Message FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL It is hard to believe that I am beginning my third year as head of school. It is truly an honor and a privilege to serve this wonderful community. The 2019-2020 school year promises to be full of excitement and nostalgia as we celebrate our 50th Red & Gold production and the 55th anniversary of the founding of our great school. Reaching these incredible anniversaries could not have been accomplished without your constant support. Our community continued to grow in strength and in number with your consistent support, fulfilling our mission and building lasting relationships with one another. With growth must come form, the structures and agreements that support and sustain our programs and allow for healthy communication within our organization. The administration, faculty, staff, and consultative school board worked diligently to clarify roles and establish a framework for working towards the school’s mission, vision, and charism. One significant advancement was the addition of an assistant head of school/principal. In March, Mr. Sean Basford joined our community. In his role Our community continued to grow in strength and in he will serve as principal, educational number with your consistent support, fulfilling our mission leader, and curriculum guide. He brings and building lasting relationships with one another. over 25 years in education as assistant principal, teacher, college counselor, and educational technology specialist. His outstanding credentials and service to Santa Margarita Catholic High School made him the obvious choice to continue to advance Rosary Academy’s curriculum and academic excellence. As the head of school, I am often asked “What is your vision for Rosary?” My answer is always what is “our” vision for Rosary? The question made me realize it was time to define “our vision.” Therefore, in January 2019, Rosary Academy embarked on the creation of its first formal strategic plan. It is time for fresh planning, new thinking and ideas, and priorities that will move us well beyond where we have been and to lead us into a thriving future. The plan is the result of extensive community engagement and the thoughtful work over several months with a strategic planning team. The planning team was comprised of the standing strategic planning committee which focused on core areas. Together, they researched and analyzed these areas to reinforce our mission, vision, and guiding principles by creating surveys, analyzing data, and conducting focus groups and interviews. With a long-term strategic focus, Rosary will be well poised to enhance our financial landscape to continue providing an excellent all-girl Catholic education. The goal is to continue to provide a solid comprehensive curriculum for college preparation, including enrichment in foreign language, fine arts, and religion, as well as extracurricular programs that promote teamwork, leadership, social development, and physical well-being. Rosary Academy would not be the wonderful place it is today without the commitment of our faculty and staff, students, alumnae, families, and friends. Your support allows us to continue to serve young women who will answer God’s call as our Blessed Mother did and make a positive impact on our world. Yours in Christ,
Shawna L. Pautsch, Ed.D. Head of School 4

Message
FROM THE PRINCIPAL/ ASSISTANT HEAD OF SCHOOL
As I begin my first official year as principal/assistant head of school of Rosary Academy, I am aware that in four short years the current freshman class will be the first graduating class of seniors that had me as their principal for their high school experience. I enjoyed participating in the Class of 2019’s graduation ceremony, and I look forward to experiencing many more celebrations. Although I am still very new, I am starting to understand what it means to be a Rosary Royal, and more importantly, to be part of the Rosary community and family. Being part of the Rosary community is truly We will continue to be a learning a blessing. I am teaching Honors Algebra I, community dedicated to our Catholic and I have enjoyed getting to know students faith and academic excellence. at the classroom level. We have a great student population with immense potential. The Rosary faculty and staff understand this and continuously strive to make Rosary a safe, faith-filled educational environment for every student. I am committed to using data to make informed decisions regarding our instructional practice, and aligning teaching and learning to high standards, where our young women maximize their academic achievement. We will continue to be a learning community dedicated to our Catholic Faith and academic excellence. I cannot begin to express how blessed I am to have joined such a remarkable community. I look forward to supporting and encouraging Rosary’s young women in our rich traditions, and I seek to explore new ways to make the Rosary Academy experience even stronger. Go Royals!

Since graduating from his most recent degree program in May 2019, Brian landed his first full-time teaching position at Rosary Academy. Brian has been actively involved teaching music privately and in the community since his time at LMU. Brian has stated that he is most excited about being a part of the growth and development of the performing arts program at
Rosary and is truly enjoying working with the students. Brian’s philosophy when it comes to the fine and performing arts is that, “Courses in art and music teach us something about the fundamental nature of human empathy. Beyond that, the skills and principles learned in music are by no means exclusive to music, and can be applied to any area of interest or field of study that a student may wish to pursue.” When he is not teaching, Brian enjoys game nights with friends, scoring music for films, playing guitar, watching movies and television, and participating in animal activism. Catherine Nguyen (not pictured) earned her bachelor’s, teaching credential, and Master’s degrees from California State University, Long Beach, and comes to Rosary’s math department after teaching for the last five years at Marina High School in Huntington Beach. She is thrilled to join the Rosary community because it is an opportunity to combine her love of her faith and her passion for math. Ms. Nguyen believes that the patterns and logic in math provide students with a powerful opportunity to develop behaviors that not only help them in their school work but into their adult lives. When she’s not teaching, Ms. Nguyen loves traveling—last summer, she went to New York, Tokyo, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, and Marseille!—and caring for her two dogs, Onyx and Karye.

