LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Greeting Mariners!

As we navigate the 2022-23 school year, we celebrate the return of our traditions, the creation of new memories, and the endurance of our Holy Cross values. Our theme for this year is Being Family, and we are excited to share with you, our extended family, some of the phenomenal accomplishments of our Mariners in this edition of The Vector.

Mariners shine in whatever space they are in. They illuminate our classrooms and their communities with their excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts. Whether it is on the track, on stage, in a lab, on the field, or in professional work settings across all industries, Mariners consistently demonstrate outstanding achievement in a way that brings hope. Mariners are leaders, and lead in a way that inspires others to share their talents and treasure as wellboth within our Moreau Catholic High School community and with those in need everywhere.

We are so blessed to have such great diversity in our Mariner family. For many years, Moreau Catholic High School has enjoyed racial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, religious, gender, socio-economic, political, and other types of diversity. We celebrate the gift of diversity as we learn with and from each other, mutually supporting each Mariner family member’s growth. With all of our wondrous differences, we are united by our mission, our values, and our commitment to transforming ourselves so that we can transform our world.

Within our diverse and inclusive family, each student brims with potential and myriad gifts. Mariners are not one thing; they are unique individuals who excel in a variety of spaces. They are not defined by any one club or sport or affiliation, they are defined by their commitment to our Mariner Mindset and by their instantiation of our Holy Cross values. To be a Mariner is to embody seeming contradictions: greatness and humility, strength and gentleness, intellectual rigor and deep empathy, competitiveness and kindness. Yet our Mariners live out these qualities daily, and our alumni are known for them. Our amazing educators work tirelessly, as directed by our Founder Blessed Basil Moreau, to move our family forward in this transformational work, remembering that, “Education is the art of helping young people to completeness.” We are so proud of our progress and track record in this endeavor.

Thank you to our dedicated Brothers of the Holy Cross, our steadfast Board of Trustees, our engaged alumni, our generous volunteers and community partners, our extraordinary administrators, faculty, staff, and coaches, and our beloved students and families for being our partners in this worthy mission.

Remember that we will always welcome you home and we invite you to reach out anytime to share your struggles and your successes—we are family and we are here for you.

God bless you and Go Mariners!

With gratitude and hope,

Dr. Liz Guneratne President

U.N. AMBASSADOR AWARD The United Nations Association of the USA awarded Riya Patel ’24 a 2021-22 National Community Service Ambassador Award for her 100+ hours of service to others with special dedication to delivering impact toward “UN Global Goal: 2—Zero Hunger.” She also received the Kroger Zero Hero Award for using at least 20 of her hours toward taking action to help make her Fremont community free of hunger and waste.

Patel is passionate about helping her community and is part of the Empower and Excel program, which facilitates volunteer opportunities for youth. With encouragement from her parents, she joined this group in middle school and continues with them to this day. Since ninth grade, Patel has completed over 300 volunteer hours and hopes to reach at least 400 by her senior year. Her volunteer work has included gathering and delivering supplies to schools, as well as making blankets and beanies, and preparing and distributing food to senior citizens and people experiencing homelessness. These endeavors are often a family affair, with her parents helping her bake and prepare food.

leadership as President of The Experiment Club, which does projects such as DNA extraction and physics experiments. Patel also enjoys Bollywood dancing, playing the piano, and participating in programs such as the Aspiring Scholars Directed Research Program (ASDRP)—a wet lab in Fremont, CA—and an online research program through UC San Diego. She hopes to attend Stanford or Columbia University to begin her work toward one day being a pediatrician.

Patel hopes to be an inspiration to others to help their own communities.

She shares that the biggest takeaway from her volunteering has been developing gratitude for her own life. She is an excellent example of the #MarinerMindset in action. We congratulate her on this award and thank her for her service to the community.

Her first volunteer experience was distributing lunch packs to unhoused people in Santa Cruz, an experience she remembers as emotionally moving while also being quite fulfilling. She shares, “Seeing the work I’ve done and how I’ve helped my community pushes me to do more.” She describes her volunteering as a series of small wins that keep her motivated to do more.

Here at Moreau Catholic High School, Patel is deepening her commitment to service, social justice and volunteerism through participation in Earthwise (Moreau Catholic’s sustainability club) and

It was nice to see them gain a new perspective.”

The IFT model of Information, Formation, and Transformation is a cornerstone of Moreau Catholic education. As such, the Office of Climate and Culture and the Campus Ministry Department developed a new retreat experience for all students, beginning with the Frosh class, called “IFT Day.” In her welcome for the day, Assistant Principal of Climate and Culture, Toni West, shared:

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Part of the mission of Moreau Catholic High School aims for students to “become responsible citizens of our global community.” To that end, Moreau Catholic students have several opportunities to make global connections through travel, exchanges, and virtual interactions.

This summer, Caity Riley (Math Department Chair) and Fr. Bruce Cecil, C.S.C. (Chaplain and Faculty) took a group of Mariners on an expedition through Western Europe. Riley shares that they “saw castles, landmarks, and historical sites in each country.

