A Message from Dean of Academics

E

ach year I grow more proud of the accomplishments of our students and of the commitment of our faculty and administration to helping these young men and women succeed.

In this magazine we shed light on some of the various ways our students are achieving remarkable things at Father Ryan. No matter the interest level, no matter the subject and no matter the academic level, these young men and women are exploring the realms of knowledge and preparing themselves for an exceptional future.

Our students are studying and accomplishing in the classroom while they also are playing sports, performing in the band, testing their talents in a variety of visual and performing arts and living out a life of service. You’ll see examples of this throughout this piece; know that for every one that you see here, there are dozens more doing equally exceptional work.

We recognize that the scope of knowledge changes. That’s why we are constantly evaluating and adding courses and teaching techniques to make the academic experience more rewarding. We’ve added courses like Environmental Science, where students learn how to be “green” and why that’s important, Comparative Religions, Chinese, Personal Fitness, Asian Studies and Women’s Voices in Literature. All of these classes, plus 20 AP classes inspire our students to broaden their interests in their studies and succeed.

I invite you to review these accomplishments and discover again how our students and faculty are making a difference at Father Ryan, and how through their academic achievements they are continuing our tradition of Faith, Knowledge and Service.

D

octor, architect, musician, teacher, engineer, actor, service volunteer. The number of paths that Father Ryan students take is endless, but they all share the same quality education—one built on the values of faith, knowledge and service.

These values propel and guide all of our students beyond graduation to follow their dreams and find success no matter the path.

Like Nina Fredericks, who has successfully balanced a challenging academic course load including AP Calculus with extra-curricular activities—student ambassador and Ultimate Frisbee Club—and still makes time to participate in service organizations like Relay for Life and Rachel’s Challenge. The National Merit Scholarship Program recognized her as a Commended Student for her success on the PSAT. She also received the Presidential Scholarship to Creighton University where she will enroll in the fall.

Nick Pollard was named TSSAA’s Mr. Football based on his athletic skill, academics and character and earned an athletic scholarship to the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga. Besides being an athlete, he is also a student ambassador who represents Father Ryan on and off campus. He actively volunteers in the Nashville community with organizations such as Room in the Inn, Nashville’s Soup Kitchen and Norman Binkley Elementary School.

Catherine Glidwell has been awarded the Women’s Economic Council Scholarship, the Vol State Award and Outstanding Student of America among others for her work with the Girl Scouts, 4-H and the Jason Foundation. At Father Ryan, she is heavily involved with Forensics and the Purple Masque Players, starring in the 2009 production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Her active involvement with school and community organizations helped her land acceptance to Oglethorpe University where she will study the performing arts.

College Paved With Faith, Knowledge, Service For his leadership and service in the community, Michael Petcu earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest honor given in Boy Scouts. He also received the Eagle Scholarship to the University of Evansville, where he will attend in the fall. Throughout his four years, he demonstrated a solid balance of extracurricular activities with academic achievement—he participated in Father Ryan’s Purple Masque Players, Model UN, Tennessee Boys State Convention, all while maintaining honor roll status.

Harrison Daigle has proven himself a Renaissance man—an athlete, a thespian and a scholar. He is a member of the Cum Laude Society, Thespian Honor Society and National Honor Society. For his academics and quality character, he earned three scholarships to Louisiana State University.

This senior class has already demonstrated an infinite amount of leadership and academic success. Seven students have been honored by National Merit, three of those as Finalists. A total of 132 students took at least one of 20 AP exams this year in addition to other courses at the college-level.

As a premier Catholic, college preparatory school, Father Ryan knows that curriculum matters to college administrators. Our students have the opportunity to take everything from Chinese to Web Design to Environmental Science. We offer an extensive list of upper level and honors courses along with 20 AP classes in history, English, psychology, fine arts, math, science, language and music.

The number of extra-curricular activities is equally varied, topping at nearly 70 student clubs and organizations. It’s not unusual for many students to take a couple of AP classes and be a member of a varsity sport, an honor society and a service club. This variety of opportunities has inspired 100 percent of the class of 2010 to continue their education and garner some exceptional awards.

Wherever this class leads in the next four to eight years, success is most likely to follow.

