Dear Alumnae, Parents, and Friends,
A few years ago when we were planning Carrollton’s 50th Anniversary, we
decided that the Jubilee would be best celebrated over three years. During Year
I, we told the remarkable story of how Carrollton came to be. The following
year we feted our alumnae. Year III marks the 50th anniversary of Carrollton’s
first graduating class, the Class of 1964. We honor these women and their
legacy as we look to Carrollton’s future.
Let us pause to consider the timelessness of Sacred Heart education. The
values instilled in the first graduates are essentially those we hope to nurture
in this generation of Carrollton students. Sacred Heart education intends to
ensure that students develop lively, informed faith, intellectual competency,
strong decision making and active compassion. St. Madeleine Sophie Barat
considered such a thorough formation and education to be essential if women
were to work effectively for the renewal of our world. This international
dimension of Sacred Heart education has become increasingly important in
the face of globalization.
As we gather for Celebrate 2014, we offer you our Anniversary Weekend
Program Booklet with a view to share with you some insights about Sacred
Heart education’s focus on the formation of global citizens. Please read
through it carefully and pay close attention to the names of our sponsors,
benefactors and supporting participants without whom Celebrate 2014 could
not be successful. We owe a special thank you to Catherine Anne and Patrick
Markert, our Chairs for Friday’s Evening under the Stars. Their generosity and
leadership inspired our extraordinary volunteers whose imagination created
an extraordinary event. The Alumnae Council and Alumnae Director, Maria
Cristina Garcia ’00 designed a wonderful evening for our alumnae, our reunion
classes and our special guests, members of the Class of 1964. Sunday’s Family
Carnival once again will see the gathering of Carrollton’s extended family in
a magnificent and joy filled day thanks to the leadership of Jeanne Oliva and
Jeannie Oliva-Suarez and their dedicated team of booth, tickets and t-shirts
Chairs. Thank you all.
May our continued Jubilee celebration inspire hope within every member
of our community and thereby strengthen Carrollton as a School of Christ’s
Heart. May this hope inspire this and future generations of Carrollton to
embrace the vision of St. Madeleine Sophie Barat and the values of
Sacred Heart education. May God bless each and every
y one.

The Board of Trustees
Global Citizen
Every Student a
…
a Critical Thinker ….a Compassionate Actor
Whether we look back on the 60’s or imagine the
future, a common thread to living is uncertainty and
change. St. Madeleine Sophie Barat knew the truth of
this statement. Having visualized a possible system of
education for girls in France, she was immediately
challenged to expand her vision to include Italy, Belgium,
Switzerland, Germany, and by 1818 the Americas and
eventually Africa. She longed to see schools in Asia.
Drawing from our history we know that if students
are to manage uncertainty and change, if they are to be
effective global citizens, if they are to handle complexity,
they must work regularly with increasingly difficult texts
and ideas. Carrollton students are encouraged to
develop flexibility of thinking and certain intellectual
traits such as integrity, humility, virtue, perseverance,
and fair-mindedness.
How do we ensure such flexibility of thinking? We
root our work in the Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart
education. The program begins with Montessori, continues with engaging, challenging curricular programs that
are developmentally appropriate and culminates in the
International Baccalaureate Diploma program.
Why begin with Montessori and end with IB? From
the very beginning of their lives at Carrollton through
graduation, students are given the tools and internal
resources to make wellthought-out, mature decisions
and to take an active place in an increasingly complex
world. Maria Montessori believed that children possess
an innate desire to explore, discover and learn about their
world. She also believed that each child is absolutely
unique. St. Madeleine Sophie Barat concurred. Both
Montessori philosophy and Sophie’s vision support the
Sacred Heart Goals and Criteria. The mission of Carrollton’s
pre-school program is to foster creativity, independent
thinking, problem solving ability and a vigorous sense
of self-worth. Children are able to progress at their own
level while working and learning in a nurturing class
setting. From this foundation, Carrollton students can
more effectively engage in Sacred Heart education as a
transformative experience, intended to prepare them
intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, socially and
personally to successfully face the challenges of adulthood.