From the beauty of Versailles, the hustle of Paris, the calm serene waters of Lake Lucerne, the rich architecture of Munich, and the beautiful art-decorated buildings of Innsbruck, students explored and enriched themselves in the food and culture of each country, celebrating both the historical and modern cultures they represent.” She adds, “It was a joy to journey with all of the students as they learned about our global community.”

Michael Tobler (Science Department Co-chair and Funabashi Exchange Program Leader) has helped maintain strong relationships with schools in Japan, even through the pandemic.

Earlier this year, some Moreau Catholic students in the Japanese Club met up virtually with a middle school in Japan. He shares, “We [had] a virtual meetup with a middle school in Saitama, Japan (not our sister city). I got this contact through a friend of my wife.

This is our second virtual meet-up with this school. The Japanese students started by giving a presentation about the assassination of Shinzo Abe, and then quizzed our students on Japanese Culture. We then had a more free-form Q and A (in which both groups were exceedingly shy, but it was fun anyway).”

In early September, we welcomed two special guests connected to our Hayward-Funabashi Sister City partnership, which was established in 1986. Kaeko Inori is a member of the Sister City group here in Hayward and Kazuki Nishiyama is a sensei (meaning teacher) at Ichifuna, the high school in Funabashi with which we do exchanges. Nishiyama met with and observed several teachers in order to strengthen our bond with his school and to learn from Moreau Catholic High School more about how to support the social-emotional learning for all students. Moreau Catholic is becoming recognized as an international source of wisdom and innovation in this space, and so this was an opportunity to build upon our enduring friendship with Funabashi and share our knowledge to support them.

This year, students will have the opportunity to visit the Philippines, Funabashi, and more!

BEHIND THE SCENES A LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN AT THE EXTENSIVE UNSEEN WORK THAT GOES INTO MOREAU CATHOLIC’S VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS PRODUCTIONS Students are often given the opportunity to lead when it comes to preparing for a show. Pictured above, Dustin Nghiem ’23 conducts the Honors Wind Ensemble as they prepare for their upcoming concert on Friday, December 9th. Ngheim is also a member of the Trio Plus 1, a small jazz combo that performs regularly at school events. This October, nine Moreau Catholic band members were selected to perform in the Catholic High School Honor Band. They will travel to perform at the University of San Diego in February. Those students

are pictured above holding instruments (left to right): Joshua Cheng ’23, William Guo ’24, Maria Lucia Romero ’23, Amruta Turlapati ’23, Fern Mao ’24, Keanna Ramos ’25, Rudy Iyer ’23, Viraaj Gupta ’24, and Wyatt Reams ’24.

In the photo left, Emmalyn Chan ’24 and Cruz Ferreira ’26 are in dress rehearsal for one of the nine vignettes that comprise the Fall Theatre production of Almost, Maine, directed by Patrick Alparone ’00. The show opened on October 28th and ran until November 5th. To prepare for a main stage theatre or dance production, students rehearse for many weeks after school including the many students who participate in these productions in the capacity of technical crew doing jobs such as managing the action backstage. Faith Bruscini ’23 has been involved with the backstage crew since her Frosh year. She shares what a rewarding experience this work is: “I enjoy having leadership roles and being able to be a part of a show because tech is so crucial to a show. We aren’t

seen very often, but knowing what we can do without being seen is rewarding.

I get to work with crew and the cast and get to bond with both, and it’s nice to be part of big communities like that.”

Bruscini is the backstage deck manager making sure the crew knows what to do. She looks forward to assistant directing the musical in the Spring, sharing, “Directing is fun because your vision comes to life by other people.” She hopes to study technical theatre or stage management in college.

The winter dance concert, Happy Just to Dance with You, will feature dances to music by The Beatles. In addition to pieces created in class, many students choose to be part of the Moreau Catholic Dance Company (left, top), which rehearses before and after school.

Haley Burnett ’23, Clare Jai ’23, and Palkpreet Kaur ’23 have also taken on the leadership roles of choreographers for pieces in the concert, which will be December 4th and 5th at 7:00 pm in the Teves Theatre.

Choral Music Program Director, Dr. Kaia Richards ’99 (pictured left, center, leading the Chorus class) will take 27 members of the Moreau Catholic Honors and Chamber Choirs to New York to perform at Carnegie Hall in April 2023, though their preparations begin now.

They will perform Morten Lauridsen’s “Lux Aeterna” under the baton of Dr. James Buddy—Department Chair at California State University, East Bay with accompaniment by the New England Symphonic Ensemble (NESE).

In Moreau Catholic’s first ever print making class, Eva Hernandez ’23 (left, bottom) works on an etching before running it through the press. An example of a printmaking project can be seen on the inside cover of this edition. Art work created throughout the semester in this and other classes, such as ceramics, drawing, and AP Art, will be on display in the Visual Art Show on December 2nd as well as displayed around campus throughout the year.

FASTEST IS NOT FAST ENOUGH MEET MOREAU CATHOLIC’S USAIN BOLT.

Bryce Thomas ’23 is a member of the National Honors Society and an Associated Student Body Leader as a Rally Officer. He’s also very, very fast.

