A Time to Reflect

The Chaminade tradition of retreats is alive and well—even through the last two years of COVID. For staff and students, it’s an integral part of a Chaminade education, a means of growing in understanding—of oneself, one’s peers, and one’s faith.

New Horizons for Coach Croson

For someone who started coaching high school varsity football in 1978, the coming fall sports season may feel very different.

Soaring to New Heights

Chaminade’s capital campaign is underway. As our school celebrates 70 years of excellence in Catholic education, we are hard at work preparing for our next 70 years.

Honor Roll of Donors

Students are our number one priority. Gifts to the 2021-2022 Chaminade Fund are directly invested in our students and serve as a testament to the excellent educational experience they receive.

2022 Commencements

Speech excerpts from middle school valedictorian, Mira Sume ’26, and high school valedictorian, Dylan Vergara ’22.

Founders Day

After a two-year hiatus, students, faculty, and staff from both Chaminade campuses gathered at the high school to celebrate the 32nd Annual Founders Day Mass.

Spotlight on Service

Volunteers are an essential part of Chaminade’s operations and are instrumental in the success of many of our programs and events. This year we honor some extraordinary volunteers with the 2022 Spotlight on Service Award.

Holly Berry

Holiday decorations for 2021 all packed away? It’s never too early to think about December 2022! This past December, Chaminade’s luncheon and shopping boutique was revived and is bigger than ever.

Alumni Spotlights

Chaminade highlights three outstanding alumni pursuing their passions and succeeding in their endeavors. Read how the wilderness calls Christina N. Zdenek ’03, how Terrell Newby ’13 went from football to parachuting, and about the wide, wide world of Madison Margot ’15.

Saturday, April 9, 2022, was an evening to remember as Chaminade’s gala bene t and auction was reimagined into an exciting new signature fundraising event, EagleFest! e inaugural outdoor spring festival was held on the West Hills campus and welcomed more than 500 parents, alumni, and friends who enjoyed a variety of delicious food, wine, brew, and spirit booths from 23 local exhibitors. e entertainment for the evening included live music from the band Bad Habit, alumna singer Madison Margot ’15, and members of the Class of 2022 as part of the Senior Show.

Guests raised funds for the Fund-A-Need initiative, “Come Sail Away,” which supports the installation of shade sails at popular outdoor gathering spaces on both campuses and picnic tables to complete the space for our students. ese enhancements will bene t our students by giving them more shaded places to gather outside, protected from the sun, rain, and other elements. Students can use these spaces for activities, homework, reading, study groups, and eating lunch. Ultimately, the sails will positively impact our students’ well-being, mental health, academic achievement, and personal and social development.

We are indebted to our EagleFest co-chairs Helen Gri ths P’22, ’25 and Daniella Stark P’19, ’21, ’25. ey helped raise vital funds to ensure Chaminade provides our students with the best education possible. We are also grateful for all the volunteers who shared countless hours to make the very rst EagleFest a huge success. Mark your calendars and get ready for EagleFest 2023!

FULFILLING OUR MISSION

As we celebrate Chaminade’s 70th anniversary this year, it is a time for re ection as well as celebration. I look back at our history with gratitude for the Marianists who established our strong foundation as a Catholic, Marianist school, and for those advocates and supporters who left their legacy at Chaminade to ensure we can continue to ful ll our mission for generations of future Eagles. We celebrate a renewed commitment to making our school environment a place for our students to thrive, as they have endured a truly challenging few years.

I am honored to share with you some exciting plans for Chaminade’s next 70 years. Just prior to the pandemic, we developed a forward-thinking Two-Campus Master Plan that will transform our school and take it to an entirely new level in terms of academic excellence, safety and security, and student wellness. e proposed infrastructure changes will provide our students with a safer, more supportive environment, as well as help ensure Chaminade remains at the forefront of Catholic education for years to come.

Phase I of the Two-Campus Master Plan focuses on transforming the campuses by modernizing 1960s structures through strategic replacement and renovation, providing new and enhanced campus facilities, and improving the safety and security on both campuses by creating more restrictive access to student areas.

To make Phase I of the Two-Campus Master Plan a reality, we have embarked on a $7.5 million “Soaring to New Heights” capital campaign to raise philanthropic funds toward the $39 million project. I am grateful to our campaign chairs Jay Paul Leupp ’81 and Kim W. Ulrich P’04, ’06, ’11 and the campaign cabinet who have helped lead the e ort. I am humbled by the generosity of the Fritz B. Burns Foundation who gave $3 million towards the project – the largest single philanthropic gift in the history of Chaminade. We have also received generous gifts from other members of the Chaminade family, and I hope you will join them. We have been blessed with much to celebrate in our 70th year.

I invite you to read more about our exciting plans for our school in this issue of the magazine. You can also learn more by visiting us at Chaminade.org/soaring. Everyone who makes a campaign donation will be participating in the success of Chaminade’s future – much in the way that the generosity of past donors and families helped make our school what it is today. With your help, we can indeed “soar to new heights” and continue our tradition of excellence well into the next century.

I welcome you to join us in celebrating our 70 years of providing an excellent Catholic, Marianist education to over 12,000 students who have gone on to love, learn, and lead in our world. ank you for your support of our Eagles now and into the future.

