2021-22 Bishop Miege Annual Report

GREETINGS! PEACE

Thank you so much for the incredible support for our Bishop Miege High School community. We are truly blessed by the Holy Spirit which allows us to continue to provide the formation of our students. Our sincere gratitude is extended to all our donors who partner with our faculty and staff to enhance the spiritual growth through academic rigor and prayerful stewardship.

As the Gospel expresses in John 15:5, Jesus Christ is the vine with which all our blessings come. It is in these Christ-based relationships that incoming freshmen are welcomed by our teachers and fellow students. The Herd System has flourished in its sixth year to provide our core values in faith, community and service. Thank you to our incredible adult leaders and outstanding seniors that lead the 32 Faith Families, 8 Herds, One Miege.

Academic Rigor continues to guide our students to explore their talents, identify their strengths, and allow their spiritual compass to guide them. Bishop Miege introduced Academic Communities this school year. The seven Academic Communities allow students to experience authentic learning which is related to a community theme. However, students are not tracked into one community but may change them to expand their involvement into other areas.

Our celebrations include a National Merit Semi-Finalist, four Commended Scholars, and additional students recognized as National African American and National Hispanic Scholars. In the spring of 2022, an incredible 74% of our 664 students achieved either First or Second Honors for our school’s Honor Roll. Kudos to the hard work of our students and the dedication of Bishop Miege’s faculty for success in the classroom.

Our Project Lead the Way Engineering track expanded outside the classroom as students participated in the city’s ACE Mentor program. This opportunity matches high school students with area architects, construction management, and engineers to collaborate in areas providing introductory experiences to explore careers in these fields. Two Miege students received scholarships to apply to their next level of education.

This year we introduced, Fully Alive, a new initiative which provides critical guidance in the areas of social

and emotional support. The program has topics aimed to promote wellness in all aspects of life, combining the resources we have in the building with some of the best research based practices and resources in the Metro. In keeping with our mission of being Christ-centered, the overall objective for Fully Alive is derived from the St. Irenaeus quote, “The glory of God is a human being fully alive.”

Once again, I humbly report that our financial picture continues to be strong. The Miege community’s support for the Annual Fund, the Stag Strut, and the Auction continue to be an essential element of our school operation which helps every student every day. The Bridge to the Future Scholarship Program continues to be vital to operating our ministry. The scholarship endowment fund continues to allow many of our parents to afford sending their children to our school.

The school’s need to support Miege families in funding a high school Catholic education continues to increase. Nearly 42% of Miege families benefit from the generosity of so many that value Catholic education. An infinite amount of gratitude to all of our donors for supporting our high school ministry.

The following pages will provide evidence of the support of financial gifts which continue to support scholarships, academic programs, extracurricular activities and more. On behalf of the administration, faculty, staff and students, THANK YOU for your time, talent and treasures that continue to benefit our community. We welcome your prayers and support as we continue this journey in the formation of our students.

Gratefully, Randy Salisbury President

BE WITH YOU...

On behalf of the administration, faculty, staff and students, THANK YOU for your time, talent and treasures that continue to benefit our community.

The Bishop Miege Board of Trustees are members of the community, approved by the Archbishop, to manage the activities of the school. In 2010, each high school in Johnson County became their own not-for-profit corporation, with the Board of Trustees responsible for ensuring the mission of the school is consistent with the Catholic Church and the school’s finances and assets are managed appropriately. In addition, the Board of Trustees is responsible for hiring a President. Each Trustee serves a three-year term with a maximum of two consecutive terms.

NOTES

M iege C haplain h and C rafts an a ltar for the s C hool

Fr. Anthony Mersmann, Miege chaplain, felt the school needed a sturdier altar for all school Masses held in the gym. Not one to shy away from a little hard work, Father took a few days off over the summer and built the altar with the help of a relative who has a shop in his basement

Father Mersmann learned carpentry skills through a high school shop class

and from hands-on experience renovating spaces. His largest renovation was turning a spare bedroom at the Holy Cross rectory into a chapel. This project required a complete demo and rebuild. The altar he found for the Holy Cross chapel was his inspiration for the new Miege altar; it’s a beautiful addition for our all-school Masses.

There is a murder to be solved at Bishop Miege High School. And it’s up to Mary Beth Summers’ biomedical science students to determine the culprit.

“We have someone who’s died,” explained Summers. “And then we have some unknown samples from the crime scene.”

On the day of The Leaven’s visit, students wereanalyzing which samples are blood and what blood

types are present.

That should help them narrow down their list of suspects.

“And then,” said Summers, “they’re developing an experiment to try to test blood splatter.”

That will determine the cause of death.

Not to worry, this murder is simulated; but the lessons learned are not.

