SPOTLIGHT ON St. Mary’s Student Academics JENNIFER OGASIAN ’17 St. Mary’s was always an obvious choice for Lynn native Jennifer Ogasian ’17; both her mother Diane O’GradyOgasian ’75 and aunt Judi O’GradyCiencewicki ’67 attended. However, legacy was not the only factor that influenced her decision to attend. While spending a day at St. Mary’s shadowing a student, Jennifer felt at home among some familiar faces and was attracted to the “very friendly and open” atmosphere. Now, four years later, Jennifer is an accomplished honors student at the top of her class who is ready to take on her next endeavor in life: college. Jennifer is a member of the first group of students inducted into the St. Mary’s Scholars Program. She is a part of the National Honor Society as well. Both programs have helped Jennifer not only focus on academics, but to also look beyond them and realize that she not only has to be “the smart student,” but the “well rounded” student, too. For extracurriculars, Jennifer is CoPresident of the Theatre Company, and a member of the choir.
KELSEY SULLIVAN ’20 Freshman and Melrose native Kelsey Sullivan chose St. Mary’s not only for the welcoming and friendly ambiance, but also primarily for the strong academics. After spending a day as a Spartan, sitting in on classes and getting to meet the teachers and students, Kelsey knew that only St. Mary’s would provide for her the
academic edge she needs to be successful later on in life. Although Kelsey’s career at St. Mary’s has just begun, she is already thriving; Sullivan is in all honors classes, a member of the St. Mary’s Scholars Program, and a part of the girls soccer team, making for a challenging yet exciting first year.
Onias is also a member of the Scholars Program at St. Mary’s, an opportunity that has provided him valuable friendships and connections he may not have made otherwise. He sees the title as a "scholar" a huge honor, and one that he wants to live up to every day in and out of school.
Although Kelsey has a busy schedule with all honors classes,athletics and other extracurriculars, her academics are always a priority for her. “School always comes first, even if it means missing sports,” she said.
DECLAN DORGAN ’21
While Kelsey is only a freshman, she is already setting goals for herself; ones that are sure to be met come her senior year, such as being in the top five of her class.
ONIAS MIRBEL ’18 Upon visiting a St. Mary’s open house and shadowing for a day, Lynn’s Onias Mirbel ’18, knew that SMH was the perfect fit for him. He felt at home among the friendly and outgoing students, and quickly became excited to take honors classes with welcoming and knowledgeable teachers. Now a junior, Onias is continuing to succeed academically, as well as on the field for the St. Mary’s football team. Onias takes all honors classes, and hopes to do well in these classes to not only boost his GPA, but to gain some crucial college credits that could free up his schedule after high school, allowing him to focus more on what he wants to study: engineering.
Marian Division eighth grader and Lynn native Declan Dorgan’s decision to come to St. Mary’s was primarily based on the legacy his family has at the school. His grandmother Marion ’49, is an alumni and Hall of Fame member, his younger brother Nolan attends Marian’s 7th grade and his mother Kimberly recently joined the advancement team. In addition to his family roots, he fell in love with the school by choice. Declan plans to move on to the high school next year, and is excited to take on even greater academic endeavors. Declan is the treasurer of the National Junior Honor Society and hopes that occupying this position will not only help him to work in finance later on in life, but will establish him as a leader of his class in high school. Declan’s favorite and best subject is math. When he gets to high school, Declan hopes to take all honors courses, and is excited for the unique and challenging opportunities St. Mary’s will provide for him academically. In addition to his studies, Declan is also an avid baseball player, and a member of the St. Mary’s Freshman Baseball team. – Profiles by Lily Doolin ’17

FALL/WINTER 2016
HERE AT THE START HEAD OF SCHOOL GRACE COTTER REGAN Dear Alumni, Parents and Friends, Welcome to the academic issue of the St. Mary’s magazine. We are thrilled to share this issue showcasing our commitment to excellence in education. St. Mary’s celebrates its 135th anniversary this year and we are reminded of the legacy stories of success on this city block in Lynn. We remain committed to mission and live our mission through our pillars for success: Catholic, Excellence, Respect and Integrity. This year, the school community is focusing on the pillar of excellence. This will require every area of our school to ask the question, “How do we define excellence and how do we meet it?” After receiving our ten-year NEASC accreditation last spring, we embarked on a strategic academic improvement plan. After a robust and comprehensive study of school data and programs, we have introduced an interactive academic dashboard to make sure we are true to our educational and student outcomes. We remain student-centric, but data driven, to ensure that all of our students meet their academic and formation goals and achieve their preferred option for college and vocational path When I reflect on the pillar of excellence, I immediately think about rigor and results. I also think about my own education and the books, novels, classics and teachers who inspired my formation, love of learning and educational pedagogy. I had the blessing of a rigorous humanities based Catholic, college preparatory education at Notre Dame Academy in Hingham and a liberal arts Jesuit Catholic university education at Boston College. The Sisters of Notre Dame and the Jesuits introduced students to great writers, philosophers and dreamers. I remember struggling mightily sophomore year in high school through Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, devouring Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, voraciously reading anything by the Bronte sisters and Charles Dickens. I chose courses at BC featuring the writings of St. Augustine, Paulo Freire, Henri Nouwen, and Thomas Aquinas. I also took advantage of the many English literature and poetry courses featuring authors like James Joyce, William Butler Yeats, and Simone de Beauvoir. Academic results and rigor are important, but it is essential for St. Mary’s to inspire in this next generation of learners and leaders, a love of the Classics and the written word to compliment the innovative and technological skillset of the 21st century learner. Thank you for your generosity and fidelity to St. Mary’s. Take a moment to send us your favorite Classics and educational memories for Alumni Notes! God is good!

