A MESSAGE FROM BROTHER RON In this academic year, we have chosen Stewardship as our theme. Being good stewards begins with our own community. According to our Lasallian Vincentian Catholic tradition, we believe that caring for those students who come to us is a sacred duty. We join our families in educating these students in the Christian tradition of development of the whole person. Our inspiring leader, Pope Francis, has invited all of us to care for creation, our “common home”, and to care for the poor. These go hand-in-hand as Gospel values. As a school community, we embrace these values by preparing our students to be the builders and stewards of the future. For us that means providing a relevant quality education. Moreover, it means preparing them to be citizens with a Christian conscience and a zeal to make their world a more caring place. In this edition of Second Century, you will find many examples of Sacred Heart Cathedral alumni who have become shapers of the present and the future, alumni who have taken to heart our motto of “Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve.” Enjoy reading about them. I hope you are as inspired by their stories as I have been. God’s blessings on all of our alumni and friends, Sincerely,

sacred heart cathedral preparatory Enter to Learn; Leave to Serve Inspired by the Daughters of Charity and

Br. Ronald Gallagher, FSC, Ph.D President

the De La Salle Christian Brothers, in partnership with families, Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory’s mission is to provide the finest education in an inclusive Catholic community of faith. We prepare our students to become service-oriented leaders with a commitment to living the Gospel.

TEACHING 101 Teaching at SHC is a one-of-a-kind experience in many ways. Our student body is academically, culturally and economically diverse. We are sponsored by two religious orders, the Daughters of Charity and the De La Salle Christian Brothers. Lastly, we are located in the heart of the City. Any one of these would make us rather unique, but the combination of all three creates a wonderfully rich, educational environment for our new teachers. New teacher orientation has grown from a one-day introduction on school policies and procedures to a three-day session. This orientation begins with the Founders and their philosophy, continuing on to what it means to be a Lasallian and Vincentian teacher, specifically who we teach, technology in education, building classroom community, engaging all kinds of learners and building the critical thinking skills of each student. It can be a very steep learning curve for teachers who are new to our community.

De La Salle wrote to the early Brothers, “You are God’s co-workers in his work: the souls of the children you teach are the field which He cultivates through your works.” Given this responsibility, we in turn use the “It takes a village” approach to support our newest teachers. At least 25 people play a role in the August orientation days including several second-year teachers who share their insights and advice about our community, school culture and teaching at SHC. There are formal support structures in place (formation and professional development seminars and information meetings about upcoming events) and there is a huge informal support network of teachers who share their expertise and resources with their newest colleagues. We work as a community to support teachers so they will be in a position to set students up for success. Director of Professional Development Janet Shapiro

MEET A FEW STUDENTS FROM THE CLASS OF 2019 Devon Acosta Alyssa Antipa

My first few months at SHC have definitely been an adjustment but it has been a good one. I’ve made lots of new friends through both my classes and the cross country program. I have really enjoyed running for SHC and being a part of the SHC community. I enjoy my classes and feel that I am able to easily communicate with the faculty and staff. Alyssa knew that SHC was the school for her when she participated in the Irish for a Day Program. She’s taken a selfie with all of the bigfive animals in Africa.

Timothy Sweeters

So far my experience as a freshman at Sacred Heart Cathedral has been amazing. I really enjoy my classes, teachers, friends, athletics and the community. I recently played on the junior varsity volleyball team. We ended our season undefeated and league champions. Even though I was on a team of mostly sophomores, they treated me like family and were very kind to me. The athletic program is great for anyone who is interested in playing a sport at SHC. The coaches reach out to their players and care for them. The teachers really care for their students, making sure they are doing well in their classes, and interacting with them too. I am very happy with the choice I made. Devon’s favorite subjects are Science and World History. She doesn’t like watching horror movies because she gets scared really easily.

So far, SHC has been a terrific school and a perfect fit for me. Now that I have been here for a few months, I have gotten a good feel for the school. All of my classes are interesting and my teachers are excellent. Also, I am playing football, which has given me a chance to meet and get to know a bunch of other guys . Overall, I believe that my experience at SHC has been great so far and will only get better in years to come. One of Tim’s favorite things to do is mountain biking in North Star, Lake Tahoe.

