From the Principal’s Desk

Building for Excellence Inspiring the Future Patricia Collins

Dear Parents and Friends, Seton Catholic Prep takes our responsibility seriously to provide an experience for each student which will develop their individual skills and talents while instilling in them the charisms of our patroness, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, which are faith, courage, love and determination.

Each year the Seton Catholic community emphasizes one of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s charisms and this year’s focus is on the charism of determination.

In everything we do, we will focus on how determination can play a more important role in our lives.

To this end, Seton Catholic hosted Immaculee Ilibagiza, after our entire school read her book Left to Tell, Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust. Our students, parents and the Chandler community at large were blessed by her Each year, our faculty presence and inspired by her story of faith, commit to taking each forgiveness, hope and determination in the face of student on a journey unspeakable evil.

Immaculee’s Catholic of positive selffaith turned this discovery by providing horrible experience into an opportunity to deepen her a challenging, rigorous God and to take her relationship with and enriching learning of other people. Her story to millions environment. witness of faith and her grace-filled presence touched our students deeply, providing them with a wonderful role model of determination.

Each year, our faculty commit to taking each student on a journey of positive self-discovery by providing a challenging, rigorous and enriching learning environment. Through hard work and accountability, students are encouraged to achieve academic excellence within a loving and supportive Catholic faith community.

In October 2012, our school received affirmation of our work in academics from the University of Arizona when we received the University Cup Award.

Established in 1929, the University Cup is awarded annually to the Arizona high school with a representation of 10 or more students in UA’s freshman class that cumulatively earned the highest GPA average during their freshman year at the UA. Seton Catholic Prep’s 16 graduates from the class of 2011 earned a cumulative GPA of 3.342 during their freshman year at UA. Our wonderful faculty continues to be the heart of our school, impacting the lives of each and every student.

We are able to accomplish this and more because of our wonderful loyal benefactors who continue to make our dreams come true! Their efforts will help us replace our gym floor and build a restroom/concession facility for the Michael Eubanks Stadium. Thank you!

Seton Catholic Prep would not be the great school it is without our dedicated alumni. It was wonderful to welcome many of our alumni back on campus when they gathered for the Sentinel Alumni Reunion weekend October 5 through 7, 2012. Also, I send a special thank you to those Seton Alumni who continue to give back with their time, treasure and talent as members of the Alumni Advisory Council and by serving as members of our various boards and committees. The love and support from Seton Alumni truly enrich our school!

If you find yourself on campus, please stop by for a visit. We would love to give you a tour of the new Academic~Fine Arts Building as well as share with you the future building plans for the Seton campus.

Blessings to you and your family!

Seton Catholic Prep to go Green in March

The Seton Catholic Prep Sister School Connection Club, moderated by faculty member Mrs. Barb Olivieri, will be hosting a delegation of students, administrators and city officials from Sacred Heart School in Tullamore, Ireland in March of 2013.

“The Chandler-Tullamore Sister Cities Project has been in place for over four years and is largely focused on mutual economic-development benefits,” states Leah Powell, Chandler’s community resources and diversity manager.

Last year the Sister School Connection Club was formed at Seton Catholic Prep to enhance the Sister Cities Program and a relationship was formed with Sacred Heart Secondary School in Tullamore, Ireland. This relationship began with collaboration on a recipe book between both schools which was printed and sold….a great fundraiser for both schools! The schools have worked together on recycling projects to celebrate Earth Day as well as creating an “E-Pal” program where the students exchange news and updates about their schools.

From March 14th through 21st, approximately 20 students from Sacred Heart as well as administrators and city officials from Tullamore will visit Chandler. The students will spend three of their days on the Seton Catholic Prep campus as well as participating in the Phoenix St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Seton Catholic Prep has also selected eleven “Pioneers” from their Sister School Connection Club to visit Tullamore, Ireland in June. These students are currently fundraising for their transportation costs to Tullamore.

We are blessed to have administrators and teachers who are committed not only to providing the best education for our students, but who are committed to providing a loving environment that encourages our students to reach their full potential and discover the possibilities for their futures.

I am particularly amazed by our alumni.

Seton Catholic alumni, from the first graduating Class of 1958 through the Class of 2012, are so accomplished in a wide variety of fields, and their experiences are inspiring. Furthermore, Seton graduates have also taken to heart the lessons of our Catholic faith and are committed to loving service to others as they continue to serve in their parishes and their greater communities.

