regular school budget. In addition, the Foundation
awarded $170,000 in scholarships to our graduating
seniors at the Central High School Senior

 STUDENT IMPACT
The Mission of the Central High School Foundation is “To improve the education of present and future students at Central High School.” One way
the mission is fulfilled is through classroom grants. Below is a sampling of grants from the Central High School Foundation impacting CHS students.

SCIENCE DRAMA ATHLETICS

With funding from the CHSF, the Science
Department has purchased new lab equipment.
In the picture above, students are using
photogates to electronically measure the rotational
speed so that they can analyze the forces on a
hanging mass. With this apparatus, students get
a much better understanding of what’s going on
because they can make accurate measurements
rather than using the naked eye and a stopwatch.
The Drama Department was able to put on
several productions during the 2018-19 school
year, including the musical Guys and Dolls and the
drama A Voice in the Dark: A Salem Story. Funding
from the Central High School Foundation allows
the Drama Department to purchase the scripts,
costumes, and sets needed to make their
productions roaring successes.
With the challenge of not having a field located
next to the school, the baseball team plays at Boyd
Park and the softball team plays at Columbus
Park. Funding from the Central High School
Foundation helps maintain those facilities to
make sure they’re ready for our championship
teams to play on.

ACT TEST PREP HONORS WORLD RELIGIONS INCLUSIVE SPORTS CAMP

Central offers a six week test prep course after
school for juniors on free and reduced lunch who
have already taken the ACT but are looking to
improve their scores. Students have to apply for
the program and are selected based on things such
as GPA, extracurricular activities, and eagerness to
learn. The Central High School Foundation funds
these ACT test prep courses.
Students from the Honors World Religions
classes have the opportunity to visit different
places of worship in Omaha, including the Tri
Faith Initiative. Students have the opportunity
to ask questions to better understand a faith by
talking to someone of that faith. Being able to ask
questions further enhances what is learned in the
classroom. This experiential learning opportunity
is made possible through a CHSF grant.
The Inclusive Sports Camp is a week-long camp
that provides youth with or without disabilities
the opportunity to train and play together as
teammates. For the 30 students who participated,
each day focused on learning a new sport and
teambuilding. The students also learned the
importance of nutrition, budgeting, and cooking
healthy food. A grant from the Central High
School Foundation funds the camp supplies.

 EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Experiential learning is an educational strategy that combines the use of rigorous classroom curriculum instruction with outside of the
classroom curricular related learning experiences. Research has shown that when a school and its staff adopt the experiential learning strategy,
student learning outcomes are maximized for young people of all backgrounds. The Central High School Foundation, by providing Central High
School classroom experiential learning grants, has allowed our teachers and students, in all curricular areas, the opportunity to supplement and
enhance the Central School High educational experience in way that is unmatched by other public schools in the Metro Omaha area.

“ Last month, I was able to attend the International

Career Development Conference with DECA. It was an
amazing experience where I connected with so many
interesting people. Thank you to the Central High School “
Foundation for helping make this trip possible!
Lauren Lewis, CHS 2020
Ten Eagles qualified for the DECA International Career Development Conference
in Orlando this March. Among the attendees was Lauren Lewis (‘20), who was
elected as the Vice President of Business Partnerships at the state competition earlier
this year. A grant from the Central High School Foundation covered transportation
costs for these students to attend the conference. The mission of DECA is to prepare
emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and
management in high schools and colleges around the globe.

“ My Central High School education has furthered me

in research, writing, and group-oriented skills. I enjoy
being academically challenged and CHS is wonderful
for preparing for college and career settings.
“
Aaliyah Thompson, CHS 2020

34 students from the Freshman History class visited the National World War I
Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. This experience helped fuse classroom learning
to the experiential learning by seeing tanks, uniforms, and weapons. In addition,
students participated in a scavenger hunt and listened to historical experts speak
about WWI. The Central High School Foundation pays for the transportation
cost as well as the cost of any free or reduced lunch student who attends.

“ Being involved in music at Central builds a supporting

community of students. The funding that the performing
arts department receives from the Central High School
Foundation allows us to increase our musicianship and “
continue building a strong community of musicians.
Gabi Rock, CHS 2019

In 2017, the A Capella Choir took a four-day trip to Chicago to participate in the
Windy City Festival. In 2018 and 2019, Bel Canto and A Capella took trips to attend
the Worlds of Fun Music Festival in Kansas City. These ensembles are diverse student
groups, with each trip involving 50-80 students and consisting of 30-45% students on
free or reduced lunch. The Central High School Foundation paid for the
transportation, entrance fees, and hotel accommodations for these trips, helping to
close the opportunity gap.

