UNIVERSITY HIGH 2021–22
GRATITUDE REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT
"Thank You” to our SLUH community translated in the seven modern and classical languages we offer: Arabic, Chinese, French, Greek, Latin, Russian and Spanish.
“GO FORTH AND SET THE WORLD ON FIRE.”
These words resonated with the founding of St. Louis University High in 1818, when the school sparked a fire that continues to spread. For more than 200 years, we have illuminated the world by developing leaders of competence, conscience, courage and compassion. We have provided fuel to better the world, especially for the most needy, through an active commitment to justice and service.
The successful conclusion of our Go Forth campaign fans our flame for our third century of excellence. This publication is dedicated to our generous alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students, friends, volunteers and benefactors whose unwavering support has positioned us for success for the next generations of Jr. Bills.
- ST. IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA
In 2000 and 2006, the Jesuit Secondary Education Association (now known as the Jesuit Schools Network) released a document to help all Ignatian-inspired school apostolates maintain and deepen their Jesuit identity. Reflected in that document is a profound statement of St. Ignatius’ second observation in the Contemplation on the Love of God, which “reminds us that love consists in the mutual sharing of goods” (Spiritual Exercises [231], What Makes a Jesuit School Jesuit [2]).
The successful completion of the St. Louis University High Go Forth campaign, the largest in the history of our 204-year-old school, demonstrates that the love for our educational and formational community is broad and deep. The campaign was not only an exercise in fundraising, but also an opportunity to listen, unpack and be moved by the stories of alumni, friends and benefactors who were considering “mutual sharing of gifts” because of their love of the school and its Jesuit mission.
It was a true and humbling blessing to hear alumni who graduated from the 1940s through the 2000s reflect, process and define the formational and educational impact of SLUH. Stories of teachers, coaches and administrators – lay and Jesuit – delineated the long blue line of intellectual and faith-filled alumni. The commonality for all of these conversations was a deep sense of foundational excellence that led to meaningful and rich lives of service, leadership and personal success.
Some spoke of fulfilling marriages and raising wellrounded and accomplished children, or perhaps a life of service to the Church. Others recalled scientific and entrepreneurial creativity, or even corporate and financial outcomes. But all spoke of problem solving, work ethic, service to others, a relentless pursuit of excellence, as well as lessons learned and embedded deep through their formational experiences at SLUH.
Our school is deeply blessed by the Christ-inspired love that permeates our tradition on 4970 Oakland. Our enrollment remains strong at about 1,000 boys; our 100-year-old campus is being renewed to serve another 100 years; our modernized programming provides exceptional STEM and global education opportunities; our activities and athletics are vibrant and successful (SLUH was among the Top 5 athletic programs, according to local media); and our academic outcomes remain at a level of traditional excellence.
Your love and generosity, underpinned by our Jesuit mission, is allowing us to make great things happen for and with the young men we serve. Thank you for supporting our Go Forth campaign, and thank you for helping us live for the Greater Glory of God.
Gratefully, Alan Carruthers President"The successful completion of the St. Louis University High Go Forth campaign, the largest in the history of our 204-year-old school, demonstrates that the love for our educational and formational community is broad and deep."
LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
"...it is evident that SLUH remains the premier academic and formative institution for nearly 1,000 students because of the collaborative commitment of our many partners –from parents, teachers and staff, to alumni, benefactors and friends."
Dear Parents, Alumni and Benefactors,
Congratulations! As a result of your support and prayers, St. Louis University High has achieved another milestone by surpassing an historic capital campaign goal few would even consider. We are deeply thankful to each of you. By exceeding $70 million for the Go Forth campaign, SLUH is uniquely positioned to continue developing young men as leaders guided by intellectual competence and high moral caliber.
This incredible feat will help ensure that SLUH can build upon its legacy of admitting all young men capable of thriving at our school, regardless of their financial circumstances. In addition, bolstering investments in a strong and innovative curriculum, Jesuit spirituality, social justice and a 21st century campus will continue fulfilling the Ignatian mission of the school established more than 200 years ago.
Having first walked these halls 45 years ago as a freshman, been blessed with two sons who thrived at SLUH 10 years ago, and having the privilege to serve on your Board of Trustees for the past nine years, it is evident that SLUH
remains the premier academic and formative institution for nearly 1,000 students because of the collaborative commitment of our many partners – from parents, teachers and staff, to alumni, benefactors and friends.
With my final term as Board Chair complete, and on behalf of your entire Board of Trustees, please accept our heartfelt gratitude for all that you have done and will continue to do for our Jr. Billikens.
Thank you for fostering our tradition of excellence, generosity and spirituality for our young men, our community and beyond.
AD MAJOREM DEI GLORIAM
Sincerely, Joseph F. Jedlicka III ‘80 Chairman, Board of Trustees

