A Letter from the President Mary Whipkey

Dear Camden Catholic Community,

As I close the door on my service to Camden Catholic, I wish to thank you for teaching me about your passion for your alma mater Through my family, who have either worked here or been educated here, and through the vast amount of alumni whom I have met over the years, I became so passionate about the mission of the school This mission, started by the Sisters of Mercy, has given countless teenagers the foundation to become productive faithful citizens I have been blessed to have contributed to such a special place

As I move forward, Camden Catholic will continue to be led by the strong leadership of Rory Sweeney who soon enough will “bleed green ” I know he looks forward to hearing the many stories of Camden Catholic and seeing the passion that lies within the souls of our alumni

Thank you for your time, treasure, and talents over my years at Camden Catholic Today, Catholic education needs the support of its alumni more than ever Please continue to support the school however you can! If you are impressed with the school and have never given, there is always time to start. Camden Catholic needs all of your support.

I will continue to remember all of you in my prayers “May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.”

In gratitude, Mary Whipkey

A Letter from the Board Chair Jack

Wixted ’72

Dear Camden Catholic Community,

The 2022-2023 school year will be remembered as a year of transition, as we bid a fond farewell to our President, Mary Whipkey, and welcome a new President, Rory Sweeney As a Board of Trustees, we are thankful for the unwavering stewardship of President Whipkey through her almost 20 years of dedicated service to our Camden Catholic community Fittingly, the theme for this year ’ s magazine is CCHS forming women leaders. The feature story highlights some 12 alumnae, including a recognition of the school's founding by the Sisters of Mercy, and Mary's leadership over the past 20 years. Indeed, in honor of Mary’s leadership and her many contributions to CCHS the Board recommended to Bishop Dennis J Sullivan, and the Bishop approved, the recognition of Mary C Whipkey as President Emerita honoris causa, of Camden Catholic High School In addition, the board announced the establishment of the Mary C Whipkey Leadership Scholarship that will be awarded annually to a qualified incoming student or students who exhibit qualities of leadership in scholastic achievement in the classroom and in extracurricular activities, and service to others in the community, with such leadership steeped in the Catholic tradition of mercy.

The Board of Trustees also recognizes and applauds the unwavering stewardship of Principal, Heather Crisci, the diligent efforts of our Administration and the teaching excellence of our faculty The school continues a path to sustained excellence through academic achievement and unmatched superiority in both the performing arts and athletics Of course, none of our accomplishments would be possible without the counsel and guidance of the Diocese of Camden and His Excellency Bishop Sullivan and Superintendent, Dr Bill Watson, and we thank them for their thoughtful and spirited support.

Academic accomplishments abounded at CCHS demonstrated by our seniors earning over $23,605,000 in scholarships and grants to our nation’s finest universities Our students are also committed to giving back to their community They volunteered their time and generosity at several local organizations, including Catholic Charities of South Jersey, Joseph's House of Camden, and the Cherry Hill Food Pantry, among others.

The bright lights once again were shining on the performing arts with an impressive production of Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn Camden Catholic’s athletic teams stood out this year as we placed a team in the state championship game in each season and two brought home the ultimate prize in Field Hockey and Wrestling, a State Championship The Field Hockey team finished its season as the number one ranked team in the country! In addition, the golf team qualified for the state tournament for the first time in many years and the baseball team celebrated 100 years of hardball at CCHS. Further value in our athletic programs was demonstrated by the fact that 26 of our athletes will be taking their skills to the collegiate level.

The Camden Catholic Board of Trustees is comprised of professionals with diverse backgrounds and life experiences who offer their time, talent and treasure for the betterment of the CCHS community I would like to especially recognize and thank Charlie Grandi, Rafiq Heigler and Carlos Morales, who will step down from the Board. Each of Charlie, Rafiq and Carlos brought their business experience and thought-provoking ideas that enhanced Camden Catholic’s academic innovation, financial sustainability, and cultural diversity.

I also extend a grateful welcome to our newly appointed trustees, Joseph Caputi, an attorney who is Director of Compliance/Legal for a Hoboken, NJ based company and John Dulczak, CEO and Co-Founder of a company providing retiree health benefit plans We look forward to Joe and John sharing their insights, expertise, and business acumen as we enhance our academic and extracurricular initiatives.

I am confident that CCHS is on the right track Our students are bright, talented, and compassionate Our faculty and staff are dedicated and hardworking And our community is supportive and engaged

None of our progress is possible without the financial support provided by generous alumni and friends through our many advancement and development initiatives, including the Annual Fund, Irish Giving Day, the Spring Musical, the Hall of Fame, among other fundraising opportunities Please keep Camden Catholic in your prayers and continue your generosity GO IRISH!

“ Mary Whipkey has changed Camden Catholic “For Good.”

Mrs. Whipkey's influence extended far beyond my time at Camden Catholic Her guidance and support were instrumental not only during my college and law school years, but will remain invaluable as I continue on my professional and personal journey. Her mentorship has left an enduring mark on my life.

Mrs,. Whipkey and good luck on the next adventure!

We loved going to theater camp and hanging out in Tootsie’s office after camp and eating lunch. Then we would play teacher in the classroom.

I would like to take credit for choosing CCHS in 8th grade I mean I was kinda destined for CCHS at birth when my name went up on the CCHS sign on Cuthbert on March 17,1983

Aside from all of that, my mom has always had a passion for Catholic education. She took a brief hiatus when we were young kids but she jumped at the chance to join CCHS in the development role Her passion was contagious and that helped foster incredible growth for the school

Watching my mom as the leader of CCHS has been an honor She has taught me how to be a faithful mom, a strong woman, and a fearless leader. Her loyalty to her family, CCHS and her faith is unwavering. I’m excited she can enjoy the next chapter in her life as Tootsie to 7 grandkids and teach them the meaning of honor, faith and loyalty and we will never forgot our years as the Fightin’ Irish!

Mary Whipkey was, is, and will continue to be a blessing to [The Performing Arts] program. To say that she will be missed is an understatement. Many people don’t realize how much she has done for the program because of how humble she is, but she has put her entire heart and soul into it We would not be where we are today without her

For close to two decades, Camden Catholic has experienced a renaissance of change and growth. The majority of this innovation can be traced back to the incredible Mary Whipkey, not only President of CCHS, but wife of a former CCHS teacher, parent of three CCHS graduates, former advancement and admissions director, Hall of Fame founder, most recently, President Emerita and many other titles. While not an alumna, Mary wears just about every other hat within this green and white building Throughout her eighteen year career, she ushered in an era of change that pushed the school into the twentyfirst century while maintaining its rich and storied traditions founded by the beloved Sisters of Mercy.

Mary’s love of CCHS began in 1980 when her husband, Colin Whipkey, affectionately known as Whip, taught at the school. During his time as teacher, Mary was pregnant with her first son Multiple days after her due date, she sat in the hard wooden auditorium chairs seeing the incredible production of The Sound of Music in 1983 and traveled on a bus to watch a basketball playoff game hoping that she would go into labor In true Irish fashion, her first son, Patrick Whipkey ‘01, was born on St Patrick’s Day with the announcement even being made on the sign on Cuthbert Boulevard.

