FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
Dear Members of the AMHS Community: A few months ago I attended a leadership conference at a retreat center surrounded by the mighty California Redwoods. I vividly remember marveling at how spectacular and resilient these historic trees were, even after some of the most devastating wildfire seasons our state and region have ever experienced. It dawned on me that their strength is not by accident. These trees were built to withstand the elements. It is in their nature to survive. And so, too, it is no accident that Archbishop Mitty exists as it does. This community has been planted with intentionality and nurtured with the very best of Catholic education, a global mindset of service and learning, incomparable school spirit, and a whole lot of love. Our community can be seen throughout this Winter 2022 Mitty Magazine/Annual Report issue. Faculty, staff, and students are leading with faith by fully living the Catholic teaching of “Care for Creation” with their steadfast stewardship of our environment. The global reach of our community is witnessed through our virtual immersion trips and by acknowledging annual cultural traditions that celebrate the beauty of la comunidad. The unparalleled Mitty spirit is evident on the first day of Frosh orientation in the fall and felt across generations at the first home football game. And undoubtedly, the love is shown through the overwhelming generosity of so many donors, benefactors, volunteers, and sponsors who are part of the foundation of our existence. It is for these reasons and so many more that I know for sure that we are a strong and special community. So as we enter this new season, I pray you rest in knowing that our Archbishop Mitty community is built to thrive. Our soil is rich and ready for a new bloom. I hope you will continue to join me in watching how mighty we will grow. I can assure you that, just like those redwoods, it will be spectacular. May the gift of a new year fill your hearts with hope, peace, joy, and love. With deepest gratitude,
Latanya (Johnson ’92) Hilton President

Dear Friends, The term “school spirit” has come to mean many things to me over the years. In the traditional sense, we are a school full of spirit, pride of accomplishment, and strength of faith. We laud academic excellence, recognize exceptional service, cheer on our athletes, rise in ovation for our performers, and live out our faith each day. The spirit of Archbishop Mitty High School is second to none. The pages of this issue of the Mitty Magazine point to some of the many elements of spirit that permeate this special place. The spirit of stewardship directs the hands of dedicated educators who work with young people destined to be tomorrow’s leaders, passionate about saving our environment and directing the world toward a greener tomorrow. This same commitment leads others toward a re-imaging of purposeful experiences for our students, allowing them to unite in kinship with those near and far, creating impactful immersion experiences even while in the throes of a global pandemic. And that same spirit moves students, well,...to move. Whether running across a makeshift lacrosse field, scattering across the football field with instruments in tow, or cheering on the freshmen as they begin their new adventure in high school, the spirit moves our students to share their talents and ensure that that each new generation of Monarchs are welcomed and acknowledged for their special contributions to this place. And that spirit still calls to our alumni, who return to campus for reunions and alumni games and as parents of current students. Their continued love for their alma mater attests to the special place that this was, is, and will continue to be for so many past, current, and future Monarchs. And as we flip through the pages of the annual report, it is evident that the same spirit moves so many to share their time, talent, and treasure with our community. The ongoing support of our donors and volunteers ensures that the legacy of an Archbishop Mitty education will continue to be a reality for many young people seeking a Catholic, college preparatory education for generations to come. St. Peter reminds us in his letters to early Christians, “As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the multifaceted grace of God” (1 Peter 4:10). The pages of this issue demonstrate the beauty of shared gifts among a community of people committed to the betterment of the world in which they live and grow each day. Thank you for entrusting your students with us, for your support of the good work done here each day, and for the ongoing beneficence for your alma mater. May God bless you and your families. With sincere gratitude,
Katherine Caputo Principal

