Middle School and High School Students Launch Recycling Program for REDS This story was originally reported by the Marianist's May issue of FamilyOnline. To read more FamilyOnline articles, visit marianist.com/familyonline.
Last year, Fr. Josephraj Rymond, a Marianist priest from India, who served as Chaminade’s Chaplain from August 2017 to June 2019, had an idea. Why not collect money from recycling plastic bottles and aluminum cans at the school campuses and send the proceeds to help fund the Marianist REDS ministries in India? Started 30 years ago, REDS (Ragpickers Education & Development Scheme) was originally focused on providing support for the children who picked through trash looking for recyclables to sell in order to survive. Today, the program continues to operate ministries aimed at helping impoverished children and their families create a better life though education and training. With Bro. Tom Oles joining Fr. Joseph, the two Marianists enlisted help from the Environment Club at the high school and EPICC, an ecology program at the middle school, as well as faculty and staff. “The school bought 50 large, bottle-shaped recycling bins that were distributed to both school campuses for recycling,” said Fr. Joseph. The students and faculty advisers – Julie LaBelle Sprouse, Luis Guerra, Elizabeth Cantwell, Joe Norton, Jason Kertz, Kathleen Baucom Acker, John Apablasa, Yesenia Rivera, and Agapito Valderrama – gather the bottles and cans each week and bring them to the recycling center to collect the proceeds. The program is on track to raise about $2,000 for REDS this year, and Fr. Joseph expressed “We’d like to see this continue every year.” Fr. Josephraj presided over his last mass in May, at the Baccalaureate Mass. He returns to India where he will be the head of a Marianist school located in his home town.

Preparing, Inspiring, and Equipping Our Students for a Complex World Robert S. Webb P ’18 ’20, President
As I write this note, it is mid-July – days away from the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing. Though commemoration is focused on mankind’s first steps on the moon, I am always struck by those early images of earth from space. The vast universe dwarfing our planet reminds me that our world is truly small, a sentiment amplified by today’s increased globalization.
In this issue of Chaminade Now, you will read about a group of students and faculty who send the money they earn from collecting recyclables on campus to a ministry in India that assists impoverished children and their families. You will meet students who participated in the AP Capstone Program and learn about problems they identified and researched over the course of two years.
Each spring Chaminade sends new graduates into this hyper-connected world. As articulated by our vision statement, the seven-year learning experience of Chaminade College Preparatory focuses on preparing, inspiring, and equipping our students to:
This issue also takes us to Peru with a group of students who spent the Easter vacation engaged in cross-cultural learning. In the recap of 2019 commencement events, I encourage you to read the inspiring speeches from our middle school and high school valedictorians – two young women who will undoubtedly impact our world.
• share God’s love by caring for others and seeking justice and peace; • learn, adapt, and grow with the world around them; and • become servant leaders and positive contributors to society. The Marianist charism guides Chaminade’s educational ministry. Our students learn to carry out God’s will to love and serve others in our complex world by emulating Mary as a model.
Within our own Chaminade universe, alumni and donors have a tremendous impact. The second half of Chaminade Now highlights their achievements and thanks them for their generosity. Astronaut Neil Armstrong was in awe as he looked back at earth from the moon, which he described as a “tiny pea, pretty and blue.” The smallness of our inter-connected planet reminds us to live like Christ and find the humanity in each person.

Chaminade Fencing Brings Home Two State Titles In a performance that was nothing short of convincing, Chaminade swept the men’s and women’s overall titles at the 2019 California high school fencing championships. The Eagles outpaced 62 other schools from across the state by taking four of six events, with the women finishing first in epee and the men winning foil, epee, and saber. Chaminade’s success is due primarily to handful of fencers – including Ian Ngo ’19, Lance Fortner ’20, and Adam Catlin ’21 – earning Top 10 finishes during a full day of competition in their home gym. Senior Emmanuelle Cola earned an individual bronze in women’s epee, and other team members contributing points were Zachary Wharton ’19, John Conroy ’19, Sean-Paul Marx ’20, Marc Ghotanian ’22, Jaemin Choi ’22, Emily Brown ’19, Charlotte Weller ’19 and Mary Alexa Cantalejo ’21. The accumulation of solid performances pushed coach Derek Snyder’s squad well past rivals Harvard-Westlake and Brentwood. For the men, this marks the second-consecutive overall championship. The women improved after finishing just behind Harvard-Westlake last year. Chaminade has won more state titles in fencing than in any other sport. The program was originally guided to prominence by Fr. Larry Calhoun, a renowned figure in the sport, and over its many years has produced numerous standouts who later competed at the college and international level.