Primed For The T

he transition from high school to beyond is an exciting and often times challenging one for students. But for the 84th graduating class of Father Ryan, the transition will be one for which they are well-prepared, primed with the social and academic skills, the drive and the self-sufficiency to succeed. After all, Father Ryan is a college preparatory school, and this year’s class is pursuing higher education like never before.

With Father Ryan’s excellent curriculum and focus on work ethic, it’s not hard to believe that this graduating class has been accepted to prestigious colleges and universities close to home such as Vanderbilt, Rhodes and Belmont to schools farther afield: Boston College, College of Charleston, Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute, St. Louis University, Villanova, Washington and Lee and the University of Notre Dame among others.

The Class of 2010 was accepted to more than 100 colleges and universities across the country with one student attending college in Europe. Eighteen of those schools are Catholic institutions. Since freshman year, two full-time college counselors have worked with these students, coaching them to make choices that maximize their college opportunities.

What Are Colleges & Universities Seeking?

Schools look for more than just test scores and grades nowadays. Although these factors are important, they only paint part of the picture for schools searching for the brightest and most wellrounded students. They look to the strength of the curriculum and the courses students have studied to determine how hard students have pushed themselves.

Extra-curricular activities, grade point averages, test scores and recommendations also play a role in the admissions process.

According to Sarah Wilkinson, Father Ryan’s Director of College Counseling, a higher number of students are seeking acceptance at state schools at a time when “state colleges and universities are selective and getting much more so. The Hope Lottery Scholarship and the General Assembly Merit for high achievers are attracting high caliber students to Tennessee schools.”

Whether for a Catholic secondary education, a private college or a state school, Father Ryan’s mission is to prepare students for the college of their choice.

Sarah Wilkinson knows that “not every student is right for an east coast Ivy League school just as every student is not right for a large university.” Father Ryan prepares students for their next course of study by focusing on an outstanding curriculum and challenging students to work to their full potential.

College Course Graduates Inspired To Seek Catholic College Education F

ACT Scores Proof of College Preparedness Acceptance into the Father Ryan community is not based on academic ability. In fact, Father Ryan prides itself on welcoming students with a wide range of academic abilities. But while Father Ryan students come to school with different talents, our administration and faculty work to develop academic achievement in all our students.

Students are encouraged at every level to discipline themselves and respond to challenges in their fields of interest. As a result, our students consistently attain high scores in standardized testing such as the ACT.

ather Ryan’s emphasis on faith, knowledge and service parallels the qualities that Catholic colleges and universities are looking for in their students. This year’s seniors have been accepted to and many are attending the following Catholic colleges: Bellarmine University Boston College Brescia University Catholic University of America Christian Brothers University College of Mount St. Joseph Creighton University John Carroll University

The Inspiration Of The Arts

R

eading Shakespearean literature or solving a mathematical equation are important parts of an education, but they aren’t the only parts. One of the strengths of Father Ryan programs is the breadth of course offerings, designed to ground students in the basics while exposing them to new areas of learning and discovery. Father Ryan students have the opportunity to develop their skills and excel by expanding their abilities a textbooks and computer screens to the fine arts.

Senior Carter Brallier has a penchant for the arts.

He has been involved with Father Ryan’s theatre group, Purple Masque Players, all four years and has taken several courses in theatrical production.

He is also an accomplished musician, playing double bass for the bluegrass band Supple Station Trio. In the fall, he will attend Columbia College Chicago, the largest arts and media college in the country.

Sean Della Croce is also an accomplished musician. Her musical talent has received international attention from the prestigious The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, where she will be attending in the fall.

She was chosen from 1,000 applicants world-wide for one of 55 available openings in the school’s music performance program. She has established her own

music publishing company, Working Week Music, which is affiliated with the SESAC performance rights society. She has just released her debut EP, On The Line, for which she wrote all the songs. Apart from her musical work, she is a staff writer for the Moina and a member of the National Honor Society.

The Father Ryan Band has a rich tradition of providing opportunities for students interested in learning about and playing music, from Jazz Band to Marching Band to AP Music Theory. This past year, the marching band won the Mayor’s Cup for the second year in a row at the Music City Invitational.

The winter guard also took home first place at the Southeastern Color Guard Circuit Championship and the Beech Winter Guard Competition. Trained in one of the strongest band programs in the country, numerous alumni continue to play and march with college band programs around the country.

