Kenny Loggins, Yacht Rock, and Catholic School Leadership

Host: John Mihalyo

The Catholic School Leaders Podcast

Episode Overview

What does Kenny Loggins have to do with Catholic schools?

More than you might think.

In this episode, John uses the example of Kenny Loggins—known for songs like Footloose and Danger Zone—to explore how institutions sometimes forget the people who helped build them.

Catholic schools can fall into the same trap, losing touch with former parents, volunteers, board members, and donors who once played a major role in the school’s success.

Strong schools intentionally remember and steward those relationships.

Key Takeaways

1. Graduation is a transition, not an exit.

Families should remain part of the school community even after their children graduate.

2. Stay connected with former leaders.
