From the
Principal’s Desk
Dear Friends,
Each spring at St. Ursula Villa we bestow awards upon
our graduates for their measurable academic successes
and also recognize their achievements in non-academic
areas such as leadership, citizenship, kindness, and
demonstrating our Ursuline values. The graduation
ceremony at which the awards are presented is unlike
any I have attended—students’ deep love for their school
and parents’ appreciation for their children’s educational
experiences make for a bittersweet evening of tears and
laughter as they close this chapter of their academic career
and begin a new one.
Our 8th graders’ successful transition into Cincinnati’s
finest high schools is one of many ways we measure the
value of a St. Ursula Villa education, which includes
active participation in service outreach and volunteer
activities, enriching extra-curricular offerings and sports
championships, and exceptional faculty who instill a love of
learning and nurture curiosity in and out of the classroom.
I congratulate the 47 members of our Class of 2015 for
their outstanding accomplishments:
• 6 students scored in the 99th percentile nationally on
the High School Preparation Test (HSPT); an additional
9 students scored in the 96-98th percentile; and an
additional 12 students scored in the 90-95th percentile.
62% of our 8th graders achieved at this level.
• 100% were admitted to first-choice high schools.
• Over $681,000 was received in merit-based scholarships
from 9 high schools.
• More than 75% earned recognition for outstanding
community service.
It is also with great interest that we follow our alumni as
they move from St. Ursula Villa to high school, college, and
beyond. Our Class of 2011—recent high school graduates—
make us extremely proud:
• One student scored a perfect 36 on the ACT.
• 11 students—or 19%—were recognized by the College
Board as National Merit Finalists or Commended
Scholars based on the PSAT; this honor is bestowed
on only the top 5% of students nationally.
1
• They are heading off to top colleges in locations as
diverse as Texas, Colorado, Minnesota, Georgia, New
York, Ohio, and Paris, France.
• In these college settings—many of which are topranked schools—they will pursue programs and
interests as varied as medical studies, journalism,
business, fashion design, history, nursing, and
illustration.
Though they went to many high schools and are now
heading to many different colleges, the Class of ‘11 has
one thing in common—they went to the Villa. And the
Villa set each of them on an educational and life journey
full of potential and possibilities. I am very proud of our
students who achieve so much through the guidance and
instruction of our dedicated faculty and who forge new
paths with such drive and enthusiasm. To me, this is what
a St. Ursula Villa education is all about.
In this edition of the Villa Voice, we highlight some of
the many events and accomplishments of the 2014–15
year. As we look toward the upcoming school year, I
anticipate even more success beginning with the August
31st Dedication of our new Junior High wing and Main
School improvements, and launching our new Outdoor
Education Program on the Villa’s extraordinary campus.
I also look forward to working with Steve Ortner, St.
Ursula Villa’s new Board of Trustees Chair, while we
partner in advancing the Villa’s long-standing reputation
as one of Cincinnati’s premier educational institutions.
I invite you to enjoy the Summer Villa Voice and Annual
Report. And I thank you for your continued interest in and
support of St. Ursula Villa.
Sincerely,
Polly Duplace Principal

HIGHLIGHTS & HAPPENINGS
Education
Ms. Jacquie Berting explored the Villa campus with her 4th grade Science
students last year.
Learning and Growing with St. Ursula Villa’s Outdoor Education Program
St. Ursula Villa’s wooded 22-acre campus provides many
opportunities for discovery, exploration, and physical
activity literally in our own back yard. As a new academic
feature for the 2015-16 school year, our Outdoor Education
program will formalize these experiences into the school
day. Villa students will connect with nature, apply handson science, achieve personal growth, and develop a
commitment to environmental stewardship.
Ms. Jacquie Berting brings both professional experience
and personal passion for nature appreciation to this
new position as Outdoor Education Coordinator. She
earned her MAT (Master of Arts Teaching) from Miami
University focusing on hands-on teaching practices in
active observation and independent learning, developing
student engagement in environmental sustainability and
conservation. Since joining the Villa faculty in 2008, Ms.
Berting has applied this extensive background and passion
to her 6th and 4th grade Science classes, frequently
leading students on walks to observe plants, insects, and
natural elements of the Villa campus.
As Outdoor Education Coordinator, she will work with
students from preschool through 6th grade in crosscurricular lessons such as finding geometric shapes in
nature, strengthening descriptive writing, exploring
water cycle and erosion challenges, and celebrating God’s
creation. “I firmly believe in the benefits of getting children
out of the classroom,” says Ms. Berting, “and having them
realize that not all learning happens there.”
Schematic of proposed Nature Trails.
New Nature Trails will be added to St. Ursula Villa’s
hillside in early August to provide even more learning
opportunities with a kiosk, maps, and rainwater collectors.
Special thanks to everyone who helped fund this initiative
by raising their paddles during 2015 Villabration’s Special
Appeal, demonstrating their belief in the value of offering
Outdoor Education on our school’s extraordinary property.

