Greetings PC Knights!

As you read this edition of our Peninsula Catholic Knight

Report, we are well into yet another successful school year.

Some of the many things you will read about have all been in

preparation for 2013-14. For example, our echnology Cadre,

composed of teachers and administrators, worked tirelessly last

year to initiate a 1:1 technology initiative. In August, every

8th, 9th, and 10th grader had a Chromebook placed in their

hands. Our students have never been more engaged in their own

learning.

You will also hear from our School Advisory Board president

who, with the help of the entire board, has moved the vision

of our physical expansion into a reality. Members of the Board

watched over the clearing of land behind the school and the

relocation of our new, $100,000 soccer field. After a blessing

and dedication, PC’s men’s soccer team took on Walsingham

Academy in their inaugural game and tied 1:1 in overtime.

Our next immediate steps include softball, baseball, tennis,

and a wrestling room. Hopefully, we will be writing about the

completion of those facilities around this time next year!

Lastly, we reminisce on the wonderful year we just left behind.

Mr. Batkin fondly recalls his time spent with 70 seniors preparing

for the next chapter in their lives. Mr. Jackowski’s review of our

athletic teams--the struggles, the commitment, the triumphant

victories--will make you proud of our student-athletes who

are well-known for their outstanding sportsmanship and

perseverance against, sometimes, all odds. Mrs. Kovalcik proudly

shares the accomplishments of her fine arts department--through

our seasons of music and song, art, and drama. Tere is much,

much more! So, sit back, relax, and read the tale of Peninsula

Catholic’s 2012-13 school year!

Te International Book Sharing Project (IBSP) is anexercise in international cooperative learning concerningthe Shoah (Holocaust) and its meaning for youth today.Trough the project, Peninsula Catholic was paired withan Israeli school, and confronted questions of moralityand culture through a shared reading of Nobel PeacePrize winner Elie Wiesel’s “Night.”

Peninsula Catholic Teology teacher, Eva Hinojosa, initiatedinvolvement in the program in the hopes that connecting with studentsfrom Wiesel’s own ethnicity would personalize her students’ understanding of the Holocaust’s continued internationalimpact. “I enjoyed exposing my students to such an engaging project that let them become aware of the struggles of the

Holocaust,” said Hinojosa. “Specifically, the struggles of Elie Wiesel with students from Israel.”

Lana Bernhardt, an IBSP liaison, presented students with additional information about the Holocaust and assisted themin connecting with their counterparts in Israel. “Tis was a remarkable group,” noted Bernhardt. “I was inspired by[their] robust, engaging discussions that exemplified [their] critical thinking skills.” Te bridge that the program createdbetween students of different cultures and religions provided a learning experience that moved beyond the classroom walls, and will most likely positively impact the students as they move onto college and onto their professional lives. “It was a great way to share ideas and morals of the story with people of different faith and origin,” said Chris Duke ’13.

Since the early 1950’s, St. Vincent andPC students have traveled to the “Te Big Apple.” Te tradition continued when 40PC students hit the road this past March.“What better place to experience some ofthe biggest movements of art, drama andmusic,” said Patrick Smith, PC dramateacher. “New York is a pilgrimage thatevery young aspiring artist must make.”

During the trip, students and chaperones visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, walked around Central Park, touredGrand Central Station, took a boat touraround the New York Harbor, visited the9/11 Memorial, saw two Broadway plays

(“Newsies” and “Annie”), attended Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral,took in views from the Rockefeller observation deck and exploredLittle Italy, Chinatown, the Village and imes Square. “I can’tbelieve we fit so much into one weekend,” said Jessica Kovalcik, finearts teacher. “It was a blast!”

As decreed by Pope Benedict XVI, the Peninsula Catholiccommunity kicked-off a “Year in Faith” with a holy celebration thatincluded songs, prayers and reflection.

Te theme was chosen by the Pope from scriptures (Acts 14:27),and was meant to inspire Catholics to grow deeper in their faith byincreasing knowledge of the catechism, while demonstrating love forothers and God. “Te ‘door of faith’ is always open for us,” wrotePope Benedict in his Apostolic Letter. “[It is] ushering us into thelife of communion with God and offering entry into his church.”

