

environments in which they find themselves.<br />

This fall, the elementary classes stood at the school’s<br />

organic garden located at the Founders’ Campus—<br />

one of the primary sites of the Entrepreneurship and<br />

Sustainability Program—and carefully plucked the<br />

seeds from a large sunflower. Each of these sunflowers,<br />

grown from a single seed, produced over one thousand<br />

seeds in turn. Each of those thousand seeds will, in<br />

effect, produce another thousand seeds and so on. The<br />

metaphor is apt—the seed of education is planted and<br />

its growth and its potential and its impact are, in fact,<br />

nothing short of productive. And this is what <strong>CHCA</strong> is<br />

all about.<br />

<strong>CHCA</strong>'S ADAM ATALLAH NAMED<br />

<strong>2020</strong> NHSSCA STATE HIGH SCHOOL STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING<br />

COACH OF THE YEAR<br />

CONTRIBUTED BY SUSAN EASTERDAY '18<br />

FOR OHIO<br />

<strong>CHCA</strong>’s Coach Adam Atallah was named the <strong>2020</strong> National High School Strength and Conditioning Association<br />

(NHSSCA) State Coach of the Year for Ohio. To win this competitive award, coaches must first be nominated by<br />

a peer in the industry. Then, they must complete an application which consists of certifications, athletics success,<br />

industry advancement, and recommendation letters. Once finalists are selected from the applicants, the Coach of<br />

the Year committee votes and selects one coach as the winner, this year selecting Coach Atallah, <strong>CHCA</strong>’s Director of<br />

Sports Performance.<br />

Adam, a 2007 <strong>CHCA</strong> graduate, brings a wealth of experience from the athletic world. He serves as a NHSSCA Ohio<br />

advisory board member and is part of Jeremy Boone's LeaderKit, the #1 sports leadership program teaching how to<br />

become a bolder, braver, and better leader.<br />

Coach Atallah, alongside industry colleague Garrett Keith (Westminster Christian Academy), also co-founded Iron<br />

Circle (IC), a ministry powered by Athletes in Action. IC is a Christian platform for strength and conditioning coaches<br />

to connect in a community that values authenticity, accountability, and action. Each week, 75+ male and female<br />

coaches participate nationwide on Iron Circle calls.<br />

Atallah received his B.S. in Entrepreneurship from Miami University and played football for the Redhawks from 2007-<br />

2009. Adam is married to Michelle and they have a son, Wade William, and two dogs, Remington and Ranger.<br />

Here at <strong>CHCA</strong>, Atallah has made a deep impact through his work as Director of Sports Performance. He leads<br />

daily strength training sessions in the weight room and teaches student athletes about the importance of fullbody<br />

nutrition and exercise. Coach Atallah especially focuses on increasing strength, speed, power, jumping, and<br />

conditioning of athletes as a cohesive team, not as individuals, so the team can have more longevity and success.<br />

However, his impact goes way beyond just physical fitness. Atallah was instrumental in developing <strong>CHCA</strong>’s 360°<br />

Armor program that focuses on developing the spirit, mind, and body of student athletes to “[equip] students to<br />

encompass life-long values of faith, leadership, and strength of character.” Coach Atallah implements these principles<br />

daily by motivating and getting to know his athletes on personal and spiritual levels, which allows him to help them<br />

grow in ways beyond just physical.<br />

Student athletes recognize the tremendous impact Adam has made in the athletics program. According to Cole<br />

Fisher ('20), “Coach Atallah was the very first coach I had at <strong>CHCA</strong> when I transferred in 7th grade, and he has always<br />

poured so much into all of us not only in the weight room, but also mentally, spiritually, and relationally. His character,<br />

drive, and passion are some of the many great qualities he possesses that separate him from the rest, and there is<br />

no one more deserving of this award. I am very confident that I can speak on behalf of the entire <strong>CHCA</strong> community<br />

when I say that we are all extremely grateful to have Coach A, the best in the business.”<br />

As stated by Atallah, “This honor is for all of Eagle Nation. Your trust, commitment, and work led to our program getting<br />

recognized. We have much to get better on, but I believe we are doing something here with a level of excellence and it’s great<br />

to be recognized for it.”<br />

When we asked Adam about his vision as Athletics moves forward, he shared,<br />

“When I think about where the Sports Performance Program will be in the next 3 to 5 years, I look at<br />

all the top colleges and universities out there and what they’re doing to model a level of excellence<br />

that their student athletes can take part in. Everything from high level facilities to the technology<br />

integration in our performance program, performance coaches and staff available to each sports<br />

team, to our athletes who are on the Apex Leaders Team and working in the Desire to Lead leadership<br />

program. A true Spirit, Mind, Body approach that is readily available at all of our [student athletes’]<br />

disposal. Where else can you list all of these things at a small-sized school like ours?<br />

Small School, Big Results!”<br />

28


Adam added a perspective unique to <strong>CHCA</strong>,<br />

“We talk with our kids about the promised land for them personally, and as a team. We talk<br />

about the mission and how to get there. Our program is about living a life that demands an<br />

explanation. We are intentional about leaving everything better than we found it and that<br />

you will leave [<strong>CHCA</strong>] better than you started! That’s what makes this place so great and the<br />

rootstock of our sports performance program.<br />

[I’m] proud to be a part of Eagle Nation!”<br />

A CAREFUL MOMENT SPENT<br />

WITH A RECKLESS PRODUCER<br />

36<br />

Each year Susan Jung, <strong>CHCA</strong>’s Theatre Artistic Director, has the job of choosing<br />

the three productions that she will bring to life on the stage. In the recent past,<br />

we have seen classics such as Footloose, Mary Poppins and even Les Misérables.<br />

This year, a new title made its way on to the list that no one had ever heard of –<br />

except Susan – because she wrote it herself! We recently had a chance to chat<br />

with Susan to find out a little bit more about her new musical, RECKLESS.


