a letter from THE PRESIDENT

Dear Friends, Just a few short months ago, Flintridge Sacred Heart experienced its first transition of leadership as Sister Celeste Marie moved on to our Motherhouse in August to assume her leadership role for our Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose. In her 21 years as Principal at Flintridge Sacred Heart, Sister Celeste established positive relationships and generously engaged with students, faculty and staff, parents, and alumnae to further the Mission of Flintridge Sacred Heart!

We appreciate her dedicated service to our Flintridge Sacred Heart community. Our GALA “Celestial Evening” last May was a joyful, grateful tribute to Sister Celeste’s leadership on the Hill! Oh, what a night!

The Dominican Sisters are not leaving Flintridge Sacred Heart; rather, the leadership of the school is changing from Dominican Sisters to strong Catholic lay leaders.

I am happy to share that after a thorough search process, the Governance Committee of The Board of Directors and I selected a new Principal.

Rebecca Bostic is an amazing school leader; we are privileged to be working with her on the Hill!

Principal Bostic understands and welcomes the reality that the Dominican Sisters are not leaving

Flintridge Sacred Heart; rather, the leadership of the school is changing from Dominican Sisters to strong Catholic lay leaders. Flintridge Sacred Heart is a sponsored school of the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose. Ms. Bostic is our first lay Principal. You can be confident that we Dominican Sisters will be present on the Hill, in partnership with you and our lay colleagues for many years to come! This transition of leadership is succeeding beautifully!

Significant moments like this cause me to be filled with gratitude for all we have received this past year! I truly see God’s grace filling our community as this past year unfolded, filling each of us with blessings, challenges, and unforgettable moments!

We continue to draw a beautiful group of new parents and students to Flintridge Sacred Heart.

Our students shine in so many areas of our school: academics, athletics, and the arts! And we have so much to be grateful for - talented and dedicated faculty and staff, strong leadership in all the school departments, an amazing Health and Wellness team, and a committed and generous parent community that confirms the wisdom that “when home and school work together, amazing things happen!”

I had the privilege of experiencing that wisdom throughout the spring of 2023 as I met with our parents in small groups across grade levels.

Together, we reflected and shared our

12/14/23 8:05 9:43 AM

“We choose to be in right relationship through restorative practices and in solidarity with the young, the poor and the vulnerable.

Widening our heart, we seek healing in all our relationships: within, among and beyond ourselves.”

26th General Chapter Direction Statement Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose

understanding of what it means to live the Dominican charism of Veritas in Right Relationship.

These conversations brought home to our parents the core values that animate our school’s mission and the culture of faith, integrity, and truth that we work daily to foster here on the Hill. I hope you, too, will take a moment and reflect on Our Commitment to Mission and consider how you can continue to prioritize being FIT in your relationships.

In my role as President, I have the privilege of connecting with so many of our wonderfully generous alumnae. I want to tell you about Janet Hart Mitchell, Class of 1948. Throughout this past year, I had the gift of accompanying Janet in prayer as she prepared to enter into eternal life.

Our conversations were always filled with tender memories about her days as a TOLOG on the Hill and her beautiful marriage to Glen Mitchell, who preceded her in death.

I am honored to share with you Janet’s $1,000,000 Endowment gift to Flintridge Sacred Heart which will be established in the name of her parents, Stella and Louis Hart, and our own Sister Mary Benigna Krug, O.P. This scholarship Endowment will support the Bridge Scholarship Program at Flintridge Sacred Heart. Please join me in offering prayers of gratitude for this amazing and very generous alumna of our school. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, especially our

Flintridge Sacred Heart community, rest in God’s peace.

We are so blessed with so many generous donors!

Thank you, all! Gifts of time, treasure, and talent flowed generously throughout our community last year and have continued into this new year!

As we reflect on the blessings of last year, I thank each of you who have contributed in any way to our amazing community spirit that is so clearly evident among us. Another transition in leadership lies ahead of us and we have a year to fill with good work before then! Please know each of you is a blessing to all of us!

You and your family are always in my prayers.

With a prayer-filled abundance of blessings to each of you!

