Office of the PRESIDENT

Dear Friends, One of the initiatives in our new strategic plan that went into effect this past school year is to review the Academy’s mission statement and to update and amend it if necessary. It is critical for an institution like the Academy to conduct this type of review periodically to determine if the mission statement continues to capture the essence of the school. Questions such as “Why do we exist?”, “What is our core purpose?” and “Who are we serving?” need to be asked and answered succinctly, not only by those of us who work and attend school here but by all stakeholders. During the past few years, the Academy has seen many changes. The addition of the Bailey Family Center for the Arts, the Holy Names Heritage Center and the middle school renovation have altered the face of the campus, while new thinking about how students learn has impacted our curriculum and how teachers deliver instruction. Students graduate and new students enter; teachers leave or retire and new teachers replace them. The school, like most organizations, is constantly evolving. It is precisely because of these changes that a mission statement reflective of the school’s values and the mission of the Sisters is more important than ever. It is the rock to which our ship is anchored, and even though the precise language may change, the underlying principles remain the same—to develop the spiritual, academic, personal and physical growth of each student in an atmosphere of care and concern. To that end, a committee was assembled to accomplish the task. Members included Director of Marketing and Communications Emily Wise, High School Principal Stephanie Nitchals, Elementary School Principal Bridgid Fishman, Mission Effectiveness Coordinator Sister Ann Regan, High School Learning Resource Specialist Danica Rodriguez (A’08), Athletic Director Kevin Vargas, High School Chemistry Teacher Rebeca Zambrano, Middle School English Teacher Mary Alice Lopez (A’83) and me. The revised mission statement appears on the Academy’s new website that recently went live. It reads as follows:

ARTHUR RAIMO President

The Academy of the Holy Names empowers students to be authentic individuals who engage in independent thought, are inspired by creativity, and lead culturally aware, spiritually rich lives. The mission reflects the core values of the Sisters of the Holy Names and the school’s motto “Esse Quam Videri,” or “To be, rather than to seem.” In addition to the need for authenticity, the vision calls students to develop their full potential and encourages them to be faith-filled, inquisitive, innovative, independent and just. The Academy has a rich and storied history and tradition of making this mission come alive for its students. We will continue to evolve and improve while remaining true to the core values and principles that make this school the special place that it is. Sincerely,

Arthur Raimo President

6TH GRADE CULTURE FAIR

Lucas Perez and Gabe Alvarado pitched the Culture Fair to administration so they could learn more about their classmates’ heritage.

Academy of the Holy Names 6th-grade students put elements of their cultural heritage on display during the school’s inaugural Culture Fair; a celebration of countries, cultures and cuisines. From demonstrating European musical instruments to serving traditional Central American foods, students highlighted the rich backgrounds found within the AHN community.

Dieck stated, “We wanted to do something cross-curricular, and this idea was the perfect blend of everything. The kids were the ones that really drove that.”

Academy students come from a wide array of cultural heritages and traditions. Hoping to better address this diversity, 6th-grade students Gabe Alvarado and Lucas Perez pitched the idea of having a cultural fair to the administration. Their goal: to celebrate the uniqueness of each student by fostering awareness and respect of the different cultures within AHN and the larger community. Alvarado said, “I got the idea from my last school. We had a project in language arts where we each presented on our countries of origin, and I enjoyed sharing that with my classmates.”

Families entering Academy’s Brady Center were greeted by the smells of delicious food from more than 20 different countries. Student-led informational booths lined the room where visitors could try ethnic delicacies, view pieces of traditional art and clothing, and learn general information about a particular country. “Just seeing everyone happy, that was my favorite part. [Students] got to try food from different countries, talk to their friends about their culture, and just share in something really special,” said Perez.

With the guidance of Curriculum Specialist Tricia Dieck and Assistant Principal Becky Elliot, an interdisciplinary project was created in which students collaborated with

RACHEL TATA ENDS HIGH SCHOOL CAREER

on a High Note

Rachel Tata (A’17) was selected for the 2017 Performance Series at Carnegie Hall, taking the stage with the Women’s Choir. Participation in one of the honors ensembles is limited to the highest ranked high school performers across North America and a select number of international schools. The series challenges elite students to perform at their best. Tata rehearsed and performed under master conductors and performed before representatives from collegiate and professional music programs. This opportunity enabled Tata to expand her performance résumé and not only work but interact with the best vocal students from across the world. The Carnegie Hall process started last June when Tata auditioned for the Honors Performance Series. Upon careful review, she was selected as a participant by the Honors Selection Board. Acceptance into this elite group is a direct result of the talent, dedication and achievement demonstrated in her application and audition recording. More than 18,000 nominations were processed, and only 750 student performers were selected. Tata traveled to New York in February and spent four days with renowned conductor Tim Seeling, working on dynamics, volume and collaboration in a choir setting. After many long rehearsals, Tata took to one of the biggest stages in music. “I was more excited and eager to get up there and sing, as opposed to being nervous or scared, because I was comfortable and confident with what I was singing. I knew that 140 girls had my back, we all knew what we were doing, and we had an amazing conductor that was there to help us every step of the way,” Tata said.

