Sacred Heart Schools’ Jean Frazier Leadership Institute shows every Valkyrie she is a servant leader and how to use that knowledge and experience to make the world a better place. The administrative and counseling teams are dedicated to each student’s distinct path, connection, and growth, while simultaneously fostering community, compassion, and engagement. From arts to athletics and everything in between, the dedication and commitment of SHA’s faculty, staff, and students to sharing their gifts and talents are incredible.

WOMEN in LEADERSHIP

This fall, one of our many distinguished alumnae visited with the student body as part of the Jean Frazier Leadership Institute programming at SHA.

Lucy Helm, an SHA graduate from the class of 1975, retired in 2020 after a prestigious 21-year career at Starbucks Coffee. She worked through both legal and human resources roles, including General Counsel, Executive Vice President, and Chief Partner Officer. Lucy currently serves as a member of the Leadership Cabinet for the Jean Frazier Leadership Institute (JFLI).

While at Starbucks, Lucy was a champion of diversity, equity, and inclusion, including leading the company’s achievement of gender and racial pay equity in the U.S. She also created Starbucks’ pro bono services program, which became a model for other corporate law departments. She is now the Global Chair of the Board for Mercy Corps, a worldwide relief and development organization, in addition to her involvement with JFLI.

Lucy received a Bachelor of Arts with highest honors in political science from the University of Louisville in 1979 and a Juris Doctor, cum laude, from the U of L Brandeis School of Law in 1982. Most recently, Lucy was honored as Alumna of the Year by the University of Louisville on October 20th, 2022.

While a student at SHA, she was the Student Council president and a member of the speech and debate team. She was honored as Alumna

of the Year by Sacred Heart in 2004. We are so blessed to have Lucy’s involvement with JFLI and are sthrilled she could speak with our student body on women’s roles in leadership as well as the importance of ethical leadership.

Introduced by Lucy Doyle '24 (whose grandmother Martha Schulten Martin '65 is a first cousin of Lucy Helm's), and interviewed by Louise Imber '23, Lucy told students about her journey from SHA student to UofL law student to "having a seat at the table" in corporate America.

In Lucy’s words…

What's the most important leadership trait?

“Authenticity. Know who you are!”

“The community of Sacred Heart and the Jean Frazier Leadership Institute will prepare you for both college and the workplace in an extraordinary way.”

“Be prepared and take advantage of every opportunity. You are capable! When there is an opportunity, your hand should be the first to raise.”

“An all-girls education at SHA is a tremendous advantage. The teachers and community teach students that they are strong, and anything is possible.”

How would you describe a Valkyrie?

“A Valkyrie is powerful, loving, respectful, kind."

Valkyrie MENTORS

Addie Meiners `15, joined the SHA Broadcasting class in our WHSA News Studio this fall to discuss her role as a multimedia journalist at WLKY in Louisville. She told the Valkyries about the importance of hard work, networking, and doing the small things that others don’t always want to do. Meiners said these were all skills she learned at SHA and honed at the University of Kentucky and through internships. Thank you, Addie!

LUNCH AND LEARN CAREER MENTOR SERIES

Thanks to Dr. Abby Lavelle Staffieri `04 for coming to our first Lunch and Learn of the year! Our juniors and seniors learned a lot about what a career path in dentistry looks like, and her advice will help them as they begin to set educational and career goals.

Our monthly Lunch and Learn series, a partnership with our alumnae department (led by Megan Brumleve Theisen `95), the Jean Frazier Leadership Institute (led by Lauren Hitron `99), and our counseling department (led by Erin Burke `92 and Ron Padgett), exposes students to different career fields and allows them the opportunity to network with fellow Valkyries. Please reach out to Megan Theisen if you are interested in mentoring our Valkyries!

WhatUnmaskingMatters AT SHA

A large group of lucky Sacred Heart Academy students had the opportunity to sing with and learn from Broadway legends Sandra Joseph and Ron Bohmer this fall. Joseph is best known for her decade-long experience playing Christine, the female lead in “The Phantom of the Opera.” She holds the record for the longestrunning lead in the longest-running Broadway show. Joseph married Ron Bohmer, who played the Phantom alongside her, and the two continue to perform together.