Care for Creation Lessons in Environmental Preservation and Stewardship By Katie Helland - Director of Communications
Senior Caitlin Bergevin took notes as her science teacher, Mrs. Janet Fenker, measured the dissolved oxygen levels of the water where a tiny fish swam at the bottom of an ecocolumn. The middle level of the column was filled with sand. On top of that, a healthy plant spilled over the edges of a recycled plastic bottle. In this system, the nutrients cycled through several layers, keeping the plant at the top and the fish at the bottom alive, and creating a self-sustaining ecosystem. “I like how we get to actually care for the plant and the fish,” Bergevin said. “It just allows us to really experiment with the things we are learning and make them more tangible.” Bergevin and the other members of her lab group, including seniors Adarsh Ambati, Aspen Bain, and Ava Casto, were working on ecocolumns as part of their AP Environmental Science Class. In science and religion classes across campus, students are putting the Catholic social justice teaching “Care for Creation” into action. Bergevin and her classmates took this message literally as they kept fish, worms, and sprouts alive. For Bergevin — and many Monarchs on campus — taking care of the environment is a calling for their generation. “Once we get to learn all the science behind what’s happening to the environment, then we can push for that in an advocacy project or different legislation,” Bergevin said. “Understanding something is the first step to trying to fix a problem.” Just a few buildings over, in Mrs. Lauren Matusich’s Ethics, Cuture, and Justice: Appalachia class, looking at how human actions impact the environment is part of the course. The Ethics, Culture, and Justice classes look at the seven principles of Catholic Social Teaching — including “Care for Creation” and “Life and Dignity of the Human Person” — and explore them in the context of a region, such as California, West Virginia, and international destinations like India, Central America, and South Africa. The juniors in Mrs. Matusich’s class study the impact of coal mining in the Appalachian Mountains on people and the planet.
“Appalachia is one of the most biodiverse regions of the world,” Mrs. Matusich said. The region is also home to coal extraction, a process that leaves miners with black lung disease and destroys the environment. The course looks at rural poverty and public health, culminating in a 11-day trip to West Virginia, where Monarchs see the things that they’ve been talking about in class. Mrs. Matusich talks about “Care for Creation,” and how humans are called to be in relationship with all of God’s creation. “The starting point is the notion that all creation is sacred,” Mrs. Matusich said. “And God dwells within all creation. Everything is an opportunity to encounter God. That’s the whole sacramentality of creation. We can experience God.” It’s a topic Mrs. Matusich also explores with seniors in her Ethics, Justice, and the Environment class, which covers scientific topics, like biodiversity and climate change, as well as the correlation between human slavery and ecocide, and Franciscan Spirtuality of the Earth. Students learn to take scientific information and analyze it ethically, then reflect deeper spiritually.

“What are we trying to do?,” Mrs. Matusich asked. “The goal is developing a deep appreciation and gratitude for nature that will move us to make ethical choices about how we move forward to address the various environmental crises that we’ve created by failing to care for creation.” For students like senior Umaya Loving, the class has been a chance to reflect on her place in the world. When Loving was 4 years old, her family moved to Belize, where they lived in an earth house in the middle of the jungle.

“The earth is our home, and we live on the resources that the natural world provides, which is why it is so incredibly important to fundamentally respect, appreciate, and protect the planet,” Loving said. “Ethics, Justice, and the Environment with Mrs. Matusich is an inspiring and authentic class. It’s teaching us the important things we need to know in order to do our part to help this fight against climate change.”
“ From a Catholic perspective, we have a vision of hope. It’s the belief that things can be different, and we can make a difference. ”
Mrs. Lauren Matusich
Not far away, in science classes, Monarchs are talking about “permaculture,” or care for the earth and its people, and the importance of using a fair share of resources. It’s a concept Mrs. Janet Fenker covers in her AP Environmental Science class, where students use what they know about biology, geography, and chemistry to look at case studies in the real world. Permaculture is also taught in Mrs. Fenker’s Feeding the Future class, a semester-long science elective offered to seniors. The class covers issues in our current agricultural system, as well as what students can do to make things better. Monarchs also look at ways to maintain healthy soil and water and alternatives to the pesticides, which control insects but also harm farmworkers and wildlife. “The focus on the environment in this class is that we need to feed a lot more people,” Mrs. Fenker said. “The way in which we’ve done that in the past is not sustainable.” As part of class, Monarchs get their hands dirty, literally. Each student will study the development of corn, beans, radish, and peas, as well as various sprouts, such as kale, arugula, broccoli, and chard, which are ready to eat in under two weeks. “Students are excited about growing things!” Mrs. Fenker said. Monarchs also learn about more sustainable and humane ways to raise animals for meat. Then, they study alternative sources of protein, including bugs. An insect uses less natural resources
After noticing the ecocolumns created by classmates were often unstable, senior Kyle Hagerty built stands. He used CAD software to develop a prototype, then built the product for all of Mrs. Fenker’s classes.