Sister Carolyn McCormack, O.P. President

SISTER CELESTE TRIBUTE A LEGACY OF LE ADERSHIP

S

ister Celeste Marie Botello wrapped up a remarkable 21-year career in June 2023 as the principal of Flintridge Sacred Heart. Her unwavering dedication, fervent enthusiasm for education, and boundless commitment to students was apparent not only at school assemblies, games, or up and down the hallways, but in every interaction with students and parents. She maintained such a close connection with the school community that she understood the importance of fostering a sense of belonging to everyone and modeling the school’s strong commitment to building community, one of the Dominican pillars. “I believe that every student that comes here needs to find a niche, whether it’s academic, theater, whatever that is, they need to find that they have a voice and belong,” said Sister Celeste. Her words encapsulate a philosophy that resonated throughout her extraordinary leadership at Flintridge Sacred Heart.

She keenly recognized that the transition, especially for freshmen, can be challenging, such as making friends or deciding whether or not to wear makeup. Sister Celeste knew that society dictating a predetermined image for young women could be extremely demanding. “That is why it’s crucial for them to find a place where they feel valued and

important, making them eager to come to school.”

Sister Celeste took an interest in the families of her students and made an effort to connect with them on a personal level. “I would notice a girl’s new haircut and would give them a compliment. They were often surprised, but these small gestures are important to build confidence.”

Sister Celeste began her educational journey as a teacher in 1969, teaching junior high math and science in Northern California at St. Williams in Los Altos, Saint Elizabeth in Oakland, and the School of the Madeleine in Berkeley. “I loved teaching it. It was a wonderful experience,” she recalls. In a surprising turn of events, the general Counsel of the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose asked Sister Celeste to transition into an administrative role as an elementary school principal at St. James Elementary School in San Francisco. After seven years, Sister Celeste transferred to Saint Francis Xavier Cabrini School in Los Angeles in 1989 until 2002. After 13 years, Sisters Celeste was asked to leave elementary school administration and go to an all-girls high school. “I did not want to go to high school where the students would be taller than me,” she recalls with a chuckle. But she was quickly told, “Sister, everybody’s taller than you.”

12/14/23 8:05 9:43 AM

She led San Gabriel Mission High as the Dean of Students for a year before coming to Flintridge Sacred Heart in July 2002, to take over as the school’s principal. “I loved every minute of it. I just loved the students.” Two of her nieces graduated from Flintridge Sacred Heart in 1997 and 1999. During her time on the Hill, Sister Celeste faced challenges, including the tragic loss of two students and the pandemic. Despite these hardships, she maintained her unwavering commitment to the school and its students.

a rich history and a promising future for Flintridge Sacred Heart.

When asked how she hopes to be remembered, Sister Celeste expressed a desire for people to remember her as “friendly and warm, a loving and kind person genuinely interested in the well-being of all TOLOGS.” She embodied the virtues of faith, integrity, and truth, leaving behind a legacy. Sister Celeste transitioned into her new role as the Congregational Prioress for the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose, where she remains dedicated to her mission of serving older women and attending to the soul of the congregation. “It’s been a wonderful journey, one in which I have met many friends. It was a good ride. Being able to think that, in some way, you’ve influenced the life of a student is truly a privilege. Now my ride leads me to a whole new journey.”

Sister Carolyn McCormack, O.P., President of Flintridge Sacred Heart, served alongside Sister Celeste for 20 years and praised the significant impact Sister Celeste had on multiple generations of students. “With her warm and distinctive sense of humor, she excelled in fostering positive connections with students, parents, and colleagues. Her 21-year tenure at Flintridge Sacred Heart stands as a testament to her commitment.”

Upon completing her assignment at Flintridge Sacred Heart, Sister Celeste marked the end of an era at Flintridge Sacred Heart, but it also signified a new beginning. Her legacy of dedication, love for education, and commitment to students will continue to shape the institution, thanks to the passion and commitment of her successor, Rebecca Bostic. Together, they represent a bridge between 4 J11803_Booklet R6 NL.indd P.indd 7 4

FOND MEMORIES OF SISTER CELESTE

Sister Celeste was not only an effective principal but a supportive and reliable friend during her 21 years as principal. She was always ready to lend an understanding ear and help every student, family, and teacher.

Mark Bernstein English Teacher

She knew she wasn’t an expert in our fields and she hired us to be the experts. She did not micromanage in terms of teaching and supported us 100 percent by finding ways to encourage and remove barriers that might be there institutionally. She had her finger on the pulse.

