news, notes, etc. SHC Responds to Mercy High School Closing With the announcement of Mercy High School’s closing at the end of this school year, the SHC Admissions Team worked to consider each and every applicant in a pool of more than 1,200 hopeful eighth graders and a large a number of transfer requests from our neighbor school on 19th Avenue. Ultimately, SHC’s mission calls us to provide a school home for as many of these students as possible. Vice President for Advancement & Enrollment John Gumina ’91 shared “We are happy to welcome Mercy students to SHC next academic year. As a Lasallian Vincentian Catholic school, it was important for us to support as many of these students and families as possible by providing a quality Catholic option for their remaining high school journey.”
SHC Faculty and Staff Give Life to the Mission Each year, small groups of SHC faculty and staff participate in faith formation programs aimed at perpetuating the charisms of our Founders in our school community. The John Johnston Institute for Contemporary Lasallian Study is a two-year program that focuses on deepening participants’ understanding of Saint John Baptiste de La Salle’s life, vision and dedication to spirituality and justice, and incorporating that vision into modern day Lasallian education. In the current cycle of the institute, SHC participants include Human Resources Director Laura Canaya, Advancement Database Manager Lauren Wild ’99, and Instructor of Science Phi Le. The first SHC cohort of the institute founded the Lasallian Symposium, an annual gathering of Lasallian schools across the Bay Area. In FEVC, or Forming Educators in the Vincentian Charism, another formation program, SHC faculty and staff members help to animate the charisms of St. Vincent de Paul for our school community with regular gatherings that take place over the course of two years. The gatherings focus on reflection and learning about the lives of St. Vincent de Paul, St. Louise de Marillac and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Admissions Manager Andreana Villa ’03 and Associate Director for Community Life Retreats & Spirit Danny O’Regan make up the current SHC FEVC cohort.
Intersection Update A meeting with San Francisco Public Works yielded positive results regarding SHC’s plans to refurbish the Gough and Ellis intersection. Although the massive shamrock in the middle of the intersection will sadly not become a reality (SHC Magazine Summer 2019), the City reacted favorably to many of the safety and wayfaring elements proposed in our recent Master Plan. These include bulbouts on all four corners of the intersection, the use of green materials on both the crosswalks and sidewalks to identify our campus, and rumble strips on Ellis Street to help calm traffic in the neighborhood. The project is tentatively scheduled to begin in Fall of 2021.
MADDAN’S CORNER If you can be anything, be a student of life. Education doesn’t end with a diploma or exiting an institution, it’s barely begun. There are things to uncover every day, discoveries to be made, learnings that are life changing. Not all paths are taken because of curiosity. Some insight is gained from situations we never fathomed, those we wished not to encounter. As COVID-19 alters the world and we are forced to acclimate to a new normal of “social distancing”—to withhold the urge to hug, to keep a safe distance of six feet between us and stay inside—will we ultimately be drawn closer? Will we begin to appreciate the actions, the exchanges, the access, that we long took for granted and understand how much they truly matter? Will we welcome the rich knowledge of others more willingly? As work, school and activities are canceled, as shops close and the streets grow quiet, as we shed the layers of so much excess, may we find something within ourselves that propels us forward, collectively evolved, and may we have the courage, the privilege, to begin to learn again.

SHC’s Wellness Program aims to create healthy lifelong habits in students and the greater community.