Robert
Holts
C.M. “Nick”
Newman
Robert Holts
CHS 1946
Holts helped pave the way
for the integration of the U.S.
armed services by serving
with the famed Tuskeegee
Airmen during World War
II. As the product of an
integrated high school, Holts
was surprised to find when
he enlisted in the Army in
1942 that white and black
soldiers were segregated.
While most black soldiers
served in non-combat support
roles, Holt was assigned to
the 332nd Fighter Group and
447th Bombardment Group
in Tuskeegee, Alabama, the
first African-American
fighting air squadrons. He
passed the qualifying exam
and was admitted into
aviation training. As Holts
later put it, he eventually
“washed out” of the rigorous
training program. But he
would remain with the
Tuskeegee Airmen in a
support role, serving as a
draftsman under legendary
Tuskeegee commander
Benjamin O. Davis. The
valor and performance of the
Tuskeegee airmen helped
shoot down claims blacks
were not fit for combat,
within a decade leading to full
integration of all U.S. armed
services. After the war, Holts
served as a postal worker in
Detroit before retiring in
Omaha.

Zahn McClarnon C.M. “Nick” Newman Richard Speier Madree Penn White Eugene Zweiback
CHS 1986 CHS 1943 CHS 1958 CHS 1909 CHS 1955

McClarnon has earned
accolades during a
three-decade Hollywood
acting career, often playing
roles reflective of his Native
American heritage. Born to a
Native American mother and
Irish father, he grew up in a
number of western states
before landing in Omaha and
at Central. He credits
longtime Central drama
teacher Peggy Stommes for
helping infect him with the
acting bug. After moving
to Los Angeles in the early
1990s, he got his start with
cameo roles on TV shows
like “Murphy Brown” and
“Baywatch.” That soon led to
regular work in both TV and
movies, McClarnon racking
up more than 70 credits. He
got his first big break in 2005
playing Running Fox in the
Golden Globe-nominated
“Into the West.” He played
Chief Matthias in the
long-running Netflix Western
crime drama “Longmire,”
and earned acclaim from the
New York Times and Wall
Street Journal in 2015 for his
scene-stealing role as Hanzee
Dent in FX’s “Fargo.” He had
a lead role in the 2017 AMC
Western series “The Son,”
where he played a Comanche
chief, and in 2018 played a
recurring role on the critically
acclaimed HBO series “West
World.” His distinguished
career continues today.
Newman proved a visionary
in growing his family’s
grocery business into a
regional industry leader, but
his most lasting contributions
came through his dedication
to equality and helping the
disadvantaged. After
attending MIT and Stanford,
he earned an MBA at the
University of Chicago.
Shortly thereafter, he became
president of Hinky Dinky,
transforming it from a chain
of 30 small groceries into 45
modern supermarkets. An
industry innovator, he then
developed a concept of
operating food departments
within department stores,
at its zenith featuring 40
locations from coast to coast.
Newman possessed a
dedicationto equal
employment opportunities
that went far beyond his
stores. He was one of the
founders of the Boys Club
of Omaha, funded new
playgrounds in north Omaha
and helped launch a new
minority-owned community
bank. He also served as
president of Goodwill
Industries and Omaha’s
Jewish Federation. His life
was tragically cut short in
1973 at age 47 by cancer.
Shortly before his death, he
was awarded the Nebraska
Urban League’s first
Whitney Young Memorial
Award for his contributions
to civil rights and equality.
One can only Imagine what
he would have accomplished
had he lived a full life.
Speier established himself as
an international expert in
nuclear nonproliferation,
playing a major role in
preserving the peace during
the nuclear age. He combined
an undergraduate degree in
physics from Harvard with a
doctorate in political science
from MIT, leading to his
unique career. He first helped
reshape the nation’s nuclear
and space programs in the
White House Office of
Management and Budget.
He then analyzed nuclear
technologies for the Arms
Control and Disarmament
Agency and spent a year
at the National Defense
University, co-authoring a
prize-winning study, “The
Bomb in Southwest Asia.” In
1982, he joined the Secretary
of Defense under President
Ronald Reagan to start the
Office of Nonproliferation
Policy. He spent over four
years working to design,
negotiate and implement
an international policy to
hinder the spread of missiles
capable of delivering nuclear
weapons. The Secretary of
Defense awarded him a
Meritorious Civilian Service
Medal in 1988, calling the
policy of “major and lasting
significance” and lauding
Speier’s “immense industry,
expertise, imagination, and
above all unswerving tenacity
of purpose.” Speier continues
to consult on national security
for the RAND Corporation.
White blazed a trail for
thousands of women by
helping found the nation’s
largest predominantly black
sorority. White grew up in
Omaha and then graduated
with honors from Central.
At Howard University in
Washington, DC she was an
accomplished linguist and a
leader in the campus NAACP.
She also served as the first
female staffer of the school’s
newspaper. In 1913, she was
credited with conceiving
the idea for a sorority that
would focus on service and
advancement of women
instead of social activities.
She chaired the committee
that drafted the constitution
for Delta Sigma Theta,
selected its signature Greek
letters and became its second
president. As the
organization’s first activity,
it became active in the
women’s suffrage movement
in Washington. More than
1,000 chapters were
eventually created around
the world. During her career
she taught and worked as a
journalist in both St. Louis
and Cleveland, helping found
Delta chapters in both cities.
She was honored by the
Cleveland League of Women
Voters before her death in
1967 at age 75.
As one of Omaha’s best
known general and
vascular surgeons, Zweiback
has mended many hearts
and shown a big one outside
the operating room through
his charitable endeavors.
Zweiback earned his “Speedy”
nickname as an athlete at
Central before going on to
Princeton University and then
received a medical degree
from Columbia University
College of Physicians and
Surgeons. Military service
followed and Major Zweiback
served as chief of surgery at
the Air Force Academy
Hospital in Colorado
Springs. Following a post
graduate vascular fellowship
under world renowned heart
surgeon Michael De Bakey,
he returned to his native
Omaha. His primary practice
was at Clarkson Hospital,
but he practiced throughout
the city including two years
as president of the Midlands
Hospital staff. He also served
as president of the
Metropolitan Omaha
Medical Society and spent
three decades as a surgical
instructor at the University
of Nebraska Medical Center.
Charitable work has included
volunteering to provide
medical services for the
indigent in both Phoenix and
Omaha. He has served on the
boards of Special Olympics,
University of Nebraska
Internal Review Board and
the Jewish Community
Center.