A Time to Reflect

4 CHAMINADE NOW

The Chaminade tradition of retreats is alive and well—even through the last two years of COVID. For staff and students, it is an integral part of a Chaminade education, a means of growing in understanding—of oneself, one’s peers, and one’s faith. Campus ministry educators enthusiastically report that students of all ages and faiths benefit from this time of reflection.

Each retreat has its own theme, unique curriculum, and goals and activities.

There are opportunities for students to share, experience team building, form friendships, meditate, self-reflect as they write in their journals, and participate in art projects—plus, eat a lot!

“You have to feed them and keep them well-fed!” Amanda Wilkerson ’03, director of student activities, formerly high school director of retreat programs, explained.

SUMMER 2022 5

Middle schoolers are introduced to retreats in one-day experiences

Kate Beskid ’00, middle school campus ministry director, and her administrative assistant, Gail Glasser, conduct oncampus retreats for students in grades 6-8. ey are assisted by Chaplain Fr. Mike Chiuri, S.M., and Bro. Adam Becerra, fsp, DMin, vice president of mission and strategic initiatives. For 6th, 7th, and 8th grade retreats, teachers help run di erent stations, ice breakers, and arts and crafts activities. It is a true group e ort in the Marianist tradition. Students learn through a variety of age-appropriate targeted activities, games, and meditation.

For 6th through 9th graders, retreats are mandatory and hosted on campus. High schoolers in grades 10 through 12 may opt to participate in o -campus retreats, and most eagerly sign up. e senior retreat is especially well-attended.

e 6th graders’ one-day retreat is held in September, with the I am Imago Dei…I am Pure Gift theme focused on being created in God’s image. Students are challenged to gure out what makes them special or unique.

“ ey gain a sense of family, make new friends, and meet teachers they may not have in class,” explained Mrs. Beskid.

At the 7th grade level, the retreat is usually held the second semester. In their planning, sta considers the developmental stage of a seventh grader (students, for example, tend to be a little more grown up and may have more issues with friends). Sometimes novels they read in English class, or other curricular o erings serve as the basis for discussions. e retreat theme is I Choose Courage

“We try to show them how they can be courageous in their lives and that sometimes making good moral decisions requires great courage,” Mrs. Beskid said.

At the 8th grade level, on the Journey themed retreat held late in the school year, students focus not only on their Chaminade journey but on their faith journey. ey re ect on the growth they have experienced in their years at Chaminade. Students create squares they sew together that become an altar cloth for their graduation ceremony.

There’s value to be had, no ma er what your religious beliefs are.
- Amanda Wilkerson ‘03

High School Retreats are more immersive experiences

In the 9th grade Pillars retreat, students are introduced to the Marianist charism. ey learn to take pride in living out the charism and values of what makes Chaminade distinctly Catholic. is retreat is for one day and is always held on campus during the rst semester.

In grade 10 the Lumos retreat focuses on nding one’s inner light and sharing it with the world. It is a three-day overnight retreat held in various beautiful locations. And for grade 11, the retreat Emmaus is a “retreat of surprises” and joy. A community-building

retreat, Emmaus focuses on recognizing Christ in everyday life and strengthening the Chaminade family spirit. About two-thirds of the students in each grade, or roughly 200 students, attend their three-day retreat.

While campus ministry creates content and administers the retreats, various Marianist Educators direct and attend them as part of the teams. Small groups are led by students’ own peers and alumni in a structure that intentionally develops leadership skills among the trained group leaders.

“ ere’s value to be had, no matter what your religious beliefs are,” Mrs. Wilkerson explained.

The Chaminade retreat program has helped deepen my relationship with God. Each retreat is beautifully put together and planned by campus ministry where they prioritize each student’s individual journey. Retreats have been an important piece of my Chaminade experience. They are the perfect balance of fun, prayer, reflection. - Carelle Enrique ‘22
SUMMER 2022 7

Kairos—students’ final retreat

For 12th graders, Kairos can be one of the most meaningful experiences during their time at Chaminade. Building on the meaning of the Greek word kairos—an opportunity, season or tting time—it is a propitious moment for decision or action, sometimes a moment of crisis. For most students, it can be an intensely emotional experience, a special time to re ect on who they are and who they want to be.

Between 250 and 275 seniors attend the four-day Kairos. Each retreat has a follow-up “retreat reunion,” according to Shawna Sedik, director of campus ministry at the high school. It is usually held three weeks after the retreat. At the reunion, students watch a slide show or share pictures of their retreat time.

e long-popular Kairos has been held at Chaminade for more than 40 years. A program used in many Catholic schools across the U.S., it allows for each school to adapt the basic elements of the program to its own school’s culture. In the senior retreat, students are asked to re ect on their six earlier years of retreats. e retreat helps them make a connection to other students, and/or helps them develop to become the best versions of themselves.

Leading retreats at Chaminade was a mindopening experience for me to guide my fellow peers and classmates on a walk through faith and community. Through the activities and discussions I led with my peers, I learned valuable lessons and stories of what it truly means to be human.
- Dylan Vergara ‘22

Finding joy

Mrs. Sedik and Mrs. Wilkerson take high school students to retreat centers such as Mater Dolorosa in Sierra Madre. “We like to go to beautiful places so they can connect with nature,” Mrs. Sedik explained. “ e retreats provide the students with spiritual, social, and emotional connections. ey are essential opportunities to disconnect and look at themselves. ere is also joy. We try to create joyful, God- lled experiences.”