Royal WELCOME Over the last decade, incoming freshmen have enjoyed a unique Rosary orientation during WOW (Week of Welcome). WOW cultivated sisterhood through team-building games, dancing together to the cha-cha slide, and learning the correct response to “Rosary, Rosary, how do you feel?!” Laughter echoed through the gym as strangers became Royal sisters. This year, in light of studies showing a significant increase in anxiety and depression among girls ages 10-18, our school leadership – experts in all-girls education – recognized the opportunity to enhance programming and add wellness resources as our newest students transitioned to high school. STUDENT LEADERS In addition to revamping the programming for freshmen, new student leadership positions were created to aid in the orientation. Current student leaders from the associated student body, campus ministers, ambassadors, and peer assistance leaders participated in training to improve peerto-peer connections for all incoming students. After a year of planning, the newly designed Royal Welcome was launched for the Class of 2023 in early August 2019. Over 60 current students cut their summer short to prepare the event for their newest Royal sisters. During a two-day training, leaders participated in bonding activities and discussed what it means to be a leader at Rosary. They engaged in activities that would be used to teach the incoming freshmen skills including performing skits on key topics: how to make a difference; to be a Royal; serve the dear neighbor; and leave your legacy. The leaders were excited and eager to start their Royal Welcome.

WELCOMING OUR NEW ROYALS Early on a Friday morning, the Royal Welcome leaders returned to campus energized to cheer on their new sisters. Their enthusiasm was contagious, which dissipated nerves of our newest students representing over 40 schools. The morning kicked off with the notorious cha-cha slide and team building games followed by small group activities led by current students. After lunch, students rotated workshops to learn about the high school experience, listen to the history of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange (Rosary’s founding administrators), participate in Rosary cheers, make an intent bracelet, and more. The first evening concluded with a new tradition – freshmen parents joined their daughters to pray a decade of the Rosary together, honoring Our Lady of the Rosary, patroness of Rosary Academy. Day two was another early start with a focus on preparing for the high school journey. The morning began with yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises to teach the students how to take a moment to reflect during stressful and challenging times. Students then participated in a variety of workshops including identifying role models, respect and kindness, communication skills, and wellness and stress management. The two-day event ended with an inspiring family Mass and a celebration officially recognizing the Class of 2023 as Royals. While the days were long, this was a memorable and impactful experience. One freshman shared “this weekend was something special,” and another stated “I’m glad I met so many of my sisters.” The new programming for Royal Welcome was well received by new students and their parents. The school leadership and staff are excited to start planning the event for our Class of 2024! Our goal is to build upon the workshops, incorporate guest speakers, and offer more team-building activities. Alumnae interested in getting involved with Royal Welcome, please contact Kristie Rueff O’Campo ’02 at kocampo@rosaryacademy.org. 9
Coaching ON DECK
by Rory Bevins English teacher, sophomore class moderator, water polo head coach
I have been coaching at Rosary for ten years, and I have been teaching English at Rosary for seven years. I often get asked what it is like to coach and work at an all-girls school. What has become clear is that many of the effective coaching strategies needed to motivate a group of young women are the same used to motivate any team. While this is true, I remember speaking to my high school coach, Jim Sprague, who coached for many years at Rosary and Servite, about the differences between coaching girls and boys. His answer was simple, “Girls need to feel good to play well, and boys need to play well to feel good.” I have always taken this to heart and consistently make it my priority to make sure the girls on my team feel cared for, listened to, understood, and encouraged.
Athletes need to know, as much as possible, that their input and ideas are important to the success of the team.
Finally, it is important that players feel understood and encouraged. For this, there is no better place to coach than Rosary Academy. Rosary cares about the whole person; Rosary wants to create young women that are more than just scholars or athletes. Rosary wants to educate the complete person. As coaches, we need to know and understand that the girls we coach are more than just athletes. They are also students, daughters, friends, and many other things. We need to understand that we encourage them to work hard in a sport as a means to teach them that hard work in general is a key to One of the first steps a coach needs to take in motivating success. Whether the goal is to get a good grade in a class or have a stronger working relationship a team is proving to their players that they truly care. with God, athletics is a way to teach young women Athletes need to know that everything a coach does the importance of hard work. Understanding comes from a place of wanting to push them to be better. There is a certain amount of trust involved in this, players as complete people allows a coach to better understand ways to motivate players and and in all honesty, Athletes need to know, as encourage their success in all areas of life. I feel it takes time. The lucky to be a coach at a school that approaches most important step much as possible, that their input and ideas are important to begin this process athletics as one part of the whole person. At Rosary, coaches are encouraged to mentor their players is to be available to the success of the team. and to push for not only their athletic success but to players.

