FUTURE SNL CAST MEMBERS? FACE OFF Students in Karen Hiller’s fall semester stage craft class created their own special-effects makeup using latex masks they made and painted themselves. In addition to special effects makeup, students also learned set design and construction, lighting and sound.

The course introduces students to the many behind-the-scenes aspects of theater and is open to any Seton student with an interest in drama and stage craft.

Seton seniors Andy Vega and Justin Kosisky are serious about making people laugh. They had the audience rolling in the aisles when they co-hosted an improv night in Seton Fine Arts’ Black Box Theatre in November.

Leading up to the improv night, they attended a summer comedy camp at Chicago’s famed Second City, which is known for its Saturday Night Live alumni. The boys are members of ImprovMANIA, a Chandler community improvisational group. In addition to performing, Vega and Kosisky write their own sketches, including “Dr. Z the Referee” and “Clown College.”

They have a bright future in comedy—no joking!

ECONOMIC EDUCATORS HONOR SETON TEACHER The Arizona Council on Economic Education (ACEE) named Karen Self its Economic Education Teacher of the Year for 2015. Self teaches economics and algebra and coaches girls varsity basketball, chalking up more than 600 wins and seven state titles for Seton.

The veteran teacher and coach, who received the ACEE award in September, received a $200 cash prize and an all-expenses-paid trip to the Council for Economic Education’s 54th Annual Financial Literacy and Economic Education Conference in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Seton continued its tradition of honoring U.S. veterans at the Third Annual Veterans Appreciation Day and Rosary for the Country. Chandler Vice Mayor Kevin Hartke took time from his schedule to join Seton at the Nov. 11 event that began with a flag-raising ceremony in front of the Administration office.

Former and retired members of the military who were recognized included Jack Barten, Quentin Beatty, Joseph Delligatti, Louis F. Knoll, Mike Lentino, Ricky Wagner, Char McCreadie and Tom Darby. Five of the veterans have connections to Seton: Wagner and Barten are staff members, Beatty and Darby are teachers, and McCreadie is a Seton parent.

CHARISM: COURAGE

FEATURE STORY “IT TOOK SOME DETERMINATION, AND YES, COURAGE, BUT I FOUND RICH AND COMPELLING ANSWERS TO ALL OF MY QUESTIONS,” SAYS WIRTH.

FULL COURT COURAGE Basketball Star Finds Ultimate Fulfillment through Faith

A

s a Seton Catholic graduate and star basketball player, Christina “Tina” Wirth’s path was decidedly mapped out. Her plans included nabbing a scholarship, playing college basketball and getting drafted into the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). Upon graduating from Seton in 2005, Wirth was well on her way! She received a scholarship to Vanderbilt University, where she studied business and nursing and was named Southeastern Conference (SEC) Tournament MVP in 2009. A few years later, she scored a spot on the WNBA’s Indiana Fever, and she later took her hoops prowess overseas, becoming a leading women’s scorer in the European Professional Basketball League.

T

hough she continued to dominate on the court, it was a passion for something bigger and better that eventually gave Wirth the impetus—and courage—to give up basketball and an enviable professional sports career. A love for her faith called to Wirth. After a period of intense exploration and reflection, Wirth came to the realization she needed to seek something more than she could achieve through playing hoops.

It was this “deeper conversion” that ultimately prompted her to leave professional basketball to share a passion for the pursuit of faith with other young student-athletes. She knew they could benefit from God’s wisdom and love as she had.

In 2013, Wirth became one of the first professional athletes to join Varsity Catholic, a division of FOCUS, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students. As a Varsity Catholic missionary, Wirth found she could combine two great loves—basketball and faith—by reaching out to young athletes on college campuses and helping them to come to know and embrace God. Today, it is this role that gives her the platform to encourage and inspire others to lead a life of faith.

A STRONG FOUNDATION For as long as she can remember, faith and sports have been two integral components of Wirth’s life. Though growing up with five active siblings made for busy weekends, the Wirth family attended Mass together every Sunday. Her father, Alan, was a former major league baseball player, while her mom, Diane, encouraged activity and fitness for each family member.