Educators attest to how the retreats allow students the opportunity to connect with other students. ey get to know people they might not otherwise encounter at school. ey learn to look beyond the surface, outside their classes, clubs, and sports.

Chaminade sta considers parents as their student’s primary educators, as they can encourage and continue the conversations at home that started on retreat. Mrs. Beskid, Mrs. Sedik, and Mrs. Wilkerson see their role as “planting the seed” and hope parents will continue to “water” it.

“Whatever we can do to help them, that’s our job,” said Mrs. Beskid. “We help, teach and mentor as much as we can.”

“For the short period of time [of each retreat], bonds are created. Kids see that happen, and it is magical,” Mrs. Wilkerson added.

Light bulb moments

Marianist Educators frequently see students experience what they call “light bulb moments.” Students learn they are capable of being loved, and of making a new friends. Having the retreat time together gives them the opportunity to make those connections.

“We plant seeds,” Mrs. Sedik explained. “A lot of the fruit of the experiences we may never see, but it’s allowing God to ourish in that space. Every student takes something away.” Retreat sta also survey students afterward.

Mrs. Wilkerson and her brother both attended Kairos as seniors at Chaminade. As she explained, the students “work on relationships with God, with others, and with themselves. We talk a lot about living kairos in a cronos world.” And many alumni parents who have been on Kairos have found they are still a ected by that experience. It is something they want for their children.

is more advanced senior retreat experience is funded by a special endowment established through the generosity of Campbell “C.B.” Long ’64 in memory of Fr. Charles J. Watters. Fr. Watters served as chaplain for an airborne brigade in South Vietnam in 1967. e Fr. Watters Scholarship ensures that all seniors can take part in Kairos, even those who otherwise might not be able to a ord the registration fee.

Retreats have been an opportunity to grow in my faith and take time to reflect away from the speed of life. I’ve always go en out of it just as much as I’ve put in and they are experiences that I will remember for a lifetime.

New Horizons forCoach Croson

Coach Croson’s career at Chaminade began in 1989. He had previously coached at Southern Utah State University, Pierce College, and several high schools. He served as Chaminade’s athletic director from 1993-98 and as head football coach in 1998 and 1999. After leaving to coach at Birmingham High School for several years, he returned to Chaminade in 2009 to a program that had won only two games the previous year. Since then, the Eagles have been ranked among the top 10 teams by the Los Angeles Daily News every week since September 2009. By 2013, the Eagles had won their rst CIF and state titles. e team won the Mission League in 2012, 2017, and 2020 and has ranked in the California State top 50 (out of 1,100 schools) every year since 2010. at includes four top 25 and one top- ve nish. It’s no wonder that Croson was named California State High School Coach of the Year in 2013.

Coach Croson’s legacy at Chaminade includes the state championship and much more. He’s proud of the “awesome families and kids” he was able to work with.

Ryan Stevens ’19

thinks about Coach Croson a lot. He graduated in May from Johns Hopkins in three years. Armed with degrees in applied mathematics/data statistics and economics, he will play his final season this fall for Johns Hopkins while pursuing a master’s in finance.

For Ryan, Coach was special because he really cares about the kids he works with.

“He didn’t coach just to win. He coached to make better people,” Ryan said. “He always used a quote to get through to us. One example was: ‘it’s not about the size of the dog in a fight but the size of the fight in the dog.’”

This, and other quotations Coach Croson used, inspired players to do their best. That included beating the highly ranked Long Beach Polytechnic High School in Ryan’s sophomore year, a memorable victory he refers to as a real “David and Goliath” story.

“Coach was also progressive in his teachings. He taught us to use visualization to reach our goals. I use it a lot in college. I’ve mentally thrown a pass or executed a play before I actually do it. The technique not only helps me on the football field but in my classes as well,” Ryan said. Ryan also liked Coach’s emphasis on chipping away at the little things before they become big problems. He sees Coach as one who teaches kids how to be a leader, to step up to any challenge and succeed.

“My relationship with him now is a lot different than when he was my coach. Initially, it was mentor to student; now it’s friend to friend. He made a big impact on my life. He’s a guy I look up to, and I always want to keep in contact with him. Maybe we will even go fishing together some day,” Ryan said.

Just back from Costa Rica—his first real vacation in 40+ years—Ed Croson is one happy guy. For someone who started coaching high school varsity football in 1978, the coming fall sports season may feel very di erent, however.
“He didn’t coach just to win. He coached to make better people.”
- Ryan Stevens ‘19
SUMMER 2022 11

“I get to know them when they are coming out of the eighth grade,” he observed. “When they graduate, they are young men. But the relationship doesn’t stop there. I have a lot of players in college right now and a couple in the NFL, one in his 11th year. With kids all over the country, including four in the Ivy League, I want to go see them play,” he said.

One of those is Ryan Stevens ’19, a quarterback currently playing for Johns Hopkins. Another is Matt Holly ’94, a player and coach at Chaminade who now works as the o ensive coordinator at Moorpark College. ere’s Michael Wilson ’18, who serves as team captain at Stanford, and Brad Kaaya ’14, who set records at Miami and spent three years in the NFL. And there’s Marc Merrill ’98, who applies lessons from

Coach every day at the video game company he co-founded.

