Jeff Clark – 2000
As basketball season begins, we are happy to announce our Alumni Spotlight on the legendary Jeff Clark, Class of 2000. During Jeff’s time as a Mustang, he was an avid athlete who excelled in basketball and baseball. Jeff was part of major team accomplishments during his Mustangs career. In 1998, the basketball team was the 10th Region Runner-Up and in 2000, the 10th Region Champions titles. In 1999, Jeff and the baseball team were the 10th Region Runner-Up’s. One of Jeff’s favorite memories from BBHS was getting to lead the basketball team onto the floor of Rupp Arena in the Sweet 16 in 2000. Jeff was also a proud member of the Yellow Bat club!
After graduating from BBHS, Jeff attended Cincinnati State and got a degree in Power Systems Engineering and started a family with his beautiful wife, Jen. Jeff and Jen have two sons who follow in their fathers athletic footsteps, Caleb and Austin. Today, Jeff works at Duke Energy as a Systems Control Technician in the natural gas department and volunteers his time to coaching basketball at St. Mary’s.
Keep being awesome, Jeff! #MustangPride

After graduating from BBHS Denise matriculated to NKU and received her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology/Criminology.

Denise served over 90 children and adults from the river cities for 2 years before hanging up her dance shoes to begin a career in non-profit.
She joined Brighton Center in 1999 because she “always knew that she wanted to help people” and, specifically, had always been attracted to serving “underdog” children and families in poverty. After 10 years, Denise was recruited to Life Learning Center in 2009 to be the Executive Director. She successfully grew programs; built, trained and managed staff, large volunteer teams and Board members, increased operating revenues as well as completed her MBA from NKU in
December 2018. In November 2022 Denise answered one more career call to join the interview process for DCCGH Center Children and Families. Denise began her most recent role as Executive Director for the DCCH Center on March 20, 2023.
Denise’s biggest personal accomplishments were marrying Dave Govan and raising their 2 children Haley Govan (Class of 21) and David Govan (Class of 22). Denise and her family along with 2 dogs Dasher and Griff live in Melbourne behind her parents Pearl and Neil Leonard. In her free time, she hosts senior Sunday meals and pool days for parents and
Dave’s parents!
Denise’s 2 fondest memories from BBHS were being selected as class clown and landing one of the leads in the class play -Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat! Proud to be a Mustang!!!