Elizabeth Han Karina Bonilla Darian Raissi

My first months here at SHC have been great. I’m getting to know new friends, I like all of my teachers, and I’m definitely not as nervous as when I started out the year. The SHC community has been very welcoming towards me and the other freshmen. I especially enjoy the many clubs that I’m involved in like Coding, Robotics, Chess, and Speech and Debate. I hope to continue to be involved in the school in countless ways, including sports and service activities. I look forward to the chance to give back for all that I have received. Darian hopes to become an astrophysicist one day.

The first months of school were great. Sacred Heart Cathedral is a lot different from my elementary/ middle school. My old school was a very small school with about 20 people in each class so coming to SHC was a big change. I didn’t know many people coming into SHC, but I quickly made many friends. Everybody is really nice and the teachers are great and made it easier to adapt to the new classes. I’ve been having a lot of fun at Sacred Heart Cathedral, and am really glad that I chose to come here. Elizabeth is looking forward to singing in the choir and has visited different places like Death Valley and New York with her old school’s choir. She also used to be a competitive figure-skater and once received lessons from Olympic coach Frank Carroll.

Now that a couple of months have passed, I have grown more comfortable at SHC. Personally, the transition into high school from middle school was a bit challenging but peers and teachers have helped to make the change smoother. My experience at this school so far has been positive. Not only have I done well in academics, but I also have created several friendships. I find that the community at this school is very welcoming and generally loving. I’m excited for the next four years and all that comes along with being an SHC student. Karina has an older sibling who attended SHC, and seeing how much she enjoyed it, definitely persuaded her to attend our school.

Buster Posey Visits SHC

MARIO ALIOTO ’78: SPORTS INNOVATOR Mario Alioto ’78, a member of the San Francisco Giants front office since 1983, is responsible for all revenue and marketing areas of the organization as the Executive Vice President of Business Operations. Under his tenure, the Giants have been at the forefront of innovative sports marketing in the United States, from custom bobbleheads to dynamic ticket pricing to multiple ethnic heritage nights at the ballpark. His duties also encompass overseeing the relationships with the team’s media partners such as KNBR and Comcast SportsNet and NBC Bay Area. Since AT&T Park opened in 2000, Mario has been responsible for overseeing a record-breaking sales strategy that has consistently placed the Giants as one of the top ticket selling and sponsorship generating teams in all of baseball. This interview was transcribed from a recent phone interview with Mario. What are a few of your favorite high school memories?

This fall, SHC students were treated to a special visit by San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey and in-game reporter Amy Gutierrez at our Healthy Habits Assembly. Thanks to BODYARMOR SuperDrink, our students had a rare opportunity to engage with the three-time World Series Champion on campus. At the assembly, classes competed against one another in games designed to promote activity and students reflected on their reading of Michael Pollan’s Food Rules, the One School, One Book for the year. The school community also was introduced to Epicurean, SHC’s new food management partner, and students later had an opportunity to get to know Posey through a Q&A session. As Principal Gary Cannon introduced Posey, the Pavilion filled with cheers from a surprised and enthusiastic student body. Prior to the assembly, Posey joined members of the SHC varsity baseball and softball teams for an exclusive hands-on training session in the Coach Pilara Batting Facility. Cannon shared, “Mr. Posey sets an example by playing with grace and humility. He works hard, strives for excellence and focuses on the team rather than the individual. We hope our students find inspiration in his leadership and example.”

WINTER 2015

Back then, I would take the 25 Bryant and 47 Potrero to school every day. I played baseball through my junior year, and I was in the band every year, which was a big deal for me. I remember our rallies in the old gym, and being on student council for a few years. I have fond memories of Brother Louis Fabiano, FSC, who was our junior class moderator. I give him all the credit for teaching me that anything is possible if you just put your mind to it. I remember before a class mass when we to every consulate and asked to borrow their country’s flag. He also organized knocking on stranger’s doors in the neighborhood during Thanksgiving and delivering meals. Thinking about your years as a student, which faculty members were influential in your development? Mike Otterstedt is a name I remember. He left Sacred Heart to work at De La Salle where my three of my boys attended. It is funny that I had him as a student and so did my children. Dr. Ken Hogarty ’66, Brother Joseph Fabiano, FSC and Brother Louis Fabiano, FSC. I’m still in touch with a lot of my old classmates. Bishop Tom Daly ’78 and I talk all the time. I went to Spokane last year when he was installed as their new bishop. What did you do after high school? I was the first person in our family to go to college. My senior year, a Christian Brother took a van of students across the Bay to visit the St. Mary’s College campus. To me, Moraga was like Nebraska, it seemed so far away, yet I