Hi Susan! Congratulations on your new show! How long did it take for you to write the script AND the music?<br />

And which was more challenging?<br />

Thank you! So, I’ve been working on the script and music for about a year. Being in quarantine this past Spring, I had a lot of<br />

time to write. Each part of the process had its own challenges, but I’m less familiar with writing music, so that was definitely<br />

more difficult!<br />

Was this something you did on your own or did you have any assistance or guidance?<br />

Definitely not completely on my own! So many wonderful people gave me encouragement. My friend, singer/songwriter<br />

Andrea VonAllmen, was instrumental in providing feedback for an early song. Then my husband arranged for me to meet with<br />

Broadway Music Director Seth Rudetsky, and he provided some much needed mentoring in my overall songwriting process. I<br />

had Stephen Carter, Tom Long, and Jocelyn Sluka read early drafts of the script, and they each gave some great feedback. My<br />

family was also a really important sounding board for me. My biggest source of guidance, though, was my husband Jim, who<br />

endured countless hours of listening to 70 different versions of songs, brainstorming story sessions, and reading scenes so I<br />

could hear the dialogue out loud.<br />

This is quite the achievement! Is this your first musical that you have written?<br />

It is my first full length musical for young adults that I have written by myself. I have co-written seven children’s musicals. I have<br />

always wanted to write a more mature musical, and I really felt a calling to write something specifically for high school students<br />

to perform. Plus, I wanted a challenge. High school students go through some really hard things, and I wanted to write about<br />

those challenges.<br />

What has been the most unexpected emotion during the process of creating this show and seeing it come to life?<br />

Being someone who feels so many emotions on a daily basis, I cannot say there has been anything unexpected. I knew going<br />

in that this process would come with self-doubt, humility, confidence, fear, excitement, and so much more. I think if I’ve been<br />

surprised by anything, it has been how vocally encouraging the students have been.<br />

Can you give me a short description of the story/show?<br />

RECKLESS is based on the Parable of the Prodigal Son. It is a contemporary version that follows adopted daughter Mia’s messy<br />

journey after deciding to leave her home, her sister, and her father. This story really challenges what it means to be reckless.<br />

Where and when did the inspiration for this show come from?<br />

My inspiration came from a blend of the prodigal son story in the Book of Luke, events from my own life, and events of those<br />

who are close to me. I’m a dreamer and I really wanted to share parts of my own story, so I think this story has been in me for a<br />

while. I had written songs, a short story, and even started a movie script, but none of those really went anywhere. I needed to<br />

wait until God’s timing lined up. Once it did, the pieces fell in to place very easily.<br />

How difficult was it to cast the show, being so close to the character development?<br />

It was surprisingly easy! Writing with high school students in mind, I felt like I created characters who are universal and easy to<br />

understand, with the hope that other high schools outside of <strong>CHCA</strong> would find it easy to cast as well.<br />

How did you come to cast <strong>CHCA</strong> alumnus, Gabe Hoyer, in the show?<br />

The role of the father, Jesse, is one that requires a certain level of maturity and an understanding of complex emotions. I<br />

needed someone who could do a lot of work on his own without hours of intense one-on-one coaching (something that<br />

I’ve had to do a lot of in the past for complex roles). I knew Gabe could handle it and he has exceeded my expectations.<br />

I also thought it would be good to have someone who knew the culture of the department and could bring in the level of<br />

professionalism that I try to cultivate.<br />

If you could play one of the roles in the show yourself, who would you be and why?<br />

Definitely Mia. She is so much of me and I get her. I also love her turn around song, “Grasping”. It’s the second song I wrote<br />

for the show and it feels good to sing.<br />

What do you want people to take away after seeing Reckless?<br />

I love art because it is subjective, and I am always amazed at how people respond so differently after experiencing the same<br />

thing. Having said that, I hope that people recognize themselves somewhere in the show, and that they feel understood<br />

and loved.<br />

We know you just finished creating this show, but do you think we could ever expect another one from you in<br />

the future?<br />

Absolutely, yes! 100%! I loved every part of this creative process, even the really frustrating parts. I have so many stories in my<br />

head so I hope there will be more to come.<br />

And we hope so too, Susan!<br />

COMING<br />

HOME<br />

You’ve heard it said before that everything old becomes new again. Fashion, hairstyles,<br />

various trends - they can be gone for years and then show back up, immediately<br />

transporting you to the “good old days”. There is a newness and an excitement to them.<br />

Old memories flash through your head. Emotions have a power surge and quickly break<br />

through to the surface. Immediate surroundings can disappear as calendars momentarily<br />

rewind. This is exactly what happened to me when I stepped through the main entrance of<br />

<strong>CHCA</strong>’s high school in the late fall of 2018. And even at that moment, I couldn’t begin to<br />

understand what was in store for my family and me.<br />

Nearly 23 years had passed since I had found myself sitting at a table inside a <strong>CHCA</strong> building and yet, within<br />

two minutes, it felt like no time had passed at all. Honestly, it was quite breathtaking and evoked an emotion<br />

in me that I won’t soon forget. I was visiting the school, discussing the possibility of my daughter becoming<br />

an Eagle, and although everything around me looked very different from the way it did when I accepted my<br />

diploma from <strong>CHCA</strong> in 1995, it all felt the same. The old was becoming the new and I was bubbling with<br />

excitement to return to the “good old days”.<br />

If you knew me in the 90’s, you know that I loved my four years at <strong>CHCA</strong>. Even with only 28 kids in my class<br />

and limited opportunities, compared to the incredible abundance students are now offered, I knew that I<br />

was blessed to be a part of <strong>CHCA</strong>. Recently, those blessings came back full circle and have landed me in the<br />

role of Alumni Relations and <strong>CHCA</strong> Events Coordinator for <strong>CHCA</strong>, and I could not be more excited! I love<br />

how God’s plan for my life included <strong>CHCA</strong> over 25 years ago and it still does today.<br />

