Christopher Columbus High School
A Catholic School for Young Men in the Marist Tradition since 1958
September 2019 Newsletter
From the Office of Principal David Pugh
At Christopher Columbus High School, the weather was not the only thing that remained hot in October. Our clubs, activities, and athletic teams have been on fire. We pride ourselves on having an active calendar and it really is amazing how we accomplished so much in just 31 days.
Let me start by thanking our parents! We appreciate your continued support and understand the sacrifice you make to send your son to this great school! We not only met our Walk-a-thon goal but exceeded it by raising a record-breaking $148,000. This is the only school fundraiser of the year and we can attribute its success to our parents, teachers, and students. Everyone who participated had a great time and the money raised will go right back into our school facilities, classrooms, charities, and development.
Adelante!

Remembering Danny Quesada ‘19
A prayer service was held in honor of our beloved Danny Quesada the day after his passing where many shared their favorite DQ stories. The Cross Country Team wore their “Press On DQ” shirts and afterwards ran the distance of 26 minutes and 27 seconds in remembrance of DQ’s best time at the 5K distance while running for the team. Danny’s infectious smile and spirit will live-on among us.

The Anglers Club worked diligently in September to gather nonperishable items for the people of the Bahamas. All items were delivered directly to those affected by Hurricane Dorian by our SeaHunter Boats family. Thank you to all the Columbus families who helped the cause. The Club also held their 5th Annual Boaters Safety Course, in conjunction with the Monica Burguera Foundation and the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. Thank you Coach Dukes.
Thomas Kruczek Installed as President
On September 10th, we held a Mass to celebrate the installation of Thomas Kruczek as the second president of the school. Presided by alumnus Fr. Alejandro Rodriguez-Artola, the Mass was attended by the entire student body, faculty, staff, and school board members, as well as members of Mr. Kruczek’s family. Brother Patrick McNamara, Marist Brothers USA Provincial, was on-hand to present Mr. Kruczek with a special medallion that was created for the occasion. It was a wonderful way to introduce and welcome our new President.

An active shooter preparedness presentation was held for all faculty and staff. The presentation, given by alum and retired officer Daniel Villanueva, focused on a "whole community" approach and provided tools and resources to help prepare for and respond to an active shooter incident. In considering the randomness and unpredictability of active shooter incidents, we cannot approach the issue assuming it won’t happen here. It is our responsibility to take precautions to protect the Columbus community at all times. In addition to the faculty training, we also conducted a fire drill and presented a lockdown video to students.
The Mas Family Program freshmen attended a business etiquette seminar at the Biltmore Hotel where they learned invaluable lessons that will serve them throughout their high school journey and beyond. They concluded the day with a three-course meal that put into practice their recently learned table manners. Thank you Mrs. Galvez Cuesta, Mrs. Amador, and Mrs. Cibran.

ESPN’s SportsCenter Honored Henry Parrish
On September 13th, ESPN was on campus to celebrate and commemorate our hometown football star Henry Parrish Jr. for his achievement in making it into SportsCenter’s iconic Top 10 plays list.

Henry rushed for 324 yards and scored three touchdowns to help win the game for Columbus 41-7.
