LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

THE YEAR THAT WAS

BY EDWARD CABAN 2020 was a year like no other. This edition of the magazine will highlight the people and events that make All Hallows the school that it is today. All of us, both past and present, form a magnificent tapestry woven together by a long thread of success stories. Each hand-woven piece has its own beauty and purpose without calling attention to the complexity of its design.

From the first group of Irish Christian Brothers who traveled across the sea to establish All Hallows over a century ago, to the men and women who walk our halls each day fulfilling the mission of Blessed Edmund Rice, our tapestry is full of color, beauty and complexity.

As we think back and take stock of the year that was, we are reminded and humbled by the many blessings we’ve received in all of their forms. Now we look to the future carrying within us the lessons we’ve learned, determined and more prepared than ever before. Our students, alumni and supporters, some of whom did not attend All Hallows, are all part of the interwoven threads that make up our tapestry.

INSIDE

With your continued support we will weave together a vision for the future with all the color, beauty and complexity of a master work that will shape and influence untold generations to come.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

“

START BY DOING WHAT’S NECESSARY; THEN DO WHAT’S POSSIBLE; AND SUDDENLY YOU’RE DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE. – SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI

The pandemic pressed the pause button on what was considered normal. However, a new normal was established. This was not the first global crisis that All Hallows had faced and overcome in its 112-year history, and it will certainly not be the last.

The early commitment and investment in digital education prior to the pandemic enabled the All Hallows community to adapt and overcome the challenges associated with distance learning. The collaborative efforts of the faculty and administration allowed All Hallows to be at the forefront of online learning and establish itself as the gold standard for remote learning.

As we enter the post pandemic era, All Hallows will continue to invest in areas that will provide our students with the knowledge and skills necessary to compete in today’s college and work environments. It also will instill critical thinking abilities to address 21st Century jobs that have not been created yet.

Investment in capital improvements and necessary deferred maintenance repairs to our majestic ninety-yearold building has been made possible by the generosity of Mr. & Mrs. Joseph Murphy (Rice HS '52). Renovation and reallocation of space from the Brother’s residence will allow for comfortable and efficient accommodations for the resident Brothers and critical space for the school to provide enrichment programs.

In less than three years, our Second Century Campaign, has reached seventy-two percent of its goal of raising $10 Million dollars in five years. This comprehensive campaign will help fund scholarships and financial aid for students as well capital projects to compliment the planned enrichment programs. Please support this comprehensive campaign by continuing to give for scholarship assistance, supporting our golf outing and Presidents Dinner, annual appeals and capital projects.

Every dollar counts to exceed our $10 million goal.

I salute the entire faculty and staff, especially our maintenance staff for their untiring efforts during the pandemic to keep our students safe while continuing to provide each student with a quality faith-based education.

I thank those who recognized the financial stress that our families were experiencing and assisted them by making special Covid relief gifts.

This edition of Pro Fide et Patria, highlights some of the incredible benefactors, faculty members, alumni and current students that make up the All Hallows Community.

May God bless them and all of you who continue to support All Hallows!

Enjoy the magazine!

Educating the body, mind and spirit of each student is consistent with an Edmund Rice education. The students must be continually challenged physically, mentally and spiritually. This September major changes to the daily schedule will allow additions to the curriculum that will reintroduce music and art, enhance STEM initiatives and promote advocacy and spiritual life programs. In addition, we have partnered with St. John’s University, St Francis College and Fordham University to provide college courses and to assist in extracurricular programs such as community gardens and community outreach programs.

Ron Schutté '74 President

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK Dear Parents, Students, Alumni and Friends of All Hallows, When I began my tenure at All Hallows in July of 2019, I could never have expected the world to have changed so much in less than a year. One of my initial goals was to increase the parents’ engagement in their son’s lives here at All Hallows. Strangely, the pandemic, which divided so many people, led us to achieve that goal and showed us how to bring our community closer together. As we started remote learning, we knew that it was urgent for us to stay connected to our families. We had Google Meets every other week with parents and students from the beginning of the pandemic to the end of the school year. The parents made a point to request that these virtual gatherings did not go away–and we honored that request. We currently have an average of 85% of our families attending our Google Meets. This partnership between families, staff and administration is one of the ways that All Hallows was able to rise above this pandemic.

We opened in September of 2020 with families being able to choose full in-school, hybrid or full remote learning.

However, the pandemic did not hold us back from some of our most cherished All Hallows traditions. We were able to send the class of 2021 off, under strict COVID protocols with both an in-person Senior Celebration Night and our traditional Commencement Exercises from St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Other events were held online–just to name a few–National Honor Society induction, Back to School Night, Parent-Teacher conferences, drama productions and, most important to our school, daily morning prayer and school Masses. We even found a way for a group of motivated students to receive the Sacraments of Initiation.

At these liturgies, our parents were able to pray with us in real time. Again, this is something that was never done before and now will never go away.

Looking ahead to the 2021-2022 school year our focus must be on socialization. We look forward to having all students back in the building, but that brings the challenges of preacclimation to the school community.

One way to enhance socialization is through co-curricular activities, which have always been central to life at All Hallows. Our new schedule will include daily “Community Time” during which the students will participate in clubs and activities. This new schedule will allow for interactions among classes and grade levels.

Susan Natale | Principal Additionally, we are partnering with Education Through Music. All students in grades 9 and 10 will have music class once a week. All Hallows hasn’t had a music curriculum in over 40 years. We will also have a choir that will encompass grades 9 through 12. We look forward to focusing on art and music this coming year because we all know that art and music bring people together. There will also be two exciting new electives, Entrepreneurship and Advocacy and Activism, being offered next year to the seniors.

Blessed Edmund Rice, founder of the Christian Brothers would be extremely proud of us. I am sure he never imagined students would be seated 6 feet apart, take classes online or have “social distancing” be a part of their everyday vocabulary, but he was dedicated to educating young men, instilling in them a positive Catholic world view. We remain dedicated to that mission today.

The pandemic has been a challenge for everyone but we have remained strong and will not let anything get us down or stop us. C.S. Lewis wrote, “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” We look forward to the future and what it brings.

