Q&A with

“These 4 years in high school go by so quickly, make the most of it by becoming involved. You won’t regret it.”

Why is volunteering at Lexington Catholic so important to you personally, and for other current parents?

STEPHANIE HALL

It is important for me to serve the community in the way I feel most productive and helpful. Giving my time to the endeavors of the high school connects me to fellow parents and to the people who work with my sons and their classmates. I can contribute to the health and vitality of the school while assisting to make events for staff and students come to life. Volunteering in this way fulfills the Christian call to serve and demonstrates my family’s commitment to the Catholic community.

SHANA PETERSON

I can only speak to my personal reasons for volunteering...first and foremost, as Catholics we are called to serve others. We are taught that service to others is how we show love and who better to serve than the educators and faith community of LC who love, teach, and influence our children each and every day. Secondly, as we enter the high school chapter of our children’s lives it is more important now than ever to partner with the LC community to foster a relationship with those that are assisting with launching our kids into their next chapter.

STEPHANIE PARISH

For me it’s about building a community and getting to know other parents the way my son is getting to know new people. It’s also necessary to me to pitch in and help so things are staffed appropriately and run smoothly. There are lots of volunteer events that are fun to work. We have an amazing group of parents and we have a lot of fun in the process of volunteering.

In the spirit of philanthropy, why should parents make it a priority to volunteer at Lexington Catholic?

SHANA PETERSON

Volunteering is a simple way to lead by example - showing your children that service continues throughout life and isn’t just something that is required for school. Volunteering is also an opportunity to make lasting bonds with other parents in similar life stages. Volunteering shows that you care and are invested in the community where your children thrive and grow so why not be a part of it?!

STEPHANIE PARISH

Giving back to Lex Cath with our time and talent helps the school become all that it can be. Investing your time is just as important as investing monetarily.

STEPHANIE HALL

Lexington Catholic High School was built from the vision, work, and donations of the members of the Catholic community and supporters that have come in the generations before us. This school exists because a community of people thought it was vital and wanted it to be available to past, present, and future generations. We are the current caretakers of this institution. I believe we should serve Lexington Catholic through our philanthropy with a sense of gratitude to those that came before and with an obligation to those coming after. Volunteering ensures we have a healthy, community-supported school for our youth.

Lexington Catholic would like to thank Stephanie Hall for her two years of service as the chair of PAC.
