MID-PENINSULA HIGH SCHOOL
Letter
From the
Head of School
And all of a sudden, the seniors are
gone, graduation is a memory, and
the undergraduates who are grappling
with finals will soon be heading off for
the summer. How did that happen so
fast? Life in schools is characterized
by nothing so much as transition and
change, and at this time of year, I feel
this most deeply. As always, I find
myself caught between contemplating
the future and reflecting on
the past.
There is much to look back on, as you will see
throughout this latest edition of Connections. The
Studio Art trip to New York, Night of the Arts, and Prom
“Under the Sea” all provide ample evidence of the
student energy that drives us. A special recognition
goes to our “dancing fools,” Seniors Chris Casal and
Quinten Suppes. Sports provided the usual thrills and
spills, with the added excitement of a first ever MPHS
tennis team! Student achievement was recognized by
the Kiwanis, with the annual Andy Anderson Award, and
by our internal awards. We also recognized four staff
members for their combined 100 years of service to the
school! Additionally, indeed it was our pleasure to have
Nathan Spreng ’96, Assistant Professor Department of
Human Development at Cornell, return to campus as our
graduation speaker who spoke about how memory helps
us envision a future for ourselves.
On the subject of transition, we bid farewell to art
teacher Amy, who is off to graduate school. We know
that we will miss her next year, but we also share her
excitement as she heads off to new adventures, and we
take solace in the knowledge that she will be out “MidPenning” the world. This fall we will welcome Michelle
Boire to pick up those reins, and I am delighted to
report that the rest of the staff is returning for another
chapter in the ongoing story that is Mid-Pen.
We are also experiencing a transition on the Board of
Trustees. After two years of service as Chair of the
Board, Cammie Vail will be stepping away from that
role. We will miss her patient, dedicated leadership.
It is a tribute to her effectiveness that she will be
replaced by not one, but two trustees: Larry O’Rourke
and Tim Biglow have agreed to accept the gavel. I look
forward to our continued productive association.
Lastly, as always, I take this opportunity to thank all of
you who have supported the school and to remind you
that the programs that make Mid-Pen such a dynamic
and special place would not be possible without your
generous support.
As I think back over this year, I am encouraged that
Mid-Pen has continued to grow and even to thrive. As
for the future, I face it with confidence, secure in the
knowledge that our strength as a community will carry
us. Go Dragons!

Years of Service Recognition
By Laurie Miller
Larry Johnston - Science
Teacher - 35 Years of Service
Larry joined Mid-Pen in January
1981. He has been the stalwart of
our Science Department ever since,
teaching General Science, Chemistry,
and Physics. At our reunions, our
alumni seek him out; their memories
of his illustrious travels (like hanging
out with orangutans in Borneo) are still fresh in their
minds. Larry is steadfast, reliable, and consistent.
One never has to worry about whether he will make
a deadline or follow through with a commitment. His
students respect his knowledge, and his classroom
demeanor. He has encouraged many of his Core students
to rise to academic challenges they were initially
reluctant to take on, and as one senior commented,
“Once Larry gets on you, he doesn’t let go.” As Doug
pointed out, “Many educators teach for a number of
years, and then move on because it takes so much
energy and commitment to stay a teacher, year after
year, and retain a love for the profession.” Not only has
Larry devoted 35 years to Mid-Pen, but his long teaching
career has encompassed 55 years of teaching.
Each year in May, our staff is treated to the
Board of Trustees Appreciation event, held
at the home of Tim and Lorinda Reichert.
This year, our headmaster, Doug Thompson
continued his tradition of acknowledging staff
members for benchmark years of service to
our school.
Troy Henderson - Campus
Supervisor - 5 Years of Service
Troy is our “Gentle Giant.” Teachers
need their classrooms to run smoothly,
and they appreciate knowing they
can send a student to him for a
“meaningful” conversation. Troy is a
disciplinarian who is firm, but gentle
and respectful in his discourse with
students about how they should conduct themselves, not
only in the classroom, but also in their daily interactions
with all members of our community.
Heidi Schiessler - Assistant
Head of School - 25 Years of
Service Heidi has filled several
positions at Mid-Pen. She began her
long career with us as Office Manager
in 1990, became our School Counselor
in 1992, and has been Assistant Head of
School since 1998. Doug unashamedly
admitted that Heidi does many of
the tasks that he does not want to do, because they are
either out of his league, too time consuming, or just
overwhelming. If there is anything that can give one a
whopping migraine headache, it is the task of creating
our class schedule every year, which Heidi manages to do
without losing her cool while being barraged with many
“special” requests from teachers. It also takes a steel
composure to be in meetings that have the potential of
bringing high emotions to the surface, and still remain
calm, cool, and collected. As Doug has pointed out, his
instructions to Heidi just before going into such a meeting
is, “If you see me start to lose it, just kick me under the
table!” Anyone who has seen Doug’s shins can attest to
her efficacy.
Dave Richardson - Academic
Director/College Advisor - 35
Years of Service Dave originally
arrived at Mid-Pen to teach a
summer school class in 1980, with no
guarantee of a permanent job beyond
that. Luckily for us, he was hired that
fall, and taught three classes, led a
Core, and was in charge of business.
Let’s see--how many hats has Dave worn? Where do you
want to start? Teacher, business manager, building and
grounds supervisor, school accreditation process, post
school advisor, student activities, student transcripts,
and member of the Board of Trustees. There is not a
teacher here who has not advised a student to “Go see
Dave,” not only for college applications (he holds a
Certificate for College Admissions and Career Planning
from Berkeley), but for whatever might be needed.
Dave is our “go to” guy for everything and anything:
ordering textbooks and supplies, helping Core teachers
manage transcripts and senior letters, graduation
ceremony--he even cleans the staff refrigerator!
The man has done it all.

