Thanks to your support, our students sold 25,000 hoagies and reached this year's goal. To celebrate, Wednesday, September 30 will be a half day. Students will be dismissed at 12:15 p.m., and no lunch will be served, so please plan rides ahead of time and consider sending a snack. Fall break follows on Thursday, Oct. 1 and Friday, Oct. 2, and classes resume Monday, Oct. 5. Thank you to every student, parent and supporter who helped make this happen. Enjoy the long weekend!

Lexington Catholic turns 75 this year, and the Jubilee is a reason for every Knight to come home for Alumni Knight Weekend, October 16–17. It starts Friday at 6 p.m. with an alumni tailgate at LCHS before the Knights take the field. Saturday from 7 to 10 p.m., alumni fill the building for reunions, food and drinks, and a chance to walk the halls again. Classes ending in 1 or 6 will have their own reunions.

If your class isn't one of them, there's a dedicated space for all alumni, and every class year is welcome for both days. Be in Alumni Gym at 8 p.m. Saturday for a special 75th anniversary photo with Knights from every generation. You can buy tickets below!

Both days are 21+ events.

For any questions, contact Pam Schneider at pschneider@lexingtoncatholic.com.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HOAGIE SUPPORT

Hoagies 2026: Celebrating an Incredible Lexington Catholic Community!

What an incredible Hoagie Week and Hoagie Day! From late evenings during Prep Week to the early morning hours on Saturday, the Lexington Catholic community came together with energy, enthusiasm, and an amazing spirit of service!

More than 450 volunteers — including students, families, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends — rolled up their sleeves to make Hoagies 2026 a tremendous success. There was plenty of hard work, lots of laughter, and countless memorable moments along the way.

And the results speak for themselves: 28,246 hoagies made and 7,000+ hoagies donated to the Catholic Action Center!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this beloved LCHS FUNdraiser such a meaningful and successful tradition. Your time, talent, generosity, and enthusiasm truly make a difference.

Thank YOU Lexington Catholic!

Hoagies 2026 was about so much more than making and selling sandwiches. It was about community, service, generosity, and coming together for a shared purpose.

Thank you to every student who sold a hoagie, every family and friend who purchased one, every volunteer who gave their time, every faculty and staff member who helped make it happen, and everyone who showed up ready to serve.

Because of YOU, more than 28,000 hoagies were made, thousands were donated to help those in need, and another chapter was added to one of Lexington Catholic’s most beloved traditions.

We are incredibly grateful for the spirit, generosity, and joy you bring to this community. Thank you for making Hoagies 2026 such a memorable success!

Looking forward to celebrating 50 years of Hoagies in 2027 with you!

With much gratitude and sincere appreciation,

Pam

FALL 2026 KNIGHTLINE

Dear Lexington Catholic families, alumni, and friends,

The 2025 to 2026 Knightline Annual Report is now available, and it marks a milestone worth pausing over. Seventy five years ago, St. Catherine's Academy and Lexington Latin School merged to form Lexington Catholic High School. What began with roughly 50 students downtown has become the only Catholic high school in central Kentucky, with nearly 200 years of Catholic education behind it.

This edition includes the complete 75 year history of the school, letters from Principal Mathew George, Superintendent Miranda Chaplin, and our new chaplain Fr. Ben Horn, this year's academic award and scholarship recipients, and full recognition of the donors, corporate partners, and 75th Diamond Jubilee sponsors whose gifts sustained our mission from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.

You will also find details on the 75th Anniversary Annual Fund and how to join the celebration at whatever level fits your family, starting at $75 for 75 years.

Read KnightLine above. Thank you for being part of this story. The next 75 begins with you.

CUSTOM TISSUE BOXES FOR TEACHERS

Mrs. Sloan's theology students put their faith into practice last week, decorating tissue boxes with thoughtful messages and delivering them to faculty and staff around the building.

WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP MEETING

We held our first Women in Leadership meeting of the school year last week. Mrs. Bailey's room was full of familiar and new faces. We are excited to bring in women leaders from our community to meet and inspire our young ladies this year.

Seven Knights have been selected for this year's Leadership Lexington Youth Program through Junior Achievement of the Bluegrass.

Congratulations to Tate Ashmun, Eleanor Clay, Addison Mason, Leah McGuire, Caldwell Pfister, Caroline Razor, and Henry Rosenthal. LLYP brings together juniors from schools across Fayette County for a year of sessions with community leaders on government and public safety, the arts, higher education, health and human services, and more. It is a firsthand look at how Lexington works and who makes it work.

Thank you for the incredible support you've shown our teachers. We wanted a way to support them, in addition to the supplies they already receive from the school. Every item purchased goes straight into a classroom, helping to enhance and support the classroom experience, and into the daily work of making a Lexington Catholic education what it is.

If you'd like to have your gift shipped directly to school, please use this address:

Lexington Catholic

Attn: (Teacher you are purchasing for)

2250 Clays Mill Road

Lexington, KY 40503

You're also welcome to ship items to your own home and send them in with your student to deliver personally. Either way works beautifully, and either way our teachers and students feel the difference. We are grateful for you.