He holds school records in the 200 and 400 meters (21.6 seconds and 48.23 seconds respectively), records that he broke at State competition last season. He is ranked number one in the North Coast Section (NCS) for those events. This year he hopes to sweep the sprinting categories by beating his own records and the record for the 100 meters, which is 10.5 seconds currently held by Richard Laccay ’89. Thomas doesn’t brag and he doesn’t take himself too seriously; rather, he speaks about his accomplishments with matter-of-fact confidence.

He’s fast, he knows it, but that’s not enough for him.

By third grade, Thomas knew he was fast. While a short stint on a soccer team proved that sport wasn’t his cup of tea, it did teach him that he could run. So his father encouraged him to join his uncle’s track team. He began competing against runners well above his age group. In elementary school, he was running against varsity high schoolers, and against college athletes when he was in middle school. In 2019, when he was in eighth grade, Thomas took 5th in the nation in the 200 meters at the USATF National Junior Olympics Championships. Being on the national stage gave Thomas his first realization that, in his words, “Wow, I can be good at this!”

Another stand out moment before high school was in 2018 when his club relay team was ranked first in the nation. That team included Dean-Taylor 10

“

Chapman ’23 who Thomas credits as a At the end of the day I student-athlete who he looks up to. (Chapman want to be the best. can be seen crushing it on the football field for the Mariners as well as in Track and Field.) With track being primarily an individual sport, Thomas says, “When you have team moments [like in a relay], it’s comforting to know you have other people to rely on.”

”

With his final high school season rapidly approaching, Thomas is building upon his extraordinary performance on the Moreau Catholic track as well as in the classroom to get him to the next level. His dream school is the University of Southern California (USC). He lights up with excitement when talking about the athletic and academic possibilities as well as the challenges of such an elite school. Though he’s being courted by many programs based on his record breaking 2022 season, Thomas is not satisfied. He looks forward to 2023 to show recruiters what he’s truly capable of. He says simply, “At the end of the day I want to be the best.”

The pandemic put a damper on his exposure among track and field circles, so when he came out breaking records last season, he took many of his competitors by surprise. Thomas laughs mischieveously when recounting that his rivals are “out for blood” this season. He relishes the chance at healthy competition; it motivates him to keep pushing. He shares his insight: “Track is more mental than physical. A lot of athletes in general can be physically capable of running track. Having that mental capacity to keep running even when you are tired and even when you are hurting is a whole other thing to unlock within yourself.”

Thomas shares with a smile that he has to “learn to have a life outside of school.” He looks forward to new experiences in college and says that he

enjoys spontaneity. In middle school, Thomas did a fair amount of acting and hopes to get back to it in college since his “focus and hunger for track” didn’t allow much space to participate in Moreau Catholic’s theatre program.

Moreau Catholic Athletics are a family affair, with Thomas’ twin sister, Madison, being a phenomenal athlete in her own right, helping the Mariner Girls’ Basketball team earn the NCS Division 3 title last year. The twins enjoy checking in on each other’s successes and pushing each other, especially academically during this last year of high school.

Come cheer on Thomas as he competes in his final season with Moreau Catholic’s Track and Field team this Spring. But don’t blink, you might miss him!

NEW MOMENT FOR EXCELLENCE IN ATHLETICS AT MOREAU CATHOLIC Students, teachers, coaches, staff, parents, and alumni are all celebrating the naming of our new Athletic Director for Moreau Catholic High School— Erica Escalante. A familiar face in a critical new role, Escalante is excited to build upon our strong foundation and take on the challenges that lie ahead to strengthen our athletic program and continue to empower excellence for our Mariner family.

Escalante recently shared, “ I am extremely excited to help build upon the school’s storied achievements and the opportunity to guide the holistic development of Mariner student athletes in the Holy Cross tradition of pursuing excellence in all things, which is especially important to me. Even more, the vibrance and diversity of the Moreau Catholic community provide an unmatched setting to achieve extraordinary success.

Having worked with the Moreau Catholic staff, faculty, students, and community, I am excited to be part of a leadership team focused on empowering the next generation of student-athlete leaders through an outstanding Mariner athletic experience.”

Escalante holds a Master’s Degree in Sport Management from the University of San Francisco. In addition to her years at Moreau Catholic as Assistant and Associate Athletic Director, she has worked as an events manager, operations specialist, head coach, and assistant Athletic Director at elite private and public colleges and high schools throughout the Bay Area.

She pointed out at our recent Athletic Hall of Fame event that she will be the 4th female A.D., which speaks to the richness of our history and our Holy Cross family’s legacy of recognizing and celebrating women in leadership. Escalante promised to “persist in providing equitable opportunities and experiences for all programs, and make our past, present, and future mariners proud to be a part of the community.”

Mariner family members have been quick to show support for the new A.D. as she joins the Leadership Team to become the 5th Athletic Director in the history of Moreau Catholic. Kristie Alejo ’14, Coach and Associate Campus Minister, shared this thoughtful reflection: “Erica Escalante being named Athletic Director is not only inspiring for me and for our Asian population, but most importantly, for all of our female athletes. Having worked with Erica at Moreau for a couple of years, I’ve seen her create lasting memories with student-athletes and make the lives of all of her coaches so easy. She is an actual superhero and I don’t know how she does it all. She has created a culture where both parts of the name ‘student-athlete’ are important: student first, then athlete. Erica stays true to Moreau’s mission in creating responsible citizens out of our kids. Being a former Moreau athlete and now coach, I am confident in saying that our school community is so lucky to have her a part of our family once again.”

