Past, Present and Future Patriots,
Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Erik Ramsey. I have recently accepted the position of Director of Student Development and am honored to be chosen for this opportunity. The crucial responsibilities of this position have been most recently and honorably fulfilled by the likes of Greg Derus, Ben Rulli ‘03 and Dave Wolodkiewicz, who have left big shoes to fill. My gratitude is exceeded only by my excitement, as this role allows me to continue my journey of giving back to the Archbishop Carroll community that has given so much to myself and my family.
After traveling, via the Air Force, from California to Nebraska and to the Philippines with my mom (JoeElla), dad (William) and sisters (Erin ‘99 and Paz), we settled in Beavercreek and were introduced to Carroll. Since then, I have served many roles at Carroll, from being a graduate of the Class of 1993 to a coach to a teacher to the spouse of a graduate (Sara Whitener ‘95) to the parent of a graduate (Eli ‘18), a current senior (Isaiah ‘25), and a future Patriot (Ella ‘31, a current student at St. Helen Catholic School), who have all been raised in this community. I have served with Carroll in numerous other capacities and am thankful that this new position will still allow me to have an impact in the classroom, teaching the newly offered class, American Culture and Social Responsibility and through coaching with the boys’ basketball program.
I cherish the opportunity to directly and thoroughly assist our present and future students in their pursuit of our mission to form “a life of virtue, academic excellence and service to the common good.” My ultimate goal is for all of our students to leave Archbishop Carroll with the same love and appreciation for this community that I and many others share, embrace their opportunities to give back, and bless the lives of others. I not only welcome you all to join in this journey with me but even more so, I am looking forward to it.
Gratefully,
Erik S. Ramsey ‘93
Director of Student Development
