Message from the Principal

Greetings to our Spartan Family!

Welcome to the latest issue of PostMark, our biannual compendium of great Spartan news, people, and activities. I hope you look forward to each Fall issue in the same way you eagerly anticipate the crisp, cool days of autumn after the summer warmth.

The issue you hold in your hand is a virtual cornucopia of all things Spartan – from a recap of October’s Alumni Weekend to the latest news about current students, curriculum, and co-curricular activities. You can catch up with the successes of alumni friends and also read about the good works of those who will join the alumni ranks in the coming years.

Within the wide variety of interesting stories in this issue, there is a common thread – these are the stories of people of Saint Mark’s High School who, whether they are part of this school now or were a part long ago, share a common experience that became an integral part of them as they walked these halls. They are – and always will be – interconnected across time and distance by being Spartans. How cool is that!

Sit back, relax, and spend some time with this PostMark and let it bring you back home to Saint Mark’s.

Go Spartans!

Wishing you God’s blessing,

Richard A. Bayhan Principal

Fall Open House 2016 Fall Open House 2016 Saint Mark’s opened its doors and welcomed over 800 visitors on Sunday, October 30. The annual Fall Open House serves as an opportunity for prospective families to experience Saint Mark’s first hand.

Interactive Science Lesson

This year, open house began with a warm welcome from the Saint Mark’s Marching Band, Choir and Drumline.

Prospective families met and spoke with students, teachers, coaches, and moderators at the Club, Sport and Activity Fair located in the gymnasium and cafeteria.

Saint Mark’s students then guided families throughout the school, making special stops for an interactive mathematic, social studies, engineering/robotics and science lessons.

My Why Stephanie Strocko ’01, Assistant Principal, Student Affairs in her own words

T

he first step on my journey with Saint Mark’s took place in August of 1996 as a high school freshman. That first step was one of many that would lead me to be the person who I am today.

I had the absolute perfect high school experience. It was here that I was given many opportunities that would set me on what I now see as a journey to personal success. An example of one of these opportunities and one of my greatest memories is being a member of our state championship volleyball team, part of a long legacy of title-holding teams. The bond I had with my teammates still brings a smile to my face and helped me to create friendships that remain to this day. The memories that we made have never faded; I still get the chills when I look at our banners hanging in the gym.

06

Life pulled me in many directions after graduation. Even so, the part of the journey that has remained constant was the road to Saint Mark’s. First, I was asked to return to Saint Mark’s volleyball as a coach. As a recent graduate who had the experience of a lifetime on the team, I felt like I had reached an incredible milestone. I gladly accepted and made it my goal to create the same extraordinary experience for the student athletes that I was able to have. I coached throughout my college career and was able to begin giving back to the school that had given me so much.

Like many college graduates, the journey on which I had set forth took some turns and I ended up at a somewhat different destination; rather, I arrived at a place that has been even better.

“It is obvious to me why I have never strayed away from this school; it has made a tremendous impact on my life and has given me innumerable reasons to be thankful.”

– Stephanie Strocko ’01

Strocko ’01 in the classroom during the Fall of 2015

In the summer of 2006, I was offered a teaching position at Saint Mark’s, and the milestone that I reached before as a coach seemed small in comparison. Working with the students in this way gave me an even greater ability to achieve the goals that I began working toward as a coach.

I then became the Student Council moderator after a few years of teaching, and through this role, I have been able to work with a number of incredibly talented young men and women. This position has made it clear to me what sets Saint Mark’s apart from other schools. For example, the people who led me at Saint Mark’s both as a student and as a teacher saw something in me, qualities that I never knew I had, and gave me the confidence and tools to become the woman I am today. As the Student Council moderator,

I have been able to pay this forward to the students and help them discover the qualities they have that will make them leaders both in the school and in the world.

This past August, I reached an incredible stop in the journey of my life when I became the Assistant Principal of Student Affairs here. Saint Mark’s has been a haven on my journey of life, a place that has nurtured my growth and given me what I have needed to achieve great successes in my life. It is obvious to me why I have never strayed away from this school; it has made a tremendous impact on my life and has given me innumerable reasons to be thankful. My prayer and hope is that my students will remember that Saint Mark’s can and will be a place that can be home to them as they embark on their own journeys.

Saint Mark’s Offers University of Delaware Courses

— Hannah Crook

They are considered dual-enrollment courses because students earn both high school credit and college credit for successful completion of each course. Two courses are being taught in the fall semester of 2016, “Introduction to Health Sciences” and “Nutrition Concepts.” “The Language of Medicine” will be taught on campus during the spring semester.

Dr. Kathleen Matt, a physiologist and dean of the University of Delaware’s Health Sciences, is teaching “Introduction to Health Sciences.” Speaking about the Saint Mark’s students, Dr. Matt says, “The students at Saint Mark’s are incredibly

I have learned about many different aspects of health care, and as a class we have discussed what would be beneficial to our country’s health care system.

— Natalie Comer

In addition to their regular studies, by the end of the semester both classes will have taken field trips to the University of Delaware’s Science, Technology, and Advanced Research (STAR) Campus to tour several labs in the facility. The University describes the facility as “…a hub of innovation, next-generation research, partnerships aligning UD and Delaware with

Here is what the students have to say about the university courses:

Nutrition class taught me the importance of nutrients in my diet, not just conceptually, but in a way that I can put into practice. This class has also prepared me for the classes I will be encountering next year and has taught me time management, which is crucial in college.

what we are learning ties in with my anatomy class. I am also learning how to change up my diet so that it benefits my body the most. I think that the experience has better prepared me for success in college and in life.

