NEWS OF THE SCHOOL

From the Head’s Desk In February, I was informed by ISACS (The Independent Schools Association of the Central States) that Park Tudor has been successfully reaccredited without conditions.

The accreditation process is a multi-year cycle; Park Tudor’s began in 2017 with a survey of our full community – parents, faculty/staff, students, Board members, and alumni. The school formed a multitude of committees with members selected from all constituency groups; each committee was responsible for drafting a section of a comprehensive report that was submitted to ISACS and our Visiting Team at the beginning of the school year in September. In October, we welcomed the 14-member Visiting Team for a 3-day visit filled with meetings and observations throughout the school.

In March, the Visiting Team submitted their report to Park Tudor. This 65-page document includes a host of observations, commendations and recommendations for each department and program. In its conclusion, the report noted that:

“Through the 116-year evolution from Tudor Hall School to the Park Tudor School of today, there have been mergers, configuration changes, leadership changes, and a host of dreams and ambitions, some achieved, some remaining just a dream. However, a few things appear to have been consistent across the history of this School: the commitment to academic excellence, the dedication to students, and the support of a loyal community of alumni and parents. During the short journey through your school, the Visiting Team saw thoughtful, kind, and passionate adults who are selflessly dedicated to helping their students’ academic progress and equally dedicated to helping them grow into kind, empathetic people. The Visiting Team was captivated by the depth and breadth of the attention to the needs of Park Tudor students.”

NEWS OF THE SCHOOL

The accreditation of any school is a seminal process that charts a school’s progress and lays the foundation for its future plans. It is a process that requires deliberate planning and foresight. Created by ISACS for its member schools, our accreditation process is a structured and comprehensive procedure that intentionally involves all constituents of the school at various points along the way.

All ISACS member schools must meet the published standards for membership and demonstrate their commitment to quality and growth through their participation in the seven-year cycle of evaluation.

Strengths, challenges, plans and priorities are key terms that drive this all-important septennial evaluation.

The Areas of Study ISACS requires each school to review and analyze specific areas of program, policy and operation. The major areas of study are: Purpose, Goals and Philosophy; Community of the School; Program; Activities and Student Services; Governance and Administration; Personnel; and Specialty Areas.

Overall, the ISACS Visiting Team’s report was very favorable for Park Tudor. The team’s major commendations recognized the School for our exceptionally nurturing and respectful relationships between students and teachers, coaches, advisors and counselors; a culture of mutual care, respect, responsibility and politeness; outstanding examples of student-centric teaching; students who are positive, thoughtful and proud of their learning and accomplishments; the depth and breadth of opportunities for students; and the loyalty and support of all of our constituency groups.

The team’s major recommendations include revisiting and refining the language of our mission to define our identity more clearly; developing and implementing a comprehensive enrollment management plan; developing and implementing a plan to realize the core values of being a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community; and completing a Master Plan and launching the necessary capital campaign to upgrade the facilities and address notable deferred maintenance. Work is already underway in many of these areas.

I would like to thank all of the faculty and staff, parents, students, Board members and alumni who responded to our surveys, served on subcommittees, wrote and revised reports, worked to make our campus look its best, and welcomed our Visiting Team with true Hoosier hospitality. I would especially like to recognize the efforts of our Steering Committee, led by Debbie Stuart Everett ’69 and Mary McGonagle. .

At the recent Indianapolis Thriving Schools ceremony, Mayor Joe Hogsett and the Office of Sustainability recognized Park Tudor.

“The Indianapolis Thriving Schools Challenge was born because so many Indianapolis schools had taken steps to improve sustainability in their classrooms – and it became clear that the City needed a way to recognize and support them,” said the Mayor.