Under Coach Croson, players learn a lot more than football. ey learn how to be self-reliant, think for themselves, and be responsible for their actions. “Since Chaminade is an academic school, these are guys able to do well in academics and play football at the highest level. is is with a Chaminade football schedule that one year was ranked the 17th most di cult schedule in high school football, nationally,” he said.

ere’s more: the Marianist a liation. With Mass every week for the team, it became part of their education.

“It’s a game day tradition and part of the football experience,” explained Coach Croson. Fr. Ted Ley ’58 traveled

with the team, providing a blessing or prayers appropriate to the speci c religious background of each player.

“All of this together made the guys that went to our school better,” Coach said. “ ey develop spiritually in whatever faith they have been raised in.”

Fr. Ted Ley added, “We help them shape their values, values that are very human. We want each player to feel a part of it. Ed is a good example to kids. ey learn the importance of sport, the importance of teamwork.”

“Ed always felt that was part of his calling. He was working in an institution that was creating athletes in many ways,” explained Fr. Ted. “At the end of Mass, each young man would pray for a speci c gift from God to enable him to play well in the game

"Ed is a good example to kids. They learn the importance of sport, the importance of teamwork."
- Fr. Ted Ley, S.M. ‘58
12 CHAMINADE NOW

Marc Merrill ’98 did not go on to play football after his years at Chaminade. However, he takes the lessons he learned from Coach Croson to work with him daily. As an entrepreneur and co-founder of Riot Games, a video game company, he’s essentially ‘coaching’ his 3,600 employees at 24 offices worldwide.

“Coach was the head football coach for my first two years at Chaminade, then the athletic director my last two years. He certainly was the individual in the athletic department who had the most impact on me, and my friends,” said Marc.

“He was a tremendously positive influence, and he set a high bar and cultural tone around his coaching. He was relatable and engaged in our lives, and he took the time to get to know us as individuals. He was really invested in the players.”

Marc recalled the t-shirt he and his teammates received when they first showed up for practice the summer before their freshman year. The t-shirt said: “Mental Toughness, Character in Action.”

But it was about more than mental toughness or tough love—it was about being strong so players could be there for others. Coach wanted them to be good people and learn solid life lessons. It was a high bar with high expectations, and people wanted to rise to those expectations.

“It was about developing oneself but not for oneself. It was for others, for your team,” said Marc. “We [teenage boys] aspired to be good men.”

Marc recalled “mental reps” in the weight room, where players learned meditation and mindfulness techniques that helped them on the field and later in life.

Coach helped them grow in character as they played football, stressing that they should try to be good, reliable, steady people, show up, and be part of the team. For Marc, as well as for his older brother Richard ’96, Coach embodied that orientation toward team and collaboration in something greater than oneself.

“One of the things I very much attribute to my experience in Chaminade football is that it’s amazing what you can accomplish if you aren’t worried about taking the credit,” said Marc. “Coach is a great man. I feel lucky to have worked with him and played for him.”

His experience under Coach Croson inspired Marc and his wife Ashley to pledge $550,000 recently to Chaminade’s “Soaring to New Heights” campaign in honor of Coach Croson and former campus minister Rudy Garcia, a lovely tribute to both men!

Matt Holly ’94 can’t say enough about his mentor.

Matt first met Coach Croson in 1990 when he was at the beginning of his freshman year at Chaminade. After baseball camp, Matt and several teammates were tossing a football around. As he came off the field, Coach hailed him. “Hey, you, do you play football?”

he asked him. Matt had thought he was going to Chaminade to play baseball, not football, but with his parents’ approval, he decided to try it out and played wide receiver and defensive back.

When he left Chaminade, Matt played for the University of San Diego. After graduation, he came back to Chaminade to coach with Croson for the 1999 season. After Croson returned to Chaminade in 2009, Matt immediately jumped at the chance to help him bring Chaminade back to a successful level. Within five years, they went from a mostly losing season to win the state title in 2013, earning Chaminade a place in USA Today’s top 20 high schools for football.

Today, Matt juggles a real estate career with family and coaching responsibilities. He is Moorpark College’s passing coordinator, and last fall coached there and at Chaminade.

“I’d do anything for Coach. He’s been a huge part of my life….He’s always been there for me, any time I had a question,” Matt said.

Coach encouraged Matt to think about being a head coach. Over the last two years, Matt earned a master's degree in coaching with an emphasis on exercise science. Their relationship has gone from coach to player, then from experienced coach to new coach. Now, somewhere along the line, they became colleagues.

"It’s not about football—it’s more about how you dig deep in life to achieve what you want.

“He saw something in me when I was 13 years old and I’ll be spending the next 35 years trying to prove it to him….I’m the coach I am now because of him,” Matt concluded.

Brad Kaaya ’14 was just 10 years old when his dad introduced him to Coach Croson and sought his advice on football for his son. Seven years later Brad was playing football for him. Transferring to Chaminade from Crespi in 2012, Brad found a fresh start with Coach.

“I transferred because I believed in what he was doing,” Brad said. At the time, Chaminade was not as renowned as it later became, but players were flocking to play for Coach.

From Chaminade, Brad went on to a football scholarship at the University of Miami. “I was possibly the only person to leave Chaminade early to enroll at a college. I had signed with Miami, and then their quarterback was injured. So I left high school in the middle of the spring semester of my senior year, starting as a freshman at U of M, but returning in June to attend my high school graduation.”