My parents will tell you today that enrolling their three children at <strong>CHCA</strong> in 1991 was not only incredibly<br />

risky, it was also one of the best decisions they have ever made. Now, with my daughter nearly halfway done<br />

with her second year at <strong>CHCA</strong> as a sophomore, and me fulfilling this incredible position within the school,<br />

I am beyond proud to stand next to my parents and say the same thing. The risk may be different but the<br />

spiritual growth, challenges, and decisions that my family is making gives me full confidence that “coming<br />

home” to <strong>CHCA</strong> is definitely one of the best decisions we have made.<br />

JON ADAMS<br />

In September, Jon received the <strong>2020</strong><br />

Goering Center for Family and Private<br />

Businesses Baldwin Award that<br />

honors an outstanding volunteer. Jon’s<br />

company, SALIX Data in downtown<br />

Cincinnati, joined the Goering Center<br />

more than 10 years ago.<br />

The Goering Center’s president, Carol<br />

Butler said, “Jon was an easy choice<br />

for this award. He has gone above and<br />

beyond to assist the Goering Center<br />

as we strive to achieve our mission. He<br />

gives, he cares, he shows up and then he<br />

gives some more. He owns and operates<br />

a successful multinational business,<br />

but gives back to the communities<br />

in which he operates. He sees<br />

opportunities clearly and speaks up to<br />

drive better outcomes for all.”<br />

Butler said that Jon and SALIX Data<br />

embrace the Center’s “10 Best Practices<br />

of Family and Private Business.” She<br />

said his company’s values are service,<br />

achievement, leadership, integrity and<br />

expertise. “These are clearly Jon’s<br />

personal values as well.”<br />

Jon, along with his brother, Rob,<br />

started SALIX Data 21 years ago. With<br />

additional operations in Kenya and<br />

India, SALIX Data today is a leading<br />

content management and litigation<br />

SARAH PRICE '01,<br />

FINE ARTIST<br />

Sarah is an award-winning contemporary fine artist whose work celebrates color, light, and life. From an early<br />

time in her life, Sarah has had a passion for the arts and creating beauty for others to enjoy. She has been<br />

painting ever since she could hold a brush and enrolled in her first oil painting class when she was 14-years<br />

old. Sarah went on to study at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, where a course in Color Theory had a<br />

huge impact on her and her work.<br />

Earlier this year Sarah was selected to display her paintings at the Hickory Museum of Art in North Carolina<br />

for their exhibition celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment. To exhibit at a museum is<br />

a lifelong dream come true for Sarah and she is incredibly thankful and grateful! You can see all her art on<br />

Facebook and Instagram at @VivezaArt.<br />

When asked what kind of advice she would give those looking to become an artist, Sarah says,<br />

“Follow your passion. Don’t listen to people who tell you that you can’t make a living as an artist. While some areas<br />

of art are more difficult to make income with, there are many other avenues in art that can provide you with a “day<br />

job” that fulfills your creative soul. Remember that art is subjective. What one person may view as genius or artistic<br />

ingenuity, another may dismiss as falling out of the accepted creative scope they know. Keep pursuing your passion,<br />

learning, and honing your craft while staying true to yourself.”<br />

ERIN (LLOYD) HEALY, M.D. '10<br />

PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN AND<br />

HEALTHY LIVING INFLUENCER<br />

In May, Erin walked down the aisle and married<br />

Dr. Robert Healy, a US Navy Emergency Medicine<br />

Physician. For the past three years, she has been<br />

working as a doctor and is currently transitioning<br />

to a new primary care role in Norfolk, VA. She says<br />

that providing full-scope family medicine to an<br />

underserved population is one of the best things<br />

about her job, but she truly loves so many of the<br />

aspects from delivering babies to sports injuries and<br />

even end of life palliative care.<br />

A few years back, when Erin was finishing up<br />

med school, she started to realize just how much<br />

a person’s lifestyle infiltrates all other aspects of<br />

medicine – diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc. In<br />

response to that realization, Erin started a healthy<br />

living Instagram account to make sure that health<br />

and wellness could be accessible to everyone. She<br />

said that most healthy living influencers are pushing<br />

expensive celery juices and mid-day Pilates. While<br />

that is great for some, it isn’t attainable for most. The<br />

average American lifespan is 78.5 years while the<br />

average American health span is only 66 years. That’s<br />

12.5 years of existing, rather than living! Longevity<br />

shouldn’t be limited based on access to expensive<br />

groceries and a personal trainer. Erin’s goal is to<br />

provide the tools and tricks needed to incorporate<br />

healthy changes until they become permanent habits!<br />

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER-BASED FETTUCCINE ALFREDO<br />

Here is a great, healthy version of your traditional Fettuccine<br />

Alfredo. Dr. Erin (Lloyd) Healy '10 recently created this creamy<br />

cauliflower-based Fettuccine Alfredo and when she fed it to her<br />

husband without warning, he couldn’t tell the difference!<br />

Quick instructions: Steam cauliflower and drain well. Blend on<br />

high with ½ c broth, 1 tbs chopped thyme, and ¼ c Parmesan.<br />

Sauté garlic over low/med heat with ½ tbs olive oil and sprinkle<br />

1 tbs flour, stirring until combined. Add cauliflower mixture.<br />

Add juice of ½ lemon. Season with salt and pepper. Optional:<br />

Add 2 tbs heavy cream. Thicken over low heat for 10 minutes,<br />

enjoy over pasta or chicken!<br />

SARAH (CESLER) WHITMAN '09,<br />

ZOOKEEPER<br />

Sarah and her husband Gavin welcomed their first child, Harriet<br />

Nadine, on July 4, <strong>2020</strong>. But this isn’t the first “baby” Sarah<br />