Ty Buxman

Science, Computer Science, & Engineering Teacher

She almost effortlessly knew how to treat her faculty and staff and then seamlessly moved to attend to the needs of students and their families. She has the gift of making everyone feel like they are talking to their best friend. I will never forget the 20 years I spent working with her!

Sister Celeste understood how important it was to support our young women in STEM fields. Under her watch, we expanded computer science and engineering course offerings and developed the research program.

She was very supportive of parents, students, teachers - everybody.

Jeannie Finley Computer Science & Engineering Department Chair Computer Science/Yearbook Teacher

Sister Celeste taught me patience. I hope everyone who knows her is laughing and falling off a chair right now. She may be one of the least patient people I’ve ever met, but seeing how she turned this into a strength of always caring so profoundly and urgently, helps me examine faults in a new light.

Leslie Miller Science and Economics Instructor Science Department Chair

One of the things I admired about Sr. Celeste was her ability to never be rushed into taking a course of action.

This in turn would give me and others more confidence in the course she was following.

REFLECTIONS

BY REBECCA BOSTIC D

uring my time as Assistant Principal of Student Affairs, I was also in the last year of my Educational Leadership master’s program.

As I worked to read, study, and learn about leadership, I was blessed to have the most formative educational experience of my entire career: working across the school entryway from Sr. Celeste Botello, O.P. Getting to observe the way that Sr. Celeste led and loved Flintridge Sacred Heart was the gift of a lifetime. Getting pulled into her office to observe her take a tough phone call and sitting in on a meeting with a faculty member or a struggling student was all a front row seat to a master class in educational leadership. While my study was shorter than I would have wished, I remain deeply grateful for all that she taught me during our year together in leadership.

First of all, know the people you are serving as a leader. Know the names of the children of the teachers in your school, and even the names of their pets. Remember to ask students about their older sisters and ask visiting alumnae about their parents. Legend has it that Sr. Celeste used to study the photos of the families at registration night to commit them to memory; however she did it, her knowledge of not just our students, but their families, was extensive and impressive. Faculty, staff, and students alike were always eager to introduce her to visiting family members, not just because she would surely make a joke, but because

she would make an authentic connection. The purpose of Catholic education is to make students feel known, loved, and served. Sr. Celeste was an expert in the field, and she was here to know, love, and serve the parents, faculty, and staff, just as much as the students.

Secondly, Sr. Celeste taught me to put prayer at the center of my leadership. “Oh thank you, Jesus!,” was heard almost daily when something went well, and “Oh please Jesus…” was the first thing out of her mouth when something started to get complicated. And she meant it.

Something would come through, or happen, and she would respond in joy, sharing she had been praying for that to happen.

We have educational theory, best practices, and all sorts of tools as educational leaders, but Sr. Celeste taught me the tool of a prayer life. I have personally felt the power of her prayerful intervention and it is the leadership lesson I try to remind myself of daily.

Finally, studying Sr. Celeste taught me that I better be good at laughing, joking, and making sure I am having fun. Joy and fun with a side of trouble was her superpower. She famously loved Halloween and would dress up as the leader of the high school faculty but in a very different format. She was Dumbledore and the faculty members were Harry Potter characters.

9 J11803_Booklet R6 NL.indd 9 P.indd 12

12/14/23 8:05 9:43 AM

There were Triton and sea creatures, Gru and his minions, Queen Amidala and Star Wars characters, and many more years of joyful leadership. She loved to tell a good story and loved hearing a good story even more. Stories, jokes, and laughs were how she connected with our students, our parents, and our faculty.

She was fearless: last year she charged into the crowd of students to break up a mosh pit three times! She was dedicated to cultivating community: planning required faculty lunches and always getting the best gifts for the faculty and staff for each small holiday. She was funny: ask any graduate about her yearly prom pep talk and you will experience proof of that! She loved Flintridge Sacred Heart and she was so, so, so beloved by all of us on campus.

We miss her every day on the Hill, but what a gift she was to us. And what a true gift she was to me and my development as a leader at our allgirl Catholic, independent school. As the first lay principal at Flintridge Sacred Heart, I know that whatever is good in me, was planted and cultivated

by Sr. Celeste during our four years of working together. Working with her was the blessing of a lifetime.