Global Citizenship requires intercultural understanding
and respect. At its heart, the International Baccalaureate
Program compliments Sacred Heart education because
in its essence, the IB is motivated by a desire to create
a better world through education. Both Sacred Heart
education (Goals and Criteria) and the IB program (IB
Mission & Learner Profile) strive to form global citizens
who are open-minded inquirers, knowledgeable
thinkers, principled communicators, caring risk-takers,
and balanced, reflective persons. Such graduates offer
hope as they have become thoughtful, compassionate
decision makers.

Design Thinkers – Carrollton Prepares 21st
Century Problem Solvers Through Engineering
“Design thinking focuses on a
process long familiar to students
and teachers in schools of art
and architecture: the posing of a
problem, perhaps elegantly framed
but more likely ill-structured or
open-ended — and with some
constraints. Working within the
constraints, problem solvers work
through possible solutions and
create workable models for
critique, testing, retesting, and
redesigning until a breakthrough
is achieved. Design thinking is
Primary Students at Computer Lab
above all an iterative process, with
constant improvement — experimenting with and then scrapping Plan A and moving onto Plan B — as a central tenet. When
kids see that failure is giving them important information, they don’t give up — they incorporate the information.” NAIS
Sacred Heart educators have always been professional
nurturers of thought. From the earliest days, Sacred Heart
educators, inspired by St. Madeleine Sophie’s vision,
encouraged our students to develop an assertive, questioning attitude toward learning while we helped them
enhance the qualities of nurturing and caring. As early as
1815, Sacred Heart educators believed that curriculum
must be chosen with a view to allow true instruction,
in the etymological sense of the word: in-struere, that
which aims not at accumulating knowledge, but at
constructing solid foundation in the mind, that is to
say, serious intellectual habits, steady and coherent
personal thought. Wanting to ensure the vitality
of an education that focuses on engendering in students
informed, active faith, critical thinking necessitates
on-going re-assessment of curricular and extracurricular programs.
Today Carrollton draws upon many resources as our
educators design and develop programs. Among these
are the National Association of Independent Schools
Commission on Accreditation. After extensive research,
discussion and planning about Schools for the Future, this
commission developed the Essential Capacities for the
21st Century Schools of the Future. The capacities….
r Analytical and Creative Thinking and Problem-Solving
r Complex Communication — Oral and Written
r Leadership and Teamwork
r Digital and Quantitative Literacy
r Global Perspective
r Adaptability, Initiative, and Risk-Taking
r Integrity and Ethical Decision-Making
…. all point to the same objectives outlined in the
Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart Education.
Forming master thinkers who are confident, courageous, compassionate women has been an objective of
Sacred Heart Educators for more than 200 years. What has
changed over the centuries has been the means we utilize
to ensure those objectives. Essential to such an education
are the resources, classes, activities and curriculum that
represent our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering,
Art and Mathematics) program.
Intermediate Students in Science Lab
Why create STEAM programs? Research has shown
that girls are attracted to science when they see how its
relevance is making a real difference in improving the
world. Math is a deciding factor in the identity and lives of
girls. Girls love to work together on teams solving problems.
Design attracts them; engineering is a natural for girls.
At Carrollton our STEAM programs begin with the

curriculum for each grade. Technology is used as a means
to weave together the skills and concepts each academic
discipline offers the students. Design and engineering
classes allow the students to create solutions to problems,
from securing clean water to devising an effective insulin
delivery system for needle adverse children to solar and
wind powered mechanisms, as sources of energy at school.
We draw upon curriculum that has been developed at MIT,
the Boston Science Museum, Project Leads the Way.
Junior High First Lego League Champion Team
STEAM concepts are applied by our students in designing,
building and driving robots. The younger students work
within the First Lego League. MT Valle ’79, Director of
Technology Innovation Montessori – Grade 6 has developed both the curricular and extracurricular programs for
our Montessori, Primary and Intermediate students.