Wirth’s years at Seton built upon the strong Catholic foundation her parents had fostered. She recalls attending Seton’s lunchtime communion services but concedes she didn’t fully grasp its full impact at the time. She now believes this was God’s way of fueling her faith and increasing her hunger for the Eucharist during her formative Seton years. Wirth also credits Seton’s academics for providing the analytical tools she would eventually use to question and explore her faith and ultimately experience a deeper connection with God. During Wirth’s college years, she was regularly challenged by peers to defend her religious beliefs and practices. For a time, these challenges caused her to question the faith, but in the years immediately following college, Wirth delved into her faith to search for answers.

“It took some determination, and yes, courage, but I found rich and compelling answers to all of my questions,” says Wirth.

Wirth also views the four years she spent playing basketball overseas as “eye-opening and life changing.” In leaving the U.S., she left behind everyday distractions and opened herself up to embracing truth. Far away from family and friends, Wirth fully engaged in new experiences to explore her faith. Visiting religious sites throughout Europe exposed her to the fullness and the universality of the faith.

“I SAW BEAUTY AND TRUTH LIKE NEVER BEFORE,” REMEMBERS WIRTH. “I REEXAMINED MY PRIORITIES AND DISCOVERED THAT I NEEDED TO DEVOTE AS MUCH TIME TO CULTIVATING MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AS I HAD BEEN TO MY SPORT.” FINDING FOCUS This epiphany led Wirth to FOCUS, where she now cherishes the opportunity to help other college athletes explore the faith and strengthen their relationship with God. She counsels students to have the courage to stay true to their religious convictions during a time in their lives where this might not be considered a popular choice.

On giving her whole heart to whatever path God places in front of her, Wirth adds, “I think it’s so important to use every opportunity I have to serve, to love, and to spread truth and hope to those I meet.” She is clearly on a mission bigger than basketball; she is an inspiration to young athletes she encounters at campuses across the country. =

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

AP

and the AP Scholar Awards go to…

William Hietter ’15

The spring issue of The Sentinel Shield recognizes the latest Seton Catholic students to receive the prestigious Advanced Placement (AP) Scholar Awards. Last school year, 40 students received AP Scholar Awards in recognition of their exceptional achievement on AP Exams.

The AP Program is directed by the College Board and helps students prepare for a successful transition to college through programs and services that also include the SAT. The AP Program provides high school students with the opportunity to take college-level courses to earn college credit. At Seton Catholic, AP courses are available in English Language and Composition, English Literature, Art History, Music Theory, Calculus, Physics, Psychology, U.S. Government and Politics, World Languages, Macroeconomics, and European, U.S. and World History.

The College Board recognizes multiple levels of achievement based on students’ scores on AP Exams by awarding AP Scholar Awards. Drumroll, please…Here are Seton Catholic’s 40 Scholars who accumulated an average score of 3.76: Nine students qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award by earning an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of the exams.

They are: William Fry, William Hietter, Andrew Klee, Charles Kominski, Genevieve Leach, Jingju Li, Thomas Mager, Teresa McBryan and Sahil Sandhu.

Another 10 students qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor Award by earning an average score of at least

3.25 on all AP Exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams. They are: Jason Cusimano, Kohl Dorsey, Isabel Ewan, Christa Freer, Callan Gillette, Kaelan Hayes, Michael McDonough, Sarah Naldo, Kirsten Olson and Andrew Rangel.

Adding to the scholars are the 21 students who earned the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more AP Exams with scores of 3 or higher. They are: Kristi Arty, Erica Bender, Weston Boardman, Colton Brockert, Cecilia Buneo, Kathleen Casey, Kirsten Companik, Christopher Espiritu, Jesus Estrella, Cesar Fernandez, Eduardo Gamez, Jessica Lopez, Mackinley Lutes-Adlhoch, Jonathan Magnus, Gabriella Mazza, Emily Mead, Jade Panlener, Madeleine Ramos, Schuyler Schanberger, Andy Vega and Jasmine West.

