Board of Directors PRESIDENT Pamela A. McKinney, Ed.D. SECRETARY Charles V. McPhillips TREASURER William A. Prince

Founded in 2005 by the James Barry Robinson Trust, Saint Patrick is an independent

Catholic school with an enrollment of approximately 400 students in grades Pre-Kindergarten through Eight. We are committed to educating the whole child through our distinct model for educational success that allows us to celebrate the gifts of every child. Enrollment is open to children from all faith traditions, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, and spiritual instruction is designed to help the child as well as the family as they continue along their own faith journey.

Saint Patrick Catholic School admits qualified students of any race, color, gender, ethnicity, national origin, or disability (if reasonable accommodations can be assumed by the school).

Our Mission Saint Patrick Catholic School educates and nurtures the whole child — mind, body, and spirit —

DIRECTORS Michael K. Kerner

CO-CHAIRMAN John H. Tucker, Jr.

DEAR WOLFHOUND FAMILIES & FRIENDS OF SAINT PATRICK, As we approach the 20th anniversary of Saint Patrick, I am filled with gratitude and pride for all we have accomplished together. Almost two decades ago, our school was founded with a bold vision — to provide an exceptional education rooted in the Catholic tradition and upholding Saint Patrick’s mission, to educate and nurture the whole child. This vision has come to life in the achievements of our students and alumni, thanks to the leadership of founding Principal Steve Hammond and the Board of Directors, as well as the dedication of our talented faculty and staff.

From our students’ accomplishments in the classroom and their triumphs on the stage and on the sports fields, to their countless acts of servant leadership, faith, and character, we have much to celebrate.

This past year was truly remarkable, marked by academic achievements, athletic victories, vibrant fine and performing arts programs, and a record-breaking level of support for our Annual Fund. This annual report showcases the many ways our school continues to thrive, all thanks to our donors’ steadfast commitment. From our students’ accomplishments in the classroom and their triumphs on the stage and on the sports fields, to their countless acts of servant leadership, faith, and character, we have much to celebrate. We want to thank our many volunteers for sharing their time and talents with our Wolfhound community, and all of our generous donors for helping us secure a strong future for our School.

Saint Patrick’s core belief that “quality always improves” embodies our commitment to ongoing growth and excellence. As we move into our third decade, this year’s Returning Thanks theme — Enduring Legacy, Endless Possibilities — captures our mission to build upon 20 years of success, ensuring a strong and vibrant future for our School. Central to defining and realizing this vision is the invaluable support of our Annual Fund.

Your contributions to the Annual Fund are essential in helping us attract, hire, and retain the most qualified and dedicated teachers and staff. By supporting the fund, you also help us maintain and enhance our state-of-the-art facilities where we cultivate a love for the arts, creativity, teamwork, play, and healthy habits that nurture both mind and body. Most importantly, the Annual Fund safeguards the sustainability and accessibility of a Saint Patrick education for generations to come. Together, we can build on our rich legacy and take the steps needed to keep Saint Patrick thriving for the next 20 years and beyond.

On behalf of our entire Wolfhound community, thank you for your continued dedication and belief in Saint Patrick Catholic School.

With gratitude,

Lauren Mazzari Head of School

Remembering Suzanne Voorhies On July 6, 2024, our Wolfhound community lost a bright light with the passing of our beloved teacher, colleague, and friend, Suzanne Voorhies. Mrs. Voorhies was a talented artist and art teacher who began her career in 1978. After 25 years at Nansemond-Suffolk Academy, she joined her daughter, Jacki Voorhies, in the art department at Saint Patrick. For eighteen years, she taught art alongside her daughter, and we are so happy she became a Wolfhound.

Mrs. Suzanne Voorhies was not just a teacher but a mentor, guide, and source of creativity and support. Her gentle spirit and passion for art created an environment where students felt safe to explore without fear of judgment. She believed in the power of creative expression to unlock potential, foster personal growth, and help the human spirit endure life’s

hardships. Alongside the art curriculum, Mrs. Voorhies taught students how to creative problem-solve, push through frustration, and turn mistakes into beautiful parts of their art.

She truly cared about each student she taught and had a unique ability to coax out the inner artist in even the most hesitant pupils. Whether a student was naturally gifted or initially resistant, Mrs. Voorhies found ways to inspire and motivate. She saw potential where others saw none, and her belief in her students’ abilities often surpassed their own, encouraging them to achieve more than they ever thought possible. Many of her students pursued fine arts in high school at the Governor’s School for the Arts and beyond.

While we mourn the loss of Suzanne Voorhies, her spirit lives on in the confidence and creativity she instilled in her students and the beautiful works of art created under her guidance. She will be remembered not only as an amazing art teacher and artist but as a transformative force who taught her students to see the world through a lens of creativity and possibility.

Suzanne Voorhies left the world a better place, and we are all better for having known her.