Thank you for your continued support of All Hallows.

Live Jesus in Our Hearts…. Forever!

God Bless, Susan A. Natale Principal

SPIRITUAL LIFE

IF YOU SET YOUR MIND TO DO EVERYTHING FOR THE GREATER GLORY OF GOD, CHALLENGES BECOME BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE

“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” These were Saint Paul’s words to the Galatians; these words became my inspiration to remain steadfast to the ministry of Edmund Rice during this school year.

This is not the first time that All Hallows had to endure trials and tribulations associated with a pandemic. Less than ten years following the birth of All Hallows, America was engulfed in the throngs of the pandemic of 1918. Unquestionably, the one thing that kept the All Hallows community united then was their love for God and neighbor. And, oh boy, how this is still true in 2021.

We began brainstorming ways to keep our school family hopeful and united. As the campus minister, one of my many responsibilities is too foster and invigorate a community of faith, so I began posting daily prayers on our school’s website. My goal was to proclaim our Catholic faith by writing short prayers that our families could easily access. I also began hosting live daily prayer services every morning on Google Meets. Even though we were not all physically together, our love for God and each other vibrated during our Google Meet sessions–we prayed for each other and the world. It was imperative that the morning prayers take place in our School’s Chapel, the center of our spirituality.

Since we couldn’t receive the Eucharist physically, at least the Body of Christ came to us spiritually into our hearts. I never allowed our distances to separate us from Jesus because we were still a community dedicated to actively sharing and caring as Christ instructed.

As soon as Google services added the option to live-stream events, I streamed morning prayers, Masses, and retreats from our majestic chapel. With all glory to God, I also accomplished another successful Sacramental Program. Without missing a beat, ten students met with me weekly via Google Meets and received in-person the Sacraments of Initiation on May 14, 2021.

Due to restrictions, only a few of us were able to attend, but technology allowed us to unite once again and give witness to our Catholic identity. If you set your mind to do everything for the greater glory of God, challenges become “blessings in disguise”.

Technology allowed me to unite families across the country.

Parents, students, faculty, and staff renewed their faith in God. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we guided each other with love and compassion. Jesus Christ started the Catholic Church to continue His mission. Blessed Edmund Rice evoked a deep awareness of God’s loving presence in all with whom he came in contact. The Christian Brothers of Ireland were totally dedicated to carrying on Blessed Edmund Rice’s mission when they established All Hallows in 1909. Now over a century later, we are a community of faith that announces the Good News, bear witness, and make present the mystery of the communion of the Holy Trinity by word, worship, and service. We will not “grow weary of doing good”.

ALL HALLOWS PRESENTS

NEW TO THE ALL HALLOWS FAMILY ANABEL CIMORELLI SPANISH TEACHER AT ALL HALLOWS Ms. Cimorelli is a graduate from Queens College and currently teaches Spanish at All Hallows. Considering all the obstacles we have faced this year, All Hallows has shown its strength by making sure every student is in a good place, mentally and physically.

Ms. Cimorelli enjoyed seeing her students in-person on ID day. It gave me a glimpse into what we lost this year and will hopefully regain next year as students begin to return to in-person learning. The kids have shown their enthusiasm and strength.

They’ve navigated this new world of education with much ease. If they can do it we all can do it and nothing can stop us.

DANIEL HAYNES MEDIA ARTS 12 Mr. Haynes is a graduate of St. John’s University with a BS in Journalism; I’ve worked as a professional journalist since 2015.

All Hallows is a place built on community. I have seen and felt the value placed on building and fostering community. I have some of my loudest laughs and I’ve faced some of my biggest frustrations teaching our students (I think some purposely try to frustrate me). It’s been a blessing to be a part of the All Hallows Community and play a part in the lives of our phenomenal young men.

My most memorable moment this past year was the senior class celebration in May. Being able to interact with our seniors beyond the confines of a laptop screen was the highlight of my year so far.

Reflecting on his own experiences and what drives him as a teacher at All Hallows Mr. Haynes stated, “I grew up in a third world country. Many times, I studied by candle light in my early life. Many times, I would fill buckets of water to bathe in the morning before school. Many times, I struggled. Now I’m in the US, and I’ve accomplished things I dreamed of, but didn’t think would be realistically possible. What drives me is being able to show our students that anything is possible if they apply themselves. The classroom content matters, but watching them excel in life regardless of the obstacles to learning and their future is what drive me”.

GINA KLEIN 9TH GRADE COUNSELOR AND IEP COORDINATOR Ms. Klein is originally a graduate of Iona College with a BS in Mathematics. Since then, she has earned two Graduate Degrees; an MS in Math Education from Lehman College and an MS in Guidance & Counseling from the College of New Rochelle.

I taught math in Catholic schools prior to becoming a counselor. I’m currently the 9th grade counselor & IEP coordinator. Over the past year I’ve gotten to know the freshmen through our one-on-one Google Meets. Overall, they’ve been responsive and responsible with signing onto our meetings, and we’ve been able to build a counselorstudent relationship close to what it would be like if we were in person. The faculty has been extremely welcoming to me, and I’ve felt like a member of the community since my first day. I’ve enjoyed meeting the students and faculty knowing that we are all working toward the same goal. Ultimately, I want what is best for our students, and I try to do whatever I can to help them reach their potential. I want our students to learn how to be independent, responsible young adults during their time at All Hallows so they can become successful in their futures.

TAIT MCGLINN ALGEBRA, COMPUTER SCIENCE, AND PRECALCULUS Mr. McGlinn graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a major in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. While at Notre Dame he enjoyed playing on the club water polo team and other intramural sports, and often spent time in the ceramics studio. At All Hallows Mr. McGlinn teaches 9th grade algebra I, 10th grade computer science, and 12th grade precalculus. He also moderates the “Bored” Games Club and recently started helping coach the golf team.