All are from the class of ’15 with the exception of Weston Boardman, Cecilia Buneo, Kathleen Casey, Kirsten Companik, Jason Cusimano, Kohl Dorsey, Christopher Espiritu, Eduardo Gamez, Jingju Li, Mackinley Lutes-Adlhoch, Emily Mead, Sarah Naldo, Jade Panlener, Schuyler Schanberger, Andy Vega and Jasmine West. They qualified for the AP Scholar Award last year while only juniors.

“I thought it would be interesting to work on big projects that would impact the community around you.”

– William Hietter

’15 SENTINEL STANDOUTS: ‘SETON PREPARED US WELL’ Valedictorian William Hietter wrapped up a successful first semester at Gonzaga University, a private Jesuit university in Spokane, Wash. An AP Scholar with Distinction, Hietter earned multiple scholarships from Gonzaga, including the Trustee Scholarship, Entrepreneurial Leaders Scholarship, Joseph M. Cataldo S.J. Scholarship and the James L. Alexander Scholarship for Excellence.

Hietter decided to minor in political science and major in civil engineering because, “I thought it would be interesting to work on big projects that would impact the community around you.”

While at Seton, he took six AP classes, saying AP teachers Michael Vetti, Ryan Horn and Michael Mead made learning complex subjects fun and interesting.

“Academically, Seton really prepared me to work hard in college,” he said. “My first semester was lots of fun. I’m looking forward to this semester.”

Like Hietter, Sahil Sandhu is an AP Scholar with Distinction and attends a private Jesuit institution, Creighton University in Omaha, Neb. He is majoring in history and biology and hopes to become a doctor or surgeon, adding philosophically, “We’ll see where life takes me.”

The AP program he pursued at Seton translated into “12 or 15” college credits at Creighton, where he received the University Founders Award.

Like most Seton students, Sandhu spent many weekends pouring over books instead of socializing with friends. Such sacrifices gave him the tools to handle the academic rigors of Creighton, which is considered one of the top universities in the Midwest.

He is grateful to his Seton teachers “for imparting their knowledge and expertise and inspiring me.”

Andrew Klee ’15

Hailey Wilson attends Trinity University, a private liberal arts college in San Antonio, where she earned the Trustees’ Scholarship and signed on to play softball.

She is majoring in communications and minoring in sports management. Wilson hopes to become a sports writer or broadcaster. Look out ESPN! Wilson took four AP classes while at Seton, including AP English, which has proven to be a significant advantage in college.

“My (university) classes required lots of writing,” she said.

“Mrs. O’Neill, my AP English teacher, taught us how to write clearly, which really helps me with my college papers.”

Wilson was involved in Seton Catholic TV, Student Council, softball and basketball. These, combined with Seton’s hefty homework load, taught her to manage her time wisely.

“I got a very good education at Seton, which is helping me get a very good education at Trinity,” she said. =

COVER STORY

Loving Service on a

Global Scale S

erving others is central to our call as Catholics. At Seton Catholic Prep, it is part of our mission, the fiber of our school. During their years here, opportunities for Seton students to serve others abound. And while opportunities for loving service are plentiful in the community we call home, giving back has no borders. The following Seton students and alumni represent just a few who carry out our mission on an international scale. Each has a unique journey to share in the hopes of inspiring others toward global service and fulfillment.

DR. ERNEST LEE ’86, HELPING THE CHILDREN OF THE PHILIPPINES As the founder of Philippine Children’s Charity, Dr. Ernest Lee’s mission is to help the “poorest of the poor” children of his birthplace. Lee recalls seeing pictures of Filipino kids his dad had “fixed” as a volunteer surgeon there. His mother taught special needs children and, through his parents’ example, Lee learned the importance of volunteerism at a young age.