This opportunity grew from a book study at SHA in 2021. Back then, students in the IB Music and Music Theory classes took part in a book study of Sandra Joseph’s book “Unmasking What Matters.” The project was a collaboration between SHA vocal teacher Jill Schurman and Lauren Hitron `99, Director of our Jean Frazier Leadership Institute.

After studying the book together and implementing the tools, students reported feeling less alone and more confident. They realized everyone struggles with self-doubt and learned ways to overcome negative thoughts, perfectionism, and limiting beliefs. One student said, “It helped me realize I don’t have to be perfect to be good enough.” The students talked about the power that comes from women supporting other women, with one student saying, “Someone else’s win isn’t my loss.”

Hitron posted about the experience and tagged the singer. Joseph saw the post and said, “I was so moved and excited about this that I reached out to the teachers, and I did a Zoom call with the girls.”

Joseph wrote the book Unmasking What Matters: 10 Life Lessons From 10 Years on Broadway she said, “with adults in mind to share the best of what I’ve learned about overcoming fear and living an authentic life of meaning and purpose. It took these two amazing teachers to show me how relevant the book was for teens. Lauren Hitron and Jill Schurman helped me recognize that my book lays out a step-by-step lesson plan to help young people prepare to become the leaders of tomorrow – and the ‘Play the Lead’ Project was born.” The Broadway star has stayed in contact with Hitron and Schurman as they continue to assist her in creating the ‘Play the Lead’ book study and program curriculum that can be rolled out to other high schools.

Sacred Heart students sang with Joseph and Bohmer at the end of their Brown Theatre performance for a private client event during the visit. The next day Joseph and Bohmer taught a masterclass for Sacred Heart’s cast of The Sound of Music. This collaboration brought so many wonderful opportunities for our students and memories to last a lifetime.

CAREER DAY

Thank you to the over 70 alumnae and friends of Sacred Heart Academy for their participation in our annual Career Day for juniors and seniors. Featuring 30 separate fields, students chose 3 to rotate through while hearing from presenters on their paths to success – learning about their education, mentors, internships, and general advice –while also experiencing the passion that our alumnae have for giving back to SHA.

We began our morning inviting alumnae and friends to attend a networking breakfast with peers before hearing from the SHA College Counseling staff made up of Ron Padgett and Erin Burke ’92, Jean Frazier Leadership Institute Director Lauren Hitron ’99 and Alumnae Director, Megan Brumleve Theisen ’95. Ron and Erin shared the myriad of ways that they and the full counseling staff at SHA are supporting students through the college admissions process and as of early November, they had offered 20 college counseling programs for students and parents in the first part of the school year. Ms. Hitron shared many great insights with us, including that the number of students receiving leadership scholarships more than doubled from 9% to 20% in just the past year alone. Leadership development is at the core of our curriculum for ALL students at SHA.

We hope to see many of you join us for Career Day 2023, so be sure your contact information is current with our Alumnae Office so that you can receive notices of these opportunities to connect with our Valkyries!

THE OFFICE OF CATHOLIC IDENTITY and URSULINE CHARISM

In July 2021, Mia Cooper was hired as the Director of Equity and Community for Sacred Heart Schools. But as the new Strategic Plan was developed and begun, it became apparent that the role Mia was hired to fill would evolve with the needs of the schools and the Sacred Heart community. The new strategic plan, Sacred Heart Forever, began with this Aspiration: To purposefully engage students and our community in the Ursuline core values, in meaningful service to others, and in opportunities to experience our broader world more deeply.

One of the goals of this aspiration is to build upon and integrate within all schools the teaching mission of Jesus and the inspiration and witness of the Ursuline Sisters’ legacy and mission. In July 2022, Sacred Heart Schools created the Office of Catholic Identity and Ursuline Charism to further these goals and aspirations, consisting of three positions: Vice President of Mission and Community, Director of Mission Formation, and Campus Minister and Catechetical Program Manager.