The theatre program also draws a number of students with classes like Theatrical Production and the theatre group Purple Masque Players that help refine skills on the stage and backstage. Last year, the Players performed The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Bye, Bye Birdie.

Today, Father Ryan offers clubs and courses of study that appeal to a diverse group of students. For those interested in the arts, there is AP Studio Art, Dance Team, Honors Choir, Marching Band, Forensics, Music Theory, Theatrical Design and a dozen more.

“It’s our belief that we can educate beyond the intellect by engaging students in subjects that are interesting and have an impact in students’ lives,” said Principal Paul Davis. “When you have a talented and committed arts faculty like ours, you never know where one arts course might lead for an interested student.”

Students Inducted Into Academic Societies

O

ver 50 Father Ryan students were honored for their academic achievement with inductions into the Cum Laude Society and the Cardinal Newman Association this year.

The Cum Laude Society is the most prestigious academic society for secondary schools in the world. Father Ryan, whose chapter began in 2003, is one of only four schools in Nashville and the only Catholic high school with a Cum Laude Society chapter. Membership is based on weighted grade point average, nationally averaged test scores and strength of curriculum. The top 20 percent of the senior class and ten percent of the junior class are considered for membership annually.

National Merit Honors Seven Ryan Students

S

even students from the Class of 2010 were honored by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, totaling 102 students honored by National Merit in the last 12 years. Four of those students were named Commended Students and three were named Finalists.

(Front row) Emmy DiGiovanni, Dom DiGiovanni, Nina Fredericks, Katie Boyd (Back row) Principal Paul Davis ‘81, President Jim McIntyre, Stephanie Doctor, Becca Menke, Matthew Warrick

Twenty seniors and 13 juniors received the honor this year. Senior members inducted, not including the 15 seniors inducted last year, were Marcus Bauer, Aaron Bush, Jackson Coursey, Kevin Davis, Nina Fredericks, Madison Fuzzell, Elizabeth Gentile, Jazz Godard, Taylor Heim, Kayla Howell, Eric Johnson, Nicholas Lane, Thomas Marsden, Stephanie Miller, Madchen Petrie, Rachel Sharber, Julia Sharp, Amanda Sim, Katie Townsend and Elizabeth Westbrook.

Junior members inducted were Andre Agassi, Cameron Burnett, Jeremy Cunningham, Robert Dorrell, Graham Englert, Tanner Hamilton, Jocelyn Johnson, Quinn O’Heeney, Sarah Rolick, Dominic Rota, Kate Showers, Luke Wilgenbusch and Emily Young.

The Cardinal Newman Association recognizes students with an ACT of 30 or higher or SAT of 1320 or higher. Twenty-six seniors and seven juniors were honored this year. Seniors inducted, not including the six from last year were Olivia Baird, Marcus Bauer, Katie Boyd, Amie Bradshaw, Katie Butler, Peter Catalano, Chris Dahlhauser, Stephanie Doctor, Nina Fredericks, Madison Fuzzell, Michelle Green, Sarah Hayden, Dominic Herrmann, Ross McKenzie, Thomas Marsden, Stephanie Miller, Patrick Nicholson, Madchen Petrie, Kyle Stoney, Katie Townsend, Jennifer Travis, Matthew Warrick, Wes Wesley, Elizabeth Westbrook, Chase Wilson and Eric Woeppel.

Juniors inducted were Andre Agassi, Jeremy Cunningham, Evin Edens, Graham Englert, Tanner Hamilton, Quinn O’Heeney and Luke Wilgenbusch.

Katie Boyd, Stephanie Doctor, Nina Fredericks and Matthew Warrick earned the honor of Commended Student. Dom DiGiovanni, Emmy DiGiovanni and Becca Menke earned recognition as Finalists.

According to the National Merit Scholarship Corporation’s official website, approximately 1.5 million students take the PSAT each year, with 34,000 (2.3%) named Commended Students and only 15,000 (1%) named Finalists.

The students represent a total of six parishes and Catholic schools throughout the Diocese of Nashville, including Christ the King, Holy Rosary, St. Matthew and St. Rose of Lima. Collectively, the students completed a total of 98 honors and 51 AP classes during their four years and have an average weighted GPA of 4.6.

Top Students Continue To Impress

E

ach year, Father Ryan’s valedictorian and salutatorian represent two students who have reached the pinnacle of academic success in their class.