Lee’s passion for service was cemented during his years at Seton. While he may not have known yet he wanted to be a doctor or start a nonprofit, “Seton planted the seeds within my heart and soul that would later mature and bear fruit.” He adds, “We watched documentaries at Seton about nuns who had been killed in El Salvador while they served the poor. They knew of the risks and yet they went there anyway. This resonated with me.”

Lessons in humanity continued during Lee’s years at Harvard University, where harsh truths about “giving” were revealed by peers. They shared examples of organizations pouring millions of dollars of aid into lesser-developed nations, but the actions of corrupt politicians were preventing the funding from reaching the poorest kids on the streets.

This realization fueled Lee’s desire to set up a charitable organization whose proceeds would directly help the poorest children of the Philippines. They would teach children “how to fish, rather than giving them fish,” to ensure long-term success.

By equipping them with basic life skills such as fishing, farming and building houses, Lee believes the organization is giving them basic skills to get jobs and “fish for themselves.”

Thanks to Lee’s tireless efforts, Philippines Children’s Charity achieved 501(c)(3) status this past fall. In addition to volunteering his time with the charity, Lee is a busy family man as well as a medical director for a Marine Corps base clinic and Colonel in the Army National Guard. Despite juggling many responsibilities, Lee continues to give of himself and encourages others to do the 10

same. His words of advice are simple yet profound: “Helping others on a large scale does not happen overnight.

Often, a dramatic experience occurs which stimulates your social conscience and causes a moral outrage to arise. This compels you to take action to address social injustices in the world. If you want inspiration, volunteer for overseas humanitarian missions to see firsthand how the poor suffer, and the heroic efforts of others who have stepped out of their comfort zone to help.

I promise you will return inspired and motivated.”

“Even though they didn’t have much, they were among the most content, grateful and loving people I have ever met.” – KAYLA CASEY content, grateful, and loving people I have ever met.” Upon returning home, Casey was inspired to make changes in her own life by living more simply and gaining a new appreciation for all she has.

Bitten by the service bug, Casey is hopeful this is only “badae” (“see you later” in Swahili) as she is raising funds to travel back to Tanzania this summer. Those wishing to support Casey can visit gofundme.com/helpKaylahelpCairo.

KAYLA CASEY ’14, INSPIRED TO GIVE IN TANZANIA A sophomore at Northern Arizona University, Kayla Casey relishes the chance to share her experience teaching in Tanzania with the community that “shaped me into the person I am.” During her sophomore year at Seton, Kayla read Left to Tell,

by Immaculee Ilibagiza, and was inspired by the author’s journey of faith amidst the horror of the Rwandan holocaust. Ilibagiza’s visit to Seton further awakened Casey’s desire to give back and sparked her dream of teaching English in Africa.

This past July, Casey aligned herself with GIVE (Growth International Volunteer Excursions), an organization that sends volunteers on service projects around the world. She traveled to Tanzania with 12 college students from all over the U.S. on a mission to work with villagers on the eastern tip of the island of Zanzibar to construct a school and teach English. When not volunteering, she explored forests, wildlife and spent time on the beach swimming with local children. Casey also went on a thrilling two-day safari and had the eye-opening experience of visiting an orphanage in Arusha.

Reflecting on her experience, Casey claims she went in with the goal of teaching the villagers but ultimately learned so much from them about herself. She adds, “I was amazed at how happy and kind they were despite the fact that they lacked so much.

Even though they didn’t have much, they were among the most

KOHL DORSEY ’16 AND MICHAEL GARLID ’16, AN UNFORGETTABLE MISSION TO INDIA When students Kohl Dorsey and Michael Garlid journeyed to New Delhi, India, in October for a service mission, they knew they had a lot to give but did not realize how much they would personally gain from their trip.

During their 12 days of service, the boys traveled to remote areas where they worked as nutritionists registering, weighing and measuring local schoolchildren. Unlike a service outing to a local food bank, they came face-to-face with more than 1,500 malnourished, diseased and poverty-stricken children.

The experience opened their eyes to the impact of global service and the profound difference each individual can make.