realized I had an affinity for the Christian Brothers and their work ethic, always doing the right thing, and that realization carried me through college there. I ended up graduating from with a degree in Business Administration. What are your favorite memories as a Giants’ batboy? I was a Giants batboy back in the late ’70s. I had to convince Brother Arnold Stewart, FSC, to let me take a few afternoons off to make the games and go to work. I started when I was 12. Pete Rose, Hank Aaron and Willie Stargell were all the heroes of the day. I was pretty lucky being the visiting team’s batboy because I got free uniforms from all the other teams, even though I didn’t like wearing the Dodgers’ uniform. Talk to us about your journey after college and your marketing experience. I was given the opportunity to run the visiting clubhouse from 1980 to 1982. When I graduated, I wanted to get into the front office and have been here ever since. The Giants brand is entrepreneurial. To be creative, you have to take risks. For example, during Barry Bonds’ home run record chase, we saw a couple of fans bringing the rubber chickens to games, and we had already been playing the chicken dance when he got walked. We gave the rubber chickens to fans around the plate to show up on TV. Within three days, we had sold 20,000 rubber chickens for $10.00 each. It is all about building the brand, and making it a fun place to hang out. Sleepover night with fans bringing their tents out, the dog days of summer and celebrity chefs that sampled food on the field, these were all ideas our team came up with that proved successful. In 1994, we were the first team to have a day dedicated to HIV/AIDs awareness. It was called Until There’s a Cure Day and we’ve been holding the event ever since.

1999 was our last year in Candlestick Park and we wanted to do some retro items. As a child, I remembered getting a bobble head in the souvenir stand. I suggested making one of Willie Mays. Fans loved the box as it was heavy and substantial, but nowhere did we imagine that bobble heads in 2015 would still be the number one promotional item in all of sports.

“The Giants brand is entrepreneurial. To be creative, you have to take risks.” We are in the business of fun. My former boss, Pat Gallagher, said we can control everything except what is happening on the field. As of 2015, we had 30,000 full-season ticket holders out of 41,000 seats and that took a lot of time and effort to cultivate. Can you talk about dynamic ticket pricing and your part in bringing that idea to the forefront of professional sports? Russ Stanley, who oversees our ticketing operation, and I talked about the idea for dynamic ticket prices for years. The night that Bonds broke the all-time home run record, the lower box seats were being sold for $32.00, but they were worth a lot more. We realized that there are fans who will pay a premium depending on the game and situation. We can let the market decide which are premium games, while at the same time making the other games more affordable to all fans. Looking back, what is the most rewarding aspect of your career? My grandfather lived with us when I was young, and going to games with him on weekends was a family experience. We are creating that atmosphere for other families now. For me, it is all about keeping that continuity going and passing it down to future generations. We talk a lot about heroes, and people usually say Mays or McCovey. But really the players I looked up to as a kid were those who were playing during my early teens, players like John Montefusco and Johnnie LeMaster. They aren’t necessarily the players who won the most games, but they are the individuals who stick to me as the most influential in my love for the game of baseball today. I’m proud to be a part of an organization like the Giants who do so much to celebrate its history while staying relevant today.