When asked to describe his experience teaching at All Hallows Mr. McGlinn said, “All Hallows is a community-driven school, and I’ve felt welcomed and a part of our school community from day one. The students have faced many setbacks this year, but through the dedication and the effort put in by teachers and students alike, It’s pushed me to adapt to this new learning environment and serve my students and the school community as best as I can. Student success and a rich school community is what drives me as a teacher. It is incredibly rewarding to see how my students take the content I teach them and make it their own on their road to mastery”.

Mr. McGlinn came to us through The Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE). It is a fellowship graduate program run by the University of Notre Dame. ACE serves more than 120 Catholic K-12 schools across 35 cities in the US. In partnering with All Hallows, Mr. McGlinn explained, I am here to teach and serve the school community but I’ve also received fantastic mentorship from both Notre Dame and All Hallows faculty. Having a network of roughly 100 people in my cohort teaching across the country has been immensely helpful, especially during this past year.

STUDENTS TO WATCH ETHAN & EVAN DIAZ '21 We first heard about All Hallows because both of our cousins and older brother attended. Our older brother Elijah graduated from All Hallows in 2019.

This definitely influenced our decision to attend. We heard their experiences and we wanted to be a part of the brotherhood. Also, after attending an open house early in our 8th grade year it showed us many different aspects of what an All Hallows education would provide and this was very important to us.

We come from a family of immigrants who moved to New York for better opportunities. Both our parents were the first to attend college and had 4 children. My siblings and I were taught at a very young age how important it was for us to prioritize our school work and the value of respect, especially to those around us. My older brother, Elijah Diaz, currently attends Cornell University and has a 3.6 GPA. My twin brother and I look to follow in our older brother’s footsteps.

EVAN DIAZ: Ever since my brothers and I were little, our parents instilled in us the importance of academics and why we should always place school and our education before sports. Because of this, I always make sure that my grades are not only up to par but that I am working hard to become a better student in any way possible. I will be attending Wesleyan University this fall. I hope to major in economics and be a part of the Wesleyan Baseball team. Being a student athlete is something that will not be new to me. At All Hallows I had to do the best I could in the classroom as well as on the baseball field. Playing at the next level is something I am very proud of and getting the chance to do it at such a great school like Wesleyan makes it even better.

ETHAN DIAZ: What informed my decision to become part of the All Hallows community was the school’s high academic standards and its ability to transform students into innovative and talented leaders while having access to a mission-oriented staff and community. I also will be attending Wesleyan University next school year and playing on the Wesleyan Baseball team. I look forward to majoring in either economics or government.

SEBASTIAN LOPEZ '21 I am the only child of two Colombian Immigrants with a passion for communications and public speaking. Ever since I won a speech competition in the eight grade, I have been grabbing every opportunity I can get when it comes to anything communications.

It was by chance I heard about All Hallows while attending a high school fair back in middle school. Once I heard that All Hallows had an amazing TV Studio and a media course, I was hooked. However, I still wanted to go to an open house to see what it was like in person. The open house was just the icing on the cake.

At All Hallows, I have been exposed to so many opportunities to improve towards my dream career.

At All Hallows, I am always busy, making my future brighter than ever. I am heading to Syracuse University with a major in advertising. One day, I hope to work in the Advertising Department of a big company.

ISAIAH RIVERA '21

TAMAJI TIGENOAH '21

My family consists of my mother, father, and two older brothers. My father was born in New York while my mother moved to New York from Puerto Rico when she married my father. I first heard about All Hallows through my older brother, who is a year older than me and was attending All Hallows at the time. His insight, along with the open house is what led to my decision to enroll in All Hallows.

I come from a very extensive family from all across the world. My father immigrated from Ghana when he was around 19 to make a name for himself. I also have family in the U.K. I enjoy reading comic books and walking my dogs.

The school has exposed me to a rigorous workload. This has allowed me to develop my time management skills that will be crucial in college. Additionally, there have been many opportunities offered in a wide variety of careers. Whether it’s a summer program, job, or internship these valuable experiences help prepare us for the future. Lastly the curriculum has exposed me to a wide range of classes that helped me find my interests.

I’m enrolled at Cooper Union this Fall where I will be majoring in Electrical Engineering.

I first heard of All Hallows from one of my friends who was considering going to the school at the time.

What informed my decision to attend the school was when I attended the open house. The family atmosphere that I felt going there is what influenced me going to this school. Some of the things that the school has exposed me to shaped my feelings towards college and a career. The Mentoring in Medicine program experience at All Hallows is what pushed me towards a career in medicine.

I plan to go to UB-University of Buffalo in the fall and major in Biochemistry. Following college I plan to enroll in medical school.

JOSEPH MIRON '21 I was born and raised in the Bronx. I’m the child of Mexican Immigrants and I have two older sisters.

I first heard of All Hallows when my public middle school held a catholic school fair. I was hesitant at the idea of going to a Catholic school.

However, that didn’t stop me from visiting the different booths and getting my free pens. I vividly remember Mr. Mercado telling me “our school is close to Yankee Stadium”. That put All Hallows on my radar because my parents work at the stadium as concession workers. At the time, I was 100% sure that I was going to a public school and I almost did. However, a family friend with a connection to All Hallows heard about this and urged my mom to send me to All Hallows. After a lot of conversations, we decided that All Hallows would be the best move for my education. My mom and oldest sister decided that it was worth investing their money into my education at All Hallows. This put me into an interesting position because from the very beginning I always aimed to make the most of All Hallows since I knew how fortunate I was to be there. My mom and sister’s sacrifice drove me to push myself in the classroom and take every opportunity possible. That drive and the opportunities available at All Hallows got me into Columbia University with a full ride scholarship.

Since freshman year, I was involved with the National Hispanic Institute, Futures and Options, and Part of The Solution. From these programs and organizations I was able to make meaningful connections that furthered my success. In my 4 years, I have traveled to San Antonio, Rochester, Philadelphia, and I was about to go to China last year but Covid got in the way of that.

I applied to Columbia Early Decision through QuestBridge. All went according to plan and I was notified on December 1st that I had been accepted to Columbia University. I plan on majoring in Economic and Political Science but anything is possible. I’m going into college with an open mind. I want to explore and experience everything and hopefully find my calling. At the moment, I’m interested in Private Equity because it pays the big bucks and you learn a lot from the clients you work with.