Mid-Pen Graduation Class of 2015
Prominent Alumnus Returns to Deliver Commencement Speech
Dr. Nathan Spreng (Class of ’96) returned to Mid-Pen to deliver the commencement speech to our
2015 graduating class. Nathan is an Assistant Professor in the Cornell University Department of
Human Development. His research and teaching focus on how the brain remembers, imagines,
and maintains
attention.
Dr. Spreng drew
upon his expertise
on the human brain and memory to
reflect on what it is to create and recall
a remarkable life. Nathan’s speech
sensitively explored his experience in
developing a life path, and showed the
students that memories can help you
find a great future.

Student Awards
By Randy Johnson, Enrichment Center Supervisor and Community Outreach
Mid-Pen Students Win Kiwanis
Club Award
and teammates. Bernardo PolvoRomero worked tirelessly to improve
as a student, played a selfless role
in all his collaborative pursuits, and
won Athlete of the Year for two years
in a row. Alyssa Taylor earned this
honor for being an irreplaceable peer
leader, an advocate for change in
her community, and an example of
academic perseverance for her peers.
Each year, the Kiwanis Club of Palo Alto presents the Andy
Anderson Award to local students with the most improved
GPA between their freshman and sophomore years. Two
Mid-Peninsula High School students, Nina Leopold and Hoi
Lee “Michael” Ku, accepted the honor at a Kiwanis lunch
reception in May.
At the ceremony,
Nina and Michael
were accompanied
by their teachers
and families, some
of whom shared
stories about how
they turned early
struggles into
academic success. Both students received a $500 prize
for their hard work and resilience. Congratulations to
both Nina and Michael!
Harvard Book Award
The Harvard Book Award for
excellence in scholarship and other
pursuits was awarded to Matthew
Robinson-Wrobel. This honor is given
annually to a junior, and Matthew’s
exceptional GPA, high intellectual
capability, and solid classroom
presence made him a clear choice
for this award. The award has been
in existence since 1910, and the recipient receives the
Harvard Book, which is a collection of passages and
quotations about Harvard.
Founders’ Award
The Founders’ Award is given
annually to the senior who best
exemplifies the founding principles
of Mid-Peninsula High School. The
2015 winner of the Founders’ Award
went to Wills Harris. Dave Richardson
delivered a speech at graduation
that celebrated Wills’ achievement
of becoming a stellar student who
showed resilience in the face of challenges. Wills is
known as much for his kindness, humility, and generosity,
as he is for his amazing talents.
Grade Level Awards
Grade level awards are given to one student in each grade
for his/her high achievement in academics and other fields.
The faculty comes together to nominate, and vote for, the
recipients of these awards; this year the winners are Ryan
Burton (freshman), Malcolm Willig (sophomore), Kieran
Rege (junior), and Elina Smith-Leitch (senior).
Community Award
The Community Award goes to
the senior who made the greatest
contribution to the well-being of
the school and our surrounding
communities. This year we made an
exception and presented two students
the award for being equally invaluable
assets to their teachers, classmates,

