Celebration Mass begins Rosary’s 50th Anniversary Year
The opening celebration of Rosary’s 50th anniversary was a
day of jubilation for the more than 600 guests who joined
with us to praise, bless and glorify God for the many blessings bestowed on Rosary.
The Dominican Sisters of Springfield, Illinois
Abbot Vincent, the main celebrant for Mass, was joined
by seven other Marmion monks, three diocesan priests and
our Deacon, Paul Iwanski. In his homily, Abbot Vincent
reminisced about the price of things in 1962 and concluded
that the best value that year was a new, Dominican, all girls
high school located on Edgelawn Drive.
Sr. Mary Joseph, our founding principal, was present in
spirit. Her reflections, delivered by Rosary pioneer Sr.
Dominica, took us back to very beginnings: Bishop Lane’s
invitation to open a high school for girls—starting with
43 freshmen at the old Holy Angels School on Locust and
Galena—surviving the inconveniences of construction with
no electricity, chalkboards or extra desks—being supported
by the partnership of parents, teachers, staff and students
whose legacy of trust continues to this day. Sr. Mary Joseph
reminded all of us that the goals then and now are the same,
providing an excellent Catholic, Dominican education for
young women.
The music provided by our choruses and orchestra under
the direction of Ann Mary Wagner sounded like a heavenly
choir. Perhaps the most poignant moment in the liturgy was
the singing of the Dominican Blessing by the sisters who
attended the celebration. So many parents told me that moment was a time for tears of gratitude. (Visit our YouTube
channel to see the Dominican Blessing from this day.)
Our young women played a big part in the day as greeters,
Eucharistic ministers and lectors. Under the direction of
Sandy Iwanski, the girls conducted themselves with reverence and dignity. Sandy and Paul Iwanski also worked with
the Dominican Preachers to make one decade rosaries for all
of our guests who received them as a gift at the end of the
liturgy. The rosaries were encased in lovely blue silk pouches
made by Debbie Olson and our alumnae.

the Rockford Superintendents of Education,
Michael Kagan and Margo Shifo; the Chicago
superintendent, Sr. Mary Paul; Dr. Quaid,
Headmaster at Marmion; Fr. Etheredge, Principal at Aurora Catholic Central; and Alderman
Whitey Peters who represented the Mayor of
Aurora. Current and former parents, students,
staff and sisters agreed that we were privileged
to be here to cherish a strong tradition and to
look forward to a strong future.
We ended the day with wonderful refreshments
arranged and served by Anne Danos. Our guests enjoyed
touring the building, looking at pictures, swapping “ remember when” stories and cherishing a memory of an extraordinary day of blessings.
More events are planned to celebrate throughout the year:
February 23, 2013: Golden Jubilee Candlelight Ball

School Life
Bringing the Courtroom to the Classroom
Associate Judge Linda Abrahamson came to Rosary High
School in September and presented a new program called
Bringing the Courtroom to the Classroom to Ms. Denise
Iffland’s American Government classes. This program was
established by the Illinois Judges Association to promote a
better understanding of the work of the courts, and to share
information regarding important legal and constitutional
issues.
Prior to Judge Abrahamson’s visit, the students read and
discussed the United States Supreme Court case of New
Jersey v. T.L.O. which decided a Fourth Amendment
issue of concern to students: Is it constitutional for school
officials to search a student’s possessions at school without a
warrant?
Judge Abrahamson gave an overview of the three branches
of government and the Illinois court system, then lead a
discussion of the case and the real-world ramifications of the
legal issues involved.
The program aims to demonstrate to students the important
role our courts play in our society. Perhaps this experience
will inspire some Rosary students to become the lawyers and
Law clerk Jose Munoz, Jr., Associate Judge Linda Abrahamson,
Sister Patricia Burke, and American Government teacher Ms.
Denise Iffland.
judges of the future.
The Illinois Judges Association hopes to bring the program
to 225 classrooms to commemorate the 225th anniversary of
the Constitution of the United States.
Staff Attends Yearbook Camp
Each summer, Rosary sends a few members of the yearbook
staff to camp. The girls competed at the Midwest Yearbook
Workshop held at St. Xavier University for three days in
June. Schools come from Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Illinois. The schools develop the theme and layouts for the
coming year’s book and have the chance to work with artists
from Dallas, Texas. They are judged on their mock yearbook
that must include the cover, theme development, layouts,
photography, copy and captions.
Attending this year were Abby Urbik, Emma Pettyjohn,
Lexi Lovetere, Holly Kuhn and Mollie Dempsey.

