Dear Cathedral Family,

W

elcome to the latest edition of The Cathedral Connection, which also includes the 2016-2017 Annual Report. Thank you for helping us raise over $1,000,000 last year! I cannot stress how important your continued support is to our mission, and I cannot express my gratitude deeply enough to those who have contributed.

We especially thank our alumnae and friends who helped us reach our goal through a planned gift. This year we have an ambitious goal - to reach 100 Sr. Mary Raymond Legacy Society members! If you’d like to learn more about how to include Cathedral in your estate plans, or you already have included us, please contact our Development Office. We would be happy to welcome you as a member of our Legacy Society.

Looking forward, we are enthusiastically planning our second 30 Under 30 Celebration of Cathedral’s brightest young entrepreneurs, leaders and stars. Information on how to purchase tickets, as well as more information about these amazing young individuals will be posted to our website soon.

Again we thank those of you who have made gifts to Cathedral, and I ask you to please continue to support this school we love so much.

Sincerely,

Maria Spagnuolo Principal

Alumna Mary Zhuo Ke ‘15, Studies in Iceland as Part of The GREEN Program O

ften, college students must choose between working, an internship, and study abroad. This August, through The GREEN Program, alumna Mary Zhuo Ke ‘15 was able to experience all three.

The GREEN Program works in collaboration with Reykjavik University’s Iceland School of Energy to create a curriculum based around both classroom education and industry site visits for a select group of students. Topics include sustainability, hydropower, geology, biofuels, and geothermal energy. On the experience, she shares, “Being in an environment

where you witness what you learn on a large scale takes the experience to a whole new level.”

Amidst her studies, Mary had the opportunity for once-in-a-lifetime adventures and hands-on learning.

During her stay, she planted trees on volcanic ash, visited the Golden Circle geysers, went tectonic plate snorkeling, hiked up glaciers, and camped in the mountains with her classmates.

“Ultimately, I learned that some things that are seemingly terrifying initially can turn out to be the most rewarding experiences in your entire life... Being

adventurous and courageous are qualities that create future leaders. With those qualities, think of what specific problems you want to solve rather than what field you’re going into, because the former will give you the most drive to accomplish great things.”

Mary currently attends the University of Pennsylvania, where she is majoring in Bioengineering and minoring in Sustainability and Environmental Management. She aspires to integrate her knowledge of health and the environment into sustainable problem solving.

Katalina Bustamante Named Student of Distinction Engineering. The quality of the undergraduate-level research she performed was recognized with Biomedical Engineering Research Award 2016.

We are thrilled to announce that current senior Katalina Bustamante has been named Student of Distinction by the Times Ledger. Here is a reprint of the original article, featured in the April 2017 issue.

Otto Marte, Assistant Director of CCNY STEM Institute avers, “She presented a poster summarizing her experimental results and confidently answered questions from judges. This resulted in her being honored Best Poster Presentation.”

K

atalina Bustamante, our April Student of Distinction, has a clear vision: to be the first woman in her family awarded a doctoral degree.

A first step toward realizing this vision was receiving the prestigious St. John’s University Women in Science Award, 2014. Earning acceptance, with scholarship, to her first-choice high school was the second step. Admittance into the rigorous Medical Gateways Program offered at Cathedral High School (CHS) was the third step. Medical Gateways Program is an internship opportunity for students traditionally underrepresented in medicine to explore their dreams of entering the field.

Her attendance at CHS has reaped a myriad of accomplishments, including: earning a 4.0 GPA: membership in the school’s Medical Gateways Program; placement on the Principal’s Honor Roll, 2014-2016; induction into the National Honor Society, 2016; and acceptance into Cathedral Scholars, 2014-2016, which meets weekly during which time members learn about possible careers through guest speakers. Placement in the latter three honorable groups requires maintaining a minimum 90 average, with no grade below 90.

Alice D’Orazi, Director of Medical Gateways Program, notes, “Katalina’s commitment and interest in the Sciences began in middle school and continue to this day.

She actively pursued a spot in the Rockefeller University’s Learning at the Bench Program, where members

actively engage in performing various duties with Rockefeller University lab members.”

