Flashback Photo


Last Month's Flashback



This is a picture from the 1999 yearbook. It was taken during morning announcements in the NCTV studio. That's Brad Ravenstahl doing a sports report holding the statue of Trojan Man.


We got quite a few responses to this picture. Ronnie Dunn ('02), Maggie Kutschbach Bailey ('04), Marc Gonzales ('06), Matt Musial ('05), Shannon Zeis Wishart ('01), and Shuana Gonzales ('00) all identified Brad Ravenstahl. Phil Balestrieri ('99) said, "I know that's Brad Ravenstahl. I can only guess he's doing the sports segment for morning announcements." The best response, however, came from the man himself. "Hey that's me. My good friend Mr Pete Gaertner (‘05) told me to check out this month’s news letter.

I was doing the morning announcement sports report in this photo. The statue I am holding was my co host “Trojan Man” a man of few words. If I remember correctly that was my Senior year and the last few days of school… hence the attire.  There is a good chance I was reporting on the Girls Basketball team with yet another lopsided victory the night prior.  This brings back some great memories and a lot of laughs in the AV room those mornings with my friends."  Brad Ravenstahl


This Month's Flashback

As a tie in to our semester exam, we bring you this month's flashback. Can you identify the people in the photo? Can you tell us what they represent? Send us what you know or can guess about this photo.



Send your guesses to us here.



The display case just inside the entrance to the school houses memorabilia from the school's history. There is also North Catholic apparel available.

Military Legacy Scholarship

North Catholic has a Military Legacy Scholarship in honor of all alumni who have served in our nation’s military forces. The goal is to provide a $1,000.00 scholarship annually. To date, over $30,000 has been raised to fund this annual scholarship. The scholarship is awarded annually to the student provided certain benchmarks are met.


Every 4 years (or sooner) it is awarded to an incoming 9th grade student. This year’s recipient is freshman Gunner Kopriva.



If you wish, you may make a contribution in someone's honor/memory. Donations can be made by sending checks payable to North Catholic, write "North Catholic Military Scholarship" in the memo, and mail to: 


North Catholic High School

Class of 1965 Legacy Scholarship

The Legacy Scholarship was set up as part of our 50th class reunion by Dan Wolovich and Wayne Young and has been under the direction of Bob Colbert and Walt Quinn for the past few years. As we prepare for out 60th reunion we are hoping to increase this amount twofold.



The scholarship has helped students with the ever increasing cost of Catholic education. When we were at North, almost all of the tuition was paid by our parishes (remember having to face your pastor as he reviewed your report card?) Now the cost of tuition has fallen completely on the parents. Tuition for the upcoming school year is $15,850.

In order to help parents provide the great education that we received all those years ago, we need more of our classmates to step up and help keep our legacy scholarship fund growing. No contribution is too small. Big Shout Out to classmates, JOCKO ILCISIN and ART MURPHY for their recent contributions. Classmates Joe McKelvey and Bill Gubanic as well as many others continue to make contributions periodically through out the year. Other classmates have continued to make small monthly contributions by setting up a monthly credit card donation (read $10 to $25). The great thing about that is it's painless and adds to the scholarship fund which continues to grow. As of the beginning of November there is over $50,000 in our endowment.


We are happy to announce that this year's Legacy Scholarships for this school year have been awarded to junior MADISON SERETTI. Madison is an honors roll student with a GPA of 3.9 and is the daughter of NC alum, Leslie Filip ('89) She is active in the school's drama department. Senior DONNIE SCHUBERT is a basketball player and also made the high honor roll with a 3.9 GPA.  


As we begin planning for our 60th class reunion, we are looking for classmates to step up and make a contribution to the scholarship fund.

That's our scholarship awardees along with Bob Colbert and Walt Quinn. Other scholarship trustees, Dan Wolovich, Wayne Young, Roy Kim, Tony DiPasquale, and Art Murphy were unable to be there for the photo.



Consider making a donation to the fund today!


You can send your check to the school with a notation that it's for the '65 scholarship fund; or If you would like to contribute a small monthly amount via your credit card, contact Amber Nicotra Morrison to set it up.



If you have questions about our efforts, feel free to contact Bob Colbert (bobcolbert@comcast.net) or Walt Quinn (quinn.walter@comcast.net)


Special Shoutout

John Mikulan is also donating 20% of the royalties from his book, The Bark of the Day to the fund.


Class of 1966 Scholarship

The Class of ’66, is proud to announce the selection of their third scholarship recipient, Maddie Stillwagon ('28), Dom Dixon ('27) and Andrew Scears ('26) were selected by the committee, under the leadership of Tom Balestreire. The committee is well on its way to funding its goal of $150,000 for the Class of ’66 Scholarship Fund. The Fund will be administered by the Class in conjunction with the school. We, Tom Maier, Jim Beran, Hank Marziale, Paul Ladish, and Bob Gierl have contacted many, but if you or someone you know is wishing to be included, contact Tommy, 404.358.4864, text or call.

NC Class of 1953 Scholarship

Thank you to all who have donated to the North Catholic Class of 1953 Scholarship Fund.  More than $31,000 has been raised thus far. 


The class is pleased to announce this year’s freshman recipient is Angelo Vissari. Angelo is the third recipient of the scholarship. He joins sophomore Gianna Fuller who was selected last year to receive the four-year scholarship.  Good luck to both students as they begin this academic year.


The Fund was proposed by Reg Urschler in the Spring of 2021, and

an ad hoc committee was established, comprised of Reg, Charley Goetz, Bob Muth,

and Vince Brogan.


The ad hoc committee urges all classmates to make new or

continuing contributions to the Fund. Checks should be made payable to the

“NC Class of 1953 Scholarship Fund” and sent to the attention of: Amber

MorrisonNorth Catholic High School, 1617 Route 228Cranberry

Township, Pa 16066.


How fortunate we were to have had the benefit of the education

afforded us. What a wonderful opportunity this provides to all of us and the

remaining families to "invest" in a "guaranteed return on that

investment" by providing a similar opportunity to current students'

futures.


Richard “Dick” Scherer (NC ’53) Scholarship 

To all ’53 grads and alumni who knew Dick Scherer (NC ’53) and participated with him in the many activities while at North, particularly football.


A scholarship in Dick’s name has been established. There is solid “start” to fulfill the $100,000 (goal) scholarship (supplemental funds) for a perpetual, self-sustaining effort to recognize Dick for his many contributions to our Alma Mater.


Dick was the type of student who epitomized the standards of those who wish to excel in scholastics, as well as athletics.  Details on criteria are still being established.  


Contributions can be made online here HERE or mailed to North Catholic, 1617 Route 228, Cranberry Township, PA 16066, ATTN: Development Office.