Thirteen Students Help with 13th Springfield Project
The Springfield Project is a three-day service experience held
in Springfield Illinois. This past summer was the 13th year
that Rosary students attended. The girls worked at Mercy
Home, a shelter for battered women and children. They
helped clean out an abandoned house to prepare it for occupancy for the families. From there, the families work to
regain their independence.
Students also worked at Jubilee Farm, an ecology and spirituality center where they helped weed the gardens. At St.
Martin’s food and clothing pantry, the girls helped the elderly
people who run the program do deep cleaning.
The girls also had fun visiting historical Lincoln sites, went
bowling, and built a connection with the Dominican mother
house, located in Springfield. They ate their meals there and
got to know the sisters.
Thirteen students attended the Springfield Project this past
year: Stephanie Ebert, Celine Italia, Maddy Hemmerich,
Marie Zolfo, Sydney Price, Colleen Madlinger, Kianna Musaraca, Cecelia Kinane, Emma Knudtson, Juliana Froehlich,
Erin Bowe, Breanna Sanchez, Amanda Saltijeral.
Plans are in the works for Rosary’s 14th annual Springfield
Project in the summer of 2013.
Economics Class Tours the Fed, Board of Trade and More
Students in Mrs. Roberta Stubing’s Economics class visited
various locations in the Chicago Loop October 26. The first
stop was the Chicago Federal Reserve. Mr. Don Wagner
spoke about the history as well as the current role of the Fed
and gave a tour of the interactive museum.
The next stop was the Chicago Board of Trade where Mrs.
Liz Francis and Mrs. Joe Choinski of the CME group
explained the trading process in the pits and the role that
technology has played recently.
The students then visited the regional investment firm,
William Blair & Company. There the Sullivan team gave a
presentation about investing and tour of the various departments including bond and institutional trading as well as
retail investing.
Terese Simonek Gravenhorst (Rosary Class of ’76) met with
the group for lunch. Mrs. Gravenhorst graduated from Barat
College with an economics degree and is employed by J.P.
Morgan Chase. The final stop was a visit to the Art Institute
of Chicago.
Making the trip were Economics students Kara Clark,
Heather Glanville, Paige Robinson, Katie Fitzpatrick and