FALL/WINTER 2016
Peabody native Jolssen Rodriguez ’17 did not even have to step foot into St. Mary’s to know that it was the right school for him. His own research, coupled with what he had heard about the school from his peers, was enough to give Rodriguez a strong feeling that St. Mary’s would become his new home after middle school; his instincts were right. Just after the first few weeks of freshman year, Jolssen could not help but feel excited that he would be spending his next four years at SMH. Jolssen began taking a combination of accelerated and honors courses his Freshman year, as well being the goaltender of the St. Mary’s boys soccer team. As time went by, his schedule got busier, and juggling both his academics and sports became overwhelming. “I was trying to get involved in as much as I could, but I realized I couldn’t balance everything,” said Jolssen. By the time sophomore year came, Jolssen realized that he needed to work on his time management, especially as he began to take more honors-level courses. “Time management is very serious,” said Jolssen. “I had to learn how to be organized and make sure to schedule time for school.” Jolssen did so promptly. He started dedicating more time to his schoolwork, planning extracurriculars and work around his studying time. Not only did Jolssen’s grades rise; he found he had more time to do some of the things he loved, such as community service, playing for the tennis team and hanging out with friends. Jolssen became a full-time honors student his junior year and is now once more an all honors and AP student his senior year. Rodriguez is a creative person by nature, and, over the years, has fallen in love with the artistry of literature and the English language; Rodriguez partially credits his fondness for the subject to Dr. Marshall, his English teacher. “I couldn’t be more grateful for her to be my English teacher,” Rodriguez said. “She opened my eyes to new ways of looking at literature and made me love English class even more.” Looking ahead to the future, Jolssen knows he wants to major in something relating to the arts and design, as he loves English, writing, and drawing. “I want to major in something I’m very passionate about,” said Jolssen. Jolssen is involved with a college prep program in Lynn, “LaVida Scholars,” a program providing skills and advice as well as exposure to the colleges where he intends to apply, like Skidmore, Princeton, Dartmouth, Hamilton, and Bowdoin. Regardless of what school Jolssen attends after St. Mary’s, he is thankful for this experience. “If you go to St. Mary’s, you will come out not only with a family of your own, but a strong education of your own.” By Lily Doolin ’17

Sarah Dyer ’06, History teacher, is a Spartan through and through. She entered The Marian Division in her 7th grade year in 2000 and graduated in the top ten of her class in 2006. She says, “I loved St. Mary’s as a student. I felt like I belonged and that my teachers really cared about me; it always felt like home to me.” She was very involved in the school community participating in dance, hockey cheerleading and the Student Admissions Team. And she has always loved going to sports games—all sports. Dyer’s St. Mary’s experience was formative. Since the fourth grade, Dyer knew she wanted to be a teacher, and at St. Mary’s she realized that she really wanted to teach high school. Her academic interests were History and English, “I really loved both, even in college.” Ultimately, she decided to major in History and minor in Secondary Education, and graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2010 from Salem State. Then, she came home to St. Mary’s. For two years she taught both History and English, and she says, she is “grateful for the experience, but happy to be a full time History teacher…History is the one thing I never get sick of: whenever I was studying or reading about history it never felt like work the way other things did.” She has a true passion for Modern US and Modern European History, both of which she teaches now, and says, “I love to travel, and have had a lot of great opportunities that have allowed me to travel to the places I teach about. That has helps my love to grow.” She says that she “took a little something” from all her teachers when defining the teacher she wanted to be. In reflecting on her return to St. Mary’s, she says, “I see it as a continuation because my literal teachers continue to teach me, but now in my craft instead of their content areas.” Her whole philosophy, she explains “is to create the same great experience for the students now that I had.” That may be why it’s not surprising to run into Dyer at a sporting event, academic competition or artistic performance. Dyer sees it as part of her mission to truly support the students of St. Mary’s in all they do. “I think part of why I love St. Mary’s is that I always felt supported…it’s important to me to make it to the things that are important to them.” Dyer has since earned a Masters in History from Salem State, completing the program in May of 2016. She was a recipient of The Edna McGlynn Scholarship for her graduate studies. “Now that the graduate program is complete, I come at my job with a lot of new perspective and knowledge based on the work that I’ve done. It has also led me to be able to focus on other things, like being the faculty advisor to The Scholar’s Program. I am happy to be able to give other aspects of my job more undivided attention.” Over the summer, Dyer was thrilled to spend three days, some with the scholars and some with the new guidance initiative, visiting some great New England schools and going on college tours with her students. “No matter the changes to St. Mary’s, the students have always been great. The students have always done great things with their educations and their lives, and I’m happy to be a part of that.” By Karalyn McGovern ’90

St. Mary’s Athletic Director, Jeff Newhall says, “This is a great recognition for Coach Durgin and the entire football program.” He continues, “Anytime a professional sports organization identifies one of your coaches and one of your programs for outstanding work it certainly is gratifying. This is a great award for a coach who has been one of the state’s best for close to 20 years and we are extremely lucky to have him as our head football coach.”

When asked about their pregame rituals, the students answered, "We pray and then we play." St. Mary’s is blessed to have him as Head Football Coach.”

ACADEMIC DASHBOARD DRIVES EXCELLENCE
St. Mary’s is striving to improve academics, but isn’t every school? Certainly, but St. Mary’s is setting itself apart with an unprecedented level of resources and innovation as it raises the bar for students, faculty and staff.
I
n response to a self-study and recommendations that came out of the re-accreditation process conducted by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), St. Mary’s has partnered with the Public Consulting Group to create an academic dashboard that will allow it to assess academic quality and accountability. “We wanted to create a baseline we could work off for all school improvement,” said Head of School Grace Cotter Regan. PCG examined an extensive amount of data on both current and incoming students, looking at not only academic indicators such as standardized test results and GPA, but also factors such as socioeconomic background and financial aid awarded. “We studied every level of data on the testing side and looked at trends. We used the data points to create an academic profile for all students,” Regan said. The dashboard follows the course of the student experience, from the high school placement test, through academic performance and standardized testing, and capped by college acceptances. “We want students to have the classroom experience they are looking for and provide them with the academic program that will ultimately lead to their getting their preferred option for college,” Regan said. Based on the key findings in the academic dashboard, five priorities were created to drive academic excellence: academic expectations and rigor; data quality and use; curriculum alignment; advanced coursework; and college planning. For each priority area, a set of five-year targets have been established and the school has formed committees to work on them. While the ultimate beneficiaries of all of this information will be students, St. Mary’s teachers are excited about adding to their instructional arsenal. “We’ve gleaned a tremendous amount of data and we’re in the process of determining how we want to use that data to inform how we’re teaching,” said Michael Jalbert, chair of the history department.

“It’s the first time we’ve been able to consolidate all the data for all students,” said Fran White, co-chair of the math department. “Our motivation is to get students to the next level.” The academic dashboard is the centerpiece of a comprehensive effort to enhance the student experience at St. Mary’s. With the addition of AP Calculus this year, the school offers nine AP courses, the most ever. All students sign an academic integrity pledge that was devised by a committee of teachers and students. White, who is in her 42nd year teaching at the school, said it is a matter of ensuring the school has the academic rigor to match the quality of the students it attracts. “We’ve always had a high quality of student,” White said. “We now have the offerings they want. We have students who want the rigorous courses and teachers who want to teach them. It’s a really positive environment.”

Regan and teachers said the goal is to improve outcomes for all students, not just the ones who are already performing at a high level. “My concern is always students who might not be achieving,” Regan said, “and that we are doing all we can to help them. We are giving them the supports they need to be successful.” “We know the students in the top 10 percent are getting into great schools,” Jalbert said. “It’s about where are the kids from 10 to 30 percent are going. And from 30 to 50 percent. We’re showing considerable improvement in that regard.” Jalbert thinks the school is proceeding prudently. “As a private school, you realize you are a business on some level,” he said. “We have embraced the idea that there is always room for improvement.” Regan said St. Mary’s is differentiating itself from other schools; putting the needs of the students first. “We understand that families have several options for middle and high school,” Regan said. “We want to make sure we do everything we can to have them look at St. Mary’s as the best option.” By Paul Halloran

ST. MARY’S MARIAN DIVISION STUDENTS:
People go through some of their biggest life lessons and changes during the middle school years. At St. Mary’s, those changes are carefully nurtured and made to prosper. With, smaller, more individualized classes, successful, influential teachers like Mr. Grassa and Mrs. Buckley, educational and social field trips, the Marian division is the place to be for 6th, 7th and 8th grade. Marian Division life begins promptly at 7:20 a.m, when students are allowed in the school. You must be present in homeroom by 7:40, and then it’s go time! Are you throwing dodge balls in gym? Or building rockets in Engineering? At the St. Mary’s Marian Division, students are given a choice of two electives each year. In 6th and 7th grade, you get to pick between art class and gym, and come 8th grade, it’s engineering and gym. These subjects are spread through out the day with the rest of the curriculum, and taken for half the year. Art, Engineering, and Gym are all half point classes that award the student a whole credit at the end of the year, once both courses are completed. Most Massachusetts middle schools have children who are barely twelve carry around big, bulky textbooks all day. At St. Mary’s, we’re a school of the future. Marian Division students are given the privilege of using iPads for their classes. With helpful apps like iBooks, Notability, Word Reference, and Pearson, it’s easy for students to get straight to work. 18

Come 11:10, it’s first lunch. As a Marian division student, you’ll probably make a quick stop at your locker, then go down to the cafeteria for lunch. There’s new specials every day and our kitchen staff always has their signature pizza and fries on display. Food choices range from a crisp, shiny apple to rich, smooth ice cream. Once you’ve made your culinary choice, you’ll pick a table to sit at amongst your peers and eat the lunch of champions, successfully fueling up before your afternoon classes. And with brand new tables and chairs purchased just this year, the experience will be all the more satisfying. Another bonus of being in the St. Mary’s Marian Division is learning to grow and mature with high school students. You’ll roam the halls, join clubs and even eat lunch with freshmen. Because of this, the big transition from middle school to high school wont seem as intimidating, and you’ll flow right from 8th grade to freshman year without a hitch. As a St. Mary’s Marian Division student, you’ll have many opportunities to participate in clubs and extra curricular activities. In 6th grade, the Spring Musical is open to all with a voice! And once you’ve reached 7th, The Theatre Company would be happy to have you. The St. Mary’s Theatre Company is proud to be annual participators in the Massachusetts Educational Theater Guild Drama Festival—a competition in which several different regional high schools get together, and compete. Last year, St. Mary’s Theatre Company made it to the final round. Some other outside school activities are Rachel’s Challenge, pretty much any Sport you can think of, and nearly every club under the sun. If there isn’t a club you fit into, you can feel free to start your own. St. Mary’s has many successful student run organizations. As for Rachel’s Challenge, students get to school by 7 a.m. and have meetings about upcoming community service events. These outings include serving at My Brother’s Table and hosting charity events that gets the whole school involved. At around 2:07 p.m., Mr. Ridley will come on the intercom, and most likely remind you to do your homework, and study hard. Then, just a few minutes later, at 2:10 p.m., the final bell will ring, and you’re free to go to practice, watch Netflix, hang out in the library, or participate in whatever is it you’re a part of. Overall, attending St. Mary’s Marian Division helps you learn to be in a community, get involved in numerous friend groups and learn to support and care for each other.

The William F. Connell ’55 Service Awards are presented at St. Mary’s as recognition of consistent and exemplary service. A committee consisting of St. Mary’s staff and administrators, trustees, and members of the Connell family plan and present the program each year. The Connell Service Awards aim to introduce a higher level of awareness for the value of service to our students. It is our hope that they will learn how it is woven into the mission of St. Mary’s, and into the charism of who we are as a community of faith that supports others.
The 2016 Connell Service Awards were held on in the William J. and Teresa G. Connell Memorial Library. The 2016 Connell Service Awards Recipients were: award recipient, The Flatley Foundation, in Thanksgiving for the Legacy of Thomas Flatley; student award recipients, Kate Cadigan ’17 and Anthony DelVecchio ’17; as well as faculty/staff award recipient, Patricia A. Gill ’71. Tom Flatley was a contemporary of St. Mary’s philanthropist and friend Bill Connell ’55. Described as a builder, donor, patriot and visionary by The Patriot Ledger, Mr. Flatley was altruistic and philanthropic to many Catholic causes and institutions of higher learning. He believed in the mission of Catholic education. St. Mary’s recognized the legacy of Tom Flatley and the continued commitment of the Flatley Foundation to St. Mary’s High School in Lynn at the 2016 Connell Awards ceremony.

UPDATE FROM THE CHAIR
October has always been one of my favorite months and this past October was a particularly stellar one for St. Mary’s. On the 12th the Cushing Society celebration honored Tom and Marill Demakes at the Peabody Essex Museum with the largest crowd ever to attend a Cushing event. We also learned in October that we would be receiving a two million dollar pledge to our Building Futures campaign putting us over the thirteen million dollar mark.

Dear Friends of St. Mary’s, We recently celebrated our 21st annual Cardinal Cushing Society event. The event was by far the best attended in our history. It was a memorable night and a time for us to recall the legacy of St. Mary’s and honor the dedication of those who have made this school successful for 135 years creating an institution with a vital role in the city and throughout the North Shore. Our students are provided a foundation for success when they walk onto campus and through our open doors. They leave us prepared to lead lives of service and meaning. Because we reflect the entire region, our students gain an important jump-start when entering a diverse, competitive and multicultural world. While St. Mary’s understands a strong academic experience is necessary to be successful in the world today, we recognize academic proficiency alone is not sufficient to address deficits in character, compassion, and vision we so often encounter in today’s world. Our students establish values which guide them and will be their bedrock in confronting future challenges. Each of us is called to maintain this school for those who will come in the years ahead. Present day students come to St. Mary’s as their older siblings, parents, and grandparents have come for nearly 7 generations. Each day, they strive to be successful. At St. Mary’s, they also learn what it means to be good. To retain these distinguishing aspects of the St. Mary’s educational experience, we are now launching the public phase of the largest capital campaign in our history, Building Futures. By the time you read this letter, we will have exceeded raising $13 million towards our goal. We need your support to achieve our goal! The final stretch of any campaign is always the most challenging. It is also the most critical where every donation has a profound impact. To serve tomorrow’s students, we ask today for your help to increase our endowment for student scholarships and for resources to improve our facilities. Your investment offers students the opportunity of a lifetime. I extend my deepest gratitude to those that have already generously provided their support. Please join me in this historic campaign to build a brighter future for St. Mary’s and for those it educates. Warm Regards,
William S. Mosakowski, Board Chair
CUSHING SOCIETY
LYNN COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE TOM AND MARILL DEMAKES! A n incredible night for St. Mary’s as nearly 400 alumni, parents and community members gathered together in October for the 21st Cushing Society Celebration, to honor Tom and Marill Demakes for their support of Catholic education. St. Mary’s Head of School Grace Cotter Regan began the evening with “Tonight we take a moment to reflect and revenrence the 135th anniversary of St. Mary’s. While we celebrate this storied history on this city block, we embark on exciting plans for the future with our Building Futures Campaign.” St. Mary’s Board Chair William Mosakowski expanded, “We are moving towards achieving our goal…and beyond to meet the needs of additional students, to improve our programs, and to develop a Gateway Building that will add new classroom and laboratory space.” For the fourth year, the Cushing Society Celebration was held at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem. Tom and Marill Demakes, were presented with the
2016 Cardinal Cushing Award. Since the prestigious award’s inception in 1996, it has been presented by St. Mary’s leadership to faithful champions of Catholic education whose personal and professional life mirrors the mission of the school. Two student leaders, Jack Carroll ’18 and Amanda Idusuyi ’17, spoke at the event, sharing their personal St. Mary’s legacy experiences both thanking the Demakes family for their scholarship support. Jack Carroll’s grandmother Kathy Connell and great aunt Margot Connell were touched by Jack’s remembrance of the Bill Connell ’55 legacy. Guests were entertained by the talents of our St. Mary’s choir and enjoyed the incredible vocals of Amanda Mena ’21, who won over the crowd with a standing ovation. “This evening we are given the opportunity to reflect on the role and impact two good people have had on St. Mary’s through their care and support for our entire community,” said Bill Mosakowski, “What we at St. Mary’s find most impressive is their willingness to lead—to be the first to step up and generously give their time talent and treasure to all of us.” A Greek prayer was given by Mia Nikolakopoulos ’18 in celebration of the honorees. Marill Demakes spoke first and noted, “We see and hear what goes on at St. Mary’s, and you are doing an outstanding job! Your academics, athletics and spiritual guidance provide a beacon of hope for our community.” Tom Demakes started his acceptance with “Who would have thought that a Greek Orthodox kid who grew up 500 yards down the street from St. Mary’s in Lynn would be so honored this evening by the Catholic community? My wife and I are humbled by the award bestowed upon us by the Cushing Society.” Tom and Marill Demakes both left the crowd in awe with their powerful words. Tom stated, “Our world will never be safe, and our children and grandchildren will never live securely until we dedicate ourselves to the proposition that all children are our children. You can ignore this, but the result of our not trying to educate all of the world’s children leaves that local community with a cancer in its midst.”

The beginning of what appears to be a rather promising future seems to be in full swing for Kevin McCarthy ’10. McCarthy greatly appreciates St. Mary’s and the preparation the school gives in terms of value, morals, and lifetime achievement. Kevin was an active member of the Spartans community representing both the golf and tennis teams. McCarthy is a 2014 Harvard University grad who states, “St. Mary’s gave me the ability to be a leader and truly believe in myself. I was given the proper values to thrive not only at Harvard, but for the professional world post-graduation.” McCarthy notes that his favorite St. Mary’s memories were the times he spent with his teammates playing golf and tennis. McCarthy, who grew up in Lynn, is enjoying life as a Boston resident. He describes himself as, “An active person who loves the outdoors and playing all sports.” He notes that golf has given him amazing experiences to travel the world and play on many phenomenal golf courses. McCarthy noted the challenges a world-class higher education can present. “Being exposed to such a diverse group of people challenged me to be better. Being average was simply not an option.” Kevin’s love for the game of golf also endured at Harvard. He felt accomplished to make the Harvard golf team as a walk on student athlete. McCarthy explained, “I faced a tall task as a freshman in the classroom. I had also loved the game of golf and was determined to continue my career.” Harvard is a member of the NCAA Division with a highly competitive athletic program. “People come from all over the world not to just get an Ivy Education, but to say they represented their institution by being a member of a Varsity Athletic Program as well.” One of the core values he gained from St. Mary’s was to simply always believe in yourself. Kevin quickly jumped into the professional sector after being awarded his diploma from Harvard University. McCarthy is very honored to have worked on a Democratic Congressional Campaign. The candidate he represented, Seth Moulton, was heavily out matched in the polls. “We were not favored to win,” says McCarthy. “It was just overall extremely exciting to be a part of the campaign from the from day one. It means a lot that when the election was over I was part of a group that’s hard work and perseverance paid off.” McCarthy’s diligent work paid off by having his representative, Seth Moulton, ending up winning the primary election for the Congressional Sixth District. Kevin is currently the CEO of Unreal Candy, an all natural candy startup company in Boston. Kevin credits St. Mary’s, “I will always believe St. Mary’s is the core for my success, not just as a student but as an overall person. The values taught at St. Mary’s are guidance for future success on all levels. The world can be yours as long as you are a leader.”

LEGACY PROFILE Karin (Meechin) Foley ’86 is a graduate of St. Mary’s class
Special Education and her husband worked as a detective for the NYPD. After 16 years in New York, the Foley family came home.
of 1986. Reflecting on her St. Mary’s experience, Foley summarizes it one word: “Great!” She remembers that from the first day of school, it “felt like home.” Foley says, “I made lifelong friends here”.
Her older son, Connor, was just entering the 7th grade, and Foley says there was no question that he would go to St. Mary’s. She says the school “helped him succeed.” A recent grad, he is currently playing a year of junior hockey. Foley’s daughter, Caitlin, a current junior, is grateful for the St. Mary’s experience. She says, “I’m glad I’m here and can relate to my family about St. Mary’s. So many people in my family went here and at holidays, we always talk about St. Mary’s.” She says when her grandmother tells stories about her own high school experience, she realizes, “Things have changed a lot.” Foley’s younger son, Seamus, just entered the 7th grade this year. Foley reports that he “just loves it.” Karin Foley, an applied behavioral therapist for special education, says that her children all “thrived from the smaller environment.”
Foley fondly remembers her time as a student, but the impact of the school can be felt throughout generations of her family. Her grandmother, Mary Theresa Killian, is a St. Mary’s alum, as well as her mother, Patricia (Silk) Meechin ’62 and four aunts: Jeanne (Silk) Rackley ’65, Rita (Silk) Leckie ’66, Rosemary (Silk) Martin ’69, and Claire Silk ’71. Karin’s sister, Kirsten (Meechin) Kasper ’84, Kirsten’s children, Joseph ’12 and Jamie ’14 Kasper, as well as Karin’s mother-in-law, Ellen (Donahue) Foley ’57 and her sister, Paula (Donahue) Sharfman ’65. After St. Mary’s, Foley went to Salem State and earned her bachelors degree in Psychology. She got married, and moved with her husband to New York where she pursued her master’s degree in 36
ST. MARY'S MAGAZINE
In reflecting on how the school has changed, Karin Foley talks first about the experience of her mother, aunts and mother-in-law. The school was two separate schools, segregated by gender at that time, and all the teachers were nuns. It was much more strict then. Foley mentions that lunch offerings are much more elaborate now, and the gym is nicer, and the school was much smaller in her time. The changes that stand out most for her are the technological advances. She says, “I love the portal.” As a parent, it allows her to “keep up on what’s going on” with her children. And regarding the iPads, “I think it’s a really good tool. It’s the world we live in.” And what remains the same? The spirit of the school. Foley remembers that the Thanksgiving football games and pep rallies were so much fun, just as they are now for her children. And when she sees Mrs. White, Ms. DeAmato and Mr. Coleman in the halls of St. Mary’s, the people who influenced her own high school experience, she realizes, “As much as things have changed, they are the same.”

ALUMNI PROFILE By Joan Luise Hill ’71
It takes about two seconds of speaking with Sr. Janet Eisner s.n.d. ’58 before you realize the magnitude of grace that she brings to her life. Her charisma shines brightly as she endeavors to make people comfortable and energized anticipating her thoughts about education and the road she has traveled. As we spoke it was clear that the word Transformation is a center of her tremendous focus. After all, how does one transform from a daughter in a family of four siblings (Including Anne ’69 and Mary ’73) to the President of Emmanuel College? Inaugurated in 1979, Sister Janet is the longest serving female college president in the country. Transformation came early and often in Sister Janet’s life, from elementary school at St. Josephs in Lynn to high school at St. Mary’s. At the time, St. Mary’s was a clear choice for high school as it was well known for its academic excellence. At St. Mary’s she was introduced to the Sisters of Notre Dame who transformed her life with their call to mission and service. It comes as no surprise that while there she was an active participant in all things St. Mary’s from student council and pep rallies to debate teams. The Sisters challenged the girls and expectations were high, but, as she says, her education was also infused with laughter and good will. Janet found the Sisters to be great educators, faith-filled women who had chosen a path to influence the lives of others through education and service. It was a compelling mission within a dynamic learning environment and one that she, too, ultimately chose to follow. She credits the school’s principal, Sr. Helen Wright, SND as being an

inspiring leader and mentor to her and her classmates. After St. Mary’s, Sr. Janet entered the Sisters of Notre Dame and attended Emmanuel College, a women’s college known for academic rigor and part of the Sisters of Notre Dame highly respected educational network. After completing her studies at Emmanuel, she received a Master’s Degree from Boston College and attended the University of Michigan completing her PhD in English. After spending four years teaching in high school, Sr. Janet returned to her beloved Emmanuel where teaching gave way to administration in her role as the Director of Admissions. As she communicated the message of the mission of education and social justice, she found a natural calling. She embodies the belief that offering students transformative experiences and opportunities within a solid grounding in the rigor of education would not only enable students to meet their potential, but provide the world with insightful future leaders. Sr. Janet is a known innovator and in today’s competitive and global market where STEM skills are essential, Emmanuel’s top major is in the natural sciences, probably in
no small part due to the College’s location in the heart of Boston’s medical and scientific community. Never one to be or stay stagnant, Sr. Janet’s vision broadened Emmanuel’s reach to include men, the development of a successful athletic program and a reinvestment into academics. All of which are certainly cornerstones of today’s St. Mary’s educational experience as well. Sr. Janet is thrilled that the connection between St. Mary’s and Emmanuel stays strong, and that through the Connell Scholarship she is proud to have St. Mary’s students continue to join the Emmanuel community. She recognizes that student success is a continuum beginning by being active in high school where it is possible to test out interests and skill sets in a supportive environment. Over her years in education she has learned that students who are
engaged through service and dialogue are the happiest students. Her advice to today’s St. Marys’ students is the same as the advice she was given by her own teachers years ago: Work hard and believe that you can do it. While goals may change, she believes being a committed, engaged and contributing member of your community is both a life lesson and a life joy—all an important part of making known God’s goodness. Former Emmanuel College Board Chair, C. Michael Daley says, “Sr. Janet has created an innovative and dynamic learning environment and established a reputation as one of the most accomplished influential leaders in higher education.” We are proud that Sr. Janet is a woman who got her start at St. Mary’s and continues to fulfill the St. Mary’s motto, “Ours is to Build” by building strong futures for her students.

Dr. Elizabeth Molloy Twomey ’52 and I have worked together as part of the St. Mary’s Board of Trustees since the earliest days of its formation at the turn of the millennium. Since then, I have had the opportunity to profit from her wisdom, her grace and her wry humor. It has been a privilege for me to write this profile of this very special alumnae who has truly been a trailblazer, a role model and has accomplished so much in advancing the cause and future of education. Though we usually don’t realize it at the time, in retrospect the line that connects high school with our future is rarely a straight one. This was certainly the case for Betty. As the only and doted upon child of Hugh and Theresa 38 ST. MARY’S MAGAZINE

“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves.” – William Shakespeare
Molloy, after attending elementary school at Sacred Heart, Betty chose St. Mary’s for its academic rigor. She appreciated the investment by the teaching staff in the students and believed in the mission of the school. She found both humanity and support in Sr. Barbara and Sr. Ellen St. James, both of whom became guiding lights throughout her educational pursuits. Given her family circumstance with an ill father, after leaving St. Mary’s Betty stayed in Lynn working at the General Electric in order both to be near home and to save the tuition money for her future education. She returned to St. Mary’s to seek the advice of her mentors about her next steps. She found a home at Emmanuel College where she studied English Literature and Psychology under another mentor St. Marie of the Trinity, who later became the President of Emmanuel. The forthright support and expectation to do one’s best and strive for excellence was encouraged by two of her mentors in the Reading Public Schools, the Superintendent, Dr. Robert Wells and the Assistant Superintendent Dr. Robert Munnelly. When she returned to the classroom after a hiatus to have her children (after all, pregnant teachers were barely tolerated at the time), she went on to Salem State College where she received a Master’s Degree in reading. This began her renewed teaching career as both a middle school teacher of English and a reading teacher. After the classroom, she became the sole female principal in Reading, running Highland School until it closed under the confines of Prop 2 ½. Her next stop was as Assistant Principal at Reading High School where she also continued her studies at Boston College’s PhD program for school administrators. She completed her degree in three years while working, and, as promised, by her son’s birthday. Clearly, Betty has been multi-tasking long before it became a thing! Doctoral degree in hand, Betty was appointed as the Superintendent of Schools in Lincoln with responsibility for Lincoln as well as the schools on Hanscom Air Force Base which were administered by the Lincoln Public Schools. Though it seems hard to imagine in today’s environment, at the time, Betty was one of only a handful of female superintendents in the entire state of Massachusetts. While Betty acknowledged she never set out to be in administration, she recognized early on that administration provided an opportunity to effect and lead
more change. In that spirit, after several years in Lincoln, she accepted the position as Associate Commissioner in the Massachusetts State Department of Education before moving on to the prestigious position of Commissioner of Education for the State of New Hampshire. Most recently, Betty‘s active career included teaching for twelve years at the Lynch School of Education at Boston College as well as the Roche Center for Catholic Education at BC. From chalk and talk to online education, Betty has overseen the implementation of new ideas and ideological educational strategies. While like all of us, her views on education have expanded, a key component of the educational equation is her fundamental belief in the importance of face-to-face communication to enlarge and deepen the discussion. A current Board member of St. John’s Prep, the first alumna representative to the Board of Emmanuel College (Betty was on the search committee that hired Sr. Janet Eisner!) and now as Vice Chair of St. Mary’s Board of Trustees, Owen Lynch ’52 provides the perfect summary by saying, “I have known Betty since first grade at Sacred Heart. She was a star in those early years and has continued to be throughout her life. She has had an outstanding career in education and become a brilliant administrator. She is a devoted advisor and trustee of St. Mary’s. We are fortunate to have her on our team.” Brilliant indeed, and as Vice Chair of the Board and Chair of the School’s Education Committee, Betty has persevered to ensure that St. Mary’s classrooms are full of the rich learning that each student deserves, so that they too can find their destiny in the strength and confidence that lies within each of them.

Dr. Cheryl L. Meninno ’74 recalls her high school education at St. Mary’s as “the best time” of her life. “St. Mary’s was a great place; I met some lifelong friends, which are still some of my best friends. It was a great experience both academically, and otherwise.” Cheryl played both basketball and softball during her years at St. Mary’s, and has many warm memories while playing sports with many “great coaches who were amazing supporters” of their teams. There were also many teachers who made a difference in her life, and Cheryl recalls specifically Rick Iarrobino, who had an impact on all his students, Joanne Wortman who was a great influence to Cheryl, and whom she was lucky enough to meet later on in life in Lynn Public School where they both worked in the Special Education department until they both retired. Lastly Maureen Ferrari, formerly Sr. Maureen Sullivan, who was an amazing leader and teacher. Cheryl continued her education after graduation at Fitchburg State College where she received a Bachelors Degree in Human Services. Cheryl the continued onto the University of South Florida where she achieved her Masters in Special Education through a fellowship. She 40

Cheryl spent 15 years at The Cardinal Cushing School in Hanover, a Special Education school for children across Massachusetts. However, Cheryl was anxious to get back to the North Shore near family and friends, so she was thrilled to return when she landed a job at Saugus High School where she was District Coordinator and Team Liaison for nine years. She then went on to Essex Agricultural and Technical High School as Director of Special Education for three years. Cheryl then moved on to Lynn Public Schools where she was the Director of Special Education 12 years before her retirement in 2015. Cheryl also taught Special Education for 15 years at Cambridge College to those who are studying to earn their Masters Degree. Cheryl remembers that her mother, Margaret “Peggy” Meninno, “was instrumental in allowing me go to St. Mary’s,” versus public school. When her mother passed a few years ago, she told her family that she always wanted to go St. Mary’s but did not as her family could not afford the tuition. Upon Peggy’s
passing in 2011, the Meninno family gave a scholarship to a student that graduated from Sacred Heart going to St. Mary’s in honor of their mother. Cheryl continues to be present at St. Mary’s, serving as a member of the Golf Tournament and Hall of Fame committees. “The St. Mary’s sense of family is something that has gone on for generations and will likely always continue.”
Dr. Ellen Kennedy ’79 has had an amazing education and career from which she got her start at St. Mary’s. Ellen says her time at St. Mary’s was ‘excellent’ and that it was a ‘special four years’ where she learned about friendship, loyalty, stretching academically and stretching toward adulthood. “It was a profound period in my life. I still have my friendships from that time.” Ellen recalls a favorite memory following the Blizzard of ’78 where all of her classmates where out helping people and shoveling, “That taught me a lot about life and giving.”
“St. Mary’s is a special place. It really builds community, resilience and commitment to the greater good.“

— Ellen Kennedy ’79
Women in Education Ellen began her higher education after St. Mary’s at North Adams State College (which is now Mass College of Liberal Arts) where she majored in Business Administration. Following graduation, Ellen landed a job at the College on a temporary basis which turned into something more permanent—a 20 year career at the school, 14 in administration and finance before moving into Institutional Advancement. Ellen also attained her MBA at UMass Amherst Isenberg College.
Kennedy. Jack is a ’52 graduate of St. Mary’s and is still an active alumni and strong supporter of St. Mary’s. The oldest of five children, Ellen’s brothers Neil ’86 and Kevin ’85 are also St. Mary’s alumni and Jane and John also attended. Ellen, who was inducted into the St. Mary’s Hall of Fame in 2015, states “St. Mary’s is a special place. It really builds community, resilience and commitment to the greater good.“
Ellen took a small hiatus from the workforce to attend the Kennedy School at Harvard full time for for a year where she received her MPA. Ellen then received her Educational Doctorate in Education, with a concentration in Higher Administration at Northeastern University. Ellen currently serves as President of Berkshire Community College, a position she was promoted to after three and a half years as Chief Financial Officer. At Berkshire, Ellen has a “strong team” and her work affects a series of divisions, including Academics, Human Resources, HR Development, Work Force Development, Communications, Enrollment Management and Student Affairs. “I love community college and its mission.” Ellen feels her greatest professional achievement has been “seeing people that I have the joy of working with grow themselves professionally or take on a challenge they did not think they were capable of doing, and watching them learn and grow from that experience.” Ellen grew up in Lynn on Flax pond with her parents Jack and Lucille
Ellen (O’Neill) Fritz ’86 fondly recalls her time at St. Mary’s and notes that the relationships she made while at the school is a bond that still carries on today. She has a close group of “lifelong friends” that still get together twice a year. In addition to the friendships she made, Ellen was a member football cheerleading team which competed and won the national championship her senior year. Ellen continued her education at Assumption College in Worcester; a place she feels was “an extension of St. Mary’s” as a “Catholic school with the same intimate setting” she had come to know at St. Mary’s. Ellen graduated from Assumption with a double major in English and Education. She then went on to
continue her graduate education, earning her Masters in Education and CAGS in Educational Leadership at Salem State. Ellen’s professional career has focused in her hometown of Lynn, where she has done and continues to do amazing work in the Lynn Public Schools. Ellen has been working in the Lynn Public Schools for 25 years. Ellen is currently the Principal of Lynn Woods Elementary School and has held that position for ten years. Ellen also serves on the education committee at St. Mary’s, which has been an overall ‘amazing experience’ that allows her to works closely with Head of School Grace Cotter Reagan and Board Vice Chair, Dr. Elizabeth Molloy Twomey ’52, who have been ‘an honor and pleasure to work with’. Ellen hopes to continue to work with St. Mary’s education committee to help them reach their academic goals. Ellen states that her professional values and educational philosophies; perseverance and the importance of putting in effort; are a reflection of her St. Mary’s education and most specifically the overall objective of a memorable teacher, Mrs. Lorraine D’Amato. Ellen recalls Mrs. D’Amato’s overarching objective of rigor and even when something is difficult, she stressed the ‘value of effort’, which Ellen has certainly carried with her through her professional career. Ellen still resides in Lynn with her husband Bill who is a Lynn firefighter, and their children, Lucas and Allie.

ALUMNI PROFILE When they write the book about the giants of Catholic education in Lynn, there will be a chapter on Joanne
(Ford) Eagan ’67.
Eagan, a 1967 St. Mary’s Girls High graduate, retired in June after 34 years at Sacred Heart, the last 30 as principal of the West Lynn school which she attended before going to St. Mary’s.“It was not an easy decision,” Eagan said. “I truly love Sacred Heart School and always will. For three decades, my Sacred Heart family has been an extension of my own.” Sacred Heart and St. Mary’s have played a significant role in Eagan’s family. Her parents, Margaret and John, are Sacred Heart grads, as is her brother, John, who also graduated from St. Mary’s (Class of ’63). Her husband, Jack, is a St. Mary’s classmate of her brother. All three of her children went to Sacred Heart and two—Brian ’91 and Colleen ’95—graduated from St. Mary’s. (Dennis is a St. John’s Prep grad.) “Catholic education is very important to our family,” Eagan said. Eagan earned an associate degree from Marian Court College, a bachelor’s in education from Salem State and a master’s from Emmanuel College. After graduating from Salem State and getting married, she was raising her children and doing some home tutoring in Lynn. She went to Sacred Heart to register one of her children and the principal at the time, Sister Rita, informed her she would teaching eighth grade starting the next day. “Four years later, I was the principal, and I haven’t left,” she said. Even in “retirement,” Eagan is working at the school to assist in the transition with new principal Mary DeAngelo. She plans to stay involved, though eventually in a much more part-time basis, focusing on admissions and development. “I have loved my time here,” she said. “I have worked with some outstanding people. It is a great team at Sacred Heart.” Eagan also enjoyed her high school years at St. Mary’s. “It was a great experience,” she said. “Between Sacred Heart and St. Mary’s, that led me to (a career in) Catholic education. I had no desire to ever leave Sacred Heart.” As the first lay principal of Sacred Heart, Eagan knew she had big shoes to fill. “The Sisters (of St. Joseph) were the greatest asset the school had,” she said. “They lived for everyone else. That’s what made Catholic education so strong.” Eagan said she was fortunate to have Sister Theresa Pond ’45 on her staff. Sister Theresa spent 44 years at Sacred Heart, including 27 as a teacher and 17 in development, before retiring in 2012. “I wanted to keep her around as long as I could,” Eagan said. Eagan said the collaboration that exists between St. Mary’s, Sacred Heart and St. Pius, known as the Lynn Catholic Schools, is critical. “It is very important that we work together to keep Catholic education in Lynn strong and vibrant,” she said. “We have faith-filled people that truly believe Catholic education is important.” Eagan is a living, shining example of that.

Most students beginning high school certainly feel a sense of nervousness and anxiety about going into a new situation that is totally unfamiliar and out of their comfort zone. With that being said, it is fair to assume the feeling Zufeng Eric Rao ’19 had when beginning his high school career last year at St. Mary’s. His first day in an American school as an international student from China was even more intense. “The hardest part has been learning the culture, to understand it, so it becomes easier to fit in,” said Rao, who chose St. Mary’s over Central Catholic because of its proximity to the ocean, the sports program and its low Chinese population. “I feel great about being here because I think the teachers are very helpful and the coaches are great. They show us how to be part of a team.” As Zufeng was entertaining the possibility of coming to the United States at a fair hosted by Edu Boston in China, he already knew it was going to be as a repeat 9th grade student. In the Chinese education system high school is only three years, grades 10–12, so he was going to enter 9th grade in the United States due to the fact he had only taken it at a middle school level at home. The decision to leave China after completing #19 Middle School, Gui Zhou, Gui Yang, China was totally his. “This was something that I really wanted to do and I made the decision. My parents were good with it,” said Rao, who lives with his host family in Lynn. “The education is better here in the United States and I want to go to college so this was the best way to do that. I feel like St. Mary’s has me on that path.” Rao has adjusted quite nicely academically and has been part of a few athletic teams. In the classroom his favorite class is Art, his toughest class is Religion and the one he has the least trouble with is Math, although he admits the Chinese schools are 2–3 years ahead of the United States in Math. Athletically he played on the soccer team last year, was a member of the state championship basketball team in the winter and is now in his first year as a member of the football team. “My favorite part of being here is being part of the basketball and football teams,” said Rao, who said his favorite meal in now spaghetti and meatballs. “Coach Brown (Dave Brown ’89, Boy’s Basketball Coach) has helped me a lot. He was very good to me and made me feel part of the team. He is going to meet my mom and sister when they visit from China soon.” With his love for basketball, it should come as no shock that he would like to go to Duke, North Carolina or Kentucky. “It has been challenging, but I am doing better every day. I couldn’t be happier with where I am going to school, it seems to be the right fit for me.” By Jeff Newhall

New differentiating college prep initiative at St. Mary’s A pilot program that saw more than 100 St. Mary’s students visit seven New England colleges over the summer is emblematic of the school’s commitment to enhancing the guidance experience for all students.
The College Prep and Visit program gave students the opportunity to visit Boston College, Brown, Clark, Holy Cross, Providence, Regis and Stonehill, escorted by Head of School Grace Cotter Regan and other teachers and administrators. “As students start exploring their college options earlier, we want to do everything we can to help them make an informed decision,” Regan said. The program, which will be expanded this school year, has also allowed St. Mary’s administration and guidance staff to engage colleges in new relationships and partnerships, from which students will benefit. Highlights of the visits included a writing seminar and interview skills session at Holy Cross; a visit to the Mosakowski Institute for Public Enterprise at Clark, named for current St. Mary’s board chair, and past board chair of Clark, William Mosakowski; and a presentation on cyber security at BC from St. Mary’s parent and BC faculty member Kevin Powers. At Regis, St. Mary’s students were given a creative writing seminar and a presentation from the vice president of Academic Affairs. Regan met with the college president and senior Admissions staff to discuss enhancing the relationship with Regis.

At Simmons, the Mosakowski Scholarship is a $25,000 grant awarded annually to a student from either St. Mary’s or Saugus High. St. Mary’s alumnae Kristen Mosher ’11, Rebecca Borque ’15 and Sarah Corbett ’16 are currently receiving the Mosakowski Scholarship at Simmons. Connell Scholarships — named for St. Mary’s and BC alumnus William Connell — are presented to St. Mary’s students going to BC, Emmanuel and Stonehill. St. Mary’s also had two members of the Class of 2016 get accepted by Harvard: Ana de Bernardo and Francesca Malatesta. “We take great pride in the colleges our graduates attend, and we want to do everything we can to give them all the resources possible to find the school that best fits them,” Regan said. The College Prep and Visit program was borne out of a guidance assessment done as part of an academic dashboard study St. Mary’s conducted with the Public Consulting Group.

“Regis has an excellent nursing and health sciences program, and they offer one full tuition scholarship to a Catholic high school senior,” Regan said. “At Clark, if you have a 3.4 GPA you can start a master’s program tuition-free.”
The program, which will be expanded this school year, has also allowed St. Mary’s administration and guidance staff to engage colleges in new relationships and partnerships
“The guidance assessment led us to add programming to support the academic initiatives in the overall school improvement plan,” Regan said. “We’re trying to make sure students are thriving the way they want to and the way we want them to.” Frank Sarro is serving as interim guidance director, while consultant Mary Delaney Cogan is working with the school on enrollment, retention and guidance. “She’s helping us to enhance the great work that was already being done,” Regan said. “We’re looking at some new models with the college process, and the revitalized college visit program is the result of that. We want to make sure students are achieving their preferred college option and help them find the best financial aid and academic merit package they can get.” By Paul Halloran

Lily Doolin ’17 has begun her senior year with a commitment to academic rigor, a goal to achieve artistically and an amazing sense of self. She is a scholar and an artist, is fiercely independent and is a leader amongst her peers. Doolin came to St. Mary’s in her freshman year, and saw the transition to high school as an opportunity to discover herself. Doolin is a proud member of the inaugural Scholar’s Program (which is in its fourth year now). She says that The Scholar’s Program has been a “unique opportunity” to discover her academic side and get in touch with fellow scholars. And she says that it is an honor to be a member of The Mosakowski Chapter of The National Honor Society. She is grateful for the opportunities this prestigious organization has given her to do service and to be a leader. Her work tutoring others has taught her to “interact with others on a teaching level.”
STUDENT PROFILE
She is devoted to The Theatre Company, and has participated in the program for the last four years. This year she takes on a leadership role with The Company. She is co-president, serving with fellow senior, Jenni Ogasian. And she has written the play that The Company will perform for DramaFest, a state drama competition hosted by The Massachusetts Educational Theater Guild. “The show is about a personal topic, and is also one that I feel needs to be talked about more in society today. Male depression is something rarely discussed today, and I figured what better way to bring this topic to light than to bring it to the stage.” She will also direct the show. And Doolin is the three-year member of the school choir. She says that she joined prodded by Mr. Mike McDuffee’s encouragement: “I took the chance and I have never regretted it. Choir has raised my confidence level in regards to singing, as well as in life in general.” Regarding her academic interests, Dollin says, “I’ve always been interested in English. My love for the subject was ignited in the eighth grade; I had this amazing teacher named Mrs. Shippen who created in me a love of reading and analyzing literature. I started reading independently, not just as a school obligation. As I continued to read, I started to get interested in actually writing; I wanted to create my own stories, my own papers. Though I prefer creative writing to rhetoric, both excite me. There’s nothing more thrilling than creating your own world, or analyzing those of others.” And her passion for writing influences her plans for the future. “While being an author is the utmost goal, I do want to explore other ways to apply creative writing to the workforce, like in marketing or business.” And she is considering focusing her future education on theater or psychology, as well. Doolin says that St. Mary’s has taught her “to love learning.” She has forged friendships that she will “treasure forever.” Ultimately, Doolin says, “My time here at St. Mary’s has taught me innumerable life lessons that have all amounted to one ultimate lesson: I am ready to face whatever the future throws at me. St. Mary’s has challenged me, pushed me to my limits, and shown me that I have what it takes to “make it” in this world, to do anything I want to, as long as I apply myself.” By Karalyn McGovern ’90

YOUR GIFTS TO ST. MARY’S HELP US TO BUILD FUTURES On behalf of the administration, faculty, staff and Board of Trustees, I offer a sincere and heartfelt thank you for all that you do to ensure the continued success of St. Mary’s. It is with tremendous gratitude that I share with you our fiscal year 2016 Annual Report. As we celebrate 135 years of educating students on this amazing city block, we find comfort in knowing how strong our legacy is and how important St. Mary’s has been to the Lynn community and beyond. Through a community effort, we are within reach of achieving our goal for the Building Futures Campaign and look forward to starting that project in the spring. This final fundraising phase will be critical to help us sustain the level of excellence and financial need required for the students of St. Mary’s. I am grateful to our benefactors who have made a financial commitment to St. Mary’s to help us continue to successfully provide a Catholic education to the students of Lynn and the surrounding communities. The time, talent and treasure that our alumni, parents and friends contribute to St. Mary’s inspires us to continue to do great things and tremendously benefits our students. In 2016, we witnessed record-breaking alumni, faculty and staff, as well as parent participation rates with our donors and our event attendees. The funds collected this year surpassed $2.3 million dollars and we were able to confirm additional pledges bringing us to $3.9 million for the year. Our alumni involvement, both in giving and events, continues to grow with 1,480 alumni parents and friends engaged at our events throughout this year. It is generosity such as yours that changes the lives of so many and keeps tuition affordable for our families through tuition assistance. Without strong philanthropic support, we would not be able to successfully continue our mission. Thank you again for all you do to support St. Mary’s!