“The strategic importance of this office moving forward is immeasurable. The Louisville community has been taught and served by the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville for generations. Our duty and privilege are now to carry their mission into the future. We are fortunate to fill these positions with highly qualified and missioncentric Catholic leaders who share a great affection for the Ursuline Charism and a deep devotion to their Catholic faith.” ~Dr. Karen McNay, president.

Mia Cooper accepted the role of Vice President of Mission and Community. She will continue her important work in increasing equity and community in keeping with the Schools’ focus on the Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ and the long-held messages of Catholic Social Teaching.

“I am humbly honored to step into this role standing on the strong foundation set by the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville. From the writings of St. Angela Merici, “With the help of God, you will do much good for others,” I look forward to continuing my service to Sacred Heart School’s mission of building a campus community that inspires diverse learners, empowers amazing faculty and staff and transforms lives for many years to come.”

The new Director of Mission Formation is Jane Cruthirds, an Ursuline Associate. Jane returns to Sacred Heart Schools after two years at St. Michael Catholic Church, where she has served as the Director of Evangelization and Discipleship. Before St. Michael, Jane was a lead Theology teacher at SHA, teaching Paschal Mystery, Ecclesiology, Sacraments, and Christian Morality and was a collaborator in developing the school’s Ursuline Charism course.

“My deep connection to the Ursuline Charism began and was cultivated during my time as a Theology teacher and Service Coordinator at SHA. I look forward to sharing my passion for the Catholic faith and St. Angela with all who work to advance the mission of Sacred Heart Schools.”

Rounding out the office is our Campus Minister and Catechetical Program Manager, Andrea Willinger Hoback `07. Andrea is completing her 10th year leading this ministry. She will continue providing opportunities for our campus to gather as a Catholic community for mass, prayer service, bible study, sacraments, and more.

Celebrating 145 YEARS OF URSULINE EDUCATION

On Tuesday, October 4th, 2022, Sacred Heart Schools celebrated Sacred Heart Schools Day: 145 years of Ursuline Education on the Ursuline Campus in Louisville, Kentucky. The four schools on campus, educating learners of all ages, celebrated the legacy of Ursuline education and pledged to carry the charism of St. Angela and the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville forward into the future.

During the Ursuline Sisters’ expansion of educational sites (1872-1886), Mother Superior Martina Nicklas authorized the purchase of a farm on Workhouse Road (now Lexington Road). On October 4, 1877, the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville opened the Academy of the Sacred Heart (now known as Sacred Heart Academy) in the original three-story mansion on the property. This co-educational school served local children in grades one through twelve. Students came to the Academy from the local countryside, paying modest tuition. Selling farm products and the small tuition from student families gave the sisters their start on what is now Ursuline Campus.

We are thankful for the seeds of Ursuline education planted on Lexington Road in 1877, and we celebrate the Sisters' vision blossoming into Sacred Heart Academy, Sacred Heart Model School, Sacred Heart Preschool, and Sacred Heart School for the Arts.

Honoring our Heritage

Sacred Heart Schools celebrated the blessing of the Ursuline Heritage room in the Motherhouse on October 27, 2022. The blessing ceremony was followed by a viewing of the timeline detailing the establishment and history of Sacred Heart Schools by the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville.