I hope you will enjoy meeting a few of our dedicated faculty, accomplished alumni and promising current students as they tell their own stories of how Seton Catholic Prep has made a difference in their lives.

As Director of Advancement at Seton Catholic Preparatory, I have the privilege to meet and get to know many people who have a love for Catholic education and for Seton Catholic Prep in particular. In addition to the dedicated administration, faculty, staff and students who are on our campus every day, the people I meet are alumni, current and past parents, grandparents and community leaders.

Seton may be small in size in relation to other schools in the East Valley, but the impact made by the Seton community is significant.

Ann Marie Holter

Coming into Seton Catholic, I was used to things coming easily to me, but I soon realized that wasn’t going to be the case for the next four years. Mr. Vetti was one of the teachers that especially pushed me to my limits, but I learned that I can’t be successful without work. He taught me more than book smarts, he taught me valuable wisdom. The most important lesson I learned from him, however, was that we, as young adults, have the ability to make an impact, and that we should not allow older people to make us feel ignorant simply because we are younger.

Mrs. Self was another influential mentor in my life as my basketball coach for four years.

When we were underestimated all of last season and the weight of the team was suddenly on me as a junior, she was there as the backbone of the team. Whenever I thought we shouldn’t even try to win state, she kept saying, “Why not us?” Her constant competitive attitude pushed us to win state, and caused me to realize that anything I want to pursue can really be accomplished. Although it won’t be easy, it takes a lot of work, and many points of desperation, anything is possible.

Finally, Fr. Will was the biggest influence on my faith life. Starting with almost no relationship with God coming into Seton, his devotional love for the Catholic faith drew me towards him and the desire to learn about Catholicism. He obviously taught me a great deal about my faith, but he primarily assisted me in making my faith the foundation for everything I do. That, in turn, has given me the courage to stand up for the Truth in all that I wish to do. Fr. Will’s influence has altered the way I go about my life and, additionally, kept me from being afraid to express what I believe. Instead, I know that I can continue on beyond our small private school and stay firm to who I am.

I will graduate from Seton Catholic Prep this spring, and I am hoping to attend a Catholic university, but sports are also a consideration. The schools I am looking at include Colorado School of Mines, Colorado Mesa University, Benedictine College, and the University of Notre Dame. I plan to study mechanical engineering and later focus on aerospace engineering.

Seton Catholic fulfilled its mission for me: “To provide a college preparatory curriculum within a Catholic community focusing on academic excellence, leadership and loving service to others”. In servings others, I now have the opportunity to help others discover ways in which they are called to serve.

Although this event is not solely responsible for shaping a student’s sense of social commitment, it is a part of our school’s total program to shape our students into the responsible, caring individuals that is the hallmark of a Seton Catholic graduate.

Our students are not only academically prepared to undertake their university studies when they leave Seton, but they leave with the confidence to go into the world and make a difference that positively impacts others. And somehow, along the way, they have also learned that loving service to others provides enrichment in their own lives as well.

Seton Catholic was a wonderful place to grow up. Or, rather, it was a wonderful place to start growing.

The time I spent as a student at Seton Catholic provided me the opportunity to begin cultivating the skills and values that I cherish. My teachers planted the seeds, and as I continue to grow, my

I now work for the Volunteer Services department at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. While I work primarily with corporate groups, I still make time to greet our young Seton Catholic student volunteers when I see them. In fact, we recently were able to make serving lunch to the homeless a part of the service experience for some of the incoming freshman class.

From the moment the students learned about this opportunity to help, they brought in new and gently used clothing and articles that could be given to the children. On the actual day of the shopping spree, there was a wonderful turnout of Seton Catholic students, many of whom brought their parents to help. Seton parents and students, adult volunteers and young people from other youth groups helped our clients make selections and to wrap the items for Christmas. Beautiful Christmas carols were sung, and our students and other volunteers served food and drink. The interaction between the young people as they came together on a busy Saturday before Christmas to work together for the common purpose of helping others was wonderful to see.

One of the goals of the Fiesta Club is to provide service to others, particularly the needy.

Members of the Fiesta Club, as well as students in my Spanish and Honors Spanish classes, made the commitment to help needy children at the “Shepherds Shopping Spree” that took place in the Parish Center in the Town of Guadalupe on Saturday, December 22, 2012.

