Celebrating our 57th Commencement Ceremony with the
Class of 2014
The Bishop Gorman High School community marked its 57th commencement ceremony and bid farewell to 277 members of the Class of 2014, June 1st at The Orleans Arena. The graduates were joined in their procession by members of the Class of 1964, the school’s “Golden Graduates” celebrating their 50th high school reunion. Those in attendance were addressed by Valedictorian Rebecca Arteaga and by commencement speaker and 1996 Gorman graduate, Nate Hunterton, U.S. Army Veteran and Territory Manager of Terumo Intervention Systems. Most Rev. Joseph A. Pepe, D.D., J.C.D. Bishop of the Diocese of Las Vegas, offered the invocation and presented the diplomas to the graduates. The commencement ceremony capped off two weeks of events in honor of the graduates which began with the traditional senior barbeque, followed by the senior academic awards presentation in which Salutatorian, Megan Gray, addressed her peers. With a 100% graduation rate and a 96% college bound rate, our seniors have been accepted to colleges and universities all over the United States including: Columbia, Creighton, Duke, Gonzaga, UNLV, UNR, United States Naval Academy and USC just to name a few. The Class of 2014 boasts one National Merit Scholarship Finalist, four National Merit Scholarship Commended Students, three National Hispanic Recognition Program Scholar Award winners, three National Achievement Program Awards, 36 athletic scholarships and was awarded over $19 million in scholarships.
Congratulations!

Class of 2017 freshman OF THE WEEK It is time to close out the freshman year of the class of 2017. It has simply flown by and went very well. It is my belief that this class will be highly successful in the years to come. Not only have they excelled academically and athletically, but they have also exhibited the characteristics we strive for with the PRIDE program: Preparedness, Respect, Integrity, Determination, and Effort. I hope their effort continues on to the sophomore year. Congratulations to all of those who were named Freshman of the Week. Irene Anderson, Dean Freshman PRIDE Program 9/6

Science in Southern Nevada
The awards presentation for the Cox Stars of Science 2014 Challenge was held on May 3rd. The challenge consisted of demonstrating through a digital story an understading of how science is found everywhere in Southern Nevada. Three of Dr. Mark Hancock’s AP Physics students made it to the final round. “It was a great event” said Dr. Hancock, “they had all sorts of science demos for the public to look at as well as everything from solar power panels to gliders to desert tortoise and, of course, lots and lots of bugs!”
Congratulations to: Kyle Smith ’14: 2nd place Health Science; Alexus Miranda ’14 – 3rd place Health Science; Kenneth Calimlim ’14 – 3rd place Applied Science.

Counselor’s Corner counseling summer hours: It is hard to believe that we have come to the close of another school year. During the summer the counseling staff will be available on a limited basis. Please see the dates listed below if you would like to speak directly to your child’s counselor or need to make an appointment during the summer. If an appointment is necessary, please call the Bishop Gorman main number at 732-1945, the secretary at the desk can schedule an appointment time. Our summer hours are from 7AM-2PM. Ryan Pietranton (A-D) July 14-17 Alice Braun (E-K) July 7-10 Rick Spiritosanto (L-Q) June 16-17, June 19-20
College Query of the Month I have finished my junior year. What can I do over the summer to prepare for the college application process?
Applying to college is exciting… and time consuming. Starting early is a wonderful way to make the process enjoyable. Here are some items to review over the summer before your senior year: 1 If you have not taken the ACT or SAT test, or plan to take either test again, review the test date options and decide which date(s) work for you.
Natalie Witucki (R-Z) June 24-27 Larry McAllister (College Counselor) June 9-12 The counseling staff will return full-time on Wednesday, July 30th. Administrators are on campus throughout the summer should you require immediate assistance, or you can contact the counseling secretary, Michelle Morton at 476-4045. SCHEDULE CHANGES: We are pleased to say it is another record breaking year for enrollment. At this time, there will be NO schedule changes and/or teacher requests! The only time a change will be made is if there is a mistake or you need a level change. For example, if you took a summer school course and it is listed on your fall course list or if you’re dropping a level. The master schedule is complete and the classes are very full. Quote of the Month: “Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow.” Doug Firebaugh
SUMMER WORK ASSIGNMENTS Many courses have Summer Work Requirements, including:
English Math Social Studies Science Foreign Language Art Find your assignments through a link on our Home Page at: www.bishopgorman.org 4
2 If you are travelling over the summer, consider visiting a college or two near your destination. Even if the closest college is one you don’t think you will consider, touring various types of institutions (large, small, private, public) will help you to narrow down your options. 3 Reflect on your high school experience thus far and add to or begin your resume. You can update the resume on your Naviance Family Connection page and use this information when completing your college applications. 4 Research what majors you want to consider and start to build a list of possible colleges. Naviance Family Connection has tools to help you determine your interests and research your options. 5 Start writing your essay. See the Essay section of the College Planner/Calendar to help you jump-start the process!

