For the second year in a row, Nathan Francis has earned the title of Kentucky State Champion in the Trig-Star competition, a prestigious mathematics contest administered by the National Society of Professional Surveyors. Trig-Star recognizes outstanding high school students who excel in mathematics, with a focus on Trigonometry, and aims to highlight the real-world applications of math while promoting awareness of the surveying profession. Congratulations, Nathan, on this impressive achievement—and best of luck as we await your results on the national exam! Congratulations to the Spanish students from SHDHS who attained national recognition for excellent performance on the 2025 National Spanish Examinations. Students from St. Henry District High School have a long history of high achievement on these exams and were taught by Spanish teachers Elizabeth Hasken and Ruth Coronado. The National Spanish Examinations are administered each year in grades 6 through 12, and are sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese. “Attaining a medal or honorable mention for any student on the National Spanish Examinations is very prestigious,” said Kevin Cessna-Buscemi, National Director of the Exams, “because the exams are the largest of their kind in the United States with over 55,000 students participating each year.” Introducing SHDHS Next Varsity Basketball Head Coach St. Henry District High School is proud to announce the hiring of Mr. Tim Sullivan as our new Varsity Head Boys Basketball Coach. Coach Sullivan brings a wealth of experience and an impressive record of success, most notably from his 17 years at Cooper High School, where he built a powerhouse program. With 18 varsity seasons under his belt and a career record of 305-211, he is widely respected across the state and beyond. Among his many accolades: 9th Region Coach of the Year – 2017, 2018, and 2025 Northern Kentucky Athletic Conference Division 1 Coach of the Year – 4 times Lexington Herald Leader & Louisville Courier Journal Coach of the Year – 2017 Greater Cincinnati Basketball Hall of Fame Kentucky Coach of the Year – 2017 & 2025 Led teams to 9 District Championships, 2 Regional Titles, and a State Runner-Up finish Coach Sullivan succeeds the legendary Coach Dave Faust, who faithfully led the program for 33 years. We are so grateful for Coach Faust’s extraordinary legacy and the strong foundation he leaves behind. “We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Tim Sullivan as our new Head Boys Varsity Basketball Coach,” shared Jim Demler, SHDHS Athletic Director. “He’s a proven winner with a great reputation, and we’re honored to have him join the CRU family.” Coach Sullivan added: “I am blessed to be given the opportunity to take over a program that my great friend and mentor, Dave Faust, has built. My staff and I are looking forward to continuing the tradition of excellence and building young men of character, integrity, tenacity, and toughness. My family and I are extremely excited to become part of THE CRU.” Please join us in welcoming Coach Sullivan and his family to St. Henry. We are excited for what the future holds and can’t wait for the next chapter of CRU Basketball! The Chess Club is thrilled to share that we wrapped up our very first Chess tournament of 2025!  The excitement reached its peak with the final matches: Noah VonHandorf versus Ronald Miller, and Isaac Cripe versus Mateo Felix Chagoya. Congrats to Ronald and Mateo for placing first place. Noah and Isaac secured second place, and everyone left with some great rewards, including Amazon and Chick-fil-A gift cards.