Park Tudor, one of 53 applicants to the Challenge, was awarded the Master’s Certification based on our work on environmental stewardship, social responsibility, waste reduction, and conservation of resources. Some of the programs highlighted in the application included: Environmental Science students’ honeybee talks with our kindergarten classes, the Lower School chickens, as well as its rainwater collecting bins, the combined Middle School/Upper School community gardens, which include annual soil testing, crop rotation, and alternatives to pesticides. Also listed were the Monarch Butterfly Study, Environmental Science class Plarn Wars (using plastic bags to create mates for homeless shelters), campus-wide recycling bins and water-filling stations, and the replacement of traditional light bulbs with LED bulbs.

One of the three pillars of our Strategic Plan, PT2020 Reimagined, is Community. That encompasses many things, including building community within our school, but also examining how Park Tudor can contribute in a meaningful way to the larger world of Indianapolis and beyond. Certainly, finding ways to be a responsible steward of our environment and becoming more sustainable is an important way that we can be a responsible member of the community. It is also an opportunity to model community engagement for our students and embody our core values of responsibility, resourcefulness and respect.

We extend our appreciation to the many faculty members and students across all divisions whose efforts contributed this important recognition from the Mayor’s Office.

C.J. Richmond takes a shot.

BOYS BASKETBALL With first year head coach, Tim Adams, and a young Park Tudor squad, the team started the year with unknown expectations.

The season started with four road games - a true test for a very young Panther team. However, this young and feisty Panther squad was able to come out on the winning side of each of those four road games and start the season 4-0.

With only one senior on the roster the Panthers battled their way through a tough schedule and were named ICC conference champs with a 6-1 record and finished the regular season with a 16-7 overall record. Some memorable moments this season were road wins at Danville, Heritage Christian and Brebeuf. The future is bright, since the Panthers will be returning all five starters. They will be looking to have an even more successful regular season and make a deep run in the state tournament.

Senior Taylee Nibbs was our returning leading scorer, and senior Davinique Campbell embarked on what would be her first complete IHSAA basketball season after three season-ending knee injuries in years prior. Inexperienced and young, the Panthers did not ease into the season, starting off against a strong Monrovia basketball team. Despite first game jitters the girls gave the staff, fans, and opponent a glimpse of how strong this team could be with time.

The Panthers pivotal moment in the season was when they beat Southwestern (Shelbyville) at Shelbyville. Prior to this game,

The Panthers were led in scoring by sophomore JC Glenn, who averaged 11.5 ppg and was named to the ICC All Conference team. Junior Kadaphi Honaker had a breakout season and was also named to the ICC All Conference team. The lone Senior, Tristan Bufkin, averaged 10 ppg and was the third member of the Panthers named to the ICC All Conference team.

GIRLS BASKETBALL The 2018-2019 season was another year for the record books for the PT girls basketball team. This season there were six new players who joined the program for the first time or rejoined the team after a few years of not playing. Heading into the season the staff knew that developing chemistry would be a process throughout the season.

NEWS OF THE SCHOOL

the Panther defense was impeccable but they struggled to score.

Things changed against Southwestern and the Panthers played strong defensively, shot the ball better, limited turnovers, and stayed together throughout the ups/downs of the game.

That momentum would finish the end of the first season 5-3, and start the second season 6-6. This was a time to hit the “Reset” button as a team to see what went well, what needed improvement, and decide how they wanted to write the ending of the season. Three seniors Taylee Nibbs, Alissa Honigford, and Davinique Campbell would have to lead the team.

The seniors did just that, starting out the second season beating a great Greenwood Christian team in a nail-biting game. Freshman Halle Shelt went 5-9 from the 3-point line, Taylee Nibbs had seven assists, and Davinique Campbell dominated the glass with 11 rebounds. The team followed up with a defeat of Bethesda Christian 67-58.

PT cheerleaders strike a pose.

The Panthers went on a 5-0 winning streak, finally losing to a 3A Ritter team 44-47 and finishing the second season 8-1. The Panthers played Covenant Christian in the first round of sectionals; the Panthers gave it their best shot entering halftime down three points, but ultimately came up short. Congratulations to the Panthers for a strong finish to the season!

