CARMEL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL
Annual Report 2020-2021
Mission Centered in Jesus Christ, Carmel Catholic is a college preparatory high school, empowering students to be servant leaders filled with zeal for faith and scholarship. Rooted in the charisms of the Order of Carmelites and the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Catholic community embraces a tradition of dignity, diversity, and justice.
History Founded in 1962, Carmel Catholic is jointly sponsored by the Order of Carmelites (O.Carm.) and the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (BVM). In 1960, the Archdiocese of Chicago invited these two religious communities to build a co-institutional Catholic high school in Lake County. In September 1962, Carmel High School for Boys opened its doors to a freshmen class of 175 students. In September 1963, Carmel High School for Girls admitted students. In August 1988, the two schools merged and a separate corporation was established for the new co-educational school. For more than 50 years Carmel Catholic High School has been committed to providing a quality Catholic education and forming young men and women to make a positive impact in society.

Letter from Brad Bonham, President
You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor. - Aristotle Much of what I have read and seen related to courage often applies to facing adversity despite challenges, nay-sayers, and those who criticize and critique. At Carmel Catholic, we communicate the importance of courage to our student body. Courage was shown by our BVM and Carmelite founders, who chose to move forward to do God’s work despite the many dangers and challenges ahead. Our current student body faces many obstacles, as well. Some struggle with poverty, others battle depression and anxiety, while others face challenges in their own unique way. Yet, they still persevere and move forward. Throughout this publication, you will find that many of the people listed have courage and honor. Often, we think of our donors with the single virtue of generosity. This is true, but there is much more! The courage to give so generously for a cause or a mission such as Carmel Catholic is admirable. Every donor has their story, and all have sacrificed in their own way for the betterment of others. The courage to give and contribute so that others have a better life with the Lord is fundamentally our true purpose in this earthly life. If not, then what other great purpose is there? As you read this annual report, I ask that you pray for every courageous person in this publication. Each gave and sacrificed in their own way to glorify God and to make the world a better place. Know that you have our prayers and that we will always be indebted to you for your support. In Christ’s peace, Brad Bonham, Ph.D. President

Donor Spotlights Through the generosity, commitment and vision of our donors Carmel Catholic continues to grow, thrive and be one of the best Catholic high schools in all of Illinois. Throughout the pages of this publication, learn more about these parents, alumni, staff and friends who support Carmel. We could not do it without the amazing support and commitment of these leaders in philanthropy.
Overseeing a company with almost 9,000 employees yet operating it as if it were a startup and wanting all your workers to have a sense of belonging speaks volumes to the way Carmel Catholic’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, Ric Elert, rolls. A Milwaukee area native and University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate, given all the time he donates to helping Carmel, you may be surprised that Ric himself was not a Corsair. His history with our school started later in life, when he was dating Carmel alumna Lisa Tagli ’88, one of three Tagli sisters who graduated from Carmel. The two have been married for 25 years and have four children, three of whom have already completed their Carmel Catholic education and Molly, who is a senior. “Lisa is the reason I got introduced to Carmel,” recalls Ric, who laughs: “I went with her and six of her Carmel friends to Street Scenes. It was the greatest high school event I had ever attended and left an impression on me that things are really different here at Carmel.” As the Chairman of Carmel Catholic’s Board of Directors, and father of what will soon be four Carmel graduates, Ric recognizes the value of a Carmel Catholic education. “A factor in why I spend the time I do with Carmel is because I see graduates years later and notice how they have built on their Carmel foundation to become confident, compassionate and successful,” he says. “Every year our school is putting 300 kids who are just quality people on their way to the next step in their education. You feel a sense of confidence knowing that you’re putting them out in the world and that they are going to be successful, respectful, and going to do great things in the world. I just feel so strongly about the caliber of young adults that graduate from Carmel. Serving in a volunteer capacity just makes me feel like I’m doing the world a better service just by continuing that legacy and continuing to help it grow.”
Ric Elert Among the reasons Ric continues his ongoing support of Carmel is a strong belief in working with organizations that help give kids a chance to be great. In terms of investment of time, money and resources, he says he can’t think of anything better than making sure young people have all the opportunities in the world. As for the future, Ric would like to see our tight knit community grow even stronger in the coming years, never losing that sense of community that has made Carmel the world class school that it is. “I don’t know where else I would want to spend my time. It is kind of infectious when you start getting involved and interact with the faculty, staff, and the kids and hear their stories. Being able to see the impact of our work as a board has just been so incredible.”
“I just feel so strongly about the caliber of young adults that graduate from Carmel.” 5
Carmel Catholic High School 2020-2021 Fundraising Highlights
Walkathon Each spring for the past 42 years, Carmel Catholic students have walked as a community for our annual Walkathon in an effort to raise funds for projects and programs that directly impact the lives of our students. For the first time, the Walkathon was combined with Wellness Day and held on April 28, 2021, at the University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary. The rain didn’t stop the fun that was had the day of the event with students raising over $93,000 towards The Mary Frances Clarke Spiritual Center and The Outdoor Gathering Space. Students can enjoy these spaces for reflective thought, classroom discussions, meetings, and prayer. The next Walkathon/ Wellness Day will be on May 13, 2022.
Carmel Catholic Golf Classic The 2021 Carmel Catholic Golf Classic was a great success! We were excited to return the outing to the top-rated Glen Flora Country Club. Golfers were treated to lunch, a round of golf, engaging games, pig roast with an open bar, and highly sought-after raffle prizes. With the help of many sponsors and the support of over 100 golfers and dinner guests, the Carmel Golf Classic was able to support families that have experienced financial hardship, assist students who have lost a parent during their time at Carmel Catholic, and helped bridge the tuition gap of $1,205 per student. All had a good time! Please save the date for our next golf outing, to be held on June 6, 2022, at Glen Flora Country Club.