I’m very glad that I took the University of Delaware class this year. Although it is very challenging, it has showed me what college will be like and prepared me. Additionally, the course material is very interesting. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a challenge and who is interested in a medical career.

Saint Mark’s Alumni “On the Road” Denver Edition

Thirty-eight Saint Mark’s alumni attend MLB game at Coor’s Field in Denver, CO. The custom t-shirts were compliments of Saint Mark’s.

Who says reunions have to be local? The Class of 1974 originated the school’s first-ever Western Regional Reunion—held from August 5th to 7th in Denver, Colorado.

Alumni from eight classes (’73, ’74, ’76, ’81, ’83, ’03, ’04, ’05) traveled from five states (California, Texas, Colorado, Maryland, and Delaware) to reunite. School faculty and staff from the Cornerstone years heeded the call to come West, including former principal Ron Russo, former Alumni Director Tom Lemon, and teachers John Hannagan, Tom and Peggy Rosa, and Anne Harrison Smith. Three pairs of MarkMates made the trek: Mark and Mary Gorski (’74 &’76), Tom and Stephanie Stroz (’81 & ’83), and Shane and Kristen Malkin (’04 & ‘05). Drew Dorak ’74, with Colorado daughter Kristen Viehman ’03, and family added three generations of delight and fun. There is no doubt that the motto of “East Meets West” was genuinely realized!

Wine-tasting Reception: Featured classmate Ed Szubielski’s’ 74 award-winning wines from EB Winery (San Juan Capistrano, CA)

All of the festive activities were planned by Chris O’Neill Napelbaum ‘74, Kathy Krippahne Kassai ‘74, Cathi Klosiewicz Speck ‘74, and Pat Glenn ‘74, including hotel gift bags, a MLB game, winetasting reception, pedal hopping downtown, hiking and lunch in the Rocky Mountains, a pizza party with birthday cake, Mass, an Irish brunch, and more!

Saint Mark’s Alumni “On the Road” Denver Edition The weekend concluded with all alumni being totally grateful that the ‘foundation laid strong’—begun over 40 years ago—has now brought young alumni to connect with old; past teachers have become friends; and distant, irreplaceable memories are melded with new ones.

Through this spectacular Denver reunion, alumni were indeed ‘linked to Saint Mark’s through time’… in true embodiment of our alma mater.

The affirmation I received from both spoken

and written words will remain with me the rest of my life. I’d like to quote one of the young women who summarized what I had hoped to accomplish. Lisa Toccafondi Shutt ‘92 wrote, “The music she wove around us and with us made our experience beautiful, too. But the teaching she did wasn’t all about the music. It was about how to be a good person, the importance of being a good citizen in the school, how to make sure all people were cared for, felt affirmed and that everyone’s very different talents were recognized. These are lessons that we carry forth into our adult lives and draw on, even today.”

How fortunate I have been to have spent 47 unforgettable years singing wonderful music with many of the best students at Saint Mark’s High School!

Tanglewood Festival Chorus looked a lot like one of my “kids.” I sat up and took a closer look, and indeed it was my former student, David Halloran ‘73, who still sings with this fantastic group.

and weekends were devoted to rehearsals and performances.

Believe me when I say that these extra hours spent with the students, encouraging their striving to improve in every way, are also part of the joy that I experienced as a music teacher here at Saint Mark’s.

Alumni Weekend September 30 – October 2, 2016 Alumni Weekend 2016 was a success for Spartans on and off the field. With hundreds of Spartans across generations in attendance and a 42-7 victory over Archmere, it was truly a great start to Alumni Weekend 2016.

Alumni Tailgate

Alumni Mass

On Friday, September 30, prior to kick-off, Saint Mark’s welcomed alumni and friends for the Alumni Tailgate. The tailgate was the first of reunion festivities happening throughout the weekend. The Saint Mark’s Alumni Jazz Band played a wide selection of big band jazz music to complement the evening.

To bring Alumni Weekend 2016 to a close, on Sunday, October 3, the Alumni Mass was held on campus in the Rachel Ali Library. Mass was celebrated by Father John McVoy (Saint Mary’s and Saint Patrick’s) and began with a remembrance of the Spartans that have died. Retired Saint Mark’s teacher, Mrs. Pauline DeAscanis directed the choir. A light brunch followed the affair.

Lucas Dominica, President of the Alumni Association hosted more than sixty Spartans and their family members. “It was wonderful to see Spartans of all ages gathered to enjoy some good food while listening to the Alumni Jazz Band. Because we had the event in the school we were fortunate enough to gather the attention of some future SMH alumni. It’s my hope that students will use this window into alumni activity to remind them that they will always have community in Saint Mark’s,” reflected Lucas.

“Saint Mark’s brought us together and we remained together throughout each of our journeys in life.”

– Elizabeth “Lizzie” Williams ‘06 16

Alumni Multi-Class Reunions On Saturday, October 1, many alumni from the classes of 1976, 1981, 1996, 2001, 2006, and 2011 returned to campus for a festive evening to celebrate SMHS Alumni Reunion 2016.

The gymnasium served as the central location of reunion activities. Saint Mark’s provided guests with an open bar, heavy hor d’oeuvres, and dinner buffet. DJ Master G (George Kramedas) mixed tunes that brought multi-generations to the dance floor. Snaplogic Photography was on-site with a Spartan-inspired photo booth and gave alumni a branded keepsake. Many alumni took advantage of the guided school tours, with Fish Hallway being the most popular stop.