As these young sleuths engage in the science behind crime-scene investigation, they will discover far more than the culprit in this

whodunit.

They’ll find out if they have an interest in forensic science, phlebotomy or any number of professions in the biomedical science field.

On the way to that important discovery, they’re having some fun.

This class is a hands-on teenage dream of blood sampling, fingerprinting and learning how maggots and flies can help determine time of death.

Welcome to the newest path in the Bishop Miege Project Lead the Way

Kaiya Key and Jack Elder prepare their simulated blood samples to determine blood type.

(PLTW) program — biomedical science joins the already successful paths of computer science and engineering.

Forensic science techniques is the first unit on this path.

The second is clinical care in which students will learn more about the professions of physicians and nurses.

The third unit is called “outbreak.”

“It has to do with a bacterial outbreak that occurs in the hospital,” explained Summers. “Students have to figure out how patients are being moved through the hospital and where a patient might have been exposed. “So, they’re going to see a little more of the research side.”

Next year, a course in human body systems will be added.

Bishop Miege is seeing a surge in student interest and involvement with these experiential lessons in science.

“We love Project Lead the

Way because it’s so handson,” said principal Maureen Engen.

This new path was added based on student interest.

Biomedical science instructor, Mary Beth Summers, points out to Kaiya Delgado (left) and Sammy Jo Kirk how some of the simulated blood samples look cloudy, indicating what specific blood type is represented.

Adriana Galvan inspects a blood sample during class.

“We did a survey,” said Engen. “Thirty percent of the students that completed it were interested in health science and medicine.”

PLTW courses provide a rigorous, project-based curriculum aimed at building problem-solving, teamwork, communication and leadership skills.

“It’s important that we’re preparing students to enter these fields,” said Matt Peterie, Director of 21st Century Learning. “And we want them to have that foundation in Catholic education with stewardship at the center of it.

“At the core, that’s what gave us the motivation to build out these pathways.”

Any time a teacher wants to teach a PLTW class, they have to go through an intense two-week summer training program.

“When I did my training this summer,” said Summers, “we talked about the ethics piece.

“I was glad I could do a little extra research [into] what the Catholic view is, to speak to that as well,” she added.

With Summers’ help, Bishop Miege now has a HOSA (Heathcare Occupations Students of America) club.

“It’s a nationally recognized club,” she said. “I try to get professionals from the fields of health care brought in to Miege so my students can hear from

different health care professionals.

“A lot of the speakers are former graduates who are still practicing their faith,” she continued.

As students discern their interests, they also have the opportunity to join one of seven academic communities at Bishop Miege. The communities span every career interest, including one in health sciences and medicine.

“The big picture with [these communities],” said Peterie, is they “help students connect their interests, strengths and passions to what they may be doing after their time here at Bishop Miege.

“It’s not locking them into a career; it’s helping them find their path.”

John Cosse and Jane Werner working together during their experiment.

“It’simportantthatwe’re preparing students to enter these fields,” said Matt Peterie, Director of 21st Century Learning.

Students interested in biomedical science now have a clear path at Bishop Miege that will help them discern the best way to utilize their God-given gifts in that field.

“We want to provide a high-profile space for teachers to deliver project-based learning experiences,” said Engen, “because it helps students develop and practice essential skills.

“It also lends itself to helping them figure out what they are going to be good at post-high school.”

The future is definitely at the heart of the biomedical science pathway.

“I’m excited we can create that foundation here,” said Peterie. “We can light that fire so students can go out in the world and serve Christ and build up the kingdom by the work they’re going to do.”

STAGS HAPPILY EVER AFTER!

Mike Thomas, a member of the 1972 State Football Championship team and Stag cheerleader Nina (LaGue) are 1973 Miege graduates. They were high school sweethearts and will celebrate their 46th wedding anniversary this December.

Mike recently retired from teaching and coaching for 45 years. They have three children and are the proud grandparents of 15 grandchildren.

Hoops for a Great Cause

Joe Pedrotti 3vs3 Basketball

Last June, a wonderful celebration of life took place at the First Annual 3 vs. 3 Basketball Tournament in Memory of Joe Pedrotti, class of 2017. Family, friends, classmates, and business associates of the Pedrotti family, expressed their love and support on the basketball court. There was strong competition, a great deal of laughter, and a few muscle aches, as fifty-three teams battled it out all morning with fans cheering from the stands. The event included men’s and women’s divisions; ultimately four teams were named champions of their respective divisions. The tournament raised over $31,000; all proceeds were directed to the Joseph Michael Pedrotti STEM Memorial Fund at Bishop Miege.