Coach Valle sees engineering as an ideal means to help
young people grasp the skills so necessary to be effusive
adults. She spent her first career at IBM and Exxon, “At
IBM, I had to meet with clients and learn their business
to know how to help them improve business practices,
streamline their processes and help improve productivity.
While our computers and software supported these businesses, genuine improvement to business productivity and
improvements to the bottom line came only through careful
analysis. As a child, working with my father, I developed
some of those skills. Now I see the students using their
creativity, imagination and problem solving skills to design
solutions to the challenges they are given either in class or
through First Lego competition. It is very exciting!”
Coach Valle has discovered that children are more and
more ready to engage in engineering and design activities.
For example, she has taught 2nd and 3rd graders Scratch,
a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT
Media Lab that allows students to program their own inter10 ❧ Celebrate 2014 Commemorative Program
active stories, games, and animations — and share these
creations with others in the online community. Scratch
helps young people learn to think creatively, reason
systematically, and work collaboratively — essential
skills for life in the 21st century.
For the students who want to pursue engineering after
school, Coach Valle coaches our First Lego League Teams
for Grades 4-8. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition
of Science and Technology), is a program for students to
get them interested in science, technology, and engineering created by Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway
PT. Carrollton participated in the High School program
of FIRST from 1999-2012. In 1998, Mr. Kamen and the
LEGO Group’s Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen joined forces to
create FIRST LEGO League (FLL). First Lego League
suits Carrollton students well. With over 20,000+ teams
in over 70 countries, FLL is an international competition
organized by students in grades 4-8. Carrollton is proud
to be a participant in the FIRST Lego League, reinforcing
the school’s commitment to science, technology and
engineering curriculum.
We value First Lego League because it is a total
program that involves dealing with a real life problem or
challenge. Students work within teams as they explore
potential solutions to the challenge with which they are
grappling. The process include problem identification,
understanding through research of current inventions,
addressing the problem and designing a new strategy to
address the issue by using something already in use in a
different way or inventing something new. Coach Valle
explains that “every team has five minutes to be creative
and summarize what they have learned and invented,
justifying their research and design. Keep in mind the
students have also met the challenge of design, programing
and building the mechanics of their robot as well as
operating the robot through a course under time
constraints within a competition.” Over the last few years
Carrollton teams have met with great success.
With such a strong foundation achieved in Montessori,
Primary and Intermediate, Carrollton students can take
advantage of both the curricular and extra-curricular
programs at the Junior High and High School. The Junior
High STEAM program is enhanced by our involvement
with Project Lead The Way (PLTW), the leading provider
of rigorous and innovative STEAM education curricular
programs in schools across the U.S. PLTW’s comprehensive curriculum for engineering and biomedical sciences
has been collaboratively designed by PLTW teachers,
“I love watching the Carrollton girls excel and spread their joy and talents with others. I like robotics
and engineering because I enjoy solving problems so you can improve something or create something new.

I love solving business problems!

university educators, engineering and biomedical
professionals and school administrators to promote
critical thinking, creativity, innovation and real-world
problem solving skills in students. VEX, an intuitive,
toolless robotics platform designed for young learners
to snap robots together, exposes our students to a form
of CAD. Under the guidance of our STEAM Coordinator,
Ms. Susy Chu, the Junior High students are able to
design robots with the VEX platform. The students are
delighted with the 3-D Printer which has been added
to the JH engineering classes. The After School VEX
Teams compete locally and within the state.
The High School has enjoyed a strong robotics
program since 1998 under the leadership of Mr. Alan
Crockwell. Recognizing the essential role engineering
plays in our lives and will play in the future, we want
to ensure that each High School student has the chance
to explore design and engineering. To that end we have
established an open engineering/design studio headed by
Coach Matt Jansen, Director of Technology Innovation
Grades 9-12. Equipped with a 3-D printer, students are
able to drop in and discuss their ideas for design and
explore ways these ideas might be implemented.