During Peninsula Catholic’s celebration, inspirational testimonies were shared by members of the community and class representativespresented symbols of “keys” to open the door of faith. Te theology

department coordinated the celebration and the school communityinscribed their names on a physical door, which remains in the school lobby as a symbol for each of us that we startand end each school day with an investment in our faith, the good will and support of each other, and a reminderthat God’s love means that a door is always open for each of us.

PC F ACULTY MEMBER HONORED AS A H AMPTON R OAD M AGAZINE T OP T EACHERPeninsula Catholic business teacher, Melanie Weser, was honored by HamptonRoads Magazine with a 2013 op eacher Award. Tis award recognizes teachersin the community whose dedication to their profession and their students makeslasting positive impressions upon their students. “As a new student from Seoul,

Korea, I took Mrs. Weser’s Economic and Personal Finance course,” said YunwooNoh ’14. “Some of the terms were very hard for me to understand and Mrs. Weser always met me after school with smile and helped teach me strategies forlearning the advanced material.”

Weser is enjoying her seventh year as a professional educator. After beingnominated for the competition, she was one of ten teachers selected out of 8,702nominees.

Weser, who also serves as the I specialist at PC, is thrilled about the newtechnology driven application in her classroom and throughout school. “Tisyear, I required my eighth graders to communicate with experts in the fieldfor more insight on a project they were researching. Tis kind of immediate

connection to professionals was nearly impossible when I was in high school.”

Beside being valued as a teacher, Weser has been instrumental in establishing PC as a technologically progressiveschool through the One-to-One echnology Initiative. Te initiative, which began in early 2013 with theprocurement of Chromebooks for each classroom as well as extensive training and support for teachers, continuesinto the 2013-14 school year. Tis year, students in grades 8-10 received a personal Chromebook computerloaded with Google Education applications and software. It is projects like this that demonstrate Weser’s work as adedicated teacher and a supportive coworker and make her an instrumental part of the PC family.

Kara Maners, Francesea Chiarello, Megan Duregger, Ali Via and Joey Dominique stand in front of the community’s “door of faith.”

PENINSULA C ATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOHonoring the Past and Celebrating the Future

Father Tomas J. Wilson checked his watch as the train chugged to a stop and steam billowed around hisfeet. He’d lost track of time while preparing for his visitors, and left the rectory at St. Vincent de Paullater than he planned. It had been barely a year since the Xaverian Brothers had started their own school - St. Vincent Academy - but Fr. Wilson was invigorated by a new challenge: helping to build a Catholic schoolfor girls.

His first job that afternoon was to collect and deliver four Sisters of Charity of Nazareth to their new home.Sr. Charlotte Hourigan, Sr. Frances Meager, Sr. Lorenza Dedrick and Sr. Agnes Sienna George stepped offthe train from Kentucky with humble belongings, and were quickly escorted by Fr. Wilson to meet Bishop Augustine Van de Vyver, who was awaiting their arrival at the school - a building donated by a couplecommitted to supporting Catholic institutions.

Tomas Fortune Ryan and his wife, Ida Mary Barry Ryan, were blessed, both in fortitude and finance, andthey shared those blessings with the religion and arts that enriched their lives. Ryan, born into poverty in Virginia and orphaned at age 14, moved to New York when he was 21 to make his money in a series ofendeavors - railroads, tobacco, insurance, oil, lead, and diamonds among them. Tomas and Ida wouldeventually donate more than twenty million dollars to Catholic establishments over their lifetime. One oftheir bequests was a brick school and convent on 33rd Street, Newport News, the beginning of St. Vincentde Paul School.

Based on a writing by Ellen R. Strong, which was originally published in the75th Anniversary Book. Adapted by Jim Foley ’96 and Molly Bowes.

Te Bishop greeted the sisters as Fr. Wilson helped them navigatethe muddied sidewalk and steps to the building provided byMr. Ryan. Te imposing brick mansion was two stories high, with four large rooms heated by steam and a coal stove. Despitethe weather, the rooms were cool and conversations echoed offthe empty spaces and high ceilings.

Te Bishop blessed the building, and left the sisters to their work. It was October 2, 1903. In just under three days, with Fr. Wilson’s help and little else other than drive and dedication, thefour Sisters of Charity of Nazareth would open the St. Vincentde Paul School for 104 girls.

Te first year at St. Vincent School was characterized by“missionary circumstances” for its founders. When the sisters walked to morning mass at St.Vincent De Paul Church, theirblack robes drew the attention of the thousands of shipyard workers who shared their route, causing one worker who noticed

their procession to inquire if the president of the shipyard haddied. As winter approached, the generously donated buildingproved drafty and challenging to heat, causing Sr. Charlotte toreturn to Kentucky when her rheumatism became too muchof a challenge. Sr. Mary de Paul Fitzgerald arrived to teachmusic (a focus on the arts was a value that would stay withthe school for decades as - at least through the 40’s - there was always a designated music teacher on staff). Fr. Wilsoncontinued to work on the sisters’ behalf and collected booksfrom the church library, while borrowed cash and publicschool texts supplemented the school materials. By the time Sr.Rosine Griffin arrived in 1904 to run the school - shocked at

the “knee-deep” mud road in front of the building, the “mudpond enclosed by a green-mold fence” leaning behind thebuilding, and the ailing housekeeper huddled for warmth nexto the small coal stove inside the building - she declared thatthe conditions at the school constituted “a foreign mission.”She was quickly reassured by the other sisters that the situation

was temporary: the Ryans had already invested in constructinga new school building.

Te new building opened in 1904 and served as the school’shome for many years. In 1929, St. Vincent de Paul Schoolbecame coed when St. Vincent Academy closed and the sisterstook in 56 of its male students. Increased enrollment requiredmore space, and construction was initiated to expand theschool once again.

“Cloudy” KnightsPC Prepares Students for a 21st Century Collegiate Experienc

As the PC community becomes more familiar with the school’s new 21stCentury technology based instructional methods, excitement is growing.Project based learning is the cornerstone of this initiative, and the objectivis to foster collaboration and engagement while developing college-level

technology skills.

In the summer of 2012, PC installed a wireless internet system, takingthe initial steps toward making the vision of technology-based learninga reality. All students were encouraged to bring their own devices toclass to take notes, compose essays and work together in groups duringthe 2012-2013 school year. Tis fall, every rising 8-10th grader andfaculty member received a Chromebook computer. Tese devices enrichclassroom discussions and research, and are the gateway to Google Apps foEducation. Google Apps support all curriculum and through the Googleplatform, thousands of web tools are also available for instructional suppo

Te new system is completely cloud-based through Google and individuausers have access to all documents anytime and from anyplace that hasinternet access.

Fast, easy collaboration is what makes this new investment so unique andbeneficial. Additionally, PC will save money in the long-term as the schoeliminates the expenses associated with maintenance and software forcomputer lab desktops.

John married the girl next door.

She lived at 111 East Kine Avenue, and he at Spring Garden, and theiryards came together where the two different streets met. John walkedHelen and her sister Jeannie to school in the mornings, and they justalways knew each other.

Tere was a story that they broke-up once, or maybe twice. Tat John’s father might want him to marry another girl who livedin town, so Helen called things off, and in a rare moment of anger might have thrown the engagement ring in the river. Butthe story was never clear. Like those couples who spend a lifetime together and eventually encounter more challenges than thegrowing pains of young relationships, John and Helen didn’t dwell on their stories of courting and break-ups. Tey had thebusiness of living to attend to, and a family to raise.

John and Helen were married on a uesday. John became an Aerospace Engineer with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA, now NASA), and Helen joined the typing pool when she moved to Hampton Roads to join her husband After bouts of morning sickness, she confessed to her co-workers her surprise that she was pregnant. “We know ,” teased thegirls in the office. Helen continued to struggle with queasiness and thought it best to quit her job. She never went back. Overthe course of the next twelve years, she would have ten little Riebes.

“Tere is something I heard recently,” says the youngest, Mary Ann Riebe Antonioli ’76.Te family has been stitching together the threads of stories that they have learned fromeach other and from family friends to get a better sense of who their parents were “aspeople” - as “peers” in a sense, since they are all of an age where they are parents, auntsand uncles themselves responsible for others and looking for answers in their own lives bylooking to their parents’ lives for guidance. “Our next door neighbor growing up was alady who was like our second mother. She recently told me that Mom thought seriouslyabout becoming a nun. See, I didn’t know that,” Mary Ann tips her head to one side and isquiet for a moment. “Maybe she wanted to go to a nunnery after having all of us! She lovedbabies so much. She was very patient. Very easy-going.”

Helen was an only child, and seemed to embracethe idea of a house full of siblings. “She loved babieseven as a child and always wanted a sibling,” addsGeralyn Riebe Nelson ’68. “Karen was born on theirfirst anniversary. Christine was born on Christmas.Barbara on Halloween; Mom was helping the kidcarve pumpkins and having labor pains at the sametime. She sent the kids off trick-or-treating and saidto be home by 8:00 because she was going to thehospital to deliver a baby. Barbara was born laterthat evening.” Te older children remember whentheir mom learned she was having a fifth child. “Shecried,” says Geralyn, “but then she got out the Searscatalog and picked out new maternity clothes.”

If Helen embodied grace and calm, John was fullof energy and purpose. Additional children meantadditions to the house, and the small Cape Cod at 33Gamble Street grew to twice its original size as John’sengineering mind enjoyed conceiving of new waysto expand what they already had. “Te layout was very odd,” laughs Geralyn. “You would have to walkthrough someone’s bedroom to get to another room,and my father was always inviting people over andshowing them the house. You’d be trying to studyin your room and he’d bring someone through and

just say, ‘Keep doing your work! I’m just showingFather Sullivan the house!’ And then the two of them would go down to the living room and blast CarminaBurana from the stereo.”

Many days, John could be found in the living roomstanding in front of the stereo with his arms extendedand conducting in staccato as music blasted fromthe speakers. “Dad would play his classical music the way kids would play their music - loud ,” remembersGeralyn. “He would stand in the living roomdirecting the symphonies.” And he loved to dance.

“He’d grab Momma as she was walking by and spinher around in the living room.”

Helen and John were different in temperament, butthey were paired well in love and values. Te childrenremember the frugality that was the hallmark oftheir household. Helen taught the children to sewtheir own clothes, while John reused everything frombuilding materials to everyday household items, likebaby food jars. And while the family stretched theirdollars, there was one area in which they did notconserve: the children’s educations.

Photos - page12: Te Riebe then andlater: John and Helen with their tenchildren, Karen Boyle ’63, Mike ’65,Diana Arthur ’67, Geralyn Nelson’68, Suzanne Wright ’69, Matthew’70, Barbara ’72, Christine Enos ’73,Greg ’74, and Mary Ann Antonioli’79 P’06 ’09. - page13: photos fromthe family collection.

“My parents were adamant about us getting Catholic educations,” saysMary Ann. “wo years after I graduated from high school, they madetheir last payment on ten tuitions.”

“It amazes me that they had enough to send us all to Catholic school,and then saved enough to send us to college,” says Geralyn. “TeCatholic faith was very important to them, and they wanted to makesure that we got a good education and that we were raised in theCatholic schools. Once in awhile Jehovah’s Witness would come tothe door. Low and behold, my dad would be walking down the streetfollowing them telling them what he believed. Tey did not wantto come back to the house! Te Catholic faith was very important to

him - and mom too, she was just quieter about it.” John was active inhis church as a Eucharistic minister and also taught CCD, and he wasproud that the family was one of the first when Our Lady of MountCarmel was built, where they were listed in the directory as “TeRiebe Mob.”

Te girls note that frugality, a love of music and religion weren’t theonly values their parents instilled deeply in their children.

S O S “H”by Michael King P’12, Board President

Approximately 10 years ago, an athletic fieldconcept envisioned on a 37-acre tract of landbehind the school was developed by PeninsulaCatholic community members. Te problem? We didn’t own the land. If there is anything thatour founding Sisters of Nazareth taught us, it was not to let a little thing like lack of resourcesstand between Catholic educators and their goal.

In 1903, it was Tomas Fortune Ryan and his wife, Ida, who endorsed the importance ofCatholic education in our community throughtheir gifts of school buildings for our firsteducators and students. Over 100 years later,it was Hampton’s beloved Mrs. Billie Gordon- a Catholic philanthropist and 100 years oldherself - who left over $1.6 million of her estateto Peninsula Catholic to support Catholiceducation on the peninsula. Tanks to Mrs.Gordon’s support, the school bought 37 acresproperty in 2008, allowing the school to address

several goals: we created a buffer between theschool and outside development; we set oursights on creating athletic facilities that includeda multi-purpose field, track, baseball, softball,second practice field, and tennis courts; and, weconceived plans for a stage and arts classroomsin a newly proposed addition to support ourgrowing fine arts programs.

When it was determined that some of the newproperty could not be developed because ofthe presence of wetlands, the plans to build

athletic facilities on that portion of the land wasabandoned. In 2010, the Board of Advisorsdrafted a new plan that was more constrained. While we expanded our vision to eventuallyconstruct a stage and arts classrooms in a newlyproposed addition to support our growing finearts programs, there was disappointment in notbeing able to fulfill the goal of creating “home”facilities for tennis, softball and baseball.

Subsequently, in the fall of 2012, the schoolathletic staff and Board worked to redefinethe proposal and develop options to providebroader athletic opportunities for our students,yet ones that were still confined to an area that was developable and was in keeping with ourbudgetary constraints. Te decision was madeto eliminate the multi-purpose field since theoriginal thought was to introduce football toPC. Because of the fact that schools with muchlarger student bodies and larger budgets werefinding it difficult to maintain an expensiveprogram like football, and it was decided thatthe idea of a football program and facilitiesat Peninsula Catholic could not trump thereality of current student athletes on teams fordecades who had been shuttled to off-campuslocations to participate in tennis, softball and,one of our oldest programs, baseball. In 2013,the Board of Advisors unanimously approvedthe new plan, which not only serves more

students, but successfully allows the school toexpand our vision even further. And while it was not originally a goal, it was discovered thatby eliminating the track and field, PeninsulaCatholic will be able to achieve even morethan we had planned. With the new plan, wecan build facilities not only for tennis, softballand baseball, but we are also able to constructa wrestling room for a team who is now seeingcompetition on the state level, as well as investin our state champion cross country teamsby evaluating the current trails and exploring

ways to bring the Bill McGough MemorialInvitational back home to our campus.

It has been a long journey but the fulfillment ofnew athletic fields and an arts center is withinreach, as each year we get closer and closer to thecompletion of the Peninsula Catholic campus.600 Harpersville Road will continue to servestudents for at least another 110 years.

“Te new plan not only serves more students but successfullyallows the school to expand our vision even further.”

Te updated plan for expansionincludes a soccer field (completed, fall2013), tennis courts, a softball field, abaseball field with additional playingarea in the outfield, a wrestling room(adjacent to the school and across theroad from the soccer field), as well asa Fine Arts Building with a stage, andclassroom and rehearsal space (locatedto the left of the baseball field).

Students who attended Peninsula Catholic from 1995 until 2012 may remember a routine walk of the field to remove rocksand dirt clods from the field, as well as the “PC Bounce” - the home field advantage of being able to anticipate unpredictableball movement because of the uneven terrain. A laser-leveled, sod soccer field with a built-in sprinkler system is the first of theathletic fields to be completed.

Artshe Department of Fine and Performing Arts at PCstrives to cultivate a love and appreciation for thearts while fostering an environment conducive to itsapplication. Art plays a vital role in education. Trough

the arts, students are free to explore creative thinking,expressiveness, and develop a deeper level of awareness.

Recognizing the individuality of each student, thegoal of the Fine Arts Department is to not only teachtechniques, but create experiences as well. Trough art, we hope that our students will learn something aboutthemselves, something about their environment, andsomething about the ultimate creator, God.

Te annual Celebration of the Arts Evening takes placein March, and features performance pieces, a juriedart show, a poetry competition for elementary school

students, and musical presentations that include PC andarea middle school students. Our Drama departmentexpands its vision yearly; not only does the qualityof the performances and the sets seem to improveeach season, but this year Mr. Smith hopes to take hisstudents to England to experience London theatre whileparticipating in a one-act competition for local schools. And this year we welcome Tom Sauber, who will

direct the liturgical music, the school choir and the PCinstrumentalists.

We can’t help but think of the day when the architect’srenderings for a Fine Arts addition to the schoolbecomes a reality and we have a stage for our actors,practice rooms for our musicians and dancers, andclassroom space for painting, photography, drawing andceramics. Our students increasingly demonstrate thattheir talents are worthy of a designated space for thearts, and you can see their work not only on the pagesof this magazine, on the walls of the school, and on thestage in the cafetorium, but also in the way they chooseto live their lives as students at a Catholic school - withgenerous spirits, with respect for diversity and withreverence for their own Creator.

After spending much of thepast two years being treated fortesticular cancer as a patientat Children’s Hospital of theKing’s Daughters, Darrell Woodreturned to CHKD as a prince.

Wood, a 2013 PC graduate,played the dual role of Te Beastand Te Prince in the school’s

spring musical, “Beauty and the Beast.” Before the finaldress rehearsal Wood, accompanied by three other castmembers, Andrew Wiscarson (“Gaston”) Danelle Blake(representing “Belle”) and Andrea aleghani (“Babette”), visited the children at the hospital in full costume.

“Te kids who are getting treated here, we really meshtogether and carry each other through hard times,” said

Wood. “Te kids here have inspired me to get throughall of this with good spirits, with a smile on my face andso I want to inspire them.”

Wood not only bonded with patients but also with thestaff at CHKD. “He is a very special young man,” saidSharon Cindrich, CHKD’s marketing manager. “He toldus, ‘Anything I can do for you, just let me know.’ I’vedefinitely taken him up on it.”

Early in the day, Wood and Blake went to the secondfloor to see some of Wood’s friends on the hematologyand oncology unit. Ten in the afternoon all four wentup to the eighth floor to visit other patients. BlakeNewsome of Norfolk smiled as he watched the four teenentertaining his 3-year-old son Chase, who is recoveringfrom surgery on his hips and knees. “He’s usually prettyshy,” Newsome said, “but he’s really enjoying this. It’s agreat thing for him.”

Wood has loved theater and dance for as long as he canremember. He is now attending Virginia Wesleyan,majoring in theater and biology. But he said hisexperiences in the past several months have him thinkingabout a career in pediatric oncology.

For now the show must go on. “Performing is mypassion,” he said. “It’s my life and my love. And I’m glad

I got to share it for a little while with these kids.”

Ahe athletic program has been a vital part of PC sincethe early days of St. Vincent on 34th Street. Athleticsoffers students opportunities for competition and

camaraderie while teaching the value of sportsmanshipand the power of a team. Trough the program, weencourage students to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle while communicating respect for opponents, teammates,referees and fans.

Tis past year marked growth in several team sports. Wrestling qualified for competition on the state level.Boys’ ennis had its best season in two decades. Boys’Cross Country won the CIS title, and earned secondat states while, then junior, Philip Harpen captured the

individual state championship. And our Girls’ CrossCountry and Volleyball teams each won state titles whiletheir respective coaches, Susan Bender and ommyTomas, were recognized with “Coach of the Year”awards.

Looking forward, the construction of soccer, softballand baseball fields, tennis courts, wrestling room andrenovation of the cross-country course all ensure a brightfuture for athletics at PC. Tese new athletic endeavors

will most definitely boost fan morale by allowing PC fansto enjoy home games at Peninsula Catholic. Tey willalso allow student athletes to maximize their practicesby cutting out travel time. And the availability of fieldsduring P.E. classes means that students will be exposed tomore sports, thus increasing the possibility of students andcoaches uncovering and nurturing “hidden talents.”

It has been a pleasure to see the PC community rallyaround a plan that was only a dream nine years ago whenI first took the helm of Athletics. With the soccer field

already ready for play, and the start of field constructionon the other areas currently underway, the dream is beingrealized. In the coming months, I anticipate great thingscoming to the athletic program at PC.

GO KNIGHS!

O ver the courseof the past year,I had the pleasure

to get to know andto work with the 70amazing, talented,and ambitious youngmen and women thatcomprised PC’s Classof 2013. In doing so,I witnessed futuresbeing planned, goalsbeing achieved, anddreams coming true.