The sentiment was echoed by current student athletes and recent alumni who know her well, including Abigail Sanchez ’23, who plays Girls’ Varsity Volleyball: “Ms. Erica is very organized…and she’s good at communicating…

Being a female and young, she understands how sports can be underappreciated and underseen, especially female sports. She is someone who will broadcast all sports equally and make sure that everyone gets an even playing field, you could say.”

James Bell ’22, shared one of his favorite qualities of our leader: “Ms. Erica will make sure that Mariners are making the best memories of their lives in athletics.”

Principal Colleen Galloway ’77 concluded, “Our entire Mariner family is blessed to have Escalante accept this critical leadership role and share her passion and expertise to strengthen and guide our athletic program in the years ahead.”

We invite all members of our Mariner family to come home, check out a game, and meet our new Athletic Director. Cheer on the individual empowerment and collective growth that happens through Mariner Athletics, and be part of this new chapter of our story of excellence in athletics. Go Mariners!

Mariner Athletic Facilities In order to keep pace with the ever growing excellence exhibited by our Mariner athletes, our athletic facilities continue to be updated.

Our main gym recently received a paint job, new acoustic material, floor refinishing, new lines and athletic logo painted, and new bleachers. Come check out a game and enjoy the updates!

Our weight room also received an upgrade thanks to the fundraising initiated by the 1970 Football team, the first football team in Moreau history. The old wrestling mats were removed and replaced with flooring to expand the weight room to both sides. The entire space is now filled with new and innovative equipment.

We also have a new baseball pitching machine thanks to members of the 1971 Baseball team.

Thank you Alumni for your support!

On Deck, we have exciting additions coming soon with softball and baseball batting cages and more facility upgrades. Please reach out to Erica Escalante or Kathleen Radecke ’85 if you would like to be part of the next wave of improvements for our student athletes!

PINK OUT NIGHT Student leaders partner to make an impact for Breast Cancer Awareness Month At the October 7th football game, the Student Athlete Counsel (SAC), in collaboration with Moreau Catholic’s American Cancer Society (ACS) club and Moreau Catholic’s Green Team, held a “Pink Out” theme night to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to fundraise for HERS Breast Cancer Foundation.

Since 1985, Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been a yearly, national awareness and fundraising campaign that athletic programs have embraced by hosting events such as the Pink Out night.

The movement has grown worldwide, and wearing pink during the month of October has become synonymous with support for the cause.

While wearing pink is one component, SAC co-presidents, Taliyah Harvey ’23 and Anthony King ’23 wanted to create an impact beyond donning pink apparel.

Working together, the SAC, ACS club, and Green Team raised over $2,000 to support Breast Cancer research and awareness at this first event in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Harvey stated, “Moreau [Catholic] has not held a student-led breast cancer awareness fundraiser. I believe that the collaboration between American Cancer Society [club] and Student Athlete Council sparked something really special.

Students, including myself, realized the impact we can provide our communities in a society that underestimates what we are capable of.”

Cancer Foundation, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. The prevalence of the disease makes for many personal connections to the cause.

“It hits kind of close to home for me,” King said. “It’s really important for MCHS to host an event like this because, as a person who’s lost an auntie due to breast cancer, it was really meaningful to host a Pink Out event to help spread awareness for it.”

In order to help raise awareness, the SAC, ACS, and Green Team wanted to ensure the event was more than the performative acts of wearing pink or selling t-shirts, but to continue what it means to act from the Mariner Mindset.

“As a member of SAC and other leadership positions, I knew that hosting a fundraiser event would encourage students to be compassionate,” said Harvey. “Many students gave whatever they had, often times pocket change, just to purchase a shirt to support the cause. It was super encouraging to know that my peers supported and helped promote such an important cause.”

King wanted this event to provide a chance for the student-athletes and other on-campus organizations to learn about how they can use their platform to do something positive for their community.

“Our athletes are playing football and we’re drawing hundreds of people to our event and we are able to draw attention to such a great cause,” King said. “We want to bring awareness that early detection, often through screening, can catch the disease when it is most treatable and that we should get checked often to catch the disease, male or female.”

Harvey added, “I am hopeful that the fundraiser will inspire other students to lead powerful events in our Mariner community!”

Green Team President, Aaron Calica ’23 stated, “I think collaborating with other big groups here on campus is working because a lot of students are coming to the games.” Calica continued, “We plan to do a few more things with winter sports and spring sports to help promote additional causes in continuing collaboration with the SAC.” “We have a community and student leaders who feel strongly about helping others and these were great ways to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” said Erica Escalante, Athletic Director. “I am very proud of our students for thinking of others and recognizing that small acts can make a difference.”

In collaboration, the ACS club and SAC built a partnership between Moreau Catholic and HERS Breast Cancer Foundation, located in Fremont, CA. The student organizations felt it was important to partner with a local organization to help those in their community.

