’15 and Audrey ’11 pictured on the field on Senior
Night. There was never a doubt for Todd & Chris
that their children would attend SHG. Todd cited the
discipline, the focus on doing things the right and
honorable way as some of the most notable benefits of attending SHG. He also feels that alumni of
SHG who come back to live and work in Springfield
have an established network of friends and family.
After much discussion and prayer, the SHG
Administration and Board decided to move
forward.
A native of Monmouth, Illinois, Green was
born and raised Catholic and attended Immaculate Conception School. He attended the
University of Arkansas and walked on to the
football team Lou Holtz’s first year of coaching
at the University. Green learned an enormous
amount from Holtz about football and about
life.

In 1983, Green moved to Springfield
after purchasing a Toyota dealership.
Todd is proud to call Springfield home,
believes in the people and is invested in
the community. He knows how important long-term relationships can be and
is committed to treating his clients and
friends right and doing what he says he’ll
do.
Green had a vision five years ago when
he put his plan in place for Cyclone Stadium. He imagined a complex that was
something impressive and pleasing to
fans and guests alike. Like any structure,
there are repairs and adjustments to be
made. Todd is often seen walking around
West Campus making mental notes about
any repairs that may need to be made
or anticipating upkeep that may need
to happen in the near future. Almost as
critical as the upkeep of the facility itself
to Todd, are the aesthetics – the beautiful
trees and landscape that are getting more
and more beautiful each season. There
are many times when Todd will have
repairs or enhancements made to the
Stadium and SHG will never see the bill.
He says he feels fortunate to be able to do
this and receives a tremendous amount of
enjoyment from it.
As fans enter the Stadium and walk
along the beautiful tree-lined brick
walkway, they will see the thousands of
names inscribed on the bricks of those
who contributed to the renovations of
the facilities and of the construction
of the Stadium. Corporate signs line
both fences as fans enter the Stadium,
and plaques are visible on almost every
structure, naming donors responsible for
this major undertaking that will be long
remembered as a momentous time in the
history of Sacred Heart-Griffin. Large
donor walls have been hung in the foyers of West Campus and Dominican Hall
recognizing those who stood behind
this effort. A smaller, but equally stunning brick walkway leads the way into
Dominican Hall.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The theme of our 2014 Homecoming was Candy-Land Fun. Traditionally, the festivities of Spirit
Week begin on Sunday with the “Powderpuff ” football game when the junior girls take on the senior
girls on the stadium turf for this fun experience that has long been a tradition at SHG. The camaraderie among the girls and their coaches, the boys from each respective class, is awesome to witness.
Monday the school week begins with a prayer service that is planned and lead by Student Council
and the O.P. Teens. All of the activities throughout the week generate the spirit for the game on
Friday night and the dance on Saturday. An added attraction last year was the Adult Homecoming
celebration at West Campus after the game. It was a grand celebration with over 400 people attending, renewing friendships, sharing memories and catching up. The Alumni Committee planned this
spirit-filled celebration. They also sponsored the Trivia Night held in February which brought many
hundreds of alums, past and present parents and friends of SHG to West Campus for a fun evening
of testing their memory skills along with enjoying fellowship with SHG supporters. A new event
which the Alumni Committee planned was the Spirit Sunday Walk/Run at the SHG stadium in the
spring. In spite of the rain, hundreds of SHG supporters showed up and walked thousands of laps
to earn scholarship dollars for SHG students. The enthusiasm of the alumni to continue to support
Academic Excellence in a Community of Faith is important to making us SHG.

EXECUTIVE TEAM
How often we hear, “You have to experience it to believe it.” Nothing could be truer about the
culture of SHG! As I reflect on the 2014-2015 school year, which seemed to fly by, there are so many
examples of the spirit that makes up the SHG community. With it being Homecoming week as I am
writing this letter, my thoughts go back to last year’s Homecoming week which set the stage for another successful school year. I am proud to highlight just a few accomplishments that made the year
memorable...I couldn’t possibly name them all!
Three of our teams went to state: girls’ golf, football and softball. We are very proud of our teams
and individual athletes who make it to state level competition. However, our Community of Faith is
most obvious in the recognition that two of our teams received in the IHSA Do What’s Right State
Final Sportsmanship Award. Notice that state recognition is not only limited to our sports teams.
All State Band was awarded to two of our SHG students and nine received All-State Musicians’
Award along with one “Best of the Day” rating. The Science Olympiad and Worldwide Youth in
Science and Engineering (WYSE) teams qualified for state competition. Our 2014-2015 SHG Yearbook staff was inducted into Walsworth Publishing’s “Gallery of Excellence,” which means that
last year’s yearbook was deemed one of the company’s best and will be used across the country as an
example of “what to do” in a yearbook.
You are an integral part of all that happens at Sacred Heart-Griffin. The financial and spiritual support you give to Sacred Heart-Griffin enables us to be SHG! Whether you are an alumnus, past or
present parent, grandparent, faculty/staff, or friend of SHG, you help us to live our mission. Each
year hundreds of Springfield area teenagers participate in a rigorous academic Gospel-based secondary education because of your generosity.

Contributed Services
Throughout the years, the Springfield Dominicans, the Viatorians and the Dominican
priests have supported Sacred Heart Academy, Cathedral Boys High School, Griffin
High School and Sacred Heart-Griffin by accepting only a fraction of their just earnings. In fiscal year 2014-15 alone, the contributed services of five Dominican Sisters
totaled $156,930. In addition to their contributed services in 2014-15, the Springfield
Dominican Sisters contributed $175,000 to the financial aid and scholarship fund. Our
SHG family extends heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to the Dominican Sisters for
their dedicated service and commitment to Catholic education.
SHG Internship Program
The SHG Internship Program, established in 2007, is a tuition assistance program offered to SHG juniors and seniors. This program,
administered by SHG, places qualified students in partnering businesses in the community. The student interns are introduced to a
wide range of work experiences and skills necessary in the professional world. Classroom work and business experience earn the
students 0.5 business elective credit. After the students have fulfilled all the requirements of the program, the partnering business
submits a check in the amount of $3,000, payable to SHG, which is credited to the student intern’s tuition account. SHG provides the
student interns with W-2 forms and pays for worker’s compensation insurance.
