Steve Ruhe '77
La Salle High School played an important part in my development as a young man and its influence continues to guide me throughout my life.
I’ve experienced the bond with other La Salle graduates – my brothers, son, nephews, classmates, friends and others. I fully support La Salle’s Catholic Mission to help young men achieve their full potential. As a result, it has been important to me to promote the school through the Annual Fund, Camelot Auction and Sports Stag.
As a member of the Board of Limited Jurisdiction, I commit to focus my talents and energy to ensure more young men can experience the same supportive and challenging environment that benefited me in mind, body and spirit.
I’m a lifelong west side resident and graduate of St. James School-White Oak and La Salle High School (Class of 1977). My family includes my wife, Connie, and two children: Natalie graduated from McAuley High School in 2005 and Mark is a 2008 La Salle graduate. Both graduated from St. Ignatius of Loyola School.
We have been parishioners of St. I’s parish since 1987. I’ve been an engaged member, having served on the Pastoral Council and Worship Commission, participated in Christ Renews His Parish (CHRP) program, and was a parish sponsor for incoming Catholics through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) program. For several years I was an assistant leader for Boy Scout Troop 850 and helped coach grade school girls’ sports.
I’m retired from the commercial insurance industry, and have time to commit to important causes – especially La Salle. I’m also involved in St. I’s St. Vincent de Paul Society to provide spiritual and short-term financial support for neighbors in need.