A MESSAGE FROM

SARAH SIMA MCCANN ‘96 CHAIR, BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Dear Flintridge Sacred Heart Community, On behalf of the Board of Directors, faculty, staff, and students we celebrate Sister Celeste Marie Botello and her 21 years of stewardship. We are a better school community because of her joyful leadership, infectious energy, and her devotion to our mission. For two decades, Sr. Celeste has been beloved by students and parents alike, and future generations will benefit from her legacy on the Hill.

Last fall, we engaged in a thoughtful and thorough search process, guided by our Dominican charism and informed by our community. The search committee, consisting of a cross-section of community members: board of directors, faculty, staff, alumnae, and current and alumnae parents, came together to assist and support Sister Carolyn’s principal selection. It was with great enthusiasm and confidence that Rebecca Bostic was named Flintridge Sacred Heart’s first lay Catholic principal.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to express our appreciation for the community’s work to find a mission-aligned, student-centered leader who would uphold our academic standards and move student programming forward.

We continue to be focused on our commitment

to mission—being in Right Relationship. We are dedicated to fostering harmonious relationships within ourselves, among our community, and extending beyond our borders. The principle of nurturing Right Relationship, as embodied in Catholic Social Teaching, resonates throughout our academic settings, athletic fields, and in the hearts and expressions of our artists.

The bedrock of Flintridge Sacred Heart lies in our Dominican values and Catholic heritage. Our mission thrives atop the Hill.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our exceptional faculty and staff, whose dedication shines brightly. They are steadfast in delivering a robust educational journey for our students, consistently motivating our young women to find their voices, challenge the world around them, and gain a deep understanding of themselves.

As we look ahead, the selection of the President is one of the most important responsibilities assigned to the Board. To assist the Board and the Congregational Leadership of the Dominican Sisters in this significant endeavor, a search committee, which serves as an ad hoc committee

13 J11803_Booklet R6 NL.indd 13 P.indd 16

of the Board has been established. The committee consists of members from the Dominican congregation and leadership, school administration, current board members, and past chairs, working together to carry out this vital task.

This year, it is with great fondness and deep gratitude that we prepare for Sr. Carolyn’s departure, joining in celebration to honor her 21 years of leadership and her meaningful legacy on the Hill.

The Board of Directors is grateful to our community and shares excitement for our school’s future.

Warm Regards,

With Grateful Hearts…

Flintridge Sacred Heart President, Sister Carolyn McCormack O.P. would like to thank these dedicated members of the Board of Directors for their incredible service to the school.

Ann Holmquist Flintridge Sacred Heart extends heartfelt thanks to Ann Holmquist, who, after 15 years of dedicated service, has stepped down from her position on the Board of Directors. Ann’s role on the Board began in August of 2009; however, her dedication and commitment to Flintridge Sacred Heart had been in place long before then.

Ann was hired by Sister Ramona Bascom, O.P., in 2000, to teach religion, “sight unseen” as Ann says and she remained at Flintridge Sacred Heart until rendering her retirement in the spring of 2008. At that time, Ann moved on to Loyola High School and is currently serving as Vice President for Mission.

Ann is not only a past faculty member, she is also a past parent. Ann and Robert Holmquist’s daughter Megan graduated in 2007. Ann’s experience as

served for 15 years. The Education Committee and the Mission Committee of Flintridge Sacred Heart’s Board resonate in her heart! We are forever grateful to Ann for her commitment to Flintridge Sacred Heart and the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose; our gratitude holds our deepest prayer for blessings and peace as she moves into the future.

Sister Jane Rudolph O.P. Sister Jane Rudolph, O.P. completed her term on Flintridge Sacred Heart’s Board of Directors in 2022. Responding to an assignment from the Congregational Prioress, Sister Jane left her ministry at Santa Teresita community to coordinate the Motherhouse Boutique, our Dominican Sisters’ annual Christmas Extravaganza! Have no doubt that Sister Jane’s energy and enthusiasm, while missed here on the Hill, will find new life at Mission San Jose! We are grateful to Sister Jane for her two terms on our Board of Directors, for her presence on the Board’s Mission Committee, and her genuine, dedicated appreciation of our Mission at Flintridge Sacred Heart. We send Sister Jane every blessing for her new ministry endeavors!