Academic diligence is evident through her engaging in college preparatory coursework. During Spring 2015 Katalina successfully completed Algebra and Biology courses in Fordham University’s STEP program, a 12-week program dedicated to enriching minority students academically. She earned a 99% average. This superior performance resulted in her winning Fordham University Academic Achievement in Algebra Award, 2015.

Undaunted by the level of scholarship expected, Summer 2015 found Katalina enrolling in General Chemistry and Advanced Algebra through STEM Institute City College of New York (CCNY). CCNY’s STEM Institute provides six-week collegelevel programs earmarked for high-achieving minority high school students. Summer 2016 brought a new set of challenges to conquer: Calculus I and Biomedical

Laboratories are sacred grounds for Katalina. D’Orazi explains, “She is an exceptional young woman. Through Medical Gateways, she is completing an internship at CCNY’s Barabino Laboratory. Each Friday, under her mentor’s supervision, she works on developing a model for delivery of toxins to a tumor cell.”

It is not often high school students are entrusted with such an advanced level at research laboratories. Doctoral Candidate Mykel Green, however, praises Katalina’s capabilities saying, “I met her through CCNY STEM Institute summer program. Initially I was reserved about a high school student performing complex experiments that would influence my own career. Katalina’s acumen for research and eagerness to learn, however, surpassed that of some undergraduate mentees!”

Currently, Katalina is responsible for optimizing the in vitro model system used to assess the efficacy of a new cancer therapy being developed.

Green adds, “Her contribution is essential to establishing therapeutic functionality before transitioning into animal models with our collaborators at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

CHS senior Akaysha Palmer shares her work with NY Common Pantry

his summer CHS senior Akaysha Palmer interned at the New York Common Pantry, where she and 37 other students from across the city worked to provide meals to homeless and low income individuals. Akaysha and her fellow interns were selected from an original applicant pool of 1600 candidates for this opportunity.

On September 11, Akaysha was chosen as one of three presenters for the Teen Career Connection event at the West Side YMCA, to speak about her internship experience at Common Pantry. During her presentation, she explained about how the organization worked with homeless and low income people to provide meals, friendship and compassion.

On what she’s learned from her work experience, Akaysha writes, “I believe that you should always believe in yourself.

It’s important for people to persevere because minor things set you back but you can accomplish anything once you keep trying... It’s okay to go out of your comfort zone and try new things. Once you approach them positively the possibilities are endless.”

S.T.E.A.M. Students Collaborate with Sutton Place Parks

ast winter, Cathedral announced its collaboration with Sutton Place Parks Conservancy, supported

by Partnerships for Parks, to create a Native Plant and Pollinator Garden at Sutton Place Park at East 58th Street, in the neighborhood of the school.

This May, students were able to see the fruits of their labor - or rather, plant them - when the garden was completed.

Due to the difficult nature of the project – the 58th street park’s plants are affected by its proximity to the FDR– students in CHS’s AP Environmental Science and Technology Foundations classes were tasked with conducting careful planning and scientific research. Students worked long and hard, as the garden project was woven into the school’s S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) curriculum for the 2016 - 2017 academic year.

Regardless of her rigorous and full schedule, Katalina still finds time to give to the community.

She is a child life volunteer at Cohen Children’s Medical Center. At Cohen she talks and comforts young patients when parents need to briefly leave the room, and assists in dog therapy and hospital bingo, among other duties. Certified Child Life Specialist Jenna Pasqua enthuses, “Patients ask if they can spend time with Katalina

including a trip to the Native Plant Garden at the New York Botanical Garden; and took part in physically bringing their garden to life. The garden project was designed to bring the community and school together in an endeavor that will have long lasting effects on the climate and ecological system in the area.

again because they enjoy themselves so much! She displays great skill interacting with patients as well as the ability to adapt recreational activities that suit a child’s skill level and developmental needs.”

As Principal Maria Spanguolo states, “Katalina is mature beyond her years, and has developed into an exceptional young woman. Her strong personal qualities, interpersonal skills, and intellectual curiosity will undoubtedly make her a valuable addition to any future program. “ Indeed, the future looks particularly bright for having Katalina in it!

arlier this year we received a beautiful letter from the Shannon family, and with their permission, we are sharing it with you here. Edna Rasmussen Shannon graduated from Cathedral High School in 1944 and when she passed away in 2015, the Shannon’s decided to honor her love of Cathedral by making significant donations in her memory. We are touched by the generous spirit of this family, and hope it may inspire many of you to consider honoring a loved one in this way.