While his parents fostered an early sense of service, Dorsey credits Seton for fostering a commitment to global solidarity and a drive to give back. India was truly a humbling experience that enabled him to witness and later appreciate so much in his own life.

“The children and teachers I met were some of the most genuinely happy people I have encountered, and yet they had virtually nothing to call their own. By loving, touching and smiling at each child and treating them with the dignity they deserve, I pray that I gave them hope for a better tomorrow,” reflects Dorsey.

Garlid similarly credits his parents as well as the Seton community for fostering a commitment to serve others.

As a middle school student, he accompanied his mother Doreen on a mission to Bangladesh. Garlid’s siblings Daniel, Kathryn and Erick have completed missions in The Dominican Republic, Haiti and Swaziland while Erick will embark on another mission to Nicaragua next fall.

He advises others not to be discouraged by financial aspects of service. Donations and support from friends, family and the Seton community helped make his trip more feasible—along with a Navajo fry bread garage sale! “Seton students and teachers were so helpful when it came to my mission and that really made me feel comfortable taking time off from school to make the world a little healthier.” t Kohl Dorsey and Michael Garlid at the Taj Mahal p Dr. Ernest Lee’s Philippines Children’s Charity at work, Kayla Casey’s mission in Tanzania, Michael and Kohl at one of many sites they visited in India, serving one child at a time.

Dorsey and Garlid plan to continue to give back upon graduating from Seton this spring.

Similarly, Garlid aspires to become a U.S. Ambassador to help to ensure human dignity is preserved and enhanced around the globe. =

Project Blue Sky t The future is green: Cheyenne Murray presents sustainable architecture, a growing green profession.

Lessons in Environmental Science GOING GREEN ON CAMPUS AND BEYOND

“Environmental Science shows us that science is not always about discovery and creating, but also about protecting.”

– Dallys Bostic

W

hile Seton Catholic colors might be red and gold, a green movement has taken hold on campus. The school recently received the Green Team Award 2015-16 from the Phoenix Suns and APS for environmental initiatives and impressive recycling efforts: approximately 20,000 plastic water bottles; 2 tons of paper and cardboard; 37,800 plastic water bottles saved from three refill stations on campus; and nearly 1,700 pounds of electronics organized by Seton’s tech team (see sidebar Project Tech Recycling).

According to science teacher Barb Olivieri, Seton has been named the Phoenix Suns-APS Green Team for four of the last five years. “This award keeps coming back to us because students are making amazing efforts to raise our environmental consciousness,” said Olivieri, who teaches Environmental Science, a senior science elective.

“This generation has an environmental conscience that will affect change: They are our future,” she continued, referring to the environmental science profession project.

The students uncovered several environmental studies programs, the colleges that offer them and various fields from environmental engineering, to environmental policy and planning, and sustainable architecture.

“The reason I chose sustainable architecture is because I found it remarkably fascinating,” said Cheyenne Murray.

“Creating an environment that is sustainable—as well as innovative and technologically advanced—would help to restore our Earth back to its original form.”

In addition to researching green professions, class assignments from Olivieri incorporate lessons, activities and discussions relevant to the ecological problems we face today to bring about change for a sustainable tomorrow. For example, Environmental Science students wrote letters to delegates attending the world’s largest sustainability conference, urging them to heed the message of Pope Francis’s environmental encyclical.

Prevalent class themes include pollution and climate change, water issues, ecosystems and loss of biodiversity, including the extinction of plants and animals. “Environmental Science shows us that science is not always about discovery and creating, but also about protecting,” said Dallys Bostic.

To enjoy and protect the environment and to care for creation are major themes in the Pope’s Laudato Si’—the only encyclical devoted to environmentalism. It is also the only encyclical addressed to every person on the planet.

Such is the take away from Environmental Science. According to Emily Samuels, “This class has taught me skills I will use for the rest of my life.” =

1. Install sun tunnels to brighten spaces with energy-efficient natural light.

2. Save energy (and monitor your usage) in the classroom with “learning thermostats,” known as the “iPod of the thermostat world.”

