Annual Report 2009-2010 - Owensboro Catholic Schools
2009-10 Annual Report Owensboro Catholic Schools 2009-2010 Profile Thanks to our fifteen parishes and their pastors for their many years of sacrifice and support to our family, Church and community. Parishes Blessed Mother Blessed Sacrament Chapel Immaculate Our Lady of Lourdes Precious Blood St. Alphonsus St. Anthony St. Augustine St. Elizabeth Sts. Joseph & Paul St. Martin St. Mary Magdalene St. Peter of Alcantara St. Pius X St. Stephen Cathedral Pastor Fr. John Meredith Fr. John Vaughan Fr. Tony Jones Fr. Brad Whistle Fr. Bruce McCarty Fr.

John Vaughan Schools All the Owensboro Catholic School sites received their Accreditation from the Kentucky Board of Education. The Accreditation is approved until 2013 from the Kentucky Non-Public Schools Commission. Owensboro Catholic Elementary K-3 Campus – Annunciation 4-6 Campus – Immaculate Conception of Mary Grades 7–8 Owensboro Catholic Middle School – Holy Family Grades 9–12 Owensboro Catholic High School – Assumption Auspice Maria, meaning ‘under the protection of Mary,’ is a subtle yet significant symbol of the importance of Faith formation. This visually strong symbol dovetails with many other symbols already ever present in our schools. From the weekly reminder to genuflect and say a prayer to Jesus at the Elementary K-3 Campus masses to Eucharistic Adoration at the Elementary 4-6 Campus, from the weekly commitment to mass and prayer services at OCHS to over half of the students at OCMS involved in the choir for masses, these symbols along with many others point to who we are and our commitment to faith formation.

Our History The history of Catholic education in our area dates back to 1848, when the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth opened St. Frances Academy. In 1951, the equipment of St. Frances Academy was moved to the new Owensboro Catholic High School, which opened in September 1951. In 1989 the Owensboro Catholic schools were formed from a consolidation of the various parish schools with Kindergarten through grade 8. These new elementary schools housed the Kindergarten through the 6th grade, with a new Owensboro Catholic Middle School for the 7th and 8th grade. In 1990, OCHS joined OCS which made the school system K-12. A reconfiguration in 2004 of the K-6 schools took place with an Elementary K-3 Campus and Elementary 4-6 Campus being formed. This allowed for adequate size classrooms, sharing of resources and faculty collaboration along with a Differentiated Learning Specialist. Today students from local parishes attend an Owensboro Catholic Elementary K-3 Campus, 4-6 Campus, Owensboro Catholic Middle School, and Owensboro Catholic High School. Fifteen parishes partner with the Owensboro Catholic Schools in providing faith and academics for the greater Owensboro community. 2 l www.owensborocatholic.org Annual Report A Letter from Ken Rasp 2009-10 Dear Friends of Owensboro Catholic Schools, What a blessing it is to be associated with so many people who both support and live the OCS mission every day. To be surrounded by people who continually say YES to God’s call and willingly contribute their time, talent and treasure every day is incredibly awe inspiring. The personal witness provided by these generous and faith-filled people as they serve our students and families as teachers, administrators, council and committee members, and volunteers, allows our students to learn by example what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus. This past summer I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Midwest Staff Development for Educators Conference in Chicago with 24 administrators and teachers from across our school system. Each day of the conference as we met following sessions and workshops, I especially enjoyed the opportunity to see how purpose filled our attendees were as they listened, internalized the subject matter on learning, and then shared what they learned with their colleagues. You could see the wheels moving as each was already finding ways to incorporate what they learned in their classrooms. I was honored to be with them. I want to say a special thanks and congratulations to Barbara Evans, Ben Thompson, Jan Gary, and Harold Staples who retired at the end of the 2009-2010 school year after serving our students for many years. May their examples serve to inspire us to excel as we strive to live out our mission. As you read this Annual Report, I ask you to pay special attention to the many ways our schools are working to be good stewards of the gifts given to us. The message presented shares our proactive focus on providing excellence in faith-formation and academics, as evidenced by our outstanding scores on the ACRE, ACT, PLAN, Explore and Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS). Please also note the many examples of excellence and success achieved by our students in their many extracurricular activities. Our students continue to represent their families, their school, and their faith with dignity, integrity, and care. A Letter from Father John Vaughan My dear friends, I have just read a challenging article about Catholic Schools written by Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York. The article is entitled: “The Catholic Schools We Need.” In the article Archbishop Dolan asks the question “Who needs Catholic schools, anyway?” His answer is very clear – We all do. By that, he means the entire Church, not just those parishes or communities where a catholic school is available but his contention is that the whole Body of Christ is stronger and healthier when our children receive a good solid Catholic education. Noting the current trend toward fewer schools and smaller schools, the Archbishop states It is time to recover our nerve and promote our schools for the 21st century. The current hospice mentality—watching our schools slowly die—must give way to a renewed confidence.” I wholeheartedly agree with Archbishop Dolan. We have every reason to be proud of what we accomplish here in our Owensboro Catholic Schools and we need to hold our heads up, proudly promote our schools and invite others in our community to share in the blessings that we all receive through the Owensboro Catholic Schools. To all who purposefully step forward and live the OCS Mission, I thank you for your commitment, dedication, and support. You obviously recognize and celebrate the value of a Catholic education. As partners, we will continue to provide an education that is truly “Faith In Education.” This brief letter gives me the opportunity once again to thank all our administrators and faculties for their commitment to our children and their families. In addition, I want to acknowledge the dedication of our parents who choose Faith in Education for their children. Obviously, we all must pray in gratitude to all our pastors and parish communities which contribute such significant support to our children and their intellectual, personal and spiritual formation.

