notes of interest

Dear Alumni and Friends As another school year comes to a close, we look back on where this year has taken us. It is a good time to reflect on the paths we have chosen. Many opportunities are presented to us each day and the choices we make determine our path. Whether you are an adult or a teenager the paths we choose set us on our life course.

I feel blessed to be able to come to work each day to a place where I have opportunities to explore my faith path. This is one of the things that led me back to Bishop Gorman. For the past two years, as the Alumni and Parent Relation Coordinator, I have been able to incorporate my Catholic faith into my professional life.

Whether it is stopping in the Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel for a prayer or attending a sporting event, I am surrounded by people who have the same values and help keep me grounded and on the right path. You don’t have to be an employee to take advantage of our faith community. Our parents and alumni are always encouraged to reconnect and get involved to continue your path of faith including our alumni and family Masses as well as our retreats such as Kairos.

We all know that high school years are some of the most formative years of your life. Now more than ever our students are asked to think about their futures at such a young age. We at Bishop Gorman take the responsibility of guiding our students very seriously. They are given the tools to choose their path and let them know that even on their journey beyond high school; Bishop Gorman will always be here to support them. We are here to remind them of where all their hopes and aspirations began and to help them in whatever way we can.

“By choosing my path, I choose my destination.”

In this issue you will see what the Bishop Gorman students have been up to this spring. Whether they are excelling in Mock Trial, community service or theater, we know this is just the beginning for them and their path. As the school year comes to an end, we hope that our students put any worries aside about their futures and remember that they are the ones to control their destiny and that their paths are what they make of it.

As you read through this issue of the Gazette you will see how one person’s path can affect so many, how exciting the unknown can be and how the possibilities are endless.

The National Merit® Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school students in their junior year enter by taking the PSAT a test which serves as an initial screen of approximately 1.5 million entrants each year.

In their senior year, thirty four thousand of the 50,000 high scoring students receive Letters of Commendation in recognition of their outstanding academic promise. Approximately one-third of the 50,000 high scorers become Semifinalists. They are the highest scoring entrants in each state. In February, close to 15,000 Semifinalists are then notified that they have advanced to Finalist standing. Finally, all Merit Scholarship® award winners are chosen from the Finalist group based on their abilities, skills, and accomplishments.

Bishop Gorman is proud to announce the 2016 National Merit Finalists: Catherine Dube (John Dube '79), Michelle Kim, and Rongel Yee. Semifinalists: Scott Rutledge (Gloria Navarro '85) Commended Students: Haley Coleman, Maria Geraghty, Zach Grech, Isabella Riezler, Alexander Schunk, Samuel Sholeff, Richard Standaert, and Madison Ulrey.

MITE BOX DONATIONS HELP NEEDY LAS VEGANS! Every Tuesday morning during first period, we have our Mite Box collection. This has become a friendly, yet fierce, competition among the classrooms and administration offices! The top three donating classes are acknowledged in the Wednesday Daily Announcements.

The Mite Box “Winner of the Week" hosts the beautiful Mite Box trophy, has their picture posted on the Tiberti Student Commons wall, and even get a treat! Our Mite Box collection has been around for quite a while, and the money has even been used to pay bills for Las

22 TWICE AS NICE!

One of our newer traditions at Bishop Gorman is our annual formal wear drive Twice As Nice. Lindsey Remark, '13, and Juliana Remark, '13, started this program five years ago to collect formal wear items that would be given to Las Vegas teens who struggle to afford these extra expenses. The title of the drive, “Twice As Nice” represents the twins who formed the program, as well as the idea of recycling your nice clothing and allowing someone else to feel good about how they look!

This year our collections went to Project 150, a nonprofit organization dedicated to Las Vegas teens who go without many necessities. This organization has been amazing in their dedication to providing teens with not only the necessities, but also a few bonus items such as the formal wear collected in our Twice As Nice drive.

Continuing the family tradition, Lindsey and Juliana's younger sister, Brittany Remark '17, (Deanna [Cambeiro] Remark '84) spearheaded the drive from February 26 through March 11. Our students donated dresses, suits, shoes, belts, ties, purses, jewelry, and other items that another teen could utilize for Prom, Homecoming, or any other special event. Each year our drive grows and we are able to benefit hundreds of young people who, like other teenagers, want to have special memories in their high school years.

It takes so many caring people to come together to make this work, and Bishop Gorman is very proud to be a part of it.

Thank you for making this drive a success!