Dominican Preachers
Have you even wondered what the “O.P.” stands for at the
end of our Dominican sisters’ signatures? It stands for “Order of Preachers,” a title given to Dominican friars, brothers,
nuns, sisters, and lay Dominicans the world over.
The Dominican Association of Secondary Schools sponsors
an annual summer conference to connect Dominican high
school students from the United States and Puerto Rico. In
the Spring of their sophomore year, students are invited to
apply for the Dominican Preaching team. Each year, faculty
moderators Paul and Sandy Iwanski travel to Siena Heights
University in Adrian, Michigan to attend the conference
with four to six students who are entering their junior year.
Students who are chosen to attend this conference serve
on the Dominican Preaching team for two years — which
means we always have between eight and ten Dominican
Preachers in our student body. Our newest Preachers (pictured at right with the Iwanskis) are juniors Sara Caligiuri,
Abby Hammer, Devon James, Lauren Murray, Anna Ward
and Angela Wrona. They join senior Preachers Margaret
Archibald, Aimee Arvayo, Nicole Filardi and Taylor Gibson.
The Dominican Preacher action plan for this school year
includes helping freshmen learn to make rosaries. As planned
last year, they completed a hand-knotted, one-decade rosary
for everyone who attended the opening liturgy for our 50th
anniversary year. The Alumnae Association created royal blue
satin cases for each 50th anniversary rosary.
Pray with Us
Families and friends are always welcome to join the
Rosary High School community for our Eucharistic
liturgies and prayer services. The school handbook and
website announcements will remind you of upcoming opportunities to stop by school and pray with your
daughter and her friends (please use the office entrance
and pick up a “visitor” name tag). Our upcoming plans
include:
• Communion Service with Liturgy of the Word: every
Friday at 10:28 am; 11:16 am; 12:04 pm in the prayer
space in the foyer
Senior Retreat Team
Rosary High School’s 2012-13 Senior Retreat Team gathered at LaSalle Manor in Plano for a two-day retreat to
prepare for a year of serving the Rosary community. SRT
plans one-day retreats for all grade levels, assists at liturgy,
and serves in leadership roles throughout the year. In the
spring of junior year, girls are invited to apply for this important ministry. They are selected based on their leadership
potential and their willingness to share their faith.

Prayer…..Study….Community…..Service
The Dominican Pillars come to life as we look at the ways
our girls have lived out the pillar of service. If we could
attach a number to the Dominican challenge to “preach
with our lives” it would be 20,483—that is the number of
service hours Rosary students completed in the 2011-2012
school year. The numbers also tell us that preaching with our
lives becomes more a part of life as we grow in the Rosary
Dominican community: Last year’s seniors completed 7939
hours; juniors 5451 hours; sophomores 4351 hours; and
freshmen 2742 hours.
Twice each year, students complete written theological reflections which become part of their service records. Students
describe their service experiences:
It inspired me…the innocence of these kids and the pureness of
their hearts.
Each and every time I have gone on the Appalachian Service
Project I have seen God: in the man whose house we had to
make safe for him..in the group of people I was working with…
in the smiling faces of the family we were helping..I could see
God everywhere…I could see God in me!
I tutored this semester. God helped me show my student how interesting and important the study of life is. God helped me foster
a great personal relationship with her as well.
Freshmen Hold Fall Retreat
Deep Roots-Bold Dreams: Welcome to the Family was
the theme of the October 17 freshman retreat. They explored the Dominican pillars of Prayer, Study, Community, and Preaching and looked at how the pillars shape life
at Rosary. Through talks presented by the Senior Retreat
Team and small group discussions, students looked at
Dominican life. The SRT shared stories of what they love
about being a Rosary girl.
Asked to choose one word to describe this gathering
with other Rosary girls, the freshmen included: family, friendship, sisterhood, fun, beginnings, acceptance,
hope, support. What a great beginning to the high school
experience!
As part of the closing prayer service, each member of the
class of 2016 wrote a letter to herself as she responded
to reflection questions about her hopes and dreams for
her years at Rosary, and how she experiences God in her
life. Today’s freshman, like every Rosary girl, will find
her freshman retreat letter in the envelope that holds her
diploma in May of 2016.
My service reminded me of the feeding of 5000. Jesus was able to
provide many hungry people with food, just like I was able to by
helping out at the food pantry.
It feels good to know that I have a talent given by God that I
can use to help somebody else.
I participated in the Hope D Wall School Christmas party…I
participate every year and every year I volunteer there I love it
even more…the smiles are priceless…it encourages me to keep
volunteering.
In 2011-2012, 111 students received service awards. Students who complete 200+ hours of service in a school year
receive the Dominican Service Award. Service awards are also
presented to students who complete 100+ and 50+ hours in
one school year.
Service Requirements
All Rosary students have an annual ten-hour service
commitment, but most students surpass this goal. See the
Rosary website under Student Life ---> Campus Ministry for
more information about our service program and to review
our list of service agencies. To add your favorite charity to
the list of not-for-profit agencies posted on our website,

