Jacqueline Pinon, SPX 2018 Salutatorian and 2022 Vanderbilt University Graduate, began her first year of medical school at the University of New Mexico in the summer of 2022. With a focus on pediatrics, specializing in endocrinology, Jacque cites past SPX Biology teacher, Rebecca Giron as her inspiration. As President of NHS, member of Student Council, Homecoming Queen, four-year Varsity Letterman, and two-time State Champion in cross country, and track & field, Jacque doesn’t remember a teacher she didn’t enjoy but was especially fond of Coach Jeff Turcotte, who was always there for her. During her senior year, Jacque considered offers from universities around the country and ultimately committed to running cross country & track at Vanderbilt. She spent her first two years dealing with injuries but bounced back her Junior and Senior years, beating her personal record in the 3k and 5k. Jacque graduated with dual degrees in Molecular & Cellular Biology and Health and Society with hopes of attending medical school and eventually practicing in New Mexico, wanting to make a difference in her community. “Vanderbilt was an incredible experience, but I missed NM and the environment that SPX provided. I am thankful for everything SPX taught me in the classroom, on the track, and especially my faith in God.”

Athletics

When Scott Lardner ’79 graduated from St. Pius X, he was 5’8” and a member of the Varsity Baseball Team who doesn’t remember getting much playtime. Today, Scott is 6’4” and spent much of his adult life playing softball. However, some of his fondest memories are on the field, loading baseball gear in Coach McAffee’s car, and with his classmates, many of whom he is still very close to today. One of those classmates and best friends, Pat Gillooly, introduced Scott to his sister, Chris ’78, whom he would later marry. After graduating from SPX, Scott attended NM State and credits the quality of education he received at SPX, which enabled him to test out of several introductory classes. SPX prepared Scott academically and spiritually, and set the foundation for life. While at SPX, his biggest influences were Mr. and Mrs. Tybor, Sr. Linda, and Fr. David Sharp, “who was not the most traditional priest.” Fr. Sharp was such an influence in Scott’s life that he married Scott and Chris and baptized their three children; Danielle ’07, Katie ’08, and Sean ’13. Believing that SPX gave him a “leg up in life, business and relationships,” Scott is President of the family business Rocky Mountain Stone, works with his brother, Jim ’84, and his son, Sean ’13, who will someday take over the business.

Fine Arts

Ministry

Jessica Fripp ’98 discovered her passion for Art History as a Senior at SPX while fulfilling her Fine Arts credit. As a three-year member of AcaDec, she was on the first SPX team to compete in Nationals and brought home the bronze in Art History. The summer after graduation, Jessica traveled to Europe before beginning her first year at the University of California in San Diego on a Biology/Medical track. However, after she took her first Art History class, she changed her major to Art History and began pursuing her true passion. Over the next several years, Jessica spent summers in Paris while acquiring a Master’s Degree from Williams College and her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. Coming from a family of medical professionals, Jessica acknowledges that the AP Art History class she took as a senior sparked her life’s work, “Not a lot of people realize Art History is a field in which you can major. SPX offers a rare and unique opportunity that most high schools don’t.” In 2020, Jessica published her first book, Portraiture and Friendship in Enlightenment France and is working on her second book. She is an Associate Professor of Art History at Texas Christian University, focusing on art and visual culture of the eighteenth century, fashion, portraiture, and artists’ social networks.

Fr. Ed Domme ’67, fondly called by his classmates, “E.C.”, thoroughly enjoyed his SPX high school experience as a scholar and a multi-sport varsity athlete. After graduation, he attended UNM and pledged Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji) with fellow Sartan, Joe Corazzi, where he studied General Studies and Business. During college, spirituality and the Catholic faith continued to be a big part of his life, and the idea of entering seminary was always in the back of his mind. In his fifth year of college, Fr. Domme decided if he was not married or seriously involved by graduation, he would enter the seminary. In 1972, his father gave him a newspaper article about a seminary opening in Rome, and he decided to go. After spending six years studying, he was ordained in 1979 and had the honor of meeting and serving Mass with Pope John Paul II. Post ordination, Fr. Domme spent ten years at several parishes in Illinois before returning to Rome to study. In 1990, he joined the Navy as a Chaplain and served the next nine years in VA, HI, and CA before returning to the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. Two years later, he returned to his original home parish, Our Lady of the Assumption, and has been there ever since, “Catholicism has offered me a great life. I am grateful and blessed.”