Naturally, these students have completed nearly a Dom DiGiovanni dozen Advanced Placement Valedictorian and honors classes, but what is less discerning is their active involvement outside of the classroom and the humility they maintain throughout it all.

Dom DiGiovanni and Becca Menke were named Father Ryan’s 2010 valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively, but are still your average teenagers. They attend sports games with friends, participate in school clubs and are looking forward to college life. Their hectic academic schedule—18 AP classes between them—is slightly above average but is counterbalanced by activities outside of the classroom, including athletics and service organizations.

Dom is a member of the National Honor Society and Cum Laude Society and manager for the lacrosse and basketball teams. During his senior year, he was also elected by his peers to be “Ryan Man”, the school’s leprechaun-like mascot and spirit leader, clad in top hat and coattails.

Colleges across the country recognized his strong leadership and academic abilities. He received acceptance letters from Alabama, Auburn, Hillsdale College, Notre Dame, Sewanee, St. Joseph’s, UVA, Vanderbilt, Villanova and Washington and Lee. The decision wasn’t easy, but he has decided to spend his collegiate career at Hillsdale College in Michigan.

Becca has chosen to stay closer to home and enroll in Auburn, where she received a full academic scholarship. She was also accepted to Bellarmine,

Christian Brothers University, Rhodes, Spring Hill College, St. Louis University, University of Dayton, UT Knoxville and Xavier.

The number of acceptance letters is not Becca Menke surprising considering Salutatorian her level of commitment in academics and service activities. She is a founding member of the Future Physicians of America, a member of the National Honor Society and Spanish Honor Society, a student ambassador and a varsity athlete on the soccer and track teams. Even with all these activities, she still finds time for involvement in her community by volunteering at LifeTeen, Second Harvest Food Bank and Catholic Heart Work Camp.

Without a doubt, Dom and Becca have been very busy and in their four years have accomplished an extraordinary amount. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation recognized both students as Finalists in their scholarship program for their performance on the Preliminary SAT (PSAT). Only 1% of students in the country who take the test each year qualify as Finalists.

“I am continually impressed with the successes our students achieve each year. Dom and Becca are phenomenal examples of what can be accomplished with hard work and the support of a community of teachers, friends and family,” said Jim McIntyre, president.

With the heavy amount of academic and extracurriculars under their belts, these top students will have the capability to pursue excellence beyond Father Ryan and achieve leadership roles in their own communities.

McIntyre agrees, “I have no doubt that their dedication and integrity will take them far in life, and I know I will hear great things from them in the future.”

College Course Father Ryan Around The World W

hen it comes to a well-rounded and quality education, Father Ryan thinks outside the box—or borders, so to speak. Realizing the value of international cultural experiences, the school offers an expansive foreign language program to give its students a more global perspective.

recent graduate tested out of her first year of college Chinese completely, moving directly into the second year of study.

Students are also finding success at the secondary level. Following his sophomore year at Ryan, Robert Dorrell, a rising senior, qualified for participation in a two-week program in China in the summer of 2009. He was one of 500 students chosen from around the world to participate in studying the Chinese language and culture, including calligraphy, brush painting, paper-cutting and martial arts.

Like Robert, other students are exploring cultures outside of the U.S. Five students in Father Ryan’s Spanish program will embark on an overseas trip this summer to Salamanca, Spain for a three-week immersion program.

Marci Davison, Robert Gallagher, Taylor Hawken, Alexandra Jones and Ryan Weiss will live with native families while studying the Spanish language and culture through classes and excursions around the country.

In 2006, Father Ryan introduced Chinese into its foreign language courses. As the language of the fourth largest and fastest growing economy in the world, it was an appropriate addition in preparing students for their post-secondary studies. The 2010-2011 school year marks the first year for Chinese as a full four-year language program at Ryan, with plans for an Advanced Placement component for interested students.

Like the other language courses, Chinese incorporates software programs in addition to texts to aid students in hearing, speaking and writing the language.

Graduates who have completed two years of the Chinese program have met with great success at the post-secondary level. Studies in the language have prompted more and varied interest from colleges and universities that offer courses in the language or international business. One

The study abroad program enables these students to develop language skills, meet high school students from around the globe and gain an understanding for other cultures. Students who complete the program will earn a half credit in their elective courses.