After teaching, a career in pharmaceutical sales and raising her three children, Patrick ‘01, Molly ‘03 and Shane ‘05, she began working at CCHS in the year 2004 first serving as the school’s second advancement director and then admissions director In 2007, she was diagnosed

It has been a privilege to work with Mary these past 18 years Much has been accomplished under her leadership Mary spearheaded fund raising , established a legacy process, reached out to alumni and parents, negotiated difficult issues, all the while raising the profile of Camden Catholic. Mary wore many hats, handled challenges with grace as her faith never wavered in the mission of the school she loved Mary will be truly missed

with stage 4 breast cancer She battled courageously while still serving the CCHS community and making it the place that we know and love today

In 2013, she became the interim president making her the first female president in CCHS history She was promoted to President in the year 2014 and catapulted CCHS into a time of growth and change that has made the current school what it is today

Throughout her tenure here at CCHS, she began the annual fund in 2004 raising close to $200,000 in its inaugural year She spearheaded the elevator project to make the school more accessible to all in 2005 as well as the renovation of the auditorium and the lockers in the girls locker room in 2007

Moreover, she created and organized the Camden Catholic Hall of Fame in 2007 which is now a rich part of CCHS alumni culture. One can also trace her work to the capital improvement of the former lunchroom to the creation of the John Pisa Dining Hall in 2014. Her other accomplishments include the creation

Since I have known Mrs Whipkey, she has always been selfless and shows much kindness towards anyone she encounters! Anything you tell her she will never forget and make it a point to make you feel important! She is most certainly the Heart of Camden Catholic High School! Thank you for everything you have done for the school and my family! We are truly blessed!

Innovation has always been a priority of Mary’s as depicted through her work in the upgrading of the science labs in 2008 and the physics lab in 2012 She helped establish the Msgr Brennan Fellowship which helped establish the creation of J-Term here at CCHS. Additionally, she secured crucial funding to create the Ethel Mae Hocker Information Commons project which created a space for students to learn, collaborate and grow in a non-traditional study environment The crowning jewel of these projects is the Innovation Lab which was built in 2021 which launched a whole host of new possibilities for our students including robotics, 3D printing and so much more Furthermore, she has helped create four classrooms of the future which feature unique furniture that promotes collaborative learning Mary has also led the production of the spring musical for many years A tireless supporter of The Arts at CCHS, Mary has overseen the completion of the PilarzDiStanislao Music room in 2010 and the Susan Blacks Fitzpatrick Piano Lab in 2022 She also organized the 100 Years of Musicals performance and gala in April of 2022 that will forever be remembered as one of the most amazing nights in CCHS history

She has fundraised collectively close to $20 million throughout her career here at CCHS and founded the school’s biggest fundraiser, Irish Giving Day. Since its inception in 2015, Irish Giving Day has raised over $1 million for the school The day has become a celebration for

Her love of CCHS was evident through everything she did and because of her love for the students who walk through it’s very halls, CCHS is now a second home to me and many other students and alumni. Mrs. Whipkey, for everything you have done for me, my family, and the school I’m so blessed to attend, thank you and have a wonderful retirement!.

current students, friends and alumni to celebrate a place that means so much to all. It is Mary Whipkey we have to thank for making all of our Irish eyes smile

One of her most important roles has also been serving as a model of the Catholic faith A parishioner of St Joan of Arc, Marlton, NJ, she has served as an example of what it means to live the faith and the teachings of the Sisters of Mercy Always inspired by Mother Catherine McAuley, Mary shares her faith journey with the students of CCHS, says hi to the students she sees at Sunday Mass and often references the homily they heard One of her most recent speeches, which took place at the National Honor Society induction ceremony, discussed the importance of failure and the overarching belief that God has a plan for our lives This belief has guided Mary her whole life and has never let her down.

As Mother McAuley states, “We must strive to do ordinary things extraordinarily well ” Mary Whipkey; however, has done extraordinary things extraordinarily well The love and dedication of not only herself, but of her whole family to Camden Catholic is second to none and for that we are grateful We hope that she relaxes on the beaches of Wildwood Crest and watches the beautiful seeds she planted here at CCHS grow into a garden that will further God’s Kingdom

My mom started during my junior year at CCHS, while I will leave most of my CCHS stories off the record, it was me looking back after graduating when I truly realized the impact she was having on CCHS. She has taken after her late father Jack in many ways with a never back down attitude, and always fighting for those who are less fortunate, while maintaining her rock solid faith Through challenging times she has bought CCHS to present day with many physical updates to the school but I think her lasting legacy will be the intangible things my mother has done at Camden Catholic. With her ability to connect with so many alumni and raise funds through the several capital campaigns she has been able to give the gift of Catholic Education to those who otherwise wouldn't have that option and touched the lives of so many in the process As a 16 year old junior at CCHS I wouldn't have been able to fathom the impact she would have, now looking back it is crystal clear. As Steven Jobs has said "you can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backward " Now I am looking forward to having "Toot's" full attention as my wife and I expect our first child (on 6/13!), the first grandchild to be born while my mom is not also working full time!

I was asked to give my thoughts on Mary’s tenure as president of CCHS I thought that’s a no brainer, she’s an indefatigable force of nature! Then It occurred to me that’s only the broad stroke, Mary is more nuanced than that. She’s a nurturing caring “ mom “ to the students, a fierce champion of the faculty, administration and staff And now she’s retiring!

My thought?

Job exceedingly well done Mary! May God bless you

Mrs Whipkey stands tall on the list of Camden Catholic's leadership history For over 20 years, Mrs Whipkey graced the halls of our beloved alma mater guiding generations of students to academic excellence and personal growth. Not even a bout with cancer could get in her way. As Mrs. Whipkey moves on to her next chapter, I cannot help but to reflect on and admire her selfless dedication, stoic demeanor, and the countless lives she has touched A true leader in every sense of the word Thank you, Mrs Whipkey - Joseph Danfield ‘05

Mary Whipkey has been an invaluable asset to CCHS, demonstrating exceptional dedication and a special focus on bolstering alumni relations and supporting extracurricular activities and sports She has made a lasting impact on both students and coworkers

A Letter from Our New President Rory Sweeney

Dear CCHS School Community,

I hope you are enjoying a relaxing and rejuvenating summer! I am writing this letter just prior to my official start date at Camden Catholic High School I am eager to get started and appreciate this opportunity to share some of my thoughts!

