St. Vincent-St. Mary High School Catholic Education It is by the authority of the Bishop of Cleveland that we teach the Catholic Tradition. The ultimate goal of our school is to facilitate the growth of Christ’s Spirit. In witness to this spirit, we minister to one another and to the greater communities of our school, our city, our country, and our world. Mission In the spirit of the Gospel, we are committed to educate the whole person to lead and to serve: enlightening the mind, developing the body, touching the heart, and inspiring the soul. Accreditation Akron’s first institution for Catholic, coeducational secondary education, chartered by the State of Ohio and accredited by the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges since 1950.

Rathz Headmaster Tim Castrigano Chief Financial Officer/Director of Development Once again, St. Vincent-St. Mary High School ended a school year with a long list of outstanding achievements. The Class of 2009 had a total of 97 percent college bound with 96% accepted at their first-choice college. VM09 Seniors received scholarships and grants of more than $8 million. Five more STVM teachers were named Ohio Magazine Outstanding Private School Educators. The awards our students received in the areas of science, math, and the arts were tremendous accomplishments and I anticipate even more success stories this year. As we begin a new school year, I marvel at the enthusiasm of our students. Their eagerness to compete and achieve their team and individual goals is remarkable. What is even more impressive is the fact that St. Vincent-St. Mary students seldom fall short of their goals. These endeavors are of course not possible without the support of family and friends. I look forward to seeing our longtime STVM families and welcoming our new families at the many events throughout the year. As we embark on a new school year, we know our students will continue to make us proud in all they endeavor. Their hard work and dedication inspires our staff, faculty and coaches to make STVM the best it can be – for our current students and for those who will one day follow in their footsteps. Our new Student Activity Center is a tangible example of this commitment to our students. Its construction is the culmination of the efforts of many individuals and the generous support we have received from our most loyal and dedicated donors. It has allowed us to increase the space that is available in our main building for our excellent academic programs. It also allows us to better accommodate virtually all of our students who are involved in at least one sport, while helping to unify and beautify our campus. Thank you to everyone who was involved with making this wonderful facility a reality. Just as we encourage our students to set new goals and reach for the stars, we must continue the tradition of excellence that is synonymous with St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. I hope you will join me in making STVM the very best in Catholic, college preparatory education. Sincerely, David V. Rathz Go Irish! Sincerely, Tim Castrigano Boys Golf Team Seniors Andy Jalwan Athletic Director Dear STVM Community: Thank you for your support of the Irish athletic program. The tradition of athletic excellence at St. Vincent-St. Mary would not be possible without the consistent backing of our coaches, parents, faculty, alumni, and booster members. The dedication of the entire STVM community provides our student-athletes with the opportunity to wear the green and gold proudly and victoriously on the playing field. The sense of pride, tradition, and community is infectious at our school. With your support, St. Vincent-St. Mary High School makes available the opportunity for every student to participate while promoting good sportsmanship, integrity, and performance that is consistent with our mission and the Catholic education maintained in our classrooms. The entire athletic department is very excited about the upcoming fall sports season. I hope to see you at all our contests. Go Irish!