It’s in Our DNA: IGNITING A PASSION FOR LEARNING

“P

eople used to think about what teachers were teaching. Now, we think about what students are learning. It sounds simple, but it’s a gigantic paradigm shift.” Coming from Dr. Ken Hogarty ’66, this statement deserves attention. As a student, teacher and administrator at Sacred Heart and Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory for more than 50 years, Ken has a perspective on the school’s history and evolution that few can rival. Literally, his life has been lived at the corner of Gough and Ellis. As a lifelong educator, however, he can also view the growth of the school through the broader prism of education as a whole, how SHC has both followed and set the trends outside of its walls. When taken in the context of our Founders, though, the growth of SHC is merely animating the centuries-old Lasallian Vincentian philosophy of instilling a passion for learning in all students. The student-centric paradigm Ken references is the roadmap for the way each individual student is trained, nurtured and challenged here at SHC. Sacred Heart Cathedral’s educational ethos has always been built on this foundation, a foundation of unwavering dedication to the service of individual students, while at the same time instilling in them a critical and curious intellectual nature. Time after time, alumni reflect on learning experiences they had during the four years spent on Ellis Street as sparking a passion that led them to life-long careers.

Our Tradition All of the Founders were innovators of their time. It was more than three centuries ago in France when St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac established the first religious group of women dedicated to taking their works of charity beyond the cloister walls and out into the community. These, of course, were the Daughters of Charity. French priest and educational reformer St. John Baptist de La Salle is considered the founder of the first Catholic schools and the patron saint of all teachers. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton is credited as a pioneer of Catholic

education who paved the way for the parochial school system in the United States. All of these great men and women saw systemic gaps in the times when they lived, gaps that only made the plight of the underserved more daunting. They stepped into these voids and educated young people, focused on the act of learning. The merger of Sacred Heart and Cathedral high schools is another highlight in this legacy. In creating a co-ed Catholic high school in San Francisco, former Brother Philip Clark, FSC, and Sister Joan (Audrey) Gibson, DC, identified a mutually-beneficial need for both student bodies and acted accordingly. They merged the missions of the two schools, transformed the curriculum to college-preparatory status and established a culture of innovation among the faculty that over the years has led to the establishment of the De Paul Scholar Program, a vibrant faith community, cocurriculars that extend the learning experience, the Piro Program, Academic Explorations, the Inquiry and Innovation Program (I2), the resequencing of the Science curriculum and the increase of inter-disciplinary and online UCapproved classes.

ADVENTURES IN LEARNING “Putting students first is a very Lasallian concept, and SHC was ahead of the curve in adopting this mindset. Evidence of this is visible throughout our school, from the way teachers collaborate with each other, to the way they encourage student participation, to the way the physical classroom spaces are arranged to enhance interaction and learning,” comments Dr. Ken Hogarty ’66. Every semester, faculty and students have the opportunity to explore subjects that stimulate individual students’ inquiry through our Academic Explorations (AEs). Of the AEs, Assistant Principal for Academics Joan O’Neill says “Our faculty encourages students to play with ideas, to stay curious and to take intellectual risks. Interdisciplinary AEs in particular have proven successful in allowing students to expand our curriculum.” AE topics have included: • Noteworthy trials of the 20th Century and the interplay of morality and the law • The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in robotics and in our daily lives • The refrigeration of food and medicine without using fuel, and exploring potential impacts in developing countries

WINTER 2015

From Experiencing to Creating the Experience Ken recalls that when he was a student in the ’60s, Sacred Heart High School was only just beginning to experiment in electives. Up to that point, all students at SH took the same six courses, with the possible exception of either Latin or Spanish. As a senior, though, he had the opportunity to take a new political science seminar introduced into the curriculum by Brother John Waller, FSC. The young Ken was inspired by this discussion-based style of learning. As director of the De Paul Scholar Program, he developed a philosophy-based class for all De Paul Scholar seniors called Senior Seminar. Keen to providing students the space to be curious, Ken also added January Projects to the DePaul Scholar senior year curriculum. During the month of January, students focus on exploring a personal passion. He has seen these projects plant seeds that led to future careers, noting, “I vividly remember the project of Roberto Carebeo ’95 and Heather Hall ’95. They created blueprints and a model for barrel-roll cathedrals, something even architects doubted they could pull off as well as they did. After graduating from Princeton, Roberto did indeed become an architect.” January Projects continue to provide students with the time and space to explore a passion or curiosity. Last year, Julianne Cravotto ’15 wrote, directed and produced a silent movie, and Sam Zaroff ’15 did an interactive presentation about the history of drumming. The passion for learning extends beyond the DePaul Scholar Program. For some alumni, it was the experience with faculty that ignited this passion. Joanna Chang ’04 and Tammy Chang ’06 are Dr. Ken Hogarty ’66 sisters who were both influenced towards the engineering field, each receiving their BS degrees in Civil Engineering and Masters of Science in Structural Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. Joanna named Mr. George Cosmos ’60, as well as Mrs. Judy Scudder and Mr. Jim Jordan as teachers who held special influence over her young life. In Jordan’s English class in particular, Joanna was tasked with interviewing a professional who held a job that she would be interested in pursuing. From this interview, she gleaned the knowledge that pointed her to the engineering