than a steer and can be used to feed people around the world, providing humans with much needed protein. Mrs. Fenker lets her students sample banana bread and brownies made with cricket powder, as well as chocolate covered crickets and mealworms. “The students love these!” Mrs. Fenker said. “The chocolate takes over and they just get the crunch from the bug. They are a bit leary of the mealworms, but they’re combined with coconut and chocolate.” It’s not just in the classroom that students are learning. More than five years ago, the school started a garden with the help of the Nourishing Earth Club and detention students. Today, the garden is run by Mrs. Fenker, Mr. Mike Targgart, and the Garden Culture Club with help from Campus Ministry’s Cornerstone youth group. This summer, that garden produced more than 200 pounds of food, which went to West Valley Community Services to feed low-income or homeless families living in West San Jose, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, and Saratoga. Today, the garden is home to tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, onions, potatoes, squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, pomegranates, melons, apples, persimmons, figs, oranges, and clementines. “Everything in the garden is organic,” Mrs. Fenker said. “They’re learning how to grow things without hurting the environment. It gives them time to observe interactions in nature and appreciate the jobs of the organisms that are there.”

An important part of a healthy garden is pollinators and students get to know the local bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds who make it possible to grow food on campus. Recently, members of the Garden Culture Club led Cornerstone students in harvesting fruits and vegetables, teaching them how to know when each food is ripe and where to harvest so the plant can continue to grow. The food went to West Valley Community Services where it will help sustain families who need food to put on the table. For students on campus, learning how things grow and some of the ethical issues surrounding resource management is intertwined. Caring for God’s creation isn’t something they approach from just an academic lens in their science classes. It’s something they’re exploring on an ethical level as they grow organic produce in the school garden, see mountaintop removal in West Virginia, or talk with farmworkers impacted by pesticides before advocating for better laws at the state capitol. Solving environmental issues is something some Monarchs will spend their whole lives doing as lawyers, scientists, and advocates. Mrs. Matusich hopes her students are able to wake up each morning with a sense of gratitude for God’s creation and that they’ll “enter their day walking gently,” mindful of the decisions they can make to help other people and all of creation. “The future depends on them,” Mrs. Matusich said. “Generations before them have left them a tremendous burden… From a Catholic perspective, we have a vision of hope. It’s the belief that things can be different, and we can make a difference.”
MEET A MONARCH: Adarsh Ambati ’22 Senior Adarsh Ambati is an inventor and environmental superstar. Over the years he has been featured in magazines and newspapers for his work to protect the planet. As a sophomore, he invented an affordable sprinkler system that reduces runoff in local communities. More recently, he created a noninvasive way to test amphibians for a life-threatening fungus. “In college, I plan on studying ecology and environmental science,” Ambati said. “My hope is through research and innovation, I can discover and innovate technologies to help preserve our environment for many generations to come.” Last year, Ambati won the International Eco-Hero Innovator Award from Action for Nature and was one of five finalists from across the world for the prestigious WIN-WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Youth Award. This year, he was named a Davidson Fellow and won the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes, awards that both come with $10,000 scholarships. At the heart of all Ambati does, is a passion to keep the planet green. Ambati is president of the school’s Green Team, which creates campaigns on various environmental topics, hosts guest speakers, and produces educational videos to share with the school community during morning announcements. “I joined the Green Team because I wanted to learn more about environmentalism within the Mitty community, but I soon realized that I also had the amazing opportunity to share and dispense my own green tips and strategies,” he said. In his free time, Ambati also runs Gro-STEMs, a group of high school students who teach science classes at homeless shelters and libraries across the Bay Area. To raise money for supplies, Ambati sells succulents. “Today, massive problems ranging from water shortage to climate change threaten the environment and, indirectly, all life on the planet,” he said. “Youth especially should have a vested interest in environmentalism as the destruction of the environment will affect our generation the most. If we as youth choose to ignore the problem, it will only magnify until it can no longer be solved.”