CAPSTONE In the fall of 2014 and after a successful pilot program, the College Board offered the Advanced Placement (AP) Capstone Program to high schools around the world. Presented to students as a committed, two-year curriculum, students can enroll in the program during either their sophomore/junior or junior/senior high school years. The first year of the program is entitled AP Seminar and the second year AP Research, and the focus of AP Capstone revolves around the development of students’ skills in research, analysis, evidence-based arguments, collaboration, writing, and presenting (College Board, AP Capstone, 4/15/19).

CHAMINADE NOW
During the first year, AP Seminar, the program emphasizes the vital elements of visionary college-level skills, such as independent thinking, problem-solving, individual study, group collaboration, and flexible, student-centered learning. Students who complete the first year will take the AP exam in May. If students earn a three or above on the exam and successfully complete the next year of AP Research, they will earn the AP Capstone Certificate. In addition, if students complete an additional four AP classes and pass them with a three or better on the AP exam, they will earn the AP Capstone Diploma, a distinction regarding their college profile. Schools must apply to be considered for the AP Capstone Program, and Chaminade had a great interest and applied for and was accepted to the AP Capstone Program for the school year of 2017-2018. The rigor and relevance of the program is further upheld with a mandated five-day summer teachertraining workshop, which has been attended by Chaminade teachers and administrators for the past two years. The first teachers of AP Seminar, Mrs. Kelley Stone and Mrs. Teri Daniel; AP Coordinator, Mrs.Wendy Cowgill; and Vice-Principals Ms. Jennifer Poole and Mr. Greg Klee all attended the training workshops, where the group learned of the many ways the course could be taught. Mrs. Stone has a background as a reader for the AP US History exam, and she has presented workshops at AP Conferences and professional development programs. Back in 2014, she attended a Western Regional Forum session on the AP Capstone Program and was instrumental in pitching the program at Chaminade. Stone explains that the instructional goals of AP Capstone align closely with her teaching pedagogy and “focus on the mastery of skills’ sets over memorization of content.” She and
Mrs. Cowgill viewed the program as an “excellent fit for Chaminade with its emphasis on individualized learning, writing, and an interdisciplinary approach to studying.” Stone also appreciates the fact that the program opens access to students beyond the more traditional, subject-area AP classes. She thinks that the program closely aligns with the Characteristics of Marianist Education most notably regarding an “Integral, Quality Education” and upholding “Service, Justice, and Peace.” Students have the opportunity to choose topics regarding justice such as corporate social responsibility with real world application manifesting in their projects and presentations. Mrs. Daniel also found the training workshop enlightening, and she appreciated the practical nature of the conference, which provided techniques for teachers to “prepare students for performance tasks while offering them various perspectives to view their topics.” Daniel believes that students wellsuited to participate in the AP Capstone Program need to possess a strong work ethic, a solid responsibility for their choices, and a willingness to grow in their critical thinking