Celebrate Seniors
It’s a tradition! On September 25, seniors set aside the morning to celebrate the start of their graduation year. The Senior
Retreat Team led their classmates through a review of the
years they have spent at Rosary, and invited each student to
choose one word that summed up her goal for a beautiful
senior year. The morning had everything needed for a great
celebration: eating, talking, sharing, praying and singing.
This is a great place to discover that you have soul sisters!
Freshmen Make Rosaries
Spearheaded by the Action Plan of our Dominican Preachers,
on October 25th, our freshman Theology classes welcomed
Sr. Jean Patrick Ernhart, a Dominican sister of Springfield,
who taught our girls how to hand-knot a rosary. Colored
twine and tangled fingers soon led to carefully crafted prayer
beads as Sr. Jean Patrick, assisted by our Dominican Preachers, helped students make a rosary that is truly their own.
The days leading up to Rosary’s all-school celebration of the
Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary found freshmen huddled
in study hall, at the lunch table, in the library and in the
hallway tying knots and showing their friends how to craft a
rosary.

Rosary clubs USA Leaders and Las Hermanitas sponsored
a Coat Drive at Rosary this Fall, filling four large bins with
coats to be donated to those in need.
SAFE Club: Red Ribbon Week
Rosary’s SAFE Club planned many activities during Red
Ribbon Week (Oct. 23-31) to increase student awareness
about drug and alcohol abuse factually and spiritually. Club
members began each day of Red Ribbon Week with a prayer
and told the story of how the event originated. During the
past three years, the SAFE Club has established standards
and traditions for Red Ribbon Week at Rosary, including
handing out red ribbons to all staff and students to wear,
praying for those whose lives are affected by alcohol and drug
addiction, educating students about drug and alcohol abuse,
and having the entire student body sign a Red Ribbon Week
banner pledging to take a stand against drug and alcohol use.
This year’s banner was displayed in the foyer next to the banners from the prior two years.
The goal of Rosary’s SAFE Club is to educate students on
staying safe. This year the club is bringing awareness to drug
and alcohol abuse, the danger of texting while driving, and
bullying. The members are also involved with several activities including Picnic for Peace at Phillips Park, Operation
Snow Ball, and pre-prom drug and alcohol education and
awareness.
Events and Clubs
Rosary Day
Because October 7, the Feast of Our
Lady of the Rosary, was on a Sunday,
we celebrated Rosary Day on Friday,
October 5. The whole community gathered to pray the prayer that
names our school. The rosary is a gift
to us from St. Dominic, who received
it from the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is
a contemplative prayer: a gentle prayer that points us in the
direction of taking time to reflect ... to be still ... to consider
who we are and whose we are ... to think about our life’s
journey.
Our shared prayer led us right into another community
event: a picnic! The courtyard, foyer, and cafeteria provided
picnic spots as all enjoyed the chance for hot dogs and a
change-of-pace lunchtime. The lunchtime stars were Parent
Auxiliary volunteers who prepared and served our delightful
picnic lunch. In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, lunchtime included a DJ playing the hits of the 1960s.
Rosary/Marmion Pep Club

The co-ed club has worked diligently to support both
schools’ varsity teams. Some of the highlights have been
the making of super fan banners for these premier athletes,
boosting fan attendance for specific events, collaborating
with our brother school to enhance student relationships,
and assisting in leading our fan section to cheers of victory
for our sports.
Pep Club is led under the guidance of Mrs. Laura Ruddy
(Rosary English Teacher) and is assisted greatly by Sr. Patricia
Burke, Dr. Quaid, Mrs. Garofalo, Mrs. Carlson, and the Executive Boards of the Rosary Rowdies and the Cadet Crazies.
Pep Club will continue to grow and foster positive energized
people for the winter and spring sport seasons! If you haven’t
joined, it is not too late—we are always looking for more
super fans!

