“We could not be happier with our choice of having all three of our children attend Padua. The faith-based culture and sense of family Padua provides has never changed over the years. We have always been impressed by the school, its caring teachers and administrators. The curriculum is challenging and has led to our children being very well-prepared for the rigors of college. Overall our family loved our Padua experience.”
-Chris Byke, Padua Parent and Donor
“I want to thank all of the donors who made my Padua education possible. You have no idea what impact you have made on my life and the lives of countless other students. Padua has changed my life. Giving back will allow similar opportunities for more students in years to come.”
-Rachel George ’18
Kohuth Challenge – Honoring a Retired Teacher and Coach
A Padua legacy, Mr. Tom Kohuth recently retired from Padua after 50 years of changing lives.
Mr. Kohuth made an impact on thousands of students as a Math teacher, and hundreds of athletes as a football coach. Two anonymous alumni were particularly impacted by Mr. Kohuth during
their time at Padua; they have each made a significant gift to the PaduaPlus+ Campaign, establishing the Kohuth Challenge in honor of their outstanding mentor. Though their gifts provide the majority of the funding for the new Northeast Entrance, additional support is needed. Construction of the Northeast Entrance is slated to begin in June 2019 with completion by fall. These two alumni are challenging anyone who had the privilege of learning math equations or running game plays to step up to the plate now with a gift to the Kohuth Challenge for the PaduaPlus+ Campaign and show your Padua pride!
Please contact Arlene Gagliardo in the Advancement Office at 440-845-8224 to discuss your commitment to the Kohuth Challenge.