The first time we walked out on that stage at Carnegie Hall was absolutely breathtaking; it was like a dream. The hall is everything you could imagine and more. - Rachel Tata (A’17)

At the Academy, Tata participated in the Theatre Club and was a member of Theatre Troupe #8046. During her senior year, she earned Superior rating in her solo, small group and large group performances at the Florida Thespian District 9 I.E. Festival, which advanced her to the state competition. She also performed for AHN as a member of the Quarter Notes, Jaguarettes and a variety of theatre productions. Tata stated, “I never had to hide what I loved to do [performing] or who I was during my time at Academy because I always felt accepted and acknowledged for my hard work. I could always be myself, and that really pushed me to go for my dreams and try to get into a musical theatre program that would prepare me to perform as a career.” Tata will continue pursuing her passion for musical theatre this fall, attending The Boston Conservatory at Berklee. She is majoring in musical theatre and will concentrate on acting, speech, voice, movement, theatre history and more. She stated, “I want to be able to work on amazing projects with inspiring people and coworkers in the industry who I can learn from and engage with. I want to keep telling stories through performance and find and connect with characters and audiences.”

SUMMER 2017

Feature STORY In April, the Academy celebrated the opening of the 40,000-square-foot, $11 million Bailey Family Center for the Arts. The Center features a 350seat theatre and a state-of-the-art teaching and learning environment. The new facility provides a dedicated space for the arts, allowing the school to enhance its offerings and honor the Sisters of the Holy Names’ longstanding devotion to art, music and drama. Courses will include visual, dance and instrumental offerings, as well as acting and technical theatre skills, permitting students multiday production runs and providing a professional theatre experience. According to Academy President Art Raimo, “As we developed a facilities master plan in 2014, there was a need to grow our arts program, particularly in the high school. Part of the effort involved hiring additional faculty and staff but also creating an appropriate space that is consistent with the school’s mission. The Center provides a space that meets 21st century standards and allows our students to create and to perform.” Middle school acting teacher Kelly Hoffman is excited to add a technical arm to her curriculum. “Being able to offer a technical theatre class is a wonderful opportunity for our middle schoolers to experience real-world theater in an educational setting. They will be able to take this information into high school, community theaters and beyond,” she said. High school performing arts faculty member Vivian Kimbler feels the space will improve student learning. “As an educator, I want my students to succeed and receive the best instruction possible. Although lesson plans and educational goals are the foundation of learning, the environment also plays a strong role in the success and support of every student. Materials, décor, furniture, nutrition, positivity, consistency, and clear rules and expectations are all facets of a productive student learning experience and effective classroom setup. With the completion of the Center, our students have all the tools at their fingertips to succeed!” Significant gifts that made construction possible include Barbara and Anthony Scarpo ($1.35 million), the Bailey Family Foundation ($1 million), and $500,000 from the Yodzis Family, Kathleen and Ray Hyer, and Ruth and Fred Lynch.

GRADUATION

Class of 2017 On Thursday, May 25, the Academy of the Holy Names celebrated the 110 young women from the Class of 2017 at their graduation ceremony. Together, members of the class were accepted into 139 colleges and universities, served more than 33,683 community service hours, and included 87 who graduated with honors, 50 who are members of National Honor Society and seven who are continuing their athletic careers in college. In total, 79 percent of the class was offered more than $13.8 million in scholarships, including 81 percent who qualified for Bright Futures. In addition, the class raised $81,388 for an endowed scholarship for the school. In lieu of a traditional valedictory address, Elizabeth Dolan addressed the audience with a poem she wrote about her classmates and the potential their futures hold.

“… Because they don’t comprehend the fire I see, the burning inside of you that won’t die out so easily, and when they question your position, doubt your intuition, comment on your disposition, you won’t just sit back and listen, you will breathe with fire and tell them that being a woman in this world is NOT an imposition. “It’s an edge, a skill, an ability to empathize when no one else will, it’s the characteristics that will fill the gap between our society and the ill will that has brought it to a standstill. “So, when you get out there, when you are scared, and doubting why you even dared to take the opportunity, just remember one thing. “This sisterhood? It isn’t some false chant we sing. Together we are the crack in the glass that will shatter this ceiling. …”

In April, Academy students and friends cut loose in “Footloose,” the final high school production to run in the Brady Center. Based on the 1984 film, “Footloose” tells the story of a Chicago teenager who moves to a small town in which dancing and rock music have been banned due to the efforts of a local minister. In an Academy twist, however, the original roles were recast to accommodate female leads. In total, 75 students from the Academy and Tampa community participated in the cast and crew.