Tammy’s own experience in Mr. Tom Farrell’s physics class reinforced her curiosity about engineering. “It was really interesting to learn about acceleration, gravity, and how to make a wooden car (powered by mousetraps) run up a hill so that we could try to beat other students for extra credit.” Mr. Farrell also introduced Tammy to the ACE (Architect, Construction, and Engineering) Mentor Program where she further explored her interests. SHC’s academically challenging yet nurturing environment has allowed for students to expand interests while preparing for a future career. Fiorella Vasquez ’11 diligently took many honor and AP courses at SHC before enrolling and grad-

uating from San Francisco State University with a degree in Civil Engineering. She enjoyed her math and science courses at SHC, yet reflects fondly on Ms. Marie Joanna Chang ’04 Bernard’s French class, which instilled her appreciation of French culture. By graduation from San Francisco State, Fiorella had already secured an internship with San Francisco general contractor Herrero Builders Incorporated, which led to her full-time employment as a project engineer. She is currently working on the CPMC Sutter Hospital project at Van Ness and Geary, getting exposure to construction and engineering concepts in action. As a neighbor of the school, the CPMC hospital will have a profound effect on the Cathedral Hill area and SHC for years to come, a potential strategic partner offering internships and mentorships for future students of the school, as well as a local economic engine. Fiorella is impressed by the new science labs and the amount of technology students have available to them in the classroom, not-

ing a dramatic change in just four short years since graduation. As for the Chang sisters, Joanna works at San Francisco-based Degenkolb Engineers, a leading structural engineering firm specializing in the design and seismic strengthening of buildings. Her current project is a new children’s hospital, where her team is designing the anchorage for equipment, partition walls, and other items that could pose a threat during an earthquake if not properly secured. Her work will have a sizable impact on the seismic safety of our community for years to come. Tammy is a project manager with Cahill Construction. The project she is most proud of is University of San Francisco’s John Lo Schiavo Center for Science and Innovation, a building with fume hoods, deionized water and autoclaves that required coordination between very complex mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. This was also Tammy’s first LEED project (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design green building certification program). It was Cahill Construction that built SHC’s Student Life

Center while Tammy was a student. In recalling how excited the students were at the grand opening, she comments, “I now know I can be a part of bringing that joy to others.” The tradition of inspiring curiosity and creating experiences continues to flourish with our current students. Sydney White ’18 is a sophomore in the I2 Program, founded and led by Dr. Ramsey Musallam. The four-year curriculum, which culminates with a Capstone Project on the Kickstarter platform, challenges its scholars to identify and leverage their passions for science, technology, engineering, mathematics and design in order to serve as agents for change in the world. By placing their unique interests and gifts in the context of social justice and mercy, the students imagine, design and create solutions to self-identified problems. Inspired by her love for children, Sydney’s passion is to become a pediatric oncologist. For her I2 Kickstarter project, she began creating care packages for children with serious illnesses. Every package Sydney White ’18 contains a handmade fleece blanket and a variety of toys and games. Sydney initially just set up an Instagram account to build awareness of childhood cancer, but this eventually evolved into sending the care packages. Today, children apply for blankets through Sydney’s Instagram or Facebook pages, and can choose what kind of characters, colors, or patterns that they want on the blanket. Sydney has also created a YouTube video to support her fundraising page and has started a side project, sending rubber "Bracelets of Bravery" to children to remind them to be strong. While Sydney has already met her KickStarter fundraising goal, she continues to raise money because ill children continue to send in applications. Her next idea is to expand her program by selling T-shirts, with half of the proceeds going towards blankets and the other half going directly to childhood cancer research. As a current student, Sydney is experiencing how SHC nurtures a passion for learning, how she is being mentored and inspired by her teachers and classmates. What she may not realize, though, is how much alumni have been inspired to create the learning environments she experiences every