“I think the breast cancer awareness theme is a fan favorite or at least a favorite for players,” Varsity Football full-back and SAC member, Jesse Charles ’23, said. “It’s a united purpose... The cheerleaders become a part of it and the fans can be a part of it. I know it has a special place in a lot of people’s hearts too and the theme supports a good cause.”

ALUMNI TAILGATE On Friday, October 14th, we welcomed home Mariner alumni from the 1970’s to the 2010’s and every generation in between at our annual Alumni Homecoming Tailgate! Many Mariners said they hadn’t been on campus since graduation and were impressed by the facility upgrades especially the Al Vermeil Field on which our Varsity Football team later beat the Hayward High Farmers, 29 to 14.

The Rally Squad honored alumni by wearing retro uniforms from years past (pictured right). Thanks to epic plays like the interception by Jalen Arnold ’25 (pictured below, center), the Mariners were able to pull out their fourth win of the season.

We look forward to many more opportunities to welcome Alumni home. Stay up to date on upcoming events by using the QR code to the right or visiting: moreaucatholic.org/alumni

2022 ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME In an emotionally moving and uplifting evening, the 2022 Athletic Hall of Fame honored six individuals and one team for their excellence in Mariner athletics spanning 45 years. The event was held on campus in the Ivaldi Student Center, on Saturday, October 15th, the night after the Homecoming game.

After a lovely cocktail hour accompanied by live music played by the Moreau Catholic High School jazz combo called Trio Plus 1 (Dustin Ngheim ’23, Rudy Iyer ’23, Viraaj Gupta ’24, and Tiago Dias ’25), Colleen Galloway ’77 spoke about Moreau Catholic Hall of Famer and former Athletic Director, Kathy Joseph, noting the fittingness of remembering her pioneering leadership in girls’ athletics during this 50th anniversary year of Title IX. The presentation of the inductees followed a buffet dinner and dessert, and was filled with impressive stats, funny anecdotes, tearful moments, playful jabbing, and, above all, sincere gratitude for Moreau Catholic from both the presenters and the honorees.

The first inductee was Jerry Sheets, who was inducted by long-time colleague and

friend, Phil Wilder. Sheets was honored for his service to Moreau Catholic as a teacher, multi-sport coach, and Athletic Department leader. Sheets, who has Parkinson’s disease, made his way to the stage with the help of his former football players Brian Ferguson ’91 and Justin Knox ’91 who then read a prepared thank you message from Sheets. This touching moment was met with a standing ovation as Sheets triumphantly lifted his arms upon returning to his seat.

Anthony Pontes ’80 inducted Rob Overton ’06, a decorated tri-sport athlete while at Moreau Catholic. Pontes praised Overton’s work ethic that got him through three years of Varsity Baseball and Basketball, and four years of Varsity Football. Pontes humbly questioned why he was asked to present, saying, “All I did was help get him to college.” Overton, a football player and graduate of the University of Montana, assured Pontes of his influence, saying, “You did more for me than you even know.”

Doug Uchikura ’71 inducted the 1971 Varsity Baseball team, of which he was a part. He shared a sweet story about

the team—still in their dirty, sweaty uniforms—crashing a parent meeting led by then principal Br. Fisher Iwasko, C.S.C. to present him with their trophy after winning the state championship.

Uchikura shared the team’s gratitude for the honor by saying simply, “Thank you.

You didn’t forget about us.”

Brian Glasky ’84 honored his brother Dan ’79, sharing playfully mocking anecdotes about their childhood in a family of eight children. He also shared sincere admiration for his big brother and the pride their father had when Dan began “playing up with the Varsity [soccer] team” as a Frosh. Dan, who was also celebrating his birthday during the Hall of Fame event, in turn spoke about their next older brother, John ’75, who was his inspiration, saying, “John, this is for you.”

Denise “Killer Bambi” Noleroth Bunger ’92 is already in the Moreau Catholic Hall of Fame as a member of the 1992 Girls’ Basketball State Champion team.

She was presented for her individual achievements by former Moreau Catholic Girls’ Basketball Coach,

Jack Kennedy. His listing of her incredible stats and myriad accolades drew audible sounds of awe from the audience and earned Bunger the second standing ovation of the evening.

In her acceptance speech, Bunger began by humbly saying, “I don’t remember being that good.” She credited her athletic career, though cut short due to injury, for preparing her for motherhood, a role the “Killer Bambi” holds dear.

Peter “The Voice of Moreau” Peabody was up next to present Alitta Boyd ’09. Another tri-sport athlete, she was named “an athlete for all seasons” in the San Francisco Chronicle. Boyd still holds Moreau Catholic records in Girls’ Track and Field: first place in the 100 meter, 200 meter, long jump, and triple jump, and second in the high jump. She was recruited by 47 colleges as a junior in high school, ultimately choosing the University of Southern California. Peabody described her as an athlete who “floats like a butterfly and stings like a queen bee.” Boyd, both self-depricating and proud, expressed her gratitude for her many Moreau Catholic coaches and teachers, jokingly apologizing if she “was ever too much.” For anyone interested in her post-Moreau Catholic accomplishments, she proudly recommends googling her.

short: “To know [Oscar] was to love him and to love him was a direct blessing by God himself.” Ferreira acknowledged how Frayer’s influence on Moreau Catholic Boys’ Basketball put the program and Moreau Catholic on the map. Frayer’s mother, Bionca Sparrow, accepted the award in honor of her son. She hadn’t planned to speak, but was “moved by the spirit” to share, and through tears said, “We are going to be a Mariner family for life,” perfectly summing up the overarching sentiment of the evening.