A theme I have noticed in my early interactions with CCHS students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff, administration, board members, and benefactors is a deep commitment to generosity and gratitude The incredible CCHS generosity of spirit, manifest in donations of time, talent, and treasure, is illustrated on each page of this magazine and is something truly worthy of celebration From my perspective, the outpouring of generosity is inspired by sincere gratitude for the transformative gift of Catholic education offered by Camden Catholic High School. This culture of gratitude is strong evidence of our school's success in transmitting the values of the Gospel across decades and generations I sincerely thank you for your generosity and look forward to sustaining and growing CCHS’ culture of generosity and gratitude as President

At one point or another, I have done about 90% of the jobs that exist in a Catholic High School. I have formally served as a teacher, disciplinarian, administrative staff member, principal, and president. Through all of my experiences, I have learned that building authentic relationships with others and building strong teams is the most effective strategy for sustaining success So, I want to get to know you! Moreover, Pope Francis has called us to engage in a process of synodality that emphasizes listening to others and building systems of collaboration as a strategy to sustain and grow our global church. So, in the spirit of both synodality and friendship, I would like to personally invite you to connect with me in a manner that is convenient for you Whether it is an in-person meeting, phone call, zoom, email thread, or exchange of letters, I am very interested in learning about you, your CCHS experience, your ideas for the future, and the opportunities you see for CCHS to improve. I can be contacted at rory.sweeney@camdencatholic.org, 300 Cuthbert Blvd Cherry Hill, NJ 08002 or 856-663-2247

In the CCHS spirit of gratitude, I would also like to offer Mary Whipkey congratulations on her retirement as President of Camden Catholic High School! Mary’s accomplishments as a philanthropic and academic leader are truly unmatched Her leadership and wisdom have positively impacted thousands of lives, including mine in the very brief time I have had the pleasure of knowing Mary. I am grateful to follow in the footsteps of a humble steward who courageously modernized our school, without sacrificing identity or culture, and built an incredibly strong network of friends and benefactors committed to the current and future success of CCHS I am in awe of Mary’s professional accomplishments but am impressed even more by her character. During a time when someone with less integrity may have had a foot out the door, Mary led my onboarding process with great attention to detail and an earnest desire for a strong transition Mary Whipkey’s contributions to CCHS as President and her powerful example of Christian Charity will not soon be forgotten

I hope to see or hear from you soon and until then please be assured of my prayers for you, your families, and our school! Go Irish!

Facult y Farewells

After more than 30 years as a member of Camden Catholic’s English department faculty, Mrs. Donna Maccherone has retired Her considerable experience has provided guidance for thousands of Camden Catholic literature students who she taught how to examine texts, compose poetry, and explore the words of the great American and British writers Her adeptness at meeting a student where they are and bringing their writing to the next level has more than adequately prepared our students for college level courses

Music teacher extraordinaire Mr. Gregory Gardner takes leave of CCHS to further his education In a letter to the community, Mr Gardner shared “I will be returning to The Catholic University of America to complete my graduate degree While it’s always difficult to say goodbye, as we know from graduation ceremonies each year, we ultimately celebrate these new beginnings and the journey ahead As I prepare to depart from CCHS, I want to express that my heart is full The arts programs and structures that have been established are robust and growing, and I am very excited for the next chapters in my life ”

“I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of the performing arts students It has been an honor to work with you over these past few years, and I am immensely proud of the progress we have made together Your dedication d passion for the arts have not only enriched my life, but also the lives of countless hers in our community ”

One of the most exciting aspects of working with students in the performing arts is he challenge of the first day How can we possibly learn a book of 25 band charts, xecute complex dance routines, or perform in front of a packed audience? But as we ise to these challenges, we discover that we are capable of more than we ever imagined While some of you may see my d enge, I encourage you to rise to it Share your talents generously, welcome new members into our arts community, and keep pushing yourselves to new heights With your dedication and hard work, I have no doubt that the arts at Camden Catholic will continue to thrive And who knows? Maybe one day, you'll have the chance to return and continue the work of this wonderful school ”

Thank you to these incredible faculty members for their service to the Camden Catholic community.

We wish you many blessings!

The Sisters of Mercy, under the direction of their founder, Mother Catherine McAuley, were the first Camden Catholic teachers to show students the way of faith, dedication, hard work and humility

The Mercy Sisters haven’t been in the CCHS halls for quite some time but their almost sacred order to “be shining lamps, giving light to all ” has influenced so many young men and women– students and teachers, principals and presidents– who came after them Historically, it hasn’t always been easy for women to shine their lights in certain professions, but the female leaders who have come out of Camden Catholic are not ones to cower In fact, many, many CCHS alumnae are some of the most accomplished women in their fields; so now we shine a spotlight on Camden Catholic women in leadership roles

First and foremost, appreciation goes to the woman in the school’s top leadership position for the past ten years, esteemed PRESIDENT MARY WHIPKEY, who is retiring after dedicated service to the Camden Catholic community Mary’s years as President combined with several as Director of Advancement as well as Director of Admissions brings her tenure to 18 years in what she calls her “passion for the mission of the school ” Her astute leadership as an organizer, innovator, liaison between students and staff, and fundraiser extraordinaire is only one dimension of her. The other facet is the genuine interest she takes in the day-to-day happenings in the halls, the gym, the fields, and the auditorium Junior Gianna Giegrich notes how “Mrs Whipkey loves the musicals and even attends many

rehearsals ” What impresses Gianna most is how much “Mrs Whipkey supports each actor on a personal level. She looks for us as we come off the stage after a show You can ’ t believe what an impact that makes ” On any given day, Gianna and other students say, Mrs Whipkey will “smile when she sees you, make eye contact, say Good Morning.” It is obvious that Mary shepherds as well as leads

Monsignor Andrew Martin, President Emeritus, expresses gratitude for so many of Mary’s contributions, not only her commitment to and passion for the performing arts program, which he shares, but also her tireless efforts to improve Camden Catholic in myriad ways. She has endeavored and succeeded in updating curriculum, integrating technology, increasing enrollment, and

challenging students and teachers to be better One of Mary’s major and enduring accomplishments is acquiring major gifts from donors that keep Camden Catholic on the cutting edge of improvement and most importantly, he says, “closes the gap between tuition and per pupil cost of education ” One powerful example, Monsignor notes, is Mary’s achievement in the organization of an Annual Fund Campaign, including significant scholarship commitments In total, the bottom line has grown from less than two hundred thousand dollars per year to over 1 5 million. In addition, her creations of Irish Giving Day and the CCHS Hall of Fame are invaluable and memorable traditions that have become mainstays for the school

Not a newcomer to leadership roles, Mary worked

in pharmaceutical sales for 14 years and before that taught math and science for four years She says she never planned to be the school’s president but after filling the need as interim president for a nine month period in 2013, she applied for the position Having been in the role, she knew the ropes, knew what had to be done and was confident that she could do the job Most of all, she says, she wanted to “stand up for what was best for Camden Catholic ” Through the years, led by Mother Catherine McAuley’s values of faith, hard work, dedication, and humility, Mary Whipkey has been standing up for what is best for CCHS Principal Heather Crisci says, “Mary has always had a clear vision for the future of Camden Catholic, framing every decision by keeping in mind what’s best for the teachers, the students, and the school ”

As President of a Catholic school, Mary demonstrates that her faith is woven into the fabric of her work day. She has stood on the stage in the auditorium during Lenten and Advent services and professed, via down-to-earth stories, how her faith sustained her through personal challenges Students and staff who are fellow parishioners at St. Joan of Arc Church in Marlton worship with her outside of school Moreover, Mary’s faith-inaction is evident as she leads by example