Solidaridad: The Glue that Binds Us Together By: Bea Scott - Spanish and Religious Studies Teacher & Academic Resources Coordinator
“Not again.” These words settled in with sadness once I realized in March of 2021 that, for the second year in a row, due to the pandemic, we would not be bringing students on immersion trips. I was disappointed and heartbroken. For students in Ethics, Culture and Justice classes and those signed up for co-curricular immersion trips, it was yet another disappointment after a year of missing and mourning countless opportunities. After a few conversations with Joe Connelly of the Center for Global Education and Experience, who has worked with us to plan our Central America trip since 2017, I presented the idea of a virtual immersion trip to Jamie Visser, our Immersion Coordinator, and Tim Wesmiller, our Director of Campus Ministry. The four of us worked to come up with a schedule and theme. Joe organized speakers from El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica, including theologians, activists, historians, artists, pastoral workers, and leaders of non-profit organizations. Because of Zoom fatigue, I was skeptical of how it would work— students in the Chapel watching the projector screen, students at home on Zoom, Joe and speakers on Zoom. Would we still be able to make connections and forge those relationships of solidarity that are so powerful on immersion trips? It would not be the same as stepping outside of our physical comfort zones and immersing ourselves in a totally different reality, having to speak a different language, deal with physical discomfort, and eat different foods. Yet, something special happened over the course of those four days. In a normal year, students often ask, “What service will we be doing on our trip?” I tell them that our trip is focused on standing with the communities we meet, listening to them, and then advocating for them upon our return. As Father Greg Boyle of the Society of Jesus, writes in his book, “Tattoos on the Heart,” the goal is “Kinship—not serving the other, but being one with the other. Jesus was not ‘a man for others’; he was one with them. There is a world of difference in that.” While there is a value in doing physical work to help others, and we encourage this in our service learning program, it is not the main focus of immersion trips. Since much of the power of the
trips comes from the seemingly small interactions that happen over the course of our time there: playing with children, going to Mass with the community, visiting the elderly, immigrants, and activists and listening to their stories, I worried that we would not be able to tap into those connections. That turned out to be an unfounded fear. The amazing passion of our presenters came through the screen and animated our students to ask excellent questions and make powerful connections. They inspired us with their example, their work with people on the margins and their challenging stories of hope and perseverance. One of our speakers, Antonio, went on vacation in Nicaragua and stayed and started Café Sonrisas where he employs blind and deaf employees. Another speaker, Gabriel, created art to protest the killings and kidnappings of protestors in Nicaragua. Madelaine, another speaker, stood up to the dictator in Nicaragua and proclaimed the names of those who had been killed in the violence of 2018. Another standout was Sister Peggy O’Neill of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, who has lived and worked in El Salvador for over 35 years. She had us say “solidaridad” aloud in Spanish and told us “Solidaridad means you become aware that people who aren’t even close to you are connected to you… Solidarity is the glue that holds us all together, that connects us.” What a gift to be able to connect virtually to this power that binds us all together. The Mitty tradition of impactful and life-changing immersion trips is alive and well and adapting to all the challenges thrown at us by viruses and changing realities in the countries we visit. Regardless of what happens in 2022, we will find creative and engaging ways to stand with our brothers and sisters around the world.

