Dru (Shields) Carlisle, BCHS Class of 2004, sends us news that she celebrated the birth of her second baby, Quinn, in October 2024.

She recounts she has too many great memories to choose a favorite, “but getting to be a part of the cheerleading squad that cheered on our 2001, 2002, and 2003 Football State Champs plus our 2003 Basketball State Champs was very fun”.

Zach Hartley,  BCHS Class of 2009, a talent agent representing some of the top artists in the industry, is celebrating a groundbreaking achievement with client Drew Baldridge.

Baldridge recently made history as the first country artist to earn a #1 single — “She’s Somebody’s Daughter” — without the backing of a record label. Now signed with Broken Bow Records, he continues his success with his follow-up single, “Tough People,” which has already entered the top 10 and is climbing toward #1.

On June 6, 2025, Baldridge will take the stage at TCU Amphitheater in Indianapolis, opening for Bailey Zimmerman. Hartley is based in United Talent Agency’s (UTA) Nashville, TN office.

Cindy (Brames) Scheuer, BCHS Class of 1979, will be retiring in May 2025 after 27 years in high school education. She will spend time traveling, visiting their 3 children and grandchild.

Nyamekye Proctor, BCHS Class of 1995, and a 2001 Indiana University graduate, just released his new book, ‘Spoken Words Can Never Be Unsaid’.

Rooted in biblical principles, it explores the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21) through scripture, real-life testimonies, and practical applications.

The book is available on Amazon at this link.

Congratulations on your book, Nyamekye!

Grace McGinley, BCHS Class of 2023, has created a book to highlight one of University of Dayton’s claims to fame, the Sheets of UD.

The University of Dayton’s student neighborhood is like no other. Each house has its own character built on the special stories and memories that have been mutually developed by students past and present.  If you have ever walked down streets like Kiefaber or Lowes, you have most likely seen at least one bed sheet dandling from a house, porch or window.

One of the most distinctive traditions on the UD campus is the sheet signs that students create and hang up on the houses. Over the last 6 decades, there have been thousands upon thousands of messages proudly displayed as an entertaining way for students to express their appreciation and fondness for their UD community. Such signs can easily be seen year-round highlighting many different events and happenings across campus, including Welcome Weekend, Family Weekend, College Gameday, Dayton Daytona, St. Patrick’s Day and various holidays, to name a few.

All photos were taken by Grace and she hopes the book brings Flyers from all over the country together by reflecting on this special tradition. All proceeds from this book will be donated to UD for tuition assistance. Great job, Grace!

Keith Boggs, BCHS Class of 1975, boxing promoter and trainer, has played a pivotal role in the growth and organization of amateur boxing in Indiana. His passion for the sport and the excitement of a well-executed event led him to a longstanding career in boxing promotion. As the organizer of Indiana’s annual Golden Gloves tournament—one of the most prestigious events in the boxing—Boggs oversees six consecutive weeks of competition from March to April. Beyond promoting, he has dedicated himself to training and developing young athletes, including those with special needs. In addition to his contributions to boxing, Boggs is a nationally-ranked karate athlete and holds a third-degree black belt.

Zack Martin, BCHS Class of 2009, retired after an impressive 11-season career with the Dallas Cowboys. A dominant force on the offensive line, Martin earned seven first-team All-Pro selections, two second-team honors, and made nine Pro Bowl appearances, starting all 162 games he played.

Before his standout NFL career, he excelled at Notre Dame, earning second-team All-American recognition in 2012.

His journey to football greatness began at Bishop Chatard, where he played a key role in leading the Trojans to back-to-back Class 3A state championships.

After teaching middle schoolers for 4 years, Sarah Fulton, BCHS Class of 2018, decided to move on to high school students and began teaching Freshman and Sophomore Honors English at Bishop Chatard. She is so happy to be back and teaching the next batch of Trojans — and we are glad to have her back!
