Message from the President
The 2011-2012 school year was certainly a momentous one for St. Maria Goretti High School. We saw yet
another class of talented, service-minded, and caring students graduate; we inducted the first class into
our newly formed Athletic Hall of Fame; our Spring fundraiser garnered $60,000 for our financial aid
program, and we received a grant from the Knott Foundation to begin an iPad program at Goretti.
First and foremost, I would like to recognize the extraordinary efforts of our student body over this past
year. These young people continue to make us proud with their dedication not only to their academics but
also to the variety of service projects that they initiate and implement all year long. Their willingness to
seek out organizations in the community where they can offer assistance and support is something that
reinforces what we mean when we say, “Goretti Proud.” Our boys and girls basketball and girls lacrosse
teams spent time this past Spring at Girls, Inc. and the Boys and Girls Club in Hagerstown to run drills,
teach techniques, and mentor the children in the after school programs. Meanwhile, our People for
Animal Welfare Society (P.A.W.S.) held a school-wide collection for pet supplies, blankets, and food, which
was later donated to the Humane Society of Washington County. These are just a few of the projects that
took place this year, and I’m confident they will continue to take place in the years to come, thanks to the
generosity and determination of our students.
As I mentioned earlier, we are grateful to the many members of the Goretti Family and the local
community that helped to make our May 5th Evening at the Races event a success. Thanks to these
individuals, our sponsors, and the Salah Foundation, we were able to raise $60,000 for our financial aid
program. These funds will go a long way in helping make a Goretti education possible for many families.
We hope everyone will come together next May as we once again gather for a fun-filled evening for a
certainly worthy cause.
Lastly, I am truly excited to begin the 2012-2013 school year in my new role as President with Bridget Bartholomew as Principal. The movement to the full implementation of the President/Principal model recognizes that there are two separate and distinct jobs for top administrators in all Catholic high schools today.
The President’s role mainly involves the long-term future and viability of the school while the Principal focuses on the day-to-day operations. Goretti’s Board of Trustees believes strongly that this delineation of
duties is necessary for the long- term growth and development of the school. Mrs. Bartholomew and I officially transitioned to our new roles on July 1st and are both looking forward to the year ahead.
I encourage alums, parents, and all other members of the Goretti Family to come back to campus when
you can just to visit or maybe to join us in cheering on the Gaels as we enter another eventful school year.

Service Projects
Summer 2012 Mission Trip
Thirteen Goretti students traveled to Virginia Beach, Virginia the week of June 10 - 16 for the Catholic Heart
Work Camp mission trip. Catholic Heart Work Camp provides students an opportunity to combine faith and
service. The work camp begins each day with an uplifting message to the students before they go out to homes
and organizations to help those who are unable to do the work themselves.
Sports Workshops with Girls, Inc. and the Boys & Girls Club
Last Spring, members of Goretti’s girls lacrosse team and boys and girls basketball teams conducted workshops
at Girls, Inc. and the Boys & Girls Club of Washington County. The workshops involved an overview of the
fundamentals of lacrosse and basketball, running drills, and playing games. Goretti students also donated
items collected through their Sports Equipment Drive to both organizations. During February, the school
collected over 200 sports items donated by the local community including basketballs, baseballs, sports
apparel, soccer balls, lacrosse equipment, and much more.

STUDENT YEAR IN REVIEW
Expanding the Arts at Goretti
Music Courses
The halls are alive with the sound of music! St. Maria Goretti High School formed a
partnership with the Cumberland Valley School of Music (CVSM) last year to offer
music courses at Goretti. Students delved into music history and the different styles of
music in the three courses that were offered: Introduction to Music, Musical Theater,
and Choir. Students also had the opportunity to observe demonstrations of various
musical instruments and were able to interact with professional musicians. Twice a
month, classes held a “Music in Action” session where specialized, professional
musicians served as guest instructors on a particular style of music. The partnership
will continue for the 2012-2013 school year.
Drama
In musical theater news, CVSM instructor and drama coach Richard Shoap, directed two very successful drama productions with
Goretti’s thespian troupe and drama club this past year. In the Fall,
students performed the comedy, Scapin, and in the Spring, performed the musical, Celebration. Shoap also held an after-school
Improvisation class where students could practice the art of performing ‘on the fly.’
Visual Arts
Goretti’s art instructor, Tom McFarland, continues to help students explore their inner creativity through a variety
of art classes including photography, ceramics, 2-D and 3-D design, and painting, among others. In fact, several of
the students’ self-portraits were displayed at the Contemporary School of the Arts and Gallery, Inc. in downtown
Hagerstown during the month of May. Goretti’s art students also helped French instructor Hilary Elmerraji create a
mural along the walls in her classroom that brings the French landscape and cityscapes to life.