Kayleigh Bianchini, alumna of the class of 2015, and now Associate Director of Alumni Relations, has been inspired by Mary’s example of leadership for many years Kayleigh says that one of the most important skills she learned from Mary, namely comportment in difficult moments, she learned by watching the woman who became President of Camden Catholic when Kayleigh was a sophomore Kayleigh credits membership in The Green and White Society, led by Mary at the time, for teaching her business lessons and life lessons Kayleigh notes many unique attributes she sees in Mary, some from her student days and some now as she is Mary’s colleague “She is such a wellrounded supporter of Camden Catholic, going to a great number of sporting events as well as all the arts, academic and co-curricular activities ” Kayleigh says she is impressed with how Mary has always worked humbly to become an even better leader with every challenge, and how she is always willing to assist When things get hectic in the Admissions, Advancement & Marketing Office, Kayleigh says, Mary rolls up her sleeves and asks What can I do to help? “She is truly a servantleader,” says Kayleigh, “Her example of leadership and her commitment to improving the world around her has inspired me to take up the mantle and water the seeds that she has planted ”

If the exhortation to “be shining lamps” began with Camden Catholic’s female founders, it has

become Mary’s injunction as well “It is a phrase I use over and over again,” she says, “ I truly believe it is a call to action ” Mary acknowledges the importance of her leadership role; at the same time

she embraces the humility taught by The Sisters of Mercy She was genuinely astonished when she was told by several alumnae that they were inspired to be leaders because as teenagers they saw her in such

a significant leadership position, the first woman president of their high school “Humility is necessary and powerful,” Mary says, as she names Sister Pat Kenny, former CCHS English faculty member, who was a humble but extraordinarily effective leader, as her own female role model Gianna Giegerich ‘24 says she has garnered advice from Mary, whom she refers to as her mentor, that will sustain her beyond high school “I have already taken her tips and tricks about what it means to be a leader in business. She’s taught me the power of the written word, how much impact a simple thank you note can have She is a woman of great knowledge and wisdom,” says Gianna, “ someone you can continue to learn from ” Perhaps another young woman, Mary’s granddaughter Taylor Ridgeway, age ten, says it best: “Watching my Tootsie be President of Camden Catholic has inspired me to never give up and to always be myself ” Mary Whipkey may not be behind the President’s desk in September but surely she will be shining a light to guide other young women on their individual paths.

CAMILLE POTILLO, class of 2018 is a leader in so many ways She is currently in the middle of a year-long commitment to Literacy Americorps, where she serves approximately 70 high schoolers in Palm Beach County, Florida, as a graduation coach under the division called Take Stock in Children She meets with students monthly to guide them through SAT prep, college applications, and other activities to help them keep their eyes on their long-term goals When she’s not directly advising and assisting students, she is engaged in any number of other service projects from stocking a library to picking peppers or painting a house. “It is without a doubt that Camden Catholic played a role in shaping my personal ethics,” says Camille “I learned that life would never live up to [my] expectations without hard work and dedication ” She attributes her success in reaching her goals to “prioritizing faith and humility ” Such emphasis, she says, teaches

you to “foster genuine connections with others, acknowledge and accept your shortcomings, and trust the path that has been made for you ”

When her year with Americorps is up, Camille plans to pursue a career as a Mental Performance Coach. Ultimately, she wants to “help college athletes overcome obstacles, deal with setbacks and mental barriers ” She says she has learned a lot about self-advocacy while playing Division I Lacrosse in college and from high school influences as well: “I truly believe that my mindset and growth as a woman come from the constant support and encouragement of my high school lacrosse coaches I learned not to shy away from [anything] for fear of failure or what others may think or say; confidence and undeniable belief in yourself and your abilities can take you to great places ” That is a mindset certain to enhance the leadership skills Camille Potillo is so willing to share

Of all the accolades showered on star field hockey player OLIVIA BENT-COLE, class of 2023, and there are many, beginning with praise for her

worldwide successes, which include the 2019 Silver Croatia Cup, 2022 Uniphar Five-Nations Tournament, FIH Pro League player for several

consecutive years, the 2023 USA Today High School Player of the Year, the Junior Pan American Championship in 2023, as well as playing on Junior National Teams for four years, and this year being selected for the U S Senior Women’s Team, she seems proudest of using her talents and accomplishments to positively influence younger players, especially girls. Liv knows she can be a model for young people, in particular people of color Whether it is assisting younger kids who want to play on a varsity team, or go to a Division I school, or make it to the Nationals, she understands her impact: “I want them to know they don’t have to look a certain way to achieve their dreams ” She has been offering that advice along with her athletic expertise to younger players at the community field in her hometown of Mt. Laurel, where she started playing field hockey at age seven

As her years at CCHS come to a close, Liv names President Mary Whipkey and Principal Heather Crisci as influences on her drive, work ethic and development of leadership skills “Mrs Whipkey and Mrs Crisci have taught me so many life lessons and have supported me so much throughout these years, ” she says After high school graduation, she will train with the USA National team in August and then on to Northwestern University as a striker She has already accomplished so much athletically and has so much ahead of her Toward that end, she says, “I know I have to hold myself to a higher standard and be smart with decisions ” That sounds like an extraordinary leader in the making

A PhD student in Drexel University’s Biomedical Sciences’ Microbiology and Immunology Program, MARY MARINO, class of 2018, feels lucky to have found bacterial pathogenesis and infectious diseases early in life – seriously! Perhaps her interest wasn ’ t that specific from the start, but the field of science definitely was Now her end goal is eradicating, or at least knowing the best way to combat, certain diseases, but she stays fascinated by the daily work at hand, even when it seems routine She has dedicated herself to five years of postgraduate research and laboratory work. When asked how she came to such a remarkable endeavor, humility is implicit in her answer: “It was a group effort ” Mary counts her Biology 101 professor at St Joseph’s University who led her to research in microbiology Then Mary reaches even further back to include in her support network Camden Catholic High School friends who have helped her along the way and still check in with her from time to time Those friends, her family, and her CCHS teachers, she says, gave her no doubt that advanced science was something she could do. She notes that at Camden Catholic all her science teachers were women who, she says, “made me feel that I could do anything ” Considering Camden Catholic students, Mary says, “What I’ve seen other [female alums] do postgraduation, including my grandmother, a 1950 graduate, my younger sister, and my high school friends is just amazing They are some of the smartest people I know ”

Environmental naturalist, radio DJ, grad school student working on an MBA, and an assistant coach on Fairleigh Dickinson University Metropolitan Women’s Lacrosse Team, a sports program she helped start during its inaugural 2022-2023 season, SAIGE-LYN GIDZINSKI, class of 2018, wears a lot of hats, holding on valiantly to them all in her whirlwind of travel from cities to various shore towns up and down the Jersey coast

In every one of her positions, Saige abides by what she humbly says is her purpose, “ to give back by educating the public ” Educate she does in her work as a seasonal supervisor at Island Beach State Park (where she started as a volunteer while still in high school), in her volunteer research work at the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine, in her coaching of the FDU Knights, even in her two deejay gigs at WFDU-NY When asked about the extra efforts that women need to put forth to make

their mark, especially in marine biology and in the sciences in general, Saige attributes her success in part to her “ great female bosses” and her belief to simply “work hard and good things will come. ”