Maria Spagnuolo Principal Cathedral High School 350 East 56th Street New York, NY 10022 Dear Maria, Commuting from Jamaica, Queens, our mother, Edna Marie Rasmussen Shannon (CHS, 1944), arrived at Cathedral the Fall of 1940. She was the only child of a Danish immigrant father and a first-generation Danish-American mother. Both her parents worked; her dad as a carpenter and her mom as a secretary. Our mother firmly believed that her time at Cathedral changed the trajectory of her life.

She found a “family” of mentors and friends, she learned about the importance of empathy, compassion, integrity and social justice, and she developed the academic skills to succeed, not just as an adult, but also a career woman. After graduation in 1944, she attended Hunter College, earning her teaching credentials. She taught elementary school until she and our father started a family, stayed at home to raise their five children, and then returned as a classroom aide at the New York School for the Deaf (teaching herself American Sign Language along the way). Hers was a full life dedicated to family, community and service.

When our mother passed away in April 2015 and we were looking for a way to honor her memory, Cathedral was an obvious choice given its important continuing mission of providing a values-based college preparatory education to deserving young women. We were so impressed to learn that the majority of your current students are themselves immigrants or children of immigrants and that 98% of your graduates attend college. While the countries-of-origin and ethnicities of your current students have changed significantly since 1940, as you pointed out when we first met, “These young women are your mother.”

At your suggestion, in honor of our mother, we have paid these past few years the full tuition for a young woman who had arrived with her parents and three siblings from Tanzania in 2014. Now that she has graduated (and will follow our mother’s path to Hunter College as a pre-med student), it seems an appropriate time to communicate to you our deep appreciation for the work you and your colleagues are doing at Cathedral and for your thoughtful engagement with our family to honor our mother’s memory. We are pleased to let you know that you can sign us up to pay the full tuition for another student. We look forward to meeting her and following her progress through Cathedral and on to adulthood and a bright future!

Maria, please feel free to share our experience with your alumnae and their families. We suspect that many of our peers feel as we do – that they are standing on the shoulders of their parents and those who facilitated our parent’s growth in their formative years.

We certainly would encourage other families to join us in supporting Cathedral to honor their mothers and to “pay forward” the many benefits and blessings that flowed to these families from the foundational experience that their mothers received at Cathedral. Our only regret is that we did not do this when our mother was alive so she could have shared in this wonderful, affirming experience.

We wish you, your colleagues and your students much success in the year ahead.

Marta Baez ’65 Leaves a Legacy at CHS T

hroughout her professional career, Marta Baez ’65 has always remembered the attitude she learned at Cathedral: “You can do it. That was the message,” she said.

Marta grew up in Washington Heights and attended Incarnation School.

At Cathedral, the math and the science classes were always her favorite, and she found the school provided a supportive learning environment.

At Queens College, Marta earned a degree in Home Economics with a specialty in Nutrition. She became a registered dietician, and she worked in public health for 35 years.

Early in her career, she worked at Martin Luther King Health Center as a WIC Coordinator and then went on to work at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where she coordinated the breastfeeding promotion program.

Marta also worked with the New York State Department of Health to develop community-based perinatal networks, designed to address infant mortality rates. “In the early 1980s, parts of the city had infant mortality rates as bad as some underdeveloped countries,” said Marta. The project coordinated partnerships that served to identify women in need of care, to educate expectant mothers, and to work with organizations and community members. As a director, she

8

managed the Family Health Unit for the New York State Department of Health’s regional office.

Marta has also taught courses at Long Island University.

In 2000, when she was preparing to have major surgery, Marta was advised to arrange her finances as a precaution.

While she says that she had always considered making an arrangement for a planned gift to Cathedral, she suddenly had some important decisions to make.

She wasn’t sure what she would do. So, she decided that there was only one thing to do: pray.

Marta recalls that around that time the Archbishop of New York had just passed away.

While riding the bus, a woman started making conversation with Marta, and she mentioned that she had just attended the viewing for the Archbishop.

Through the course of the conversation, the woman also mentioned that she had attended Cathedral High School.