As a quarterback at Miami, he majored in screenwriting and set a few quarterback records. He was drafted by the Detroit Lions, then played for the Indianapolis Colts. A few years later, a spinal injury took his career in a different direction. Back in California, he worked at MGM Studios and then returned to graduate school, earning a master’s in film at USC. Since his return, he’s been working on scripts.

“The biggest take-away from being around Coach Croson is the value of preparation, and how preparation can take you a long way, even if talent stalls. If we ever did lose, it wasn’t from lack of preparation. With Coach Croson I really learned to take my preparation seriously—whether in college, in the NFL, or even writing scripts. Talent only takes you so far. You have to spend time putting in the work, doing things the right way.”

“I left Chaminade as prepared as anyone for all facets of life,” he said.

Tyler Fenwick ’95 goes a long way back with Coach Croson—all the way to his childhood in fact. Coach had been a friend and colleague of Tyler’s dad at Pierce College. Tyler met Coach when he was three years old.

When he graduated from Chaminade, Tyler played football for the University of New Mexico. From college, he went into coaching, working for Coach Croson at Birmingham High School. Next, Tyler coached at Occidental, then Minnesota State University at Moorhead, Missouri Western, and Missouri Science and Technology University, where MS&T’s team won the Mineral Water Bowl. Now he’s head coach at Southeastern Oklahoma State, where his team won the Live United Bowl in 2021.

“You never know where this profession’s going to take you,” Tyler said. “When I come back I always make sure I stay in touch with Coach Croson.” He credits Coach for showing him how important the foundations of the game are, as well as how to teach and coach.

“When I get together with Ed, we always have a good time. It’s always fun to listen to his experience and stories. He’s a good guy, he’s a good coach, he’s big-hearted, and he loves his players,” said Tyler. “His players really respect him. He does things in a way that gives players a sense of ownership by teaching them the skills to get to that point.”

“I credit a lot of my success to having been around him and learning from him. Whatever he does next, he’ll be successful. He does things the right way.”

“His players really respect him. He does things in a way that gives players a sense of ownership by teaching them the skills to get to that point.”

On the middle school campus, there will be a new science lab, as well as a new science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) lab. e middle school administration will relocate to a building that will serve as the main entry to the school, and a new entry courtyard and series of interior gates and fences to improve campus safety.

We have been very pleased with the response from key donors to date. It’s our sincerest hope that our Chaminade parents, alumni, faculty, and staff will join us in the final effort toward reaching our goal.

REFLECTIONS OF A GRADUATE

As soon as I stepped onto the Chaminade campus for my tour, I knew this place was special. There were so many interesting events and exciting opportunities, and I couldn’t wait to be a part of it all. And then I showed up for the rst day of sixth grade, and I was very, very lost. I only knew a handful of people at school and was totally overwhelmed.I was also one of the lucky students who couldn’t gure out how to open my locker during the rst week. I remember hearing the bell ring and watching all of the other students disappear. I was almost in tears, trying desperately to kick my locker into submission when Mr. Valentine strode around the corner like a combination-carrying superhero and rescued me. at same week, I had to ask an 8th grader in an orange leadership shirt to walk me to Mr. Jones’ room. I felt like the only one who didn’t know exactly where to go and what to do, but I know now that I was one of many.

We all started to nd our place in the Chaminade community, slowly but surely. And we started to nd each other—eating lunch together or walking to P.E. together or getting lollipops in Mr. Apablasa’s class together. And for most of us, Chaminade still seemed big, but once we found our people and our place, it wasn’t as easy to get lost. Our teachers and parents told us to try new things and for me, that meant learning to play the ute in band and joining the bullet journal club. For others, it meant trying a new sport, joining a leadership group, or auditioning for a show. It quickly became clear that at our school, at Chaminade, there was something for everyone and that there was room to take time to explore our talents and interests. Later that fall, we experienced our rst Chaminade retreat, Imago Dei, which means

“image of God” or “pure gift.” It was an opportunity to step back and recognize that we were a part of something bigger than just the groups of students who shared our schedules or interests. At the retreat, we felt like a part of our larger class for the rst time, playing games together and talking to people we had never met before. We came out of the retreat with a stronger sense of family spirit.

By the second semester, we all mostly knew our way around, mostly knew how to open our lockers without help, and together we were ready for whatever came next. What came next was… a lot. ings started to get weird fast. Suddenly, we were learning how to properly use hand sanitizer in language skills class and receiving the plans for distanced learning. Our last day on campus was a rainy ursday. We had to eat lunch indoors and didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to most of our friends. I went to the

band room with my classmate, sharing an umbrella and walking in silence because we didn’t know how long it would be until we saw each other again. And then, we were learning to be a Chaminade community from our bedrooms and kitchen counters, completing weekly assignments and projects with everevolving live lessons. e last weeks of school felt slow and unreal as we tumbled into summer.

