a message from our BOARD OF REGENTS CHAIR...

Dear Providence Community, In March we announced the appointment of Mr. McLarty as Head of School, and after a long wait he started his new beginning in July. In the coming months, Mr. McLarty will be very busy getting to know the unique and special PHS community. One common theme stood out from Mr. McLarty’s references - that he will live and lead the Providence mission. I am certain you will join me in making him feel at home.

The spring and summer are filled with new beginnings and regrowth, and that is especially true for our community this year: we graduated the class of 2019, said thank you and goodbye to Mr. Joe Sciuto, and welcomed Mr. Scott McLarty. The accomplishments of the class of 2019 are remarkable. It was an honor to congratulate each of them at the commencement ceremony in early June. To the graduates, beginning a new chapter in college (and of course, the summer before college which I recall as a great three months), I offered the following advice: associate with positive people, communicate with teachers and peers, cultivate your support system, and find time to relax and decompress.

Of course, as the school year commences, we all have a new beginning. On behalf of the Board of Regents, I wish everyone in our community a happy and healthy summer and look forward to the 2019-2020 school year. In Providence,

Mr. Sciuto has a new beginning at Mayfield Junior School. While we will all miss him, I understand why he feels it is the right time to make a change. I am grateful for the many important contributions he has made during his tenure at Providence, and I am sure you will join me in wishing him nothing short of the best in his future role. I am sure we will see him around the PHS campus in the months and years to come, especially to watch basketball games.

Stuart Posin Chair, Board of Regents YOU BELONG HERE.

Go Green!

Announcing New Head of School Scott McLarty

O

n March 14, 2019 the Providence High School Board of Regents unanimously voted to accept the recommendation of the Search Committee for Mr. Scott McLarty to become the next Head of Providence High School, effective July 1, 2019.

In addition to the previously noted roles, he has served in many other school positions in his career. He has taught religious studies for grades 9-12. He has also been the Director of Admissions at Bellarmine College Preparatory and adjunct professor at DePaul University. He currently serves on the Board of Trustees for the Hollywood School House.

Mr. McLarty comes to PHS with sixteen years of experience in the field of Catholic education. He began his leadership career as president of the Saint Ignatius Teachers Association and continued as director of the Office for Peace and Justice at the Archdiocese of Chicago, and most recently was the head of Mercy High School in San Francisco. During his time at Mercy he secured the two largest single donations in the school’s history. Mr. McLarty is reflective, thoughtful, articulate, warm, and engaging. He is excited to be Head of School at PHS as this is an opportunity to move into a school that already has a strong reputation and is operating from a position of strength. He appreciates working for sponsored schools as he has done throughout his career. These schools benefit from a clear identity and a shared language, stories, and histories—all of which is powerful in informing the life and work of the school.

Mr. McLarty has impressive and broad academic credentials. He holds a B.A. and M.A. in English/Theology/Social Justice from Loyola University Chicago. He is currently working on his Ed.D. in Catholic Educational Leadership at the University of San Francisco. McLarty immerses himself in his community. While in San Francisco he was a board member and chair of Breathe California of the Bay Area. He was also co-chair of a project based learning (PBL) committee in San Jose. During his tenure in Santa Clara, he volunteered his time for the Pastoral Council at St. Clare Parish. “The world needs schools like Providence and its mission is as relevant today as it was at its founding in 1955. My time on campus allowed me to feel the warmth of the community, the energy and intellectual engagement of the students, the passion and professionalism of the faculty and staff, and the mission and charism of the Sisters of Providence. I could not be more excited to start my journey as a Pioneer and serve PHS as Head of School,” said McLarty.

“I am so grateful to the Search Committee, Board of Regents, Providence St. Joseph Health, and the entire Providence High School community for entrusting me with this position. I am excited to join the PHS community because of its rich history of educational excellence in service of the common good, especially the poor and vulnerable,” reflected McLarty.