Street Scenes Street Scenes 2021 was one for the record book; in the 47 years of the event, never has it been virtual! With our great group of volunteers, we were able to not only pull off a successful event but an engaging experience to include people from all over the world. We were able to feature many of the bands who have supported us throughout the years of Street Scenes. We connected with previous volunteers to hear stories of the past, and we featured some of our student groups, including our traditional Student Show. Street Scenes “Home Sweet Home” raised over $260,000 between donations, the silent auction, swag sales, restaurant kickbacks, and our ad book. Due to the pandemic, this year, we are moving our main Street Scenes event outdoors to July 16 & 17, 2022, to align with our 60th anniversary and the Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Our beloved student show will continue to be showcased on our traditional dates of February 10-12, 2022. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with Michelle Ptasienski with any Street Scenes questions at mptasienski@carmelhs.org.
Brunch at the Brandsma On a beautiful sunny April day, guests enjoyed a delicious brunch, followed by Director of Mission Effectiveness and Campus Ministry, Kambra French, speaking on the history of the Blessed Titus Brandsma Chapel and how Carmel Catholic plans to preserve and transform this sacred place into a timeless aesthetic worthy of the celebration of the Eucharist.
Celebrates Carmel’s

A Waukegan native, she has five brothers, two of whom attended Waukegan High School. Her parents would offer the other four children the option of attending Carmel, which resulted in 1981, 1982, 1985, and 1986 graduates.
Julie Goodman ’85 Julie ’85 fondly recalls her time at Carmel among the best years of her life. A donor at first, Julie began her volunteering by helping during Street Scenes. Today, she is on three separate committees and continues to donate her time volunteering at several events every year. “Being at school as often as I am and feeling that sense of excitement and pride from the students, that is by far what has spurred me to continue to give back,” says Julie. As senior vice president and loan administration and closing manager at Associated Bank, Carmel Catholic has been blessed to have Julie provide assistance and oversight to its investment, advancement and finance committees.
“One of the best things I’ve ever experienced is the Big Sister/ Little Sister program. I had a big sister who had a real sister that was also a freshman my first year here,” Julie recalls. “It helped us get to know other kids who were attending Carmel and was the start of a wonderful and lifelong friend group. As a result of this program, there is a group of ‘85 graduates from the girls’ school who have been getting together for brunch on the Saturday after Thanksgiving for 30+ years.” “For me, that was one of the best things that ever happened in high school and the first time I felt the sense of community that everyone raves about here.” “I also volunteer for Street Scenes and on the Open House days because I love to see new students. I’m proud to say I went here and that the school continues to do great work. Whenever there is a need for something I usually get a call and if I can afford the time, I will volunteer my services.” Julie understands that being a student at Carmel is not just necessarily about reading, writing, and arithmetic. She says the
experience goes far beyond just education and that the young men and women learn how to survive and thrive in a community. “They experience a community supporting them and in turn they learn to support others. They then provide that experience every where they go - to college, to their careers, and back to their families.” Motivating Julie even further is the excitement that is created from the students, the faculty and administration, and how everyone has such a positive attitude and a willingness to respond to do whatever is needed to make Carmel a world-class high school. “Anytime I’m at school, whether it’s a Mass or even just walking in the halls, the kids’ reaction to you shows that they are excited to be there and are excited that you are there. There’s simply a vitality that radiates from the school and it energizes me every time I’m at a meeting or attending an event.” As an integral member of the Carmel Catholic Board of Directors, Julie is on a mission to ensure every student is afforded the opportunity to go to Carmel. “What is provided for the kids who attend Carmel is so much more than they get anywhere else,” she says. “The feeling of community; the sense that every student is special not only here at Carmel but also in the world. That is what continues to motivate me to action.”