Goretti selects 2012-2013 Inductees for Athletic Hall of Fame
Goretti is excited to announce that the following four individuals have been
selected as the 2012-2013 inductees to the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Fame committee received numerous nominations and selected
the following four recipients because of their role as impact players for their
respective sports during their time at Goretti. They each made exceptional
athletic achievements for their sports, leaving a legacy for future generations
of student athletes.
The Hall of Fame recipients will be officially inducted at the annual MidAtlantic Invitational Tournament (MAIT) hosted by Goretti this November. A
luncheon will be held to honor the Hall of Fame inductees on Saturday,
November 24th, and tickets will be available. Additional information will be
provided at a later date. If you’re interested in attending the luncheon,
please contact Kerri Corderman at 301.739.4266 x139 or [email protected].
2012-2013 Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees
TOM WALSH, Class of 1970
Tom Walsh will be the first Goretti Athletic Hall of Fame member to be recognized for achievements in the sport
of baseball. A pitcher, Tom won championships in the American Little League and the Colt League World Series
in 1967, the first to be brought to Hagerstown. Tom was drafted by the Houston Astros in the 23rd round of the
1970 Major League Baseball draft. Sadly, Tom passed away in February of 2011; however, his impact on baseball at Goretti will be celebrated for years to come.
DAVE RUSSELL, Class of 1971
Dave Russell is one of the most talented basketball players to have played on the court in Goretti’s Gael Center.
After Goretti, he became the all-time leading scorer at Shepherd College where he was also named first AllAmerican basketball player under coach Bob Starkey. Dave was signed by two National Basketball Association
teams and played in Europe, where he lost his life in an automobile accident in 1977.
KRISTEN ARDINGER KARN, Class of 1987
Kristen Ardinger Karn and her parents were instrumental in assisting St. Maria Goretti High School with starting
the swim team her sophomore year. Many of Kristen’s records still stand to this day at Goretti. After high
school, she went on to swim at the Division I level for Syracuse University. This treasured member of the Goretti
Family sadly passed away in 2010.
JENNIFER TSETSILAS HARTMANN, Class of 1991
Jennifer Tsetsilas Hartmann was an instrumental softball player at Goretti from 1989 to 1991. A talented
pitcher, Jennifer also helped develop other pitchers and played a key role in the formation of a successful pitching clinic started by John Snyder. The clinic developed most of Washington County’s high school pitchers for
many years. Jennifer also played volleyball for three seasons and was a member of the swim team. Jennifer received a full scholarship from the University of Mobile and pitched in the National Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics (NAIA) National Championship in 1992 and 1995.

ALUMNI CORNER
“What it Means to Be a Gael”
For many of us, as the years pass, high school can seem like a distant memory. But one thing that I always hear
from numerous Goretti alums is ‘our class was like a family.’ This seems to ring true across the board for classes
from two years ago to 40 years ago. When I started working at Goretti last year, I was truly glad to see that the
family environment here was more alive than ever. Then, as I was reading the February/March issue of Goretti’s
student newspaper, the Gael Beat, I came across a piece entitled, “What it Means to Be a Gael,” written by the
paper’s editor, Laura Winalski, class of 2013. It took me right back to so many fun times at this school and
reaffirmed that the traditions of this very unique place live on. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did.
Go Gaels!

SCHOOL NEWS
May 5th Evening at the Races
It was an evening of smiles, laughter, and all-around Goretti pride as alumni, parents,
and many others from the community gathered for the school’s May 5th Evening at the
Races. The night was a true success, generating $60,000 in total for the school’s
financial aid program as the $30,000 raised during the event was doubled by a 100
percent match from the Salah Foundation. A special thanks to the Master of
Ceremonies (and Goretti parent) Bob Bartholomew, guest auctioneer Lou Scally, and all
of our event volunteers, attendees, sponsors, and donors. We couldn’t have done it
without you!
Waltersdorf Henson Match - Thank You!
In the Fall of 2010, St. Maria Goretti High School successfully reached an incredible milestone, thanks to the
support of the entire Goretti Family and local community. From June 2005 through November 2010, Goretti
raised $255,000 as part of the Waltersdorf-Henson Endowment Challenge. In February 2011, the school
received a one hundred percent match from the John and Peg Waltersdorf and Richard Henson Foundation, for
a total of $510,000 raised through this unique opportunity.
The $510,000 raised through the Waltersdorf-Henson challenge went to the Goretti Fund, which is a separate
and distinct 501(c) (3) corporation, which provides a steady, yearly income stream to Goretti without ever
depleting the corpus. The Goretti Fund is managed through the Community Foundation of Washington County
and, thanks to the Waltersdorf-Henson challenge, is now approaching one million dollars.
We would like to sincerely thank the members of the Goretti Family and community who generously gave to
the endowment challenge. We would also like to thank the volunteers who dedicated their time to help
promote the challenge and reach the goal.
The complete list of Goretti Fund donors is located in the Honor Roll of Donors on page 15 of this publication.

vision of each student at the school having an iPad over the next four years.
The iPad program at St. Maria Goretti High School will enhance the current use
of technology in the classroom as teachers are already using the school’s SMART
boards to provide visual, interactive lessons that help students thoroughly grasp
and take ownership of the subject matter. The purpose of the program is also to
reduce textbook costs for families through the use of e-textbook applications
that are a fraction of the cost of hardbacks. The project will also support the
goals of Goretti’s facilities plan, which is to create a “greener,” more environmentally conscious campus. Through use of the new iPads, more students will be
able to take notes digitally and further reduce the use of paper.
In Memoriam: we keep these members of the Goretti Family in our thoughts and prayers.
