Mr. Lou Rotunda was a man whose service and dedication to Elyria Catholic High School over a span of 50
some years earned him the moniker, “Mr. EC.” Most of his adult life found him immersed in the lives of the
students he loved through the roles as teacher, coach and friend. Mr. Rotunda is the most perfect example of
the vibrant life of the Elyria Catholic mission built upon the pillars of Excellence, Compassion, Faith, Tradition
and Community. He is and will forever be a living spirit of the legacy of “a loyalty that never dies.” This