Having transferred from Shamong Township public schools to Camden Catholic, she says this about the transition: “Camden Catholic helped me to become multi-faceted It helped me find my identity and to know that anything is possible no matter the gender, race, or beliefs ” Saige credits the Leadership program at CCHS with teaching her the necessary leadership skills that make up a great leader, which she still uses today In addition, she says, “ at CCHS, I had many different leadership opportunities to test out what I was taught through my participation in sports, in student government, in the classroom Being able to grow as a leader first hand [in high school], helped me thrive as a leader in college athletics and in my profession ”

KAYLA RODRIGUEZ, class of 2015, is in a leadership role that brings the shining lamp that the Sisters of Mercy called for to a very special, if vulnerable, population: junior high and high school students In fact, Kayla’s goal as Mentor and Community Outreach Coordinator for Rutgers Future Scholars is to pass on leadership skills to young people The curriculum she develops for seventh through twelfth graders gives them direction for networking, social and emotional learning, and college readiness Her work is part of the College Access Program for the Camden City

School District As a coordinator, Kayla imbues young people with a mindset that puts them on the path to leadership positions, starting with the capability to move themselves forward Students in the program are committed to five years of guidance under the program ’ s protocol Kayla understands the difficulties that kids coming from some Camden neighborhoods face, but she says that she “wanted to change that narrative.” About her own experience she says, “education was my outlet and I want to share that opportunity with others ” She concedes that “nothing comes easy, but if you put your mind to something, you can and will achieve your dreams She counts her faith as the most important

inspiration for moving herself forward, saying, “I am extremely grateful to be where I am today and I give all glory to God.”

Reaching over 250 Rutgers Future Scholars annually, the program looks to prepare those students for college and beyond Kayla notes her own identity as a first-generation college graduate, saying, “it is super important to me, my family, and future generations to come ” When it comes to fostering a sense of initiative and confidence to lead, Kayla says this to the young people in her charge: “Be the person you needed when you were younger ” It seems Kayla Rodriguez’s charges couldn’t ask for a better role model

MICHELLE OBASI, class of 2014, now a public health professional at Community Behavioral Health in Philadelphia, says her first leadership role came as a captain on the CCHS basketball team her senior year, where she learned the importance of her own voice. “This opened the door for me to move on to be a basketball captain for three years in college,” she says, emphasizing that leadership savvy and the confidence to share her opinion would become second nature, and “ a powerful skill in the public health arena. ” As a Grant Support Specialist, Michelle recently helped secure funding from the Office of Women’s Health of the Department of Health and Human Services to develop an app that provides aid to pregnant women and new mothers who are dealing with substance abuse disorder The app gives women in need access to aid, including counseling by certified recovery specialists

Knowing something about stress and loss, Michele recalls losing her father a week after graduating from Camden Catholic, which she says was “life changing in and of itself but then having to start

college during that grieving process was a journey itself, too Leaning on my CCHS supports teammates, friends, and coaches definitely kept me going during the early days of that experience ”

Faith, also, she says is what got her through, and “knowing that the strife isn't eternal and eventually things get better ”

Michelle is a woman on a mission who has great hopes for the innovative approach to the kind of care that her profession provides, as her passions include “narrowing health disparities when it comes to Black maternal health ” Beyond that her focus is wide-ranging, including efforts that address “urban health food apartheid, and advancing equity ” Reflecting on how the attributes of the Mercy Sisters impact being a leader, Michelle says, “ In the field I am in, working with such vulnerable populations and dealing with social determinants of health, it is important for me to stress the importance of humility because no one is so far removed from experiencing those same health inequities. Whether it is homelessness, addiction, maternal mortality or food apartheid, it is important for me to fight and bring light to these issues simply because it is morally right, and all are preventable!”

Although SR MARY LAUREN ADDERLY, class of 2008, has been working in the Archdiocese of Detroit, Michigan, as a Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity sister and elementary school teacher for four years, she says she “still feels very new, though not the newest or the youngest on the staff,” as she advocates for her students, because “what they need won ’ t happen if someone isn’t pushing for them ” Sr Lauren, though of a quiet demeanor, has never shied away from challenges requiring her to be a leader Undergraduate studies

at Villanova had her moving “full steam ahead” in the area of biogenetics, but all the while she had an inkling toward the kind of ministry to which she is now committed She says that her high school experience at Camden Catholic played a big role in moving her toward that goal She recalls that even in high school she felt drawn to religious life because of the influence of youth ministry, the retreats, volunteerism, and Sr Dorothy, her religion teacher

After college, Sr Lauren volunteered at a Catholic

Worker shelter in Houston, Texas, for immigrants coming across the border; when she was “in formation” for SOLT, her order, she spent a few months in Belize, and time at mission churches on a reservation in North Dakota as well as in the city of Seattle, before her current assignment in Southwest Detroit, where she is a third grade teacher, an urban gardener, and an assistant in myriad community needs She concedes that her course has had its trials and remembers some guidance coming from Camden Catholic: “As I’ve also struggled a bit to find the confidence to step into new roles and find my place professionally and in my religious community, I am very grateful that CCHS taught me to not be afraid of hard work, how to ask questions, how to rely on the wisdom of others who are more experienced than me, and how to communicate my ideas clearly. My teachers and mentors in high school helped me find my voice and the confidence to use it ” Mother Catherine McAuley would be proud

REBECCA KIELY, class of 2008, no doubt learned the adage that charity begins at home and she has taken that lesson to new heights in her work as a vice president at CCS Fundraising, an international consulting firm whose mission it is to help nonprofits around the world maximize philanthropic impact Her company serves institutions such as schools, universities, churches, and synagogues; arts organizations such as theaters, symphony orchestras and museums; as well as foundations and humanitarian nonprofits Working with her midwest team, Becky, now five years in her VP position, guides clients in building and maintaining relationships that bring purpose and inspiration to the efforts of philanthropy.

With a BA from Georgetown and a newly-minted MBA from Loyola University Chicago’s Quinlan School of Business, specifically from the highly selective Baumhart Scholar program, Becky sees her personal ambition focused on social impact She is a business woman responsible for achieving the company ’ s set goals, and her leadership style, one that embraces collaboration and compassion, has made her successful “My career in philanthropy centers on relationship management

with nonprofit organizations, business leaders, and community volunteers. My job is to meet people where they are and communicate in a way that shows compassion and compels them to act ” Though a great deal of learning and life experience have transpired since high school graduation, Becky does feel that many of her leadership strategies have their roots in her high school experience. “At Camden Catholic, women leaders seemed to be everywhere - teachers, coaches, students, club moderators I remember the school

celebrating their roles, their successes, and their effect on students I think I grew up feeling (maybe even taking for granted) that leadership opportunities and making an impact were earnable and expected, for me and other women. ”

A close connection between what she learned in high school and what she does now, she says, comes from “the relationships, the work ethic, and service-oriented values that started forming during my time at Camden Catholic CCHS teachers pushed me to do my personal best, write another draft, think more creatively, relate with more empathy. They helped me develop competency alongside curiosity I’m certainly still figuring out how to express those values at each turn of my career and life but am grateful to have them as a foundation.”

Becky remembers strong female friendships among teammates and classmates, whose diverse talents and interests still inspire her today. “Those relationships fostered my understanding that there are many definitions of leadership – at school, at work, with family Those communities of women shaped my mentality about what I could do and supported my confidence to lead.”