ROBOTICS TEAM OVERVIEW The Sacred Heart Cathedral robotics team, VEX team #8255, is in its first year with more than 40 dedicated members spending countless hours honing their engineering and programming skills in Room 201. VEX is an educational platform that uses robotics to integrate STEM curriculum around the United States. An initiative of the Inquiry and Innovation (I2) Scholar Program, the team includes both I2 and other SHC students from all grade levels who are excited about participating in competitive robotics. This year’s VEX challenge, “Nothing But Net,” challenges teams to build robots capable of harvesting and shooting small basketballs into 4 ft. goals. With only two months of preparation, team #8255 has made great progress and is expected to be very competitive at upcoming competitions. For more information, visit vexrobotics.com.

day. Miguel Guzman ’90 pursued his passion for math and science, and received his degree in Civil Engineering at UC Berkeley. While still at Berkeley, Miguel began an internship with Cahill Contractors that evolved over time into a vice president position. After 21 years, his entrepreneurial spirit inspired him to start his own business, Miguel Construction Group. Over the years, he has amassed an impressive portfolio, having worked on projects such as the Union Square renovations, the USF Center for Science and Innovation (alongside Tammy Chang), the De La Salle High School Hoffman Center and STREAM Building, and Stanford’s Hoover Medical Office Building. Nevertheless, says Miguel, “They’re all eclipsed by the projects I was involved with at SHC: The Student Life

Center, the Fitness Center and weight rooms, the Sister Caroline Collins, DC, Theater and the science classroom renovations. Being able to contribute to the vision and mission of SHC brings me back full circle. It gives me a huge sense of accomplishment to know that what I contribute today will be there for generations to come.” As with Ken, and with all of these alumni, Miguel hints at something unexpected: a self-sustaining system of education that fosters intellectual curiosity and social justice, a school whose ethos and principles inspire students not only to professional achievement, but to come back and contribute to the education and success of future students as well. This is a stewardship that should please not only the present-day SHC community, but the Founders as well.

She appeared in all 85 games with the Bears over her four years, scoring 16 goals (5 game-winners) and 8 assists in her career. She scored two goals in a game twice, once against Stanford as a junior and once against San Diego State as a senior, a performance which earned her Pac-12 Player of the Week honors. Celeste remains the best girls soccer player in Sacred Heart Cathedral history, having been named WCAL Player of the Year as a senior after scoring 18 goals and nine assists that season. She helped raise the bar for the Fightin’ Irish program, which in 2014 became the first in school history to qualify for the CCS playoffs and then stormed all the way through to the Finals.

NAVIGATING SUCCESS: COACH MARGI BEIMA

by Scott Bergen

In the summer of 2014, Sacred Heart Cathedral’s itinerant head girls varsity volleyball coach, Margi Beima, returned home from a family vacation sailing around the world. Back on dry land in the fall, she once again took the helm of the Fightin’ Irish program and skippered it into uncharted waters, dominating Southern California Division III champion Saddleback Valley Christian in straight sets to win the school’s first State volleyball title. Competing in a league that routinely churns out All-Americans and State champions, Beima has quietly built one of the most consistently excellent programs in California high school sports over the last decade. There is simply no questioning her greatness on the sideline. But her coaching acumen isn’t the only blessing she brings to the SHC community — her characteristic goodness touches all. As longtime assistant coach James Jacobus puts it, “While she is a master teacher of volleyball, she is equally committed to supporting her players' academic growth and nurturing them to be fully contributing members of any community they are a part of. Margi believes that if she successfully guides the student-athletes in her care to love one another, to treat their teammates with respect, to practice selflessness and humility, and to put their full attention and effort into whatever they are tasked with, only

