PRESIDENT’S 

MESSAGE 

“You and 

Loughlin provide 

a window of 

opportunity for 

young people...” 

Dear Alums and Friends 

of Bishop Loughlin: 

It’s my pleasure to report back 

to you on a wonderful year made 

possible through your generous 

support. Once again our seniors 

did well; 

• 100% graduated with 

Regents Diplomas 

• 22% earned Regents 

Diplomas with Distinction 

• One senior earned a full 

scholarship to Brown 

• Two will be Lasallian 

Scholars at Manhattan 

College, majoring in 

engineering 

• Another senior is attending 

at the US Naval Academy 

• 97% are college bound 

This is an extraordinary level of 

accomplishment for an inner city 

secondary school. The Schott 

Report tells the alternative story 

when a young person does 

not have access to a quality 

education. In this parallel world 

only 27% of African Americans 

graduate from high school. You 

and Loughlin provide a window 

of opportunity for young people 

grossly underserved by the 

educational structures available 

to them. In our Lasallian view 

an education that provides for a 

young persons success in this 

world is salvific. 

This year and moving forward 

Loughlin has committed 

to strengthen its academic 

programming. We added an AP 

Environmental Science course 

to the curriculum and this in the 

2011-12 academic year we are 

adding an AP Physics course. 

The result will be to have one or 

more AP courses in each of the 

academic disciplines. Through 

our Admissions Director we are 

recruiting a freshman class that is 

stronger academically. Scholarship 

and grant-in-aid allocations 

support this effort. Currently 55% 

of our students receive some 

form of tuition assistance with 

an average award of $3200.00. 

Your generosity helps to keep a 

Loughlin education accessible to 

students and their families 

The entire school community is 

very proud of the Cozzi-Murray 

Performing Arts Center and 

Lancer Music Studio, which 

opened in April. Since moving 

in, students have taken over 

the space with instruments and 

other tools of the trade. Both 

instrumentalists and vocalists 

have been recorded, resulting in 

great insight and improvement. 

The director of the program is 

spending the summer learning the 

computerized console for mixing 

and controlling sound so no time 

will be wasted come September. 

Some of our more recent alums 

have dropped in to admire this 

new addition to our venerable 

facility and have offered rave 

reviews. The center will play a 

significant role in our recruitment 

efforts this fall. 

In June, the Board of Governors 

endorsed our strategic plan. This 

summer, my administrative team, 

the Principal, Admissions and 

Development Directors as well as 

the Directors of Individual Giving 

and Marketing/Communication, 

has spent time crafting action 

plans to implement the plan’s 

broad goals strategies centered 

on finance, development, facilities 

and programs. All these efforts 

are directed at achieving the goals 

articulated in the strategic plan: 

Making Loughlin sustainable for 

the long term and the school of 

choice for the families we serve 

and would like to serve. 

Your support continues to be a 

great source of encouragement 

and hope which allows the Board 

of Governors and me to move 

forward with confidence. 

Live Jesus in our hearts.

Bro. Dennis Cronin,FSC

2011 LION/LANCER 

GOLF OUTING 

6 

2011 Lion/Lancer Golf Outing Re-Cap 

By Armand Keller ‘11 

On June 23, 2011, Bishop Loughlin 

held its fifteenth annual Lion/Lancer 

Open Golf Outing at Middle Island 

Country Club. Despite the weather, 

145 golfers participated in this year’s 

outing. It was a smashing success 

thanks to Bishop Loughlin and St. 

Augustine alumni and friends. 

Even with clouds and gray skies, our 

registration area welcomed golfers as 

they made their way up the hill from 

the country club’s parking area to the 

clubhouse, with smiles on their faces 

ready to face the day and hopefully 

even go home with prizes. Golfers 

checked in, picked up their goodie 

bags, which contained an assortment 

of things such as colognes, lotions, 

golf balls, a cooler and more, and 

then headed into the clubhouse where 

they enjoyed a continental breakfast. 

For many golfers, just the joy of 

meeting with their old classmates 

and receiving their goodie bags made 

the day get off to a great start. 

The shotgun start was at 10:30 am, 

and with it our golfers were off to 

their assigned holes and greens to 

begin their fun-filled day. As the day 

went on, the clouds gathered and it 

began to rain. After about a half hour, 

the rain subsided and our golfers 

headed back out from the clubhouse 

to brave the elements once more 

with the hopes of completing their 

18 holes. Unfortunately, a few hours 

later it began to rain again and most 

foursomes were only able to complete 

12 holes of golf. Although the rain 

had dampened their clothes, shoes, 

and golf bags, everyone refused to 

let the rain dampen the high spirits 

of the day. The staff at Middle Island 

Country Club moved up cocktails 

and dinner an hour earlier with ease 

and once our golfers dried off, they 

convened in the upstairs dining room. 

