Amateur Photographer Charles Beard Snaps Into Action as One of Marian's Top Football Fans
2009 graduate Marian Catholic graduate Charles Beard continues to support Spartan athletics. He attends many events, cheers for Marian athletes and takes photographs, too.
Chicago Heights native Charles Beard graduated from Marian Catholic High School in 2009. Two years later, he maintains his Spartan fan fever.
In fact, you could say he is an even bigger fan of Spartan athletics now than he was as a student. And he was a big fan then, too.
"Even though I am an alum, I am still a die-hard Marian fan at heart," Beard said. "I feel like it is my home and my niche."
