We look forward to welcoming back our former State Champions this Saturday as we recognize them during the basketball game.
Prior to tip-off, our champions will gather in the Alumni Room for a special opportunity to reconnect, share memories, and celebrate the hard work, dedication, and success that helped build the strong tradition of LCC athletics.
We are proud to honor these individuals and teams whose accomplishments continue to inspire our current student-athletes and the entire Thunderbird community.

🐾 Mrs. Gronas & Hope 🐾
Mrs. Jessica Gronas, Director of Guidance at Lima Central Catholic High School, and her therapy dog, Hope, have been quietly making a difference on campus since 2019. In a busy, noisy world, Hope offers students and staff calm, comfort, and connection; no talking required.
Recently, Mrs. Gronas led a training for school counselors across the state, sharing her presentation Therapy Dogs: Four-Legged Friends Silently Supporting Students in Schools. She walked fellow counselors through the process of training and certifying a therapy dog, gaining administrative buy-in, and using therapy dogs to support student and staff well-being. The unexpected connections (and the smiles) make it all worth it.
Thank you, Mrs. Gronas and Hope, for extending this impact beyond LCC and into schools across Ohio.

Mrs. Thompson's Advanced Geometry class finished their quadrilateral presentations. Each group chose a unique way to help their classmates review for the Ch. 6 test. They played Connect 4 for rectangles, Don't get kicked out of the Rhombus, Claw Machine for the squares, Bingo for Trapezoids and Kites, and Jeopardy for polygon formulas.

As we approach the halfway point of the third quarter, we are excited to continue our Alumni Spotlight series. This time of year offers a natural moment to reflect on the lasting impact of an LCC education and the many ways our graduates live out the values instilled in them during their time on campus. Through these spotlights, we celebrate the stories, paths, and successes of our alumni—reminding our students and community that the LCC journey does not end at graduation, but continues to shape lives in meaningful ways.
