Greetings!
After making a request in early April for a priest to be assigned to Chaminade Julienne, and following interviews with a few candidates, we learned late Monday that Fr. Matthew Robben has been selected by Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr to serve as chaplain at CJ starting with the 2012-13 school year.
Those of us who had the opportunity to speak with Fr. Matt before this decision agreed that he will be a great fit for CJ. He will be in residence at St. Peter Church in Huber Heights and will assist with weekend Masses.
A graduate of Elder High School, the University of Cincinnati, and Thomas More College, Fr. Matt completed his studies at Mount St. Mary's Seminary in Cincinnati and was ordained last Saturday by the Archbishop. He is the second youngest of 14 children and grew up on a dairy farm outside Harrison, Ohio. Learn more about Fr. Matt >
We look forward to Fr. Matt joining the team of faculty and staff members here at CJ this fall. If you get a chance to meet him, please join us in welcoming him to the Chaminade Julienne school community.
Sincerely,
Dan Meixner and John Marshall
President and Principal, Chaminade Julienne

Thanks to Senior Picnic Volunteers
Thank you to all the parents who generously supported the Senior Picnic last Thursday with your time and donations. Our seniors were treated to a terrific lunch (chicken, pasta salad, fruit & homemade desserts) and we had perfect weather for the afternoon. We could not have done it without the help of the many senior parents on hand. We also appreciated our students' tremendous spirit, attitude, accomplishments, courtesy and effort.
Congratulations and best of luck to the CJ senior class!

Featured Faculty & Staff Member
Bob Young
 Bob Young has proudly served the Chaminade Julienne community for more than 20 years as a teacher, coach and facilities manager. He has worked in education since 1976, but found his second home at CJ after starting there in 1990.
Bob made the full-time transition to facilities management for the 2011-12 school year after splitting time between teaching industrial arts courses and maintaining the campus in the previous two years. He also serves as the defensive line coach for the Eagles football program.
While at CJ, Bob had the distinction of becoming the first person in the nation to teach both tech prep and STEM curriculum at a Catholic high school. With leadership and encouragement from Principal John Marshall, Bob became instrumental in starting the CJ STEMM program in February 2009. He has taught Project Lead the Way engineering courses including Introduction to Engineering Design and Principles of Engineering.
When not at CJ (which is not very often), Bob enjoys spending time with his wife, Shirley, and racing oval track slot cars.