After graduating from Seton in 2001, I continued my Catholic education at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. Many of my Seton

honors courses and AP classes available at Seton prepared me well for Loyola’s Honors Program. I was involved in a variety of extracurricular activities at Seton, and I continued that level of participation at LMU. The various retreats I attended during high school as well as my experience as a Kairos leader gave me the courage to take on leading a small faith sharing group. The lessons I learned at Seton Catholic Prep about social justice and performing service led me to become the eventual two-term president of a community service club. I even became a founding father of a fraternity chapter at LMU. Seton Catholic prepared me to be a leader.

There are many clubs available at Seton Catholic Preparatory to provide students with opportunities to explore and develop their varied interests while enhancing the student’s academic experience. Each of these clubs have specific, individual goals, however, at their core, they exist as a means to nurture our students and to encourage them to live out the charisms of courage, determination, faith, and love that our patroness, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, exemplified in her lifetime. Each of these clubs has a faculty moderator, and I serve as the moderator of Seton Catholic’s Fiesta Club.

There are three things that I credit my successes to. The first is God. Seton Catholic Prep gave me the opportunity to achieve exceptional academic status within a strong faith community.

In 2002 my family, along with other volunteers, started the SCPHS Robotics Club to compete in the FIRST (For Inspiration Recognition of Science and Technology) competition. I have to admit I hated it. It took up all the time with my family, made us argue more, and left the living room covered in aluminum shards.

It wasn’t until the very first competition I attended that I saw the impact of FIRST and the severely cool aspect of giant robots competing and working together.

But if you apply yourself and dedicate your time and knowledge, you can transcend such titles and the do the most astounding things! Most of these qualities I learned during my time at Seton Catholic Prep!

It is impossible to predict how the decisions we make will affect our lives.

Only God can see the big picture of our life, and it can be very stressful to be a student in high school and find your path.

The following is a story of how a girl from Seton Catholic Preparatory High School joined a robotics team and ended up a scientific engineer in Antarctica.

After graduating high school in 2008, I began attending Arizona State University studying Aerospace Engineering. In my first year, I discovered the NASA Space Grant Organization, and as I was still hungry for robotic challenges from my SCPHS days, I sought out the underwater robotics team. I started looking not only at the engineering aspects of robotics but the purpose behind them.

In the fall of 1996, I began my seminary studies at St. Meinrad School of Theology in Indiana. I graduated in 2001 and on June 2 of the same year, I was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Thomas O’Brien, and now have served as Judicial Vicar for six years.

While a student at Seton, I very much felt as though I could be myself, and that it was a place where people would appreciate you for who you were. With only 40 people in my graduating class, we were as diverse in ethnicity and culture as much as we were in temperament and abilities. I enjoyed my years at Seton Catholic, but I think what happened to my classmates and I was that we understood that this was “our” high school, and we might as well make it the best experience it could be. We didn’t have our own gym to play games in. We

Transitioning from Seton with 180 students to a university boasting 40,000 was a massive change, and somewhat intimidating, but I learned to adapt and very quickly found myself at home.

Academics at ASU were challenging, but the study habits I had developed at Seton, and the discipline I had taken on, served me very well.

Upon graduation from ASU, I accepted a position at the Law School of Arizona State University and worked there for two years as I discerned a vocation to the priesthood. After two years of working

didn’t even have a cafeteria or a library for the first two years I was there. Our weight room was a metal shack in the back of the parking lot. But none of that mattered because high school is about people--not buildings. When you know people actually care about what happens to you, it makes you think twice about caring for your own future. And when you know teachers, faculty, and coaches want you to be successful and happy in whatever you decide to do in the future, it makes a big difference in cultivating your own desire for your success.

On average 40-50% of SCP students receive college scholarship money.

In 2012, this totaled $1.6 million for their first year of college and could exceed $6.4 million through their 4th year of college.

As educators, we all hope that we create the “perfect” student.

This student would achieve perfect scores on each and every quiz and test, earn awards on National tests, become a National Merit finalist, and earn the glory of being an AP scholar. However, as an educator, I know that each and every student is different, and my goal is to provide my students with many experiences to help them prepare for their futures (and I am not just talking about the benefits of Latin for earning high SAT scores!).