has helped mother. Sarah is a Zookeeper at the Denver Zoo in<br />

Denver, CO and has the incredible opportunity of working with<br />

the elephants, rhinos, and tapirs – and their babies. She has been<br />

working there for over 4 years now and she absolutely loves it! Her<br />

favorite things about the job are simply working with the animals<br />

– whether training or cleaning – and being outside! She also gets<br />

to interact a lot with the guests of the zoo, which she enjoys.<br />

Sarah advises those that might be looking to work at a zoo to stay<br />

flexible. “Be willing to move temporarily for internships, don’t be set<br />

on working with a certain species or at a certain zoo at first and make<br />

sure to maintain the relationships you make while interning.”<br />

What advice does Erin have for our community? She<br />

says, “You can’t pour into someone else’s cup if your<br />

own cup is empty. In other words, if you want to help<br />

others and make a genuine impact, you have to help<br />

yourself first. Don’t overlook your own needs. Your<br />

health - physical, spiritual, and mental - is important!”<br />

TRUSTING GOD THROUGH<br />

ADOPTION<br />

ROBERT '98 & MINDY FAHRMEIER<br />

After 12 years of trying to get pregnant, Robert '98 and Mindy<br />

Fahrmeier weren’t sure they would ever have children of their own.<br />

They had always wanted children, but like many couples, weren’t<br />

able to conceive. After lots of prayer though they felt like God might<br />

have another plan for them.<br />

In 2015, Robert and Mindy went to their first information session about fostering to adopt. However, it<br />

wasn’t until February 2018 that they started taking the classes. Mindy felt that God was calling them into<br />

the process and they started working with a faith-based agency to assist them. On December 4, 2018,<br />

the Fahrmeiers became licensed to foster. By December 26, a mere 22 days after they were licensed, two<br />

children were put in their care – Parris & Londyn.<br />

The next two and a half years were tough. There were legal battles and tough conversations, but God’s plan<br />

had been set in motion and there was nothing that was going to stop it. Robert remembers a turning point<br />

for them when they were faced with circumstances beyond their control. They were in church and their<br />

pastor asked the congregation to bow in prayer and “take a moment and listen to what God wants you to<br />

give”. During that prayer, both Robert and Mindy clearly heard God say, “Give Me the children”. It was a<br />

scary moment for the couple, but they knew if they obeyed God, He would do great things. And He did not<br />

disappoint.<br />

By early <strong>2020</strong>, Robert and Mindy were settling in to fostering, but God wasn’t done with His plan. Parris<br />

and Londyn had been living with the couple for over a year, but they weren’t legally allowed to be adopted<br />

yet. Then in the Spring, COVID hit and both of them were furloughed from their jobs. One week after they<br />

both found themselves at home for an indefinite amount of time, they received the call that if they wanted<br />

to adopt, the kids were free to be adopted. They were elated and knew that even though the timing didn’t<br />

seem perfect, it was God’s timing and they trusted it. Two weeks later, another huge surprise. After years and<br />

years of trying to conceive, Mindy became pregnant!<br />

On September 10, <strong>2020</strong>, Parris and Londyn legally took the Fahrmeier last name and their family became<br />

official. Robert and Mindy say that it wasn’t easy, and there was never a guarantee that the children would<br />

be theirs, but they knew from day one that Parris and Londyn were meant to be with them. They took a<br />

big risk and they knew their hearts could be broken, but they also trusted in God’s plan for them and their<br />

family. They could have never planned or prepared for the great blessings that the Lord has given them and<br />

they are incredibly grateful.<br />

(At the time that this publication went to print, Mindy was 8 months pregnant).<br />