EMILIANO VILLALOBOS
Exploring the Development of Political Ideologies in Teenagers within the Context of Gun Control For senior Emiliano “Papo” Villalobos, upon reflection, the AP Capstone Program is “closely aligned with the Marianist Charism supporting an ‘Integral, Quality Education’”, the tenet embraced by the Chaminade community for this year. He considers himself a “tenacious” individual, and after experiencing the two-year AP Capstone Program, he realizes that persistence is a vital characteristic for Capstone students to possess. On campus, Papo participates in many activities and organizations from Student Council to Life Team, and he was named Co-Salutatorian along with classmate Riya Dulepet for the class of 2019. He appreciates being challenged, and he joined the AP Capstone Program because he wanted classes that “focused on the development of the whole person”. He was not disappointed. Papo has always possessed an interest in political science, and he was able to cultivate his passions

for the subject with his AP Research year-long project. He entitled his project “Exploring the Development of Political Ideologies in Teenagers within the Context of Gun Control”, and his research and findings infused his thinking and allowed him to more fully reflect on his own views and identity. Shifting from a focus on secondary sources to primary sources changed his attitude toward mainstream news. He explains, “I have become a more cynical viewer of the news, and I see the necessity to validate sources and come to my own conclusions. The AP Capstone Program has encouraged my growth as a student to learn beyond the curriculum and to work at my own pace, according to my own time management and organization.” An integral component of Papo’s research began with the documents he read for his literature review concerning the polarization of attitudes toward guns. From this starting point, Papo decided to emphasize a highly qualitative approach regarding the methodologies used for his project. He interviewed Chaminade juniors and seniors as they were easily accessible to him, and he thought
he needed a close connection to his research sample. He asked questions revolving around the students’ experiences with guns and found that the patterns unfolded in his transcript analysis of their narratives closely aligned with “stereotypes regarding Liberals and Conservatives and their attachment to emotions and sensory details.” By the end of his year of research, Papo felt wellprepared to present his findings. Papo realizes that the limitations to his research include the small sample of interviews conducted and the time restraints of the school year. He hopes to continue his research in the future, and he may have a chance to beginning in the fall of 2019 when he will join the Big Green community at Dartmouth College, where he plans to major in economics with a minor in public policy. He so appreciated the family atmosphere at Dartmouth during his college visit, and the spirit of the campus reminds him of Chaminade. He reflects that “the great bond between people that I felt on the campus and the smaller size of the population made me feel right at home.”
skills. They have to be able to work equitably on a team, and according to Daniel, the “stakes are high regarding collaboration, and students must develop their communication abilities and aptitude to synthesize material while considering various points of view.” As the first teachers of the AP Seminar class at Chaminade, both Stone and Daniel note the necessity of laying the groundwork in the first semester of the class by developing skills’ sets and presenting and practicing research techniques. In the second semester, students are guided without much direct instruction, which may come as a culture shock to some students. The emphasis for students to work in truly collaborative groups with the built-in need to negotiate with team members, identify each teammates’ strengths, be open to various perspectives, and place equity as a priority can be a challenge for students. As a group, students have to identify and agree upon a problem to solve, and they each need to view the problem through a different lens such as a scientific, psychological, economic, legal, or ethical point of view. After extensive research, groups need to reconvene to determine what was illuminated by their research and who the stakeholders are in relation to their problem. After validating their sources, students must evaluate the most effective solution to the chosen problem and determine if more research needs to be conducted. The solution becomes the focus of their Team Multimedia Presentation (TMP), a significant element of their final AP Seminar Exam score. This process takes much scaffolding regarding the mastery of skills’ sets required by the program and much collaboration between the AP Seminar instructors.
I have become a more cynical viewer of the news, and I see the necessity to validate sources and come to my own conclusions. The AP Capstone Program has encouraged my growth as a student to learn beyond the curriculum and to work at my own pace, according to my own time management and organization. -Emiliano Villalobos '19
Individual reflection is an integral part of the AP Capstone Program for both teachers and students. Stone sees so much benefit to Chaminade students regarding the program as it allows the “liberty for students to take control of their own learning and view themselves with agency in their educational journeys.” Students are not told what to do, a departure from more traditional classes and models, but they must individually and