“Cathedral saved my life,” the woman told Marta. The woman shared some of the life struggles she had experienced, including drug addiction. They talked about their memories of the school.

By the time she arrived at home, Marta’s mind was made up.

“Cathedral really gives young women not only an education but also a value system to fall back on. Even in times of CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

trouble or challenges, that is what stays with you,” said Marta.

Looking at her own life’s trajectory, she says that she has been able to rely on the important life lessons learned through her Cathedral experience.

Marta’s decision to give back to Cathedral also honors her desire to support both the academic and religious missions of the school.

“I decided to give back to Cathedral because I had a very solid education.

It’s almost what I would call a classical education. That has stood me very well.

Cathedral also reinforced my mother’s values,” she said. “If you need to know a chemical number on the periodic table, you can look it up; if you need to know a formula, you can look it up; but the value system is what stays. It’s not only the right or the wrong – it is looking at life in its entirety. What is important and what really isn’t.”

Thinking about the lessons learned at Cathedral has helped her to remember to put her best foot forward.

“Mediocrity was discouraged. Those are the values that have followed me over time. You had to do the work; you had to do it neatly; and you had to really pay attention. Things mattered: the quality of the work mattered; how you looked mattered; how you presented yourself mattered. I think that, more than even the coursework, served me well later on as I progressed through my career,” said Marta.

Cathedral was an important touchstone for Marta. Her planned gift will help to provide a similarly enriching experience for Cathedral’s young women. “I gave to Cathedral because I wanted to give young women an environment in which they can excel, where they have the opportunity to be exposed to tough teachers, where they have an opportunity that they’re not going to have in other places, and where they will be able to do that in a safe environment,” said Marta.

HELP US REACH 100 MEMBERS! No matter where you live or how much time has passed, Cathedral High School will remain a family to which you will always belong.

The CHS community is built on memories, traditions, and support from alumnae such as yourself.

At CHS, young women belong, believe, and become successful leaders within their communities, with an emphasis on giving back.

There is no better time than now to leave your legacy at Cathedral, and continue to build upon the foundation set by those before you.

To recognize the importance of such special contributions, Cathedral High School has formed the Sr. Mary Raymond Legacy Society, to honor those who have included CHS in their estate plans or have otherwise made contributions to be realized after their lifetime. This year, it is our goal to enroll 100 members into our Legacy Society.

Cathedral prides itself in teaching young women to become leaders and luminaries who do not hesitate to act with compassion and do what they feel is right, just, and charitable. Help us meet our goal by becoming one of the first 100 members in our Legacy Society today.

There are several simple and easy ways join: • Make a charitable bequest: Include Cathedral High School

in your will or living trust, and receive an unlimited federal estate tax charitable deduction.

• Designate CHS as a beneficiary: Name Cathedral High School as a beneficiary to receive assets such as retirement plans and life insurance policies. This form is simple and entirely separate from your will.

• Inform us of your plan: Let the Development office know that you’ve included Cathedral in your estate plans.

Becoming a member of our Legacy Society enables you to make a gift that may not be possible now, and grant you the satisfaction of knowing your future legacy will live on. Not only is planned giving an easy way to contribute and give back to the CHS community, but it also grants you the authority and flexibility to adjust your contribution at any time. Members of the Legacy Society possess foresight and belief in the future of Cathedral High School, and help ensure that CHS will remain a unique place of opportunity for young women for generations to come.

We are so grateful for our generous alumnae, and would be honored to have you become one of the first 100 Legacy Society members, dedicated to the continued success of the CHS community. For more info, visit chslegacysociety.org.

FACULTY PROFILE:

SR. PATRICIA DEASY "I like working here because it’s a religious environment. The students learn about God and they are taught to believe in themselves because they are created by God."

As

a guidance counselor, Sr. Patricia Deasy (Sr. Pat) helps freshmen to get acclimated to their new school, and sophomores to get on track for applying to college. Last June, the Catholic Secondary School Counselors of New York City recognized Sr. Pat with the Jack Callery Award for Excellence in School Counseling in recognition of her commitment to her students’ achievement.

From helping students to select classes, to exposing them to potential career options, to introducing them to professionals in the STEM fields, she opens young women’s eyes to the range of available possibilities.