In April of 2022, STACEY GORIN, ESQ., CCHS class of 2006, was named “Young Lawyer of the Year” a prestigious accolade granted annually by the New Jersey State Bar Association It’s true that she is still a young lawyer, but she was a lot younger when she was first introduced to her chosen profession And it was the influence of strong women in leadership roles– at least as far as law is concerned– that first impressed Stacey when she was in third grade at Holy Rosary Catholic Grade School Led by a fellow student’s mom, who was herself an attorney, Stacey and some other students participated in a Moot Court Competition in front of a judge Stacey was smitten with the legal profession, and twenty years later she would meet that same judge when was sworn in as an attorney Of course she showed him the photograph of her eight-year-old

No one could call MARTHA GUARNIERI, class of 2006, a quitter. As an associate attorney with the Philadelphia firm Handley Farah & Anderson, she goes to bat for people who have been harmed by corporate misconduct and government abuse, workers who have been denied fair wages, and vulnerable populations who have been subject to discrimination, Martha is a committed long-distance runner in the field of law. But, she says, in a weird way her high school alma mater taught her how to quit “There were so many different extra curricular activities to

to be independent and to follow her curiosity. That independence and inquisitiveness has served Gia well as she continues to serve others in her farreaching and essential enterprise as a research fellow at NIMH, working in the Child Development Lab at the University of Maryland. Her work, which focuses on child psychopathology, explores how mother-child communication plays a role in shyness, fear, and anxiety in the developing brain of a child

Gia’s excitement about her work is palpable when she talks, though she says it is not exactly what she thought she would be doing when she left high school She started college as a political science major at The Catholic University of America but was more captivated by her psychology and

self with him, and that photograph hangs in her office at Capehart Scatchard next to her “Young Lawyer of the Year” award

Though interested from an early age, Stacey says her path to becoming a lawyer was “ a bit of a zig-zag ” Instead of going to law school directly from college, she worked at a law firm to see if it was something she would really like before investing in the hefty law school tuition It was a wise decision for which Stacey credits another strong, influential woman: her mother “It was all my mom, and it was great advice for me ” When she thinks about those other women mentors, the Mercy Sisters, Stacey relates to their faith dimension. She says she feels that perhaps there was some “Divine intervention, something to the notion that God has a plan ” She thinks she’s not alone in the belief that Camden Catholic set her up

try out, ” she says She acknowledges that many young students don’t know what they like or what they are capable of, and says, “Camden Catholic taught me that it was okay to quit things that weren ’ t working and try something else ” And she notes the community support that Camden Catholic offered helped her thrive when she found a home in a sport or activity From this she says she learned to pivot and applied that skill to her work in the world beyond high school

The value of hard work is another lesson CCHS instilled in her early on “I attribute my

bioscience classes than her political science courses. She easily made the switch, and as she pursued the new path through college she felt a sense of female empowerment through psychology professors, who were all female, and who “lifted each other up ” Academia can be cutthroat, Gia allows, but she found significant encouragement from a woman lab advisor who, she says emphatically, “ really listened ” She credits professors, male and female, with both challenging and emboldening her, but she recognizes that Camden Catholic gave her “ a strong foundation in not being afraid to express [herself] and not worrying if someone else didn’t see things in exactly the same way ” Looking back, she says, her CCHS teachers, men and women, “ were nothing but encouraging ”

for success with a particular approach: “We all have this foundation from CCHS We understand that we will be challenged and are not afraid to ask for help ”

work ethic to my time at Camden Catholic,” says Martha. “It was as simple as work super hard, learn how to study ” How much one prepares, she indicates, is directly related to how successful one will be Beyond the classroom, Martha remembers the influence of female teachers who led clubs and female coaches who led by example.

It seems that Martha Guarnieri is now an influencer herself. A political science major as an undergrad at Rutgers with a minor in gender studies and labor studies, she was a political organizer for the Get Out the Vote Campaign She joined a progressive group with the New Brunswick City Council. Such social justice activism, she says, is part of a thread that she took hold of in high school, one she continues to weave into the tapestry that is her profession

GIA CARUSONE, class of 2018, recalls that as a student at Camden Catholic she was encouraged

ASHLEY CARUSO-CONDON, class of 2004, operates a multi-faceted funeral business, which comprises four facets: two funeral homes, one in Pennsauken and one in Camden, as well as Penn Jersey Cremation Solutions and South Jersey Funeral Associates It is clear that Ashley is a takecharge woman but she is one who values, above all else, her role as a nurturing and sympathetic listener. Both those sides of herself, the selfconfident business woman and the empathetic sounding board for both employees and the bereaved families she serves, had their

developmental start on the stage in the Grandi Auditorium at Camden Catholic High School Ashley recalls the theater direction of Joe Farina, who “treated [student actors] as professionals, like adults ” The skills and self-assurance Farina and other teachers cultivated in Ashley spurred her to pursue a bachelor’s degree in communications from Rider University From there she went on to work in sports and media marketing with radio stations WMMR, WPEN, and ESPN While she was successful in a field once dominated by men, and she liked the jobs, she says, she “felt something was missing,” and that the ethics she gleaned from the CCHS motto of Honor, Faith, and Loyalty made her want something more

After receiving her funeral service certification from Mercer County College and her NJ funeral director’s license in 2011, Ashley returned home to her family’s business, which is “ a ministry, a calling,” albeit a demanding one She acknowledges that historically “ women have had a hard time earning respect ” in the funeral industry Yet women have so much to offer the field. Women offer a personal touch “We can do it all,” she says And by “all” she means juggling the various business iterations, including the financial

aspect, the creative marketing dimension, and the follow-up with families who have lost loved ones so they don’t feel abandoned after the basic funeral services are complete As a certified funeral celebrant who writes eulogies and leads services, Ashley is committed to giving grieving people the compassion they need in their most vulnerable moments

The people served by Falco, Caruso & Leonard Funeral Home are multifarious, and Ashley feels that Camden Catholic had a hand in preparing her to serve people of many different ethnic and religious backgrounds. The diversity of the student population grounded her in understanding different kinds of people, not just Catholics She remembers “Camden Catholic being welcoming to everybody,” and that many of her female teachers were especially empathetic. The “ we can do it all” belief that Ashley embraces and the emphasis she puts on nurturing extends to her life beyond the business world She is the mother of two special needs children, volunteers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and is a Big Sister Mentor For Ashley Caruso-Condon leading the way sometimes means walking beside someone, perhaps even holding their hand

When KATE MUEHLHAUSER SCULLY graduated from Camden Catholic in 1997 and headed for Moore College of Art and Design, she was pursuing interior design, one of two creative interests she had harbored since childhood For a number of years she did the work of leading people in decor and design choices that would bring comfort, joy and personality to their surroundings. All the while she hung on to a second, extraordinarily different, career interest, criminal justice And so before she became too settled in one passion, she decided to take her life in a different direction

She began by working in the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office in the clerical unit and then as an agent, before academy training at the Division of Criminal Justice to become a detective, where her work is just as colorful as designing homes and offices, but involves the darker hues of criminal investigation

Kate’s art education, especially her study of computer graphics, in fact, had her working as a sketch artist in the years when that medium was used in investigations Now her expertise is in digital forensic mobile extractions, where as part of the High Tech Crimes Unit she is trained and supplied with the tools to retrieve pertinent digital evidence from cell phones or computers involving crimes from theft to homicide

As a mother of two, Kate finds the work stressful but rewarding Whether issuing search warrants, serving subpoenas, redacting and enhancing video or rebuilding cellular devices in search of details of evidentiary value, “everyday is different,” she says, “which makes it always interesting.”