Rosary’s Parents Auxiliary began what looks to become a new tradition this year by hosting the inaugural FreshFest on August

Development
The Annual Rosary Appeal is Underway
The Rosary Appeal is our annual major funding
campaign that runs from late October through
the end of June. The focus of the Rosary Appeal
this year is three-fold: bridging the tuition gap,
increasing the number of merit-based scholarships, and funding technology initiatives.
The tuition gap is the difference between tuition
and the actual cost of educating one young
woman at Rosary. This year, Rosary’s tuition
gap stands at $2900. Please keep in mind that
nearly all Catholic high schools experience this
“gap”; the national average for tuition gap is
$2100. Your donation to the Rosary Appeal enables us to
bridge this gap and allows us so much more flexibility when
addressing the financial needs of the school.
The Rosary Appeal is also focused on increasing the number
of available merit-based scholarships. Generations of parents tell us that their daughters have excelled in all facets of
life thanks to the foundation provided by their Rosary education. Colleges actively recruit Rosary women as evidenced
by $13.4 million in college scholarships awarded last year.
By attracting “the best and the brightest”, this Rosary legacy
will continue well into the 21st century.
Beginning next year, Rosary will be one of only two Catholic high schools in northern Illinois to offer a Robotics class.
Please take a moment to consider the vital role the Rosary
Appeal plays in our success and give thoughtful prayer as to
how you can help us continue our mission through your gift.
Donations can be made using cash, check, or credit card,
as well as by quick and convenient access online at www.
rosaryhs.com/donation. If you have any questions, please
contact Sherry See at 630-896-0831 ext. 13.

Candlelight Ball
Candlelight Ball to Celebrate Past, Launch the Next 50 Years
The Rosary High School 50th Anniversary Candlelight Ball
is quickly approaching. This year’s dinner dance and auction
will be held in the Regency Ballroom of the Hilton Hotel in
Lisle, IL on February 23, 2013. The event begins with
a cocktail hour from 5:30 to 6:30 pm followed
by a sit-down dinner and dancing.
The highlight of the evening
will be our silent and live
auctions, all designed
to help us raise funds to
further the mission of the
Dominican Sisters here at
Rosary.
While this anniversary year
has focused on celebrating the
school’s first half century, the
theme of this year’s Candlelight
Ball is “Launching the Next 50
Years.” With that in mind, we’ve
focused our efforts on bringing technology to bear on the event. Our new
Candlelight Ball website, www.rhscb.
com is up and running. Each month,
items will be featured on the online auction. Congratulations to Kim Caligiuri
who won our first online auction, (2) tickets
to see Grease at the Paramount Theatre in
Aurora. Kim also won the second, and certainly more exciting, auction item, a personalized front row
parking space near the gym entrance, for her daughter, Sara.
Sue Paradis matched Kim’s bid and secured a parking space
for her daughters, Erin and Katelyn as well. Thanks to both
of them for being the first winners in our online auctions. Be
sure to check in for the November auctions…they are fun
for the whole family! Dinner tickets and raffle tickets can be
purchased on the site as well.
Speaking of raffle tickets, this year’s “the i’s Have It” raffle
continues with the technology theme. For $25 each, or 3
for $50, you can secure a
chance to win one of three
prizes: 1st prize is an Apple
iPad with WiFi, 2nd prize
is an Apple Mini iPad with
WiFi, 3rd prize is an Apple
iTouch, 5th Generation.
Purchase your chances
online at www.rhscb.com. Please help us reach our goal of
having every family purchase at least one ticket.
The evening will be chock full of fun. As you arrive, you’ll be presented with a Bidpal device for
placing your silent auction bids throughout the
night. The handheld unit is simple to use and
will allow you to make a single pass around
the room to see what is available for auction.
After that, keep placing your bids electronically while you visit with friends. Bidpal
will let you know what items you are
winning, which ones you’ve been outbid
on and what items have no bid on
them at all. You can learn more about
Bidpal from our website. Just click on
“Learn to Bidpal” at the bottom of
the home page.
Professional charity auctioneer,
Jim Miller, will lead the live auction that night. Jim’s personality and sense of humor will
keep everyone engaged and
laughing throughout the live
auction. To finish the night, we’ll dance
to the sounds of Chef Dan and the Appetizers.
This talented group of musicians returns to the Candlelight Ball again this year. All of the musicians are affiliated
with McDonald’s Corporation in some way and play only
for charitable events. Kelly and Emma Knauf ’s dad, Jim,
plays in the band. You’ll be talking about their music for
days afterwards!
Finally, we’d like to thank all those that have donated
sponsorships to underwrite our event. Your donations help
ensure the profitability of the evening. We are still in need of
donations for our auction as well as event sponsors. We still
have (2) of our highest level sponsorships available. At the
$2,000 level we will feature your business on our website and
provide a link to your company’s site as well.
If you have questions about the Candlelight Ball, you can
contact us via email at [email protected] or call
Linda Fritz at 630-208-8094. Most importantly, buy your
tickets now! The early bird price of $75 each expires on
December 31, 2012. Tickets are $100 after that. Tickets are
selling fast…See you at the Ball!