For example, Sr. Pat has developed relationships with The Cooper Union and The Rockefeller University, where students can learn more about careers in the STEM fields.

These experiences help to bolster the knowledge they gain from Cathedral’s STEM program. “STEM education is very important because these are the careers of now and the future,” said Sr. Pat. Because many of her students will be the first in their

10

families to attend college, Sr. Pat works to provide opportunities that will help to demystify the college application experience and also give students a chance to participate in activities on college campuses. She works closely with the Science and Technology Entry programs at Fordham University, John Jay College, Baruch College, and The City University of New York (CUNY), and Columbia University pre-college program, and enrolls students in enrichment classes. “We’re so fortunate because in the area there are many colleges that have excellent programs for high school students,” she said.

Another important aspect of Sr. Pat’s ministry is to refer students who are experiencing psychological difficulties to appropriate services. She provides ongoing support to them and to their families.

Sr. Pat grew up in Astoria, Queens, and earned her bachelor’s degree in English at Hunter College; a master’s degree in English at the University of Wisconsin, Madison; and a master’s degree in social work at Fordham University.

or Sr. Eileen O’Carroll responsibility, empowerment, and ownership are the keys to student success. Sr. Eileen is both a guidance counselor and a social worker, and she works with freshmen and sophomores.

“In this school you’re in charge,” she tells young women. “It’s your classroom; your test. I try to encourage students to take responsibility for their own actions.”

Getting to know each of her students is essential to Sr. Eileen. “I tell girls when they come to see me, that in my office they are not a student, they are a person; therefore, they belong to a family. They belong to a culture, and I want to know what they want to be,” said Sr. Eileen.

She keeps a map of the world in her office, which is adorned with flags indicating the heritage of her students.

Sr. Eileen’s own parents emigrated from Ireland, which she says helps her to appreciate the importance of students’ diverse cultural backgrounds.

Once she gains a better understanding of students’ backgrounds, she tries to tap into their interests. Students have a lot of stress in their daily lives and to help alleviate stress, she encourages them to get involved in the culture of the school. “I like all of my students to be in a club. I really would like them to be in sports,” she said. “They need the companionship of belonging.”

At Cathedral, creating a sense of belonging is integral to the school experience. “Our school slogan is ‘Belong. Believe. Become,’” said Sr. Eileen.

Sr. Eileen, who grew up in Rockaway

and attended Stella Maris High School, deeply understands the importance of belonging to something bigger than yourself. She entered the order of the Sisters of Good Shepard after high school. While she wasn’t initially positive that entering was her path, she found that this was the right choice for her.

She was doing illustration work and working as a draftsman, when she got encouragement from her parish priest to enter. The order is in 74 countries, and focuses on the empowerment of women and communities. The order often serves at-risk women and deals with issues such as human trafficking and empowering neighborhoods to be a support system to their residents.

Through the order, she took classes at Fordham University and graduated from the College of Saint Elizabeth in New Jersey. She earned her master’s degree in social work at Yeshiva

University.

Before joining Cathedral’s staff, Sr. Eileen ran a residence for teenage girls in Manhattan. Many of the residents had been sexually abused and had been classified as emotionally disturbed. “I learned not to feel bad for people, but to empower people.

These girls were unbelievable. They had hard lives, but they created beautiful lives. I still hear from most of them,” said Sr. Eileen. All of her young women went to college, with two becoming doctors.

When she decided to take a sabbatical, which meant she had to leave her position managing the residence, she was looking for a new opportunity.

She found her way to Cathedral, and she has been on staff for nearly 20 years.

In addition, she received a Fulbright Memorial Scholarship to study education in Japan.

She is a Holy Union Sister. She says that she was drawn to the order because of the education work the sisters did in her home parish. “Our charism is to be at the heart of the world revealing God’s love,” she said.

Sr. Pat, who is also a social worker at Cathedral, previously worked at Catholic Charities as a social worker.

Before that, she served as the principal of a grade school in East Harlem. She has been with Cathedral for 20 years.

For Sr. Pat, the high school is a great fit. “I like working here because it’s a religious environment. The students learn about God and they are taught to believe in themselves because they are created by God. The administration and the faculty are very dedicated. It’s a joy to work with them,” she said.