Scatter Band Takes The
Field
By Doug Santana - Director of Performing Arts
For the Archbishop Mitty community, several traditions signal the start of the school year: Freshman Orientation, Back to School Night, and of course, varsity football games. At halftime, after the football players head to the locker room, another team takes the field. They’re wacky with wind instruments… funny with flutes… and they have tubas: The Archbishop Mitty Scatter Band! Music at varsity football games has a long history dating back to when our band director, Ms. Lauren Bevilacqua, was a student at Archbishop Mitty.
“It’s been a fun way for the band kids to be creative and to learn to work together to write and perform a completed show,” Ms. Bevilacqua said.
The process of creating this hilarious halftime entertainment occurs during the academic day in the wind ensemble playing together due to the class, where 47 musicians collaborate “We were under the direction of Mr. pandemic, everyone was to come up with concepts, write diaKimont, we sat in the stands and wore excited to get on the field logue, rehearse formations, and learn our hockey jerseys,” Ms. Bevilacqua said. music.

A SPACE OF THEIR OWN By Katie Helland - Director of Communications

ARCHBISHOP MITTY MAGAZINE
“
I think we’re just really grateful for that opportunity to create space for the kids to be kids. To have a space for them to make their own rules, and hold each other accountable, and handle disputes on their own… It’s not about lacrosse. It’s about everything else that helps these kids develop as people and men who will contribute to society.
In a parking lot under the glare of construction lights, Alex Barber, a junior on of the lacrosse team, sent the ball flying past giant nets to his teammate. The sky was dark, but the smiles of the kids were bright as Coach these Monarchs did what they loved most: hang out with friends. For student athletes, like Barber, who is now a senior, sports provided community during the pandemic last year. For many, it was the only time they got to see classmates in person or to step onto their high school campus, following mornings filled with Zoom classes. “My teammates were amazing,” Barber said. “They were able to support me by giving me a sense of normalcy in the midst of one of the most odd and difficult times any of us had been through.” In a normal school year, games take place in the fall, winter, and spring. Last year, the rising number of COVID-19 cases across California meant games weren’t permitted for most of the year. When Santa Clara County finally allowed competitions in the spring —after a vaccine became available and the number of cases dropped— games usually played over three seasons were condensed into the last 13 weeks of the school year. At campuses across the state, fall sports, like football, and spring sports, like men’s lacrosse, had practice in the same month. At Archbishop Mitty, more than 900 outdoor student athletes, representing 26 sports programs, were working out at the same time.
The men’s lacrosse team took notes from elite high school and college programs and started playing box lacrosse, a game championed by hockey players in Canada when the ice dries up, in the east parking lot Mike Faby where they built the Lacrosse Training Center, or LTC. Using large nets to block off their space, they practiced technical skills in a confined space, where there was no room to be sloppy. The ball was constantly moving, which meant student athletes had to be ready to play any minute.
”
“You’re really giving kids the ability to make decisions, said Mike Faby, the head coach of the lacrosse team. “The more you get them to own the play and the culture — it’s beautiful. It’s magic. It’s also much more difficult to play against.” This spring, the Monarchs will be back on the field for their first normal season in two years. In addition to workouts on the field, they will be playing box lacrosse. Barber will be ready to play. So will his teammates. Getting the team back together means more fun is ahead. For Coach Faby, it’s one more chance for his student-athletes to build friendships and grow. “I think we’re just really grateful for that opportunity to create space for the kids to be kids,” Coach Faby said. “To have a space for them to make their own rules, and hold each other accountable, and handle disputes on their own… It’s not about lacrosse. It’s about everything else that helps these kids develop as people and men who will contribute to society.”
Junior Lucas Leaverton, sophomore Ryan Piert, senior Alex Barber, and junior Cole Kelly were part of the men’s lacrosse team last year. They practiced in the Lacrosse Training Center and will be back there and on the field this spring.

OPERATION: SCHOOL SPIRIT! By Greg Walker - Director of Student Activities
When the school year started, we celebrated being back on campus together again. We looked forward to putting “distance learning” behind us and getting back to normal. But, after having been away for over a full calendar year, what exactly was “normal” supposed to look like? We knew that our students had an expectation of rich traditions and spirit events, but how would we pull them off, and what needed to be different? That was our task as we entered the school year and welcomed our newest students.

