DEAR PREP ALUMNI, PARENTS, COLLEAGUES, AND FRIENDS,

I

am honored to serve as Chair of the St. Joseph’s Prep Board of Trustees. In my role, I have the privilege of working with 19 dedicated and passionate fellow Trustees— women and men who care deeply about the Prep and bring their own experiences

and expertise to assist our school.

While I had many connections to the Prep while working in the Philadelphia business community, my first Prep “citizenship” experience was as a mom in 2006, when my son Christopher entered as a freshman. From the beginning, I knew this was a special place where young men like my son were instilled with the knowledge that they are working for a greater good—to go into the world and make a difference.

I knew that I wanted to support that mission in any way I could. When the opportunity arose to expand my citizenship role and contribute my business expertise as a Trustee, I enthusiastically said yes! In the seven years I have been a Trustee, I have seen the school remain steady in its mission. In my experience, success only happens if the right people are in place. I am confident the Prep has those people in place today to bring the Prep of tomorrow to life.

I am grateful to Fr. Swope and the women and men who work at the Prep to instill a Jesuit education into our young men. The work they do each day plants seeds that will bloom, sometimes while that student is here at the Prep, but often not until later, in college or beyond. But that seed, that spark, will help change the world.

As citizens of the Prep, we all have our obligation to the school we love. Whether through a financial contribution, by volunteering our time, or by being an ambassador for the school to other alumni and prospective students and families, we owe it to our school to support it in any way we can.

I have full confidence in that support from you, our loyal friends and family, and again, remain ever grateful for all the wonderful contributions that bring our programs—and our fine young men—to life.

Sincerely,

M. Shawn Bort P ’10 Chair, Board of Trustees

DEAR PREP COMMUNITY,

O

ur mission at 17th & Girard is evident in the faces of our students and faculty every day! It is alive for students like Ken Shegogue ’19 featured on our cover.

When I first saw this picture I immediately thought, this is such a terrific

reflection of what happens in Prep classrooms every day! Students fully engaged with their teachers, thinking and learning and focused on achievement. That’s the student who comes to learn at St. Joseph’s Prep.

Over the past few years I’ve asked our faculty to dream about the future of the Prep.

They’ve shared their vision for how they want to teach in their classrooms and the impact it will have on our students. Their ideas are innovative and exciting and have formed the vision for the future which led us to the priorities of the For Others Forever Campaign. This vision will result in a transformation of our main building and have a profound impact on the educational experience of our students. I could not be more excited about the future of the Prep!

Of course, none of this happens without the great generosity of our alumni, parents, and friends, and I am grateful to all for your incredible support of the school we love so dearly. This President’s Report recognizes the generosity of our donors and its impact on the young men at St. Joseph’s Prep.

You will read their stories through the lens of our Strategic Plan, Many Parts One Prep.

As Citizens of the Prep committed to our success, you have invested in ensuring that we reach our strategic goals. I hope you enjoy reading about our progress and about our students who are benefitting from it every day.

As we look toward the future, our alumni, parents, and friends will be our most valuable partners to achieve our ambitious goals. Thank you for the difference you make at St. Joseph’s Prep and for Catholic, Jesuit education in Philadelphia.

I wish God’s blessings for you and your families. Please pray for all of us at the Prep as we continue the important work of preparing our young men to be Men for Others.

Sincerely,

Rev. John W. Swope, SJ ’72 President

U

nder the first strategic goal “To live our Catholic and Jesuit mission,” one primary task arose: to formally create

an Ignatian Formation Program for all members of the Prep community—colleagues, students, parents, alumni, and trustees alike. To that end, last year the school formed an Ignatian Engagement Committee (IEC), charged with developing recommendations for an integrated, comprehensive, and cross-institutional program in Ignatian formation.

The committee went to work.