Computer Science electives are added in response to the
students interests. This year Carrollton students, Anna
Maasland ’14 and Kiki Dowell ’14, have been interning
at the University of Miami during the Fall semester,
learning how to work with the NAO Robot.
The success of STEAM programs at girls schools
has been proven across the country. STEAM curriculum
enhances connections for students across disciplines,
allowing for greater understanding and retention of
knowledge. We are preparing our students to enter a
post-industrial society in which knowledge and ideas –
and particularly the ability to work with them in innovative ways, are a driving force in our economy and affect
all aspects of our daily lives. Research has shown that
to be successful in the Knowledge Age requires students
to learn integrated and usable knowledge; develop the
ability to work creatively with ideas to generate new
theories, products, and knowledge; learn the skills to
communicate and participate in discourse; and develop
the capacity for lifelong learning. Research has shown
that at the start of college, girls’ school graduates rate
their confidence in their abilities in math and in computer
skills more than 10 percent higher than do their coed
counterparts, and they are three times more likely than
women graduates of coed schools to consider pursuing a
career in engineering. Additionally, 13 percent intend to
major in math or science — significantly more than their
counterparts from coed schools (2 percent for females).

Schools Survey, respectively)
Carrollton educates young women to assume leadership and to take initiative in the school and in the world.
The School promotes the hope, zeal, compassion and
commitment necessary to meet the challenges of a complex
society. The entire educational program has as its end the
formation of balanced and self-assured women who
possess the courage and confidence to respond generously,
competently, and responsibly to the demands of their lives
and to the needs of the world.

“Your example, even more than your words,
will be an eloquent lesson to the world.”
— St. Madeleine Sophie Barat
In post-revolutionary France, St. Madeleine Sophie Barat confronted human suffering caused by war
and turbulence with hope. Her vision of education was rooted in her conviction that God remains at
the center of life and only asks that we be attentive to the Holy Spirit dwelling within our hearts.
Almost immediately her vision captured the imagination of others and St. Madeleine Sophie found
herself opening schools throughout Europe, Africa and the Americas. Vision coupled with faith in
God and desire to communicate God’s love has borne fruit in the Schools of the Sacred Heart
throughout the world. Inspired by God’s Spirit, Sacred Heart graduates are Women of Hope, Global
Citizens who act on behalf of others.
We at Morrison, Brown, Argiz & Farra congratulate Carrollton in its unwavering commitment to
educate to St. Madeleine’s Sophie’s vision with integrity and love as they form successive generations
of strong, confident women of faith, discernment, service and leadership.

The
Mission
of Sacred Heart
Carrollton
“We must remember that each one of our children is destined for a mission in life. Neither we nor they can know
what it is, but we must know and make them believe that each one has a mission in life and that she is bound to
find out what it is, that there is some special work for God which will remain undone unless she does it, some place
in life which no one else can fill… We must bring home to our children and to ourselves also, the responsibilities
for our gifts. We must put our talents at interest, and not bury them in the earth, and the reason is sufficient,
that they are God’s.”
— Sr. Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ
Our Jubilee marks a significant historic moment
in Celebrate 2014 as we honor Carrollton’s first
graduates, the Class of 1964, and our students of
today. Considering the dramatic changes in our city
and our world during these last 50 years, what values
did Carrollton engender in these early graduates
that are common to those we hope to nurture in
today’s students?
Our starting point as a School of the Sacred Heart
remains constant; it is rooted in the vision of
St Madeleine Sophie Barat. Sacred Heart education
intends to ensure that students develop lively, informed faith, intellectual competency, strong decision
making and compassionate action. St. Madeleine
Sophie considered such a thorough formation and
education to be essential if women were to work
effectively for the renewal of our world.
In 1964, as Carrollton sent its first graduates off,
our world was torn apart by the tensions of racial
decimation, presidential assassination, the escalation
of the Vietnam War and the tragedy emerging in
Cuba. Counter point to such deep rooted strife were
the stirrings of change emerging from the Second
Vatican Council and the echoes of Martin Luther
King’s I Have a Dream speech. Members of
Carrollton’s Class of 1964 assumed their roles first as
undergraduates and then as active members of their
communities engaged in building communion within
their families, their local and national communities.