The heritage room was established thanks to the generosity of Barbara Duerr Trompeter, SHA Class of 1950, and her late husband, Bert Trompeter, to honor the Ursuline Sisters. The room’s cases hold artifacts and photos celebrating the service, faith, influence, and legacy of the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville. Sister Jean Anne Zappa, OSU, president, said a beautiful blessing over the space, joined by Dr. Karen McNay, president of Sacred Heart Schools, members of the Trompeter family, and representatives from the Board of Trustees, Ursuline Sisters of Louisville, timeline committee members, and Sacred Heart Schools. Those gathered acknowledged the hard work and dedication of a committee of Ursuline Sisters, Ursuline staff, SHS staff, and alumnae, who so diligently and thoughtfully worked to bring the Ursulines’ legacy on Sacred Heart Schools’ campus to life through the creation of a timeline installed on the walls of the main Motherhouse hallway. The committee who worked for almost two years on the project included: Carol Kunk Butler `68, Sister Martha Jacob `53, OSU, Nannette Mershon `67, Amy Olson, Sister Janet Marie Peterworth, OSU, Sister Judith Rice `62, OSU, Megan Theisen `95, Laurel

Wilson, and Kathy Williams. The timeline was brought to life visually in the hallway that is now used to welcome all guests visiting Sacred Heart Schools. Director of Alumnae Relations, Megan Brumleve Theisen, SHA `95, said, “I like to think that the timeline wraps itself around the Heritage Room – a space that holds great meaning for the Sisters and our communityin a way that represents the love and respect that our community of students, alumni, parents, past faculty and staff have for the Sisters and the gift that they have given us of 145 years of an Ursuline Education on Lexington Road.” A special thanks go to Laurel Wilson for her time and commitment to identifying the photos to tell the story and to Kathy Williams for her outstanding design work.

The intimate group in attendance heard from Dr. McNay and the members of the newly created Office of Catholic Identity and Ursuline Charism at Sacred Heart Schools before having time to peruse and enjoy the timeline. The office consists of Mia Cooper, Vice President of Mission and Community, Jane Cruthirds, Director of Mission Formation, and Andrea Willinger Hoback `07, Campus Minister and Catechetical Program Manager and was created to purposefully engage students and our community in the Ursuline core values, in meaningful service to others, and in opportunities to experience our broader world more deeply.

GENEROSITY and GRATITUDE

On September 27, 2022, we gathered as a community for the Sacred Heart Society Dinner, an event recognizing the generosity of those who support the four thriving schools on Ursuline Campus: Sacred Heart Academy, Sacred Heart Model School, Sacred Heart Preschool, and Sacred Heart School for the Arts. Our hearts are full of gratitude to each member of the Sacred Heart Society for their commitment to our Catholic, Ursuline education and to all who give so generously to our schools.

The generosity of our donors makes our mission possible.

THE 2022 LAUREL AWARD

On this night, we also honored the 2022 Laurel Award recipient, Kristin Stuedle `87. For twenty years, the Laurel Award has been bestowed on a donor who has made generous contributions of time, talent, and treasure to Sacred Heart Schools including consistent and generous financial support of annual fund campaigns, capital campaigns, and other special projects and their commitment to our future success.

Congratulations to Kristin Stuedle SHA '87!

Kristin worked at three Fortune 500 companies early in her career: Fifth Third Bank, Brown and Williamson Tobacco, and YUM Brands. She then joined the family business, a small, thriving CPA firm where she quickly rose to partner. Kristin and her father continued to grow the firm for another 20 years until merging with Blue & Company CPA this January.

We are blessed that Kristin holds Sacred Heart Schools dear to her heart. Kristin has served on the Board of Trustees, SHA Alumnae Board, and numerous committees. Among her favorite accomplishments was working with the Alumnae Board to grow the Class Rep program which she sees as essential to maintaining alumnae support and involvement.

Welcome Home

What brings you the most excitement as you return to the Ursuline Campus to lead our Advancement Department at Sacred Heart Schools?

Returning to Sacred Heart brings me a renewed energy, especially working for and with Dr. Karen McNay, the Ursuline Sisters, the advancement team, the students, faculty, staff and administration, our board, and passionate alums and parents. Sacred Heart was a big part of my life in my formative high school years. My SHA teachers prepared me well for college and life and SHA provided me with some of my best lifelong friends. It is exceptionally rewarding to work to provide an outstanding Catholic education on the Ursuline campus to benefit our students across our four schools. I hope to work hard and strategically with our community to give back a little to SHA as a thank-you for all it gave my sisters and me.