Tournament

One of Joe’s motto’s for life was: “Let’s get involved”. Marc and Angie established the Joseph Michael Pedrotti STEM Memorial Fund in 2021 after Joe’s tragic death from a shallow water drowning accident. True to Joe’s motto, the Pedrotti’s “got involved” to give back to Miege in a way that would honor Joe’s memory. Joe excelled in his engineering-related classes at Miege. At the time of his accident, he was just a semester away from graduating with a degree in engineering from the University of Missouri. The memorial fund will be used to further STEM-related education at Miege, including a STEM Innovation Center planned for construction in the summer of 2023. This project will benefit Miege students for years to come.

Robert Terence “Terry” English

Terry English, a staple at Bishop Miege and in the Kansas City high school sports community passed away on October 11th.

Coach English meant so much to Bishop Miege and Miege played an incredible role in his life, being a graduate of the class of 1968, returning to teach for 30+ years, and coach for 45 years.

English was named the 2020-21 MaxPreps National Coach of the Year. His career began in 1976, starting a girls basketball program at Bishop Miege that has turned into a dynasty with a career record of 910-168, racking up 23 state titles (plus one in baseball). He had a tremendous impact on many young peoples lives along the way.

Coach English did not like the spotlight. After being told how great of a career he was having he constantly deflected the praise by saying “we have a great group of kids that work so hard”.

His competitiveness showed in everything he did, from how fierce he coached on the sideline, to the gentle conversations he had with officials, to not being able to keep him seated during the last minute of a close JV game, Coach English instilled that fire in his teams.

“I wish every one of my teams could be in here to tell them how much I loved them and how thankful I am for each and everyone of them”.

Terry ended his head coaching career with a state championship In the locker room after the game, holding back tears, he told his team and their parents “I wish every one of my teams could be in here to tell them how much I loved them, and how thankful I am for each and everyone of them”.

First State Championship Team - The 1977 varsity team that kicked-off Terry English’s incredible coacing career at Bishop Miege.

Coach English will be deeply missed by his family, colleagues, friends, students, and players. He demonstrated commitment, grit, and love as a husband, father, educator, and coach. His accomplishments and more importantly, his example, will endure for generations to come at Bishop Miege.

Terry and Susie’s children are all graduates of Bishop Miege: Mark (’96), Greg (’99), Jeff (’02) and Jenny (’05)

Dear Miege Friends,

Our school community should take great pride in the impressive level of stewardship that is reflected in this Annual Report. Once again this year, our students, current and past parents, alumni and friends have exceeded all expectations of generosity in support of our mission to guide our students on their faith journey while providing them with the highest quality educational experience possible.

Among all of the successful fundraising efforts this past year, two stand out for the significant way they both solidified the present and helped secure a bright future for our school.

This past summer we completed phase one of our facility improvement plan. A great deal of exterior work and HVAC replacements was part of the work along with two projects that were funded by last spring’s Auction Fund a Need. The extraordinary generosity that was displayed at our Auction funded the reworking of our south entry in order to enhance security and the renovation of our commons. This recording-breaking support for the Fund a Need was far more than expected. Once again, the kindness of the Miege community made it possible for these needed improvements to be realized.

The success of the Bridge to the Future (BTF) Scholarship Fund is also a huge source of pride. Last year the Fund awarded $591,400 in tuition support to 282 students (42% of our enrollment) – both record numbers. We are so blessed to have the resources to assist such a large number of families while sustaining a solid level of enrollment.

Because this Fund is essential to keeping Miege strong in the future, the Foundation Board conducted a review last November of the long term projected needs of the BTF scholarship endowment. Their review of the

trends– as shown in the following pages– made it clear that in the absence of any further efforts to increase support, the endowment would essentially become a sinking fund as it is drawn down by the anticipated future annual scholarship support.

Consequently, the Foundation Board adopted a plan to raise $5 million in additional commitments so that the endowment can reach a level of sustainability. Last year’s goal was to get the drive off to a solid start through the private phase of giving. The very generous support of a few individuals has resulted in $2.9 million of commitments.

While we rejoice in the outstanding initial success of this Bridge to the Future drive over the past twelve months, our goal is to receive pledges and gifts that will help us reach our $5 million target by the end of 2023. We look forward to growing our scholarship endowment in the coming year to a level that will sustain the tuition support needed by our families for decades to come.

Please know your kindness and support is making a real difference in the lives of our students and families. We could not do this without you.

Blessings to you and your family.

Gratefully,

Joe Passantino Foundation President

“I love Miege because both of my parents and all of my siblings went here. Miege welcomed me as a freshman and built upon that relationship throughout my years attending here! The community at Miege, built through sports, clubs, and the Herd System is unparalleled compared to any other community I have been a part of.