Finally, the evening’s presentations ended with a posthumous recognition of Oscar Frayer ’16. Over a quarter of the evening’s guests came specifically to honor Frayer. Bailey Ferreira ’18 inducted Frayer, sharing beautifully about a life cut tragically

LIFE COMMITTED TO SERVICE

2022 Alumni Award Recipient and Keynote speaker for Funding Hopes and Dreams— Gala for Tuition Assistance Jocelyn (Manuel) Pierre-Antoine ’94 is in her 22nd year of serving in Catholic education, and she is proud that she has now served more years than she attended Catholic school. Her 19 years in Catholic school include elementary at St. Edward School (Newark, CA), high school at Moreau Catholic, undergraduate at Boston College (Massachusetts), and graduate school at the University of Notre Dame (Indiana). “For every year that someone contributed to my Catholic education, I was able to give it back and pay it forward somewhere else,” she shares.

regardless of their athletic abilities.

Coach Wilder recognized the goodness of each runner, and his positive spirit taught her to persevere, believe in who she was and who she could become, and to work through challenges. She gives the example of running up the steep hills of Garin Park on a hot day in the fall. With heat exhaustion, fatigue, and no one to cheer her on, she had to be mentally tough enough to finish the race when her body wanted to quit.

She was able to keep pushing through thanks to the community support of her coach and teammates.

Since the age of five, Pierre-Antoine felt called to being a teacher, often playing “school” with her younger cousins, Rich ’98 and Raul Menchavez ’00, with her as teacher and principal.

Having served first in the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) after college, Pierre-Antoine is currently the Associate Superintendent for Mission and Professional Learning for the Department of Catholic Schools, Diocese of Oakland. She previously served as a teacher at her alma mater, St. Edward, then as principal for All Saints Catholic School and St. Bede Catholic School, both in Hayward.

This ability to push through adversity has assisted Pierre-Antoine in her work in education. A calling to serve underresourced communities led her to OUSD, but lack of resources in OUSD made for a discouraging start to her career. PierreAntoine was then called to “respond to God’s invitation to share [her] gifts in a way that can inspire and touch the lives of students, families, and now in this capacity, teachers, principals, and school leaders” in Catholic education. Her work now focuses on “Making sure that we [Catholic educators] stay committed to the initial mission of Catholic schools when they were formed in this country, which was to serve poor and immigrant families.”

At Moreau Catholic, Pierre-Antoine was an honors student and involved in various aspects of Mariner life including the Track & Field and Cross Country teams, the Associated Student Body, and the Funabashi exchange program through Cross Country with Coach Wilder.

Through her experiences at Moreau Catholic, especially as a member of the Cross Country team, she felt part of a closeknit family where each person was respected and valued as an important member An excerpt from the of the 1993-1994 Moreau community Catholic yearbook 17

This is no small feat, and she knows it. But Pierre-Antoine has an inspiring partnership with her husband of 21 years, Rodney. They met at new teacher orientation for OUSD and have been partners in life and in education since.

Rodney Pierre-Antoine is Executive Director of Lumen Christi Academies, a network of six parish schools in the Diocese of Oakland. Pierre-Antoine shares that her husband’s “passion for social justice” is what inspires her, adding that “he’s never going to be protesting, he’s never going to be posting on social media, instead he’s going to commit his life to it.” The theme of service to others is woven throughout their personal and professional lives, as evidenced by their recent readiness to become foster parents to a 16 year old daughter.

Jocelyn ’94 and Rodney PierreAntoine in Maui, Hawaii allow the school to be focused on the mission and be committed to it.” While Pierre-Antoine is a selfless woman with a deep faith in God and the power of the Holy Spirit to provide, she is also a realist who understands that schools have to be able to provide for teachers, staff, principals, and administrators.

Especially in a state where there is no voucher system or other state funded aid to families, Pierre-Antoine knows there is “no quick or easy fix if the main source of income is our families.”

She shares, “My hope and dream is that anyone who wants to go to Catholic school can and that money is never going to be the reason that they can’t.”

Pierre-Antoine will be the keynote speaker at the 2022 Funding Hopes and Dreams—Gala for Tuition Assistance on Thursday, December 1st. This event is Moreau Catholic’s primary yearly fundraiser directly benefiting tuition assistance, aiming to make that dream of Pierre-Antoine’s, and of all Catholic educators, come true.

IN TIME WITH BASSIST THOMAS MORGAN ’99 A two month public performance schedule for Thomas Morgan ’99 looks like this: Starting in September, fly from Illinois to Michigan to California to New York, then on to Belgium, back to New York, San Francisco, New York once more, across the ocean to Denmark, ending up in Germany in mid-November.