“There’s simply a vitality that radiates from the school and it energizes me every time I’m at a meeting or attending an event.” 8

Chapel Renovation
Often referred to as the “Heart of Carmel Catholic High School”, the Blessed Titus Brandsma Chapel is sacred to the Carmel Community. Christ is the center of our Mission, our school, and our community, and what better way to give glory to God than enhance the beauty of this special place? Beginning with large foundational donations, we were able to invite members of our community to join us in funding this renovation project. Our capital campaign was launched in late April and is still in an active state, with gifts continuing to be received. The generosity of our donors has been overwhelming and demonstrates the integral role that the Brandsma Chapel has in our community. Director of Mission Effectiveness, Kambra French who has spearheaded the project, shares,“the chapel transformation is truly a spiritual gift to our community. Renovations for the Brandsma
16
Chapel began in June and the majority of the work is anticipated to be completed late this Fall with the Mary Frances Clarke Spiritual Center and outdoor gathering space completed next Spring.” In September, on Homecoming night, the Chapel’s iconic stained glass window of Mary, our Mother and Lady of Mount Carmel was backlit with new spotlights. She now casts her luminous gaze outward providing a spectacular vision each night for all who pass by. This is just one of the many enhancements included in this project that are designed to beautifully underscore the things that Carmel Catholic holds dear. We look forward to celebrating the Eucharist in the Blessed Titus Brandsma Chapel as a community very soon.

Among the highlights of the Blessed Titus Brandsma Chapel renovation, our chapel’s stained glass window will remain the focal point while being enhanced with molding and lighting. In addition, two strips of carrara marble will be inlaid on both sides of the window. The marble will be from the altar that was originally in the BVM chapel that had existed in the other end of the building. Additionally, the ceiling above the altar will show the night sky as it appeared on the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, July 16, 1962.

“We landed at Carmel because the sense of community was just so apparent.” Moving to Chicago from Minneapolis, where he worked for more than a decade as a vice president for Target Corporation, the challenge was to find a high school that welcomed his entire family while providing an education that would properly prepare Asher and Kaleb for the next step in their education.
Kenya Jackson Kenya Jackson and his family have been blessed to travel the globe, often for business but other times on a volunteer basis. He and his wife of 21 years, Kelly, along with sons Asher ‘22 and Kaleb ‘24 have participated on mission trips throughout the world, experiencing a wide range of countries and socio-economic cultures. A senior executive with extensive general management leadership abilities in developing strategies, Kenya has led business development functions in concept and development stages, with a proven track record of top to bottom line financial performance for companies including Target, Walgreens, and UnitedHealth Group, where he currently serves as Chief of Operations. The combination of business acumen and experiencing diverse cultures has made Kenya an important member of the Carmel Catholic Board of Directors. “Living outside of the U.S. forced my children to learn how to be resilient, and how to read and adapt to different situations, different cultures as well as different socio-economic conditions,” Kenya says. “We landed at Carmel because the sense of community was just so apparent. Traveling internationally has taught my boys not only various aspects of education, but also empathy and inclusiveness. There are a myriad of cultures and circumstances in the world, but when it comes down to it you are forced to look within oneself and ask ‘how can I make the world a better place? How can I use my life experiences to better myself as a human being?’”