2019-20 GENERATION "C" CHAIRS
ANDREA FRIEDMAN (‘97), AMY FRIEDMAN, SANDY FRIEDMAN (‘64), DUSTIN FRIEDMAN (‘00)
MEET THE FRIEDMAN FAMILY
The Friedman Family has been involved at Central High
School for over a century, and we’re honored to have them
as the chairs for the 2019-20 Generation “C” campaign.
Amy and Sandy Friedman (’64) are the proud parents of
two Eagles: Andrea (’97), and Dusty (’00). Although they
are retired now, Amy and Sandy continue to stay involved
and embody the spirit of commitment, caring and
generosity to help improve the greater Omaha community
as well as Central High School. Andrea and Dusty also
have accepted the responsibility of involvement in their
respective communities and remain committed to their
alma mater.
Sandy graduated from the University of Nebraska
at Omaha in 1968, earning a degree in Economics. His
business career spanned nearly five decades of founding
and operating several businesses across a diverse range of
fields. In 2001 he sold his last business, Customer Service
Profiles. He continued to help other Omaha businesses
address specific challenges before retiring to try to
perfect his golf game. During his career, he also served
his community on numerous boards including Girls Club
of Omaha, Omaha Symphony and Jewish Federation of
Omaha. In addition, he served as the president of the
Anti-Defamation League, Beth El Synagogue and
National Conference of Christians and Jews. He has
received several awards over the years, but he is most
proud of his induction into the Central High School Hall
of Fame in 2017.
Amy’s legacy to Central dates back to her mother
Molline Rubin Cassman (’48) and grandparents Arthur
Rubin (’12) and Sarah Tuchman Rubin (’11). Amy earned
an undergraduate degree from Northwestern University in
communications and a master’s degree in broadcast
journalism from Boston University. She had a 40 year
career in public relations, spending the majority of time
as a communications director in the public school system.
During this time she served on the boards of Ballet
Omaha, Henry Doorly Zoo Women’s Board, Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation, Jewish Family Service and the
Assistance League Advisory Board. Amy was also elected
to a four year term on the Learning Community
Coordinating Council. In addition, she served on the PTA
board of Central and co-chaired the scholarship auction
during the time her children attended Central. She was
named a Woman of Vision by YWCA in 2000 and
received the Professional of the Year award by the
Nebraska Chapter of the Public Relations Society of
America in 2011.
Andrea graduated magna cum laude from the
University of Missouri in 2002 with a degree in
Journalism. She played tennis for the Tigers on a full
scholarship and earned Academic All-American honors.
She went on to earn an MBA from the International
University in Geneva/Pace University. Currently, Andrea
lives in New York City where she started and runs her
own business.
Dusty earned an Industrial Engineering degree from
Northwestern University in 2004 and an MBA degree in
finance from Emery University. He worked on Wall Street
for several years before returning to Omaha to work for
Tenaska. Currently, Dusty works in Corporate Business
Development for Aon Risk Solutions. He serves on the
board of the Jewish Community Center and was
appointed by Mayor Stothert to the Omaha City Zoning
Board of Appeals. Dusty and his wife Candice have a