SEAN FLAHERTY '22 I am an Irish and Italian American whose parents were both born in the United States. I have attended Catholic school my whole life and am a practicing Catholic. When it comes to school I take pride in my work and don’t submit anything I’m not personally proud of.

I first heard about All Hallows through family friends who went there. I was intrigued so I went for the open house in the Fall of 2017 during my 7th Grade year. I could tell from the way that the students spoke on the tours and to each other that there was a sense of mutual respect present. As the tour went on the word “brotherhood” was drilled into my head through the many speeches and I could tell that I really liked the school and what it stood for.

I knew that I liked engineering, so, I joined the engineering club at All Hallows and was able to pinpoint that I liked architectural engineering the most. As a result, I started to focus more on architectural engineering-based labs and projects to really see if this is what I wanted to do when I graduate.

This year I was able to achieve a 100 average during the third quarter. I took every test, quiz, and homework assignment very seriously, in order to achieve that goal. I stuck to a schedule that I made to benefit myself.

BRANDON SAM '21 I’m a first-generation Asian American citizen living in the Bronx.

My mother and father both immigrated from Cambodia and took on a great deal of work to help bring me where I am today. I live in an extended family household of 8 people alongside sister, my uncle’s family, and my grandmother. My goal is to become a likable doctor who others look up to and are thankful for. With my salary, I want to give back to my family and those who helped me become who I am today. I live by a personal maxim that prioritizes helping others no matter what, and so I want to fulfill my role in society.

I first heard of All Hallows from a couple of alumni in my old school Saint Nicholas of Tolentine. They told me it was a very affordable school that also had a great welcoming community and sense of brotherhood. When I went to their open house, I quickly saw this with my own eyes and the students there helped me feel more comfortable and even joked around. Because of how friendly and interactive the environment was, I decided to become a part of the All Hallows community.

All Hallows opened the door to so many opportunities for me, in terms of both academic and internal growth. It introduced me to the Everest Leadership Academy, which helped me improve my selfesteem and become a more confident, outgoing individual. I also had the luxury of being able to visit numerous scientists and researchers at work in the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and was even able to interact and work alongside these scientists under the Weill Cornell High School Catalyst Program. Having a taste of what the biological field has to offer has made me more interested and willing to enter the medical field during college. It reassured my belief that science is the field for me as there’s dozens of different ways I can contribute to society and help other people out.

Going into Fordham University, I want to enroll in their pre-med programs and further my studies as a Biological Sciences major.

Although I’m not completely sure on what exact occupation I wish to pursue, I do know that it’s in the medical field since helping others is something I really enjoy doing. As of right now, I’m currently stuck between becoming a pediatrician or a family physician, as both helps others in their own unique way and can build close relationships with their patients. Regardless of what occupation I pursue, I still hope to become a well-liked doctor who others can look up to and feel comfortable going up to for help.

ALL HALLOWS LEGACIES THE STORY OF A FATHER AND SON WHO BOTH CALL ALL HALLOWS HOME.

Mr. Otero is a proud alumnus and member of the class of '85. As a child he attended St. Raymond’s middle school and it was there where he first learned about All Hallows High School. While playing in a middle school basketball tournament his coach asked him what high schools he was considering and recommended that All Hallows be his first choice. Later, while attending Shamrock Basketball Camp he met our own Coach Carey prompting him to apply to All Hallows in the Fall. Once Mr. Otero was accepted to All Hallows, he persuaded his brother and cousins to join him there as well.

During his time at All Hallows Mr. Otero played for the All Hallows Basketball, Baseball and Hockey teams. He remembers fondly Mr. Sullivan whom he credits for keeping him “in-line”. As he put it, “Mr. Sullivan was the Enforcer” keeping him on the right path as both his coach and his math teacher. “I wish I could name all the teachers and brothers that had an influence on my life,” Mr. Otero explained.

I was a kid from the South Bronx and they showed me there was a bigger world out there. Mr. Otero credits his time at All Hallows as being one of the most transformative and one of the best times of his life. “All Hallows changed my life and made me the man I am today. The friends I made over 30 years ago are still my friends today. We get together as much as we can, break bread and reminisce”.

16

I WAS THE “KING OF DETENTION” AND MY SON WENT ON TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL AND A SCHOOL LEADER

Mr. Otero went on to Concordia College and later earned a Master’s degree from Metropolitan College of New York Audrey School for Human Services and Education. Soon after, Mr. Otero began his 30-year career with the City of New York. He first joined EMS as a Paramedic and later joined the New York City Department of Corrections as a correction officer. Eventually Mr. Otero would land a position with the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit where he continues to serve the city to this day.

He calls the ESU the “Swiss army knife of the NYPD’’. Their motto is, “when the public needs help, they call the police, when the police need help, they call ESU. Among his many responsibilities, he is certified as a scuba diver engaging in water rescues, body recovery, high angle rope rescues, animal rescues and at times an unofficial snake expert.

When it was time for my son Jose to choose a high school, I didn’t pressure him and left the decision in his hands. We visited many schools and attended several open houses and high school fairs. At one fair he and his mother saw the All Hallows banner and approached the table where Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Mercado, our director of admissions were answering questions. As they introduced themselves and mentioned my name, my young son said Mr. Sullivan got very excited, telling stories and even remembering my class and homeroom. My son decided that this is where he wanted to go.

“All Hallows became my first choice”, Jose said. My family was ecstatic. At a family function Jose’s uncle, and cousins, all alumni of All Hallows, pulled Jose to the side to congratulate him and warn him, “Don’t embarrass us and do your best”.

Every dad wants their son to do better than they did and my son has exceeded my expectations. I was the “King of Detention” and my son went on to be president of the student council and a school leader. It’s very emotional for me because walking through those doors as a freshman I didn’t know where my life would lead and to see my son walk through those doors and now leave as an outstanding young man, attending college on scholarship; there are no words to describe what I am feeling.

JOE & JOANN MURPHY

LEADERSHIP AND LEGACY Joe Murphy brings his wisdom and influence to everything he touches.

