President’s Leadership Club Gifts

DEAR PREP ALUMNI, PARENTS, COLLEAGUES, AND FRIENDS,

T

his past June, I completed my term as Chair of the St. Joseph’s Prep Board of Trustees. It was a privilege to serve my alma mater in this way and will always be considered one of the greatest honors of my professional career.

In my time as a Trustee, several substantial changes took place at the school.

Most notably, the hiring of Rev. John W. Swope, SJ ’72 as our President in 2015 was significant. Working closely with Fr. Swope in his first few years at the helm

solidified my opinion that we chose the right person at the right time to lead our beloved institution into the future.

Our new strategic plan, Many Parts, One Prep, stands as yet another way we ensure a bright future for the Prep. In my 43-year career, I have worked on several strategic plans. In my opinion this one ranks at the top. The process by which we engaged our community impressed me; colleagues, alumni, parents, students, trustees, and friends took part in the plan’s formulation and greatly influenced the final product.

Board leadership is now in the extremely capable hands of Ms. M. Shawn Bort. A highly accomplished professional, as well as an alumni mother who loves the Prep, Shawn will lead the Trustees in providing the governance needed to ensure effective plan implementation.

This President’s Report highlights key parts of the strategic plan. I think you will be impressed by the plan’s initiatives and the progress already made under Fr. Swope’s leadership in delivering our unique brand of Jesuit education to the fine young men drawn to our school.

In gratitude,

James J. Mergiotti ’71 St. Joseph’s Prep Board of Trustees Chair 2016-18

PRESIDENT’S REPORT | 3

DEAR PREP COMMUNITY,

I

n the Prep video we show to prospective families, I lovingly talk about 17th & Girard and how important this place was to my parents when they chose to send me here from Drexel Hill in 1968. Today, after three full years as President

of St. Joseph’s Prep, my dedication remains strong and continues to grow, and its importance stands paramount in my life. I am continually amazed by the young men

who walk these halls, surpassed only by my awe at the dedicated, knowledgeable women and men who guide these young men every day.

As President, I am fortunate to spend time with many of our alumni, who continually mention their gratitude for the education they received at the Prep. They, like our colleagues, want to ensure that our legacy continues and that our school remains a beacon of Jesuit education, with a keen eye on the mission of developing young men who will make significant and inspiring differences in our world.

Last year, we launched a strategic plan, Many Parts, One Prep. We have embarked on this journey together, as “Citizens of Prep Nation,” to better secure our school and enable its mission to carry on for generations to come. I am pleased to say this vision is underway each day at the Prep.

As you read this report, you’ll see examples of our Ignatian identity in action throughout our community and the world. The Trustees and the leadership are thrilled to bring our strategic plan to life, and I am honored to share with you just a glimpse of our inspirational goals in action as we move forward collectively through each of our strategic areas of focus, highlighted here in this report.

Already, so much good is happening for our wonderful young men here at the Prep... just think what’s to come in the years ahead!

As God has inspired the Prep community to imagine Future Prep, I am confident that God’s grace will provide all of us the strength and commitment to make this vision for the Prep a reality for the Greater Glory of God. With gratitude to the Prep community,

Rev. John W. Swope, SJ ’72 President

PRESIDENT’S REPORT | 5

“ The root of education is ‘to lead out.’ The experience that our students have in the community will enable this process and put the knowledge of justice and charity into practice.”

— JOHN FACENDA ’57, P’86, ’87, ’93

Mr. Facenda and his wife Emma have created the Facenda Family Community Service Endowed Fund in support of the Mission and Ministry efforts at the school.

Living our Catholic and Jesuit Mission

A

ll that is St. Joseph’s Prep finds its roots in the Catholic faith, our Jesuit charism, and a pervasive Ignatian identity we share throughout our urban Philadelphia community. This defines who we are and why we are, and follows a torch lit by St. Ignatius fueled by the experiential nature of creating and receiving “encounters” with God. It is through

this lens of “experiential spiritual fire” that we strive to create for our students an environment focused on fostering, engaging, and living our Catholic, Jesuit identity so that succeeding generations not only comprehend our mission, but embrace it.

By creating a stronger culture of engagement, reimagining the spirituality programs for our students, and establishing opportunities for all in our community to foster personal growth in Ignatian pedagogy, we infuse the Prep experience with vision and vitality—a sense of “more,” the Jesuit magis—and the energy worthy of the hundreds of young men in our care each day.

The fruits of this labor surround us daily: service experiences, food drives, volunteer days, tutoring programs, civic engagements, museum trips, Kairos, class retreats, even simply in conversation between two friends at lunch—all of these are moments of God’s grace and our Prep mission in action. It is through these building blocks, and the sharing of our God-given gifts, that our school will continue to thrive and our students become inspired to “go forth and set the world on fire!”

“ St. Joseph’s Prep teaches us that we have an obligation when we wear the identity of ‘Catholic.’ This title does not simply extend to a one-hour service on a Sunday morning or a financial donation to the Archdiocese, but rather, it is a continuous challenge to live our lives according to Jesus’ message.”

“ My wife Jennifer and I are drawn to give to the Prep because of its academic excellence and the base that it provides students in preparing them for college and beyond. For me, the Prep drove me to be the best I could be in everything I did, and to create my own opportunities. I want to give a new generation that same benefit.”

— SEAN MURRAY ’90

Last year, in memory of Sean’s grandfather, Sean and Jennifer Murray initiated the James J. Murray ’25 Scholarship.