helping to end hunger in our community
baby Bottle Campaign At the beginning of the year, Carrie Keller ’15, contacted the Women’s Resource Medical Centers of Southern Nevada to inquire about how she could get involved. She decided to do a Baby Bottle Campaign which she launched at her church. Immediately, the impact that one person can have in making a difference in the lives of others was evident. Through Carrie’s leadership and determination she placed over 325 bottles and raised a total of $5,155.82 during the two weeks that she promoted the Baby Bottle Campaign. We congratulate Carrie on a fantastic job making an impact in our community by creatively getting involved and giving back.
Way To Go!
Activities Our Associated Student Government has been hard at work this year earning the NASC Southern Star Award, the NASC Silver Star Award and the National Gold Council of Excellence Award. Additionally, there were two students who ran for the Nevada Association of Student Councils State Board and were elected to represent student councils from around the state. A big congratulations to John Hatton ’15 for winning Division I-2 Vice President and Douglas McArthur ’16 for winning newsletter editor.
On May 6th, BGHS students, NHS members, and Mr. Goertemiller participated in Three Square’s “BackPack for Kids” program. The students packed 2,160 bags of weekend food for the kids and also sorted food and packed bags of candy and hygiene products. It was a fun and rewarding experience for all! Thanks to all who participated, Three Square was thrilled to have such an enthusiastic group!
Summer Enrichment gives back to the Community Two of Session 1 Summer Enrichment classes, teachers and staff joined forces in a one day effort to raise money for the families of the two Metro officers who lost their lives in the shooting on June 8th. Collaboratively, a $350.00 donation was made to Freed’s Bakery cupcake drive Wednesday June 11th which raised more than $ 52,270 as a result of generous community donations.

In the State Swimming and Diving meet, both the Men’s and Women’s teams qualified for the tournament, which was held at UNLV. In the Women’s State Championship, Bishop Gorman scored 130 points to run away from second-place Palo Verde (91) and win the title. The Gaels won all three relays and three individual events. Led by senior Amy Lubawy ’14, who set the state-record in the 50-yard freestyle (22.98 seconds) and the 100 free (49.82). Teammates Marley Maluafiti ’15 and Catie Miller ’14 finished first and second in the butterfly. It was the Gaels 5th straight title under head coach Ron Aitken.“This is probably as special as the first one. I don’t think people thought we could go five in a row”.
golf
Track & Field
Our Men’s Golf team headed by seniors Frank Frisbee ’14 and Bryce McEachern ’14, took honors by shooting the low two-day round of 148. They were joined by Blake Taylor ’17, Christian James ’16, Owen Rosebeck ’16 all of whom shot in the low 70s. Lastly, it was junior Anthony Lalli’s score which allowed the Gaels to soundly defeat Palo Verde with team totals of 373 and 368. Yet, without the competitive support of their teammates Vince Gargano ’15, Tyler Martinez ’15, Dominic Grisingher ’15, and Skylar Davidson ’16, those six starters wouldn’t have achieved their under-eighty scores.
The Bishop Gorman Track and Field team brought home three individual State Championships thanks to the Cunningham family. It was the second year in a row that the Cunningham’s swept the high jump at the state tournament. Randall Cunningham ’14 won his third Nevada State High Jump Championship with a jump of 6-11. His sister, Vashti Cunningham ’16, won the girl’s high jump at 6-1, and was first in the long jump at 18-10 ¼.
After their win, Frank Frisbee ’14 commented, “Golf is tough because it’s the one sport where you cannot communicate with your teammates. You’re matched against three kids from three separate schools, and you don’t know if your score is needed to win, or if it’s the one that can be dropped. That makes every shot count!”

Each of the three major categories in high school activities – academics, athletics and sportsmanship – are weighted equally, and boys and girls programs are combined in the standings table.

60th Anniversary - Pride in our Past, Celebrating the Present, Inspiring the Future The 2014-2015 school year will be marked with milestones commemorating our 60th anniversary including launching our new capital campaign, legacy now. Legacy Now is only the second campaign in Bishop Gorman’s 60 year history and is so important for the future of our school. This campaign will ensure that we maintain a strong foundation and that we take the necessary steps to preserve our legacy. The legacy now campaign will • Offer additional tuition assistance to deserving students • Provide continuing education and necessary resources to our faculty • Fund upcoming capital replacements and repairs It is our hope that with the support of our community we will be able to raise $10 million in gifts and pledges to fund these critical areas. We are off to a great start thanks to the generosity of the Engelstad Family Foundation and the families of Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta. They have agreed to MATCH each gift or pledge made by December 31st dollar for dollar up to $5 million.
You will be hearing more about these efforts in the coming months, it is our intention to invite every member of the Bishop Gorman community to participate in this important endeavor. Thank you in
advance for your support.
We couldn’t have made it 60 years without the generosity and support of our community and we hope everyone will join us in celebrating 60 years of excellence in Catholic college-preparatory education in the Las Vegas valley. The festivities will begin on Sunday, September 7th with a very special back to school mass commemorating our first day of school which was September 7, 1954. Mark your calendars and watch the mail for your invitation. As we embark on a historic new school year, we hope you will join us for all of our special events that will celebrate our 60 years of outstanding history and tradition.