Escaping From a Traditional Learning Approach By Mrs. Allison DeFrancesco Castro ‘02 Assistant Head of School

I

f you were told that you would be trapped in a room with thirteen of your colleagues or classmates and have one hour to solve puzzles and escape as a team, what would be your first move? This is the challenge I presented to a group of students and faculty and staff this past school year, and they were some of the most memorable, fun, and engaging learning opportunities. Escape rooms, also known as break-out rooms, have become a common

Pioneer Connections

interactive experience that audiences enjoy with a group of friends or even complete strangers. In an escape room, the group begins in an enclosed space, usually in an office building, warehouse, bus, or classroom. Participants are prohibited access to their phones and they are usually given a maximum time limit to escape. The group must communicate and work together to solve riddles, find secret messages, keys, or codes to unlock elements in the room. In recent

8


years, escape rooms have sprung up in most large cities, and they attract people of all ages. We at Providence could not help but wonder how this cultural phenomenon could be applied and woven into a classroom experience. In the past few years, we have used this escape room approach to design our own unique experiences for students, faculty, and staff. In 2015, we designed one for all of our faculty and staff, and it was a zombie-themed experience where the adults had to survive by escaping in time. Then, at the beginning of this past school year, when welcoming ten new faculty and staff members, we took the group to an escape room. This time, it was a casino-themed room, and the individual teachers and staff instantly became a team as they worked together to escape before 90 minutes elapsed. This past semester, I was honored to teach our school’s Public Speaking class. Made up of fourteen students, including sophomores, juniors, and seniors, the class emphasized all aspects of communication, and I used the break-out room approach for a lesson to allow me to better get to know my students and for them to better get to know one another. With limited information, the students did not waste any time getting started as they explored the room for clues. Even the most outgoing and independent students quickly realized that the success of the exercise would depend on their ability to involve their peers. The best discovery during the activity came after students had been carrying around a blacklight for 20 minutes and shining it in all places around the room looking for the next clue. They struggled with the clue that said, “Ask Mrs. Castro for a hand for the next clue.” Finally, it was senior, Christian Lipton ‘19, who guided the group to shine the light on my hands. As soon as the light illuminated a secret code written on my hand, the group shouted with excitement!

students and the group as a whole. The students themselves make decisions about how they will participate and engage with others. Knowing students’ strengths allows us to better know our students as individuals in the learning process. Encouraged Team-Building: Although each participant enters the escape room as an individual, the exercise involves the whole group. Escaping requires communication and teamwork. Our students quickly learn a lot about themselves and how they engage in a team scenario. Following the experience, we responded to questions: What did we notice? Where did we struggle as a group? Who can we credit with an important discovery or accomplishment in the room? At the conclusion of each experience, the open debrief with the group has been especially valuable.

This experience has proven to be fun and engaging for students, faculty, and staff. Furthermore, from a pedagogical standpoint, the exercise is an innovative opportunity to engage all participants. Although one of the greatest benefits of an escape room is the entertainment, the following are some of the specific educational benefits we have found:

Incorporated Movement and Active Engagement: One of the greatest benefits of the escape room approach is that students are not seated in their desks. It really becomes a full body experience as participants are motivated to move throughout the room and work with all different people. The students get to decide how they will participate. I have never seen a student sit quietly and check out completely. The setting for learning is so unique and unexpected that it immediately motivates everyone to get involved.

Focused on Problem-Solving: An escape room can be incorporated into any discipline or content area. Although you can pay for a premade experience, we have found ways to create our own experiences on campus. It has enabled us to introduce new lessons, review a unit of content, and even consider putting it in place of a standard final exam! The participants are invited to learn something new through a motivating scenario. Participants have an opportunity to learn content and skills by solving problems while fostering a memorable experience.

In the end, although you hope you escape, it really is not what the participants talk about most. Sure, you want to win, but the true benefit of the experience is the experience itself. These experiences have proven to be a beneficial and engaging way to actively engage our students in the content and it is yet another way that we are pioneering the way with unique learning experiences.