ONE STEP CLOSER<br />

RYAN ATKINS '07<br />

At age twenty-one, I felt as if I was on top of the world. Full ride<br />

scholarship. Well-paying job. An abundance of opportunities<br />

right before my eyes. I was living my dreams and preparing for a<br />

future of success that, in my eyes, seemed all but inevitable.<br />

However, a freak car accident brought all of my best laid plans<br />

to a screeching halt when my body became paralyzed below the<br />

shoulders. Without the use of my arms and legs, I found myself<br />

struggling to grasp just how fundamentally my life had changed.<br />

The following years included a long road of coming to terms<br />

with my new physical limitations, redefining success, falling in<br />

love, believing for a healing that seemed all but inevitable after<br />

years of prayer, signs, and dreams—and ultimately learning to<br />

trust the purpose in suffering.<br />

Tell us about your new book and why you wrote it.<br />

The first few years after sustaining a spinal-cord injury were all<br />

about ensuring I had all the right answers about myself, God,<br />

and life in general. I naïvely began writing both in journal and<br />

blog form about what I imagined would be an incredibly linear<br />

path: I got hurt. I worked hard. God filled in the gaps. I got a<br />

miracle. Needless to say, I was in for a rude awakening for what<br />

would transpire in the coming years.<br />

Upon returning home from yet another hospital stay in February<br />

2019, I had a decision to make. As I read through the dozens<br />

of pages I had written over the years, I cringed at the thought<br />

of sharing any of it with others. For so long I simply wanted to<br />

communicate to those around me, I’m okay. I’m going to make<br />

it. There is plenty to be hopeful about. While all that is true,<br />

that in itself would be an incredibly selective representation of<br />

my story.<br />

Rather than relay a litany of clichés and pithy statements that<br />

would likely leave others scratching their head, wondering,<br />

“Does he really believe that?” I knew I needed to include the<br />

messy stuff. The dark seasons. The doubts, the confusion, the<br />

frustrations, and the pain. I began to understand that I cannot<br />

truly be known and loved by those around me if I never actually<br />

reveal what is going on beneath the surface. I wondered, if I<br />

never step out and take a risk, will the experiences I’ve had<br />

over the past decade have been a waste? I decided to not<br />

take that chance.<br />

That is precisely why I wrote this book. To bear witness to<br />

the fact that hope is possible, no matter the circumstances.<br />

Ultimately, this book was never about me. My story merely<br />

provides an illustration, hopefully pointing you to the bigger<br />

picture of how every attempt to find meaning apart from God<br />

will ultimately prove fruitless. Of how life on earth is incredibly<br />

temporary, while eternity will stretch on forever.<br />

I am excited to share this story with others and truly believe the<br />

framework I lay out makes it possible to have hope no matter<br />

what our circumstances are. We all can live lives of meaning and<br />

purpose despite the battles we may face. Joy and excitement<br />

for the future is possible even if we do not yet feel completely<br />

fulfilled.<br />

What is in this for the reader?<br />

At the heart of this story are universal truths. This is a journey<br />

of discovering how to live a meaningful life, learning to adjust<br />

to life’s curveballs, and focusing on lasting hope in the wake of<br />

profound disappointment.<br />

More than a story of triumph over tragedy, I believe the book<br />

offers life-lessons and insights gained in the crucible of trial<br />

which can help readers not only endure prolonged pain and<br />

disappointment in their own lives, but find the perspective and<br />

strength to pick up the pieces of their own tragedies and choose<br />

a life of faith, purpose, and hope.<br />

If you have ever felt the rug pulled out from under you, watched<br />

your dreams crumble before your eyes, or even just wondered<br />

if there’s more to life than scrambling for status, comfort, or<br />

pleasure, I believe this is a message that can help remind us all of<br />

what matters most—in this life and the next.<br />

Did you really meet your wife in elementary school at <strong>CHCA</strong>?<br />

Stephanie and I were in Mrs. Romer’s second grade class in<br />

1996-1997. However, we did not see each other again until I<br />

returned home from the hospital in 2010 when she came on<br />

board as a massage therapist. One of the coolest moments<br />

came when she brought over a project she found from<br />

elementary school with a picture of the two of us on it. Below<br />

the prompt, “What I learned about the Bible and following<br />

Jesus”, many years ago she had written the words, “I learned<br />

that God did many miracles. I like the one of the paralyzed man<br />

the most.”<br />

A couple years after reconnecting, we began dating and<br />

were married in 2016. Getting to work together as a team<br />

on getting this book published has been challenging but<br />

incredibly rewarding. I write, Stephanie edits, and we continue<br />

brainstorming how to best communicate this message of hope<br />

being possible no matter what our circumstances are.<br />

How can we learn more?<br />

ARMLEDER<br />

“A Light in the City”<br />

Happy 20 th Anniversary, Armleder!<br />

Nestled in the heart of downtown Cincinnati in the historic Crosley Square Building, and<br />

often referred to as ‘the light in the city’, <strong>CHCA</strong>’s Otto Armleder Memorial Education Center<br />

serves over 120 students from 30 zip codes. For 20 years now, <strong>CHCA</strong>’s Armleder campus<br />

has been preparing students for a life of faith and learning in the heart of downtown.<br />

“Armleder is an incredible place! You can feel the warmth<br />

of God’s love upon entering the building.<br />

Once you enter this historic building you are greeted with student and staff artwork that has<br />

been created over the past 20 years. Caring and nurturing teachers who develop confident<br />

Christian leaders are the essence of Armleder. Each child is seen throughout the building<br />

in photographs and represented in class work. When you walk through the halls you see<br />

happy children engaging in their learning in a variety of ways. The intentional focus on<br />

leadership is also a highlight for Armleder. Students are empowered to lead through their<br />

learning throughout the day. There is a sense of ownership and partnership that crosses all<br />

stakeholder lines. Students know this is their school and they belong. Parent partnership is<br />

our key to success. Armleder is special because our families and staff intentionally make it<br />

that way. I truly believe Armleder is an example of “teamwork makes the dream work!”<br />

– CAMMIE MONTGOMERY<br />

Armleder Principal<br />

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a<br />

lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the<br />

house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and<br />

glorify your Father in heaven.”<br />

– Matthew 5:14-16<br />

FINANCIAL<br />

STEWARDSHIP<br />

AN INTERVIEW WITH MIKE WALLACE,<br />

<strong>CHCA</strong>'S CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER<br />

What drew you to work at <strong>CHCA</strong>? Nineteen years ago, I was a parent with two kids at the <strong>CHCA</strong> elementary school. I was<br />

doing some work with the athletic Boosters and heard that the school was going through financial difficulties. The school had grown<br />

very fast, and the Business Office needed to catch up with that growth. Some of the school leaders asked if I was interested in<br />

joining <strong>CHCA</strong>. At that time, I was the CFO of another company. Although I was happy there, the offer from <strong>CHCA</strong> felt to me like a<br />

calling from God, and Him telling me this was something I needed to do. I willingly accepted the job at <strong>CHCA</strong> in January of 2002.<br />

Honestly, I did not expect to be here for 19 years, but it felt like the right thing to do when I took the job. I saw what the school was<br />

doing for my children; it was helping them a lot. When I heard <strong>CHCA</strong> was having financial struggles, I felt like I wanted to help. I<br />

wanted to ensure the school could continue providing all its students with opportunities for many years to come. This is why I came<br />

and stayed at <strong>CHCA</strong>.<br />

What is your philosophy on successful fiscal management of the school? I am fiscally conservative. I take a long-term<br />

conservative approach to our tuition dollars and donations. I feel this is the best way to ensure the school's long-term success; the<br />

board and the founding families agree with me. I am focused on student enrollment. For everything we do, I ask how is this helping<br />

enrollment, including recruiting new students and retaining them. I aim for steady growth.<br />

What does it mean to have a clean opinion from the auditors on our school's financial statements? Why is this<br />

important? <strong>CHCA</strong>'s financial statements have consistently received clean opinions from external auditors. A clean opinion<br />

is the highest report any company or non-profit can receive from an external auditor. A clean opinion means the auditor has no<br />

material concerns about the financial records. In other words, the records are materially correct using statistical samples. Further,<br />

the auditor's management letter (which describes how our school operates) includes no adjusting entries. This means our Business<br />

