Jim & Mary (Schapman) Macke, Kuemper Class of 1967
"We chose to become Eternal Knights for everything that Kuemper has done for us as KHS graduates, for our children, and now our grandchildren."
"Kuemper Catholic School enjoys a rich tradition for providing an excellent environment for Christian formation supported by an academic program second to none. I am a proud alumnus of Kuemper Catholic High School. As a priest, I have witnessed firsthand the positive difference Kuemper has made on several generations. I am most impressed with the present generation of students and their families. An excellent tradition is growing even stronger. By becoming an Eternal Knight, I can remain a part of that success story."
Fr. Gary Snyder, Kuemper Class of 1964
Pat Venteicher, Kuemper Class of 1993
"I have lived by a famous motto: 'If you can't help people, then what is the point of being successful?' Becoming an Eternal Knight was another key way that I am able to give back to a school system that helps educate and prepare students to be successful in life."
"We joined the group because we felt it was the right thing to do. We believe Kuemper gives a well-rounded academic and spiritual education. We think the only way for that to continue at a reasonable cost to young families is for the school to receive donations.
Why become an Eternal Knight now? This saying answers that question: 'I shall pass this way but once. Any good that I can do or any kindness that I can show, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.'"
