## Resource

Host: John Mihalyo The Catholic School Leaders Podcast Episode Overview What does Kenny Loggins have to do with Catholic schools? More than you might think. In this episode, John uses the example of Kenny Loggins—known for songs like Footloose and Danger Zone—to explore how institutions sometimes forget the people who helped build them. Catholic schools can fall into the same trap, losing touch with former parents, volunteers, board members, and donors who once played a major role in the school’s success. Strong schools intentionally remember and steward those relationships. Key Takeaways 1. Graduation is a transition, not an exit. Families should remain part of the school community even after their children graduate. 2. Stay connected with former leaders. Invite past board members, volunteers, and event leaders back for occasional gatherings or appreciation events. 3. Practice specific gratitude. Reach out annually with a personal note recognizing the impact of their service. 4. Capture your school’s stories. Record and share stories from former families and leaders to preserve your school’s culture and mission. Challenge for This Week Identify three former leaders or families your school has lost touch with. Call one. Write one a note. Invite one back into the story.