HIGHLIGHTS & HAPPENINGS

The Villa’s Place in Cincinnati’s History
This past year, the St. Ursula Villa community learned
a bit more about our unique place in Cincinnati history.
Thanks to the sleuthing of some Villa staff assisted by
volunteer archivists at St. Ursula Academy, we learned
that our property was part of vineyards owned by Nicholas
Longworth, a prominent businessman, philanthropist, and
public servant whose renowned Catawba grapes flourished
in the late 1800’s. Thereafter, Nicholas Longworth III
served as Republican speaker of the U.S. House from 1925
to 1931, one of the most powerful in the chamber’s history.
In the 1920’s, Cincinnati industrialist R.K. LeBlond
built what is now St. Ursula Villa’s Manor House, whose
architectural elements commemorate the Longworth
family’s historic legacy, including grapevine motif both
inside and out. After the property was bequeathed to
the Archdiocese of Cincinnati in 1960, the Ursulines
of Cincinnati took up residence, utilizing these unique
spaces to educate children.
In 2015, the Annie W. and Elizabeth M. Anderson
Foundation, named after sixth-generation Cincinnatians—
the great-great-grandaughters of Nicholas Longworth and
Lt. Colonel Richard Clough Anderson—chose to recognize
5
this unique history through a $200,000 gift to further the
St. Ursula Villa’s educational programs. This generous
gift will endow an annual Annie and Elizabeth Anderson
Longworth Heritage Award for student excellence in
research and writing; fund an Annie and Elizabeth
Anderson Longworth Faculty Chair; and establish a
Longworth/Anderson Scholarship Fund for financial aid.
The endowed funds will connect this shared legacy and
expand St. Ursula Villa’s cross-curricular educational
programs relating to the influence and heritage of
Nicholas Longworth and the Longworth family’s historic
connection with St. Ursula Villa and Cincinnati. Principal
Polly Duplace remarks, “St. Ursula Villa students learn,
grow, and thrive on the Villa’s 22-acre urban neighborhood
campus, formerly owned by Nicholas Longworth. They are
taught, through word and action, to respect our shared
heritage and take these formative experiences throughout
their lives as they become productive community leaders.
We are pleased to receive the Foundation’s support as
we preserve and build upon our extraordinary history
for the benefit of our students, families, and the city
of Cincinnati.”

Commitment to Christian Service
Commitment to Christian Service is a characteristic of an
Ursuline education which St. Ursula Villa incorporates
into our students’ school experiences. We recently earned
our fourth consecutive year of recognition as a “School
of Contribution” through an effective partnership with
Children, Inc. Mayerson Service Learning Initiative.
Through Service Learning initiatives, students investigate
an issue, design a response or solution, monitor their work
through reflection, carry out the service, and culminate
the unit through a demonstration of knowledge and skills.
Service Learning benefits students by boosting academic
scores; developing 21st Century skills such as critical
7th grade Drama Club donated ticket sales from their one-act plays to
Childhood Food Solutions.
This past academic year, Villa students participated in Service
Learning projects both in and out of the classroom, combining
learning experiences with social outreach benefiting causes
ranging from animals in need to cancer research. The village
of Kabingo, Uganda was the focus of Service Learning
projects in several grades. Kindergarteners learned about
nutrition and, with the help of their 6th grade buddies,
organized a “hop-a-thon” to raise funds toward providing
food and other basic items needed by the Kabingo villagers
and students at St. Josephine Bakhita school. Fourth
and fifth graders studied Africa’s history and culture and
learned about Kabingo’s economic and social challenges
when a representative of “Hope for Kabingo” visited their
classrooms. Students helped purchase medical supplies,
school desks and playground equipment through sales of
Burger Farm gift cards. St. Ursula Villa donated more
than $1,300 to “Hope for Kabingo” and received a letter of
deep gratitude for their efforts on behalf of the villagers.
This and other Service Learning projects involved
classroom applications and learning opportunities while
nurturing students’ spiritual growth and a lifestyle
of Christian service to others.
3rd graders served as “blanketeers” through Project Linus to create blankets
for sick and needy children.