IN FACE OF ADVERSITY, SOFTBALL TEAM MAKES FIRST STATE APPEARANCE

The team celebrates Alexis Miniet’s game-winning homerun.

It all started with a number: ONE. While that may seem self-focused, the 2016-2017 softball team was anything but. They were ONE team—AHN softball—ONE group of girls who pushed each other to achieve the ultimate result. For the six seniors on the team, the goal to reach state-series competition started four years ago. Despite the program reaching the region final in past seasons, the opportunity to play at states had eluded them. The seniors knew that their dream was achievable if they relied on each other. According to co-captain Alexis Miniet (A’17), “This year we really wanted to have a bond with the other girls on the team. Bonding is so important—that bond led to our success.” That bond propelled the team through a season of challenges. It was perhaps the reason that the district championship loss to rival Tampa Catholic (TC) made the team hungrier for a regional champion title. This was the most memorable game of the season according to co-captains Miniet and

SUMMER 2017

Haley Morrell (A’17). Morrell knew the team could make it through. “We had beaten TC all year, then we lost to them in the district final. Because of this, we were more fired up than any other game. We were down in the game, but not one person in the dugout ever questioned our ability to come back and win. When our bats came around, there was no stopping us.”

this season. “The unity that this group had is what ultimately led to the run that we made. What was achieved this year was earned and it was a total team effort, from the players to the coaching staff. The girls put in a tremendous amount of work, and having the opportunity to see that work pay off as the first team to advance to states was extremely rewarding.”

Earning the school’s first regional championship was a major victory in itself, but defeating TC for the title made it that much sweeter. It was a homerun by Miniet, the hardest she has ever hit the ball, that sealed the victory. For Morrell, “When we got the last out of that game, there was a feeling that I still cannot describe.”

For Morrell, the season was summed up similarly, “I want this team’s legacy to be not only that we were the first team to go to states but that we really did embrace the team motto of ONE. There is no ‘I’ in team, and without every person on this team, we would not have been able to accomplish what we did.”

The trip to states is something the team will likely never forget. Although they fell 5-6 to West Palm Beach Oxbridge Academy, the team is proud not only of their historymaking season but also for the example they set on and off the field, something coach Kevin Vargas was most proud of

The team would like to thank all of the fans who came out to every game, their parents for providing the opportunity to play and their coaches for stepping up and putting the team back on its path to a history-making season.

BLACK AND WHITE BY THE BAY

RAISES $400,000 The Academy of the Holy Names annual fundraising gala, Black and White By the Bay, raised more than $400,000 for the school’s annual fund. At the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay on March 25, there were 500 Academy parents, alumni, faculty, staff and guests donned in their finest black-and-white attire (and sometimes pink, this year’s accent color) to enjoy an evening featuring a silent and live auction, Wine Wall, Kendra Scott jewelry pull, fine dining, a specialty mini Bundt cake buffet and lively entertainment from DeLeon. Academy parents Laurie Cuva and Mary Beth Schnell seamlessly chaired the event with the help of more than 25 dedicated, creative and tireless committee members. The generosity of Academy patrons was evident even before the evening’s event began, with Integrity Motors and Faces of South Tampa signing on as lead sponsors and Vera and Greg Muzzillo of Proforma handling all print, promotions and marketing—helping sponsorships reach a record high. New this year, was a Champagne Bubbly Bar sponsored by Style Me New and a Cigar Bar sponsored by Quorum Services. Another highlight of the evening was the announcement that Academy parents Barbara and Anthony Scarpo contributed $1.35 million to help fund the AHN facilities master plan and endowment. The theatre in the Bailey Family Center for the Arts has been named the Scarpo Family Theatre in honor of their daughters, Olivia and Sophia. The Scarpos felt inspired to give to the Academy after seeing the education it has offered their daughters. During the live auction, a record-breaking $114,400 was raised, including $50,000 for the fund-an-item campaign to specifically support STEM initiatives, including launching the “Project Lead the Way” engineering program in the High School and enhancing the middle school robotics program. A special thanks to our lead Fund-an-Item donors Tiffany and Steve Yerrid, Linda and Tom Holt, Karen and Lance Zingale, and the Garcia family. The “Gas for a Year” raffle (generously donated by the Capitano Family and Radiant Food Stores), the Golden Ticket and the heated bidding during the live auction also made for great excitement.

Plans are already in the works, so save the date for next year’s Black and White By the Bay on March 24, 2018!

Celebrating 10 Years

OF THE LINK SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM Since its inception during the 2006-2007 school year, the Link Scholarship program has been committed to providing full scholarships to qualifying rising 9th-grade, ethnically diverse girls demonstrating financial need. The Academy’s pledge to attracting a more diverse student body is at the core of its mission to develop global perspectives within the school community.