Today a grateful Carrollton community honors
our first graduates. We thank them for taking up their
mission as Women of the Sacred Heart with integrity,
honor and dignity. In their service they have sown
seeds of hope, thus fulfilling St. Madeleine Sophie
Barat’s vision.
Mother Stuart’s words continue to challenge
Sacred Heart Educators today. We consider daily the
possible dynamics of the world which Carrollton’s
students will one day occupy as citizens. Indeed,
every time one of us walks into a classroom or
addresses the students at an assembly, we touch the
future. We wonder what might be the skills and attitudes which will best equip our students to greet their
future with the courage and confidence of those who
have gone before. We know that the Third Graders
will be 25 in 2030, 50 in 2055 and 100 in 2105. We
asks ourselves, What will their worlds be like? What
might they need to know? What values will form the
strongest foundation for each of them to navigate the
future with hope and integrity?
Today, more than ever before, the global is part
of our everyday local lives. We are linked to others on
every continent - socially through the media
and telecommunications, culturally through
movements of people, economically through trade,
environmentally through sharing one planet and
politically through international relations and systems
of regulation.
Inspired by the vision of St. Madeleine Sophie
Barat and demands of the Goals and Criteria of
Sacred Heart education, we know we are responsible
to form global citizens. How do we educate today?
Education is
1964-2014
Timeless
Carrollton’s
graduating class
of 1964
Drawing upon the legacy of more than 200 years
of Sacred Heart education, we focus on ensuring
our students develop the compassion St. Madeleine
Sophie envisioned in Sacred Heart graduates simultaneously with global competency. Carrollton students
are multi-linguists whose ability to speak, understand
and think in multiple languages enables them to develop positive dispositions towards cultural
differences. The entire program supports graduates
having knowledge of world geography, conditions,
and issues; awareness of the complexity and interdependency of such issues and events; understanding
of historical forces that have shaped the current world
system; knowledge of their own culture and history
as well as knowledge of effective communication;
and an understanding of the diversity of values,
beliefs, ideas, and world views.
In addition to these areas of knowledge, we draw
upon the Goals and Criteria as we work to form
attitudes within the students such as openness to
learning, an active orientation to new opportunities,
ideas, and ways of thinking as well as tolerance for
ambiguity and unfamiliarity. We hope Carrollton
students not only develop sensitivity and respect for
personal and cultural differences, but also the ability
to value multiple points of view. In addition to
mastering the technical skills to enhance their learning about the world, Carrollton students must develop
the critical and comparative thinking, including the
ability to think creatively and integrate knowledge,
rather than accepting knowledge in a non-critical way.
We pray that such competencies, knowledge
and skills coupled with informed lively faith will ensure the Carrollton graduates of today and tomorrow
will draw courage from those who have gone before
them and the Spirit who dwells in all their hearts and
thus navigate their futures with courage, confidence
and compassion.
Southern Wine & Spirits of South Florida
is proud to support Carrollton
in its mission to educate young women
of courage and confidence.
We are proud to support
in its continued mission of providing young women
with a spiritual and academic foundation
that will enable them
to make a difference in the world.

Globalization
Carrollton Meets the Challenge of
…
Language Immersion and Student Exchange
Today, more than ever before, the global is
part of our everyday local lives. We are linked
to others on every continent. In our multicultural world, globalization redefines citizenship.
The boundaries between domestic and foreign
policy issues are increasingly fluid and more
complex. Globalization challenges our mission in
new ways as we continue to prepare and inspire
students to be active, informed, and responsible
citizens locally, nationally, and globally.
More and more we find ourselves discussing
the essential factors defining global competency
as we design and implement curricular programs.
Fernando M. Reimers, the Ford Foundation Professor of International Education at the Harvard
Graduate School of Education defines global
competency as… “…the knowledge and skills …
…that help people understand the flat world in
which they live, the skills to integrate across
disciplinary domains to comprehend global
affairs and events and to create possibilities to
address them.
