Fall 2012 - Archbishop Curley Notre Dame

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new crea$on. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17
In this passage, Jesus talked of change
from the old covenant to the new. While
Jesus represented what was new,
He was respectful of the law of the
prophets and the Old Testament. He did,
however, indicate that while the old ways
were the foundation, the new covenant
that He proclaimed would be one that
would alter the world forever. Indeed,
Jesus and His new covenant have truly inspired and changed
the world for the better. We are now invited to embrace the
new and transform ourselves and our school in Christ.
“Honoring Traditions and Embracing the Future"
will be Archbishop Curley Notre Dame’s theme this year.
Remaining true to our roots, we will continue to be the
school enriched with a 59 year tradition of providing:
quality academics that advance the scholars of tomorrow;
championship caliber sports teams that honor sportsmanship
and competitiveness; and a nurturing soul that offers
individualized instruction in an environment that values the
needs of others.
This year, ACND has embraced the future by: infusing iPad
technology; implementing new innovative teaching strategies; and installing a cutting edge wireless network. We have
spent many years preparing for this and our current administration stands on the shoulders of those who have come
before us and helped prepare the ground work for this day.
ACND now utilizes iPads with e Textbooks and iBooks
provided to all students (grades 6 through 12) at no additional
cost other than the standard book fee. This catalyst for
learning will house the student’s handbook, planner, and
books. With a new campus-wide WiFi network, students can
now do homework, research, work on projects, or read
wherever they like. We have also extended the school day
to include an activity period from 3:15 to 3:45 p.m. This 8th
period allows teachers time for enhanced instruction, extra
help, support, and enrichment. Athletic practices run from
4:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Changes can be both exciting and scary. However, despite
any anxiety, we will need to work together and “embrace the
future” and continue to do what is best for the future of both
our students and ACND.
I am excited to be the new Principal and help carryout these
changes. Please join me and the entire ACND family as we
“Honor Traditions and Embrace the Future” and, through
Christ, become a new creation!

recession;
Ensuring academic growth though the

Nurturing Souls and Valuing the Needs of Others
The story of Blessed Edmund Rice has inspired genera4ons of
people across the world. Among the values that we cherish from
his tradi4on are his generosity, his courage, his humanity, his
love of God’s word in Scripture, his devo4on to the Mother of
God, his prac4cal reaching out to the poor and oppressed, and
his absolute trust in God’s providence. – www.edmundrice.net
Weddary began working in HR a%er a visit to ACND to see Br.
DePiro. There, he ran into Alicia Schlinder who works for the
marke4ng department at MJHS and is mother of Alina Schlinder
’10. He is very happy that the connec4on was made and enjoys
being a part of MJHS making a difference in our community.
“Being born to two Hai4an parents, I can truly say that MJHS
has been making a difference in the community. This commu
nity is populated with individuals with Hai4an and La4n decent,”
Weddary remarks. “Every day while I’ve been here, I have seen
minori4es being hired. Knowing how hard the economy is, and
how expensive cost of living has become, I can truly say that
MJHS is actually saving families and lives.”
At ACND, we value the tradi4on of “caring” and this trait is
passed on by ACND staff along with a suppor4ve alumni net
work for the benefit of current students – the future leaders of
tomorrow.
Erik Frischholz, a 2012 graduate of Archbishop Curley Notre
Dame Prep received the pres4gious Eagle Scout award. Eagle
Scout is the highest rank a5ainable in the
Boy Scou4ng program of the Boy Scouts of
America. Erik has been Scout since the age
of six. His most recent service project was
to oversee the revitaliza4on of the Grand
parent’s Reading Garden at St. Rose of Lima
Catholic Church. He added 400 hours of
service to this project.
2012 ACND graduates, Ena Urbina and Christopher Estrada
spent their day off from school bagging 14,000 rosaries des4ned

pilgrims accompanying Arch
bishop Thomas Wenski to the
papal Masses in San4ago and
Havana last March and were
brought to El Cobre and le% at
the shrine.

Making a Difference in our Community
For the past two decades, ACND students have been volun
teering at the neighboring Miami Jewish Health Systems.
Whether it is the Knigh4ngales and Troubadours performing

throughout the year, their par4cipa4on is making a difference.
Chrystelle LouisJean assists clinic staff
and transports residents and tenants

program par4cipants,” comments Susan W. Willenborg,
Director of Volunteers at MJHS.

Le5er from Jonathan McRoy ‘01
I would like to thank the Advancement Department
for all the work they have done in pu#ng together
the online Alumni Magazines. I enjoy reading them
and staying informed on what's happening in the
ACND community. I would like to make a sugges"on
for an upcoming magazine: is there a way ACND
can reach out to their Alumni who currently serve
in the Unites States Military  Ac"ve, Guard and
Reserve components  and include these members
in the magazines?
Some examples of informa"on to solicit from
Alumni Knights who have served and are s"ll
serving would include Opera"ons that they have
deployed in support of ways that have impacted
local communi"es worldwide.
If you are in the US Miliary and would like to let us
know where you are serving, please send an email
to [email protected].
Jonathan has been in the United States Air Force
since gradua4ng from ACND in 2001. He is currently
sta4oned in North Dakota and works as a Weapon
Systems Coordinator and Unit Vo4ng Assistance
Officer. He is deployed to Qatar and Kyrgyzstan in
support of opera4ons Iraqi Freedom, Enduring
Freedom, and joint task force at the Horn of Africa.
He is recipient of the Global War on Terror
Expedi4onary Medal, Na4onal Defense service medal,
and several outstanding unit awards. Since on
ac4ve duty, he has completed two Associate degrees,
a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of
Science degree. He also holds the professional
creden4al of Cer4fied Manager from the Ins4tute of
Cer4fied Professional Managers at James Madison
University.
I believe that alumni, who were first taught the
profound impact of service, through the example
of the outstanding faculty and staff at ACND, are
now leading the way in society by serving their
country and preserving the freedoms that we hold
dear. And, the maintenance of these freedoms
enables ACND to con"nue the outstanding work
of educa"ng young men and women.