Throughout the cocktail reception 

and dinner student volunteers, most 

of whom were 2011 graduates, sold 

raffle tickets to participants. During 

the dinner ceremony, attendees heard 

from John Klemm ’65, Director of 

Development, as well as Br. Dennis 

Cronin, FSC, President of Bishop 

Loughlin. Both thanked everyone 

for their continued support of this 

event, as well as their support 

of the students and teachers at 

Bishop Loughlin. Several prizes 

were raffled off, including items 

such as golf clubs, cash prizes, golf 

bags, and alumni merchandise. 

We would like to give a special 

thank you to our event sponsors, 

staff and student volunteers, 

and our faithful attendees to this 

event. We look forward to seeing 

familiar and new faces at our 16th 

Annual Golf Outing in 2012!

get merchandise for themselves and 

others who could not attend. The 

gym was filled with memorabilia from 

Bishop’s. There were mannequins 

dressed in Bishop’s uniforms and

STUDENT 

SPOTLIGHT 

Meet the Hendersons 

Loughlin has had the unique opportu- 

nity to educate generations of young 

people. Once such story is that of the 

Hendersons. This family has invested 

in sending their 4 children to Bishop 

Loughlin. Three of the siblings, Janele 

‘04, Ozzie ‘08, and Jaylen ‘11, have all 

graduated from Loughlin. The similarities 

don’t end there however. All three 

also maintained perfect attendance 

while attending school from their 

formative years. If that wasn’t enough, 

they have all been stand-out students 

while attending Loughlin, representing 

Loughlin as excellent student athletes. 

While Janele led the Lady Lions in 

basketball, Ozzie and Jaylen excelled 

in track and field. As juniors, they all 

received the James Bonilla Award, 

which honors two juniors who have 

added to the high school experience of 

others by their participation in athletics 

and other extracurricular activities. 

During their respective senior years 

in Loughlin, Janele, Ozzie, and Jaylen 

were all awarded the Nugent Brothers 

Jim Nugent’43 greets the Henderson family who he knows well as Jaylen’11

Award. This award honors the athletic 

achievement of John ‘40, James ‘43, 

and Robert ‘47 (deceased) Nugent and 

is given to two seniors who exemplify 

Christian character and outstanding 

athletic achievement. 

The youngest of the Hendersons, 

Christian, is on track to fill the big 

shoes his older siblings have left for 

him to fill. Christian will begin his junior 

year at Loughlin this fall.

Performing Arts 

Cozzi-Murray Performing Arts Center 

10 

& Lancer Music Studio Opens 

A dedication ceremony for the 

Cozzi-Murray Performing Arts Center 

& Lancer Music Studio was held on 

Sunday, April 10th. At the opening, 

students performed for an audience of 

alumni from Bishop Loughlin, Bishop 

McDonnell, and St. Augustine High 

Schools. 

Michael Murray ‘63, and his wife Jane, 

a Bishop McDonnell alumna, for 

whom the center is named, maintain 

a strong connection to their alma 

maters. “These schools were very 

good to us in terms of our growth and 

our development,” he said. “One of 

the things that Bishop Loughlin and 

Bishop McDonnell taught us is to help 

others. And what better way to give to 

others than to give to the high school 

that taught us those values.” 

Jim Flaherty ‘65, St. Augustine High 

School was the master of ceremony. 

He serves on the board of governors 

for Bishop Loughlin and volunteered 

to help raise money for this project. 

Nearly 100 alumni from St. Augustine 

donated and raised $150,000. 

“The logic behind this was to provide 

a music facility that existing students 

can take advantage of for their musical 

talent and to give Bishop Loughlin a 

recruiting edge,” he said. 

“I can’t even begin to explain to you 

the honor that it was to play at the 

Chris and Charles Gulotta ‘64 

Brother Dennis, Mike Murray ‘63, Jane Murray ‘65, Jane Flaherty, Jim 

Flarherty ‘65, John Klemm ‘65 

opening,” said Alexandria Guy ‘11, senior. 

“And just listening to the alumni’s 

stories made me feel like I was part of 

something amazing.” 

Loughlin now hosts the Brooklyn 

Philharmonic student competition for 

high schools throughout Brooklyn. 

This year, vocalists from Bishop 

Loughlin received third place in the 

competition. Louis Maffei, chair of 

the arts department believes that the 

new space will help current music 

program expand.He would like to invite 

professionals to use the center and 

in exchange teach students. Another 

plan he has for the center is to record 

music with students from China to 

expand students’ experiences.