Athletes need Nothing shows that you care more than your actions. to be encouraged to think of every mistake as an Once you have proven to your team that you truly care for them, they will be willing to match your work and give opportunity to improve. Understanding who players more effort; the more a coach cares, the more the team are and encouraging their mistakes is an important part in the process of motivating young women to not cares. just be great athletes but to be great people as well. Another aspect to coaching in an all-girls environment Of course, the key to all of this is that your is to make sure the athletes feel listened to. More and more young people in general are starting to ask: “Why motivations and intentions as a coach need to be authentic. The most important trait to coaching are we doing this?” It is important to have reasons in an all-girls environment is being genuine. You behind every speech, drill, and scrimmage. Explaining to players why they are doing something is an easy way need to believe the things you say and prove with to help them understand that you as a coach are not just your actions on a daily basis that you will care, you doing things for the sake of doing them. Coaches should will listen, you will try to understand, and that your sole purpose is to push the team to be better. I make a point to explain the reason behind every drill, and start and end every practice by reminding the team have seen girls work harder and longer than I ever that everything they will be doing during practice will help thought possible. From 6:00 am weights to late night practices, I have seen great things from Rosary them become better. I am a firm believer in having an athletes, and at the end of all of it, I think they open-door policy as a coach. A coach should be happy to have players come by after practice, at lunch, or after are more motivated to work when they know their coaches care about them not just as athletes but as school. To me, it shows that the players are genuinely interested in what is happening and the team’s success. complete young women. 10

Notes FROM THE ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT We are still very much a part of the Rosary community and so are you! I would like to take a moment to share how much the Alumnae Association cherishes the contributions made by each of our alumnae. The Rosary Alumnae Association Executive Board has some big changes in store for the upcoming school year! The Rosary Alumnae Association Executive Board has planned for the following goals: • Create a business directory for our Royal alumnae, to support the businesses and services of Rosary’s graduates. • Increase donations on ‘Royal to Royal Day of Giving,’ to continue the tuition assistance program for future Royals. • Update the Alumnae Association page on Rosary Academy’s website, so that alumnae have better access to information about upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. I’d like to take a moment to thank Nina Vasquez-Valencia (Class of 1995), our Vice President, and Lisa DavisKasten (Class of 1987), our Reunion Chair. These women embody the Rosary spirit. They have families, jobs, go to school, and volunteer. They come to our alumnae association meetings with creative ways to engage alumnae and make a difference in our community. They also make me laugh a lot! We have a lot in common as Royal sisters, and we share an immense pride in our school and Rosary experience. Last school year, we welcomed over 350 alumnae at a variety of events! We also raised over $13,000 for our 2nd annual Alumnae Day of Giving! Thank you to all of our alumnae who give their time, treasures and talents! It’s because of you we continue the Rosary legacy and empower the next generation of women leaders. We have so much to look forward to this year – Rosary will be celebrating our 55th anniversary and our 50th Red & Gold in March 2020. Whether you are an alumna or a parent of an alumna, please update your contact information. We want to keep you informed on the exciting events and volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Be sure to check Rosary Academy’s website, social media, and look for email sign-ups. We are always grateful for any way you can volunteer or donate a few dollars to a program that inspired you. We are looking forward to welcoming you back on campus and continuing our legacy with the next generation of Royals! Mary Anne Murdoch-Kessler ‘87 President of Alumnae Association P.S. Save-the-date for our Alumnae Day of Giving on March 10, 2020!

Rosary Academy
Thank you FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ADVANCEMENT Dear Rosary community: As I move into my third year serving as the Director of Advancement and Marketing at Rosary Academy, I am overjoyed and blessed to work with our remarkable and inspiring community. It is with your support and prayers we had a successful year in enrollment and fundraising. Our total enrollment is 393, up 9.5% from last year, and our fundraising is up 24% with donations exceeding $395,000 not including fundraising events. Your support in time, treasure, and talent continues to be vital in ensuring Rosary continues to succeed in empowering our next generation of women leaders in their faith and academics. Rosary’s generous donors granted us the opportunity to continue partnering with Boys Hope, Girls Hope, provide need-based tuition assistance, add water filtration systems to the second floor of campus, support our Wellness & Enrichment program by bringing guest speakers to campus, purchase new lunch furniture for the lawn, add blinds to the Learning and Enrichment Center, provide need-based grants for students attending Kairos, and much more! The 2019-2020 school year started at full speed introducing a new lunch service, Bevaris, to our students; joining forces with Servite High School to provide transportation to our students; and preparing for Rosary’s first-ever strategic planning retreat. Students enjoyed Speak to Inspire, a speaker series with successful women in a variety of industries, last year; and we are thrilled to add new career industries this year: finance, law, social work, and entertainment. Last, but not least, we are still in the process of the lunch area and back entrance redesign. Thank you in advance for your support this upcoming school year. We look forward to welcoming you to campus and to our events this year, and, most importantly, joining our momentum by giving back to Rosary! Help us hit our goal of fundraising $1.5 million that directly impacts the lives of our current and future Royals! Every gift counts, and every gift makes a difference. In a time of many philanthropic opportunities, we are blessed you choose to make Rosary Academy a priority. Your generosity is vital in advancing the mission of our school and preparing our Royals for success in college and joy in life. May God bless you and your family. Go Royals!
Kristie Rueff O’Campo ’02, M.Ed. Director of Advancement & Marketing