18

then will her teams be able to reach their full potential on the court.” In 2013, Beima developed the Serve It Up Founders Tournament based on an idea attributed to Director of Major Gifts & Planned Giving John Vigo ’81. The goal is that other schools across the country will adopt the tournament model in which teams join together for a day of service, overlapping with one another at various sites throughout the city, coming together to share their stories and reflect on their efforts as a single community at the end of the day. The following morning, the teams begin a round-robin tournament, but after the fellowship and community formed the day before, the tournament is far from normal and ends with a celebratory banquet. SHC Athletic Director Jo Ann Momono gushes about Beima, who

she coached in her youth. “Margi is an incredible role model for her student-athletes. Her players are successful on the court because of how she teaches them to be off of it: that they can be strong and successful in all aspects of their lives by being hardworking, generous, kind, modest, responsible and having integrity.” Without having to stomp around on the sideline and yell at her players for their mistakes, Beima is a “firm coach with high expectations,” as Momono puts it. “Margi has the uncanny ability to find what motivates each of her players and is able to relate to each of them.” It should come as no surprise, then, that the highest honor a Sacred Heart Cathedral girls volleyball player can win is not being named captain, nor MVP, nor earning All-WCAL or All-CCS honors, but

S P O R T I N G G R EEN

rather, it is winning the Kelly Gallagher ’95 Memorial Spirit Award, awarded to the player with the most spirit and the best attitude. Being a good teammate is paramount to the team’s success and what success they have achieved. After serving as an assistant coach and lower level coach for four years, Beima took over as head varsity coach for the Irish in 2003. Up to that point, the program had won three pre-West Catholic Athletic League championships and no CCS titles in history. In her 12 years as head coach, they’ve won a WCAL title, six CCS championships, five Northern California titles and a State Championship. Her teams were 370-120 heading into 2015 and she has won basically every league, local and state coaching award you can win-from WCAL Coach of the Year to the CIF State Model Coach Award. “Unnoticed by most others, she spends many off-court hours mentoring players who need a stable adult in their lives,” Momono added. “She has used her own challenges as a breast cancer survivor to make the girls aware of women’s health issues and she continued to coach throughout her treatments, though not always feeling physically well. Her quiet strength in overcoming personal adversity was a very powerful example to all of the SHC community.” Because of Beima’s characteristic humility, she doesn’t view the program as her program despite the fact that this amazing era of success began the very season

she became the head coach: in her second season they won the NorCal title. In Beima’s estimation, she is not the owner of the ship, but only the captain steering it to shore, and she spreads around the credit for all of her teams’ successes while at the same time stressing larger issues. Jacobus points out that she is quick to remind her players “to be grateful for the opportunities they have as female student-athletes today. She talks about the history of Title IX and the challenges that came with being a female athlete in earlier generations. She considers it part of her obligation as the current steward of the program to make sure they know about the great

female student-athletes who came before them, like Kelly Gallagher ’95. They are part of something much bigger.” The defending State champion Fightin’ Irish played this season with a hefty target on their backs, but this is a Margi Beima team, so you haven’t seen nerves and trepidation. At the time this was written, they’d advanced to the NorCal Finals. There’s no telling where they’ll wind up, but we know for sure that when they get there, you’ll see in them a love for the game, their teammates and, of course, their coach.

FRANK JORDAN ’53: Public Service Spanning 50+ years When former Chief of Police and Mayor of San Francisco Frank Jordan ’53 attended Sacred Heart, there was no gymnasium, but there was a strip of asphalt and a handball court behind the school. The typewriter, carbon paper and adding machines were the technological tools at the time. While at SH, Frank drew inspiration from many of his teachers, including his Spanish teacher Brother Henry, Principal Brother Columban, FSC ’32 and Brother Edmund, FSC. It was Brother Edmund who had the boys subscribe to Time magazine so they would be aware of what was happening in the world, telling them, “I don’t want to see any of you standing on a windswept corner selling newspapers.” After his four years at SH, Frank continued his education at San Francisco State. This was disrupted when he was drafted into the army during the Korean conflict. Fortunately, fate assigned him to Germany rather than Korea. Returning home from Germany, Frank looked to public service and began his career with the police department in 1957. He ultimately earned his degree in government and political science from the University of San Francisco and ascended to Chief of Police of San Francisco. Jordan was appointed Chief of Police in 1985 by then-Mayor Diane Feinstein, currently a United States Senator representing California in Washington DC. As Mayor, Frank influenced change and worked diligently to maintain the vitality of the City. His achievements