Rosary BEADs Raise Funds for “Real Swimmers Wear Pink”
The Rosary Beads Swim
Team participated in their
first Real Swimmers Wear
Pink event which raises
money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Freshman Lauryn Streid is
one of the founders of this
charity and was excited to
bring it to the Beads this year.
On October 22, the team held a breaststroke practice to
support the fight against breast cancer. The swimmer who
brought in the most donations won the chance to throw a
pie in the face of Head Coach Bill Schalz. There was a tie and
Bill was kind enough to let both of the girls throw pies at
him. Erin Hart and Annie Gosselin were the lucky winners.
The Beads raised more than $1,000 in donations and t-shirt
sales. The swimmers had a great time while raising money for
an important cause.
Under the Tuscan Sky: Italian Dinner 2012

The theme of this

not a race!) and they
sprinted past their

the donations of our fall sport
athletes who also served as waitresses. Early bird “Lotto”

Bronski who raised
$1117, next was
Courtney Swickert with $500, and Kathryn Leonardi with
$400. Eighteen girls brought in $200 or more in pledges
and nineteen girls $150 or more.
Top homeroom was Sr. Bernie’s room who brought in
$3067. They earned the special breakfast. The top class who
receives the special lunch prize went to the Freshmen who
brought in $12,182 averaging $128 per student. Congrats
to the faculty and students for exceeding our goal and getting our free day on the Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving.
In keeping with the Disney theme, seniors were princesses,
juniors dressed in colors from The Lion King, sophomores in
purple and black for Mulan, and freshmen in the colors of
Finding Nemo.