SUMMER 2017

In the past 10 years, 24 young women have graduated from the program. While the number of scholarship recipients has varied from year to year, the Academy has met its goal of offering five students the opportunity to enter the program each year. For the 2017-2018 school year, 21 students will participate in the program, including five freshmen. “As the program has grown, so too has its reputation in the Tampa community. Prospective students go through the same selection process as any other rising freshman and are chosen based on their promise for success

DEVELOPMENT

at the Academy as well as all they will contribute to the school,” said Director of Admissions Pam Doherty. Link Scholarship program students are encouraged to become fully engaged in the many clubs, community service, arts and athletics programs offered outside the classroom.

In looking back at each of the girls who have graduated from the program, it is evident that they have embraced their Academy experience and strive for successful careers in the future. However, it is not just the Link Scholars who benefit from an Academy education.

Additionally, high school faculty member Stacy Filocco has been named Link Scholarship program director, serving as a liaison between school faculty, administration and Link Scholar families. In doing so, Filocco and the Academy are trying to ensure the girls assimilate within the community as smoothly and quickly as possible.

“The school community, and in particular the student body, is enriched by these girls because they each offer different points of views to their peers,” Academy President Art Raimo said. “Each of the Link Scholars, including those in the Class of 2017 and their predecessors, has contributed an abundance of talent and treasures to the school.”

13th Annual Visiting Artist EMILY O’LOUGHLIN (A’09) ARCHITECTURE

SUMMER 2017

article by Keri Kelly (A’17)

On Thursday, Feb. 9, the Academy hosted the annual Visiting Artist showcase, held this year at the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts. The event featured Emily O’Loughlin (A’09), who attended The Catholic University of America and studied sacred spaces and cultural studies through architecture. O’Loughlin earned both a bachelor’s and master’s degree there. She now lives in Washington, D.C., where she works for the firm MG2 Design, which specializes in big-box designs, including Costco and Target wholesale projects along the East Coast. During her graduate studies, O’Loughlin designed a women’s center and worked on a collaborative project in Ireland called the Spirit of Place project, where students in her graduate program designed a stone alter that originated from a poem the group wrote based on the famine. O’Loughlin believes the majority of entry-level architects work to execute other people’s designs by making construction documents and facilitating communication between the many actors in the construction process, but she also believes creative license in architecture comes with time and experience. “As you work up through the field, you can become the principal or partner of a firm, and you can make other people do your designs,” she said. Her greatest influence is Zaha Hadid, who was the first female architect to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the highest honor in the field. O’Loughlin studied gendered spaces and female representation in architecture in her last year of graduate school, and she is inspired by Hadid’s work because of its infusion of classic feminine shapes and lines. “Architecture is a male-dominated field … she broke into a guys’ group,” O’Loughlin said of Hadid.

Emily O’Loughlin (A’09)

Former Academy art teacher Sharon West, who taught AP Art Studio and AP Art History to O’Loughlin, said she is not surprised by O’Loughlin’s success. “She’s just talented, so creative and generous of spirit.” Lara Lontoc (A’17) said, “It was really cool to see how she took what she learned in high school and how that catapulted her into what she’s doing now. … It seems to have really helped to figure out what she wanted to do with her life.” Gabbie Ragano (A’17), an aspiring architect admitted to the University of Virginia architecture program, said she gained a new perspective on what life as a young architect is like from O’Loughlin’s presentation. “You really have to work your way up, and it is a bit more grueling than I thought. However, everything she said about architecture got me even more excited to start learning about it next year.” Throughout her presentation, O’Loughlin emphasized that architecture is more than just pure design; there are copious business skills required. “[Architecture] is a very collaborative process that involves the designer, the clients, the contractors, local building departments, as well as the community,” O’Loughlin said. “It is never just our own building, but one that is given through us to others.”

Silver Coffee

&ROSE Ceremony

In May, 110 young women and their families enjoyed the Silver Coffee and Rose Ceremony, an 85-year-old tradition at the Academy. Hosted by the HNAA and the Mothers Association, attendees enjoyed coffee, tea sandwiches and sweet treats. After coffee, the seniors descended the front staircase and each received a pink rose. Following the Silver Coffee and Rose Ceremony, the seniors and their mothers proceeded to the Chapel of Blessed Marie Rose Durocher for the Alumni Induction Ceremony. Each senior signed the HNAA membership book, lit a candle and received a certificate of alumni status. Jackie Barron (A’87) spoke about her time at the Academy, telling the seniors, “What you have learned here will serve you out there. The confidence born here sustains you out there. The certainty of self you wear like a badge of honor—out there it will get dented—but it endures because you were here. So, my advice as you prepare to step through that next doorway: take a little of here, there. … Forge forward, but never forget where you came from.”