ARCHBISHOP MITTY MAGAZINE
Traditionally, the beginning of the school year starts with Freshman Orientation, as we welcome Monarchs to their high school experience with great enthusiasm. But this year was different because we recognized our sophomore class did not experience orientation during their first days of high school, since they started the year entirely remote. So, with the help of a group of enthusiastic seniors, we gave the Class of 2024 their own proper introduction to campus with a special orientation. Sophomores were met with the customary honking of horns and were greeted by upperclassmen holding signs as they entered our west parking lot. The day provided an opportunity for students to meet one another, understand what school was going to be like on campus, find their classrooms, and just have some fun. We made sure students were wearing masks and properly socially distanced. The students seemed to enjoy themselves and embraced their time on campus. The days following Sophomore Orientation were devoted to our freshmen, the Class of 2025, and we allowed them to transition into high school in a way that only Archbishop Mitty
can. Upperclassmen gave up their last days of summer to be Freshman Orientation leaders who helped our new students feel welcome on campus. The orientation was filled with outside gatherings, games, opportunities to meet other students, and information about what it means to be a Monarch and how that translates into our daily activities. It was wonderful to see our older students remembering their first days of high school and making sure our newest Monarchs felt taken care of and supported. From a Student Activities perspective, school spirit and enthusiasm are hallmarks of the Archbishop Mitty experience. Orientation helps new students understand and embrace this attitude starting with their very first days on campus. We want students to feel at home and confident that they made the right choice in attending Archbishop Mitty. While school spirit extends to rallies and dances — and even Spirit Week— there’s no doubt that this energy begins with the community welcoming our youngest Monarchs to their new home starting with their very first hours on campus. Welcome home, Monarchs!

Monarch Fest
The classes of 1970, 1971, 1980, 1981, 1990, 1991, 2000, 2001, 2010, and 2011 gathered to celebrate milestone reunions during Alumni Weekend on Saturday, October 2nd. Close to 250 attendees returned to campus for Monarch Fest. The event provided an opportunity for alumni to connect with classmates, friends, and beloved faculty. Each reunion class had a designated part of campus to host a pre-celebration, including appetizers and drinks, prior to gathering in the center of campus for the main activities. The heart of campus was transformed into a celebratory space, complete with music, food trucks, beer and wine tasting, and a kids zone. Alumni also had the opportunity to walk the campus, take candid pictures at the photo booth, and stroll down memory lane with old classmates. More than a dozen current or retired faculty members joined the festivities, including AMHS President Latanya (Johnson ’92) Hilton, AMHS Principal Kate Caputo, Associate Principal Keith Mathews, Dean of Students Tamara Monson ’97, retired Physical Education Teacher, Strength and Conditioning Coach, and Head Football Coach David Brown ’71, Science Teacher Tom Motroni, ARC Coordinator, Religious Studies, and World Languages Teacher Bea Scott, Mathematics Teacher Matt Haniger ’85, and many more. Monarchs, be sure to mark your calendars for next year’s Monarch Fest: Saturday, October 1st, 2022.

The annual Hall of Fame Football Game took place on Friday, October, 8th, as the Monarchs took on Bellarmine on the Father Jack Russi Field at Archbishop Mitty High School. Each year, alumni are invited back to campus for the night football game to reminisce and reconnect. For the fourth year in a row, the Athletics Department welcomed back Hall of Fame members for a pre-game reception in the Sobrato Center. The night was a great success as a large portion of the AMHS community united to cheer on the Monarchs!