Among his many accolades, Joe merged the bank where he served as Chairman for over thirty years, he enjoyed Board and Board emeritus status at Iona College, Columbia University Medical Center, the Marine Corp Foundation, the Christian Brothers, among others. Along with his wife JoAnn, he had been honored by many of these organizations bestowing on them their highest recognitions for the gifts of their service and philanthropic largess–but something was missing. They needed to do more.

The values and discipline imbued in him growing up in the Inwood section of Manhattan through an Edmund Rice Christian Brothers’ education while a young man at Rice High School, and then continuing at Iona College, and augmented by his service in the United States Marines, brought them back to their inner-city beginnings.

Joe’s career had taken him many places after Iona, from investment banking, with a focus on real estate, to leadership roles in real estate development, hotel and office tower ownership and management, and commercial retail banking.

He had seen two of the Brothers inner-city schools, Power Memorial Academy and his own Rice High School, be lost to the constant long-term struggles of building disrepair and deferred maintenance issues, despite his ardent support.

After accepting an invitation from All Hallows president, Ron Schutté, Mr. and Mrs. Murphy toured the All Hallows building during the early months of 2020, with a special eye on water damage from a leaky roof and rotted drainage system that had decimated the Christian Brothers residence on the third and fourth floor to the point where it was uninhabitable. When the tour had concluded, Jo and JoAnn knew what their next project would be: a revitalization of the great building on 164th Street, including the demolition of and new construction for the Christian Brothers residence.

The Murphy’s immediately offered a $500,000 cash gift as a match to loyal Alumni and Friends of All Hallows. He secured a $250,000 gift from a former business associate and then worked with their bank to secure a loan for $1 million dollars (that Mr. Murphy would guarantee) for the repair and construction costs needed so that the Brothers would have a suitable place to live, and the building damage would cease.

An additional benefit of the construction will be the repurposing of several spaces on the first and second floors that will now be available to the students, faculty and staff for instruction, creativity, and camaraderie.

Much needed repair to the roof and drainage pipes throughout the entire building have been completed, but there is still plenty of important capital improvement work to be done.

18

Unfortunately, in early December of 2020 the covid-19 pandemic invaded the Murphy family, with both Joe and JoAnn testing positive. While Mr. Murphy had little to no symptoms, shocking to everyone who knew and loved her, the always strong and vivacious Mrs. Murphy succumbed to the dreadful disease on December 21st of last year. Because of covid isolation, Joe was not able to visit JoAnn in the hospital, and a void has been created in his life that will never be filled again. The outpouring of tributes to JoAnn Murphy came from far and wide, and her volunteer and Board work at Iona College, the Ursuline School, Immaculate Heart of Mary parish, and the Christian Brothers Foundation, among others will certainly be hard to replace.

“JoAnn was the strongest and smartest person I’ve ever known”, said Joe when reflecting on his late wife. “She would want the vision of the work that has begun at All Hallows, particularly concerning the area where the Christian Brothers will live, to be completed as a welcoming home for the Brothers. After seeking permission from Joe and his family, All Hallows Board chair, Ed Walsh, and school president, Ron Schutté, have announced that, once completed, the remodeled fourth floor will be known as the JoAnn M. Murphy Christian Brothers Residence.

JOANN WAS THE STRONGEST AND SMARTEST PERSON I’VE EVER KNOWN

“It is only fitting that she be honored with the naming of the Brothers residence at All Hallows”, said Br. Kevin Griffith, Provincial of the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers, who was honored to eloquently deliver the eulogy at Mrs. Murphy’s funeral Mass, “of all those who love and support the Brothers and our work, through the years no one ever did more for us than JoAnn and Joe Murphy.

By supporting All Hallows financially, as well as adding sustainability to the building, the Murphy Family continues their decades-long support of educating inner city youth through Edmund Rice Christian Brother schools, and serve as a model of philanthropic leadership and legacy all will benefit from for years to come.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT PEDRO A. REGALADO, Ph.D.

JUNIOR FELLOW, HARVARD SOCIETY OF FELLOWS ALL HALLOWS CLASS OF 2008 I was born in the Dominican Republic and moved to New York with my family when I was 5-years-old. I grew up in the Dyckman and Washington Heights area. After attending All Hallows, I spent about three years at the Community College of Philadelphia where my family moved. I graduated there with an Associates degree in History and Secondary Education (wanting to be like Mr. Kelvin Ramirez). I transferred to Loyola University Chicago and completed a Bachelors in History. I applied to graduate programs in history and was admitted to Yale University’s American Studies Ph.D. program. There, I wrote a dissertation on the history of Latinx workers and businesses in New York since World War II. My project was awarded the Michael Katz Award for Best Dissertation from the Urban History Association in 2020. It was also a finalist for the Ralph Gabriel Henry Prize for Best Dissertation from the American Studies Association in 2019. Broadly speaking, my work has been featured in academic journals like The Journal of Urban History, but also popular venues like Boston Review, The Washington Post, and The Chronicle of Higher Education.

Both of my older brothers attended All Hallows, so it was a natural fit for me.

At that time, I really wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life. On the other hand, I wanted to make money so that my parents’ sacrifices weren’t in vain. I really enjoyed the learning process and history was always my favorite class.

I was part of the baseball team which was very special to me because I had the chance to develop close relationships with my teammates and compete in a sport that I loved. Improving my skills and being confident in myself was always an uphill battle for me, but being part of those teams helped me to face the challenges in front of me head on. I think that those were very, very valuable lessons as I continued to jump over roadblocks in my professional career–always moving forward. I was also the vice-president, a role that helped me to understand the virtue of leadership and service for the people you care about.

I received tremendous mentorship from many teachers who cared so much about my health and wellbeing. These people include Mr. Ramirez, Mr. Ford, Brother Hamilton, and so many others. Learning from them has empowered me to fall in love with the process of mentoring others. Perhaps it is an underrated element of All Hallows, but the mentorship that I received from the folks there was truly formative for me.