Vegans in need. Social Workers submit applications on behalf of their clients and our student-run Matthew 25 Board decides how the Mite Box funds will be distributed. We have assisted with numerous rent payments, medical bills, food items, and many other needs. We have also been able to assist several of our Bishop Gorman alumni with our Mite Box funds when they are facing huge financial dilemmas, and it is a great feeling to be able to take care of some of those from the Bishop Gorman family. Our students hear, firsthand, how their generosity has affected people in our community. When we receive thank you notes, they are read anonymously at announcement time, and have a tremendous impact on our students. For the 2015-2016 school year, Mite Box is on track to bring in approximately $60,000!

Thank you Gaels for your generosity!

BGHS Class of 1992

What made you decide to devote your life to teaching Theology? There were three main causes or moments in my decision. First, teaching Theology is a combination of what my parents did and thus what my siblings and I grew up seeing. Our dad directed Catholic Charities and our mom taught grade school (at St. Anne’s mostly). The second was as an undergrad at Georgetown. My major was Foreign Service, however Theology had the best solutions to political problems, primarily in making unrestricted, divine love the foundation of one’s life. The third was in 1999, when I was teaching at Gorman and my best friend died. I thought, “If he could die, I could die, and if I could die, why live?” I also had Lyme disease at the time, so in light of mortality, I decided to spend as much time as I could reading and discussing Philosophy and Theology.

What was your experience like as a Bishop Gorman student? What is your favorite BGHS memory? I really enjoyed my time at Gorman, but there were tough times too, both academically and socially. I was glad to see when I taught there, that students were involved with different things and got along with others of diverse interests and abilities. My favorite memories are of conversations with friends and teachers, both in and out of class. I’m grateful, for the humor and love that pervaded Fr. Bibeault’s and Sr. Forster’s science classes, as well as for the probing discussions in Mr. Halpin and Mrs. Crawford's English classes.

PhD

alumni spotlight

Mark T. Miller,

Who was your biggest inspiration and why?

DR. MARK T. MILLER, PhD UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO Associate Professor of systematic theology and Associate Director of the St. Ignatius Institute. His interests focus on anthropology, soteriology, political theology, Trinity, and Christology.

His PhD is from Boston College, and he received his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University.

There’s no way I could pick one person.

My parents, naturally, have been the most

important influences on my life. They were, and still are, great models of Christian love and self-sacrifice. My older sister, Theresa,

was always a model of excellence. Taekwondo instructors were inspirational in that they always knew how hard to push us to where we would stretch but not break. They also instilled a “no excuses” sense of self-discipline. The Viatorians and sisters at Gorman, as well as the Jesuits at Georgetown, and especially the diocesan priest, Raymond Kemp, provided invaluable models of a holiness that was also delighted by all kinds of people and all parts of life.

Professor Miller has taught at the Ateneo de Zamboanga, the University of Asia and the Pacific, Boston College, and Georgetown University as well as at Mt. Calvary Elementary School in Forestville, MD and Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, NV. At USF he teaches in Catholic Studies, Philippine Studies, and the St. Ignatius Institute.

Tell us about your family and living in San Francisco. I’ve been blessed in so many ways – education, health, career, family, travel – but recently I’ve been thinking that no matter what happens, as long as I have my wife and kids,

Mark enjoys Taekwondo and coaches the USF Taekwondo Club and Team. He has one sister Theresa (Miller) DeGioia '85 and two brothers, John Miller '96 and Paul Miller '93. He is married to Eveline and together they have two children.

What role did Bishop Gorman play in helping you choose a path for your faith life? What about your career path? The general education I had at Gorman helped make "Perhaps the most concrete me interested in learning as much about the advice I give is to not worry too world as I could. For college, I chose Foreign much about making money or Service, because I thought it would be the broadest major possible, one that would teach winning honors. If we do what me the most about the world. I ended up in we love, we will work hard at it.

Theology because I found it had the most If we work hard, we will do well wisdom about the world and where it’s headed.

So I think the most helpful thing Gorman did for me was toand be rewarded with money, promote learning from all sources. honor, etc."

I’ll be happy. San Francisco is a diverse, interesting city with great weather and natural beauty. We just bought a house here in walking distance to a St. Anne’s parish and school, which is neat because I grew up in St. Anne’s parish and school in Las Vegas. It’s also close to USF, where I have tenure and help direct our Great Books program. But part of me still wants to go home to Las Vegas and help improve Catholic education there. I’ve been fortunate enough to be involved in early plans for a Cristo Rey High School in Las Vegas, and we’ll see what God has in store.