Not only are these programs consistent with Father Ryan’s mission, but they are also part of the school’s strategic goal—for each student to graduate with an international cultural experience. Its implementation is already underway through the help of dedicated faculty and students. Today, Father Ryan offers foreign language courses in French, Spanish, Latin and Chinese. Among its student organizations, it counts the Multicultural Student Union, Spanish Club, Latin Club, French Club as well as the Foreign Language Honor Society.

Their Paths To

Destined To Serve F

ather Ryan students have always exemplified the strong character and moral fiber valued by the nation’s military academies. Since 2000, 19 students have received appointments to these distinguished institutions. Last year, two students were accepted to military academies and in 2008, one student received appointments from three.

Continuing Ryan’s long and celebrated history with academy appointments this year is Rachel Quesinberry, who received an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Quesinberry is the secretary of the National Honor Society and a leading scorer on the basketball team. Her military appointment is the third for a female at Father Ryan in the last decade.

“Rachel’s military appointment is a tremendous honor not only for her, but for her family and teachers.

This honor speaks well of her character and is evidence of the integrity and hard work she has demonstrated throughout her time here at Father Ryan,” says Jim McIntyre, president.

That integrity and hard work continue to be demonstrated in many alumni both during and after their tenure in the military academy. Patrick Marchetti ’09 earned an appointment to West Point and a spot on the wrestling team. He was awarded the 2009-2010 Wally Crum Memorial Award, given annually to the “Most Courageous Wrestler” in the fourth class. Andre Dieu ’01 graduated from the Air Force Academy and is a pilot of the C-17A Globemaster III, a military airlift/ airdrop plane. He was recently stationed in Turkey and has successfully transported over 1.6 million pounds of cargo and 235 passengers.

According to Mr. McIntyre, the appeal of the military academies to Ryan students and the appeal of Ryan students to the academies may be due to the similar values the military embraces as the foundation

for their service. “We expect a lot from our students— demanding academics and moral behavior. We also provide our students with leadership opportunities, engaging them in service activities and encouraging them to be people of integrity,” McIntyre said. “The military welcomes and reinforces those values.”

Students College Paved With Recognized Faith, Knowledge, Service For Service

S

ince 1925, Father Ryan has built a reputation in forming motivated, principled and compassionate students.

One of the defining characteristics of a Father Ryan education is service. Each year, students are asked to perform 120 hours of service to the underprivileged and marginalized with many of them going far beyond that request.

With the level of service Father Ryan students are performing, the school has created a new way to recognize their exceptional and selfless acts of giving.

The 2009-2010 school year marks the first year for the St. Vincent de Paul Service Society. The society was created to recognize students who have made a commitment to service during their time at Father Ryan. Its namesake, St. Vincent de Paul, serves as a connection between the saint of the poor and students and also honors the Daughters of Charity

who have worked tirelessly with the poor in the Diocese of Nashville.

The St. Vincent de Paul’s Service Society’s inaugural year honored 23 students in April. Members inducted were Allisa Best, Evan Bohn, Amelia Bradshaw, Erin Brady, Jessica Burgy, Kathleen Butler, Sean Della Croce, Kay-Ann Curtis, Graham Englert, Nina Fredericks, Elizabeth Gentile, Catherine Glidwell, O’Neil Johnson, Kerry Lindstrom, Rebecca Menke, Stephanie Miller, Rachel Quesinberry, Andrea Robleto, Jackson Shacklett, Claire Stewart, Jennifer Travis, Rachel VanMeter and Elizabeth Westbrook.

Students Excel In Advanced Placement

A

dvanced Placement courses provide an opportunity for students to challenge themselves with year-long, collegelevel study on a specific subject. The preparation these courses provide enables students to pursue upper level courses in college at an earlier stage, furthering their interests and expanding their educational opportunities.

Father Ryan offers 20 AP courses, a number that has grown significantly, with subjects such as Statistics, Music Theory, Art and Spanish Literature among those added. In the past year, 132 students have enrolled in 265 AP courses, averaging two AP exams to each student. For the past five years, the pass rate—a grade of 3 or higher—has remained a constant 80 percent or above, with many students earning college credit for their scores. In 2009, 100 percent of AP Calculus students earned a perfect score of 5.