By seventh grade, we had all become strangely adept at online learning. I would log into zoom school every morning at 8:29 wearing pajama pants and sitting in an o ce chair next to our fridge so I could easily roll to snacks in between classes. ough it would have been easy to let the entire year melt into a blur of Zoom windows and masks, our school’s amazing teachers, sta , and student leaders managed to keep us connected through activities such as lmed prayer services, house point

contests, virtual eld days, weekly Good Morning Chaminade videos, and so much more. Teachers would take extra time to make sure we not only had great classes, but also had a true Chaminade experience. Even though we couldn’t be in person, we managed to meet new people and their various siblings and dogs. It could have been a time of longing for the future or feeling stuck in the past. But the Chaminade family chose to nd the silver linings through our adaptation and creativity. anks to the e orts of the incredible administration, we were able to come back on campus for hybrid learning at the end of the year, socially distanced but closer than ever.

Suddenly, we were 8th graders and back on campus full-time. It was de nitely strange to go from being the youngest to the oldest, the tour member to the tour guide, the webbie to the WEB-leader, having skipped everything in the middle. Now, we were the ones in orange shirts, giving directions to lost students or showing them how to open their lockers. And as we went from class to class and

saw all of the new and familiar faces, there was this feeling of opportunity, an opportunity to revive and deepen old relationships and create new ones. We wanted to expand our circles, embrace activities, and dive head rst back into regular school life. My favorite part of being back was walking around the school and waving to people, seeing them smile behind their masks. Somehow, between reading Piecing Me Together, taking cap and gown photos, and working on our egg drop projects, we still found time to enjoy the little things, like eating chocolate chip cookies from the cafeteria with our friends or listening to Mr. Evans’ Journal Jams. We were ready to never take things, or people, for granted again. And of all the lessons we’ve learned at Chaminade, I think that might be the most important one.

At our 8th grade retreat, just a few weeks ago, we each decorated fabric squares which were made into a quilt, and I think this is the perfect metaphor for our time at Chaminade. We all arrived as individual pieces, un nished and a little rough around the edges, but we slowly

found where we t into the pattern. Some pieces were just starting to be sewn together when we were pulled apart at the seams, without the thread that used to hold us in place. Finally, this year, we were stitched back together into a quilt more beautiful than any single piece alone. Each of us brings our own special talents and gifts, and when we come together, we are greater than the sum of our parts, a lovely quilt.

is class has made it through a lot. And we have done it together. e last three years have proven that we can make it through anything. In the end, we are all on our own paths, but it was a joy to walk along this path together for a little while. I hope that whenever we have moments of feeling lost, we remember that we have a place in this quilt, a community of people to walk with in the rain, and a herd of smiling faces to wave to every day. is school, this place, and these people will always be a part of who we are. Congratulations to the 8th grade Class of 2022 and go Eagles!

32 CHAMINADE NOW

This school, this place, and these people will always be a part of who we are.

The Class of changemakers

As we gather as one community on Chaminade’s field, this moment serves as a daunting yet necessary inflection point of our lives. Our imagination and our hope have brought us to this moment where our future has now aligned itself with our present.

34 CHAMINADE NOW

The members of the Chaminade Class of 2022 are uniquely equipped to be intentional servant leaders who will tackle the issues that face our world because we embody the characteristics of great changemakers.

It is natural to be overwhelmed with joy for who we are becoming at the same time that we experience sadness as our time here has come to an end. We will never again walk to our favorite classes with our friends, experience the vitality of a school rally, or attend a sporting event cheering on our fellow classmates. However, this in ection point, characterized by both joy and sadness, is a unique moment that ultimately re ects our collective hope and personal ambitions. Let us celebrate that we are now the writers of our de nitions as well as our expectations. Starting today, we each begin our journey to compose our visions of who we truly are and what we can truly be.

As I begin my journey forward, I am also compelled to look for a moment behind me, to consider the boy I once was. What would he have said, had he known this moment was coming? My ve-year-old self could have never formed a dream where I would be on this stage at this moment. When I was ve years old, I faced challenges that I would not want any other veyear-old to endure. I su ered from lung issues where I was hospitalized, ghting for my life. My parents, both immigrants from the Philippines, wanted their son to have more opportunities than they could ever have and seeing their only child in a hospital room made them beg God for aid and healing in a time of immense despair.

Even at ve years old I wanted opportunities, too, because I fought hard to overcome my medical obstacles. After months of lost learning, I came back to school and I worked tirelessly, day by day, to prove that my education mattered, and that no obstacle could ever deter me from reaching my goals.

I share this story today because we, the Class of 2022, have faced obstacles in high school that could lead some people, not knowing any better, to call us “unfortunate.” We are pitied because we never had what is considered a normal high school experience. We are regarded as unlucky because we lost almost half of our time in high school to a pandemic that we could not control. It is true that none of us expected to spend half of our sophomore and junior years taking our classes online, and we did not expect our sports and some of our senior events to be postponed, but I believe our class should never be de ned as a group of students who were ill-fated.

SUMMER 2022 35

Fellow graduates, your sensitivity to other people’s needs, your boldness to act in defiance of the status quo, and your eagerness for change are attributes that you have the responsibility to share with the world.

Even when our class seemed to be separated from one another, I was moved by how we continued connecting with others through “ nd-a-friend.” I was inspired by clubs, such as Key Club and Midnight Mission, that reached out to the community and conducted volunteer work. I was encouraged to advocate for mental health awareness as P.E.A.C.E. Club taught us about the importance of building a safe community. I was touched by our class’ unity, as our culture clubs and Diversity Team highlighted the inclusive Chaminade community that we come from.