It is exciting to work with and for our four outstanding schools – Sacred Heart School for the Arts, Preschool, Model School, and my alma mater and the BEST all-girls high school in KY, Sacred Heart Academy. I’m truly energized by our committed faculty and staff and passionate and engaged alumnae/ni and parents.

What advice would you share with young women today – especially SHA students –about the field of advancement and what it can mean for institutions like Sacred Heart?

The field of advancement is exceptionally rewarding because you have an opportunity to share your passion and enthusiasm for a cause or nonprofit to help transform lives. I am especially passionate about education and certainly Catholic education because I believe education is at the root of solving all our community’s challenges. Catholic education creates ethical, compassionate leaders who become teachers, doctors, lawyers, nurses, religious, business leaders, artists, civic leaders, researchers, and more. If you’re a young woman interested in going into

advancement, I’d be honored to talk with you because, in this field, you’ll have a fulfilling life and rarely "work" a day in your life.

What are some of your fondest memories from SHA? A favorite teacher/subject?

There are so many fond memories; one of the top ones is graduating with outstanding women who are your lifelong friends. Other special memories include cheering as a fan at ballgames, going to dances, senior prom at Christmastime, senior retreat and leading them later, carrying a dozen red roses at graduation, and excellent teachers who pushed me in classes, such as Sr. Jean Anne Zappa and Angela Lincoln (religion), Sr. Lorna Weiler (chemistry), Mr. Gallagher (history), and Fr. Butler (Latin).

Have you had a mentor throughout your education or career? What have mentor/ mentee relationships meant to you?

I’ve been blessed to have a couple of mentors in my lifetime, and I am grateful for their investment in me, my life, and my career. Some have gotten me involved in our professional association, the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, on a regional, national and global level, giving me opportunities to grow. Others have spent time giving me advice from their years in the corporate world and from serving on other non-profit boards. I have soaked the marrow out of each of those learning opportunities and leaned into moments to lead and learn. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for those who have invested in me, and I am committed to investing in others. Not surprisingly, I’ve been blessed with mentees in my life who, hopefully, I have helped in some way but who have educated me, too.

What drives you every day to get up and do your work?

I am committed to Catholic education at Sacred Heart. Sacred Heart undoubtedly, provides the best education for our students 1 – 99 years old. I am motivated to attract

students to Sacred Heart, market our wonderful campus, and raise support to truly transform and advance our four schools on the Ursuline campus. Giving students an opportunity to find their passion and excel inspires me greatly.

How do you stay grounded? What activities do you enjoy when you aren’t working?

Finding balance is a constant job because work is a vocation for me. I am committed to Sacred Heart and enjoy working here. It’s a true vocation to raise support for Catholic education at SHS, recruit students and share the Sacred Heart story on the Ursuline campus with the whole community. Outside of work, I enjoy visiting family in Chicago, walking the Ursuline campus with my husband Gerry on Sundays, spending time with family, traveling, dinner with my girlfriends, tailgating and attending ballgames, playing board games, walking, hiking, going to the theater and being in nature. I’m happiest when outside in great weather, especially on a beach.

Fill in the blank….”If not for SHA, I….”

I would not have thrived as well in the classroom at the University of Dayton, which also prepared me for life after college, and I would not have met many of my forever friends. Valkyries forever!

What is a favorite quote of yours?

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou.

This quote hangs in my office as a constant reminder for me daily and are words I try to live by.

Alumnae Director

Happy New Year, Friends,

As another year ends and we begin 2023, I am grateful for your engagement with and support of, Dear Sacred Heart. I hope that if you’re reading this and have an inkling to become more involved with SHA, you’ll let me know so we can find a spot for you! As St. Angela Merici – foundress of the Ursuline Sisters – wrote, “Build community wherever you go.” I hope you’ll consider drawing closer to our Sacred Heart community.