3. Put in automatic lights with occupancy sensors.

4. Install low-flow toilets and air hand dryers.

5. Place small plants on windowsills to improve air quality.

6. Provide students with reusable water bottles to use at refill stations. (Sentinel branded, of course!)

7. Plant class trees. Each freshman class would plant and care for their tree.

8. Plant a vegetable garden and fruit trees for use in cafeteria meals.

9. Work with the cafeteria to “shop local” for lunch items.

10. Turn the school’s parking lots green with solar parking canopies.

“We’ll take just about anything with a cord.”

– David Richard, Seton Tech Assistant

p Teacher Barb Olivieri with her Environmental Science students

When The Shield spent a day in Environmental Science class, the students were in blue-sky thinking mode, discussing ways to create a sustainable classroom and campus. Here are their Top 10 ways— teacher approved—to create the ultimate green school:

In February, Seton students and staff were busy recycling old technology that otherwise would have ended up in a local landfill.

“We’ll take just about anything with a cord,” said Seton Technology Assistant David Richard who oversees the recycling effort that concluded in February.

The technology team organized the first electronics recycling project last school year after Seton replaced 150 old computers with new PCs. Seton contracted with eGreen-IT Solutions of Phoenix to pick up and recycle the old computers, plus additional electronics brought in by Seton students and staff. That first collection yielded about 5,000 pounds of e-waste, and this year’s haul is nearly 1,700 pounds.

Donating or recycling consumer electronics conserves natural resources and reduces air and water pollution, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Recycling 1 million laptops saves the energy equivalent of electricity used by more than 3,500 homes. For every 1 million cell phones that are recycyled, 35,000 pounds of copper, 772 pounds of silver, 75 pounds of gold and 33 pounds of palladium can be recovered.

S

eton Catholic’s top-notch wrestling program has helped put the school on the map locally and in the national wrestling spotlight. Under Varsity Coach Eric Larkin, several of the team’s nationally ranked student-athletes have gone on to attend Division One schools on full wrestling scholarships!

The most recent wrestling star student is junior Quentin Hovis, who recently committed to the United States Naval Academy for the Class of 2017.

Hovis, an “A” student, chose to attend Seton for the strong academic curriculum as well as to hone his wrestling skills under Larkin’s supervision. Locally, Hovis has received recognition as a two-time state champion. Nationally, he is a 2015 NHSCA Sophomore National Champion and a four-time USA Wrestling AllAmerican. Additionally in 2015, he was a member of the USA Cadet Pan-American Team which competed in Guadalajara, Mexico last summer, where he clinched Gold for Team USA in Greco-Roman and Silver in Freestyle.

Hovis kicked off the 2015-2016 season in dominant fashion with a 12-0 record and all victories coming by way of pin or technical fall. He and the team competed at the prestigious “Beast of the East” wrestling tournament in December at the University of Delaware in Newark with 112 other high schools from across the country. “This is one of the three toughest high school tournaments in the country where pretty much every college will have recruiters watching,” says Hovis.

According to Coach Larkin, “Quentin is a joy to coach. He’s the type of competitor who always believes he can win, gives 100 percent, and therefore he consistently gets results. His huge heart—which he puts into everything he does—is a testament to his success on and off the mat.”

“It’s been a long time goal of mine to one day attend the U.S. Naval Academy and to eventually serve my country as a Naval Aviator. Seton has prepared me academically and Coach Larkin has developed my wrestling skills allowing for this opportunity. I look forward to the challenges and adventures that lie ahead and to one day be flying in the cockpit of an F-35, ” says Hovis. =

FALL ATHLETIC STATS Our fall teams had a combined varsity record of 87 wins and 42 losses, and several teams participated in state tournaments. Congratulations to Girls Golf and Boys Swim who accomplished best finishes in school history!

E

ven if Tom Darby’s classroom overlooked the Grand Canyon or the Potomac River, his current view could not please him more.