Now based out of New York, this internationally recognized, jazz double-bassist started his career right out of the Moreau Catholic band room.

Under the guidance of Moreau Catholic Band and Orchestra director, Ted Newton, Morgan “started right away in the afterschool big band at Moreau, as well as wind ensemble, reading alongside the tuba player.” This was his “first experience with improvising walking bass lines while following written chord changes, which is generally the core of what a bass player does in jazz.”

From the start, Morgan took every opportunity to enhance his musicianship, joining Moreau Catholic’s celebrated jazz ensemble, pep band, marching band, pit orchestra to accompany the musicals, and jazz combos, as well as a jazz theory class taught by Frank Sumares, who was head of the jazz department at Chabot College. That theory class led to his joining the Chabot night band and jazz combo classes at Chabot College.

Morgan met a friend in the night band who told him about what’s now called the Monterey Jazz Festival Next Generation Band and the Grammy Band. According to the Monterey Jazz Festival website, the Next Generation Band “brings together 20 of the most accomplished high school jazz musicians from across the country to form the Next Generation Jazz Orchestra.” Morgan was one of those 20.

These experiences offered the opportunity to tour in Japan and play at Grammy parties—one of only 12 students in the U.S. chosen to do do so! (Is it any wonder he was voted “Most Talented” by his senior class?) This same friend went on to the Manhattan School of Music, which is where Morgan went upon graduating from Moreau Catholic. Newton shares, “Thomas Morgan is an incredible musician. He has been performing with some of the best jazz musicians in the world, and has been doing so since he was 19 years old. We are so proud of all of his accomplishments.”

Thomas started playing cello at age seven, sharing in a 2019 Jazzwise.com interview, “For me music has always been the most natural and the deepest way to share something with people.” With The Vector, Thomas shared that he does not take for granted the time he spent learning from Newton and other guest artists while at Moreau Catholic: “Mr. Newton set a high standard for all of the bands. Inspiring guest artists also played with the jazz ensemble each year, showing us what improvisation could be at a high level. All in all it was an immersive experience, which is what you need when learning to play jazz.” He encourages current and future Moreau Catholic students to begin their musical journey now while they have more neural plasticity than adults. But it’s more than that to Morgan. Of the value of musical education he states, “I know studies have shown that learning to play a musical instrument increases cognitive abilities that can be applied to math or other disciplines. Playing music involves 18

We all know that, as hard as it is to explain. For me playing music has also been the best way to meet people and make meaningful connections with them.”

Morgan shares that he looks forward to continuing to explore and push his craft and continue to learn from the talented musicians he works with. On the following page is a timeline of some of the many great connections Morgan has made along the way as told in his own words.

Use the QR code to view Thomas Morgan’s upcoming performance schedule.

Soon after moving to New York in 1999, one of my teachers introduced me to the drummer Joey Baron, who then asked me to sub in his band Killer Joey whenever his regular bass player, Tony Scherr, was busy. Among many other things Joey is a master of making instruments blend together to make a beautiful and dynamic group sound, and he showed me how far an awareness of blend can take a group. We still play together in other contexts.

Around the same time I met Dan Weiss and Jacob Sacks and other recent graduates of Manhattan School of Music, where I was studying. Since then I’ve been learning from their curiosity, breadth of scope in exploring all kinds of music, interest in expanding limits, and growth that comes from embracing challenges. Dan and Jacob and I were sidemen in the Dave Binney Quartet, playing regularly at the 55 Bar in New York and touring Europe.

Craig Taborn was in Dave Binney’s quartet a little later on and starting in 2007 I played quite a bit in his trio with Gerald Cleaver, where we would work from structures in a patient and open way, letting the sound of the room and instruments (which were different every day on tour) have a big influence on our approach.

Also in 2007 I met Masabumi Kikuchi, who went by the nickname “Poo”. We played mostly at his loft with the guitarist Todd Neufeld, whom I’d met in high school in the Grammy band. Poo had an exquisite sense of what he called “dynamics”: subtle or dramatic changes to volume, texture, rhythm, etc. and how they interact and influence the overall aesthetic. Playing with him demanded the sensitivity to perceive those changes and help move the music forward without disturbing the balances we were creating together. And it taught me to stay absolutely in the moment because his sensitivity meant that everything could change at any time.

1999

2005

2007

2008

In 2009 I met the Danish guitarist Jakob Bro, who had also been a sideman with Paul Motian. He has a brilliant sense of melody and texture and an ability to get right to what’s most essential. He creates spacious music that invites creative contributions from all the band members. We started playing more often in 2011, including in a trio with Jon Christensen and later Joey Baron. We also recorded with Lee Konitz and Bill Frisell in 2011. And recently we recorded with Joe Lovano, Joey Baron, Jorge Rossy, Larry Grenadier, and Anders Christensen; that album will come out on ECM this November.

2009

2010 I’m not very future-oriented and what I look forward to is basically the same as what I enjoy at present: exploring with the friends I play with, trying to go a little further in one dimension or another on every gig, and taking in and learning from some of the great music that already exists.