Enhancing Academic Excellence

A

cademic excellence remains our backbone at St. Joseph’s Prep. It is the means by which we form young minds, inspire dreams, and humbly influence the world into which our graduates enter. It is our reputation and our obligation, and we take this responsibility seriously, invoking the talent of top faculty in their fields to ensure the St. Joseph’s Prep legacy of academic excellence not only survives, but thrives.

Keenly aware of and grounded in our Jesuit, liberal arts roots, we keep an ever vigilant eye toward innovation, both in curriculum and instruction, in order to most aptly serve the changing needs of students coming our way. We do this with excitement and candor, for to embark on meeting young men where they are means being open to change and improvement, not in abandonment of traditional methods, but in addition to them, incorporating new and creative, inventive ways.

It is time to take stock of our classroom environments at the Prep—

to review our curriculum and how we go about teaching it, to evaluate our space and what it’s designed to do, and to discern a powerful way forward that benefits all our students and the world they will engage upon Commencement. Things like collaborative grade-level reviews, new instructional methods, and new service learning courses designed to combine academic learning with service and real-life community experiences—all these and more rest on the horizon, and the Prep stands poised to accept the challenge of integrating new ideas into its traditional model, to continue instilling knowledge, critical thinking skills, and a visceral love of learning in all our students.

help others in the community. One

unique way to accomplish this is through service learning courses that combine high-level academic work with tailored service experiences and other immersive opportunities. This summer, the Prep offered its first Summer Service Learning Course: Seminar in Urban Studies. Sixteen Prep students, under the direction of History Teacher Bethany Weed, examined food insecurity, which is a fact of life for thousands of men, women, and children

“The primary objective was to merge academics and service,” says Ms. Weed.

“I think it is easy for students to engage in service in order to complete their service hours without developing an intellectual understanding of various issues at play. Similarly, students can focus on doing well in their coursework without necessarily seeing real-life connections to their surroundings. This class was designed to combine both.”

Strengthening an Environment of Involvement, Respect, and Connection

T

he Prep will become an institution focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion…” So reads the new St. Joseph’s Prep Strategic Plan—but have we not always been keenly aware of diversity in our community and adept at educating young men appreciative of the differences among us? Certainly. But amidst the ever changing world from which our students come to us, a renewed focus on cultural, socioeconomic, racial, and geographic diversity is not only demanded of us at the Prep, it is our responsibility as Jesuit educators to maintain that focus as the highest priority—and we are driven to do so.

The world-class education offered to boys at St. Joseph’s Prep extends far beyond the classroom into the realm of social responsibility and global citizenship, and our school will continually rise to that occasion and provide leadership, programming, and financial support aimed toward that goal. Already, exciting work is being done: needs assessments, crosssectional diversity committees, educational programming, and new support systems are underway—all in an effort to increase awareness and engage faculty, staff, students, and others in our community in conversation about diversity, inclusion, bias, and cultural awareness.

Utilizing the new Community Hour, Porter and Rupertus began meeting with the group twice per week; they organized a trip to Washington, DC, to visit the Museum of African American History; and, most importantly, they started a mentorship program with the Gesu School whereby BLCC members offered support to the fifth grade boys next door.

At the end of the year, BLCC also hosted its annual Bakari Awards when students of color are honored for various accomplishments and academic achievements. This year, BLCC members served in various roles such as co-hosting the event and nominating a student from each class for the Rising Star Award.

Many alumni of color were on hand for the event, along with the students’ families and Prep faculty, staff, and administrators to celebrate. That night, students also received their Kentai Cloths, which are worn with dignity and honor at

“ When I first entered the Prep I was a little bit nervous, coming from a grade school that was a majority Hispanic/Latino and now in the minority. In the first few days, in talking to kids at BLCC, it didn’t matter what our differences were, we found similarity sharing our experiences as students of color, how our daily lives at the Prep were going, and also issues inside the Prep and outside. That was extraordinary. It showed the characteristics of the Jesuits and the Prep.”

“ Having a coach who is at the Prep full-time was invaluable for me. Having someone here who I could talk to any time about my college decision was extremely helpful. His door was always open, and he was available at any time. When you are talking to college coaches, it can be hard to know what they mean. He knows all of the coaches and was able to help me understand what was happening. To have a mentor who went to the Prep and was a recruited athlete was helpful to me and, I am sure, to other seniors as well.”

Sustaining the Prep Mission through Enhanced Revenue Strategies

T

he Prep holds its legacy dear, and more so, remains adamant that its mission continues for generations of students to come. To that end, we strive to create a culture of philanthropy worthy of the Prep tradition and unwavering mission—one that not only helps provide financial support for students in need in the here and now, but also works to secure an endowment robust and reliable enough to safeguard the future of our school.

This past year, we created meaningful engagement opportunities for alumni and parents to connect with leadership at the Prep and to share a vision of the future. We’ve also seen many in our community rise to the

call as “Citizens of Prep Nation” to become leadership donors to the Prep, serving as an inspiration and generosity model for others looking to join in the culture of giving arising at the Prep.

Leadership councils, enhanced stewardship, and a campaign readiness survey with subsequent strategic campaign planning were all hallmarks of a year infused with hard work and hope, graced with generosity overflowing from so many who love the Prep. From recalibrated staff and strategies, to new, endowed coaching positions, to the sheer excitement of imagining the classroom of the future for the success of our students, philanthropy has never looked brighter at the Prep.

“ For a school like St. Joseph’s Prep, with its goals and dreams of incredible proportions, securing a strong endowment is imperative to ensuring our future. The mission of the Prep is too important to our community, to our city, and in the lives of each of our students, to have it jeopardized in any way. A robust endowment provides security and the confidence for us to move forward boldly with our vision for ‘Future Prep.’”