SWIMMING The Park Tudor 2018-2019 girls swim team captains were Margherita Firenze and Sophie Chadderton. The team’s best finish at a tournament was 10th at the sectional meet. Junior Nermeen Rhaman finished 18th in the 100 fly. Both girls relays finished 9th with the relay team of Sophia Ling, Jillian Miller, Nermeen Rahman, and Sophie Chadderton. Jillian Miller finished 20th in the 100 breast as the sole competitor in the event for the Panthers. The Panthers’ charge was led by Sophia Ling who finished 14th in the 50 free and 8th in the 100 backstroke, an all-time high finish for the junior at this meet.

The Park Tudor 2018-2019 boys swim team captain was Jaden Seymour. With only two returning boys from last year, the team was comprised of all new faces but gave strong performances. Nick Clifford swam a lifetime-best time in the 200 freestyle along with new comer Jarod Lau with a lifetime-best in the 100 backstroke. The strong team effort came with an 8th place finish in sectionals for the boys 200 freestyle relay with 3 new swimmers - Zach Aldridge, Henry Erikson and Nick Conterno - and veteran Jaden Seymour.

Jaden led the boys, finishing 14th in the 100 freestyle and 14th in the 100 breaststroke in the finals at the sectional championship meet.

Student Feature: Sophomore Wellesley Mobasser Returns from a Semester in Russia

BY CATHY YINGLING CHAPELLE ’87 12

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SPRING 2019

As a sophomore, Wellesley Mobasser took an unusual step, deciding to spend the first semester of the school year studying abroad in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. Wellesley spent five months, from August through the end of January, living with a family and attending a public high school where all of her classes were taught solely in Russian.

I recently sat down with Wellesley to learn more about her experience.

Most students wait until college to spend a semester studying abroad. Why did you decide to do it now?

I found a program with a minimum age of 15, so when I realized that I had the opportunity to study abroad now, I didn’t see a reason not to do it. I was a little afraid at first and wondered if maybe I should wait, but then I just decided to go for it.

Why Russia?

I thought Russia was the most interesting country I could visit, especially because of all of the political tensions between the U.S. and Russia right now. Many people are talking about Russia, but few have actually visited and seen the country and experienced the culture. I also wanted to learn the language.

What did your parents think when you came to them with this idea?

My dad was a little skeptical at first. You always hear that Russians are ruthless and it’s dangerous - that people get killed in the streets.

Everyone’s reaction at first was, “why?” But my dad came around eventually.

How did it work with Park Tudor and fulfilling the requirements that you need to graduate?

Park Tudor was so accommodating and helped me so much, especially Mrs. Webster (Upper School Director). She made it clear to me that I could focus on learning Russian without worrying about whether my credits would transfer and what my grades were.

When I got there, I only knew how to say “hello,” “goodbye,” and “shower” in Russian, and I was going to a regular Russian public

Wellesley with her Russian host family.

high school where all of my classes were taught in Russian. So, I was taking chemistry in Russian, which was a challenge. I was also the only American - and only exchange student - in the school, so I felt a little like a celebrity.

How did your experience in Russia compare with your preconceived ideas about the country?

It was actually fairly similar to what I thought it would be. Before I went, I thought I’d be able to write this great college essay focused on busting stereotypes about Russia, but I found that a lot of the stereotypes are true! I truly love Russia, though - the country has become a part of me.

What is next for you with your study of Russian?

I’m continuing to do independent study to keep learning Russian, but beyond that I’m not sure. Not a lot of people in the U.S. speak Russian, so it’s a little difficult to find people to speak with. I do keep in touch with my host family, and I’m hoping to return to Russia this summer.

What was most surprising to you about Russia?

There is absolutely no peanut butter there - not a jar to be found.

They also wash their socks in the sink, and they are completely immune to the cold.