Our guests will also have an opportunity to tour the new facility and witness the unveiling of the center’s name. The completion of our Student Activity Center is significant for several reasons. First, it represents the fifth and final phase of our five-year, $20 million Share the Vision Capital Campaign. The construction of this facility is a culmination of the efforts of many individuals and the generous support we have received from our most loyal and dedicated donors. Second, it represents the first expansion of our building since St. Vincent-St. Mary High School was founded in 1972. At that time, St. Mary and St. Vincent High Schools, two of the oldest parish high schools in Akron, merged together, as directed by the Diocese of Cleveland, to form St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. Today, we remain unified in our commitment to Catholic education. Third, it will enable us to meet the school’s strategic goals, as set forth by our Executive Board, for growing our student body, maintaining the highest educational standards and improving our facilities. By providing much-needed space, it will ensure that we are able to increase our enrollment and remain financially viable, while benefiting each and every student who attends St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. security after-hours by allowing us to secure the existing building and keep only the new gymnasium open for games and other activities. From Vision to Reality As we look back on our Share the Vision Capital Campaign, we have much to celebrate. In addition to the completion of our Student Activity Center, we have: • Grown our endowment to $6.7 million as of December 31, 2008 • Completed a state-of-the-art Center for Science and Technology and partnership with The University of Akron • Renovated Green Street Stadium and dedicated it as the John Cistone Field/Green Street Stadium • Protected our investment in our current facility by making improvements to the heating and cooling systems, roof and kitchen, Student Center, and adding new lockers Thank you to all who have shared this vision for our future. Your support has enabled us to complete our capital campaign, while remaining independent and self-sufficient. Naming opportunities are still available. Contact Joanne Zaratsian, Director of Major Gifts, for more information at 330-253-9113 x112 Highlights of our Student Activity Center Our new Student Activity Center features: • A second gymnasium with athletic offices on the upper level • New wrestling room, locker rooms, cheer room and fitness center room on the lower level • Parking • Landscaping By moving the wrestling room and athletic offices to this new facility, we have increased the space that is available in our main building for our academic programs. Having a second gym enables us to better accommodate virtually all of our students who are involved in at least one sport. Previously this influx of activity made it difficult for our teams to get adequate practice time and valuable team-building experience. We are now able to also host more Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) events and summer camps. Because the facility is located between the school and the football field, it helps to better unify our campus. It also enhances Student activity center being readied for september grand opening Green & Gold Annual Appeal Invest in the Future of STVM the support of our family & friends is needed Dear Alumni and Friends, As a member of our community, you understand the value of the education and environment that St. Vincent-St. Mary High School provides to its students. Like all independent schools and colleges, our tuition never fully covers our operating expenses. In fact, the cost to educate each child exceeds the cost of tuition by 15%, assuming that every child pays full tuition. When we factor in the amount of financial aid and scholarships, we are only charging 75% of the actual cost to educate each student. We also know that we must remain affordable for the families we are called to serve, while sustaining our traditions of academic excellence. Our Green & Gold Annual Appeal is more than a yearly fundraiser. It is our lifeblood. Because we must rely on donations for every additional penny needed to educate our students, the monies raised through the Green & Gold Annual Appeal are critical for the day-to-day operations of our school. These funds are put to work right away for our general operating budget, tuition assistance and scholarships (unlike our recently concluded Share the Vision Capital Campaign which funded capital needs like bricks and mortar and supported our endowment). Every gift to our Green & Gold Annual Appeal, no matter how large or small, is important. Your support will help ensure we continue to provide the highest quality curriculum, hire outstanding teachers and attract the best and brightest students. You will also be making a worthy investment in the future of our school and in the future of our children. May God bless you and your family, Tim Castrigano Chief Financial Officer & Director of Development Every gift counts! Please consider making a modest donation of just $1 for every year since graduation. Your support is vital to the success of our school. You’ll also help ensure that your class has 100% participation in the Green & Gold Annual Appeal. Calling Class Captains We’re looking for volunteers from each graduating class to serve as Class Captains to help update our database, and ensure 100% class participation in the Green & Gold Annual Appeal. If you are interested or would like more information, please call Tim Castrigano at 330-253-9113 x142. Donors who make an Annual Appeal gift during the Fall of 2009 will not be contacted again during our fiscal year 2009-2010. Shamrock Society Gifts of $1,000 or more will qualify you for membership in the Shamrock Society, a giving level and distinguished group of some of our most dedicated donors and supporters. The members of Shamrock Society receive a gold key good for admittance to all home athletic, theater events and band performances.