Global competencies are also the attitudinal
and ethical dispositions that make it possible to interact peacefully, respectfully,
and productively with fellow human
beings from diverse geographies.”
How does one develop a
positive disposition towards
cultural differences? We
believe such sensitivity
begins with understanding
languages as windows into
a people’s culture. “World
language skills are analogous
to stereoscopic vision to the
global mind.” (Reimers). Facility
in speaking, reading and writing
in multiple languages helps students
develop the essential positive disposition
towards cultures and appreciation for each
culture’s unique values.
Developing the genuine ease and facility of
thinking in more than one language necessitates excellent world language programs and strong exchange
programs. The World Languages Program at
Carrollton includes French, Mandarin and Spanish.
The focus of all language study is to promote an understanding of our global interdependency. Carrollton
graduates are able to understand and express ideas in
two or more languages. Throughout the program all
students learn to communicate clearly to diverse
audiences. They develop the skills to listen attentively,
speak effectively, and write clearly and concisely for
a variety of audiences. All of this hard work comes
alive when Carrollton students engage in student
exchange programs.
Student exchange programs from our international
network of schools, whether during the summer or
the school year, foster a sense of global interaction.
Last year Carrollton began the practice of sending 8th
grade language students to the countries where the
language of study is spoken. The Spanish students
went to Puerto Rico where they spent the day at El
Colegio del Sagrado Corazón in Ponce. The French
students studied at our school in Montreal
during their visit to French speaking
Canada. This year’s 8th graders
are going to Spain, France and
Taiwan. The Spanish students
ideally will visit both Sacred
Heart schools in Madrid while
the French students will visit
those places so dear to St.
Madeleine Sophie Barat in
Paris. The school community in Taiwan is thrilled to
welcome our 8th graders. In
addition to attending classes,
our students will go on a special
field trip with our Taiwanese 8th and
11th graders.
The Taiwan trip will be a homecoming
for AnaSofia Amayo ’18 because

...Language Immersion and Student Exchange
this past fall she spent one month studying at the
Sacred Heart School for Girls in New Taipei
City, Taiwan. AnaSofia began studying Mandarin Chinese at Carrollton in Kindergarten. Her mother is
originally from Mexico and primarily speaks Spanish at home. Ms. Guerrero wanted to expose
her daughter to another language. Over the years
she says that AnaSofia had developed a love of the
Chinese language, culture and history. When AnaSofia heard about the exchange program last
year, she immediately told her mom that she wanted
to participate and together with Mrs. Chang they
began planning the trip. Margarita Guerrero accompanied her daughter to Taiwan two weeks earlier and
says from the start it has been a wonderful experience. It was not easy letting her little girl spend one month
far from home, but Ms. Guerrero says she was
reassured at every turn by the level of communication,
care and concern. AnaSofia Amayo and classmates in the Mary Procession at the
Sacred Heart School in Taipei
“It has exceeded my expectations on so many
levels – from the planning on Carrollton’s side to the
reception in Taiwan – everyone embraced AnaSofia and made her feel so loved from the moment we
arrived,” said Ms. Guerrero with a smile. “AnaSofia had the time of her life.”
This type of exchange is one Carrollton intends
to sponsor as we move forward because our
students’ already strong language skills will get a
Continued from page 35
big boost from such one-month immersion
opportunities.
“Having an opportunity to study and hear from native speakers is invaluable,” said Mrs. Chang, one
of Carrollton’s five Mandarin teachers. “Chinese is a
tonal language and the younger you are, the easier it is
to differentiate those tones. The fact that AnaSofia is
able to have this experience at such a young age will
help her tremendously to hear those slight variations, as
well as improve her vocabulary.” Mrs. Chang’s dream
that AnaSofia’s visit would be the first of many visits
between the two schools will come true this fall when a
junior from the Sacred Heart School in Taiwan arrives
early next year on exchange. Despite differences in language, cultures and
geography the shared vision of St. Madeleine Sophie
Barat, articulated by the Sacred Heart Goals and
Criteria, creates a special connection among the more
than 140 Sacred Heart schools worldwide.