Highlighted Students’ Strengths: This exercise puts the students at the center of the learning experience. Although the teacher is in the room, he or she simply participates as a facilitator and observer. During the exercise, the teacher can jot down notes about the strengths and dynamics they are witnessing from the

CalTech Graduate Student Visits AP Chemistry Class

I

n 2018, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Frances H. Arnold, an American chemical engineer, for pioneering the use of directed evolution to engineer enzymes. Dr. Arnold currently serves as the Linus Pauling Professor of Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering and Biochemistry at the California Institute of Technology (CalTech) in Pasadena, California. Providence’s AP/ Honors Chemistry and Nutrition teacher, Ms. Rebecca Poliner, wrote to Dr. Arnold to congratulate her on her award and in a long-shot, extend an invitation to speak to our AP Chemistry students. Dr. Arnold responded to Ms. Poliner, explaining that

she was, understandably, quite busy with engagements but that she would be happy to send a member of her team who worked on directed evolution under her direction. On Wednesday, January 23, team member Patrick Almhjell, a Ph.D. graduate student in the Arnold Lab at CalTech, spoke to Mrs. Poliner's AP Chemistry class. Mr. Almhjell talked about his experience and journey thus far. He detailed the path he took to becoming a graduate student, the realities of pursuing a Ph.D., working in a research lab, and the actual science of what they

10


do. He spoke about how his research lead him to the Arnold Lab and began with optogenetics, which is a biological technique that involves the use of light to control cells in living tissue. He quickly became frustrated when he discovered that a key compound in his research, noncanonical amino acids, were extremely expensive ($2,000/g). Patrick joined the Arnold Lab as Dr. Arnold’s technique of directed evolution enabled him to make these molecules himself, for a fraction of the cost. One of the greatest challenges that biochemists face is how to effectively “design” new proteins. Arnold’s method of directed evolution introduces mutations into “parent” enzymes and then selects for those enzymes that have the desired trait.

to school, stressing the importance of applying to schools and labs out of genuine interest and not only because of the name or prestige. Mr. Almhjell impressed the importance of getting back up despite inevitable setbacks. He showed them that there are more ways to use a science education than a path into medicine. He even reflected with the students on how skateboarding shaped him as a scientist. The P.h.D student also described the role of collaboration, seeing it more than just competition citing his experience within the Arnold Lab. Ms. Poliner and her AP Chemistry students learned so much from all the experience and wisdom he shared. We are thankful for the time and experience that Dr. Arnold and Mr. Almhjell provided for our faculty and students.

Mr. Almhjell also shared his life experience, both in and outside the lab. He spoke about the value of failure, persistence, and life balance in his life. The Arnold Lab graduate student shared how important it was for him to follow his passions when applying

Farewell, Mr. Sciuto!

T

he Providence community said farewell to Mr. Sciuto in many different ways, but perhaps the most fun way was with a special assembly in his honor that culminated in an exciting basketball game.

Students spoke fondly about the impact Mr. Sciuto had on their lives and lessons they learned from the Leadership Skills course that he taught. They brought up memories, both poignant and humorous, but the main takeaway was how much Mr. Sciuto meant to the student body and the wisdom he imparted in their lives. Principal Allison DeFrancesco Castro ‘02 and Athletic Director Andrew Bencze ‘89 spoke about their working relationships and friendships with Mr. Sciuto and that although they will miss him, they know he will always be a PHS supporter and look forward to seeing him at PHS functions. After the speeches, Mr. Sciuto joined members of the faculty and coaching staff in a basketball game versus the students. It was a close game, but the adults secured a victory!

“What are you doing this summer?”

- Mrs. Susan Beckenham, Technology Focus Program Director “I will be walking the Camino de Santiago this summer. If you don’t know what that is, it is a 500+ mile pilgrimage from St. Jean Pied de Port in France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. I have been dreaming of this journey ever since Joanie [Fenstermaker] showed us the movie, “The Way” many years ago as a part of one of our Faith Formation days. The journey has been in the planning ever since that fateful day. As many of you also may know, I am nearing the completion of my doctoral journey, and hope to be completed by December of this year. Combined that with the loss of my dear [husband] John three years ago, this is the best way I see to continue my personal healing.”