Do you have any advice for other high school students who might want to study abroad?

I highly recommend not waiting for college to study abroad. If you are able to do it - even if you are a little scared - the experience is definitely worth it.

Minju Choi ’98 plays for students.

Orchestrating the Vision

BY ALLYSON HORTON, DIRECTOR OF EQUITY & INCLUSION AND UPPER SCHOOL ENGLISH TEACHER

“Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.”

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. There is something to be said about the reciprocity of art, the “practice of exchanging things with others for mutual benefit” especially one’s expertise and time. The quote, “music is the universal language of mankind” derives from poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and was demonstrated masterfully by Park Tudor alumna Minju Choi ’98 when she returned to her alma mater to give a presentation to our US Band and Orchestra students. Minju had performed on her secondary instrument of violin in PT’s orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Lorelei Farlow when she was a student here. Her desire was to return, and enlarge her circle by speaking with the current students about her life as a musician.

Minju Choi is a professional pianist who is on the music faculty at Missouri State University as an Assistant Professor of Piano. As part of Minju’s active career, she was eager to be a guest speaker at our school and share her experiences with our kids. All faculty were welcome to join. We teachers found ourselves in the midst of spirited Fine Arts students eagerly awaiting Ms. Choi’s arrival.

The intimate classroom setting combined with a standing room-only crowd of faculty created a welcoming ambience for the concert. Minju

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SPRING 2019

Choi entered the room with the grace of a Julliard-seasoned artist. She received a heart-felt welcome from her audience, comprised mostly of young aspiring musicians mirroring her own promising walk as a Park Tudor student. From the moment Minju placed her hands on the piano, we were transformed - each listener altered by Minju’s magnificence. Everyone who witnessed the event received a real musical treat: an unrepeatable performance and unforgettable alumni experience. It is important to note that Minju took great care in selecting the music she performed. She chose pieces that presented the mix of cultures of their respective composers.

The wisdom, knowledge and vision Minju imparted reflected her unyielding devotion to the craft. Our students were simply thrilled to be in her company. The outpouring of appreciation for her visit was both generous and glowing. And certainly, reflective of the necessity for our school to continue to provide mirrors to our students from all angles culturally, artistically, and professionally, as well as academically.

Understanding the power and reciprocity of music, Orchestra Teacher Lorelei Farlow encouraged her students to share their experiences with her former pupil via letters following her visit. A reoccuring theme across all the notes was the collective value our students seem to hold for the visiting artist as a mirror.

One student gratefully writes: “Thank you for your insight into the process of pursuing music through college and as a career...” What reflects back from these occasions is priceless as noted by Shea Aquilano: “Your advice will stick with me as I venture through college myself.”

Other valuable student data supporting the great need for more of these types of intentional mirrors/efforts to further advance inclusion and equity emerge powerfully in the following quotes that give voice to the power of mirrors for our students.

Each distinct category has been chosen to highlight the reflective value of Choi’s visit:

NEWS OF THE SCHOOL

Gratitude: “Dear Minju Choi, Thank you so much for coming in today! As you said, when guest artists come in, it’s a really wonderful and special break in the school day.”

“Hearing your artistry on the piano was an incredible opportunity and your performances left me in awe. “ “Overall, I think you are my favorite speaker that has ever come to Park Tudor.”

“Thank you for coming to play for us. Your performance of Liszt Totentanz was breathtaking - the incredible, continuous force and complexity of the song seemed unbelievable from a single instrument.”

Challenges Involved With ’Living Between Different Cultures’: “Being a child of immigrants myself, I understand the difficulties of living between two differing cultures. I appreciate how you chose to showcase pieces that exemplified a successful balance of merging - yet distinguishing - the various worlds that make up our identities.”

“What you said about culture really struck a chord with me (no pun intended). I myself am half Iranian and American. My dad immigrated when he was young, and a lot of my family still lives in Iran.

