Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new crea$on. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17 In this passage, Jesus talked of change from the old covenant to the new. While Jesus represented what was new, He was respectful of the law of the prophets and the Old Testament. He did, however, indicate that while the old ways were the foundation, the new covenant that He proclaimed would be one that would alter the world forever. Indeed, Jesus and His new covenant have truly inspired and changed the world for the better. We are now invited to embrace the new and transform ourselves and our school in Christ. “Honoring Traditions and Embracing the Future" will be Archbishop Curley Notre Dame’s theme this year. Remaining true to our roots, we will continue to be the school enriched with a 59 year tradition of providing: quality academics that advance the scholars of tomorrow; championship caliber sports teams that honor sportsmanship and competitiveness; and a nurturing soul that offers individualized instruction in an environment that values the needs of others. This year, ACND has embraced the future by: infusing iPad technology; implementing new innovative teaching strategies; and installing a cutting edge wireless network. We have spent many years preparing for this and our current administration stands on the shoulders of those who have come before us and helped prepare the ground work for this day. ACND now utilizes iPads with e Textbooks and iBooks provided to all students (grades 6 through 12) at no additional cost other than the standard book fee. This catalyst for learning will house the student’s handbook, planner, and books. With a new campus-wide WiFi network, students can now do homework, research, work on projects, or read wherever they like. We have also extended the school day to include an activity period from 3:15 to 3:45 p.m. This 8th period allows teachers time for enhanced instruction, extra help, support, and enrichment. Athletic practices run from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Changes can be both exciting and scary. However, despite any anxiety, we will need to work together and “embrace the future” and continue to do what is best for the future of both our students and ACND. I am excited to be the new Principal and help carryout these changes. Please join me and the entire ACND family as we “Honor Traditions and Embrace the Future” and, through Christ, become a new creation!

Nurturing Souls and Valuing the Needs of Others The story of Blessed Edmund Rice has inspired genera4ons of people across the world. Among the values that we cherish from his tradi4on are his generosity, his courage, his humanity, his love of God’s word in Scripture, his devo4on to the Mother of God, his prac4cal reaching out to the poor and oppressed, and his absolute trust in God’s providence. – www.edmundrice.net
Weddary began working in HR a%er a visit to ACND to see Br. DePiro. There, he ran into Alicia Schlinder who works for the marke4ng department at MJHS and is mother of Alina Schlinder ’10. He is very happy that the connec4on was made and enjoys being a part of MJHS making a difference in our community. “Being born to two Hai4an parents, I can truly say that MJHS has been making a difference in the community. This commu nity is populated with individuals with Hai4an and La4n decent,” Weddary remarks. “Every day while I’ve been here, I have seen minori4es being hired. Knowing how hard the economy is, and how expensive cost of living has become, I can truly say that MJHS is actually saving families and lives.”
At ACND, we value the tradi4on of “caring” and this trait is passed on by ACND staff along with a suppor4ve alumni net work for the benefit of current students – the future leaders of tomorrow. Erik Frischholz, a 2012 graduate of Archbishop Curley Notre Dame Prep received the pres4gious Eagle Scout award. Eagle Scout is the highest rank a5ainable in the Boy Scou4ng program of the Boy Scouts of America. Erik has been Scout since the age of six. His most recent service project was to oversee the revitaliza4on of the Grand parent’s Reading Garden at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church. He added 400 hours of service to this project. 2012 ACND graduates, Ena Urbina and Christopher Estrada spent their day off from school bagging 14,000 rosaries des4ned for Cuba. The rosaries were taken by the approximately 300 pilgrims accompanying Arch bishop Thomas Wenski to the papal Masses in San4ago and Havana last March and were brought to El Cobre and le% at the shrine.

“We are so apprecia4ve of the ACND students who volunteer at MJHS. They enrich the lives of our residents, tenants and program par4cipants,” comments Susan W. Willenborg, Director of Volunteers at MJHS. ACND alumnus and St. Thomas University graduate, Weddary Joseph ‘06 also enjoys volunteering 5 days of the week at the MJHS in the Human Resources Depart ment. With a degree in Busi ness Administra4on and Tourism and Hospitality, Weddary hopes to a5end graduate school and eventually become a Marke4ng Director or work in Human Resources.

Le5er from Jonathan McRoy ‘01
I would like to thank the Advancement Department for all the work they have done in pu#ng together the online Alumni Magazines. I enjoy reading them and staying informed on what's happening in the ACND community. I would like to make a sugges"on for an upcoming magazine: is there a way ACND can reach out to their Alumni who currently serve in the Unites States Military Ac"ve, Guard and Reserve components and include these members in the magazines? Some examples of informa"on to solicit from Alumni Knights who have served and are s"ll serving would include Opera"ons that they have deployed in support of ways that have impacted local communi"es worldwide.
If you are in the US Miliary and would like to let us know where you are serving, please send an email to news@acnd.net.
Jonathan has been in the United States Air Force since gradua4ng from ACND in 2001. He is currently sta4oned in North Dakota and works as a Weapon Systems Coordinator and Unit Vo4ng Assistance Officer. He is deployed to Qatar and Kyrgyzstan in support of opera4ons Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, and joint task force at the Horn of Africa. He is recipient of the Global War on Terror Expedi4onary Medal, Na4onal Defense service medal, and several outstanding unit awards. Since on ac4ve duty, he has completed two Associate degrees, a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Science degree. He also holds the professional creden4al of Cer4fied Manager from the Ins4tute of Cer4fied Professional Managers at James Madison University.
I believe that alumni, who were first taught the profound impact of service, through the example of the outstanding faculty and staff at ACND, are now leading the way in society by serving their country and preserving the freedoms that we hold dear. And, the maintenance of these freedoms enables ACND to con"nue the outstanding work of educa"ng young men and women.