A former student, Mary Zhuo Ke, said, “Sr. Patricia has been a family figure for me not only throughout my time in Cathedral, but also even now, three years into university. She always knows what’s best for me, no matter how far apart we are. Back in high school, Sr. Patricia was the reason I saw beyond my limitations and had O’CARROLL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11

In addition to counseling up to 170 students, Sr. Eileen also runs the school’s Individualized Education Services Program (IESP). She works with the Board of Education, and manages the team that monitors and oversees students’ IESPs and provides support services.

Sr. Eileen has thoroughly enjoyed her Cathedral experience. One of the most rewarding aspects of her career here is helping young women to dream big.

When Sr. Eileen asks students what they want to be, they often reply that they want to be a doctor or a lawyer,

the drive to do more than I could have ever imagined. She always believed in me more than I believed in myself,” said Mary.

In addition to working with students, Sr. Pat enjoys engaging with parents.

She also enjoys working with sponsors.

“Without these sponsors, some students would not be able to afford the school. Many of the sponsors also mentor students. It touches my heart to see how generous and caring they are about a future generation,” she said.

Sr. Pat feels that community spirit extends to Cathedral’s students as well.

She recalls a meeting between a recent graduate and her former sponsor. After the meeting, the student, who is now in college and working to support her studies, told Sr. Pat that she wanted to make a contribution the school.

“She said it was very important to her to give back,” said Sr. Pat. “We try to inspire students to want to give back.”

For Sr. Pat, Cathedral is an environment that makes her feel proud. “It’s wonderful to work with dedicated students and to watch students try their best. With the parents, grandparents, and sponsors, I just feel so blessed to be surrounded by such caring people,” she said. but she finds that many of her students don’t truly understand the multitude of career options available to women. By helping students to better understand themselves, their interests, and their ambitions, she hopes to prepare them to be successful on their personal journeys -- whether the next step is college or another path.

“I want them to get a sense of their own dignity and to get a sense of who they are,” she said. “That’s why it’s important to focus on ‘who are you’ and ‘what do you want to be.’”

For Sr. Eileen, helping young women to soar has been her life’s work.

During her time at Cathedral, Bernadette was very involved. She participated in the band where she played the tuba, which--although it wasn’t her first choice of instruments--she found intriguing. One of her best high school memories includes marching in the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. She also was on the dance team and participated in dance competitions.

She most remembers the supportive learning environment. “At Cathedral, I felt like we were all sisters. Even though some of the classes were broken down into advanced classes and honors classes, I felt like no matter where you were, everyone was still a family and everyone interacted. We all had fun together; we learned together,” says Bernadette.

Bernadette was born in Guinea, West Africa, where her mother had been a doctor. While Bernadette had already imagined she wanted to be doctor, it was through Cathedral that she solidified this interest. She especially enjoyed her health classes at Cathedral, which she says inspired her. “I’m very grateful to Mrs. Greenfield. She was a sweet lady, and she motivated me to enjoy the subject and seek a career in the health field,” she says.

During high school, she had the opportunity to volunteer at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx. “It was in the back of my mind, and I kind of knew that I wanted to go into the health field because my mom was a doctor back home [in Guinea] and she’s a huge inspiration to me. Having the opportunity to actually be in the setting of a hospital made it a bit more realistic to me. I saw myself working in a hospital for the rest of my life,” says Bernadette.

With her Cathedral guidance counselor working with her, Bernadette says it was easy to map out a path to medical school. She went to college at St. Peter’s University in New Jersey, where she majored in biology and minored in Women’s Studies. Next, Bernadette went straight to medical school at St. George’s University in

Grenada. Now, in her third year, she says the experience has been hectic but also rewarding.

Most of all, Bernadette feels certain that she has chosen the right field.

She spent two years in Grenada doing her basic science courses and now she is back in New York, where she is doing her clerkship rotation at various hospitals. Bernadette feels most connected to pediatric medicine. “Actually, with the first volunteer experience I did at Cathedral High School at Lincoln Hospital, I was in the pediatric unit. I loved the kids--they were amazing, and that motivated me to want to keep up with that field,” says Bernadette.

cherish all of the years that I spent at Cathedral,” says Diana Weir ’61. “It was probably four of the best years of my life.”

to children. The town board also established a Sister City relationship between a town in Cuba and the Town of East Hampton.