Throughout my life it’s been a little difficult balancing the two cultures in my head, since they are so different. As a result, it gives your music a really special meaning that you put that perspective of thought into it; I don’t think I’ve heard many songs that seem to take that aspect.”

“I have been playing the piano for 9 years now, and you have inspired me to love and enjoy playing the piano at a higher level.”

“While your piano playing was exceptional, I will truly always remember what you said about finding a joy in doing something you love.”

Thanks to Lorelei and the instrumental music students of Fine Arts for sharing these amazing responses. We also thank Minju for orchestrating her vision!

The following students contributed to the quotes above: Nandini Mathavan Grade 9 Ian Minor Grade 9 Humza Raza Grade 9 Vanessa Xiao Grade 9 Parisa Mershon Grade 10 Isha Ponuguti Grade 11 Shea Aquilano Grade 12 Julia Waddles Grade 12 In November, Minju released her solo debut album, “Boundless,” which is a compilation of solo piano music by American composers of today. More information is available at www.minjuchoi.com.

More information about “Boundless” is available at https://www. gramophone.co.uk/review/minju-choi-boundless

Extraordinary Educators Providing Extraordinary Opportunities: “I’ve seen a few piano concertos at the ISO, but it’s so hard to hear the dynamic range because I usually sit towards the back. Being so close you startled me a few times (in the best way!). Everyone I spoke to after was still raving over it.”

“I think it is so cool that you still come back here after all those years and spend time with the kids and show them what this school helped you become.”

Student Empowerment: “It was really inspiring to see you play the piano and to have a lot of passion for it, as I also play the piano and have for a while. As well, seeing you being able to pursue a career you love is also very inspiring.”

“It’s so inspiring that an alumnus from our school was able to be as successful as you are in something they love and cherish (especially a field as difficult as music).”

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX FALL2018

J.B. Rogers ’82 has enjoyed a long and successful career in Hollywood, working on commercial hits including American Pie, There’s Something About Mary, Dumb & Dumber, and Me, Myself & Irene. Most recently, he teamed with longtime partner Peter Farrelly on the critically acclaimed film, Green Book, winner of multiple Academy Awards including Best Picture.

Green Book tells the story of Dr. Donald Shirley, a renowned jazz pianist, and his concert tour of the south in the 1960s, hiring New York “wise guy” Tony Vallelonga (a.k.a. Tony Lip) as his chauffeur and body guard. The film’s title refers to the guide – known as the Green Book – that African Americans used in the Jim Crow era to identify places where they would be welcomed to stay, eat, and visit during their travels.

NEWS OF THE SCHOOL FEATURE

I recently caught up with J.B. for a behind-the-scenes look at the film and his whirlwind award season.

You grew up here in Indianapolis; how did you get into the film industry?

I graduated from Emory University with a degree in history, and I was originally planning to go to law school. I’d always been interested in film, and I had a friend who was going to spend the summer in L.A. taking photography classes. I had a free summer before law school, so I decided to go with him. I took film classes and interned at New World Pictures. I begged to go on movie sets and they finally let me; I started working as a production assistant on various projects, and worked my way up from there.

You are the Co-Producer and First Assistant Director of Green Book.

What do those roles entail?

It’s a little more complicated than this, but essentially the Assistant Director directs the crew, while the Director (Peter Farrelly in this case) directs the actors. I’m in charge of planning the shoot schedule – what we shoot on what day and the order the scenes are shot, for example. I’m dealing with the actors, too, but the Director really guides their performances.

My relationship with Pete Farrelly goes back to Dumb & Dumber (released in 1994), so he made me Co-Producer so that I would have equality with the Producer in terms of giving notes and input on the film.

J.B. Rogers with Viggo Mortenson, star of Green Book.

What has this awards season experience been like for you?

I’ve been in Albuquerque working on a show for Netflix, so I’ve been flying back to L.A. just about every other weekend for different awards ceremonies – my tux has been getting a workout. For Pete Farrelly, it’s basically been a full-time job to attend all of the events.