RENOVATIONS 

Renovations at LaSalle Hall 

12 

The smell of fresh paint and the 

sounds of a busy construction 

crew echo the empty halls of 

Bishop Loughlin’s LaSalle Hall the 

boarding program sponsored by 

Boys Hope Girls Hope. Renovations 

are in motion to restore and give 

the dorm rooms a new face-lift, 

as well as the renovation of two 

additional floors to accommodate 

eleven new students this falls. 

Bishop Loughlin Memorial High 

School in partnership with Boys Hope 

Girls Hope Foundation are preparing 

to accept eleven more students to 

the boarding program this year. The 

program was only able to board 

twenty-one students in the past. Due 

to the success of the program and 

the demand to help more qualified 

under-served male students, the 

expansion at LaSalle Hall became an 

issue that both Loughlin and Boys 

Hope Girls Hope wanted to address. 

With the financial support from 

the Loughlin Alumni Association 

Foundation and the Peter Jay Sharp 

Foundation, the project to expand 

housing for more students became a 

reality. The foundations contributed 

$90,000.00 in donations, which made 

the renovations to the third and fourth 

floor possible. The school and Boys 

Hope Girl Hope can now open the 

program to more students in need. 

“A boarding program for students who 

will thrive in a structured environment 

is not only consistent with Loughlin’s 

mission, it enhances the mission. 

Students can move from a structured, 

pleasant living environment to a 

structured, challenging academic 

environment where the adults, 

teachers and residential, share a 

common vision which promotes the 

students growth and development. 

The support of the Loughlin Alumni 

and Peter Jay Sharp Foundations 

are really extending the reach of a 

creative, innovative, and transformative 

program.” Brother Dennis explained. 

The construction commenced the 

day after school was closed for 

the academic year. A completely 

restored third and fourth floor is in 

full construction to make more dorm 

rooms available by September. The 

project will include new bathrooms, 

dorm room expansion and an overall 

upgrade to the living space at the hall. 

“The construction of the 3rd and 

4th floors is moving forward as 

scheduled and has an anticipated 

substantial completion date of August 

26th 2011. Painting and flooring 

is under way alongside of framing 

and plumbing. No problems have 

been encountered and none are 

foreseeable,” says the Director of 

Maintenance, Gerald Pointing. 

LaSalle Hall, erected in 1881, is 

a historic landmark, which once 

housed Brooklyn’s first three Bishops, 

including the high school’s namesake 

Bishop John Loughlin. Later LaSalle 

Hall was gifted to the De LaSalle 

Christian Brothers, who were relocated 

in 1932, for the first renovation to 

convert the house into dormitories. 

Today, the tradition to provide the 

best Catholic education of Bishop 

John Loughlin and the continued 

teachings of the LaSallian Education, 

“Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve”, still 

resonates through the halls of LaSalle.

CLASS NOTES 

Thomas Henry ’39 (R.I.P.) his family 

sent us comments after he passed 

away “he always cherished his experi- 

ence at BLMHS. It was a very positive 

experience for him and he had always 

said that. Graduating in ’39, he was 

present at his 65th anniversary reunion 

(2004). In attendance were four (4) ’39 

grads including his best friend, Frank 

McDonald. In his living room over the 

fireplace hung a photo that Tom was 

very proud of including him and the 

other three (3) grads from that 65th 

anniversary.” (Ed. note: Francis (Frank) 

McDonald died June 6, 2011) 

John A. Farrell ’40 is 88 years old, 

retired, and served as an Air Force 

officer 1942-1946.

his fellow man with integrity and honesty 

and it taught him how to compete. 

The next 3 years were service in the 

US Navy during 1943 to 1946 – World 

War II. Loughlin gave him the preparation 

that was invaluable during those 

years. He is proud to have been a

although he is a Franciscan Brother, 

he has the greatest respect for the 

Christian Brothers and lay faculty for 

their obvious commitment to their mission 

of providing a catholic education 

to the poor. Catholic schools do “get 

it right”, but while ten catholic high 

schools in Brooklyn alone have closed

MESSAGE FROM 

THE BOARD 

20 

“...the Board of 

Governors and school 

administration have 

defined a Strategic 

Plan for Loughlin that 

confronts our issues 

as a tution dependent, 

Urban School.” 

Dear Alumni/ae and Friends 

of Loughlin: 

Loughlin graduation, always a 

joyous occasion, was particularly 

inspiring this year given the success 

of the Class of 2011. Our seniors 

did themselves, their families 

and alma mater proud!! Through 

their accomplishments, achieved 

through dedication and hard work, 

the members of the Class of 2011 

are providing motivation and encouragement 

to Loughlin students 

coming after them. 