I attribute my success to the enormous village that has made it possible. My success belongs to my immediate family as much as it does to me. My close friends at All Hallows and beyond have always believed in me, and, little by little, their faith has empowered me to believe in myself. In terms of personal qualities, I have tried to develop a system of organization over the past decade that has enabled me to break down large ambitious tasks into small steps. All of this, together with a good amount of luck, has placed me in this position.

There is so much advice that I would give students. I think that they should find a balance between enjoying the moment and thinking capaciously about what the future holds. It’s impossible to know where life will take you but continue to refine your individual character while remaining open to change. Keep your friends close to you, even when they’re far away. Think big but move incrementally. Be gracious in all that you do and lead by example. Life has its way of beating you down from time to time, but sunny days are always around the corner.

ANTHONY HILL

IN-DEPTH REPORTER FOR ABC ACTION NEWS (TAMPA BAY) ALL HALLOWS CLASS OF 2010 I grew up on West Farms in the Bronx. After All Hallows, I went to Oswego State University to pursue a bachelor’s degree in journalism and political science. Upon graduating, I started my career at the NBC station in Springfield (western Massachusetts). After that, I moved to Santiago de Chile, where I covered Chile and Latin America for Chilean publications for 4 years. I now work as an in-depth reporter covering underreported communities at the ABC station in Tampa Bay, which is the 12th largest T.V. market in the country.

When I was in elementary school a group of All Hallows men came to speak with us about the school. I still remember how put together and eloquent they were. I wanted to be like them and take part in the legacy that All Hallows men have created. I was also very attracted to AHTV and the chance to learn about videography.

While at All Hallows, I was involved in a lot; student council, track, swim club, and AHTV, to mention a few. AHTV has left the biggest mark on my experience there and later my career. I discovered that I liked the art of broadcast journalism and the power television journalism could have on advancing our society and bringing social topics to light. I truly don’t believe I’d be where I am now without All Hallows and AHTV. I never doubted my capabilities when I was younger. The teachers and administrators literally drill in your head that you are destined for greatness and when you hear that so often, you believe it. I try to take that with me throughout life: I’m destined for greatness and with hard work and determination, I can attain anything.

If there’s something you want to accomplish/achieve, go after it. A lot of times what holds us back is our own personal doubt and I personally know that to be true. Also, remember to make decisions in life that make you happy. Life is too short to live for others and have regrets.

MELVIN SANTIAGO PINA WHARTON MBA STUDENT ALL HALLOWS CLASS OF 2009

I grew up in Washington Heights and the Bronx, to an immigrant family from the Dominican Republic. I come from a working-class family, my father was a janitor and my mother was an assistant to a school aid at Bushwick high school. I am a first-generation college student, who attended Baruch College and studied Economics and Law & Policy. After Baruch College I worked as a investment banking analyst at Citigroup for three years, before joining an M&A boutique firm named Robert Baird. Afterwards, I worked at a Private Equity firm named ICV Partners where I worked as an associate for two years prior to Business School. Currently I’m in my second year at Wharton Business School and also obtaining a masters in international studies through the Lauder Program at the University of Pennsylvania.

As a child, what brought me to All Hallows was the discipline factor. All of my brothers attended other schools and I noticed a behavioral difference that was disabling them from tapping into their true potential and achieving their goals. Growing up in the Bronx, I wanted to be disciplined to adopt a set of routines and a code by which to operate so that I could become more accountable in the real world. At the time, my aspirations were to go to a competitive college and learn how to acquire businesses, thankfully I am now living what I set out to achieve nearly 15 years ago. Had All Hallows not provided me with this discipline, I would not be prepared nor mature enough to have sponsors buy into my story nor me as a person.

I played freshman and junior varsity basketball. As my family became more financially challenged, All Hallows helped me secure my first job as a junior at a printing press known as B Squared. This job gave me dignity and reinforced my work ethic, it also kept me away from environmental temptations while enabling me to support my family. I also received assistance through the SSP Program (Student Sponsor Partners).

Success comes from grit and fallibility. I think taking risks and failing are elements that should be more celebrated, as they have certainly helped shape my personal success. From time to time reflect on what you would like your purpose to be in your community, in your education, in your job and in this world more broadly. Then reflect on how you can position yourself to fulfill that purpose and what help and support you’ll need to do so. There are always more people willing to help you than you have utilization for.

IN THE CLASSROOM

THE ACTING COMPANY TEACHES JULIUS CAESAR TO ALL HALLOWS SOPHOMORES - PAUL FONTANA

During the week of May 10, All Hallows welcomed our long-time arts partner, The Acting Company, into the Tenth Grade English classes to bring Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar to life. Teaching Artists Gabriel Lawrence (who holds an MFA from UC San Diego) and Myxolydia Tyler (who trained at Brown University) worked for two sessions each with Mr. Campbell’s and Mr. Grogan’s classes.

They challenged the students to look at Shakespeare’s text not as a piece of literature on a page but to approach as actors do–as a series of clues to uncovering character and theme.

The students were led to reflect on how actors, directors, and designers make choices–informed by the script–to help the audience unlock the play’s complexities. The students compared clips of different productions to see how Shakespeare’s language both inspired the different choices and was changed by them. A variety of tools were presented for opening up the script, tools which, we hope, will stay part of the students’ close-reading toolbox.

With these new tools and the freedom to explore, the students were assigned different pieces of the script and were tasked with making informed choices as if they were acting, directing, and designing.

Julius Caesar has elements of a political thriller, a family drama, a ghost story, and a war story which makes it a perfect work to explore in this way.

On the afternoon of May 13, members of the Company met with the All Hallows Players–fresh off their Spring play, a Zoom version of Treasure Island–for a discussion of careers in the performing arts.

In addition to the All Hallows actors, we welcomed students from The Academy of Mt. St. Ursula, St. Barnabas, Dominican Academy, St. Catherine Academy, and St. Vincent Ferrer.