Office is recording everything in ways that make the financial statements materially correct. These clean opinions and outstanding<br />

management letters are important because they assure our parents and donors that their payments and donations are being<br />

applied correctly and in line with each gift's intent. Also, we have outstanding clean opinions and management letters for audits of<br />

our retirement plan. This should reassure our teachers and staff that their money is managed appropriately per their guidance. I am<br />

proud of our Business Office staff for these accomplishments.<br />

What is your favorite part of working at <strong>CHCA</strong>? I think I'll first start with the students. When I started at <strong>CHCA</strong>, I saw the<br />

impact the school was having on my kids, which meant a lot to me. I enjoy seeing our students making a difference in this world and<br />

having a small part in that means a lot. Also, I get to work with a lot of good people who are all pulling for the right thing. We are all<br />

thinking about God's Kingdom, a good Christian education, and being the best that we can be. From the founding families to the<br />

current families, we have phenomenal donors who put their hearts and souls into the school, which is very inspiring. It makes me<br />

want to work here. It's not just a job; it's a lot more than that. It is fulfilling to see how our students grow and achieve new heights.<br />

This is why I enjoy working at <strong>CHCA</strong>.<br />

Knowing what you know now, if you could go back in time and advise the 16-year-old you, what advice would you<br />

give yourself? That's a great question. I would tell myself to study a little harder! Also, life is short; you need to spend more time<br />

with the people you love. So, I would say to myself to spend more time with my parents. I was a typical 16-year-old kid; I had my<br />

mind on friends, sports, etc. I didn't want to spend time with my parents. And now that my dad is gone, I would say to myself to<br />

spend more time with my family. Being present with your family is very important.<br />

In conclusion, I learned that <strong>CHCA</strong>'s finances are managed well. I also learned that Mr. Wallace is a Christ-centered<br />

leader who genuinely cares about our students. Therefore, to all the Business Office leaders and staff, I have one thing<br />

to say - Thank You!<br />

60<br />

BY KAVERI EASWARAN '24<br />

Historically <strong>CHCA</strong>'s financial statements have earned clean opinions from external auditors.<br />

However, for the past several years, what has set <strong>CHCA</strong> apart is that the auditors made no<br />

corrections (adjusting entries) to the school's financial statements. This strong track record<br />

reflects the due diligence of <strong>CHCA</strong>'s Business Office, under the leadership of our Chief Financial<br />

Officer, Mr. Mike Wallace.<br />

To learn more about financial stewardship at <strong>CHCA</strong>, I interviewed Mr. Wallace. I was also<br />

curious about his leadership philosophy. The following is a summary of my interview.

FROM THE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR<br />

OF DEVELOPMENT<br />

62<br />

For where your treasure is,<br />

there your heart will be also. – Matthew 6:21<br />

You are making an impact with your gifts to Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy.<br />

As you may recall, last year, <strong>CHCA</strong> opened up new doors of giving to ‘give to what we love’. What is<br />

true for ALL gifts is that they make an impact. Your gifts touch the lives of students and extend beyond<br />

to bless families, teachers, and coaches. <strong>CHCA</strong> is blessed by those who give to our mission of Christcentered<br />

academic excellence and those who are inspired to direct gifts towards a particular passion<br />

area at <strong>CHCA</strong>. We are so grateful for the generosity and commitment to <strong>CHCA</strong> that is reflected<br />

through the giving summarized in this Annual Report.<br />

I often get the opportunity to connect with <strong>CHCA</strong> families who celebrate what God is doing in the<br />

lives of their children - and I see hearts full of gratitude. There are families here because you made it<br />

possible through giving to scholarships and tuition assistance. Your gifts open up the door for those<br />

who God uniquely placed at <strong>CHCA</strong>. In addition, our students experience new levels of excellence and<br />

expanded opportunities through your support of specific passion areas in our school.<br />

As I reflect on what <strong>CHCA</strong> means to my own family, we feel deeply blessed to be part of this wonderful<br />

and unique Christ-centered community which exemplifies excellence as the standard across all parts<br />

of the <strong>CHCA</strong> experience. I am amazed at how our children are blossoming, guided by teachers who<br />

bring out the best in them and also invest in their character development. I am in awe as we see their<br />

gifts nurtured and develop new passions in the arts. I am encouraged as we see their confidence<br />

grow by participating in team sports and learning through great coaches what it truly means to win on<br />

and off the field. We give God praise for the seeds planted as we watch our children grow spiritually<br />

in meaningful chapel experiences that reveal the heart of God. This is what our students at <strong>CHCA</strong><br />

receive every day. This is the impact of <strong>CHCA</strong>.<br />

Each of us has a unique call in what we<br />

give toward and why.<br />

This is ‘my why’ – what is yours?<br />

With gratitude,<br />

JEN SASSE<br />

Associate Director of Development


WHAT IS MISSION GIVING?<br />

Your gift to one of the Mission funds directly impacts operations and blesses students at <strong>CHCA</strong>.<br />

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO MAKE AN IMPACT THROUGH MISSION GIVING?<br />

Gifts to the Eagle Scholarship Impact Fund open doors and change lives; this past year, 100 scholarships were<br />

granted, blessing 100 families!<br />

Our <strong>CHCA</strong> families responded to the needs within our own community by giving to the COVID-19 Impact Fund,<br />

and as a result, families could continue to be a part of <strong>CHCA</strong>.<br />

“When we heard that <strong>CHCA</strong> was offering tuition help to families in our community who were experiencing<br />

unexpected financial difficulties as a result of COVID-19, we wanted to offer our support. We have<br />

experienced first-hand what a special community this is, and we knew our gift to the COVID Relief Fund<br />

could be the difference maker in helping students remain a part of the <strong>CHCA</strong> family during this challenging<br />

time. Knowing that this was how our gift was going to be used made it a joy to be generous.”<br />

- Donor, COVID Relief Fund<br />

WHAT IS PASSION GIVING?<br />

Give to what you love! Passion Giving allows you to direct your gift to a particular area of<br />

interest at <strong>CHCA</strong> and directly blesses our students, faculty, and coaches.<br />

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO MAKE AN IMPACT THROUGH PASSION GIVING?<br />

When you give to the Arts, the unimaginable unfolds, like transforming Artbeat to a virtual experience<br />

highlighting 1435 pieces of artwork and 68 student performances! The show did indeed go on!<br />