You live in Indianapolis. Why did you decide to move back?

We moved back to send our sons (Baxter ’16, Weston ’18, and Drake ’20) to Park Tudor. We were living in Idaho and we found that the schools out there weren’t that great – certainly not like Park Tudor – so we decided to move back to Indianapolis when they were still in grade school. I work wherever the productions are located; as long as I can make it to L.A. for meetings, I can live wherever I want.

You have such a long, multi-generational connection with Park Tudor; what has the school meant to you and your family?

I think the most important thing for my kids and I has been the great education that we have received. The academic program is great, but the size of the school is also important. Park Tudor’s size gives you lots of opportunities to do the other stuff, like drama, music, sports, trips - opportunities that you might not get at a larger or smaller school.

(Editor’s Note: J.B.’s parents, Baxter and Carol Cummings Rogers, graduated in 1959 from Park School and Tudor Hall, and his sister,

NEWS OF THE SCHOOL Anne Rogers Mitchell, graduated from Park Tudor in 1985. Carol Rogers also taught for many years at Park Tudor until she retired in 2017.)

How did Park Tudor prepare you for what you’re doing today?

Park Tudor makes you well-rounded, which has been helpful for me. Filmmaking is a hardcore business that’s very focused on making money, but it’s based on an art form. My Park Tudor background has helped me navigate both of those sides. Certainly a strong English background and critical thinking skills have also been hugely important, so that I can read and analyze - and in some cases rewrite – scripts.

Who were your most influential teachers at Park Tudor?

Certainly Mr. (David) Kivela had a major impact on me; I also loved Ms. (Christina) Van Riper’s classes. I enjoyed Mr. Kivela’s classes so much that I ended up majoring in history in college. I also took sociology from him. One day I was hanging out at the “T” in the hallway and Mr. Kivela came by and asked me what I was doing; I said, “nothing, I have a free period,” and he convinced me to come take his sociology class instead.

What’s next for you after all of the success of Green Book?

I’m currently working on a show called “Daybreak” for Netflix, and Pete Farrelly and I do a series for DirectTV in Canada – we’ll likely be shooting the third season later this year. But, I’ll be unemployed in six weeks; I never really know what’s happening until the phone rings. I always tell people that if you can’t handle uncertainty, don’t get into the film industry.

J.B. Rogers holds an Oscar won by Green Book.

Alumni News The very first attempt at building a “war machine” was made by the Park School Latin class of Bernard Barcio in 1966. Though it was not entirely successful, the idea spread to other Latin programs in town and around the state and eventually coast to coast. More information on the contest is available at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Catapult_Contest.

David Sams ’73, Former Park Tudor Latin teacher Bernard Barcio and Lee Alig ’73, taken when David and Lee interviewed Bernard for the documentary.

Documentary Reflects on Park School/Park Tudor Catapult Contest Nearly fifty years ago on March 15, 1970 - the Ides of March Culver Military Academy accepted the challenge to compete against Park School in Indianapolis in the catapult contest that Park School began in 1966. Park built a new trebuchet catapult (counter weight machine) for the competition, the Mars II. A costumed parade and snow flurries marked the occasion. Park was victorious in the landmark event, hurling a 10 pound rock 228 feet. The event was covered nationally by NBC news.

Recently posted on YouTube, “Support Your Local Catapult” is a collection of television, newsprint and a recent interview commemorating a time that Latin students from Park Tudor and North Central and Culver built and fired catapults in nationally recognized competitions that went on for eleven years.

Park School students with the original catapult built in 1966.

We often see each other in the operating room suites or around the hospital, but for three weeks in January-February 2019 we were able to work on the same team in the surgical intensive care unit at University hospital. It was a rewarding yet tiring experience, and it was made easier knowing I had an old friend by my side to discuss diagnosis and treatment for these complex medical cases.