2022

Starting in 2005 I played in the band of Steve Coleman, who had the same kind of expansive curiosity and was one of those who had helped to inspire it in the friends I was already playing with. His music is multilayered and playing it expands one’s ability to perceive structure in music.

In 2008, Poo recommended me to Paul Motian, and I played in several of Paul’s bands with Poo and others.

We were often at the Village Vanguard, the legendary jazz club where he could be heard at least one week every month in his later years. Paul was known for his delicate playing with Bill Evans in the ’50s but he had a wide range. He had a way of being naive and sophisticated at the same time, abstract and grounded. His playing and compositions are a huge inspiration for the jazz scene.

In 2010 I recorded an album of standards with Paul Motian, Bill Frisell, and Petra Haden. Bill and I had played a few times before, but we made a close connection on that recording and started doing more and more together since then. Bill is a big inspiration for me and countless others, in his inimitable way of making the guitar sing and his way of respecting various traditions of music while not being afraid to let them enter his playing at any time and let them interact with each other.

We’ve released two live duo albums recorded at the Village Vanguard, and lately we usually play trio with Rudy Royston, which is a group that feels organic, supportive, and limitless. moreaucatholic.org

ALUMNI WAVES JIM SOUZA ’70 (A): Excerpt from Mercury News article (July 1, 2022):

A

“From its humble beginnings at street festivals a century ago, the Souza family has built one of the largest and most respected fireworks display companies in the world...

The COVID pandemic nearly ended five generations of business. In 2020, only 20 of 300 scheduled July 4 events were held and Souza was forced to furlough 38 of 50 full-time employees. The Payroll Protection Program helped keep it afloat.

Now...business has rebounded and Souza is rushing to coordinate logistics at many far-flung events. His schedule is back to pre-COVID levels, he said.”

CHRIS BORDEN ’73: “Nearly 20 years into my early retirement I recently had surgery for a brain tumor, which was fully excised. My prognosis for a cancer-free future is guarded at best; I hope to be around for our 50th year reunion next year.

B

I am undergoing several weeks of chemotherapy and radiation at the New Mexico Cancer Center, near my home. Your thoughts and prayers are much appreciated during the most harrowing and challenging days of my life. Please pray for me, my friends.”

TERRY HIGGINS ’77 (B): “Achieved yet another milestone in my hobby/ pastime of sanctioned competitive cribbage: my ACC (American Cribbage Congress) Grand Master Award. My profile story is on page 25 in the September 2022 issue of the organization’s monthly publication “Cribbage World.” Missed our class’ mini-45th reunion gathering in June (because I was traveling for yet another cribbage tournament), but I am very much looking forward to our big 50th (by which time I will hopefully be retired from my accounting career).”

JUDITH BOYLE ’79: “My time at Moreau prepared me so well for life. I loved being part of the drama productions and the Honours Program.

My favorite teacher was Petar Zegura. My favorite faculty members were John Barreiro and Fran Warmerdam. I was inspired enough to leave a successful career as a CPA to become a teacher. I then became a Department Head of Student Activities, an Assistant Principal and eventually a Principal. I attribute it to the great role models I had.”

CHUCK GONZALEZ ’79: “Hi to all my Moreau brothers and sisters. Its been over 43 years since we walked the halls of Moreau. Time certainly does fly. I hope everyone is doing good as we travel through our busy lives. Hopefully everyone is staying healthy and living out our middle age in great spirits. Hopefully we can meet up again at our 45th reunion and share a good time and laugh and smile again. As some may know we lost a couple of our classmates last year. Our brother Kevin Thompson and sister Stacy Grimmer have gone to their resting place. Both great spirits who made us laugh and smile. Take care everyone.”

MARLILEE NORTON ’81 (C): “We did a mini 41st High School reunion: Debi Hertz, Kelly (Kinavey) Reade, Joyce (Uranga) Stoppell and I. Celebrated at my house in Lake Wildwood (Penn Valley) with an 80’s rock concert! Fun times with my ladies!”

LEA GAMBINA ’86 (D): “Our family made a big move to Los Angeles recently primarily in support of our daughter, Sophie’s music career and our son, Dominic’s film and video editing career. My husband and I have been managing and investing in my daughter’s music career for 10 years.

She’s only 18 years old and her music is gaining traction. I thought the Mariner Family would enjoy Sophie’s music! Sophie—as she says—turns 20

MALIA NAHINU ’08 (I): “I worked as the on-set She-Hulk reference and stunt performer. I screen tested for this role in October of 2020, and found out I was chosen in January 2021. I have been actively pursuing work in the entertainment industry since and have earned roles in major music videos, short films and commercials. I also love writing books and doing artwork which is something that most people don’t know. I just feel grateful for the opportunity to work within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and it was such a fun gig! It helped me realize that I am an actor and gave me more confidence to continue to explore this craft.”

KRISTEN (SEGISMUNDO) ’12 AND ANTON CARDENAS ’12 (J): Anton and Kristen met at Tech Camp in 2008. Tech Camp was a couple of days during the summer when incoming freshmen would go to campus to learn how to use their new MacBooks. They were friends throughout high school, and started dating during college. In July 2022, almost 14 years after they met, they tied the knot in San Francisco!