Love, Mom, Dad, Jessica & Jason Love Mom, Dad, Vince, Jaclyn and Jared St. Vincent-St. Mary High School Inspiring the Soul Coach Boarman Gives Thanks Once again, this year, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the St. Vincent-St. Mary community for the wonderful support that I have received. I am humbled by your dedication and display of loyalty and I am so pleased to have come full circle in my life by returning to my roots— St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. The “fire” of the Fighting Irish is very much alive, and I am so grateful to be a part of that excitement. The feeling of tradition and pride is palpable, and it is truly a special time in my life to be a member of the Fighting Irish. St. Vincent-St. Mary is a unique institution, so integral to the history of Northeastern Ohio. No high school in the area can match it in any regard. It is a school which has produced winners, not only on the athletic field and in academics, but also in life. Throughout our journey together, I believe that it is important to revive some of the traditions of the past. Therefore, following each game, we will walk together as a team to the shrine of the Blessed Mother, to pray together and give thanks. In doing so, we will be reminded of our faith, and how it helps us come together as a school family. I hope that everyone in the St. Vincent-St. Mary community will join us in prayer after each and every home game. Working together, we will achieve success. Dan Boarman V70 St. Vincent-St. Mary Head Football Coach Ken McDonald Campus Minister In his own words, Mr. McDonald says: “God has blessed each and every one of us so tremendously in giving us the physicality of our being and the athletic talents we share. That which we do with these talents – be it on the football field, the soccer field, the cross country course, basketball court, bowling alley, the sidelines cheering, the wrestling mat, baseball or softball diamond or in track and field – is our gift to God. I am just here to help remind our students where their true strength comes from and to help them strengthen their relationship with God.” No matter what the season, the St. Vincent-St. Mary faith community continually strives for peace, justice, sportsmanship and the creation of God’s Kingdom. Dear Mary, Mother of God and patroness of the St. Vincent-St. Mary Community, give us the desire to grow in God’s grace and love. Continue to shower us with compassion and humility so that we may be a reflection of you. Kindly enlighten our students with wisdom and guide us in the discernment of our vocations. Holy Mary, Blessed Mother, shed light on the paths we walk and brighten our journey into the future. Help us recognize the constant presence of your loving Son Jesus and inspire us with faith to turn to Him in our hour of need. Amen. ~Anna Wilson VM07 There’s always something new in the STVM Book Store Good Luck JORDAN CHALFANT We’re so proud of you! Have a great Senior Year!

St. Vincent High School: The 1949 St. Vincent High School football team posted a shining 5-2-1 record for one of the better season records in the city.

Cabe, Coach Chris Miloscia, Coach Bob Shell Dan Lancianese Head Coach Schedule Coach Dan Lancianese enters his 15th season as the Head Coach of the Irish Cross Country teams. Coach Lancianese commented, “Last year, the Lady Irish Team was the 1st in school history to qualify to the State Finals. They finished in a respectable 7th place in the State. All of these runners are back for the 2009 quest with the goal to improve upon this standing. The Boys Irish Team just missed qualifying by 2 points. They too have set their goal on a state birth. The 2009 team has 25 girls and 23 boys on the roster. Together with Coach Chris Miloscia, it is our goal, through the Grace of God, to achieve the top of the mountain and earn a chance at a state title.” Coach Lancianese has 28 years coaching experience and his current dual meet record is: Boys 154-49; Girls 142-66 with 28 straight wins. Coach Lancianese lives in Akron with his wife Rita VM81, a STVM art teacher and children: Angela VM99, Anthony VM00 and Dominic future class of VM20. 8/1 10th ANNUAL MATT KAUFMAN 5k MEMORIAL OPEN RUN Goodyear 8/22Malone Preseason Relays Malone 8/26 Hoban Invitational Goodyear 8/29GlenOak Invitational Glenoak 9/5 Toledo InvitationalOttawa Park 9/12 Tiffin Invite (B&G) Tiffin 9/15Firestone, BarbertonGoodyear 9/19Boardman Invite (B&G) Boardman 9/24Massilon, Ellett (B&G) Goodyear 9/26All Catholic Invite (B&G)Dayton 10/3Midwest Invite (B&G) Columbus, Oh 10/10 Legends of CC Invite (B&G) Trumbell 10/24DISTRICTS GOODYEAR 10/31REGIONALS BOARDMAN 11/7 STATE COLUMBUS St. Vincent-St. Mary High School Varsity Cheerleaders Front row (l-r): G.

She won numerous dance medals and qualified for Worlds several times as a student of the Tim O’Hare School of Irish Dance. She traveled to Belfast and Killarney to compete in World Irish Dance Championships. Megan graduated from St. Vincent-St. Mary in 2006 and is currently in her senior year at The University of Akron. Having coached the Irish Dance Team last year, she is looking forward to working with the girls again this year. “I am proud to coach these girls who have worked so hard. It is difficult to learn the intricate footwork and the timing involved to perform the Irish dance steps, and they have done a great job. I would also like to recognize and thank our Advisor, Mrs. Teresa Rickus, who was instrumental in initiating the Irish Dance Program. She has been an inspiration, and we are grateful for her efforts. We also appreciate the music Mr. Campbell and the Marching Band provide for the performances.” Go! Fight! Win!