He is the unseen but everpresent teacher in its classrooms, the model of its faculty and the inspiration of its students.” We at Owensboro Catholic Schools believe that each person is a sacred individual. We believe that each person is a significant and essential part of the whole Body of Christ, both called and destined by God for continued growth and maturity. It is the primary responsibility of the schools to create a truly Catholic, Christian environment in which each student can become more aware of his/her self-worth and seek fulfillment at all levels of development. The Owensboro Catholic Schools are committed to instilling values, morals and proper attitudes. OCS upholds a standard of order and discipline to teach students responsibility, accountability and respect. OCS prepares each student for life in this world and in eternity with the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Church. The faculty, staff and administration are dedicated to carrying out their Christ-inspired vocations. Their commitment and sacrifice are inspiring and help form a familial bond that exists between personnel and students.

First of all, our elementary schools, the middle school and the high school are certified by standards of academic excellence. All schools are accredited by the State of Kentucky, Department of Education. In addition, the Owensboro Catholic Schools are evaluated by the National Catholic Educational Association, the Kentucky Non-Public School Commission and the National Committee for Private Education, which requires professional development for teachers. A second way to judge the academic excellence of a school has traditionally been student performance on national testing. On the average, Catholic school students perform above the national norm for the particular tests chosen. Owensboro Catholic Schools go well beyond that measure as evidenced in the accompanying charts. ACRE Test Scores: The ACRE (Assessment of Catechesis Religious Education) test is an assessment of religious education, proficiency, and practices given by the Owensboro Catholic Schools to students in grades 5, 8, and 11. The four major divisions of the Catechism, Part one: The Profession of Faith, Part Two: The Celebration of the Christian Mystery, Part Three: Life in Christ, and Part Four: Christian Prayer, recall the fourfold division of the Catechism of the Council of Trent (also called the Roman Catechism) promulgated in 1566. This structural arrangement often referred to as the Pillars presents a succession of movements: The Church believing, celebrating, living, and praying. 95 Profession of Faith Liturgy & Sacraments Life of Christ Christian Prayer 91 90 87 87 86 85 87 86 84 80 79 78 78 76 75 75 74 70 68 73 69 70 68 70 68 69 68 67 65 63 60 Grade 5 Grade 8 Grade 11 Grade 5 Grade 8 Grade 11 Owensboro Catholic Schools Average Grade 5 Grade 8 Grade 11 Grade 5 Grade 8 Grade 11 National Average (270) 686-8896 l 7 Students of the Month – 36 Students Honored BETA Honor Club – 23 Inductees – 7th Grade Level Kentucky Youth Assembly Leadership Team – 1 Student Honored Parliamentarians – 2 Students Honored Outstanding Speaker – 1 Student Honored One of the Top 10 Bills Presented Academic Team – Governor’s Cup – District Title – 4rd Straight Composition – 2nd Place (2 tied) Math – 1st Place, 3rd Place, 5th Place Science –1st Place, 2nd Place Language Arts – 1st Place, 5th Place Social Studies – 1st Place, 2nd Place, 5th Place Arts and Humanities – 1st Place, 2nd Place Future Problem Solving – 1st Place Governor’s Cup – Regional Cup Arts and Humanities – 2nd Place Social Studies – 4th Place State Competition – Arts and Humanities – 5th Place ‘Math Counts’ – 3rd Place Christian Service Award – 4 students Honored Christian Athlete Award – 2 Students Honored National ‘March For Life’ Poster – 1st Place Mechatronics Club – Lego League Regional Competition The President’s Gold Award for Educational Excellence – 36 Students Honored The President’s Silver Award for Educational Improvement – 25 Students Honored All American Scholars – 46 Students Honored USAA National Leadership Merit Award – 34 Students Honored OCMS Band Most Improved 7th Grade Band Members – 1 Student Honored Most Improved 8th Grade Band Member – 1 Student Honored Outstanding 7th Grade Band Members – 1 Student Honored Outstanding 8th Grade Band Member – 1 Student Honored All District Band – 10 Students Honored Christmas Concert Spring Concert KMEA Solo and Ensemble Festival Distinguished – 16 Students Honored Proficient – 10 Students Honored OCMS Cheerleading KAPOS Exhibition Squad Performance JamFest – Nashville – 2nd Place OCMS Boys Basketball 7th Grade Diocesan Tournament – 1st Place 8th Grade Diocesan Tournament – 1st Place Other Student Accomplishments/Awards Owensboro Youth Council – 5 Students Served Invocation Prayer at the Boys and Girls Club Kentucky Youth Chorale – 1 Student Honored ITBS Achievement Test: This year OCS, in conjunction with all Catholic Schools in the Owensboro Diocese, administered the ITBS Achievement Test in place of the CAT6 Achievement Test. The ITBS is a more comprehensive and rigorous test. Teachers use the results to guide instruction within the classroom. The scores reflect a National Percentile Rank. It is determined by comparing how well our students did with other children across the nation who took the same test. For example, if OCS scored in the 78th percentile, this translates to OCS students performed better than 78 percent of the others who took the same test. The “average” score would be the 50th percentile, and you can see by looking at the tests that OCS students score well above the national average!