On the morning of June 11, more than 200 donors, alumni, and faculty members were in
attendance for the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Dr. G.E. and Betty Moller Legacy
Walkway and the Jepsen Family Legacy Plaza.
The ceremony began with an introduction from Executive Director Michele Roberts before
a brief message from current Central High School principal Dr. Edward Bennett. Then
Central High School Foundation Board Member and former CHS principal Dr. Keith
Bigsby had the honor to introduce the distinguished guest - Doc Moller. Doc, who taught
at Central for 32 years and was principal for the last 27, talked about his tenure and how
important his wife Betty was to Central’s successes.
The Dr. G.E. and Betty Moller Legacy Walkway is named in honor of Central’s
longest-tenured and beloved principal, Doc Moller. This generous gift, donated by the Class
of 1995, will forever honor one of the greatest principals ever to walk the halls of Central.
The Legacy Walkway runs diagonally from 20th and Dodge to the southeast corner of the
school. The Jepsen Family Legacy Plaza is named in honor of the Jepsen Family and the
numerous generations of Jepsen family members that have attended Central High School.
The Legacy Plaza is on the east side of the school on the roof of the Arts and Library
Addition. To watch the Ribbon Cutting ceremony in its entirety, visit the Central High

 LEGACY SPOTLIGHT
DOUGLAS J. PERRY
1948-2018
Laura Perry (CHS 1996) sat inconspicuously in the
darkness of Central’s auditorium with her four-year-old
daughter in her lap and her step mother, Nancy Roberts, at
her side. It was the 2018-2019 Senior Recognition Night,
and she watched with weighted reflection as a
soon-to-be-graduate of Central High School, her family’s
alma mater, received the Duane M. Perry Mathematics
Award. Watching the student walk across the stage to
receive a scholarship bearing her family’s name was an
emotional moment for Laura. The scholarship -
established in memory of her Grandfather, Duane Perry,
who taught math at Central High School before becoming
the Head of Mathematics for Omaha Public Schools - was
started by her father, Doug Perry, CHS 1966. Doug deeply
respected the legacy of his late father, and considered
Central High School his home. His father taught math
while he was a student there, and his friends recalled how
he always toed the line between being a wild, fun-loving
teenager and the son of a teacher at his school. When
Doug had his own daughters, Kristen (CHS 1994) and
Laura (CHS 1996), he knew they would also be
Eagles. He was certain they would continue their legacy
even years before they were ready for high school, toting
them along to Senior Recognition ceremonies where he
himself would hand out the scholarship to bright-eyed
students. Laura was around three-years-old during that
time, and remembered her father’s enthusiasm for the
school, the scholarship, the memory of his father, and the
opportunity to help other Eagles soar…
Doug unexpectedly passed away October 20, 2018. This
was the first Senior Recognition ceremony in which he
would not be there to see a Central High School senior
benefit from the scholarship he started.
“Ever since I was little Central has been a part of our
life,” said Laura. “My dad had a lot of pride in that school,
and was very involved.” He was in concert band, played
football, was a member of the Junior Honors Society, the
Junior Classical League, and the Math Club. He was also
a member of the O-Club, participated in the Road Show,
and was on the swim team.
Despite the busy high school schedule, Doug had a close
group of five friends who remained like brothers until
his death. Dennis Tibbetts (CHS 1965) recalled a long
childhood playing with Doug in the streets, running out
of the house after breakfast only to return right before
dinner. “Doug’s leadership emerged early,” said Dennis.
“He schemed constantly: the next party, an elaborate but
good-natured practical joke, or even coordinated outfits
for an Eagle cheering squad that he commissioned. I knew
when the phone rang at 5 o’clock, I’d answer it to hear
Doug’s voice saying, ‘Okay, I’ll pick you up at 6:45
14 and Rusty at 7. Then…’ He planned my life.”
Central High School built the foundation Doug needed
for a lifetime of success, said Jim Wigton, who recalled
that his friend’s athletic and academic prowess earned
him an appointment at the Naval Academy and a spot
at Stanford. Doug chose to attend Stanford and earned
his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. He remained at
Stanford and later earned his master’s degree in structural
engineering and specialized in earthquakes.
After returning to Omaha, he joined Northwestern Bell
and filled various engineering management positions as he
started his family with his first wife, whom he met at