GLIMPSES THE SANKOFA CELEBRATION This year marked the introduction of a new tradition during our graduation week festivities called the Sankofa Celebration. Organized by the Black Student Union, the event highlighted the achievements and experiences of Black graduating seniors while fostering connections among incoming and current Black families at Flintridge Sacred Heart. Sankofa, a Twi word from the Akan Tribe of Ghana encourages learning from the past to inform the future. Guest speakers, including Alyssa Carter ‘16 and Reverend Dr. Yvonne Williams Boyd led the Libation Ceremony, an African form of prayer honoring ancestors. Blessings were poured into a flower planted on campus.

UNITING THE WORLDS OF ART AND PHYSICS The posters on the wall of the physics lab were designed by our Art 3 students to increase awareness and recognition of successful female scientists. We sought to highlight the most underrepresented scientists: women of color and/or with disabilities. Currently, our exhibit includes seven female scientists who saved lives and altered the course of history despite the prejudice and underrepresentation of women in the scientific community. They include Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Marie Maynard Daly, Tu You You, Helen Taussig, and Chien-Shiung Wu. We hope that future years of art students will continue this tradition, adding to the exhibit and the recognition of female scientists. We also hope that such an exhibit of women’s success in the scientific community will encourage our students to pursue their passions in science, regardless of their gender.

WATER BALLOON CATAPULTS At Flintridge Sacred Heart, we take learning to the next level with a splash! Students in Ty Buxman’s honors physics class bombarded Crane Field with water balloons, engaging in a lively lesson on catapults. Armed with scientific curiosity and water balloons, TOLOGS explored the principles of motion, force, and gravity in an exhilarating hands-on experience. As physics came to life in a burst of excitement, so did the laughter and camaraderie among our students.

Learning is not just about equations; it’s about unleashing creativity and making a splash in the world of knowledge.

UNIVERSITY ACCEPTANCE VIBES The excitement of future endeavors was palpable as Flintridge Sacred Heart students proudly wore sweatshirts adorned with the logos of the universities they planned to attend after receiving their acceptance letters. These spirited displays not only reflect the academic achievements of the students but also create a sense of anticipation and community. As they navigated the transition from high school to university life, these TOLOGS proudly showcased their chosen institutions, embodying the spirit of aspiration and academic accomplishment.

Little Shop of Horrors ignited the magic of theatre on the Hill, spotlighting the skill and enthusiasm of Flintridge Sacred Heart students. This comedy rock musical, featuring Alan Menken’s brilliant music and Howard Ashman’s witty lyrics, immersed audiences in the quirky world of a hapless florist shop worker. The story unfolds as he cares for a peculiar plant that thrives on human blood and flesh. We saw the students’ artistic expression flourish on stage and how Flintridge Sacred Heart continues to create a dynamic environment that underscores the multifaceted talents of students.

COLLABORATIVE LEARNING A

commitment to collaborative learning encourages students to explore coursework at a deeper level.

The walls of the engineering department are decorated with one stellar research poster after another. At Flintridge Sacred Heart, students actively pursue their interests, including deciding the topic for their senior research project.

Last year, a student with ADHD explored the challenges hindering optimal learning for students with the disorder. Three students with a passion for education worked on the project. They wore special glasses to monitor blink rates and detect attention levels, allowing counselors and teachers to pinpoint activities contributing to inattentiveness and better assess teaching methods and environmental factors.

The approach to education on the Hill transcends traditional methods, embracing an inquisitive, project-based curriculum for more effective learning.

Quiet note-taking is far from the norm. The school is dedicated to cultivating critical thinkers. Students are encouraged and empowered to fully engage with the material, their instructors, and their peers. This

At a STEM Symposium hosted by The Archer School for Girls, “Development of blink rate detecting glasses for student attention monitoring (SAM-EE: Student Attention Monitoring For Educational Enhancement),” took center stage. The research was presented in the same way scholarly academic work is presented at professional conferences, with a poster session, an

t Flintridge Sacred Heart we are tackling the gender gap in STEM head-on. TOLOGS leave the Hill with the confidence to challenge the status quo. It’s not just about grades; it’s about embracing diverse perspectives and learning from failure. The process is key to success.