Our Mission
Rosary High School is a Catholic college preparatory school for young women sponsored by the Dominican Sisters of
Springfield, Illinois. Rooted in the gospel values of Jesus Christ, Rosary High School is committed to the mission of
educating and developing Christian leaders in the Dominican tradition:
16
• encouraging faith development
• developing individual gifts
• seeking truth
• valuing Christian service
• striving for academic excellence and lifelong learning
• fostering responsible members for society
Our Plan for the Future 2012-2017
Three Strategic Objectives
Using data gathered from our planning survey and the input
of focus group participants, our Strategic Planning Blue
Ribbon Cabinet identified three top strategic priorities – our
“three legs of the stool.” These are:
(1) More effectively & pro-actively build
around Rosary’s core values.
This strategic objective focuses on:
More clearly defining and proclaiming the school’s
“value proposition” to a community that may not know
or grasp the incredible impact of Rosary’s mission, or
understand the value of its tuition pricing.
(3) Fund the Mission.
Defining and achieving target enrollment levels.
Maximizing philanthropic giving – for operations, facilities & endowment.
Defining and achieving the appropriate tuition policy.
Implementing appropriate processes for projecting
resource requirements.
Supporting Our Objectives
Examining, refining and advancing an academic pro-
gram consistent with constituent expectations, Dominican charism, etc.
Attracting, retaining and rewarding faculty of quality
consistent with the Rosary mission.
Maintaining a commitment to single-sex education,
and building an all-around program around the benefits
such a commitment brings.
Ensuring that the faculty and students will participate
fully in the spiritual life of the school community.
Ensuring that all students will experience leadership
opportunities.
Ensuring that appropriate space, equipment and technology are available to achieve excellence.
Recruiting, retaining, and celebrating a diverse student
body.
The Rosary Strategic Planning Working Group – comprised
primarily of faculty and staff – worked through the strategic
objectives to identify nine bold goals for the future. Rosary
faculty and staff, with the selective involvement of appropriate board members and other stakeholders with specific expertise, are involved in shaping multiple and specific action
items, benchmarks and timelines for each.
1. Clearly define the profile(s) of the Rosary Woman.
2. Over the next five years, grow the enrollment to
reach – and sustain – 450-475 students.
3. Build an academic program in concert with the
mission and the Rosary Woman. Ensure the allocation of appropriate resources – instructors, materials, technology, equipment.
4. Establish and promote “distinguishing programs”
that highlight Rosary’s singular mission and differentiate itself from the competition in the market.
(2) Market & Promote the Rosary difference.
Nine Goals
Assertively promoting the mission and vision of the
school.
Creating and achieving the school’s desired identity and
“brand” in its targeted markets.
Securing desired enrollment through recruitment and
retention.
Competing assertively for the right students, faculty,
leadership and philanthropic resources.
Creating the desired image through public relations and
marketing.
5. Within the building, establish an environment
and culture consistent with the school mission
and the Rosary Graduate, and with an eye towards
attracting and retaining the right faculty/staff and
students.
6. Effectively market and sell Rosary High School.
7. Reconfigure staff, budgets, job responsibilities and
behaviors to implement the actions of the strategic
plan.
8. Maximize philanthropic support for operating
revenue.
9. Prepare for and raise capital required to fund the
priorities of the strategic plan.

An Invitation
Much of the activity of the strategic plan will
require dramatic energy and significant change
in two key areas:
• Enrollment management
• Fundraising
We depend on the partnership of our parents,
alumnae and friends. Please consider the
difference Rosary has made in your life and
consider partnering with us in the following
ways:
Annual Appeal
Funding our strategic plan will require significantly increased philanthropy – to fund
scholarships, improved technology in our
curriculum and additional staff/programs that
will provide a “Rosary difference.” Please consider a generous gift to Rosary each year.
Spreading the Word
Do you know a family/young woman that is
“right” for Rosary? Promote us! Encourage
them! And reach out to our admissions office
at (630) 896-0831 x12.

How the Alumnae Association
Helps Rosary High School
The Alumnae Association has raised over $50,000 in support of Rosary High School. One of the most visible contributions of the Association is the lighted marquee board
and Veritas shields which are now part of Rosary’s front
sign. Each day the events and successes of Rosary High
School are communicated to the public as they pass-by on
Edgelawn Drive.
The Sr. Mary Joseph Alumnae Scholarship is supported
solely by the fundraising efforts of the Alumnae Association. Each year the daughter of a Rosary graduate is
awarded the scholarship based on her performance on
the school’s entrance exam. The four-year scholarship is
currently valued at $4,000. Donations to the scholarship
fund may be made by contacting the Rosary Development
Office at (630) 896-0831 extension 13.
We are publishing a monthly newsletter for alumnae. If you
would like the link emailed to you every month, please contact [email protected] and put “Send me the email newsletter” in the subject line. Please include your first, maiden
and last name and Rosary graduation year in the email. The
monthly newsletter includes articles that are not included in
the Rosary magazine. Get the information sooner – weddings, births, family deaths and much more…