NEW PARTNERSHIPS In the tradition of pursuing excellence in all endeavors All Hallows High School has continued to foster partnerships with our local colleges and universities in the New York metropolitan area. Through these partnerships we are able to give our students the opportunity to access, participate in and take advantage of college level academics while gaining college credit simultaneously as they work their way towards an All Hallows Diploma. This Fall All Hallows is proud to announce our newest partnership with St. Francis College. Through the St. Francis College Bridge Plus Program, our students will have the chance to attend and take college level courses in the areas of organization and management, introduction to entrepreneurship, and business law all while gaining college credit. This partnership with St. Francis College adds to our already successful partnership with St. John’s University’s College Advantage Program where our young men have the opportunity to take both United States History and Literature and Composition in addition to simultaneously gaining college credit as they work their ways through All Hallows High School. An All Hallows education continues to be and always will be set on the foundations of a strong academic curriculum with high expectations on a quest for excellence to best serve our students.

ACHIEVING EXCELLENCE All Hallows is partnering up with Fordham University for a semester-long Youth Participatory Action Research Program (YPAR). This research program offers our students an opportunity to work in teams and examine issues facing young people in their communities. 11 of our juniors and seniors will be taking advantage of this new partnership with Fordham University, collaborating with undergraduates and co-investigators to generate hypotheses while engaging in ethics training, data collection and analysis.

AMAZON PRIME STUDENTS TAKE TIME TO TALK COLLEGE DANIEL HAYNES

As the pandemic continues to present challenges to online learning, sophomores and juniors at All Hallows High School were given over 200 ‘reasons’ to stay motivated from Amazon Prime Students through St. John’s University organization EDEN. Organized by senior Media Arts Teacher and St. John’s Alum Mr. Daniel Haynes, the event took place with over 200 students, some All Hallows teachers and administrators all sitting to talk with a panel with over 200 students, some All Hallows teachers and administrators all sitting to talk with a panel from the university.

Moderating the event was Amazon Prime Student Campus Manager Nnaemeka Ifeajekwu, and a panel from EDEN which featured organization President Joel Edouard, alongside Co-Vice Presidents Keilah Jones Martin and Stanlia Perry.

“EDEN is the intersection of faith and creativity, we’re just a community that thrives on sharing our gifts and talents, developing our gifts and talents, and also just understanding that all that just comes from our faith in God...” said Joel Edouard, President of EDEN addressing the meet.

The panel answered questions about their college experiences.

Questions ranged from picking their college major to adjusting to life during the pandemic, to what they wish they knew before entering college.

“You have to find balance. In high school teachers are behind you, in college you’re put into this position where you have to be independent and manage your time. It’s not always the easiest transition.

At the end of the event, Principal Susan Natale and President Ron Schutté both expressed their thanks to EDEN with Schutté adding the closing remarks. “That’s priceless information for our kids, St. John’s must be very proud to have all of you as students there, I wish you all the best, thank you for your time.”

OUT OF THE CLASSROOM THE ENGINEERING CLUB NICHOLAS POWERS The Engineering Club brings Science, Math, Engineering, and Technology to our students through laboratory projects hosted by Engineering Tomorrow and presentations on cutting-edge STEM topics by speakers eminent in their field.

The Engineering Tomorrow 3D Printing Lab has given students access to design a small object of their own creation using the state-of-the-art software. They are in the process of completing and submitting their designs. We were also happy to welcome (virtually) Dr. Travis Scholten, who discussed his research at IBM’s Quantum Computing Lab and how this research is changing the world.

We live in a world that more and more depends on new technologies into everyday life especially during the pandemic. The ability to integrate them in whatever field of study our students want to pursue will give them an edge to compete in the job market, as well as teach them how to see the connections among the different disciplines. Even someone who will not work in a STEM field can benefit by adopting these problem-solving skills!

GAELS GAMERS AND GAEL GAMERS - DAMIAN VERUTES The All Hallows Gamers Club meets weekly in order to foster team-building and socialization in students of different homerooms and class years. The senior and junior club captains lead activities each week for students as well as host tournaments for club members.

Through their participation in the All Hallows Gamers many students have formed friendships lasting through high school and beyond.

The Gael Gamers Varsity Overwatch team competes against high schools from across the country through the Electronic Gaming Federation’s high school division EGFH. The students who play for the team practice 3-4 days per week, developing different team compositions and devising new plays to out strategize the competition. Team members work hard and play hard each week as they represent their school by High-Nooning, Earth Shattering, Death-Blossoming, and RIP-tiring their way to victory. In the 2019-2020 school year, the team qualified for the national finals, and, most recently, the team qualified for division playoffs.

Stay tuned for updates about whether the talented tanks, DPS players, and supports of the team qualify for national finals again this year!

GAELS COOKING CLUB - HOLLY ODDO The Cooking Club may not have come into being were it not for the pandemic. Since clubs and activities were being conducted remotely, I surveyed students at the beginning of the year and asked: What clubs do you wish we had at All Hallows?

Somewhat surprisingly, a cooking club was one of the most popular responses. I had a renewed interest in cooking myself, due to the time spent in lockdown, so I decided to go for it.

Paul Fontana pointed out that Notre Dame High School had a foodie club (he had seen on Instagram), so I reached out to their admin to find out how they were doing it. Their moderator got back to me and was super helpful, giving me the template that they used, and that I use here at All Hallows. The club meets (via Google Meet) on Wednesday afternoons, so over the weekend, I decide what dish we will make that week, and I post the ingredients and recipe; I also try to include videos whenever possible. Then we all log in from our kitchens on Wednesdays and cook! Students send me photos of their finished meals/dishes when they are done. Hearing how pleased they sound at the end of a session, when they have successfully finished the meal, or when they tell me it tastes good, or their dad loved it.

Cooking is an important skill that everyone should learn, but many don’t–especially boys. Learning how to cook teaches students organizational and multitasking skills; additionally, it teaches them to have patience, and they learn that not everything comes out perfectly the first time you attempt it–but you do get better with time and practice. It helps them to be independent and to develop confidence in themselves. It encourages experimentation and risk-taking, and perhaps most importantly, it allows us an opportunity to connect and share with the people we love.

MOCK TRIAL CLUB - STEVEN R. CAMPBELL The New York State High School Mock Trial Program is a joint venture of The New York Bar Foundation, the New York State Bar Association, and the Law, Youth, and Citizenship Program.