The SAM-EE has been accepted to the American Professional Society of ADHD conference and the American Educational Research Association (AERA) conference! Emily Manookian, Caroline Fall, and Luella Hood all from the Class of 2023 are especially excited to present their poster at AERA since they accept only about 30 percent of all applications.

academic paper, and an invited talk. The academic depth and scientific rigor demonstrated by these three students was noticed by the judges as the group walked away with an award for the top engineering project. And it doesn’t necessarily end with graduation.

Past projects have been submitted to professional conferences for presentation, to the patent office for product registration, and to professional journals for publication.

The student’s approach to learning is in keeping with research that shows that the female brain excels in collaborative settings, a skill crucial especially in fields such as science and engineering. (Journal of Educational Psychology Smith & Jones, 2019).

Collaboration is something that is taught at Flintridge Sacred Heart beginning freshman year.

“The key to Flintridge Sacred Heart’s success lies in its supportive all-girls environment, where students, surrounded by like-minded peers, can build knowledge and confidence. If they failed 23 times, what happens if they gave up on the 20th attempt? They would have

never gotten this research poster,” said Ty Buxman, a Science and Computer Science & Engineering teacher.

At this level, grades take a back seat to the crucial skill of approaching problems from multiple angles; true success emerges from learning through repeated failures. “The process is what matters.”

Learning and honing research skills are seamlessly woven into every course from day one. The pinnacle of this journey is their senior year where research proficiency flourishes. These young women possess the tools for questioning, synthesizing, and presenting information adeptly. Ready for the challenges ahead in college and beyond, their experience ensures they can meet the high expectations of writing and presenting in their first college year. The emphasis is not on teaching a profession but on cultivating curious minds — they are learners at heart — they are lifelong learners.

I now reside just down the hill from Flintridge Sacred Heart. It feels like I’m close to home.

Columbia University

I think there were so many aspects of Flintridge Sacred Heart that shaped who I am. The Sisters, teachers, and residential staff were all very nice in taking the best care of us, yet at the time, they still held us responsible for our choices and actions. Boiling down all of the things I’ve learned and absorbed during my four years of high school, is my guiding principle of “use your heart in relation to other people and use your mind when dealing with issues or events” (if that makes sense. It’s my translation from Chinese, which sounds better).

For example, with my colleagues I always try to show respect, humility, openness to learn, to listen, and to build a cordial relationship. But at the same time, I hold them and myself responsible for our work, hence the use of the mind/brain part. In the end, we are all imperfect humans, trying to balance our emotions with logic. FSHA taught me the importance of patience and accepting every aspect of our humanity, to strive to make the choices that make us better people.

T

he first year at Flintridge Sacred Heart was certainly challenging. I still remember that afternoon when my parents left me with my two roommates. From that moment on, I learned to be responsible for every choice I made. The Sisters, teachers, and residential staff were always available to support and help us adapt. From my sophomore year onward, I’d describe myself as a nerd. Science classes, especially physics, were my favorite. Being president of the science club during my junior year and getting a 5 on my AP physics exam were very encouraging experiences that gave me a lot of confidence. I took six AP classes during my senior year. Those credits allowed me to graduate college early and have extra time to travel and explore the world.

I graduated from Columbia University in three and a half years with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Mathematics and spent my last semester traveling in Europe and Asia (that was great). Right after graduation, I moved to Beijing and worked as an associate at CITIC Securities, which was the biggest securities/brokerage in China at the time.

I lived and worked in China for nine years mostly in banking and private equity. During COVID, I moved back to the United States and got my Master of Science in Management and Leadership from the Graziadio Business School at Pepperdine University. At the same time, I was working for Remark Holdings (Nasdaq: MARK) as their Vice President of Investor Relations. In 2021, I moved to Singapore

IN LOVING

MEMORY Janet Hart Mitchell

J

anet Hart Mitchell graduated from Flintridge Sacred Heart in June of 1948. On September 10, 2023, in her 75th anniversary year, God called Jane home but not before she had blessed Flintridge Sacred Heart with an incredible gift.

Janet Hart Michell’s $1,000,000 Endowment gift to the Academy, established in the name of her parents, Stella and Louis Hart and Sister Benigna Krug, O.P. Resident Director at the time Janet was present, will support Flintridge Sacred Heart’s Bridge Scholarship Program into the future. Her bright spirit and generous heart are a gift that will keep on giving on the Hill.