Night of the Arts Gala!
By Amy Lange, Art Instructor; Jameson Swanagon, Music Instructor;
and Caitlin Berka, English and Drama Instructor
Amy Lange, Jameson Swanagon, Caitlin Berka
On May 16, the entire Mid-Pen community
came out to celebrate the school’s talented
students at our annual Night of the Arts. The
entire campus was transformed into a series
of inspiring exhibits with works from over 80
artists, musical performances by four talented
student ensembles, and two delightful drama
performances: Whodunit, and a scene from
The Rainmaker.
The musical material was culled from all corners of rock
history, including classic pieces by Neil Young, music
composed this year by Hozier and Sam Smith, as well
as an original composition by student Victor Steele and
the 7th period music ensemble. Regardless of these
disparate musical origins, each set of music had the
feeling of coming from a single source – a testament
to the thoughtfulness that each ensemble put forth in
preparing and realizing their performances.
Some of the highlights from the evening were the unique
student designed installation spaces converting corners
of the school into thematic realms. One student created
a live art installation where she worked on two paintings
over the course of the night, expressing the duality of
her creation process. One student made an altar as a
dedication to her love of Asian cultures and spirituality.
Another turned an entire classroom into the tea party
scene from Alice in Wonderland, complete with tea,
cakes and sandwiches, and a projector playing the scene
from the Disney film. As usual, the entire school was
covered in art, but of a quality that was more fervent
and high-energy than in years past.
The drama performance was, as always, an amazing
experience; we enjoyed watching our hilarious and
talented students shine in their unique roles and deliver
compelling performances under the direction of drama
teacher Caitlin Berka. The first performance, a midcentury noir detective spoof titled Whodunnit, was
written by Mid-Peninsula junior and budding playwright,
Emmett Rodriguez. Students also performed a scene from
N. Richard Nash’s play The Rainmaker about a struggling
family during the Dustbowl and the con man who tells
them he can bring rain.
The event was a wonderful chance to celebrate the MidPen community, honor the graduating seniors, and display
the culmination of a year of hard work and dedication by
our creative and skilled students. We would like to thank
our teachers, staff, students and their families, board
members and alumni, for encouraging and supporting the
talent in our students, and for joining us to make this such
an inspiring occasion.
The back lawn, converted into an outdoor stage,
was the perfect setting for appreciating the amazing
performances from four musical ensembles throughout
the warm spring evening. Each wonderful group had their
own unique line up of talented musicians whose individual
qualities melded together to create solid rock acts.

New York Trip:
A Transformative Art
Experience!
“Under The Sea”
Prom 2015
By Amy Lange, Art Teacher
By Julia Longnecker, Science Instructor
In late March, Heidi and I gathered five
excited Studio Art students and took them
to New York. The students were whisked
away for four days of art, theater and
culture, visiting five museums, attending two
Broadway shows, and exploring the wonders
of the city. What a busy and incredible week
we had!
Early in May, 65 students and their guests
took over the Mavericks Event Center in Half
Moon Bay. We enjoyed a delicious dinner with
stunning views.
After dinner, student dancing went into full swing.
The students (and staff) really got into the line dances,
and taught many other students how to do the “Cha Cha
Slide.” While taking a breather from dancing, there was
an outdoor fire pit to roast marshmallows over, or board
games to play upstairs. I received many compliments
from students about what a great time they were having
and how much they loved it this year. Thank you to all
the staff who supported this event and to all the students
who helped plan it!
We began at the Museum of Modern Art and saw the
newest virtual reality music video by Bjork, which was
emotional and mind-blowing. We then moved into the
painting wing and saw Van Gogh’s Starry Night, which
is always a highlight. We spent hours sketching and
wandering through the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
played with pattern-making software at the Cooper
Hewitt Design Museum, tried on our own set of virtual
reality goggles at the New Museum of Contemporary
Art, and on the way to JFK we stopped at the Brooklyn
Museum to see a retrospective of Kehinde Wiley’s
impressive photo-realistic painting of Michael Jackson on
Napoleon’s horse.
Tired yet? We also took in two shows: On the Town
and Fuerza Bruta: Wayra. They were each unique and
immersive productions, with a dance party, complete
with water fountain at the end of Fuerza Bruta.
This trip was a whirlwind of discovery, fun and
exhilaration that continued to inspire the students long
after their return home.