Sev Rodarte

My family has a long history here in the Valley. In 1932, Severiano Vargas Rodarte and Maria Ayala were married. My parents were young, settled in a home on East Morelos Street in Chandler and raised five children with extended family members living close by. The cotton fields provided work to support the family, and my father also worked as a caddy at the San Marcos Hotel during the off season where my mother worked as a maid. In the 1950’s, my father became a farm labor contractor, and was a familiar sight in the barrio, loading workers into his big truck.

My parents worked hard to provide for our family, and their example was not lost on my siblings and me. I was very active during my time at Seton serving as Class President and Student Body Vice President. I lettered in football, basketball and baseball, participated in school activities, and generally maintained good grades.

After graduation from Seton in 1962, I attended Loyola Marymount majoring in Political Science. Loyola had an affiliation with the Air Force at the time, and in 1966 I graduated from college and obtained my commission as an Air Force Officer. I served our country for four years as an Air Force Intelligence Officer.

Upon returning home, I entered the College of Law at ASU and graduated in 1973. I have had a 30 year career practicing law in Phoenix and have my own law firm. The experiences and challenges of my time at Seton, along with the relationships I had with great classmates, played a major role in shaping the moral character, discipline, strength of purpose and common sense that allowed me to pursue my life and career path. My 32 classmates and I recently celebrated our 50th year reunion (yes, we are still kicking), and my Seton friends remain to this day some of my closest.

Sarah Palumbo, ME

I have been blessed to be an educator for 15 years, here at Seton Catholic from 1999-2004, returning again in 2012. Through the years, I have had a number of opportunities to take students abroad to Europe so that they may experience another culture. Not only do I love showing my students about the world of the ancient Romans, but I also love to show them how to be a traveler rather than a tourist. While in Italy, my students speak Italian, go to the grocery store, and learn how to ride the public transportation. Years later, my students contact me and tell me how that experience has helped them in their future endeavors. One former student, after a visit to Italy, fell in love with Renaissance Art and pursued a degree in art history. This student is pursuing her passion by teaching AP Art History!

Not every student has the opportunity to go to Europe, so I try to provide my students with a number of service opportunities. My students have participated in the “adopt a family” program, collected items for an animal shelter, and made crib cards for babies in neonatal ICU. My students have also worked with special needs students. By doing this, they have learned what it is like to be a teacher and how to modify their lesson plans to meet the needs of their special needs students. As a result, I not only have had a number of students become educators, but also special needs teachers. I love to hear their stories of being in the classroom and how they have used some of my teaching methods to help them!

I was fortunate to attend Seton Catholic High School and graduated with the Class of 1986. Seton prepared me well for my career as a physician and military officer. The math and science classes provided a solid foundation which were invaluable as I fulfilled aerospace engineering pre-requisites at ASU, graduated from medical school, obtained a masters degree heavily loaded with biostatistics at Harvard, and completed the basic pilot training classes required for U.S. Navy flight surgeons.

Ernest Lee, MD, MPH

At ASU, I was enrolled in the Honors College. At first I was intimidated knowing some of my classmates had come from much larger high schools with formal honors programs. I remember cringing when opening the envelope containing my first semester grades; then jumping with joy after seeing I had scored a 4.0. That was when I realized just how well Seton had prepared me for college. During my MPH year at Harvard, I submitted a manuscript to the Journal of the American Medical Association. A few weeks later, I was notified that my manuscript had been accepted for publication. I have since published numerous articles and book chapters for Harvard and Oxford University. The quality of a Seton education is second to none.

The experience I gained as a Student Council and National Honor Society officer while at Seton provided me with a head start in military leadership. Currently, I help prepare 125 airmen of the 752nd Medical Squadron for deployment anytime, anywhere – to defend our nation’s freedom. I also volunteer as Commanding Officer of a Navy League Cadet unit in California – helping to prepare junior high and high school students to be leaders in our nation’s maritime services.

Seton instilled within me Catholic principles that have served as a moral compass throughout my career as a military officer – as a Navy Company Commander, as a Division Officer of Aviation Medicine, as an Air Force Flight Commander, as Chief of Medical Staff at Kunsan Air Base (Republic of Korea), as Chief of Air Force Occupational Medicine, and as Chief of Aerospace Medicine at March Air Reserve Base. The Catholic principles I learned as a Seton student shaped what I believe to be the most important leadership skills an individual can practice-the ability to listen and understand, to empathize with people, and to respect others.