For women working in a male-dominated field, as law enforcement traditionally has been, Kate agrees that “like any place it can be a challenge ” In her particular milieu, though, she sees workplace customs and requirements that are not governed by gender How people work together in the Prosecutor’s Office “ is more about the individual,” she says, “because you have to have a bond of trust

with the person you are out in the field with ” As far as promotions and assignments one is eligible for, she confirms that “it’s all on your work ethic.” If she struggles at all in her chosen profession it is with “being away from [her] children and family, whether it’s long days on a job or several nights away for training” she says She makes it work and toward that end, adds this: “Catholic education gave me an understanding [that] the sacrifices I make are a powerful way to grow in life.” Kate feels that the work ethic and other values she possesses as a professional were instilled in her in high school, saying, “I learned through my experience at Camden Catholic that what matters in life is helping others and having solid relationships My superior’s high expectations for me now are very similar to those my high school teachers had for me Catholic school really did help shape me into the person I am today ”

Who knows if the Sisters of Mercy could have predicted where the attributes they held dear would lead women well into the twenty-first century. The legacy they left seems to have taken hold in so many alumni of the high school they established Old-fashioned as they sound, the values of faith, dedication, hard work and humility continue to be sturdy guideposts for now and in the future.

IRISH ATHLETICS

Highlights & Happenings

IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY

IRISH FIELD HOCKEY CELEBRATED ACROSS THE USA

Not only did the Camden Catholic Field Hockey team bring home the first title for the program in 38 years, but they ended this incredible ride being named the top high school field hockey program in the nation! The team’s success was due to the incredible talent and teamwork of the dedicated senior class, with a supporting cast of almost 40 underclassmen. Head coach Mark Vittese continues his successful leadership of the team, with a solid group of assistants to keep one of our school’s largest athletic programs organized, motivated, and victorious. The 2022 squad ended the season with a 21-1 record, culminating in their 2-1 victory in the title game vs. Oak Knoll.

REMEMBERING CIRÉ

Not only was the Irish Field Hockey State Title celebrated amongst the entire school community, but there was a special family connection within the program Assistant Coach and alumna Nancy (Wright) Connolly ‘86 was a member of the first field hockey state championship team in 1985 and was lucky enough to share this second state title with her daughter Jackie, a senior on this year ’ s team! Nancy’s oldest daughter Kelli ‘16 was also an Irish Field Hockey alumna who went on to compete at the Division I level for Saint Francis University Jackie is attending Neumann University and will play for the Knights The Connolly women are pictured at this year ’ s graduation with Nancy’s original State Championship ‘85 varsity jacket

Congratulations to the entire Irish Field Hockey program!

In January Irish Girls Basketball honored the incredible life and legacy of former coach and player Ciré Forman ‘21, who was tragically killed in an automobile accident last summer The team retired her jersey in a moving pre-game ceremony with family, f r i e n d s a n d f o r m e r t e a m m a t e s i n attendance, and announced a scholarship in Ciré’s name The team is also supporting the family’s efforts as they launched the Ciré A Forman All 4 Sports Foundation in

she spoke often about her desire to establish a foundation and a league in which all children could participate ”

WRESTLING REAPS THE REWARDS

PRAYER ALWAYS COMES FIRST

November 2022 So far, the foundation has paid the travel expenses for a women ’ s football player, funding swimming lessons for children from single-parent homes, and hosted a youth basketball clinic. The foundation’s goal is to increase youth participation in sports and to provide opportunities to those with varied abilities, as well as those with social and economic barriers, to enjoy sports “This was very important to Ciré,” her family shares, “and

Not many expected the Irish Wrestling team to compete for a state title this year, but the team worked all season to prove the doubters wrong to bring home their 18th State Championship in a come-from-behind victory over St John Vianney The team was hailed as the Olympic Conference Team of the Year, Jackson Young ‘24 named Wrestler of the Year and Coach Bill Heverly being named Coach of the Year. In addition, seven Irish wrestlers earned a trip to the individual state tournament in Atlantic City: Jackson Young ‘24, Wayne Rold ‘23, Lazarus Joyce ‘26, Dominic DiGiacomo ‘25, Sammy Spaulding ‘26, Kage Jones ‘26, Michael Craft ‘26 and Austin Craft ‘24

As a tenant of our Catholic identity, and as a member of the Catholic Athletes for Christ program, each of our teams prays before competing “It centers our student-athletes, helps to quiet their minds before stepping into the match, and it reminds each of us of our calling to be a true disciple of Christ, no matter where we are or what we are doing,” shares Director of Athletics, Mr Sam Hardy

Camden Catholic AP Capstone Students Want to Know!

College board, students in this course build on what they have learned in AP Seminar as they deeply explore an academic topic, problem, or issue of individual interest. Through this exploration, the students design, plan, and conduct a year-long research-based investigation to address a research question. Essentially, the students must discover a Gap in the current research and design a study that attempts to explain that Gap. Students are scored on a 5,000-word paper, as well as a twenty-minute oral presentation and defense of their study Perhaps the use of the word, “intense” falls short of the amount of work that these students undertook in this program

It is early in the morning on July 5, 2023, and nervous AP students and teachers are awaiting the news that they have been anticipating since they took the AP exams in May, or submitted their papers, presentations, and portfolios to the College Board. As this article is being written, the various AP course scores are being delivered to the inboxes of students, parents, and teachers alike, across the country, and the anticipation is intense For the CCHS community, this year marks an exceptionally important, and suspense-induced list of scores; the AP Research scores report

In September of 2021, Camden Catholic students began participating in a two-year program entitled, AP Capstone The AP Capstone program challenges students to develop essential research skills that they will implement, not only in their various high school courses, but in their college and postgraduate education, as well. Students in the AP Capstone program earn college credit, and become self-actualized, independent thinkers and problem solvers In other words, they possess the skills that are most desired by prospective employers in all areas of endeavor

The first part of the program is the AP Seminar course, through which the students develop critical thinking, collaboration, and academic research skills on topics of their choosing The second part of the program is the AP Research course According to the

Sofia Granieri, a 2023 graduate who participated in the course, studying anemia in high school girls, had this to say about her participation in the course: “AP Research has been one of the most-- if not the most-- beneficial classes I've taken at Camden Catholic Initially, as a student in the first AP Research course offered at CCHS, I did not really know what I was getting myself into, but I am beyond happy I took this class It prepared me not only for college level research, but for writing long essays, learning how to reach out to adults and authority figures, and enhancing professional level presentation skills This class has been the most beneficial class in preparing me for college and I would recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to take it!”

Jack Baloney’23 who based his research study on the use of sabermetrics in vetting professional baseball players, stated, “My time in AP Research has helped develop me into a much better researcher and student Doing college level research, as a senior, has well prepared me for any assignment I get in the future and has familiarized me with the process of writing an in-depth research paper. I was deeply invested in my topic, and I was glad that I got to choose a topic that I was passionate about.”