This is because his classroom on the third floor of the Fine Arts Building overlooks Seton’s new track.

“I find myself walking over to the window maybe too much to look at it,” admits Seton’s head track and field coach.

Who can blame him?

The new track features an all-weather, high performance surface, two pole-vault event areas in the north D-Zone, two long-jump event areas (one on each sideline of the football field) and a high-jump pad in the south D-Zone.

During a blessing ceremony in September, Seton students, alumni, teachers, and current and former track coaches took an inaugural lap around the track. They were joined by former Seton record-holders, many of whom went on to compete for colleges and universities.

Phoenix-based Sunland Sports constructed the track, which was made possible by community partners and individual donors.

“All I can say to these generous benefactors is, ‘Thank you, thank you,’” Darby said. “We’re just glowing with appreciation.”

Now in his eighth year as head track and field coach, Darby talks about his circuitous journey to Seton and what the new track means to the track and field program and the entire Seton community.

ON THE FAST TRACK WITH THOMAS DARBY SS: What led you to Seton Catholic?

TD: I was in the Air Force for 25 years and retired with the rank of colonel in 1994. I came out here and started a business, which I ran for about five years after retiring and then I took a job teaching with the Salt River Pima Maricopa Community. It was very interesting teaching Native American boys and girls.

That was my first experience teaching professionally. I started out in college wanting to be a teacher, but joined ROTC and decided to make the military my career.

SS: Many of our teachers have advanced degrees, but you have two…

TD: I have a master’s in curriculum development and a master’s in computer resources and information management.

SS: You’ve been with Seton since 2005. Did you start out as head track and field coach?

TD: No. I was assistant sprint coach for two years and took over as head coach in 2008.

I was drawn to the program because Seton has always been very competitive. Overall, we’ve had good records—both boys and girls. We’ve always had a winning record.

SS: Is it tough to get students to go out for track and field?

TD: We’ve been very fortunate —the team has grown over the years. We’re the largest team on campus. We average about 85 students. We go into the classes every year and talk about the sport at the freshman level.

SS: You’ve been looking forward to the 2016 season —why?

Boys Golf 18-3, 2nd Place Section, 7th Place, Div. II State Match

Boys Swim 8-2, 9th Place, Division II State Meet (Best finish in school history!)

Girls Golf 9-1, 2nd Place Section, 5th Place, Div. II State Match (Best finish in school history!)

Girls Swim 9-1, 9th Place, Division II State Meet

TD: The AIA (Arizona Interscholastic Association) is strongly considering bringing back regional track and field meets for the first time since 2011, possibility as early as this year. We are pretty excited about that. In addition, Seton has moved up to 4A. We feel we can compete with the bigger schools.

SS: Then there’s the new track…

TD: For the first time, our athletes have been able to practice in the environment in which they compete. It should cut down on injuries because they’re on a surface that provides more security in their foot plant. There’s more stability.

SS: What was the season like before the new track?

TD: We always worked out on grass or dirt. To prepare for big meets, we would practice at Valley Christian. The new track is a real game changer, that’s for sure. =

Y

oung people are known for being dreamers, so it was a bit of a surprise when Daniel Labadie ’14 decided to give up dance and focus on a more practical career goal.

He enrolled Arizona State University as an exercise and wellness major, resigned to the fact that his days as a performer were behind him.

“I thought my dance career needs to stop at Seton,” said Labadie, “but dance is a big part of me. It’s a passion.”

Fortunately, an ASU academic adviser recognized that passion and suggested Labadie pursue dance as a minor. He followed that advice, to the delight of Seton dance teacher Rolanda Polanco.

She recalled, “When I got his message, I said, ‘Yes!’ I think I literally shouted for joy.”

“Daniel is a natural talent,” continued Polanco. “From the moment he started in Dance, I could see he was learning faster than most students, improving faster. His growth in just one year was amazing.”

Seton’s Dance program allows students to explore many different styles, including Hip Hop, contemporary, jazz, ballet and Broadway, in the school’s fully-equipped dance studio.