collectively master concretely measured skills. Daniel concludes that the program “has the ability to help improve the educational culture at Chaminade by promoting individual learning and the development of intellectual curiosity.” Along with the AP Seminar teachers, the first AP Research teachers, Ms. Allison Hardesty, Mr. Eric Esby, and Dr. Luciana Lang-Taylor, echoed the sentiment of the importance of the program to Chaminade. They all expressed the need for AP Capstone students to be motivated and hardworking with an ability to graciously both receive and provide constructive feedback to their peers. Hardesty has an extensive research background, which she began as an undergraduate at Santa Clara University. As a veteran AP teacher at Chaminade for five years in the subject of AP Psychology, Hardesty understands the demands of an AP course, and she “loved the challenge of teaching AP Research. It is rewarding to teach students how to set their own time limits, learn the differences between qualitative and quantitative data analysis, focus on the collection and coding of data, and write a comprehensive literature review.” The reflection component of the course was a standout for Hardesty, echoed in the thoughts of Esby, a long-time AP science, math, and social studies teacher at Chaminade. With his widespread research education, he notes that “Completing a research project is a reflective process, and I am grateful that this step plays such an influential part in the AP Research writing and presentation rubrics.” Both teachers understand the benefits of the program to the greater Chaminade culture, and they see room for improvement even down to the procedure of choosing a topic. Esby explains, “This was a learning year, and the best research projects emphasized subject matter that is small in scope and not grandiose. We hope to more efficiently provide workshops that provide feedback to stimulate questions in our students and to fully emphasize the need for effective time management in and out of the classroom.” The future of the AP Capstone is a bright one, and it is sure to be filled with positive lessons learned from the first cohort.

ISIUWA OMOIGUI Confirmation Bias Regarding her participation in the AP Capstone Program, Isiuwa has “personally loved the opportunity to direct [her] own course of study” synthesizing her many areas of interest and ability to explore and apply her discoveries to her own learning. The AP Research students choose their own project topics for the final year of the program and work independently on research and writing in preparation for their presentation. Isiuwa decided to examine the effect of “confirmation bias”, which she defines as the “tendency for one to reject evidence contrary to one’s preconceived ideas,” in relation to political ideology and affiliation. Her focus was on polarization in American government including issues of taxes, gun control, and health care. Her reasons for this topic center on her passionate interests in American foreign policy. Isiuwa’s primary research methods incorporated both analysis of qualitative and quantitative data, and she surveyed the six AP Government and Politics’ classes at Chaminade. A total of twenty-five students were offered the survey, and each of them participated in answering the questions. Isiuwa chose this youthful demographic because she assessed their relatively rich understanding of American government regarding policy, and she knows that her peers are “the future in positions of government”. Her questions of policy and party affiliation included Republican, Democratic,
and Libertarian platforms, and she incorporated a Likert Scale, including ratings of five to one on particular strengths of arguments. Even with the inclusion of “neutral statements”, Isiuwa’s work reinforced to her how humans “closely affiliate with party and oftentimes strongly criticize the opposition” perhaps without much rational logic because “affiliation shapes the way humans view information”.
and more diverse population. The precise steps in the research process associated with the program allowed Isiuwa to develop her self-discipline in relation to her studies. She found the workload manageable as long as she set and kept her personal deadlines, and her culminating presentation was a true “test of skill” for Isiuwa, keeping her “accountable and self-aware” regarding her own education.
Isiuwa observes that the AP Capstone Program presents to students an opportunity to take complete ownership and accountability of their education. In her words, “Students invest in the topics of their choice in these two classes, and there is more skin in the game” especially regarding collaborative group work. She appreciates that students have to identify personal interests, explore inter-disciplinary connections, and critically “dive into and find their passions”. She does think that the limitations of her study include the relatively small sample of students surveyed, but she plans to continue this research in college with the opportunity to survey a much larger
As the class of 2019 Valedictorian and awardee for four years of excellence in both English and social studies, Isiuwa is an exemplary student and successful Mock Trial Team member. She plans to major in political science at Yale University in the fall with strong, additional interests in literature and psychology. Her future goals include attending law school, and she aspires to focus on international and civil rights’ law, a well-suited combination, as anyone who meets her understands her commitment to social justice: Isiuwa embodies the definition of becoming an “agent of social change”, and she is sure to change minds and lives in her future for social betterment.