Students can gain first-hand knowledge of civil/criminal law and courtroom procedures.

Also, an exciting aspect of Mock Trial is traveling to the Manhattan law firm and obtaining highquality training from experienced attorneys.

While we could meet with our attorney coaches remotely, it was not as memorable as being in a real firm. Also, our new members missed the extraordinary experience of competing in an actual criminal courthouse.

The late-night practices before the competition resulted in an authentic bonding experience. Our team worked hard, competed hard, and truly supported each other. We all shared a common goal, which was to represent All Hallows well. Mock Trial allows students to experience working with professional litigators and experience the thrill of trying a case in an actual courtroom before a real judge. Students learn ethics, civility, and professionalism while acquiring an understanding of the law, court procedures, and the legal system. Further, Mock Trial can improve basic life skills, such as listening, speaking, reading, and reasoning, while also stimulating interest in law-related careers.

ENGINEERING TOMORROW MARK SAUSTO The Engineering Tomorrow Program is a very unique program that helps open up the engineering world to our students here at All Hallows. Our students get the experience of working on many enjoyable labs such as 3D Printing, Catapults, Robotics, Bridge Building, etc.

They also get the opportunity to hear presentations from all types of engineers and guest speakers. This program really has been catching fire the last few years, and in my opinion will continue to expand and keep the students coming back for more.

FUTURES AND OPTIONS - MARK SAUSTO Futures and Options is a program that has been a constant staple here at All Hallows ever since I arrived here in 2014 as well as years before my time. It is one of the most prestigious programs that the All Hallows students can be offered to be a part of. This outside entity provides students with skills of the future such as resume writing, interviewing skills, how to dress professionally, career readiness, etc. These skills are taught in the Futures and Options Career Essentials Program. Once the students turn sixteen, they can join Futures and Options Internship Program. This Internship Program pairs the student with a professional in the area of work that the student is interested in and is in fact a paid internship.

NATIONAL HISPANIC INSTITUTE (N.H.I.) - MARK SAUSTO The N.H.I. is a program that prepares our students to become future leaders. This program is all about communication, along with having faith in yourself and your community. Their LDZ and GDX programs have many unique activities and field trips for our students. The Great Debate is one of this program’s main highlights. Students have expressed to me that this program has helped them make connections and especially friendships that they feel will last a lifetime.

Steven Hernandez an All Hallows alum is one of the spearheads of the N.H.I. that plays a huge role in keeping the All Hallows engaged and returning yearly.

ALL HALLOWS

ATHLETICS WE’RE BACK!!!!

After a tumultuous Fall and Winter season which saw the Gaels absent from the field and court, this Spring saw the return of the Blue and White to the diamond and the links. After missing the Spring 2020 season due to COVID-19, our teams not only returned but have also enjoyed success in their respective sports. Our golfing Gaels who compete in undoubtedly one of the toughest leagues in the country, made great strides and with the addition of a few key Freshman; appear headed toward a very productive next few seasons on the links. Our 2021 graduating baseball players will go down in Gael’s history as arguably the most productive class in the history of All Hallows baseball. Our Seniors will attend universities such as Wesleyan University (Ethan and Evan Diaz), University of Cincinnati (Marcus Smith), Dominican College (Luis Escotto), Russell Sage University (Richard Illa-Acosta and Anderson Almanzar) and Monroe College (Pablo Castillo).

This group of Seniors will join other active alum who grace the college rosters of Cornell University (Elijah Diaz–older brother of Ethan and Evan), University of Maryland (Aaron Perez) and SUNY Cobleskill (Frank Leger) who are pursuing their college degrees and chasing the ultimate dream of joining their Gael brothers James Norwood (San Diego Padres/MLB) and Stephen Alemais (Pittsburgh Pirates/MiLB) at the professional level.

There is a lot to look forward to as the Spring winds down and we return in the Fall to see our Track, Soccer, Bowling and Basketball teams make their return to action. We look forward to your continued engagement in All Hallows High School and following along in the journeys of our student/athletes as they pursue their dreams in both the classroom and on their respective fields, lanes, tracks and courts of choice.

GO GAELS!!!

ll Hallows demonstrates how one generation can help the next by perpetuating a culture of philanthropy, among alumni, community members, and future generations of All Hallows students.

R emembering All Hallows in your Estate Planning The All Hallows family is known for its generosity–to its churches, communities and Alma Mater. Individuals and couples find planned giving to be an attractive way to leave a lasting legacy because a planned gift is often much larger, when fully realized, than any fight they could make during their lifetime. Planned gifts thus offer the opportunity to make a signature statement about one’s values and philanthropic desire to help others.

The idea of establishing a bequest may seem daunting and a common misconception is that a bequest means one thing and one thing only–a gift of a specific asset as defined in a will, given for a groups’ general operating needs. In fact, there are many options available for establishing a bequest that give you the opportunity to provide for your family while also giving to an organization this is meaningful to you.

A BEQUEST CAN BE DESIGNATED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS: You can direct your gift to be restricted to a particular use within All Hallows, such as a scholarship fund.

A residuary bequest gives the remainder of an estate to All Hallows after all other beneficiaries are addressed.

A contingent bequest gives All Hallows a gift only in the event that the will’s primary beneficiary doesn’t survive the donor.

You do not have to leave specific assets, such as a parcel of land or a certain dollar amount of investments, to a beneficiary. You can simply leave a specified percentage of your estate’s value to the charitable organization.

Finally, All Hallows may be named as a beneficiary of other assets, such as life insurance, IRAs and other retirement plans. Again, if you don’t wish to leave the entirety of such an asset to All Hallows, you can specify a percentage of the value to be given instead.

Giving can often be facilitated by simply changing the beneficiary on a retirement plan or life insurance. Making a bequest can offer a means of preserving an individual’s or family’s current support of All Hallows into the future.

Please contact Ron Schutté, President of All Hallows, with questions regarding ways to give: Second Century Campaign | allhallows.org | Ron Schutté 718.293.4545 x136 31