- Dr. Arjan Harjani, Medical Focus Program Director “My wife and I will travel to India this summer. We are really looking forward to meeting family and visiting our high schools and colleges as well as our classmates.”

You came to PHS from coaching at the collegiate level. What made you decide to coach high school?

Moving forward, what do you hope to achieve?

After seven years of the college coaching lifestyle, I was burnt out. I wanted to remain in coaching but I wanted to do it on my terms. I always had the goal of becoming a head coach. I’m not sure if/ when that would happen for me at the college level, so I started to put some feelers out for what high school opportunities gave me that challenge in a place I chose to live. The transition has been great for me. Building a program has been a fun and exciting challenge.

I am very motivated to help those young men who have goals to play at the next level. The next box we need to check as a program is to have kids launch from Providence and go on to play collegiately. Not everyone will be able to do it but for those who have the potential, we really want to help achieve those goals. And for the kids who want to play and have a great high school experience, I want to continue to improve to play in more events. Los Angeles is a great location for high school sports, and we here at Providence have great potential to advance our programs.

What was the adjustment of coaching college level vs. high school level athletes?

Were you surprised to be named Coach of the Year? What does that honor mean to you?

When working with young players, maturity is always a big separator between great players and players looking to fulfill their potential. When working with college guys, you are catching them at different stages of their development. Ages 18-23 young men are getting ready to pursue their own life and be released out to the world. Ages 14-18 young men are starting to learn how to work and communicate efficiently, along with the natural growth from progressing from middle school to being ready to function in a high school classroom.

I was very surprised. Seeing that we lost to the eventual CIF and State Champion, I assumed that the coach from Ribet would have gotten the award. The coach from Ribet did a great job. I am very grateful to receive the award, I give a lot of credit to our players and my assistant coaches. I couldn't have done it without their commitment.

What are the major challenges of coaching at the high school level?

I am pretty low key for the most part. I play some video games when I get time. Call of Duty, NBA2k, and Madden are my games. Other than that, I enjoy going to the movies. I’m a big fan of all of the Marvel movies.

Your life seemingly revolves around basketball. What other interests/hobbies do you have?

The challenges are educating kids and families on what it takes to be a great player. Lots of kids have the goal to play at a collegiate level but do not understand what it takes and how important decision making is. Getting kids to fully commit is tough because at a high school age kids are discovering how passionate they are about playing basketball. There are some situations where parents want their kids to play more than the kid does, and then others where kids want to play and improve but do not have the support at home. This can be challenging but it is all a part of the process.

You’re a man of few words. What might surprise people about you? I am more friendly than I appear! I grew up in Portland. I used to play the alto and barry sax, I started to learn the bass clarinet before I stopped playing. I taught myself how to cut hair during my journeyman days. And here’s something weird: I have developed a fascination for palm trees since moving to SoCal!

What are you most proud of from the success of this last season? I am proud to see the growth of our young men. I challenge these guys constantly and they have met those challenges. We set a goal and we were right there knocking at the door. Winning CIF would have been great, but I am more proud that our guys found greater confidence in themselves and ultimately changed their own self-perception.

1959

(Photo 1) Carol Lex Tanner ‘59 - “Here’s an interesting happening in my life recently. For decades, one of my bucket list items has been to meet a current or past president in person, regardless of which political party. This year my daughter made my wish come true by buying tickets to attend a Bill and Hillary Clinton speaking event at The Forum in April. Not only were we seated in the second row, but we also had a oneon-one meet and greet with the former President and Secretary of State. It was a very special moment.”

1960’s

Doreen Belfiore Zakar ‘61, and her husband, Ken, have celebrated their 50th anniversary. Both are retired teachers who enjoy traveling and spending time with their three sons and their families.

1970’s

Elizabeth Flores ‘79 - “I am proud to announce that my fourth grade boys raised over $50 from recycling plastic bottles in order to protect their chosen endangered species, the rockhopper penguin. We were recognized by the World Wildlife Fund, Jane Goodall, and the Norton Simon Museum. Young people CAN make a difference!”