HIGHLIGHTS & HAPPENINGS
Community
“4-30” Celebration!
On April 30th, hundreds of attendees raised a toast to
four dedicated and beloved St. Ursula Villa teachers:
Meg Coogan, Kathy Finkbeiner, Beth Hake, and Jill
Moormann. The “4-30 Celebration” was inspired by each
of them achieving milestones of teaching at the Villa for
30 years or more – and since they are not retiring, the
tally continues! The event created an opportunity to
recognize and honor the teachers and to provide a forum
to express our community’s appreciation. A highlight
of the evening was the “Video Booth” where attendees
shared their memories and anecdotes about Ms. Coogan,
Ms. Hake, Ms. Finkbeiner, and Ms. Moormann.
Alumni, past parents, and friends raised their glasses with a champagne toast.
During the toast Principal Polly Duplace noted that
“these four women have been tireless in their dedication
and passion for St. Ursula Villa, our students, and our
families. They have collectively touched the lives of
literally thousands of students and their families. And
they have helped make St. Ursula Villa an outstanding
educational institution and better community.”
In addition to hosting an outstanding party, we were
hoping to raise $30,000 for a day of giving in their
honor to St. Ursula Villa’s Foundation for a Lifetime
campaign. By the end of the evening, an unprecedented
number of alumni—along with parents, faculty and
friends—contributed over $84,000 thanks to some very
generous matching funds! In recognition of this amazing
outpouring of support, our newly-relocated library will
be named “Room 430,” and will include a listing of all
individuals and families who contributed in honor of
these four special teachers. We also proudly list their
names in the enclosed Annual Report.
Meg Coogan, Kathy Finkbeiner, Beth Hake, and Jill Moormann were touched
by comments.
New Parent Orientation
St. Ursula Villa welcomed more than 60 parents to our
New Parent Orientation on June 4th. Attendees enjoyed
meeting St. Ursula Villa leaders and administrators,
learning about the Villa’s strong academic programs and
Ursuline heritage, and socializing with other Villa parents.
The Villa’s Ambassador Program pairs parents new to our
school with current Villa parents to help navigate aspects
such as carpool procedures, uniform guidelines, and other
school routines. New parents and Ambassadors connected
at the Orientation and shared a fun evening together.
Jodi Mahon, Jeanne Shurmer, Karen Frank, and Val Schube enjoyed
reconnecting at the event.

alumni page at www.stursulavilla.org/alumni.
New parents Bimal and Nirvana Patel learned about the Villa through

ST. URSULA VILLA ANNUAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR JULY 1, 2014–JULY 1, 2015
From the Board of
Trustees Chair
Dear Villa Family and Friends,
It’s a great time to be part of the St.
Ursula Villa community. As a parent
of three Villa alumni (classes of ‘99, ‘01,
and ‘05), I am honored to now serve as
Chair of the Board of Trustees. Over
the years, I have witnessed many
changes at the Villa, including building
the Primary wing and Gym in 1999,
the Villa Way in 2009, the new Early
Childhood facility and Manor House
Chapel in 2014, and Main School
construction currently underway.
But many things have not changed. As
my wife Cindy and I did 25 years ago,
families continue to choose St. Ursula
Villa because it is the best Catholic
elementary school in Cincinnati. Our
teachers, steeped in values bestowed
by the Ursulines of Cincinnati, are
unrivaled in their passion and care for
each individual child. Villa families
are extraordinarily engaged and
collaborative. And Villa graduates
continue to achieve at the
highest academic level city-wide while
displaying leadership and care for
others less fortunate than themselves.
It’s a palpable, qualitative difference
from other schools. The Villa provides
the academic, emotional, and spiritual
foundation upon which our graduates
build a meaningful life. I see it in my
own adult children and I see it every
time I come to campus and witness the
students in action as they engage with
each other, teachers, and parents with
respect and confidence.
Our Foundation for a Lifetime
campaign, now in its final stages, is
continuing to build that foundation
by providing classroom environments
which help our teachers to teach and
our students to learn in spaces which
go far beyond simply desks in rows.
As the renovations wrap up, we turn
our focus to a dynamic strategic
planning process to ensure that our
mission is being realized, our faculty
is supported and nurtured, our
Financial Report

communications are open and effective,
and our enrollment is robust. This plan,
with input from educators, parents,
students, and administration, will
ensure that St. Ursula Villa continues
at the forefront of education now and
into the future.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees
and the Administration, faculty, and
students, I thank each of you who have
contributed to our school’s success.
We proudly list names of contributors
during this fiscal year in our Annual
Report Honor Roll of Donors. These
financial contributors help make the
Villa an outstanding educational
community and one of which I am
proud to be a member.
I hope to see you all at the dedication
of our Junior High addition and Main
School renovations on August 31.

Zaring Family Foundation
Annual Fund donors contributed a total of
$202,059, with an unprecedented participation
rate from our current Villa families, including
100% of our own faculty and staff. The Annual
Fund helps bridge the gap between tuition and
the actual cost to educate each student, enabling
St. Ursula Villa to maintain outstanding faculty
and programs, and providing critical funds for
operations. Special thanks to Lisa Connelly and
John Desmond for their leadership as Annual
Fund Co-Chairs, and for the many volunteers
who helped make the Annual Fund a success.
St. Ursula Villa’s Foundation for a Lifetime
campaign supports our campus improvement
project including the new Early Childhood wing,
Manor House Chapel, new Junior High wing,
and Main School classroom relocations and
renovations currently underway. We appreciate
the many donors who have contributed or pledged
their support. Special thanks to the leadership
of Paul and Linnell Sullivan, our campaign
Co-Chairs, and for our campaign volunteers.
What impact do you
want to have?
“We spent over 14 years
at St. Ursula Villa and
every time we return to
the school for a visit it
seems that we have never
left our SUV “family.” We
believe that our children
excelled in high school
and college due to the
outstanding education
they received at the Villa.
Debbie and Dan Motz
Christina – Class of 2000
The nurturing faculty set
Courtney – Class of 2006
very high standards and
made the school even more special. We sincerely hope that
including a gift to the Villa in our estate plan will continue
to impact the lives of children and future generations.”
Learn more about making St. Ursula Villa a part
of your estate planning strategy. Contact Diane