The most important lesson Seton taught me, however, was to help those less fortunate. My math teacher, Sr. Mary Teresa, was always going on missions to help the poor in Mexico, and her example stayed with me. Years later, I volunteered to go on a medical mission to the Philippines. At the mission, a principal asked me to help her school feed malnourished children. After observing just how small and thin the kids were, I funded a feeding project for 50 kids. The school held a dinner to express their gratitude, and that was where I met the most beautiful lady – Delailah. We married and now have three wonderful children: Andre, 11; Christine, 9; and Lysette, 7.

Our family resides in Victorville, California where I serve on a nearby Marine Corps base as the Chief of Occupational Medicine.

In 2011, the Association of Philippine Physicians and Allied Health Professionals of Arizona asked me to help organize a medical mission. I contacted a plastic surgeon I had met from Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and she agreed to help. Within six months, I obtained permission from the host nation government. Last October, the mission took place at Santa Ana Hospital, Manila, Philippines. My wife, Delailah, led the dental component of the mission, and together, the dental and plastic surgery team surgically corrected 5 cleft lip/palate patients. The seed of service planted so many years ago by Sr. Mary Teresa had blossomed and was rewarded with tears of joy from the parents of the children we had helped.

Despite my relentless and passionate love for all things physics, it is not the only learning objective present in my classroom. Not all students will develop a passion for the technical wonders of physics, but there are a few universal skills I encourage that everyone should find useful regardless of the life path they might take. First and foremost is the skill of respecting the diversity with which humanity has been blessed.

Humans are instinctually tribalistic. But it is also the human condition to strive to overcome some of these baser instincts.

One of the strategies I employ to encourage students to mingle with all the various “tribes” in the classroom (in spite of the whining and complaining), is the random assignment of groups for each and every new group activity or lab. This encourages students to learn the skills of getting along with others not like themselves, accomplish work within a spectrum of achievers, and to tolerate the differences which make humanity so amazing.

Prayer is the order of the day before each class period at Seton Catholic. Another life skill I attempt to foster in my students revolves around this beginning of class prayer. I have found much value in personal and spiritual reflection. Instead of the typical “intentions” round-robin, I instead give the students something to reflect upon, such as forgiveness, responsibility and, my all-time favorite, gratitude. While on any given day the impact might be hit-or-miss, my hope is that students begin to develop the skills to take that time-out in order to reflect on where they are physically, mentally and spiritually.

I am a Junior at Seton Catholic Prep, and I love Seton! My favorite class is Honors Algebra 2 with Mrs. (Heather) Sternberg. Fall is the time for my favorite school activity—Sentinel Football!! It’s fun to go to the games and sit with my friends in the stands and cheer for my friends on the field.

I also enjoy being a Sentinel Student Ambassador. Student Ambassadors is a club open to sophomores, juniors and seniors who are involved in extracurricular activities and maintain a good academic standing. Ambassadors act as student representatives of our school at activities on campus and also in the greater community. As an ambassador, some of the activities I have helped with are the Golden Sentinel Reunion, Phone-A-Thons, Mothers’ Mass, and Seton’s shadow program.

When I’m away from school, I participate in competitive horseback riding. I have been riding with the Nadir Riding Academy since I was five years old. I was recently honored by the Arizona Hunter Jumper Association (AHJA) and the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) for my activities in the 2012 show season. I placed in the following categories: Reserve Champion in the Open Jumpers High, Champion in the Open Jumpers High, and Champion in the Junior/Amateur Owner Jumpers. Based on points accumulated throughout the 2012 show year, myself and my mount, Le Grande, were named Arizona Jumper of the Year for 2012. I also placed fourth in Zone 8 which consists of competitors from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. By the end of the 2012 season, I was competing in Grand Prix with a jumping height of four feet and seven inches, and I’m excited to continue to compete against professional riders at this height as a junior amateur.

There are so many things I enjoy about being in high school, and the people that make up Seton Catholic Prep are the highlight. I am so glad to be a Sentinel!

Catholic education was a top priority for my parents. All seven of their children graduated from Catholic High Schools. The first four graduated from Morris Catholic High School in New Jersey while the last three graduated from Seton Catholic Preparatory.

After graduating from Seton Catholic Prep in 1998, I attended Arizona State

University and earned a BS in Geography.