May Janet rest in peace.

Angelo Mozilo

W

e remember with singular gratitude, our friend and generous benefactor, Angelo Mozilo, who entered eternal life on July 16, 2023.

Angelo, a deeply committed supporter of Flintridge Sacred Heart, worked closely with Sister Ramona Bascom, completing the Student Activities Center and science classrooms which were dedicated in 1998. Most recently, Angelo and Phyllis, his dear wife, worked with Sister Carolyn McCormack, contributing the culminating gift of the Mozilo Family Center for the Arts.

Yet, the best gift Angelo and Phyllis gave to Flintridge Sacred Heart was the privilege of educating their daughters, Elizabeth and Christy, and their granddaughters.

We share a grateful appreciation for the blessings of friendship and generous philanthropy that Angelo and Phyllis gave to Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy.

May the blessings of peace and rest be with Angelo Mozilo.

This list pays tribute to those who have passed away since the last edition of the View From the Top and to those whose departure we have been made aware. If you would like Flintridge Sacred Heart to honor the memory of your loved one, please contact us by emailing alumnae@fsha.org.

Betsy Sauer

O

n November 2, 2023, Betsy Sauer lost her long battle with cancer, returning to her God, surrounded by her family.

Betsy filled many roles in her 30 years on the Hill (1974 – 2004): teacher and coach, Athletic Director and colleague, mentor and especially friend.

In addition to ensuring that our athletes were fit and well-trained, she was especially attentive to our younger students as she taught them the basics of health, in a culture where these values are not always prized. Fittingly, she is in our Athletic Hall of Fame.

Her death leaves a hole in the lives of many whom she deeply touched. Let us keep her and her family in prayer.

Patricia Jean Traviss ‘49

M

arch 2023 brought the sad news of the passing of Patricia Traviss, Class of ‘49.

A faithful alumna, Pat was a generous donor to Flintridge Sacred Heart, always surprising the Sisters with her distinctive and special gifts at the end of the year and for special events.

A former Director of Rockhaven Sanitarium in Glendale, CA, Pat often said, “To truly care for someone, is to be there for them when they are in their most vulnerable state. Give them unconditional love so that they may soar with the angels.”

We pray that Patricia is with the angels now and count on her prayerful support for us.

May she rest in peace.

2022-23

ANNUAL REPORT ON PHIL ANTHROPY

THE BRIDGE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM We launched the Bridge Scholarship Program in 2021 to bridge the financial gap for families.

This scholarship, covering up to 90 percent of tuition and fees annually, aims to ensure that bright students from low and moderate income families have access to the full educational experience at Flintridge Sacred Heart. Bridge Scholars not only receive tuition assistance but also waivers for uniforms, books, and activity fees.

For the 2022-23 academic year, five promising students contribute to Flintridge Sacred Heart and benefit from our school community. We

are excited about expanding this opportunity to new students each year. Our goal is to break down barriers to entry by offering need-based scholarship awards to students who demonstrate the ability to succeed at Flintridge Sacred Heart and share our commitment to faith, integrity, and truth.

To discover more about our Bridge Scholars or to contribute to this program, please contact Shoshana Puccia at spuccia@fsha. org or 626-685-8550.

MOTHER DOLOROSA SOCIETY Mother Dolorosa, one of the three pioneering Dominican Sisters who founded Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy in 1931, played a crucial role in steering the school’s growth. Her leadership, marked by a journey up the Hill with “a statue of the Blessed Virgin, a $5 bill, and their faith,” laid the foundation for unimaginable development. In tribute to her legacy, we are privileged to name our planned giving society after Mother Dolorosa.

The Mother Dolorosa Society celebrates alumnae, parents, grandparents, and friends who have included Flintridge Sacred Heart in their estate plans. Mirroring Mother Dolorosa’s enduring commitment, society members make a lasting impact on the school’s mission and generations of young women.

Membership in the society is permanent, continuing on an annual basis as long as the gift remains in effect. Society members receive recognition in Flintridge Sacred Heart’s Annual Report on Philanthropy and are invited to periodic events. The names of deceased members remain eternally among those honored.