In her Salutatory address, Jessica Armstrong eloquentlyhighlighted the greatest asset of this class: the collectivestrength of the 70 unique and individual puzzle piecesthat eventually fit together to comprise the Class of2013.

Te academic strength of the class was evidenced bythe fact that every member of the graduating class wasaccepted to at least one college or university. In total, our

70 graduates collected 218 acceptances to 71 differentschools in 30 states and the District of Columbia.

Class strengths shone through service to the community, which includes the completion of a staggering 13,475 volunteer hours. wo of our graduates – Katie Cheneyand Brian Kiddy – have extended the spirit of servicebeyond high school, and will be serving our countryafter attending college on ROC scholarships: Katiereceived an Air Force ROC scholarship to attend theUniversity of Florida, and Brian received a Naval ROC

scholarship to attend Virginia Military Institute.

Student strengths shone through athletics as embodiedby Nikia Clark, who is transitioning from her role on thestate champion volleyball team at PC, to a scholarship atCharleston Southern University where she will continue

her time on the court. Daniel Harthausen, whoseathletic accomplishments in two short years earned theretirement of his wrestling number, also earned a spot on

Kings College’s team through a scholarship.

Senior strengths shone through the arts – whether it wasin the studio where Hannah McHugh’s creativity earnedher a record number of art school scholarship offers andan eventual home at the School of the Art Institute ofChicago, on the stage where Joey Dominique, Andrew Wiscarson, Danelle Blake, and Rachel Sawyer starredin their senior year drama productions, or through the voices of Andrea aleghani, Megan Grayson, MeganDuregger, Darrell Wood, Jonah Grinkewitz and Jun Lee,

who performed together one last time at graduation.

Moreover, the Class of 2013 raked in over four milliondollars in scholarship money (an average of over$57,000 per student!). One of our outstanding scholars was Laurence Garcia, who received the DavenportLeadership Scholarship Award from Virginia ech - anaward that is “based upon superior intellectual promiseand academic performance, demonstrated leadershipability (and) personal character” and includes the

equivalent of in-state tuition costs annually for up tofour years of engineering studies.

While graduation is always bittersweet for me, I cannothelp but be excited to see our newest alums beginthe next chapter of their lives, whether in Auburn,Gainesville, Boston, Denver, Charleston, or campusesthroughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. Simply put,I am so proud to have had this opportunity to work witheach and every one of our graduates, and cannot wait tosee what they accomplish next!

It was a year of continuing the journey of reconnecting with oldfriends and family members, remembering our history and roots,

and exploring the many directions in which we could expand ourschool’s vision as we turn a calendar page and realize, we’re 110years old.

If “home is where the heart is,” then it is also where we findour greatest supporters. Our faculty members were the first torally and express their belief in PC when they pledged 100%participation in the Annual Fund, and the School Advisory Boardenthusiastically followed suit a week later. Friends and family sentsupport along with their special intentions during the month ofMay, and the St. Vincent de Paul Religion Club said prayers in

honor and in memory of our loved ones. Our parents donatedtheir time and talents throughout the year to support special eventsand fundraisers, and our alum parents gathered together to sharean early fall social and shared histories while contributing theircontinued, multi-decade support of their children’s alma mater.

Of course, it was not the tally of financial support that made theyear successful, but the family members who make these schoolhallways a “home.” From the living room where erry and George Jacobs, Cyndi Zodda, and Katie Barneyback welcomed PC’sfriends, to the “backyard” where Darrell Brackin helped plan new

athletic fields, to our dining area where ‘84 class member KevinSmith initiated a new Homecoming tradition, and the office whereBucky Yacobi turned the pages of photo albums to give names toold school photos, the PC family continually showed its supportand generosity. Even when we couldn’t meet face to face, we wereonly a phone call away, so alums like John and Jimmy Marks couldlend their wisdom and love of adventure to the school they havechampioned for over 60 years.

Tere were many more PC family members who rolled up their

sleeves to make PC a home this past year, and more still who havecome forth in recent months to reconnect and share their ideasand energy to ensure there will be a place on the peninsula for aCatholic high school for another century. For this family, we areblessed.

Happy 110th Birthday, Peninsula Catholic,

Molly BowesDirector of Development & Marketing

“Home wasn’t a set house, ora single town on a map. It was

you may go.”