In addition to being an accomplished Hip Hop artist, Labadie is a certified Zumba instructor and is a fixture at the Sun Devil Fitness Center, where he has taught Hip-Hop cardio, core-conditioning, stretching and cycling classes. He also gives private lessons and goes out on auditions whenever possible. “Anything to keep my feet moving,” added Labadie. =

“DANIEL IS A NATURAL TALENT. FROM THE MOMENT HE STARTED IN DANCE, I COULD SEE HE WAS LEARNING FASTER THAN MOST STUDENTS, IMPROVING FASTER. HIS GROWTH IN JUST ONE YEAR WAS AMAZING.”

Labadie was introduced to dance through Seton’s Hip Hop Club, and Hip Hop remains his specialty. He skipped Dance II and advanced to Company Dance at Seton, which requires an audition for admission and instructor approval. Outside choreographers also are brought in to provide advanced instruction and help students prepare for dance performances throughout the year.

DUO CHALKS UP FIVE COLLEGE DEGREES...AND COUNTING

A

p Mariam Polo-Petros

q Aaron Evans

ccording to the U.S. Department of Education, fewer than 40 percent of students who enter college each year graduate within four years, while almost 60 percent graduate in six years.

For Aaron Evans and Mariam Polo-Petros from Seton’s graduating class of 2011, not only did they beat the college graduation odds, the Sentinel duo has earned five college degrees between them.

Evans graduated from Tulane University in New Orleans last spring with three Bachelor of Arts degrees in English, anthropology, and medieval and early modern studies. Polo-Petros earned two Bachelor of Arts degrees: one in theology from the University of Mary in Bismarck, N.D., and another in global studies from Arizona State University.

They earned their multiple degrees by taking heavy academic loads (19 to 20 semester hours became the norm), while holding jobs and pursuing outside interests.

“It was hard work,” Polo-Petros said. “Lots of prayers, late nights and early mornings, but my faith grew so much because of the experience.”

Evans’ mother, Kathleen, a Seton employee, credits her son’s Seton experience for his academic success.

“He developed incredible time-management skills here,” she said. “His teachers helped him develop his gifts.”

Evans is pursuing a master’s degree in environmental geography from Utah State University in Logan, and he is planning to join the Peace Corps in the fall. Ultimately, he would like to capitalize on his diverse knowledge and experience to become a writer.

Polo-Petros graduated summa cum laude from ASU and the University of Mary. She is currently an administrative assistant at Alliance Defending Freedom in Scottsdale, where she supports a team of international lawyers.

ONE BOOK FUELS A PASSION FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE

K

aitlyn Fitzgerald’s decision to devote her life to social justice crystallized with a reading assignment at Seton Catholic Prep.

After finishing A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier, Ishmael Beah’s harrowing account of life during the war in Sierra Leone, she felt compelled to make the world a better place. She volunteered at the Arizona Lost Boys Center in Phoenix and traveled to Ghana, which led her to launch a project to raise scholarship funds for children of that west African nation.

Fitzgerald admits that her passion for social justice often isolated her from her peers, but she was undeterred.

After graduating from Seton in 2011, she enrolled at Arizona State University so she could remain close to her family (her mother has Parkinson’s disease).

Her desire “to heal the world” took flight at ASU, according to a profile about her in ASU Now, the university’s in-house news service.

Fitzgerald became involved with Changemaker Central, which provides resources and opportunities for ASU students to create social change. After serving as the organization’s student director, she went on to become communications and logistics specialist with the MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program.

During ASU graduation ceremonies in December, Fitzgerald was chosen to deliver two commencement speeches: as the student speaker for Barrett, the Honors College, and as the outstanding graduating student at the W.P. Carey School of Business. She earned two degrees: one in global studies and the other in business/public service and public policy. To top it off, she also earned a certificate in Arabic (she studied abroad in Jordan and Palestine).

Fitzgerald’s commitment to social justice burns brightly, and to think the spark started at Seton.