Remembering Ron DeMonner Longtime football coach Ron DeMonner passed away last spring at the age of 79 after a battle with cancer. He was known for coaching Monarchs to be great athletes and even better people. During his years on campus, Coach DeMonner inspired many football players. “He was somebody who gave you a really great foundation, not just for football but for life… His whole persona was around the development of a team, doing your job, accepting challenges, and working as hard as you could to achieve a goal,” said Dave Brown ’71, who was part of Coach DeMonner’s first varsity football team on campus. “Aside from my father, he was the most influential man in my life.” Coach DeMonner created a philosophy for the school’s football team that stood the test of time and was used for more than three decades from 1969 through the early 2000s.
He taught Monarchs they were in control of their destiny and could meet any challenge “head on with a maximum effort to a final outcome.” This coaching philosophy proved so impactful it was adopted by the following two head coaches: Jim Williams and Dave Brown ’71. In 1998, Coach DeMonner joined the very first class of the AMHS Hall of Fame. He is survived by his wife, Karen, who taught English on campus, and three sons — Nick DeMonner, Matt DeMonner ’82, and Sean DeMonner ’85— and the many Monarchs who benefited from his coaching.

Monarch Leadership Society The Monarch Leadership Society honors those friends of Archbishop Mitty High School who have contributed to the very foundation of the school by supporting the growth of the facilities, programs, and scholarships that make Archbishop Mitty High School what it is today. Each of these very special donors has a giving history of at least $50,000 or has made a formal commitment to the school through a planned gift or established endowment. Perhaps, even more importantly, each has invested in the lives of the students at Archbishop Mitty High School.

Annual Fund Parents, alumni, grandparents, and friends of Archbishop Mitty High School contribute to the annual fund for many reasons. They believe in Catholic education, which is enlivened by religious and ethical values. They believe in youth and lifelong education. They believe in hope for the future, which knowledge gained through scholarship provides. Gifts to the Annual Fund help the school cover the gap between tuition and the actual cost of an Archbishop Mitty High School education by providing the resources necessary for competitive faculty salaries and academic and co-curricular programs. GIFTS FROM PARENTS OF CURRENT STUDENTS We recognize that parents already incur the cost of tuition, and we are grateful for their additional support, contribution, and investment in their children’s education. In most cases, the gifts listed represent an annual payment on each family’s four-year commitment to the Parent Pledge Program.

Gifts from Alumni and Current Students All Archbishop Mitty High School students benefit from the altruism of the men and women who came before them. Alumni understand the value of the Archbishop Mitty High School experience perhaps better than anyone, and the ongoing support of the alumni community is critical to the school’s continued success. On March 5, 2021, we held the fourth annual Monarch Day of Giving, raising $22,000 with 35 classes represented. Next year’s Monarch Day of Giving will be on March 4, 2022, the day after Monarch Madness, and in the spirit of the Madness, friendly competition will be encouraged between graduating classes. Thank you to the alumni who gave so generously during the 2020-2021 school year.

Alumni & Friends Golf Tournament The 33rd Annual Alumni & Friends Golf Tournament was held on May 3rd, 2021 at Cinnabar Hills Golf Course. The number of golfers was scaled back in order to maintain social distancing throughout the course, and while this year’s tournament was different from years past, we rallied together to create an enjoyable day.

Archbishop Mitty High School Heritage Circle The Archbishop Mitty Heritage Circle consists of alumni, parents of alumni, current parents and friends of Archbishop Mitty High School, who have made provision for the school by means of a planned gift. These very special donors help to secure the financial future of Archbishop Mitty through their will or estate documents. A portion of their estate will be set aside for a special fund that will generate much needed support for our programs and scholarships. This unique giving vehicle is the greatest of all gifts as it allows future Monarchs to enjoy the superior Catholic college preparatory education that Archbishop Mitty students and alumni have experienced.
The following is a list of individuals who have made the school aware of such a provision as of June 30, 2021.

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house, there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.” John 14:1-3

In the most urgent of times, Archbishop Mitty asked the community to support the Emergency Tuition Assistance Fund, which helped meet immediate needs as well as other unanticipated need in the future. Thanks to generous donors, we raised more than $300,000 to support students in need.