None of this would be possible without our very generous donors and we are beyond grateful for all of them!”

- Ally, Class of 2023

We initially projected the need to award $500,000 in scholarships per year. That is no longer true either, as $611,000 will be awarded this year and that amount will continue to increase annually. 2.

As tuition levels continue to grow (about 4% each year), the number of families needing assistance and the amount of scholarship funds required to meet their need is also increasing.

Kansas State Football Player Heard Call to Seminary on the Field

How does God call a football player?

Especially one who is from a family that is K-State football royalty?

On a football field, of course.

Landry Weber, a wide receiver at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas, said he always felt called to the priesthood, even as a child. But then God sent him specific signs.

In one, he said he had begun dating a girl and felt conflicted about it. “I was lying on the practice field in the middle of the night, staring up at the sky at 2 am,” he told the Register.

He asked God directly: “Do you want me to be with this girl or do you want me to be with you?” At that moment he saw a cross appear in the stars...”

There are nearly 500,000 college athletes, and of those, about 2% will embark on a professional sports career. The others will, as the NCAA says, “go pro in something other than sports.”

Landry, has gone “pro” in something very different from the gridiron: He’s entering seminary and hopes eventually to be ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kansas.

Weber told CNA that while he initially began feeling a call to the priesthood during his freshman year of college, he “didn’t really want much to do with it.” But as the feelings continued, he reached out to a priest at his college parish, St. Isidore’s. The

priest

Landry Weber, Miege Class of 2017 and K-State graduate, is currently attending the St. John Vianney Seminary in Denver for the Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kansas.

Exerpts from National Catholic Register by Tom Hoopes writer in residence at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, and National Catholic Register, writer Christine Rousselle

gave him materials to read and Weber prayed, went on retreats, and continued his discernment process.

While discerning, Weber has maintained a devotion to the Blesssed Virgin Mary, saying that she has “been a huge part of my life.” He consecrated himself to Mary twice in college, saying they were “very powerful experiences both times” and that his Marian consecration helped with his discernment journey.

About 18 months into his discernment, Weber came to the conclusion that he likely had a vocation to the priesthood.

“So probably after a year and a half or so of discernment was when I was like, ‘Okay, I think this is something that I’m being called to do,’” he said. However, he decided that he wanted to finish out his college football career before entering the seminary.

Weber’s career ended with a 42-20 victory over Louisiana State University in the Texas Bowl. It was at that game where news of his vocation reached a national stage.

Sports business analyst and former ESPN writer Darren Rovell tweeted, ‘He’ll be entering the priesthood when his college career is finished.’ — Announcer Tom Hart on Kansas State

wide receiver Landry Weber. “I’ve never heard that line watching a football game before.”

Unfortunately, Weber suffered a high ankle sprain on his second play of the game, cutting short what he already knew would be his last football game. He told CNA that the injury was a reminder of the bigger picture.

“[Getting injured] was tough, but it helped me a lot to just acknowledge that I never deserved to play in that game in the first place,” he said...

Weber’s parents, Stan (a K-State quarterback), and his mother, Nancy, (a K-State cheerleader) were “very supportive” about his plans to enter the seminary, as were his teammates at Kansas State.

“I was a little nervous to share [seminary plans] with them, but when I did share it they were all very supportive of it and surprised,” he said. His teammates peppered him with questions, mainly about how he would be giving up the possibility of marriage.

“And so, a lot of questions, but really, a lot of support. I was surprised by how they thought it was a very cool thing that I would do something different,” said Weber.

“That‘s something I would say that I love about the game of football and the guys on a football team. It’s very much a melting pot of guys from all over the country — very diverse, melting pot of guys that come from different backgrounds and different walks of life, and everyone loves each other for who they are within the team.”

Weber drew parallels between being part of a storied football program to his potential role as a priest.

“Something cool about football is that when you play college football, you‘re a part of something that’s bigger than you,” he said, adding that people plan vacations and their weekends around Kansas State football. “It’s a ginormous part of their lives, and you get to be on the field, responsible for playing this game and providing people joy and bringing people together.”

The idea of becoming a priest and the feeling of entering seminary is a “very similar feeling,” said Weber.

“I get to be a part of something that’s much bigger than me, and I get to help out in a way that I’m very unworthy of being a part of,” he said.

Landry’s mother Nancy is a Theology teacher at Miege She and her husband Stan prayed daily for all their children, “that they would know with clarity what vocation they were called to by God and that they would have the courage to follow God’s call.” At the beginning of his sophomore year of college he told them he might be called to the priesthood.

Nancy believes the formation he received at Miege gave him a solid foundation in his faith and this foundation was essential in his ability to be open to a possible call to the priesthood.
