Madeline Murphy '25

Congratulations to Madeline Murphy ’25 who is a semifinalist competing for National Merit Scholar recognition.  We have watched Madeline lead the pack on the cross country course since seventh grade and her county, district and state accolades have inspired us to admire her grit and intrinsic drive. She loves most subjects, and claims math and science to be her favorites. In addition to running cross country and track, she plays softball, is a student ambassador, a study council representative, and President of National Honor Society. Madeline will embrace academic life on a college or university campus where she intends to study Bio Medical Engineering or Biology. We are so proud of her and all that she has accomplished at York Catholic, and know that she will be as successful on the collegiate level and beyond. We wish Madeline the best as her senior year unfolds and she charts her next course.

Parent
Angelica Harris, Parent

Angelica Harris is one of York Catholic’s biggest fans.  She is an enthusiastic cheerleader who encourages parent involvement and takes every opportunity to talk to friends (and strangers) about the benefits of a York Catholic education.  She is a valued volunteer who is often seen at York Catholic events lending her time and talent to the success of the occasion.  We thank Mrs. Harris for her continued support of YC!

 

Alumni
Jeff Merritt '80

Jeff Merritt ’80 was named a 2024 Pennsylvania State University Alumni Fellow, the most prestigious designation given by the Penn State Alumni Association, and earned by less than 1% of PSU graduates. Jeff has been instrumental in the advancement of York Catholic Middle & High School through his volunteerism as the School Board Chair and leader among the Capital Campaign Cabinet. Jeff met his wife, Jean, while both were students at York Catholic. Jean later returned to YC to teach math, and their three children are also YC alumni.

Faculty & Staff
Kathy Hand

Kathy Hand started her career at York Catholic as an English teacher and rose to the position of Director of Studies where she was responsible for scheduling classes for all of our students in middle school and high school. 

Mrs. Hand was also named Chair of the Reaccreditation Committee that York Catholic goes through every seven years with the Middle States Association of Secondary Schools.  The reaccreditation process is a job within itself with numerous steps, reports, and surveys to create, gather, and interpret in the arduous task of setting objectives and establishing steps to reach the goals.  

In July 2024, Mrs. Hand was named Interim Principal of York Catholic Middle & High School.  She will continue to oversee the academic side of both schools.
