Why I Give...

by Jerry Kohlhepp

FAMILY LEGACY

My stint at The Covington Latin School was from September 1958 to June 1962. I went to CLS because my two older brothers, Bill ‘57 and Bob ‘59 along with my father (bless his soul!) Clifford ‘33 all of whom I looked up to very much, preceded me.

It may have been the smartest thing I’ve ever done because the discipline, study habits, work ethic, logical thinking process and Fr. Vater’s power problems that I learned there have stayed with me throughout my career and lifetime.

For these reasons, the Kohlhepp family has long been a big supporter of CLS and we now expect that to continue well into the future. The school (now 6 grade levels - 7th thru 12th) remains a hidden jewel of a school right here in Covington, Kentucky. Also I’ve made many lifelong friends from my time at CLS, including from our prestigious class of 1962.

Quite often I thank the Lord for His guidance for directing me to and through CLS, because I’m confident I wouldn’t be what I am today if not for Covington Latin.

Clearly family and CLS have been critical formations for me in my life!