SPRING SPRING2020 2020
The term wellness often inspires images of yoga poses, meditation pillows, a stream of cold mist billowing out of an essential oil diffuser. In today’s consumer society, the “Wellness Industry” has become a $4.5 trillion market, accounting for 5.3 percent of total global economic output, according to the Global Wellness Institute. Key sectors include personal care, nutrition, prevenpreventative medicine and public health, fitness, and mind-body health. Clearly, there is something about the promise of wellness that appeals to our sensibilities—but how does that translate in the high school environment—particularly a Lasallian Vincentian, mission-based school? In many ways, the importance of wellness among the student body, and the faculty and staff, has always been a priority at SHC, notably ramping up in recent years with the development of a dedicated Wellness Department. What exactly does wellness look like at SHC?
WELLNESS AS EMPOWERMENT For Assistant Principal for Community Life Christine Buell, wellness is embedded into our mission. “In the Lasallian Vincentian tradition, supporting the whole child is more than acaacademic. We have to consider how we help them develop character and resilience, we have to conconsider how we teach them to manage stress, to be community leaders. For us, wellness will always have an academic component, a social-emotionsocial-emotional component, and a physical component.” SHC educators often talk about educating the whole child—that is, a Lasallian Vincentian education is multidimensional, appealing to the many different and unique aspects that make a person whole. That holistic approach is at the founfoundation of modern-day wellness—a term which describes the many aspects that contribute to a person’s overall sense of being and feeling well. Associate Director of Community Life and Wellness Department Co-Chair Julia Rinaldi describes the program’s use of a tool adapted from the “Wholistic Wellness Wheel” originally created by St. Mary’s College of California professor Colette Fleuridas. “The Wellness Wheel looks at nine different dimensions of wellness and how they are all connected.” Those dimensions include the recognizable: mental and emotional, physical, spiritual, relationship wellness. The remaining dimensions are a little more novel: financial, sexual, cultural and socio-political, and local and global community wellness. More
important than the separate dimensions is the way in which each depends upon the others. Lingo aside, Rinaldi ultimately views wellness as emempowerment. “We SHC Faculty practicing wellness principles want our students to know where to look for inforinformation, to make healthy, informed choices for themselves and their communities, to know and understand their truth—that is all part of self-care, self-compassion and wellness.”
CREATING A FOUNDATION FOR LIFELONG HEALTH Assistant Principal Joan O’Neill remembers a time when the extent of SHC’s health curriculum consisted solely of a physical education requirement. “That model didn’t help students underunderstand how to be healthy with their bodies or with food, it didn’t address drug use, or stress manmanagement, or emotional health. SHC now has a four-year curriculum now—a wellness structure that is all encompassing and supports everything that we do,” she reflects. Today, SHC’s wellness curriculum spans across all class levels. Arranged by relevance at each grade, dedicated classes focus on topics ranging from mindfulness and stress management to peer pressure, body image and consent, even responsible social media use. Expert-led workshops on mental health, addiction, nutrition and physical health, and physical education requirements round out the curriculum. Conversations around wellness begin early for SHC stustudents, before incoming ninth graders take their first official high school class. The wellness curriculum is integrated throughout Jumpstart, SHC’s two-day, summer orientation for incoming students. Instruction from SHC’s Wellness Department covers the big changes that happen to the teen brain throughout adolescence, paired with an introduction to mindfulness and meditation and discussions about stress, healthy relationships and consent. When the regular academic year begins, ninth graders take a yearlong physical education course to help build a fitness foundafoundation on which they will build in the years to come. Some of CHRISTINE BUELL the physical education instruction takes place in SHC’s FitASSISTANT PRINCIPAL FOR ness Center, an expansive, state-of-the-art fitness facility COMMUNITY LIFE built in 2006. Fitness Center Director Nathan Villanueva ’06 shares, “Teaching students how to exercise properly and safely is part of creating a lifestyle skill, and it’s best for our students to learn it now.”
“For us, wellness will always have an academic component, a social-emotional component, and a physical component.”
At the sophomore level, the wellness curriculum is supported by the science department, and with topics like addiction and vaping on the syllabus, counselor and chemistry instructor Tom Farrell takes a pragmatic approach. “The sophomores serve at St. Anthony’s as part of their service-learning experience, and they have someone from their recovery group speak to the students, so my talk helps to add context. I cover the ‘definition’ of addiction and risk factors— both are about experiences in a person’s life.” Education around vaping, a particularly hot topic in secondary education, is incredibly relevant today, both in terms of prevention, and in some cases, cessation. According to a December 2019 study by the National Institute on Drug Abuse,

one in four 12th graders reported vaping nicotine in the past month. “Many teens say they vape for the flavor, to experiment, for social reasons, or to feel good. However, from 2018-19, the number of 12th graders saying they vape because they are ‘hooked’ more than doubled to 8.1% from 3.6%,” the report expounds. For Rinaldi, professional learning these areas is key, “We are committed to staying up-to-date on education around vaping—this past year, we participated in the vaping prevention training hosted by Stanford University, and we bring that knowledge into our conversations with students.” Also beginning at the sophomore level and continuing through the 12th grade, students fulfill a self-directed fitness requirement. For some, participation in seasonal athletics ticks the box, and for others, intramural sports or taking advantage of Fitness Center classes and open hours helps to build upon that fitness foundation created in the ninth grade. The Fitness Center boasts 24 cardio machines, machine weights, a variety of free weights, and a multipurpose studio, often used for cardio and yoga classes. Along with regularly scheduled fitness field trips to Soul Cycle and Planet Granite, opportunities to fulfill the fitness requirements abound.
Getting fit
services to help students maintain balance and perspective during a notoriously stressful time. Students can take advantage of tea service, aromatherapy stations, yoga and meditation classes, therapy dogs, and extended Fitness Center hours. By senior year, students have had ample experience in areas of mindfulness, meditation and stress management, creating healthy relationships, maintaining a regular fitness practice. Over the course of the previous three years, they have built up emotional resilience, they have a solid grip on the idea of consent. At this level, and as seniors prepare for life after high school, the wellness curriculum boosts its focus on mental health. Part of these efforts include an annual alumni panel discussion specifically planned for seniors which includes young alumni who return to SHC to share their stories with the graduating class. At this year’s event, panelists spoke honestly about their experiences transitioning from high school to college, and for some, the early years of their lives in the “real world.”
A two-day, off-campus retreat is the crux of the junior level wellness curriculum. The retreat, aptly named Journey, focuses on decisions—reflecting on decisions made and examining decisions they will soon face. As students prepare for college application season, and their academic, cocurricular, and social demands build, the retreat could not A partnership with the National Alliance on Mental Illness brings indibe better timed. viduals who have experienced mental illness to share their stories with our students. “One of our students, inspired by the NAMI presentation Each semester during study week this year, became a mental health advocate on campus, sharing her own and final exams, the Wellness story and helping to bring awareness to her peers about mental illness, Department provides an array of