include helping to convert the Presidio Army Base into part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, extending the BART system to San Francisco International Airport and negotiating to keep our beloved San Francisco Giants in town. Another of his noteworthy activities was when he served as special advisor to the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Founded by Intel executive Gordon Moore, the foundation’s funding concentrated on environmental conservation and the sciences. Jordan had the opportunity to evaluate the impact of potential grants on the San Francisco Bay Area and monitor outcomes. Frank credits Sacred Heart and the education he received from the Christian Brothers for instilling the integrity and values that have stayed with him to this day. He is also proud that his son Jim is a longtime faculty member at SHC in the English Department and leads the school’s accreditation process. As it turns out, Frank was never at risk of selling newspapers on the street corner: instead, he was the one making headlines.

Patrick ‘Bud’ Carlin ’50 passed away this past July at the age of 83. A true “Brother’s boy”, Bud loved his classmates and cherished his days as a student at Sacred Heart. Bud was a devoted alumnus, and regardless of the event, project, or activity, he always answered the call. This service was recognized by the school as Bud received the coveted Cor Jesu Award, (now the Lasallian-Vincentian award) the school’s highest honor for community service. A proud and loving father of seven, three of Bud’s sons, Jeffrey ’87, Patrick ’85 and James ’75, also graduated from Sacred Heart. Bud was a native San Franciscan and attended St. Cecilia's Grammar School. After he graduated from Sacred Heart he served his country in the Korean War . Bud was active in the St. Cecilia's Men's Club and Sacred Heart High School Alumni and Parents Associations. He was a 48-year member of Operating Engineers Local 3 and was active in their retiree's group. Bud had a lifelong love of the Russian River and swam every chance he got. He loved his Irish roots, the San Francisco 49ers and all the boys from Fahey's who went to games together at Candlestick. Above all else he loved his family.

SHC IN NYC Alumni from all over the East Coast traveled to New York City on June 5 for SHC’s first ever Satellite Social at the Harmonie Club in Manhattan. Alumni from Sacred Heart, Cathedral, and Sacred Heart Cathedral were delighted to hear from Director of Major Gifts & Planned Giving John Vigo ’81 about the exciting updates at SHC, most notably the new science facilities. De Paul Scholar Director Dr. Ken Hogarty ’66 and Vice President for Advancement Theresa Flynn Houghton ’96 shared videos from the Lip Dub and snapshots of the Blue & Green Bash with alumni among other new activities taking place at their alma mater.

To top of an incredible week, Alumni Relations Manager Patrick Kealy ’07 organized a trip to Citi Field to see the San Francisco Giants take on the NY Mets on June 9. Alumni were treated to a no-hitter as San Francisco Giant rookie pitcher Chris Heston pitched a gem against the Mets. A big thank you to Andrew Martin for helping support the NYC reunion and for facilitating the Harmonie Club for our guests to enjoy.

2020VISION Fearless, We Pursue The Future Over the past year, SHC has received more than $1.4 million from the estates of four alumni and friends. The Heritage Society honors those individuals who have taken action to provide future support for SHC students through wills, trusts, life income gifts, IRAs, retirement plans, life insurance designations and other vehicles. These gifts have been crucial in the ongoing growth of our academic and cocurricular programs, our physical campus and endowed scholarships. Simply put, a planned gift is an act of faith in our future. Adding a bequest to SHC in your will builds our longterm financial strength and is the easiest major gift you can make. Why? It’s Revocable: A bequest doesn’t take effect during your lifetime and won’t affect your current asset balance or cash flow. It’s Simple: One short paragraph in your will can set up your gift. It’s Flexible: You can give a specific asset or a share in the net residue of your estate. Your bequest can support a specific program or allow us to use it for the needs that are most relevant when your gift is received. For more information, contact Director of Major Gifts & Planned Giving John Vigo ’81 at 415.775.6626 ext. 763 or jvigo@shcp.edu.