Stanford. While at Northwestern Bell, he joined the
Jaycees, and later became the President of the Omaha
Chapter. The Jaycees were very active in working for the
successful implementation of bussing in Omaha, and also
promoted women’s rights. Always concerned with social
justice, Doug also facilitated racial literacy training at
Northwestern Bell.
He was known for his community service: he was an active
member of the Chamber of Commerce, was on the boards
of the Omaha Community Playhouse, NPTV, Leadership
Omaha, Landmarks, CHS PTA, and the Governor’s
Commission on Higher Education. And more importantly,
he coached his daughter’s softball teams.
Eventually Doug ventured out on his own to start a
business. With his partners he began Abacus, a small
company which successfully marketed Apple
microcomputers. But after Apple decided on a different
national marketing strategy, Abacus lost its product and
Doug then moved to the Valcom division of Valmont.
After his career at Valmont he moved to Inacom, where
he was Vice President of Marketing and later joined the
AIM Institute in Omaha, where he became involved with
IT workforce training. From Omaha, Doug moved to
Carlsbad, CA with his second wife, Nancy Roberts, and
joined two internet start-ups: Encanto and Kinzan. This
cemented his ties to Southern California, where he and
Nancy purchased a home.
With one more move back to Omaha for a medical
software firm, Doug then finished his career at the energy
company Tenaska, where he was an asset manager. While
there, he mentored students for “Teammates,” a program
started by Tom Osborne, which Tenaska supported. He
retired in 2017.
“Doug ultimately saw himself as an entrepreneur, and
sought to add value to any community he was a part
of,” said his wife, Nancy. “He was always working in the
tech world, often on management teams, and loved to be
challenged by new processes and technologies involved in
building a business.”
As much as he valued his professional career, he valued
being a father more. His daughter, Kristen, described him
as a caring and dedicated Dad, who valued the individual
strengths and personalities of his children and
grandchildren.
“My dad was an engineer and my grandfather was a
mathematics teacher, but I hated math,” she Kristen, who
loved to read and was the Editor-in-Chief of The Register.
“I felt a lot of pressure to be good at math, especially going
to a school where there was a mathematics scholarship
with my family’s name on it. It was something that a few
of my math teachers even reminded me of. But my dad
never pushed me. I remember him telling me my senior
year of high school, ‘I don’t expect you to try to get the
Perry scholarship, but I do think you could win the
English one…’ And I did!”
Nancy said that Doug had no plans to relax in retirement.
He maintained an active spirit and wanted to continue
giving back to the community. He enjoyed sailing, running,
swimming, fly fishing, and Tai Chi. He even studied to
become a sailing instructor, which was a new vocation that
suited him; “his students loved him,” said Nancy.
On October 20th of last year, Doug went on a run along
the beach near their house in Southern California. “He
found great peace and enjoyment running along the
beach,” said Nancy. It was during this run that he
unexpectedly experienced a fatal heart attack.
Through the hardship of their father’s passing, Kristen and
Laura made sure that the Perry Legacy didn’t end with his
passing. The scholarship was renamed to the Duane M.
and Douglas J. Perry Mathematics Award, and, for their
father’s funeral, they requested that donations be made to
the scholarship fund in lieu of flowers.
“My grandfather came from humble origins: he survived
the Depression in rural Nebraska, he served in World War
II and managed to really make a contribution to Central
High School and Omaha Public Schools. My father was
raised by a school teacher and a secretary, but was able to
graduate from Stanford and build a successful career,” said
Kristen.
I hope current Central students and
recent graduates will take this from our
family’s story: Central is a place which
builds excellence. It opens doors of
opportunity and gives you the confidence
to become something extraordinary
despite where you may have started.
This Central legacy was on Laura’s mind as she sat in the
auditorium of Central that evening, watching another
recipient of her father’s scholarship head off into their
future the same way that she, her father, and her sister did
when they graduated from Central. Through this
scholarship, the Perry family -- and by extension, the Perry
legacy -- consists of much more than just the members of
their family. It includes each student who has used their
support to further their education, lift up their peers, and
give back to their communities.