When you fuel the Athletics program, you equip our 360˚ athletes in mind, body, and spirit AND fuel a<br />

history-making year (Volleyball: Regional Champs, State Final Four + Basketball: District Champions!)<br />

Gifts to the Entrepreneurship & Sustainability Program enable the expansion of opportunities for students to<br />

gain more real world experience right here at <strong>CHCA</strong>.<br />

When you contribute to our SOS Program, students have more opportunities to experience meaningful growth<br />

AND make an impact in our neighborhoods, city, and world, even during COVID.<br />

Gifts to the Robotics Program help raise the bar in equipping our students for competition for this robust<br />

award-winning program at <strong>CHCA</strong>. Go Beak Squad!<br />

This is just a small representation of the many passion areas that make a BIG IMPACT.<br />

Scholarship Opens Doors,<br />

Changes Lives.<br />

Slovakia. Czechia. Mexico. Guatemala. Latvia. Bulgaria.<br />

Hungary. Kyrgyzstan. Kazakhstan. Egypt. Nineteen<br />

international students from 10 countries have called<br />

<strong>CHCA</strong> their school home as a result of receiving the WPS<br />

International Student Scholarship, exponentially expanding<br />

the reach and impact of Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy.<br />

What began as an opportunity to facilitate a cultural<br />

exchange for a family friend has become a tool for opening<br />

doors and changing lives, right here in Cincinnati and<br />

around the world. This is the story of the profound impact<br />

of one individual’s passion for cross-cultural understanding<br />

and friendship among young leaders.<br />

It was a somewhat casual drop-in visit in the fall of 2007 to<br />

the Martha S. Lindner Upper School that started it all. A<br />

neighbor of <strong>CHCA</strong> was in search of a school for Barbi, the<br />

daughter of his friend in The Slovak Republic who aspired to<br />

come to the United States to study. Feeling like the publicschool<br />

system had lost its way, he thought about what kind<br />

of school he would choose if he had a daughter. That led<br />

him to our door. It just so happened that Dr. Nicholas had<br />

recently been named high school principal, and one of his<br />

goals was to build an international student program. A phone<br />

interview confirmed this might be a good opportunity for<br />

both Barbi and <strong>CHCA</strong>, and by January, she was enrolled,<br />

thanks to a scholarship established by her father’s friend/our<br />

<strong>CHCA</strong> neighbor. The chemistry was good. Barbi’s American<br />

sponsor appreciated the solid education, the welcoming<br />

environment, and the Christian values that defined the<br />

<strong>CHCA</strong> experience and we learned of his connections and<br />

interests in Central Europe. It just seemed right to continue<br />

on this path and so with more scholarship support, a student<br />

from Czechia joined us the following year, and the year after<br />

that a student from Mexico enrolled.<br />

At this point through parallel efforts, <strong>CHCA</strong>’s international<br />

student program had officially launched and all of us were<br />

realizing first-hand the growth, understanding, and beauty<br />

that comes from relationships which transcend geographical<br />

and cultural differences. And we were hungry for more.<br />

Enter “Miss Patty”, a firecracker personality with a fierce<br />

love of students who runs an English school in Guatemala.<br />

Miss Patty’s ambition for her top students to study in the<br />

U.S. intersected with what had now become a scholarship<br />

fund fueling <strong>CHCA</strong>’s desire to welcome students from<br />

new parts of the world into our student body. In 2011, the<br />

Guatemalan flag was raised in Miracle Commons and yet<br />

another student’s trajectory was forever changed as a deep<br />

friendship was forged between the Modern American English<br />

School (MAES) and <strong>CHCA</strong>. Joining that first MAES student<br />

since that time have been six other top students from Miss<br />

Patty’s school, while multiple Intersession trips have visited<br />

Guatemala, and <strong>CHCA</strong> faculty and students have been<br />

guests at MAES. On this special connection, Miss Patty<br />

reflects, “The Modern American English School in Antigua,<br />

Guatemala is blessed by our partnership with <strong>CHCA</strong>.<br />

The WPS International Student Scholarship has had a<br />

transformative effect on the students we have sent to <strong>CHCA</strong>.<br />

The students have not only received the warmest possible<br />

welcome, they have received life-changing educational<br />

opportunities, extending all the way to college, because of the<br />

incredibly kind support of the <strong>CHCA</strong> community.”<br />

But recall this story began in Central Europe and in 2015,<br />

glimmers of growth showed promising signs. <strong>CHCA</strong><br />

welcomed a student from Latvia and later Bulgaria (referred<br />

by a <strong>CHCA</strong> alumna who was teaching in Bulgaria!). In 2017,<br />

when a Christian school in Kyrgyzstan abruptly closed, we<br />

invited one of students affected by the shutdown and later,<br />

that student’s brother, to become <strong>CHCA</strong> <strong>Eagles</strong>, joined in<br />

2019 by twins from Hungary.<br />

The <strong>2020</strong>-2021 school year commemorates the initial<br />

intent and the ever-expanding geographic reach of this<br />

unique scholarship program, as new students from Slovakia,<br />

Kazakhstan, Egypt, and Guatemala joined the <strong>CHCA</strong> family<br />

this year as honored recipients of the WPS International<br />

Scholarship.<br />

Because students who come to <strong>CHCA</strong> typically stay through<br />

graduation, <strong>CHCA</strong> is just one (important) step in their life’s<br />

journey. WPS International Scholarship recipients continue<br />

on to do great things. These alumni are currently: attending<br />

medical school in Guatemala, pursuing degrees in premedicine,<br />

information technology, and international<br />

business at colleges across the US and around the world,<br />

teaching English in Kyrgyzstan while applying to medical<br />

school in Europe, training for a professional pilot’s license,<br />

completing a PhD program in Biology, and raising a family in<br />

Central Europe.<br />

And while numbers are impressive, this story cannot be told<br />

in numbers of students or countries represented. The impact<br />

is far greater than that. For each student who comes, they<br />

leave behind all that is familiar and comfortable, living with<br />

strangers who will eventually become family, as they master<br />

learning English. They navigate cross-cultural friendships,<br />

discover new talents as they participate in <strong>CHCA</strong> activities,<br />

and are exposed to the gospel message of a personal God<br />

who loves them. For each student who arrives, there are<br />

powerful ripple effects in our community fostering deep<br />

friendships and opening our eyes to the beauty of other<br />

languages, cultures, and traditions as we learn to see the<br />

world through non-Western perspectives. Truly, the WPS<br />

International Student Scholarship has not only enlarged our<br />

student body, but more importantly our minds and hearts.