Over the last several years, 

Loughlin’s administration and faculty 

have enhanced the opportunities 

and challenges of Loughlin’s 

academic program, and our students 

have risen to the challenges: 

developing their talents and capabilities, 

achieving academic success 

and preparing themselves for 

the rigor of higher education. The 

“human and Christian education” 

received at Loughlin prepares our 

students for academic success as 

well as success in living noble and 

purposeful lives. 

Inspired by our students and eager 

to afford the benefits of a Loughlin 

education to generations to come, 

the Board of Governors and 

school administration have defined 

a Strategic Plan for Loughlin that 

confronts our issues as a tuitiondependent, 

urban school. 

The plan aims to attain two goals— 

Sustainability 

Honoring and extending its 160 

year heritage, Loughlin fulfills it 

mission well into the future 

School of Choice 

Students and families Loughlin 

wishes to serve have compelling 

reasons to make Loughlin their 1st 

choice for high school 

Important milestones on the 

road to Sustainability have been 

accomplished through an agreement 

reached with the Diocese 

of Brooklyn to transfer the school 

building and adjacent field to 

Bishop Loughlin and to entrust 

all governance responsibilities 

for Loughlin to the Board of 

Governors. These actions were 

eagerly sought by the Board of 

Governors and Brother Dennis, 

and we are grateful to The Most 

Reverend Nicholas DiMarzio, 

Bishop of Brooklyn, The Most 

Reverend Frank Caggiano, 

Auxiliary Bishop of Brooklyn, 

and Sister Angela Gannon, 

Secretary for Catholic Education 

and Formation, for their support 

in achieving these outcomes and 

for their confidence in Loughlin’s 

future. 

Certainly, there are challenges 

to achieving the ambitious goals 

set out in the strategic plan. And 

the Board of Governors and 

Brother Dennis are keenly aware 

of dependencies that will influence 

our success, key among 

them your continuing support for 

Bishop Loughlin. Be assured that 

your commitment to Loughlin is 

necessary to achieving our goals, 

and your generosity and support 

are critically important to securing 

Loughlin’s future. Through your 

generosity the work of St. John 

Baptist DeLaSalle continues at 

Loughlin. Thank you for all you do!! 

Sincerely, 

Noreen McCartney Haffner, 

BMMHS ‘63 

Chair, Board of Governors

Statement 

Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School is a Catholic, diocesan, college prepara- 

tory high school that draws its Christian perspective from the faith tradition 

of the Roman Catholic Church and the Lasallian tradition of the Brothers of 

the Christian Schools. Loughlin fosters academic success, builds character, 

develops future leaders, and nurtures a vibrant personal relationship with God. 

Loughlin stimulates and supports a student’s quest for intellectual, spiritual, 

physical, moral and civic development. Students are challenged to achieve their 

full potential, to strive for excellence and to further their education at colleges 

and universities. Loughlin students, faculty and staff are committed to an inclusive 

community that respects diversity in its many forms and values excellence 

in scholarship. 

Values 

Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School values a structured environment as a 

prelude to learning, growth, and the development of caring relationships grounded 

in Christian values. The Lasallian tradition holds central the appreciation of 

each student’s uniqueness and views the teacher as a minister of the Gospel. 

Loughlin is a community of hope and stability for its students. Hope is fostered 

primarily through caring adults sensitive and keenly aware of the struggles and 

unique challenges of adolescence as experienced in urban America. Stability 

is rooted in good order, clearly proclaimed and justly secured through sound 

guidelines. 

The curriculum and atmosphere of Loughlin are designed to meet a wide range 

of student skills. Loughlin students are encouraged to develop fully their personal 

talents and are given opportunities to use them in service to others. Loughlin 

provides an atmosphere where respect for both self and others will grow as 

students meet with success, resolve personal conflicts and make responsible 

decisions and value – choices. 

Loughlin students grounded in a solid education and a unique Loughlin spirit are 

expected to have profound respect for all people, to be generous in sharing their 

gifts and talents, to make sound choices about the future, and to be positive 

contributors to the growth and life of the community. 


PLANNED GIVING 

Creating a Lasting Legacy 

22 

Meet Andrew Leary 

In late May, Bishop Loughlin welcomed 

a new member to the Alumni and 

Development team. Andy has more 

than fifteen years of fundraising, 

development and public relations 

experience. Most recently, he led 

a foundation for a national nursing 

education organization in lower 

Manhattan for several years. Prior to 

that position, he served as the Director 

of Development at La Salle Academy 

in Manhattan for ten years. He also 

has spent time “in the neighborhood” 

at St. Joseph’s College, serving as 

their Annual Fund Director. 