Even in our obstacles, our class persevered. e Class of 2022 should never be called unfortunate. We are the class of changemakers.

e complex world we are entering is the reality that we have to face. Race relations continue to be aggravated. Global warming continues to create natural disasters and displacement across the planet. New diseases and healthcare

issues plague our hospitals and research centers. Political polarization in this country is at its worst level since the Civil War. Socioeconomic inequality is the force that continues to subjugate the people who need our help the most. And people do not have the quality of education that we are celebrating today.

With these issues looming large in our futures, fellow graduates, your sensitivity to other people’s needs, your boldness to act in de ance of the status quo, and your eagerness for change are attributes that you have the responsibility to share with the world. No matter your career path or vocation, be absolutely intentional in why you want to lead, how you will take action, and what impact you want to leave. When we are intentional with our leadership, we are committed to nurturing our own stewardship.

e members of the Chaminade Class of 2022 are uniquely equipped to be intentional servant leaders who will

tackle the issues that face our world because we embody the characteristics of great changemakers. Changemakers like Ruby Bridges who made it possible for people of color like me to stand on this stage today. Changemakers like Greta unberg that taught us that taking action at any age is necessary to save our planet. Changemakers like David Hogg who showed us that we can stand up against gun violence as a generation. All these young changemakers underscore how we can be agents of progress at any age and at any capacity.

Now, what are the characteristics that exemplify the will of a changemaker? Well, a changemaker leads from integrity where they live and act in accordance with their values. People like Jessa, who marched at the height of the BLM movement and who continues to ght for racial justice, illustrating an uncompromising adherence to moral principles. A changemaker exhibits an unparalleled level of courage because

36 CHAMINADE NOW

they will persevere and ght for what is right even in the midst of fear. People like Sophia, who fought for social change and inclusivity on our own campus by serving on Diversity Team and LIFE Team, courageously organizing events like A Place at the Table and Marianist Life Communities, even when some people did not respect the work being done. A changemaker embraces innovation in their creative push for advancement. People like TJ, who challenged the ethics of CRISPR technology in order to see if gene editing should potentially be used to cure cancer. Finally, a changemaker needs to be adaptive in order to adjust and thrive in any environment that they are in. All members of the Class of 2022 exhibit the best of adaptation and change, one of our CMEs, because we each met our moment in the wake of adversity, in the classroom, on the eld, and in our homes during these special four years of our lives. When we embody the characteristics of integrity, courage,

innovation, and adaptability, we can face these global issues with the knowledge that we are capable of solving them because we are changemakers.

is is why, when I enter Stanford University in the fall, I will carry with me the faith and hope that have been inspired by all of you and by my years at Chaminade. Chaminade graduates are called on to love, learn, and lead. I know that by doing these things, we can change the world. Wherever we all go next on our journeys, let’s be the voices of action built out of the humility of caring for others. Let’s transform our communities in every sector and capacity. I know we will miss our time at this sacred place, but I am con dent that we will make our Chaminade community proud of who we become, what we achieve, and how we impact this world.

Congratulations to the Chaminade Class of 2022!

Wherever we all go next on our journeys, let's be the voices of action built out of the humility of caring for others. Let's transform our communities in every sector and capacity.

FERNANDO AND NICOLE CABACCANG P’22

Fernando and Nicole are volunteer dynamos. ey jumped right in when their family joined the Chaminade community four years ago. Upon returning to campus after COVID, Nicole didn’t hesitate to co-chair our beloved Holly Berry Luncheon and Boutique. Knowing the physical toll of setting up and cleaning up, Fernando was our right-hand man. It could not have happened without his dedication and commitment to ensuring the event was beautiful and seamless. Nicole and Fernando also signed up to be on the Gala committee and took on chaperoning the students participating in the Senior Show. eir commitment to Chaminade is unconditional, and they exemplify what it means to be proud Chaminade parents!

The wilderness calls and she must go.

During those years she lifted the Chaminade girls’ basketball program from a non-ranking team to champions of the Mission League two years in a row. Her high school scoring record (1,835 points) has never been broken. She was one of only a thousand high school basketball players nationwide to be nominated to the McDonald’s All American Girls’ Team, and she was the rst female, at that time, in Chaminade’s 50-year history to win a full Division 1 scholarship in women’s basketball. She’s been nominated for Chaminade’s Alumni Hall of Fame.

Her fondest memories of high school include breaking the mental barrier of nally understanding calculus (thanks to the late Mr. Mussack), winning lots of basketball games, and better understanding famous plays and poems that weave their way into societal vernacular.

After graduating from Chaminade, Zdenek studied ecology and evolutionary biology at UC Irvine, graduating with a 3.8 cumulative GPA and her Bachelor of Science degree in 2008, despite committing 20 hours per week to the university’s women’s basketball team. She won the university’s Athletic Director’s Achievement Award in 2008 for excellence in the classroom and on the court. She was then awarded a prestigious Fulbright Fellowship to Australia for a year where she earned a master’s degree by research (not coursework) in conservation biology at the Australian National University. In a remote part of far north Queensland, she studied Australia’s largest parrot, the palm cockatoo. In between seasonal eldwork adventures, she was a venomous-snake education demonstrator (perhaps not everyone’s idea of the ideal job), helping to educate the Australian public on best practices, identi cation, and rst aid regarding snakes. is work led her to later examine the e ect of snake venom on human blood coagulation, earning her a PhD in 2020.