This past October, Sacred Heart Schools celebrated 145 years of Ursuline education. The depth and breadth of the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville’s work in our community, especially on Lexington Road, is felt in various ways. First, we are excited about the formation of the Office of Catholic Identity and Ursuline Charism. This team continues efforts to infuse the teachings of St. Angela Merici and her influence on the Ursulines throughout our campus community. We are proud of this intentional work to deepen our connection to our Catholic faith and the influence of the Ursuline Sisters. I invite you to visit us in the Ursuline Motherhouse to tour our historic building, visit the Ursuline Heritage Room and the recently installed timeline, and learn more about St. Angela Merici. Contact me to schedule a visit!

It's a very special time on campus. In addition to rigorous academics and preparing young women for their futures, the halls at Sacred Heart are buzzing with clubs, activities, sports, and arts and welcoming future Valkyries to SHA. In early November, we welcomed prospective SHA students to Open House to experience the “Sweet Life at SHA,” following the announcement by Niche that Sacred Heart Academy had been named the #1 All-Girls High School in the state of Kentucky, as well as the #1 High School for Athletics in the state of Kentucky. Thank you to Principal Kelly Lanza, our school leaders, teachers, staff, and coaches for helping to bring this distinction to Sacred Heart. Your commitment and dedication to SHA, whether as a Lunch & Learn or Career Day presenter, class rep, donor, or parent, helps solidify a partnership that enables SHA to be the standout institution it is for young women.

Please save the date for our SHA Alumnae Awards Dinner Celebration at 5:30pm on February 9, 2023, at the Mellwood Art Center! What an inspiring group we are humbled to honor this year. See the back cover of this issue for the names of these most deserving recipients and look for more details on how you can participate in this special celebration. Our advancement team leader, Tina Miller Kauffmann ’84, has hit the ground running since joining us in June. I have had the privilege of knowing Tina and her family for many years, as our sisters Renee Miller Million & Amy Brumleve Miller (’88 alums) were college roommates at the University of Dayton (UD), and Tina and my older brother Doug attended UD at the same time. It has been a joy having Tina on our team and introducing her to you, our exceptionally kind, talented, and generous alumnae. Tina’s other sister Michelle Miller Hodge ’86, was also an alum of SHA, as are two of her sisters-inlaw, many nieces, great-nieces, and great-nephews, and her son Ryan attended Sacred Heart Preschool! It’s clear Tina and her family have long been “All Heart,” and I know you’ll enjoy learning a bit more about Tina in this issue. She is a proud alumna dedicated to Catholic education, and we are beyond grateful to have her in this role.

As always, I send you my best and welcome your comments and involvement at Sacred Heart Academy!

All my best in 2023, Megan

Revive the Ties

TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 2022

We gratefully welcomed alumnae and current students in August for the annual Revive the Ties dinner, celebrating Ursuline education legacies. Alumnae mothers, grandmothers, and greatgrandmothers (and special alumnae friends of current students) are invited annually to help kick off a new school year with their current Valkyries while celebrating their shared ties of being educated at Louisville’s all-girls Ursuline Schools – Sacred Heart Academy, St. Angela Merici High School, and Ursuline Academy (the latter two are now closed).

Thanks to these alumnae for treasuring their experience enough to encourage the young women in their lives also to experience an Ursuline education at Dear Sacred Heart.

Alumnae representing seven decades – 1950s-2010s – joined us in late October during Sacred Heart Schools Week for Class Rep Connect at SHA. Class representatives are vital to keeping the Alumnae Office updated on graduates' whereabouts and keeping their classmates informed on important SHA initiatives. Thanks to this loyal and committed group of women for all you do to keep the Heart beating so strong. Congratulations to Carol Kunk Butler `68 on receiving the 2022 Class Rep Award. Thanks to our outstanding presenters, Tina Miller Kauffmann ’84, VP for Advancement at Sacred Heart Schools (SHS), and Jane Cruthirds, Director of Mission Formation at SHS. And thanks to all who donated items to the annual Sister Brendan Appalachian Toy Drive – you blew us away with your generosity!