Endowing Our Future An endowment fund is the restricted capital that provides a permanent source of income for Archbishop Mitty High School. The principal is invested in a disciplined manner, and the earnings and investment appreciation are channeled back into the fund. This allows the endowment to grow over time and become a source of long-term support that can be maintained permanently. Endowments provide much needed funding for families who might not otherwise be able to afford a Catholic college preparatory education; they also provide funding for the programs and services from which all Archbishop Mitty High School students benefit. We continue our fundraising towards “endowing our future” after successfully achieving the $20 million goal of The Campaign for Archbishop Mitty last year. There are three types of endowment funds at Archbishop Mitty High School: Scholarship Endowment Fund Investment earnings from this fund provide financial assistance to students with demonstrated financial need. Named scholarship opportunities begin with an initial gift of $10,000 or more, and a scholarship is considered fully funded (providing the median AMHS financial aid award) when it reaches $50,000. Program Endowment Fund Investment earnings from this fund assist curricular and co-curricular programs at Archbishop Mitty High School. Named program endowment opportunities begin with a gift of $10,000. The amount required to fully fund program endowments varies, depending on the operating budget of each program. General Endowment Fund Investment earnings from this fund supplement the school’s annual operating budget, helping to offset the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating a student at Archbishop Mitty High School. Named general endowment opportunities begin with a gift of $10,000. Those wishing to take part in The Campaign for Archbishop Mitty High School by establishing their own endowment or by contributing to existing endowments at any giving level should contact Mason Kimont, Executive Director for Advancement, at (408) 342-4260.

Brother Fien Volunteer Recognition Brother Herman J. Fien was a dedicated Marianist who devoted his entire life to God by teaching and serving others. From 1964 until his death in 1977, Brother Fien taught modern language at Archbishop Mitty High School. He worked tirelessly with the parents at Archbishop Mitty High School, particularly the volunteers, who gave of themselves in an effort to build community and spirit. Each year since his passing, the volunteers of Archbishop Mitty High School are honored in his name for their selfless dedication of time and energy on behalf of the school community. We are blessed with exceptionally dedicated men and women who, like Brother Fien, continue to give generously of their time and talents, without which we could not offer an Archbishop Mitty High School education. Their example of service and care is volunteering at its best. VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR

Student Christian Service The Service Learning Program exists to provide students with the opportunity to offer witness to their strong commitment to Christian values through service to the community. Each student is required to complete a minimum of 10 hours each year during their freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years. Through service, students fulfill their potential to be intellectually competent, just, faith-filled, respectful leaders as they serve others and work to bring justice to all God’s children. We are grateful to the following organizations, which are some of the many groups that hosted Archbishop Mitty High School students this year.

Supporting Archbishop Mitty High School Memorial and Honorarium Gifts
Securities
Memorial and honorarium gifts offer an opportunity to honor a relative, friend, or a business associate. Any special occasion – birthday, anniversary, graduation, and other accomplishments – are times to remember.
The best stocks to donate are those that have increased greatly in value, particularly those producing a low yield. Donating property that has risen in value and that has been held for more than one year results in no payment of capital gains tax on the transaction. Individuals can also receive an income tax reduction for the full fair market value of the stock. Please contact Kelly Rodman, Director of Annual Giving and Special Gifts, at (408) 342-4231 for a stock transfer form and instructions.
Special Events Underwriting and sponsorship of events such as the annual Black & Gold Gala, Mitty Auction, and Alumni & Friends Golf Tournament serve to defray the school’s expenses of producing these fundraising events. Your contributions are tax deductible as allowed by law. Bequests In providing for the school in a person’s estate, the donor’s lawyer should be instructed that our corporate title is “Roman Catholic Welfare Corporation of San Jose, a corporation sole, for the benefit of Archbishop Mitty High School.”
Thank you to everyone who helped make Archbishop Mitty home with gifts to the Direct Aid Fund. We are extremely grateful for the generous donations we received during the Season of Giving appeal.
At the Time of Death During the bereavement period, friends often seek an appropriate means to express sympathy. The following message in the obituary of the deceased provides an avenue to make a meaningful and thoughtful gift: Memorial gifts may be made to Archbishop Mitty High School, 5000 Mitty Avenue, San Jose, CA 95129.