Immediately following graduation, I enrolled in Rio Salado College to begin work toward my Secondary Education Certificate, becoming highly qualified in Social Studies and Physical Education. I began my teaching career at Desert Edge High School in Goodyear, Arizona, working with alternative needs and emotionally disabled students.

a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership. On a personal note, I am married to my beautiful wife, Jennifer, and we have three boys, our latest was born in February.

I returned to Seton Catholic Prep in 2012 as a teacher of freshman Finance and Personal Computing.

It is also my first year working in an administrative position, and with the encouragement of the Seton Catholic administrative team, I am enrolling at Northern Arizona University to pursue

Matt’s mother passed away just prior to the release of this publication. We ask that you please keep Matt and his family in your prayers.

Seton Catholic Prep prepared me for life after high school in so many ways.

I learned to take on challenges, handle adversity, and to set goals in my life, and my Seton experience provided me with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to pursue them. I am grateful every day for my experience as a student and now as a staff member. It’s great to be “back home” to continue my journey involved with students in exceptional academics and faith!

SERVICE LEADERSHIP IN ACTION

Shoeboxes for the Homeless Project This year Seton Catholic Prep health teacher and athletic trainer, Joanne Scandura, called upon her health class students to assist with the “Shoeboxes for the Homeless” project through her parish, Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church. Each year this project focuses on filling shoe boxes with full size bottles of shampoo, mouthwash, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, comb, socks, scarves, and a non perishable item such as granola bars.

The boxes are then wrapped, delivered to André House and given to their male guests on Christmas.

André House is a ministry to the homeless and poor populations of the Phoenix metro area. Located in the heart of the Capital Mall District, they make their

services available to hundreds of people in need every day and are dedicated to serving Jesus through serving others.

The Seton Catholic Prep students learned through this project that approximately 1 in 5 Phoenix residents live below the poverty line…many of these being single, homeless adults. Among those living in shelters, 1 in 3 are children, 15% are veterans and 16% suffer from a mental illness.

The students also learned that many people in our community are considered the “working poor” and need substantial assistance to provide even the basic living necessities for their families on a daily basis.

Thank you to Ms. Scandura and her health class students for participating in this year’s Shoeboxes for the Homeless project!

Faculty member Ms. Scandura loads her car with just some of the boxes collected and distributed by a team of Seton students. Each box is filled with toiletry and food items and donated to the homeless through Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church.

The rally at the Capitol is just one way that Catholic students, families and educators participate in the national Catholic Schools Week celebration.

Now in its 40th year, Catholic Schools Week highlights the value a Catholic education provides to young people and Catholic education’s contributions to the community and nation.

“Catholic Schools Week is a time for

our families and educators to celebrate the integration of our faith with our high academic standards,” said MaryBeth Mueller, superintendent of Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Phoenix. “Our schools and students are committed to service, and make a significant contribution to Arizona and America.”

The weeklong celebration at Seton Catholic began Jan. 27 and continued through Feb. 2. This celebration week also included a Grandparents Mass on January 29 and culminated in the traditional Seton ‘THON Walk-a-Thon student-fundraising event on Friday, February 1.

This year the students from Seton Catholic raised money for St. Peter Indian Mission School in Bapchule, Arizona and at their pep assembly presented Sister Carol from St. Peter Indian Mission School with a check for $3,500.

The Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity have long run the St. Peter Indian Mission School and daily keep over 200 students in check with a rigorous academic and physical education schedule. The students of Seton Catholic Prep were proud to raise money for their neighbor school in Bapchule.

Seton Catholic Prep’s Rex Bowser named Coach of the Year

After Seton quickly jumped on a team that had shut out eight teams, including the past two in the playoffs, and shocked Lakeside Blue Ridge 28-7 for the Division IV championship at NAU’s Walkup Skydome, AZ Central named Seton Catholic’s Head Coach, Rex Bowser, Small Schools Coach of the Year. It was Seton’s first football championship since 1997, and the end of two-time defending state champion Blue Ridge’s 28-game winning streak.

The SCP veteran football team was hit hard with injuries early in the season, mainly with senior quarterback Ryan Bresnahan (51 touchdown passes in 2011) suffering a broken bone in his throwing hand in the loss to Tempe Prep. It also had injuries to its starting left guard, right tackle, middle linebacker and leading rusher. Seton Senior David Gesicki helped lead the offense at quarterback, before Bresnahan came back strong in the playoffs, as Seton captured its first state championship since 1997, shocking defending Division IV champion Lakeside Blue Ridge 28-7 in the final in Flagstaff. Seton finished 13-1 in Bowser’s fifth season at Seton Catholic Prep. Bowser, who coached 33 years in Indiana, 29 as a head coach, has a 39-21 record, 6-2 in the playoffs, at Seton.