Fortunately, the scores were sent to the students and teachers right on time and the AP Research student’s diligence, dedication, and initiative clearly paid off All of the participating seniors received qualifying scores for their research studies! The student’s scores also placed them above the New Jersey and the National mean scores. The AP Seminar course doubled in size this past school year, and those students are already spending time this summer investigating research study topics in anticipation of the AP Research course they are taking in the 2023-24 school year Clearly, Camden Catholic students want to know how they score in the AP courses in which they participate, however, and even more importantly, they want to learn

Pilarz Scholars Program: Inspired by the Life & Leadership of Father Scott Pilarz ‘76

exercise was that there was no wrong answer; everyone picked qualities that were uniquely important to their own leadership style. We learned a very important message that day: no leader needs to have a determined set of skills, but instead brings unique qualities to the table that they use to be successful.

CCHS prides itself on its excellent education for its students From math to history, Camden Catholic’s teachers cover everything we need to know while challenging us to think outside the box and work diligently However, CCHS also understands that some subjects cannot be taught in traditional classes This was why Pilarz Scholars was created Named after Reverend Scott R Pilarz, Pilarz Scholars is a program for advanced students at CCHS that focuses on teaching effective leadership methods and other “real life” skills, such as communication, planning, and teamwork

As a student in the Pilarz Scholars, I can attest firsthand how beneficial this program is for myself and other kids like me One of the things I liked best about the program was that it connected me and other students on the same academic level I am involved in all honors and advanced placement courses at school, and it can be difficult to relate to other students about class and schoolwork However, since the Pilarz program comprises other students in honors and AP classes, it created a community within our group It gave us a space to talk about our shared classes, teachers, and homework assignments, and just get to know each other and become friends. We would sometimes discuss current events or innovative ideas to improve the school. Through the Pilarz Program, I’ve met my closest friends.

This year in Pilarz, we focused heavily on leadership We were fortunate to have our former President Mrs Whipkey, and Principal Mrs Crisci as our mentors In one of our first classes this year, we had an exercise where each student picked out the five most important qualities of a leader and then had to explain why they were significant. The key to this

Additionally, learning how to work with others who have different skill sets was a topic we focused on For the second half of the year, my fellow students and I were assigned a group project to plan a field trip for our class to a location that answered the question, “Why should every American stand in this place?”. Once the deadline rolled around, we would present our projects in front of a panel of judges and go on the trip that won. This project was probably one of the most difficult I’d ever had and I’m sure my friends felt the same way We had to plan out an itinerary, a

attempts at contact. Yet, pushing us outside of our comfort zones was what allowed us to grow. I had to be diligent and think creatively to get my project done, and in doing so, I learned so many skills I will now be able to utilize throughout my life Another aspect of this project was working in a group. Most students seem to either hate or love group projects (I, for one, loathe them), but being a part of my group helped me build my collaboration skills, a vital attribute for leaders Although, at the risk of sounding juvenile, I do have to say the best part of this project was the field trip For students like myself who spent so much time working hard and giving 110%, an opportunity to have fun with our friends while still learning something was just what we all needed

The Pilarz Scholars program has added to my experience at Camden Catholic immensely, and

budget, and organize bussing, all things that we had no experience doing as teenagers. I know that the most difficult issue I faced was that neither the bussing company nor the museum wanted to answer any of my

I am so grateful for all I have learned as a part of the course, from my mentors, and from my friends I know my school cares about my success and is giving me the tools to become a great leader in whatever I do

Grace Martin is a junior at Camden Catholic High School. In addition to being a Pilarz Scholar, she is a member of the award-winning CCHS Shakespeare Troupe, an avid performer in each CCHS play and musical, and was recently awarded runner up in the 2023 Seton Hall University Catholic Studies "Young Catholics and the 10th Anniversary of the Papacy of Francis" Essay Contest with her essay being published in Arcadia: The Catholic Studies Student Scholarly Journal, which is indexed in the libraries of Colleges and Universities across the United States

Pilarz Scholars is named in honor of the rich and faithful legacy of alumnus Scott Pilarz, a Jesuit brother, educator, Catholic school leader and friend, the Reverend Scott R. Pilarz, S.J. ‘77 Scholars Program serves to develop a community of faith-filled scholars who participate in an integrated program of leadership training, academic work and service. Throughout his life, Scott inspired others with the credo: “Don’t waste love.” Pilarz Scholars, and all CCHS students are implored to be inspired through learning, to inspire others through your faith, and to not waste love

● Kaelyn Jackson '25 will explore civil engineering by designing a building--currently, a dream beach house though that may change--in AutoCAD and then use the laser cutter to cut chipboard or wood and assemble a 3D model of it.

● The CCHS Robotics Team will design custom claws using the CNC machine that will give access to a whole other dimension of design and hopefully a competitive edge that will get us to States and World's.

Give the Gift of Camden Catholic This Holiday Season

Taj Dargan ‘17 shares her thanks for receiving tuition support:

Receiving a Flaherty Family Foundation scholarship in 2017 was literally the start of my educational potential. It allowed me to attend CCHS, which later opened doors that I couldn’t even imagine were destined for me Such as attending one of the top HBCUs in the nation, Howard University My matriculation at CCHS undoubtedly prepared me for the rigorous curriculum here at Howard and shaped me into a determined and passionate student. I currently have a 3 8 GPA and hold a couple leadership positions on campus, such as: resident assistant a Resident assistant, Mentorship Coordinator for the College of Nursing and Allied Health, and a member of the Nursing Club Without the Flaherty Family Foundation, I would not be where I am today and I am extremely grateful!

Each year an increasing number of families ask for help in order to provide their children with the Irish experience. Tuition assistance is essential to growing the Camden Catholic family, and to providing the world with innovative and merciful leaders who are formed at CCHS.

Why should you help?

● Tuition assistance is need based and determined through the completion of a FACTs application by families each year at CCHS.

● CCHS partners with families to determine their level of financial responsibility in addition to the tuition assistance they are awarded Tuition assistance is a strategic investment in a student and family

● Roughly 186 families will receive tuition assistance this year which is approximately 30% of the school, but many more families need our help.

The Shamrock Society

The Shamrock Society is our giving club for donors who contribute $1,000 or more to The Fund for Camden Catholic each year Members of this society send an outward message that they know Camden Catholic and its students are a worthy investment

Tuition Assistance

Approximately one third of our students receive some form of tuition assistance based on a standardized assessment of financial need. Your gifts help each of our families continue to choose Catholic education All recipients are chosen based upon academic performance and demonstrated financial need.

Why Tuition Assistance Matters

For years, the Sisters of Mercy were able to contribute their services to Camden Catholic High School to reduce the cost of tuition, thereby making a Catholic education affordable for families Today, the rising costs of healthcare and technology attribute to a higher cost of education, and tuition must be increased accordingly

What can I do?

• Contribute to tuition assistance and you will afford a student the opportunity to find themselves, uncover talents, grow academically and spiritually, and develop leadership skills for a 21st century world.

• Named scholarships can both support a student and honor a living individual, family, group, or memorialize a loved one