"Thanks to SLUH, I no longer see learning as a transaction where students retain and memorize information. I view it as a collaborative effort by both students and teachers to create an environment that puts students outside of their comfort zones in ways that challenge them to be the best version of themselves, both as learners and as people.”

CAMPAIGN SUCCESS
SEAN AGNIEL ‘96 VICE PRESIDENT, ADVANCEMENTSeveral years ago the St. Louis University High Board of Trustees led a strategic thinking process that would set the school on a trajectory of excellence for its third century. After identifying the goals that would be essential for the future of SLUH, they were aiming for $70,000,000 of forward-looking improvements. A campaign of this magnitude had never been attempted – perhaps not by any secondary school in the region – and many felt it would be out of reach for SLUH (including our professional fundraising consultant).
Today, the aspirational vision of the Go Forth campaign has been fully funded, and SLUH enjoys a position of strength that will not soon be taken for granted. This remarkable achievement has everything to do with your love for SLUH, and your belief in the importance of our school for the future of the world. Thank you.
In the sections that follow, you will see how the Board’s operational focus areas of SCHOLARSHIP, Innovative Programming and Facility Improvements have made SLUH a model of ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT and FAITH FORMATION for the nation and the world. Thank you to all who
COMMITTED: $70,524,834
GOAL: $70 Million
have made the Go Forth campaign an historic success.
Please enjoy learning about the ways that the Go Forth campaign has transformed St. Louis U. High, and join me in saying a prayer of gratitude for the many donors who helped to realize the vision of a new century of service for SLUH. Thank you for supporting the formation of our young men at Backer Memorial, and for all the ways you help to carry the torch of SLUH into the future Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.
GO FORTH FOR OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL QUALIFIED YOUNG MEN
Go Forth strengthened financial assistance to preserve student diversity and an unwavering commitment to affordable education in the Jesuit tradition. The campaign provides a new level of scholarship assistance to ensure a SLUH education remains accessible to all qualified young men, regardless of economic circumstances.
CAMPAIGN ACHIEVEMENTS:
• Growing the endowment for financial aid by more than 100% to preserve need-blind admission.
• Meeting 100% of demonstrated need from students (currently more than $4 million per year).
• Strengthening the endowed scholarship program which now funds more than 85% of need-based aid.
• Starting the Francis Scholars program, which provides extra support, beyond tuition, for families most in need.
The Go Forth campaign launched Presidential Scholarships, which are funded at $1 million and publicly recognize SLUH scholars of distinction. The St. Louis Scholarship was one of the Presidential Scholarships established as part of Go Forth to provide the equivalent of three full tuitions annually.

WITTMANN JARBOE FAMILY CREATES SCHOLARSHIP IN HONOR OF BELOVED TEACHER
“Our son, Luke, is a current sophomore at SLUH and we have been so grateful for the gift of the SLUH community for our son. We are especially appreciative of the talented SLUH faculty and staff who have accompanied Luke in his educational journey. It would be our desire that any boy in St. Louis could learn from and with the amazing educators at SLUH.
"We decided to create a scholarship in honor of Mr. Stephen Deves who taught our son’s Algebra 1 class during his freshman year. We have been inspired by Stephen's joyful spirit, his kindness and generosity, and his deep commitment to forming Men for Others. We see in Stephen the qualities that are uplifted and celebrated at SLUH, and we are honored to support the opportunity for more boys to learn from Stephen and all of our outstanding faculty and staff through the creation of this scholarship.”