“One generous heart has opened up the world to students who could<br />

not otherwise consider the opportunity to study in the US. This<br />

commitment to investing in a student’s life, providing an excellent<br />

academic and cultural experience during his or her most formative<br />

years, changes the trajectory of the student and his or her family, for<br />

life. These are the whispers which change the world.”<br />

KIM VINCENT<br />

Director of <strong>CHCA</strong>’s International Student Program<br />

“The impact is enormous. We all are working<br />

hard to fulfill our goals, and sometimes that<br />

is not enough—you need a little unexpected<br />

help. This scholarship is that unexpected help<br />

for many of <strong>CHCA</strong>’s international students,<br />

including my own family.”<br />

to change lives through the gift of education.”<br />

“To this day, it is inconceivable to us that our<br />

children have been given such a wonderful<br />

opportunity. One of the most important messages<br />

that my children received from this experience is,<br />

“You can do it! You can achieve anything in your<br />

life if you work hard for it and believe in it!” We<br />

will be accompanied by this experience for the<br />

rest of our lives.”<br />

“Hosting an international student was a great opportunity for us to experience the customs and<br />

traditions of another country, expanding our worldview. We consider the hosting of students as our<br />

mission field and use the opportunity to learn about their culture, share our culture, and share<br />

our passion for Christ in a meaningful and tangible way.”<br />

RECOGNIZING GIFTS RECEIVED JULY 1, 2019 - JUNE 30, <strong>2020</strong><br />

SOARING EAGLE<br />

CIRCLE OF GIVING 2019-<strong>2020</strong><br />

BUILDING UPON THE LEGACY OF GENEROSITY<br />

AT CINCINNATI HILLS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY<br />

Before <strong>CHCA</strong> could be the school it is today, several families took the lead and generously<br />

supported a vision - the dream of offering excellent academics in a Christ-centered<br />

environment. Today the impact of their early gifts, and those leaders who have joined in<br />

the mission, is seen in the excellence of our programming, the caliber of our faculty, the<br />

beauty of our facilities, and the mission we live out each day.<br />

Soaring Eagle Circle of Giving was created to recognize those within our <strong>CHCA</strong> community who give<br />

generously in one or all of the following ways*:<br />

- Leadership giving of $2,500 or more during the current fiscal year<br />

- Sustained giving at any level to <strong>CHCA</strong> for 15+ years<br />

- Cumulative lifetime support to <strong>CHCA</strong> of $100,000+<br />

FINE ARTS<br />

At every grade level, <strong>CHCA</strong> students are encouraged to sing, play, act, dance, paint, and sculpt<br />

to their heart’s content. The wide range of choices means children get countless opportunities to<br />

discover and develop their unique talents. Great facilities and outstanding teachers mean they get<br />

optimal conditions in which to discover, grow, be challenged, and do their best work. This past<br />

year was yet again no exception to the extraordinary talent displayed at <strong>CHCA</strong> as dozens of our<br />

Fine Arts students and alumni were recognized for their gifts and talents, and despite COVID,<br />

the shows (virtually) went on! Your gift to one or more of the Fine Arts Impact Funds elevates<br />

students’ experiences in the arts.<br />

“It is incredibly cool to see all the opportunities the Entrepreneurship and<br />

Sustainability Program is giving us - from growing plants from seed to<br />

harvest and understanding where our food comes from to learning about<br />

taking care of the environment and the importance of living a healthy<br />

life. I’ve personally benefited by learning valuable leadership skills while<br />

navigating how to work with a team.”<br />

“Since I have been serving at Meadowbrook, I have found that just caring or taking the time to get<br />

to know someone is world-changing. We FaceTimed a gentleman named Wayne, and it absolutely<br />

made his day! He has no family and is a retired school teacher, so talking to us was the highlight<br />

of his week. Seemingly little acts like these can have such a big impact. If I could say one thing to<br />

those who give to SOS, I would say that without your contribution, we could not make small, worldchanging<br />

acts like these possible. I am so thankful for the funding we have because it gives us the<br />

ability to bless others and impact people like Wayne.”<br />

LIGHT THE WAY<br />

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN


<strong>CHCA</strong> launched a $9 million strategic initiative in August of 2015 that incorporated<br />

a series of capital projects. Building on the vision of our founders, the Light the Way<br />

Capital Campaign was an important fundraising effort designed to support updated<br />

and renovated spaces, additional resources, and re-imagined programming to extend<br />

exciting new levels of engagement for our students, teachers, and community.<br />

As a result of our community's extraordinary generosity, the possibilities imagined<br />

for our students through the Light the Way Campaign are being realized inside and<br />

outside the classroom every day.<br />

To the <strong>CHCA</strong> community, Mimi was a much-loved friend and colleague and an esteemed literature teacher known for the care and<br />

kindness she extended to her students. As someone who noticed the small things, she truly knew her students and her friends, which<br />

in turn made her a good listener and the most thoughtful gift-giver. She considered her time at <strong>CHCA</strong> the pinnacle of her teaching<br />

career.<br />

Her love for literature was contagious among her students, friends, and family. She understood the enduring value of words on a<br />

written page in a digital world, and within those pages, she connected her students to ideas and themes which stretched them both<br />

intellectually and spiritually, leaving a lasting mark on many.<br />

The Mimi Ehlen Memorial Library Fund was established by Mimi’s family to continue her love and passion for literature. This fund<br />

expands the library that was established in her classroom and now named in her honor.