After researching more than 35 Jesuit high schools across the country, and sensitively taking into account our unique context and community at the Prep, the IEC developed a new manual for Ignatian Formation Programming for

“

The mission of St. Joseph’s Prep is to educate young men and prepare them as leaders for what lies ahead for them whether they choose a military career, the religious life, a career in health care, government service, or the commercial sector. Their choices are grounded in the principles and values that are taught at the Prep, significantly influenced by the ministry of faith that

surrounds them in every moment that they are there.

As a student at the Prep during the fire of 1966, we were emboldened by the fact that we had a mission to complete and we were always surrounded by the graces of God. Prep graduates go on to accomplish great things, all of which are driven by their grounding in Mission and Ministry.”

CHRIS GUTT ’20 Sometimes, all it takes is a little spark to start a burning fire.

For Chris Gutt ’20, that little spark came after just one hour.

“I wanted to fulfill my service hours so I went to tutor during Community Hour,” Chris recounts. “I ended up falling in love with it and went there almost every day.”

That one day doing service turned into full immersion in the Mission and Ministry world at St. Joseph’s Prep. Chris joined the Mission and Ministry Board for his junior year and

Enhancing Academic Excellence

T

he Prep will sustain a curriculum that reflects both its roots in the liberal arts

and its aspiration to be at the vanguard of student-centered curriculum and instruction.

In order to be highly creative in the design of the overall student academic experience, ongoing curriculum innovation and modernization of teacher classroom instruction—including a new major redesign of student learning spaces—will become part of its culture.

H IG H LIG H T S TO DAT E

Enhancing Academic Excellence • Created Summer Service Learning courses for academic credit • Instituted monthly grade-level meetings for faculty and staff to review student progress • Developed academic support program by which qualified students can receive help through

a four-month national search. In his

announcement to the school community, Rev. John W. Swope, SJ ’72, President, expressed his excitement at Cavacos being the school’s next Principal, saying it was clear when he and the committee met Andy that the veteran educator was, “not only well-versed in educational theory, and more than familiar with Jesuit education, but also that the ideals that we value at the Prep are a vital part of his identity. We were incredibly fortunate to find someone like Andy to assume the academic leadership of our school.”

The Cavacos selection was the first of a series of hires to bolster the academic administrative team to provide more effective support for our students while also facilitating the accomplishment of many Strategic Plan goals. A more robust team now includes two new assistant principals, Daniel Ranalli ’00 (Academics) and Joshua Rorer (Student Life), and a new Director of Academic Data Analytics, Colleen McManus.

“Instructional spaces should have physical flexibility to promote collaborative work for learning teams and these new spaces will be tooled to maximize access to information and give our students the opportunity to present beautiful work,” he says. “A particularly notable initiative is an Innovation Center where students can create in ways not afforded by the traditional classroom. I’m looking forward to using these new spaces to enhance our curriculum in ways that we may not have been able to before.”

He states that a thorough curriculum review, like the one he recently led at McQuaid Jesuit High School, examines how all of the instructional teaching and learning occurs as a whole. “There exists a temptation to view ‘curriculum’ superficially—as a collection of discrete courses, with discrete syllabi and discrete textbooks guiding study and assignments,” Cavacos explains. “A deeper view of curriculum is necessarily more thoughtful

show academic ability, a desire to serve others, and who would not otherwise be able to attend the Prep without the aid scholarship. Sahmir certainly met that criteria.

In the classroom, Sahmir is an Honors Student, excelling especially in history and English. He fondly recalls Mr. Whelan’s sophomore English class where discussions focused on books and on life itself. He also enjoyed Mrs. Ambrose’s US History class, where there’s an abundance of student input and conversations take history into current events.

Sahmir feels blessed to be a Howley Scholar and wants to make sure he fulfills the promise that others saw in him.

“The Howley Scholarship made it possible for me to attend the Prep, so I want to do my best in school and in everything I do to repay their trust in me,” says Sahmir, who also credits his mother Miesha for, “being heavy into education and staying on top of me.” He adds, “I know that I am blessed to be at the Prep and it is a privilege not everyone has. I’ve had the opportunity to learn that not everyone has the good fortune that we do. It was also important to learn how much work goes on behind the scenes to help support charitable groups as well as students like me.”