For Diana, attending an all-girls school provided a supportive community. “I think it was an amazing experience to go to school with women who support each other, and where you’re not worried about rivalries or youthful adolescent kinds of things,” says Diana. “I cherish a lot of those memories in the classrooms, the laughs we had, and the trips we took. It was a very enriching experience.”

Diana, who participated in activities such as French Club, Math Club, and Glee Club, found the school environment empowering. “It was very empowering, as a woman, to not be intimidated by having boys in the class where you would be afraid to speak up or be afraid to excel,” she says. “It really gave you more power to be yourself, to speak out, and to be smart without being worried about someone not liking you because you’re smart.”

Throughout her career, Diana has excelled in a variety of exciting positions. She says that the educational foundation she received at Cathedral helped her to feel confident as she faced these new roles.

Diana was working as a bank teller when a unique opportunity unfolded.

Amongst her colleagues, Diana scored the highest on an IBM exam, which earned her a new position as an IT administrator overseeing the bank’s computer system. “Of course, all of those logic tests that I did at Cathedral High School while practicing for college came in very handy,” she says.

She rose to the level of senior vice president.

In the next phase of her career, Diana focused on affordable housing. In Brookhaven, she was the commissioner of housing and human services. Now, Diana is serving as the housing director in Southampton.

“It’s been an exciting life,” says Diana.

Looking back on her high school experience, she feels that the selfconfidence teachers instilled has served her well throughout her professional career and adult life.

Next, Diana moved to The Hamptons, where she became the senior vice president at Bank of The Hamptons.

She also made a connection through her work as President of the Republican Club in East Hampton that led her to a new career.

She helped to run a Congressional campaign for a candidate in New York’s 1st Congressional District that was successful. She moved to Washington, DC, to be the Congressman’s chief-of-staff. “I spent six years in Washington, DC, during the Gingrich Revolution,” says Diana.

“It was an amazing experience, and I got to travel all over the world.”

Diana was elected to the town board in East Hampton, where she served for four years. She was the first Hispanic woman to serve on East Hampton’s town board. As part of her service, she had the opportunity to visit Cuba with a mission that brought medical and school supplies

“As I got older, and as I saw the dynamic in the workforce, I was never afraid to speak up. I was never afraid to be smart. I was never afraid to take the bull by the horns and try to excel in the job because I was never prevented from doing that in high school,” says Diana.

“The women that I have read about in The Cathedral Connection have been extremely successful, and a lot of them work in the private sector in a world where you do have to compete with men,” says Diana. “I think that feeling that I can do whatever I want, and I can do it and be proud of it-- I value that tremendously.”

She has stayed connected to Cathedral. She attended the 50th anniversary reunion and she is looking forward to attending more Cathedral events. “It was wonderful. The school did a beautiful job,” says Diana.

“We had our yearbook pictures. We remembered; we laughed. It was a great experience to have that class reunion. I am waiting to go to the 60th, which will be in 2021.”

An important value that was reiterated by her Cathedral experience is the idea of giving back to the community.

“Having it instilled in us to always give back and always be there for one another was a stepping stone for me.

The late Father Poveromo, one of my religion teachers, was one of the best priests I’ve ever met. He really encouraged us to give back to one another and to the community,” says Bernadette.

In college, she participated in various community service projects as well. She also founded her own not-for-profit organization, The Bee Project, in 2013, with the goal of encouraging women’s empowerment, providing educational resources for Guinean women and children, and promoting culture in Guinea.

Helping youth is an integral part of the organization’s mission. “I’m currently the primary sponsor of an orphanage in Guinea. We give back educational resources, food, clothing, technology, and whatever the orphanage needs,” says Bernadette.

Bernadette has been going to Guinea about once every two years; ultimately, she says that her long-term goal is to work in the healthcare system there.

“I really want to help the pediatric population by providing health resources and introducing preventive medicine,” she says.

She has come a long way since her high school days, but she looks

forward to getting more involved with the Cathedral community. Based on her experiences, she would offer a few words of advice to current Cathedral students. “Believe in yourself and invest in yourself. Life is a process,” says Bernadette. “You’re constantly growing; you’re constantly learning. You have to be open to learning. You have to be open to making mistakes. You have to trust in the process of growing.”