Now in a year of post-doctoral research studies, she continues to nd her true calling in reptiles. e manager of the Venom Evolution Lab at the University of Queensland, her current research is focused on snake venom e ects, antivenom e ectiveness, death adder ecology, snake behavior, and still some palm cockatoo work here and there.

Zdenek’s research has taken her from the Peruvian Amazon (studying macaws) to far- ung parts of Australia (studying penguins, possums, koalas, lizards, seals, and turtles). She has published 42 scienti c publications and regularly appears in the media (free-to-air TV, podcasts, online articles, etc.), where she

discusses science. In her department at the university she won the award for Most Likely to be in the Media in 2021. She was recently named an ABC Top 5 Scientist, a program that selects Australia’s top emerging thinkers and communicators for a residency program with the Australian Broadcast Corporation. She’s also been a recipient of the Young Science Ambassador Award in Australia each year from 2017–2021.

In her spare time she loves to birdwatch and photograph wildlife (see @CNZdenek on Instagram), as well as to garden and make educational videos. She is married to an Australian, Chris Hay, who is even more crazy about snakes than she is (if that’s possible!). Together, they produce videos on their YouTube channel called A WILD LIFE with Chris and Christina. A cheetah even attended their wedding! Her plans are to continue to reduce the human-snake con ict wherever possible, including by using snake venoms to better diagnose blood-related diseases such as lupus.

Her advice for current Chaminade students is to not take for granted the excellent education available at Chaminade, to pay attention in class, and learn as much as possible, especially about science. With so much biased and false information oating around, she believes students need the skills to be skeptical and the knowledge about science to guide their understanding of the world around them.

“My ultimate purpose,” she writes, “is to use science to promote a better world for humans and for wildlife.”

From football to parachuting

It's all about Teamwork

In Nebraska, corn—surprisingly—isn’t king. Instead, it’s football. Football is a state pastime, and the 90,000-plus seat stadium in Lincoln sells out every year. at’s one reason Eagle running back Terrell Newby II chose to attend college there. Even when he visited the University of Nebraska campus for the rst time, fans asked him for his autograph. Pretty heady stu for a high school senior!

After graduating from Chaminade in 2013, Newby played football at Nebraska all four years. He received his bachelor’s degree in sociology in 2016, then played in the NFL for the Minnesota Vikings for the 2017 season before moving to the AAF League Salt Lake City Stallions for the 2019 season. “It was a dream come true for me to play professional football,” he said. It was only when he began to consider life after football that he thought of the military. He became an airborne infantryman with the Nebraska Army National Guard, a job that includes parachuting out of airplanes, something he learned how to do in “jump school” at Fort Benning, Georgia. As a second job, he works in recruiting for the Guard.

For Newby, joining the military was a smooth transition from football. He sees the training for both as very similar—being pushed out of one’s comfort zone.

“Being in the National Guard is just like playing on a football team. You’re part of a team (or a platoon), you plan an approach, and then you execute that plan, working together for a common goal—to complete the mission. I wanted a challenge, and the military provides that,” he explained. He loves the relationships, the camaraderie, and the feeling of being part of a team. Recruiting for the Guard also takes him back to high school football camps all over the state where he shares his story. Newby credits recently retired Chaminade coach Ed Croson for giving him the training and opportunities to progress in football. He regrets having missed his retirement party in December 2021.

“His way of teaching is unique. He’s not an in-your-face kind of guy. He’s very cerebral. I learned a lot from him about being a leader…I think he’s one of the greatest coaches ever,” he said.

One memory of his high school days is the pass he ran to a touchdown against rival Notre Dame. “Beating them was unheard of back then,” he said.

Now at home in Lincoln, Newby has been married for a year to his wife Paige, whom he met at the university. And while the transition from football to the military came easily for him, adjusting to the Nebraska climate was a di erent challenge altogether.

“My rst year here, it was the rst time I had ever seen snow, he said, “and it turned out to be one of the worst winters ever!” Gradually he’s adjusted to what he calls a “full- edged winter.”

Newby encouraged current Chaminade students to “take advantage of all the opportunities to learn. You are at one of the most prestigious schools in the region. Seek out your teachers’ advice—they’re there to help you out and they provide so much support for you academically.”

Gratitude. Pass it on.

For Jill and Steve Ortiz, Chaminade College Preparatory enabled them to survive a year when their youngest daughter, Briana ‘20, was very ill.

One morning in January, Briana woke up bright yellow, with a mysterious blood disease that, even today, remains a mystery to her doctors at Children’s Hospital. As part of her illness, she needed transfusions, lots of transfusions. And she was not able to go to class for two months. “It was amazing,” Jill said, “So many people from the Chaminade community took time out of their day to drive an hour to the hospital to donate blood, speci cally to Briana. Everyone really came together, even people we did not know at the time. ey gave because we were part of the Chaminade family.”

e help did not stop there. ere were o ers to dog walk, to visit in the hospital, to help with homework, to run errands for the family. Bro. Tom Fahy, the Chaminade principal at the time, visited personally. Former head of counseling Juliana Gallant and Briana’s counselor, Je rey Fuller, worked with Briana to ensure that she was able to succeed when she returned to school.
