2021 Alumni Honorees ​

Alumni of the Year
Honoring Campion alumni who have impacted their communities in a positive and mighty way.  
Kathy Hodgson Binder, class of 1972, came back to Campion in 1989, teaching Home Economics soon after her son was born, having married Kevin Binder in 1979. Over the years, she continued to add on more classes until she was full-time. She taught over 30 years at Campion, with 43 total years in teaching. In addition to teaching, Kathy has been a Student Association sponsor for over 10 years, helping student leaders plan many fun activities throughout the years. She is known in more recent years for accepting the challenge to teach with the hands-on learning initiative and taught projects such as building miniature silo houses out of #10 cans and having her students learn about starting a small business by having a food truck fair – the students coming up with their own food truck themes. Kathy’s care and concern for each student has been the basis of her career as a teacher. She loved having students to her house for faculty families and now continues to serve Campion as a member of the Board. One of the best things currently happening in Kathy, and Kevin’s life, is that they’re expecting their first grandchild any day now.
Kevin Binder, class of 1971, has served more than 20 years on the Campion Academy Alumni Association Board. Marrying Kathy in 1979, Kevin didn’t let a little thing like a construction company, Binder Building, keep him from supporting Kathy’s teaching career. He has been so involved in Campion Academy life that he was basically another staff member! It became tradition for him to create the bulletin board every year for Kathy’s classroom. And, when it came to all the prep work for those miniature silo houses, it was Kevin who spent hours helping the students cut out their pieces. Kevin was also the contractor for the remodeling of Hankins Hall, as well as volunteering his time to work on renovations and projects like updating the kitchens in the home ec classroom. Kevin, too, loved hosting students at their house for faculty families. And any time Kathy was “on duty” on the weekends, he was there, helping to drive and being friendly and supportive of the students. With all that practice, we’re sure Kevin is going to make an amazing Grandpa.
Kenny Gregerson, class of 1971, has worked on the Campion Academy Alumni Association Board for over 30 years. He is very passionate about his alma mater and equally so about bringing friends back together - not only in his class, but for all the classes. Whether they lived on campus or in the village, home or with relatives, they are all brothers and sisters to him. He has been involved with starting scholarship, specifically the Miriam Kittrell Scholarships, and helped start the Reeder Golf Classic. Kenny did 1 year at Union College and then went to Aims Community College. After that, he went back to the family dairy farm. 35 years ago, he met his now wife, Barb O’Dell and they left the farm and moved into Longmont. They were married in 1987 where he became an instant father to Steve 13, now 47, twin girls, Lisa and Laura 10, now 44. That was the biggest highlight of his life until 3 grandchildren, starting in 1999. He retired from Aggregate Industry 2.5 years ago and now helps his parents on a daily basis. His passions are his faith, family, friends, cars and golf.
Alumni of the Year honorees Kathy Binder, '72, Kevin Binder, '71, and Kenny Gregerson, '71.

2019 Honorees

Alumni of the Year
Honoring Campion alumni who have impacted their communities in a positive and mighty way. 

Gillian Seton, MD, is a 1999 graduate of Campion Academy. After graduation, Dr. Seton completed a bachelor of arts in humanities at Walla Walla University, her medical degree at Loma Linda University, and a general surgery residency at the University of Utah. In early 2014, she moved to Cooper Adventist Hospital in Monrovia, Liberia, just before the staggering Ebola outbreak reached the country. Although conditions were difficult, she decided to remain and the hospital struggled through maintaining emergency medical services for non-Ebola patients. During the following 5 years, challenges and joys have come and gone, including the adoption of a little boy, Devine. Since immigration for her son is currently blocked, she continues to work in international medical service.
Rob Pride, Class of 1991, is a proud Campion graduate from the Class of 1991 after attending all 4 years of high school there. He returned to Campion during the 1993-1994 school year as a task force dean and student teacher as part of his studies at Union College. During his year as task force dean, Rob had the opportunity to attend the Weld County police academy as a volunteer reserve deputy. This led to a change in his career path and he was hired by the Louisville, CO police department in September of 1994. Rob holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice Administration and is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Emergency Management from Columbia Southern University. Hired by the Loveland Police Department in 1998, he has served Loveland for the past 21 years and currently holds the rank of Sergeant. During his time at the Loveland Police Department his has served in the gang unit, as a detective in the drug task force, a detective in the criminal investigations unit, team leader for the SWAT Hostage Negotiations team and the coordinator for the Field Training Unit which trains new officers on the department and prepares them for a career in police work. Rob has been actively involved in advocating for those in the police profession and leading efforts for awareness in the areas of PTSD and police suicide prevention. He has held various local and state leadership positions. Rob has volunteered at Campion over the years as an assistant girls’ basketball coach, basketball game announcer and given talks during chapel and other events to students on various topics. Rob attributes much of his career and life success to the relationships, spiritual lessons and mentorship he developed from the faculty and staff at Campion Academy during his time there and is forever grateful to all of them!