EMNETTS CREATE PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARSHIP
“Whatever success I have had in life, I attribute to two sources. First are the common sense, appreciation of education, and personal responsibility values instilled by my parents. Very close behind that are the extremely high-level education, discipline, moral value reinforcement, and competitiveness fostered by my years at SLUH. The faculty really cared about the students and strove to foster our progress.
SLUH has made great strides to manage its operating budget and improve annual fundraising efforts to underwrite financial aid, thus preserving the endowment corpus, while simultaneously paying down debt (primarily acquired in the 1990s). No debt has been assumed in the past decade. The net result is a notably increased net endowment. Even still, an average annual draw of 5% on the net endowment equates to only about $1600 per student.
$80,000,000 $60,000,000 $40,000,000 $20,000,000
“After my freshman year, a work-study program covered half of my tuition. [The rest I earned with part-time jobs.] Without that SLUH program, I would have been unable to continue there. I fully support SLUH’s position that no student who can handle the curricula will be turned away due to finances.
“Since I have been fortunate to have the wherewithal to do so, I assist this policy as best I can. My education at SLUH is directly and specifically responsible for my receiving a college scholarship. SLUH’s relatively new Presidential Scholarship program is an excellent way to help qualified students with financial need to take that next important educational step.”
– ROBERT (BOB) EMNETT, PHD ‘60
Dr. Bob ‘60 and Rosemary Emnett (pictured) created the Emnett Family Presidential Scholarship to assist young men to attend SLUH and to promote their ability to attend college. It was established in gratitude for the assistance Bob received as a student at SLUH. It also recognizes the excellent education and character development SLUH provided to Bob, his son Bob, Jr. ’85, nephew David Emnett, Jr. ’07 and nephew Benjamin Emnett ’11.
INTELLECTUAL GROWTH AND DISCOVERY
Mindful of the pulse and vitality in education today, Go Forth engaged a holistic, globally conscious model of curriculum development and innovative programming. It prioritized student support while modernizing the Backer Memorial building for its next century of forming leaders of competence, conscience, courage and compassion.
CAMPAIGN ACHIEVEMENTS:

“The key to our future comes through innovation. Creativity and the ability to envision that which has not been conceived before is a skill that has defined the American story. Automobiles, movies, cell phones, kidney transplants, the light bulb – they all stem from the ability to find new ways to solve legacy problems. SLUH is devoting time and energy to nurturing this in their students and we felt an imperative to help.”
DAVID AND JANE PEACOCK (Past Parents) CREATED THE PEACOCK FAMILY CLASSROOM IN THE JAMES GUTH COSTIGAN ’62 INNOVATION LAB
“I supported Global Education initiatives through Go Forth because I believe that we should educate students to appreciate diverse cultures and understand their connections to the wider world. As members of the SLUH community, it is imperative to carry out our Jesuit mission and educate youngsters, regardless of economic circumstances, to serve our society and to reach out to the world.”
DR. CHINGLING TAI
THE GREATER GLORY OF GOD
Go Forth reinvigorated the enduring commitment of SLUH to educating Men for Others who live out the Jesuit, Catholic mission around the world. Go Forth has provided nearly $10,000,000 as direct investments in the Jesuit Catholic character of SLUH. These investments represent a longterm commitment to the mission of the Church. SLUH will remain a leader in vocation promotion to the Society of Jesus and the Archdiocese of St. Louis. Go Forth is ensuring that all students, faculty, staff, parents and alumni continue to experience SLUH as a place of encounter with God, and formation for mission.
CAMPAIGN ACHIEVEMENTS:
• Acquiring and renovating the Madonna della Strada Retreat Center to support the school's strong retreat program. Resting on 88 sprawling acres near Troy, Mo., it features gathering spaces, meeting rooms, dormitories, a freestanding chapel, recreation center, a Spirit Walk nature trail and Stations of the Cross. Learn more at sluh.org/retreatcenter.
• Expanding the retreat program in Campus Ministry by creating Sophomore Service and the Junior Retreat Program, now required for all students, while increasing the number of students attending Kairos Retreat.
• Beginning in 2023, SLUH will renovate the main school chapel and create the St. Peter Faber, SJ Campus Ministry Center, in Honor of Kelly and David Laughlin. These improvements will not only make more efficient use of space, the heart of the school will become a more inviting space of worship and solitude, grounding academic and athletic achievement in spiritual and moral formation.
DID YOU KNOW?
In the summer of 2021, SLUH installed a new rooftop on Backer Memorial and opened up the skylights in the main chapel. This allows for the originally intended natural light to fill the chapel for the first time since the 1927 tornado.