Andy’s experience in fundraising 

and development at La Salle were 

impressive as he led an annual 

fundraising operation to grow more 

than 300% over the course of his 

tenure at the school. Andy was 

responsible for planned giving, a 

student sponsor program, the annual 

fund, event planning, online giving, and 

many other initiatives at La Salle. He is 

In in his words… I believe strongly in the unique mission 

of Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School. There are 

few educational institutions in New York City that achieve 

so much with few resources. The generosity of alumni 

and friends make it possible for the students at BLMHS 

to meet and exceed all expectations and what they thought 

possible. I am proud to have a role in this process and I 

look forward to meeting the many alumni and friends 

who help ensure a successful future. The De La Salle 

Christian Brothers have proven that their education model 

is second to none, and I am proud to be a part of the living 

mission that happens each day at 357 Clermont Avenue. 

excited to join our team and focus on 

the development and implementation 

of our major gifts fundraising program. 

As the Director of Individual Giving, 

Andy will be working with the 

President, the Board of Governors, the 

Director of Development and others 

to help Loughlin raise sufficient funds 

to guarantee a secure future for the 

school. Goals will include continuing 

to grow our endowment resources, 

meet our capital improvement needs, 

and improve our academic program 

in a variety of ways. He is excited 

to provide opportunities for Bishop 

Loughlin alumni, St. Augustine alumni 

and Bishop McDonnell alumnae to 

support these areas of need. 

Your planned gift can make a difference at Bishop Loughlin 

Planned giving is a unique way to support Bishop Loughlin’s mission while helping 

you achieve your financial, philanthropic and estate-planning goals. 

Planned gifts give back, allowing you to take sizeable income, capital gains, and 

estate deductions on your taxes. They can provide income for you and your 

family for life. And planned gifts can be much larger than other gifts, so you can 

leave a legacy that fits your philanthropic goals. Some options for planned giving 

include bequests, charitable lead trusts, life insurance, IRA’s and securities. 

If you provide for Bishop Loughlin in your estate planning or other form of 

planned gift, you will become a member of the Justinian Society and receive an 

archival pin. Br. Justinian, FSC, sixth principal of Loughlin, defended the principles 

and ideals of Catholic education against biased factions in the 1870’s. 

For more information, please contact John E. Klemm ‘65, Director of 

Development at 718-857-2700 x2254 or jklemm@blmhs.org.

Why I Give: 

Stephen Nuccio 

Stephen Nuccio, class of 1969, 

reminisces about his years at Bishop 

Loughlin Memorial High School. 

His memories are still beautifully 

vivid, of the years spent attending 

classes at his alma mater. Stephen 

still recaps special school events, 

names his favorite teachers and 

friends as if he were still standing 

next to his locker shuffling textbooks 

and preparing for his next class. 

“Loughlin provided me with a good 

foundation in which I felt I could excel 

at anything. I have great memories 

from my Loughlin experience.” 

Stephen took full advantage of the 

classes and activities Bishop Loughlin 

Memorial High School had to offer 

during his four years in school. 

He recalls his memberships in the 

National Honor Society and the Math 

Club, and being a member of the Math 

Team, the Student Senate, the Alumni 

Club, and the Public Speaking Club. 

He also participated on the Student 

Council Patrol and with LaSalle 

Ministries; but still had time for intramural 

sports all four years at Loughlin. 

After graduating from Loughlin with 

honors, Stephen Nuccio attended City 

College of New York and graduated 

with a BA in Economics and went on 

to get his MBA at Baruch College. 

“Loughlin was my second family. 

They took care of me. 

Sometimes I think too well! 

When I went off to college I missed 

that family feeling I had with my 

teachers and friends. But I was 

completely prepared academically 

for the challenges faced in college 

and I am truly grateful to Loughlin.” 

Stephen is leaving an endowment 

to Bishop Loughlin Memorial High 

School, because he links his success 

and good work ethics to his 

Loughlin experience. He has worked 

for over 29 years at Guardian Life 

Insurance Company but has retired 

due to personal disabilities and now 

resides at his home in Hicksville, NY. 

“I wanted to give to other families 

that are economically challenged, 

like my family was when I attended 

Loughlin. If I can ease the financial 

weight for incoming Loughlin 

students and their families it will 

fundamentally change lives.”

IN MEMORIAM 

Bishop Loughlin expresses sympathy to the families and friends of these individuals.
