| About AlumniOnce a Regal…Always a RegalIn September 1958, Regina High School opened its doors for the first time with 295 students enrolled. In 1969, Regina expanded its student scope to admit 7th and 8th grade students. The Regina Elementary Center was added to the campus in 1987, serving K-6th grade students. In 1999, the entire PreK-12th grade complex was renamed the Regina Inter-Parish Catholic Education Center to aptly reflect Regina’s position as the collective parish school for each of the four Iowa City parishes. Regina’s current student enrollment PreK-12 is 1,000, with an additional 250+ public school students also served in the weekly religious education program. There are currently 3,202 Regina alumni, 107 of whom are deceased. Many Regina alums (1,554) have either chosen to remain or have returned to live and work in Iowa City and its surrounding communities. An additional 422 Regina alumni live elsewhere in the State of Iowa and 971 others throughout the United States. Fourteen alumni have addresses outside of the country. School officials report our newest alums, the Class of 2006, have 100% of their class attending post secondary institutions. Following in the Regina tradition of service to school, church, and community many alums continue to make a difference in their communities, state and in the world. Locally, Regina alumni have held the positions of Iowa State Representative, Johnson County Supervisor, Iowa City Mayor, Iowa City Council member, and board member on numerous non-profit boards. This scenario is repeated by other alumni across the nation. We encourage all alumni to answer the call to serve not only other charitable organizations, but their alma mater as well with these volunteer opportunities:
Regina Alumni Advisory CouncilsEstablished in 2006 the Regina Alumni Council provides insight, leadership and support to the school and Foundation with an emphasis on:
If you are interested or know someone who might be interested in the Regina Alumni Advisory Council contact April Rouner at the Catholic Community Foundation (319) 354-5866 or ccf@mchsi.com.
Regina Alumni Annual AppealRegina students and alumni will be calling alums/fellow classmates in the month of May to ask for support of the 2006-2007 Alumni Annual Appeal. Goal for the overall all Appeal is $200,000, with a goal of $25,000 for the alumni phase. Funds from the Annual Appeal have historically been used to support the mission of the Foundation to enhance the financial strength of Regina; help provide tuition assistance for Regina families; ensure Regina teachers are paid a just salary; facility maintenance and other special projects and programs of the school. If you are willing to help make calls or to help coordinate the efforts for the Alumni Appeal contact April Rouner at the Catholic Community Foundation (319) 354-5866 or ccf@mchsi.com.
Regina Alumni Flag BearersA new tradition began at Regina graduation ceremonies in 2004 that allows alumni to pass the torch and tradition on to the newest grads. Each graduating class since 1959 has a representative to carry their flag/banner to usher the soon-to-be graduates to their seats just prior to graduation ceremonies. It is a great “Hats Off to Thee” message and a salute to the heritage of a Regina Catholic education. If you would like to volunteer to carry a flag for your class on graduation day 2007 (Sunday, May 27), please contact April Rouner at the Catholic Community Foundation (319) 354-5866 or ccf@mchsi.com. Register to become a Regina Flag Bearer here.
Class AgentsMaintaining the alumni database in our transient society can be difficult. The Catholic Community Foundation would like to secure one person for each graduating class who would agree to keep us updated on the addresses and emails of others in their class. Additionally, with current email addresses we can save substantial printing and mailing costs of newsletters and other publications. Please contact April Rouner at the Catholic Community Foundation (319) 354-5866 or ccf@mchsi.com to assist in this way. Register here to become a Regina Class Agent.