WILHELM FAMILY FUNDS NEW CAMPUS MINISTRY CENTER
"I feel blessed to have benefited from a SLUH education, from its consistently excellent academics combined with need-blind admission and the diversity it creates, to a strong emphasis on faith formation and developing Men for Others.
"One of my classmates did not grow up in a family of faith and was not a Catholic when he attended SLUH -- yet he was so moved by his high school experience that he went on to become a faith leader in his community. SLUH transformed him, and he is eternally grateful for the path it set him on.
"I don’t want anyone who is qualified to miss out on the SLUH experience I had as well as the lifelong brotherhood and opportunities that the school opened up in my life."
– MARK WILHELM '72
Mark and his wife Debbie made a Go Forth leadership gift to help fund the St. Peter Faber, SJ Campus Ministry Center, in Honor of Kelly and David Laughlin. This new space will be complete in 2024.

ATHLETICS
ARTS AND CO-CURRICULARS
Named funds to support Jesuit Catholic Mission will sustain Campus Ministry, service programs for all grade levels, including the Senior Service program, vocation promotion and student retreats. This type of endowed fund can also provide for the ongoing care for the Madonna della Strada Retreat Center, and more broadly ensures the Catholic identity of SLUH in the Jesuit tradition.
Athletic success stems from strong will, team spirit and relentless grit. Hiring exceptional coaches, surrounding them with top-tier facilities and equipment, and forming them in the Jesuit tradition of SLUH athletics takes resources. Endowed funds will drive success for our student-athletes by creating a stable source of revenue for planning athletic improvements .
Our outstanding faculty furthers the long-standing tradition of academic excellence at SLUH. Along with strong, missiondriven hiring, endowed funds support professional development and continuous improvements in curriculum and effective instruction. Endowed funds can be named in honor of legendary SLUH faculty and academic leaders, and they will have the effect of driving academic greatness into the future.
SLUH has become synonymous with Prep News and Dauphin Players, as well as dozens of other artistic endeavors and co-curriculars that have formed Jr. Bills over the years. An Arts and Co-curriculars named fund provides funding in perpetuity for the co-curricular programs that enrich life at SLUH and connect alumni across generations in the unique SLUH experience.
Endowed funds begin at $50,000 and can be made by installments over a period of up to three years. Learn more about the Endowed Fund program at SLUH at sluh.org/giving/endowed-funds.
Tice Family Fund for Inclusive Growth
The family of Steve Aylward '64 created an endowed fund in Steve's name in support of Social Studies at SLUH. We are honored to remember the legacy of former teacher Steve Aylward (pictured, middle) with this endowed fund, which will support faculty and curricular excellence in the Social Studies Department in perpetuity.
NEW ENDOWED FUNDS Please join us in thanking our donors who established endowed funds in the first year for this new program.

IN HONOR OF: POLLY WALSH
We gratefully honor the life and legacy of Pauline "Polly" Walsh, founder of the Alumni Mothers Club who served as the organization's first president (197778). Polly was a passionate, tireless SLUH volunteer who continued attending school events until her passing, at age 94.
She was the wife of John '41 (dec'd), mother of John '75 and Maureen (past SLUH parents), and grandmother of Peter Herrmann '20. We will always remember her as a Mother for Others.