“We’d been blessed with being able to put our kids in private school. When we first moved here (from Minneapolis), we visited Carmel Catholic and another very well-known private Catholic school located along the North Shore,” he says. “I empowered my sons with the decision, and they just felt the inclusiveness of Carmel. After visiting both schools, my oldest son commented that he could really feel the culture, the vibe of inclusiveness, and the warm welcome that Carmel students and faculty offered.” Recently, when Asher and Kaleb had the chance to tell their dad about Carmel’s brand new Multicultural Center, it brought a smile to Kenya’s face. “I compliment President Brad Bonham and the board for making diversity, equity and inclusion three of the most important traits in our mission here at Carmel. If we want Carmel Catholic students to be productive citizens, then we have to equip them with experiences that help open their cultural palate and their lens with how they see the world.” Kenya firmly believes in the mission of Carmel, the value proposition the school has to offer, and in the leadership that has been put in place. To be a world class high school, he knows that we must continually expand the cultural palate of every student here at Carmel and he is excited to be a part of that challenge. “What I hope for the future of Carmel Catholic High School is to have a diverse, world class, self-sufficient faculty and leadership team to evolve to where our vision is one that is nurturing and best-equipping our students. Sometimes, what I want for Carmel seems more like what you would find at a university but that’s exactly the point. Our goal should be for Carmel to produce students who feel ready and prepared to make a difference in the world.”

Chet Delaney The August 1962 opening day for Carmel students was understated but memorable nonetheless. In the morning after a night of rain, 200 freshman boys walked on wood planks covering a muddy path and through a door on the west side of the school. The front entrance had yet to be completed! When the students entered, they were greeted by five priests in their Carmelite habits, ready to start their first day teaching Carmel students. “We wanted to impress them; show them we were prepared to teach them,” said Chester (Chet) Delaney, one of the five original Carmelite priests to staff Carmel for Boys in 1962. Chet is the last living of the original five priests. He fondly remembers his other four companions – Fr. David Murphy, Principal and Latin teacher; Fr. Elliot Eagan, Athletic Director and Religion teacher; Fr. Fintan Russel, Dean of Discipline and Italian teacher; and Brian McClough, first prior of the monastery and English teacher. To round out the faculty, Carmel’s first lay teacher, Jim Bosen, taught physical education and coached the three sports offered at the time: football, basketball, and baseball. “When I came to Carmel in June, I saw a huge hole in the ground,” said Chet Delaney. That summer, he was in Mundelein only briefly. When he returned in August, the boys’ side was ready for classes having the classrooms, cafeteria and gymnasium completed. The monastery, library, south side classrooms, auditorium, and convent had yet to be built, and would be ready for the fall of 1963.
Carmel was Chet’s first assignment after becoming a Carmelite Priest. Chet taught German and Algebra. He found teaching math ironic because his least favorite subject was math. In addition, he found himself as the treasurer of the school and the monastery. Chet also had charge of scheduling the school buses to pick up and drop off the boys each day. All of the first faculty willingly followed the famous “additional duties as assigned” phrase to serve their students. The students were eager to come to Carmel. “They were a part of something big and new, something not done before,” said Chet. Along with their formal education and faith development, the Carmelites strove to guide the boys’ personal growth as they transformed from young teenagers to young men who would soon be fathers, employees, and leaders of their communities. Chet said that the priests were teachers and mentors who emphasized compassion, courtesy, respect for others, integrity, truthfulness, and willingness to question the status quo as essential traits of being a man. Chet taught at Carmel for its first four years, but this brief section during his life still lasts in his memories and heart. He still stays in touch with a few of his students. Chet expressed pride in being a part of the original group that guided and set Carmel’s tone and traditions to become an influential institution in Lake County today.
“They were a part of something big and new, something not done before.” 34