Sports News 2015
By Kurt Lange - Athletic Director
Basketball
With a turnout of 17 students for basketball,
we were once again able to field JV and
Varsity teams.
Our new coaches, Victor Pouncy and Craig Harris, brought
some new energy to the program that won only a single
league game the year before. By the winter break, the
Dragons had two wins: one a league victory over Jewish
Community and the other over Liberty Baptist of San
Jose. We were able to win two more league games after
the break, both against Kehillah with scores of 54-51
and 54-37. But that doesn’t really tell the whole story. Three of our losses were very close games. The first was
a double overtime loss to Mountain View Academy by 3
points. The other two were one-point losses to Jewish
Community and San Francisco Christian, respectively. Throw in the five-point loss to North Valley and it’s easy
to see that this Dragon Team was pretty competitive in
our league. Tennis
Early in the school year I was approached by
several students who asked if we could have
a tennis team.
After several meetings it became obvious to me that
these students were committed. We agreed to try a coed team that would practice at nearby Kelly Park and
play two or three matches. I’m happy to say that the
tennis experiment was a smashing success! The team
actually increased in number from 12 at the first few
practices to a consistent 15 by the end of the season. We played two matches, and actually won the second
match against a school who had been offering tennis for
several years.
Congratulations to senior, Chris Casal, for making
Honorable Mention, and to junior, DeAndré Henderson, for
making 2nd Team All-League! Also, congrats to the rest of
team which includes freshmen, Josh Agabon, Ryan Burton,
and Isaac Hart-Skaife; sophomores, Nick Balladares, Hana
Dvorak, Alex Koeppen, Lizbeth Magaña, Scott Petrushka,
and Mack Saitz; juniors, Gianmarco Peccolo, and Dudley
Ryder; and seniors, Stacie Foreman, Donald Lyons,
Bernardo Polvo-Romero, and Quinten Suppes. As a result, tennis will be back again next spring as
a co-ed sport. We are hoping to increase the match
schedule to eight matches. I want to give a big thanks
to coaches Brian Jeong (Class of ‘97) and Raul Salazar,
who also coaches soccer at our school! Members of the
tennis team include: Vanessa Cuevas, Jessica Das, Julie
Highbarger, Nick Hinson, Michael Ku, Cassandra Magaña,
Lizbeth Magaña, Yasmeen Magaña, Matt Robinson-Wrobel,
Dudley Ryder, Harry Sell, Shontelle Watkins, Averi
Westbrook, Malcolm Willig, and Cynthia Zamora.

Baseball
Our baseball season might be best described
as a “roller coaster.” We started and ended
the season with very tough losses: the first
to Kipp Academy of San Jose (10-9) and
then dropping our final game of the season
to league champ and undefeated Summit in
extra innings (4-2). In between those games we had victories over North
Valley twice, and single victories over KIPP, Jewish
Community, and Alma Heights. Congratulations to
seniors, Chris Casal and Mitch Broadwin who both made
2nd Team All-League. Both played multiple positions
and made huge contributions on defense and offense!
We are fortunate to have everyone else coming back
next year, including freshman outfielder Josh Agabon;
freshman pitcher/first-baseman Ryan Burton; freshman
outfielder Alex Garcia; freshman third-baseman Isaac
Hart-Skaife; sophomore first-baseman/outfielder Alex
Koeppen; junior DH/outfielder Gianmarco Peccolo;
sophomore catcher/pitcher Scott Petrushka; junior
infielder Vincent Pitre; sophomore catcher/infielder
Mack Saitz; and junior outfielder Eric Steele. Thanks for the exciting season guys!