Coach Bowser commented on the state championship win, “We were hit with so many injuries to key players early in the year … but the kids we plugged in to fill the holes kept stepping up and getting the job done, and I started to feel this team could be special. I thought if we could ever get our full team back, we could be very good.”

Mullin and his wife of 34 years attend Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Mesa. Together they have three grown children, all graduates of Seton Catholic Prep, along with four grandchildren.

Coach Mullin’s accomplishments, along with those of six other individuals and one team, were celebrated at the 9th Annual Chandler Sports Hall of Fame

Two Sentinels From Class of ’64 Win Golf Tournament in Virginia

Colonel John Thornell ‘64 is pictured second from the left.

Monsignor Jerry McCarthy ‘64 is pictured second from the right.

Monsignor Jerry McCarthy, ’64 and Colonel John Thornell, ’64 won the two-day River Creek Country Club Member/Guest golf tournament on August 25th, 2012. Playing in a Better Ball format, the intrepid team posted a 61 on the first day to take an early lead and followed up the second day with a resounding 59 to win their flight! Their total score of 120 for 36-holes was the lowest round ever recorded for the event. They proceeded to the “Shootout” against winning teams from the other five flights in the tournament and prevailed through the heat and subsequent rain to win the coveted trophy. The awards banquet was a great finish to the day as our Sentinels proudly hoisted the crystal trophy.

Hall of Fame Nominations Being Accepted for 2013

2012

The University Cup was established in 1929 and is awarded annually to the Arizona high school with a representation of 10 or more students in UA’s freshman class that cumulatively earned the highest GPA average during their freshman year at the UA. Seton Catholic’s 16 graduates from the class of 2011 had a cumulative GPA of 3.342 during their freshman year at UA. “The University of Arizona is fortunate to attract the very best high school students from Arizona and all over the country. The UA Office of Admissions maintains the proud tradition of recognizing these top students and their respective high schools for their academic performance. This recognition is facilitated via the Arizona Cup Awards for Arizona high schools and the Old Main Brick Awards for out-of-state high schools. Each award respectively identifies those schools and their alums for achieving the highest UA grade point averages as a group.

Students from these schools will be invited to a campus reception later this year and recognized for their achievement. Each high school is also provided with a scholarship to assist students seeking future enrollment at the UA. We look forward to the continued academic success of these great students and thank them for enriching our Wildcat community,” said Rafael Meza, Director, Undergraduate Recruitment Part of the award will allow for current UA sophomores to nominate a Teacher and Counselor of the year. They will be recognized at a later date.

In addition to the trophy and the recognition for its former students’ efforts, Seton Catholic Preparatory High School will receive a one-time $2,000 scholarship that will be given to a Seton Catholic graduate entering the University of Arizona for fall 2013.

The scholarship winner will be announced at a later date.

The Fund for Seton Catholic The Sustaining Seton Society

Monthly Giving Club Giving as little as $20 per month to the Fund for Seton Catholic makes it easy for you to make a difference for our students. These monthly gifts are easy to fit into your budget for charitable giving. Participation at any level will ensure continued excellence in our classrooms, expansion of extracurricular activities and added technology benefits. Membership in the Sustaining Seton Society allows you the ease and security of automatic giving directly to Seton Catholic.

After enrollment in the Society, you will receive a free Seton Catholic memento as well as a Seton Catholic events pass, which will entitle you and a guest to free admission to five Seton athletic or fine arts events during the course of the school year. Enroll electronically by clicking the “donate now” button, choose the Fund for Seton Catholic and the monthly deduction frequency.

Employer Matching Gifts - Did you know that you can double or even triple your donation

to the Fund for Seton Catholic? Many employers offer a Matching Gift Program to help maximize your gifts to charitable organizations. Check with your Human Resources Department for details. It’s as simple as enclosing a form from your employer along with your donation. The Advancement Office will do the rest!

Electronic Giving - Giving a gift online by credit or debit card is easy using our secure website (SetonCatholic.org). Online donations allow you the flexibility of making a one-time gift or scheduling a smaller, recurring monthly gift if that’s what works best for you.