which is ultimately an effort toward NAMI’s main goal—to break the stigma around mental illness.” Across the board, in several discussions about wellness with SHC faculty, the term resilience surfaced as a thread. On a very basic level, resilience is one’s ability to bounce back, as Christine explains, “Part of our obligation as educators is to help our students fail well—the ability to take risks, learn from mistakes and try again. Too often students get discouraged by a perceived failure and lack the resilience to get back up and try again. We want our students to put failures to good use by improving, and have the confidence to try again—in the classroom, on the stage, on the field and in life.”

rother Arnold was assigned to Sacred Heart High School in 1960—only his second assignment as a Christian Brother. He Leading the choir in 1978 had just spent seven years at Christian Brothers’ High School in Sacramento when he was called to serve in San Francisco where he would ultimately change the lives of countless young men.
Brother Arnold’s first two years at Sacred Heart were spent in the classroom teaching religion, mathematics and business education. “Life was simple in those days,” he recalls as he describes the old administrative structure where the principal effectively acted also as president, and the vice principal took on the role of dean of studies and discipline. It was a reassignment that sent then vice principal Brother Raymond elsewhere and Brother Arnold into the vice principal chair.
Alumnus and longtime SHC coach and staff member Tim Burke ’70 remembers the gym as a multipurpose gathering space, “Assemblies, rallies, masses, baccalaureate masses, even all-school detentions—when we weren’t doing what we were supposed to be doing—were held in the old gym.” Instructor of Mathematics Pete Gresh ’72 echoes Tim’s memories, “It was our meeting place. At home, you go to the dinner table. At Sacred Heart, you went to the gym.” The naming ceremony was attended by fellow Christian Brothers, SHC faculty and staff, current students, and dozens of Sacred Heart alumni who have held Brother Arnold in the highest regard all of these years.
Alumni who were taught by Brother Arnold during their time at SH remember the firmness with which he approached discipline, and it is a quality they whole-heartedly admire. Former SHC Board of Regents member Mike Kelly ’69 says, “The gym was his kingdom. He was someone who could put 800 adolescent boys in the gym and have them quiet. He didn’t have to yell, he just had to look at them.” For Brother Arnold, the greatest joy of his time at Sacred Heart was the students. “I think they were the greatest people I could have worked with. In fact, some of those whom I had to discipline the hardest became my very best friends, people with whom still keep in contact with me today.”
For three years, Brother Arnold served as vice principal and dean of students, alongside another beloved Sacred Heart figure, Louis Meyer ’55, who served as dean of studies. At the end of those three years, the principal was transferred to another school, and Brother Arnold stepped in once again. “After Brother Ignatius transferred, I became principal, a position I held for 13 years.” A sabbatical at the end of that tenure sent Brother Arnold across the Atlantic to Europe where he visited the Province’s feeder schools. Ultimately, he returned to Sacred Heart to take on the role of vice principal and dean of students once again.
In 2018, Brother Arnold was honored in a beautiful naming ceremony for what is now known as the Brother Arnold Steward, FSC, Gymnasium.

SHC’s Summer Institute Reaches Out to the City’s Youngest Campers
L
ast summer, SHC added the Junior Irish Academy to our Summer Institute offerings, inviting third and fourth graders to our school community for a summer of learning, exploration and fun. SHC’s Summer Institute offers a series of one-week enrichment courses and sports academies to Bay Area students in grades 5-9. Summer Institute participants have the world at their fingertips with camps ranging in topic from coding to creative writing, rocket design to industrial art, marine biology to musical theater. After nearly a decade of success with the program, institute creators saw an opportunity to expand the school’s summer programming to include younger students. Junior Irish Academy Instructor Erin Baldanzi ’93 says, “It seemed like a natural progression to offer summer programs to different ages, including younger siblings of current students and campers.” When creating a summer camp curriculum for third and fourth graders, Erin and Vice President for Advancement & Enrollment John Gumina ’91 knew they had to make it engaging and above all, fun. The result is a multi-week, multi-theme program that allows families to select camps from week to week based on student interest. This summer, the weekly themes include

I lead many of the projects when we’re here on campus, but campers often take the lead also, and I run with it.” Empowering students to let their interests drive their summer experience at SHC is at the heart of the program—in fact, it’s written into the program’s mission—The Junior Irish Academy offers thriving rising third and fourth graders the chance to engage in a world where curiosity and interest meet creativity and exploration.Director of Enrollment Management Jonathan Lim says “Junior Irish Academy is a great way for families with younger children to get to know SHC. The strong sense of community at SHC is what we hope our younger campers begin to experience and enjoy.”

Indicative of the strength of the WCAL, the Irish were placed into the CCS DIII playoff bracket and battled into the final only to finish second. Nevertheless, this finish ensured that their season would continue into the NorCal DII playoffs as the No. 5 seed, where they played Lowell and defeated our intra-city rival 60-57 in a thriller. Next up for the Irish was St. Mary’s of Berkeley, where the Irish season ended in a 68-64 defeat.
After last year’s surprising run to the CCS Open Division title, Coach Sean MacKay and his retooled squad finished in sixth place in the rugged WCAL with a 4-10 record, 11-16 overall. One of these regular season wins loomed larger than most, however, an 84-77 victory over St. Ignatius in January at the historic Cow Palace. Fueled by guard Ray-John Spears ’22 and his 35 points, the Irish built a huge lead and held on to even the Bruce-Mahoney series at one a piece and set up the baseball game as the deciding contest.

girls BASKETBALL Coach LyRyan Russell ’97 led his relatively young team to a tie for second place in the WCAL, 5-5 league (9-14 overall). This result and their strength of schedule qualified them for not only a bid in the CCS Open Division playoffs, but also an automatic invite to the Nor Cal DII playoffs where the Irish triumphed handily over Alameda 75-62. The squad then traveled to Loomis to battle Del Oro, where the Irish dropped a 58-51 decision. Other highlights for the Irish during the season were victories against St. Ignatius 53-43 and a triumph over Sacred Heart Prep in the CCS Open consolation game. Throughout the season, leadership and steady play were provided by forward Da’Myiah Lewis ’20 & Nya Epps ’22 (both First Team All WCAL) and Dylan Benitez ’21 (Honorable Mention All WCAL). With the steady hand of Hall of Famer Russell at the helm of the girls’ program, expect improvement, passion, and spirited play in the years to come.
Under the guidance of second year coach Mike McNeill, the Irish reached new heights, finishing with a 10-2-2 WCAL record (13-4-3 overall) and capturing the school’s first league title in boys soccer. While the season ended in a disappointing 5-4 loss on penalty kicks in the CCS Open Division quarterfinals, the Irish can still hold their collective heads high after a season highlighted by victories at St. Ignatius, a historic comeback against Mitty after trailing 0-3 at half to finish in a 4-4 tie, and a 4-0 beatdown of perennial power Bellarmine to win the title. The Irish headlined all-league honors, with both Dylan Rogers ’20 (also named Midfielder of the Year) and Ellis Brenneman ’20 named First Team All WCAL, Alex Bonville ’20, Kian Jones ’21, and Devin Pittler-McNamara ’21 (Second Team All WCAL) and Jonah Bhisitkul ’20 named Honorable Mention. With both the JV and Frosh teams sporting similarly spectacular results during their seasons as well, Coach McNeill seems to have all the makings of a budding soccer powerhouse percolating on the corner of Gough & Ellis.

While they couldn’t add on to their back-to-back CCS championships of years prior, the Fightin’ Irish girls made the SHC community proud, fighting all the way until a 3-1 loss in the DIII semifinals. Befitting another stellar year, the team was well represented with post-season accolades. Simone Barragan-Shaw ’20 (WCAL Midfielder of the Year) and fellow midfielder Sophie Simpson ’20 were both named First Team All WCAL. Named to the All WCAL Second Team were Megan McHugh ’20, and Evalani Dudum ’21, with Hannah O’Connell ’20 taking Honorable Mention.

As a college athlete, he was named to Baseball America’s Top-50 Seniors List.
Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory is honored to announce the 2018 inductees to our Athletic Hall of Fame. The class features five men, three women and one team who competed or coached in seven different sports, as far back as 1959. They were selected based on exceptional achievements on the field, track or court during their time at St. Vincent High School, Sacred Heart High School, Cathedral High School or Sacred Heart Cathedral, and later in their careers as athletes and coaches. The induction ceremony was held on February 22, 2020, and these proud alumni took their well-deserved place among the other 248 individuals and seven teams currently enshrined in the SHC Athletic Hall of Fame.
He went on to play in the minors for the Chicago White Sox, earning Minor League Player of the Year in their organization. He also earned AAA Player of the Year during his tenure in the Atlanta Braves minor league system. Stefan was also inducted into the USF Hall of Fame in 2018. Today, Stefan serves as the executive director and founder of Ripple Effect 22, a faith-based youth mentorship program nurturing God-given gifts and encouraging youth to become all they are meant to be.
JAZMINE JACKSON ’08 As a four-year varsity basketball player, Jazmine led her team to three consecutive state championships. Throughout her stellar high school career, she was named All-State First Team, Northern California Division III Player of the Year and MaxPreps All American Honorable Mention. Jazmine also held the distinction of being named WCAL Most Valuable Player, EA Sports All American, and was twice named San Francisco Chronicle Metro Player of the Year. After SHC, Jazmine went on to play basketball at Pepperdine University where she earned All-WCC Honorable Mention and was honored as the WCC Defensive Player of the Year in 2010. Upon graduating from Pepperdine, she held the distinction of the team’s second-highest scorer. She came back to SHC to join the girls basketball program staff from 2012–17 and helped lead the program to multiple league titles and a state championship in 2016. Her
players remember her as a tremendous leader and mentor. Most recently, she served as Assistant Coach for the San Francisco State University women’s basketball program in 2013.
DOMINIQUE NEAL ’93 Dominique played football at SHC and was a varsity track & field standout, winning the WCAL Championship in both the 400m and 200m and eventually placing fourth in the CIF Regional Championships. In 1993, he broke the school record for the 400m, and he was one leg of the school record setting 4x400 relay the same year. After SHC, Dominique went on to attend the United States Naval Academy where he ran track for four years. Today, Dominique serves as a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Marine Corps, with a military career spanning two decades and several combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has received many awards, including the Purple Heart and the Presidential Unit Citation.
TIERRA ROGERS ’09 While at SHC, Tierra was widely considered one of the nation’s most talented high school basketball players. She led the SHC girls basketball team to one national and three state
championships. Her final year, Tierra was named a McDonald’s All American and Parade Magazine Second Team. She was the named the nation’s No. 20 Prospect by ESPN HoopGurlz, First Team All-City by the Examiner and was twice named First Team All-WCAL, in addition to being named MVP of the Nike Northwest Invitational. Tierra received a scholarship to play at the University of California at Berkeley, where she discovered she had a rare heart condition that cut short her career on the court. She stayed on the team and found ways to contribute to the program off the court. She was awarded the prestigious Maggie Dixon Courage Award and Jill Costello Most Inspirational Student Athlete and Most Academically Improved Student Athlete awards during her time at Cal. She graduated with a degree in African American Studies and went on to write Life In Overtime, a memoir that documents her father’s tragic death, her struggle with depression after the discovery of her condition and her path to acceptance, supported by the faith that kept her going. Over the years, Tierra has served on the coaching staff at SHC, and as a special education academic assistant at James Denman Middle School in the Excelsior.
JOHN TOOMEY ’69 John was a three-year varsity starter under Hall of Fame football coach Bill Henneberry. His accomplishments on the gridiron include defeating SI in the very last AAA game held at Kezar Stadium and a victory over Balboa that broke the school’s undefeated streak that season. John remembers Coach Henneberry referring to the games as among his “greatest wins.” He was named All-City by both the San Francisco Chronicle and the Examiner. John was also a standout baseball player during his time at Sacred Heart, hitting for a .343 average. As a freshman, he was selected to the San Francisco Babe Ruth All Star Team, representing San Francisco in the Western Regionals at Stanford’s Sunken Diamond. As a senior he helped his team win both the South San Francisco Easter Tournament (MVP), and the Round Robin AAA Championship. That same year, he was honored with the Leadership Award from Coach Bill Koeppen.
BRENDAN UNIACKE ’99 At SHC, Brendan was a star runner on the cross country team, but it was his undeniable athleticism on the pitch that made him shine. As a three-time team captain for the SHC boys soccer team, Brendan was recognized in the notoriously competitive WCAL being named Second Team in 1998 and First Team in 1999. He was honored with captain awards both years and as a senior, he was named team MVP and WCAL Defensive Player of the Year. Brendan went on to attend Regis University as a four-year starter for their men’s soccer team.
COACH MARGI BEIMA For nearly two decades total (17 as head varsity coach), Margi has led the SHC girls volleyball program, amassing more than 500 wins, three WCAL titles, eight CCS crowns, five NorCal titles and a 2014 CIF state title. In 2011, Margi was named CIF State Model Coach of the Year and Western Regional Coach of the Year by the National Federation of State High School Associations. Finally, in 2018, she was named CalHi Sports State Girls Volleyball Coach of the Year. In addition, Margi founded the Serve it Up tournament nearly one decade ago, a gathering of teams from Lasallian schools for a day of community service and then a tournament the day following. Margi’s accomplishments as a coach are a reflection of her leadership, perseverance and compassionate mentorship. She is a cancer survivor and coached the entire 2005 season while simultaneously undergoing cancer treatment. Her determination, dedication and passion for the sport and her team continues to inspire her players today and has positively impacted generations of young women in her care.
1969 BASKETBALL TEAM Led by celebrated coach and SHC Hall of Famer Jerry Phillips, the 1969 Sacred Heart Basketball Team boasted the talents of Larry Pasero ’69, Dave Pasero ’70, Mike Murphy ’69, Pete Timoney ’69, Mauro Luvisotti ’69, and Hall of Famer Tim Burke ’70. Prior to joining the infamously competitive WCAL in 1970, the Irish participated one last season in the all-San Francisco Academic Athletic Association (AAA). In an epic season they finished out their regular league 7-1 and beat defending Tournament of Champions winners Wilson 61-52, crowning them the AAA Champions.

SF PREP HALL OF FAME HONORS MORE SHC FAMILY WITH INDUCTION In addition to this year’s inductees into SHC’s Athletic Hall of Fame, we honor the following members of our sports community who were voted this year into the San Francisco Prep Hall of Fame: Marty Cole attended Polytechnic High School, Class of 1967. He was First Team All AAA in lightweight basketball his first two years and First Team All AAA in varsity baseball the following two years. Marty captained both the varsity basketball and baseball Marty Cole teams in 1966 and 1967. He was considered one of the smoothest infielders in AAA history. After graduation, Marty attended the University of San Francisco on a baseball scholarship and spent his time there while also serving two stints in the United States Air Force. After his baseball career ended, he spent the next 40 years coaching. He currently serves as the assistant varsity baseball coach at Sacred Heart Cathedral, a position he has held for the last 19 years. Marty has been married to his wife, Nan, for 50 years and they have three children and five grandchildren. Matt Gallegos graduated from Sacred Heart High School in 1978. He played both varsity baseball and varsity basketball for the Fightin’ Irish. In 1977, Gallegos was named First Team All WCAL in basketball and was invited to participate in the Top 40 All Star game that season. Gallegos also MattGallegos ’78 excelled on the baseball field for the Irish as an All WCAL baseball player for three seasons. He was a co-captain of the famed 1978 team that won the WCAL Championship, a squad that is now enshrined in the Sacred Heart Cathedral Hall of Fame. The Central Coast Section
named Gallegos the 1978 section baseball player of the year and he was also named to the All Northern California team the same year. After graduating from Sacred Heart High School, Gallegos continued his baseball career at the University of California and then San Francisco State University. While at SFSU, Gallegos was chosen All Conference and All Region in 1981. He also led the nation in stolen bases that year, swiping 51 of 52 attempted stolen bases. Gallegos was drafted in the 10th round by the New York Yankees and spent five years in their organization. Gallegos returned to his alma mater to serve as a teacher and baseball coach, and in 1998 coached the Irish to their first ever CCS Championship. Matt has been a teacher, scout and coach for the past 25 years in the Bay Area and he and his wife Denise live in San Mateo and they have three children. Mike Murphy graduated from Sacred Heart High School in 1969 and played four years of varsity basketball under legendary coach Jerry Phillips for the Fightin’ Irish. In both his junior and senior seasons, he was named the team MVP. In his junior and senior years, Mike also was awarded first team All City honors, leading the squad that won the last AAA championship in school history as well as taking the Mike Murphy ’69 Irish to the prestigious Tournament of Champions, the precursor to the current NorCal playoffs. Among Mike’s postseason honors was being named Player of the Week and his selection to the All Tournament of Champions team. Mike received a basketball scholarship to the University of San Francisco where he later earned his BA in business. At USF, he won All Northern California Freshman honors and then played three years of varsity basketball for the Dons. After USF, Mike worked in corporate sales and volunteered as a CYO basketball coach. Mike and his wife, Meg, have been married for 43 years and they have two sons and five grandchildren.

LEGEN
Jo Ann Momono to retire, leaving an enduring legacy of athletic excellence
By Mark Pardini ’88
A
fter three decades at the helm of the Sacred Heart Cathedral Athletic Department, Jo Ann Momono has announced she will retire at the end of the 2019-20 academic year. Arriving at SHC from the now-shuttered St. Rose Academy in 1990 (via one year in the East Bay), Jo Ann had no idea her tenure with the Irish would last so long. “It just makes sense,” Jo Ann shared when asked why she’s retiring now. “The year 2020, 30 years, nice round numbers, it’s karma.” Regardless, her expertise and competitive spirit have helped establish SHC Athletics as one of the premier sports powerhouses in the Bay Area. After earning her Bachelor of Science in Physical Education from the University of California at Berkeley, Jo Ann began her career as an athletic director, coach, and physical education instructor for the Rascals of St. Rose, establishing a volleyball dynasty at the school and coaching SHC’s current coach Margi Beima, along the way. “Jo Ann not only taught us how to play volleyball at a very high level, she taught us how to love the game,” Margi recounted. “Many of her players went on to play volleyball in college at San Francisco State, USF, St. Mary’s and Santa Clara to name a few. As Athletic Director at SHC, Jo Ann continued to be my ‘coach’ and mentor throughout my 20 plus years at Sacred Heart Cathedral." After moving to SHC as athletic director, she also served as head volleyball coach from 1990 until 1992, winning two league titles along the way. Jo Ann was named CCA Athletic Director of the Year in 1993-94, and she has the distinction of being both the first female athletic director in the Western Catholic Athletic League (WCAL), and the longest tenured of all WCAL athletic directors. Throughout her career, Jo Ann championed and ensured equal commitment
to female athletics, helping the WCAL to expand to become a league for both girls and boys sports. Annually, she and Co-Athletic Director Phil Freed ’80 oversee more than 700 student-athletes participating on 56 teams with a coaching staff of 104. Throughout her career at SHC, Jo Ann has enjoyed watching and celebrating her teams and their accomplishments: seven CIF State team titles (and two CIF State individual titles), 18 NorCal titles, 43 CCS titles and 24 league titles (WCAL, GPSL, CGAL). Among other firsts during Jo Ann’s tenure—SHC’s first state titles, first unofficial national title, and first CCS titles in football, and boys and girls soccer. “I guess, being inducted into the SHC Hall of Fame was a very nice sort of a recognition for a career,” she shared about the highlights of her tenure. “I think there were individual moments that I really loved, successes that our teams have had on the floor or fields, obviously, our girls basketball program (5 state titles), but I don’t think there’s one highlight moment, it’s just a continuum in my mind.” Jo Ann has also served to expand SHC athletic programs, helping establish and oversee SHC’s Athletic Training and Weight & Conditioning programs, and new sports such as boys and girls lacrosse. She has been key to the expansion and improvement of SHC’s athletic facilities, including the practice field, Student Life Center, batting cages, and the use of the USF baseball field for home games. Principal Gary Cannon shared, “I am humbled by Jo Ann’s leadership experience and service, especially earlier in her career, when being a female athletic director was not the easiest or most well-trod path. Ultimately, her perspective as a female leader served our school, the league, section, and state athletics in ways that improved them all.”

DEDICATION
The Sister Frances Meyer, DC, Irish Prep Shop
By Lucie Duffort On Saturday, January 11, the Irish Prep Shop was dedicated to one of SHC’s most dear and devoted presences, Sister Frances Meyer, DC. After having served the school and showed such devotion to our teams, she may feel a touch embarrassed to “have her name splashed on something,” but seems nothing short of natural to the rest of the Sacred Heart Cathedral community. Sister Frances’ 32-year presence in the bleachers and behind the scoreboards at SHC is legendary. “I’ve always been a fan of sports,” she says, “because I grew up in a small town—and in small towns, if you don’t have sports, you don’t have much to do on weekends, you know.” The youngest of eleven growing up in Perryville, Missouri, Sister Frances says she learned a lot from her mother. “I remember people always coming to my mom for help even though she had her own big family to take care of.” Perhaps as a result of this, Sister strives to give behind-the-scenes help. She has spent a good part of her service teaching, and tells us it was heart-wrenching to give it up (due to hearing loss), though she likes filling other roles as well. She played volleyball in her youth, but softball was really her game. Catcher, mostly, but she loved second base. “The only equipment we had was a glove, and if we were lucky we had a mask. No padding, nothing.” Sister Frances got to know SHC when she was principal at St. Vincent de Paul. It was a little daunting to shift to working with high schoolers, but, as one of her fellow Daughters said, “They’re just little kids in big bodies.” Now, her favorite games to watch are basketball, volleyball and football. “I love being up in the press box in football. I can make comments without being reprimanded … I don’t hide anything, you know—no poker face.” She doesn’t remember her first game at SHC (“No, gracious no.”), but one of her fondest memories was as a spectator at SHC’s first girls basketball state championship in 1998 at Arco Arena. “I still have the newspaper from that one ... That was phenomenal because I had never experienced anything in that big of a venue.” Sister Frances tells us that, “When I first came, I was struck by how out-of-their-way the faculty went to support our kids. That has always impressed me.” She reminds us that it is important to remember to lift everyone up, successful or not. “Everybody likes a winner. Winners are great, but people need support when things aren’t going as well as you want them to be.” We look forward to many more years with Sister Frances in the stands.

A Peek Inside
the SHarC Tank By Lucie Duffort
The Student Launch Initiative held its second annual SHarC Tank in the end of February, and six teams pitched directly to 40 audience members, as well as four Silicon Valley investor SHarCs Courtney Chin ’03, Stef Gartrell ’02, Katie Hughes and Chris Brouwer, who provided strategic business advice and nearly $3,000 in seed funding to the young entrepreneurs. “This year’s SHarC Tank was another huge success. It was certainly rewarding to watch the students follow through on seven months of work. We are all proud of their effort and have already started working on ways to make this event bigger and better next year," says Instructor of English Mike Knapp. This year’s pitches included Alex Wong ’23 and his Zero Waste card game, Noah Heller ’20 with SuperHelmet, a foldable bicycle helmet that can fit into bags and backpacks. A team of sophomore students developed an app called CitySitters to connect parents in need of babysitters, and a second round of funding was won by the Ahead of the Game team, providing sports clinics and equipment to young, lower-income athletes. Freshman team Student to Student won funding for their tutoring business connecting high school students with middle schoolers, and the Carbon Footprint team also received
funding for their programs designed to promote proper waste disposal and reduce factors contributing to climate change. SHarC Tank is an opportunity for students to fund real projects, and last year included a junior participant as well. The evening wrapped up with a final update from fourth grader James Emerson-Bowles (son of religious studies instructor Eileen Emerson-Boles, right), who had this to say about his initial pitch: “Thank you for the $121.99 that I am going to use to buy baseball cards and a holder and stand. My business has gone well in the past year, I have approximately gotten $300. I also had my first online sale after Christmas.” Keep inspiring and innovating, SHC!

SHCal media MAKEOVER
i c so
In its continuous efforts to strive for excellence in all levels of school communications, the SHC Office of Communications & Marketing (OCM) is re-aligning the school’s social media channels. This restructuring may not be readily evident on the surface, but its potential for advancing the success of the school and its social presence is immense. These changes are scheduled to take place this summer. If you are a current follower of our Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram feeds, more than likely you won’t have to do anything to continue following the official school channels you already are tracking. Some of you, however, may be sent notifications to follow new SHC pages with new names. As always, if you have any questions regarding what and who you should be following to get up-to-date posts about goings-on at school, please feel free to reach and contact us at ocm@shcp.edu. Some of the more notable changes you may see are: •
A dedicated “SHC Irish Athletics” Facebook page which will directly broadcast all of Seamus’ great Irish sports posts.
•
A new “SHC Parents” Facebook page, one which will include not only current parents but all past parents of alums. This will allow those with children who have moved on from SHC to stay connected with day-to-day happenings at the school.
•
A newly-invigorated SHC Twitter page (@ SHCinSF), that will mirror all of the posts from our main FB page, giving us a consistent voice across multiple platforms.
•
A more enhanced presence on both our Alumni and main school Instagram accounts.
Stay tuned for further news about this and other exciting communications changes to come at Sacred Heart Cathedral! Go Irish!

Adrian Kelly Longtime SHC community member Adrian Kelly passed away surrounded by his loving family on February 6, 2020 at the age of 68. He was a fiercely loyal, loving and feisty Irishman who grew up in hard times in rural Ireland and never let himself, or anyone else, forget it. He was able to find joy and lessons in those memories all his life. The 11th of 13 children born and raised in Tullow, County Carlow, Ireland, Adrian made his way to Canada, then to New York where he tended bar at the popular McGrath’s watering hole in Queens. He traveled to Alaska to work on the pipeline before settling in San Francisco. It was in the City where he met and married his wife, Maureen, eventually becoming co-owners of Knights’ Catering. Adrian was quite at home in his adopted city where he put down roots as an avid golfer, accomplished butcher and bartender. He drew strength from his friendships built at St. Brendan’s and Sacred Heart Cathedral. Since the moment their first child stepped foot on SHC’s campus, Adrian and Maureen became avid supporters of the school. Knights’ has been the caterer of choice for countless spring galas, faculty and student events. SHC’s partnership, and more importantly, friendship with the Kellys is one that has made our school community better. Adrian is survived by Maureen, his loving wife of 30 years, and adoring children: Molly ’09 (Hayden), Danny ’13 and Grace ’15.

John Michael Dunne John “Mike” Dunne, a proud SHC alumni parent, passed away peacefully at home on January 20, 2020 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Mike was a proud San Francisco native, born to Bert and Marian Dunne on August 14, 1945. He attended St. Bridget’s Elementary School, and Saint Ignatius and Galileo High Schools. Mike went on to attend City College of San Francisco and the University of San Francisco. At City College, he began his 13-year tenure as a coach and athletic director at St. Vincent de Paul Grammar School. In 1972, he co-founded Doherty and Dunne Sporting Goods in the Marina. When Doherty and Dunne closed its doors, he went to work at T&B Sports in San Rafael, where he continued to work full-time—almost until the day he died. Mike’s love of competitive sports was constant and nurtured under the kind and gentle tutelage of Earl Massone, director at Funston Park. Mike played football, basketball and baseball in high school. In college, he played baseball for lifelong friend and mentor Dante Beneditti, and football. In the early 1970s, Mike founded the San Francisco Touch Football Association, which he managed for 25 years. He also played softball in various leagues throughout most of his adult life. The league most dear to his heart was the North Beach Fast Pitch League. Mike was a loving husband and father. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Stephanie, his three children, Amy (Norman), Chris ’97 (Amanda) and Patrick ’98 (Mona), six grandchildren, sisters Sally Amoroso and Mariclare Ballard, many nieces and nephews and countless friends. Mike will forever be remembered for his generous spirit, his ferocious loyalty, his unparalleled ability “to tell it like it is,” and his love of competition. Above all else, however, Mike’s love for his family and constant devotion to his wife truly defined him. To honor his legacy, the Mike Dunne Endowed Scholarship Fund has been created at SHC which will help ensure that students showing academic and cocurricular promise will be given the opportunity to attend SHC.