Participation in international conferences also
provides students with tangible experiences as global
citizens. This past summer both Rachel Blanco ’14
and Sloane Rice ’14 attended international conferences
sponsored by the International Baccalaureate
Organization. These conferences focus on different
topics and themes. Students stayed in residential halls
at the host universities and were placed in international
study groups. The daily schedule was packed with
lectures offered by university professors, researchers,
CEO’s, and experts in the fields being studied. Students
met daily in the “Global Lounge” for the express
purpose of expanding their international relationships.
Rachael’s program focused on the Arts. The
conference was held at the University of Warwick and
included people from all over the world. Rachel sees
… “exchanging culture through personal experience
as being transformative and invaluable. Africa now is
a reality to me.” Rachel also valued the experience of
real life that can only come from navigating London’s
mass transit system, the Tube, on crutches. None of
this discomfort mattered because the excitement and
pull of entering into the conference gave Rachel the
gift of friendships with people from all over the world,
friends from Canada, Kenya, Singapore, Chile and
England she intends to keep. Sloane spoke with the
same enthusiasm about her international friends.
“World language skills are analogous to stereoscopic
vision to the global mind.”
Fernando M. Reimers
Sloane Rice ’14 attends IB conference in Hong Kong
In Sloane’s case, the conference’s theme revolved
around Communications and Social Media. Held in
Hong Kong, Sloane was one of 12 students from the
USA. Participants explored questions regarding communication processes in light of their use of technology.
Given the IB philosophy that education is a means to
transform society, participants were challenged by the
question, “What is this generation’s unique responsibility
as communicators and decisions makers?” Sloane
explained that being seen as a “ social transformer”
made her realize more deeply the call of her Sacred
Heart education and the vision of St. Madeleine
Sophie Barat.
Studying languages in technologically rich environments, going on exchange programs and developing
friendships with members of the International Sacred
Heart Family help students demonstrate flexibility and
respect when working with people from other cultural/
national backgrounds. Such experiences form effective
global citizens because over time, through reflection,
students begin to translate knowledge and experience
of one culture to learn about another. The fruit of these
exchanges is developing the understanding of the
similarities and differences among human
beings and their cultures. So whether on the practical
level of living as a global citizens, filling out
one’s passport and visa applications, converting
currency, understanding time changes, or on the
deeper level of coming to see the values of other
peoples and cultures, Carrollton students develop
as competent global citizens who understand and
respect the cultures of others. Working effectively
with people from other countries and cultures
with respect, open mindedness, and understanding
is surely a fulfillment of St. Madeleine Sophie’s
vision that Sacred Heart Schools prepare our
students to take an active role in shaping the world
by implementing our Sacred Heart values.

Dreams
Carrollton has been sustained by the vision of
St. Madeleine Sophie Barat and the shared dreams of
multiple generations of families who believe in Sacred
Heart education. Among those dreams has been the
encourage
hope of a Wellness Center that could serve both as a
teaching facility and as home to Carrollton Athletics.
Thanks to so many of our friends and families, this
dream will be a reality in August, 2014!
Please join the Board of Trustees in thanking…..
The Miguel Fernandez Family for extraordinary support and magnanimous
generosity in giving to the dream. Sr. Cooke on the left followed by Mike
Fernandez, Michelle Fernandez ’09, Constance Fernandez
Patrick and Catherine Anne Markert for creative leadership
and generous confidence in the dream
P. Nelson Rodriguez for his tenacity and generous spirit in seeing the
Wellness Center to completion. Nelson and Chely Rodriguez with
their daughters, Georgette Rodriguez-Vazquez ’92 and Carolina
Rodriguez-Azqueta ’93
Dreams
do come true…
“The way to do much in a short time is to love much. People will
do great things when they are stirred with enthusiasm and love.”
Sr. Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ
