FROM DESKPRINCIPAL’STHE
s a history teacher I love evidence. Evidence helps us to frame out events and is necessary for true understanding. When corroborated, evidence provides us with the proof of truth. This magazine serves as evidence and proof of the continued excellence and success of St. Edmund. The events of this year are evidence of a school that is thriving and forward looking; evidence of progress made in academics, faith life, athletics, and our culture. They are proof positive of a school that not only understands the need for innovation but also one that has the means to be able to put innovation into practice. The construction of the Innovation Center is indicative of the changes that will be happening at St. Edmund Prep, changes that are designed to inspire our students to take risks. These changes will not only encourage our students to take risks but also embrace that with risk sometimes comes a stumble, a struggle or even a failure. Our students know that when the struggle or the stumble comes, they are surrounded by those who will teach them how to re-envision so as to learn from the missteps and find the success they desire. The Innovation Center combined with strategic pedagogic maneuvers and improvements have the potential to truly change the trajectory of the lives of our Thisstudents.cycle of risk, reward and growing one’s confidence is something that extends well beyond that of our classrooms. As you will see from the accounts of the past year, our community has experienced growth in the deeper development of our faith as a school comminuty. Our athletics program continues to flourish in much the same way as our academics and our faith. Risk and confidence on the courts and fields have led our athletes into situations where there are not only incredible wins but also heartbreaking losses. It is in these moments that our Eagles show their strength and courage and represent our school in the manner in which it deserves, with intense pride and Changeintegrity.hascome to St. Edmund Prep. Not sweeping changes in our mission or our tradition, but change in the form of growth. This is a critical time for our school and our students. The world around us has changed so dramatically and so quickly that we must do our due diligence as a community to ensure that St. Edmund continues to live on and live Sostrong.asyou read through the magazine, see these stories not just as a recounting of the events of the year, but as evidence; evidence of a school that is providing its students with an education that lives in the Catholic tradition while at the same time embracing the modernity that is the future. Thank you for your continued support of St. Edmund!

Students brought awareness to causes that they were passionate about by educating our student body, faculty, and staff on the mission of their chosen charity, organizing events, dress-down days, bake sales and fundraising for their cause.

The freshman class retreat is centered around the theme “Blessed” - inspired by part of the Dominican Order’s motto: Benedicere (latin, meaning to bless). Activities and discussions are centered around the ideas of building community, “What does it mean to be blessed?”, “How am I blessed?”, and “How am I blessed to be part of the St. Edmund Prep community?”

The moment you chose to be here was the moment you decided to take full responsibility for your future, your education, behavior, and who you are. I congratulate you all embarking on this journey to find your true identity, to embrace your passions and most importantly to evolve. Success these four years has not been linear; the truth is that it never will be. You all showed up everyday no matter the circumstance and it is because of that, you are all sitting here getting ready to close a chapter that simply introduced us to the real world.
ask you all to look back at these four years… a lot has changed. We are no longer the children that walked into SEP thinking that high school was just like the movies had painted it out to be… because this is real life…
READYFLY TO verything that we have built together here is making it so much harder to let go. This is why I didn’t want the last day of classes to end - because it was my last full day with all of you, my second family. As I stand before you today, I want to share one of the most important lessons that I’ve come to value during my time at the Prep - that faith and family are forever. We may be on different paths and leading very different lives years from now, but the memories that we’ve made, the friendships we’ve created, these are the things that we must hold on to in the future. They remind us of who we once were, they shape who we are, and who we will become.

he final chapter to a remarkable teaching career came to a close this past January for Mrs. Kathy Vulpis as she retired from St. Edmund Prep, having served on our faculty since 1981. Throughout her 40 year career, Mrs. Vulpis has been an integral part of our school community as a physical education teacher, coach, athletic director, extracurricular moderator, and mentor. For her contributions to athletics as a coach and administrator, Kathy was inducted into both the CHSAA Hall of Fame and St. Edmund Prep Athletic Hall of Fame.

Beloved phys ed teacher and athletic administrator hangs up her whistle.
Mrs. Vulpis is pictured below with the students from her final PE12 class and with the students and staff who clapped her out of the doors of 2474 Ocean Avenue for the final time on January 28th. We will miss Mrs. Vulpis’ presence in the hallways, her stories and her geniune care and concern for all of us. We wish her many happy years in retirement with her husband Dom, her children Dominick, MaryKate, and Kerrianne and sons-in-law Tommy and Michael. Thank you and God bless you Mrs. Vulpis! For 40 years, we all had the greatest teacher and coach in our corner. Kathy treated her colleagues the same way she treated her students.

he striking new Michael and Lois Koplin Innovation Center will soon inhabit the third floor Art Gallery space to become the center of St. Edmund Prep’s growing STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) initiatives. We have partnered with 1100 ARCHITECT in New York, NY to transform the gallery into one large, open, and airy space for creating. With glass walls, whiteboards, and movable furniture, the Innovation Center will allow students see learning in action. The collaborative setting will encourage students to come in, play, design, ask questions, or just sit and watch. The Innovation Center will host our robotics team as well as classes in engineering, math, art, and design. All classes, across disciplines, will be encouraged to engage the Innovation Center as a place to facilitate projectbased learning where we will teach and empower students to collaborate, create, and find solutions. Our drive to build an Innovation Center comes out of our strategic plan, Transforming Through Tradition, which calls upon St. Edmund to evolve as a school of distinctive academic
St. Edmund Prep’s commitment to preparing the leaders of tomorrow through STEAM education made evident in the creation of the Michael and Lois Koplin Innovation Center.
THE FUTURE IS INNOVATION
T excellence and innovation. We are already a school that encourages bold learning. Fully integrating STEAM through the Innovation Center will catapult our bold learners into another dimension. This new facility will give students the opportunity to think like makers. They will have the space and the tools to explore, make mistakes, become empathetic, and connect disparate ideas. The makerspace will encourage students to take risks and be active participants in their learning. The next step in bold learning, it will prepare them for the realities of the global economy.