JULIA WILSON Accent Bias One of the most highly-involved students at Chaminade, Julia Wilson devotes hours of service to her school and local communities. On campus, from being a Diversity Team Commissioner to a member of the winning Mock Trial Team to President of the Chaminade Ambassadors, Julia has provided exemplary leadership to her peers and commitment to the school. Off campus, Julia annually volunteers at least 120 hours of her time to the National Charity League. All of this involvement is accomplished by Julia with her signature smile and gracious attitude and culminated in her earning the Brother James Loughran Award for the class of 2019, an honor that recognizes her outstanding service to Chaminade and her hard work and dependability. As an independent thinker and student who thrives on pursuing her own interests, joining the AP Capstone Program was a natural next step for Julia. She expresses: “I loved the idea of formulating my own curriculum, and creativity is an essential component of developing your AP Research topic and identifying a gap in the current data to fill.” Regarding her area of study, Julia is attracted to language and linguistics, and she is a self-proclaimed “combatant of social discrimination.” After much deliberation and consultation, Julia decided to focus her examination on “accent bias.” Julia views the high

school community as a microcosm of society, and she is well-aware of the limitations of her small research sample. She created a survey and sent it to 55 Chaminade seniors; 38 of them responded. Her over-arching question follows: “What effect, if any, does the female southern accent spoken in English have on the perceptions of Chaminade seniors?” Julia realized that her findings were mostly in alignment with established work in the field. She concludes that “Chaminade students overwhelmingly view females with Texas accents as uneducated, unintelligent, close-minded, and unprogressive, while the positive traits of these females include efficiency and an ethic of hard work.” The negative perceptions of her sample group encourage Julia to take her research further in the future to help dispel negative associations connected to women with Texas accents. Her conclusions connected with her thoughts on the Marianist charism of “Adaptation and Change”, and she reflects that especially in the second year of
the program, “I had to maneuver obstacles in my research, and I had to discover how to approach my topic differently than I expected. Collecting and managing the students in my sample group and creating schedules for the work was a challenge as I discovered that not everyone is as invested in my research as I am.” This fall, Julia will be enrolled in the University Honors’ Program at Southern Methodist University (SMU), where she plans on majoring in political science with a doublemajor in the history of performance and visual arts. At SMU, she will be able to take law classes as an undergraduate student, and after attending law school, her career goal is to become an entertainment lawyer, blending her love of the arts with her passion for the social sciences. She appreciates the “large campus with a small, community feeling” at SMU, and she is sure to continue her innovative research and progressive thinking in the next leg of her educational journey.
Cowgill, appreciates how the program encourages students to become more critical thinkers and problem-solvers. She explains that the “collaborative piece, especially during year one, is vital to what students will experience in their adult work lives. Group work is challenging and needs creativity and openmindedness.” With an eye toward making the program even stronger for the next group of students, the aim is for secondyear members to move more fully outside of the Chaminade
community for their research topics, so they can fully explore national and even global issues on a relatively small scale. More collaboration for the instructors is also in the plan. Cowgill concludes, “We hope that the teachers of both AP Seminar and AP Research can work together more frequently as a specialized department building community. This ‘Capstone community’ would work as a smaller unit within the school following the model of unique college programs and learning communities.”
ABIGAIL FOYGELMAN
Mere Exposure Effect Entering her junior year, Abigail “Abby” Foygelman was looking for “something different”: a rigorous class that would be tailored to her own interests and that would involve research and writing. The AP Capstone Program piqued her attention, and she decided to participate because the program allows students to “learn in a self-sufficient, personalized, and unique environment as opposed to learning in a more structured classroom.” Abby is a passionate young lady whose curiosity is easily sparked, and she appreciated the opportunity to depend more on herself than heavily on a teacher for her learning. She hoped to cultivate her resourcefulness and individuality on her own terms demonstrated in the AP Capstone Program, where, as Abby explains, “the content is up to me.” For Abby, choosing her year-long research topic was an arduous process, which she took seriously. After much
discernment, Abby decided to combine two of her favorite subjects, music and psychology, and she used Chaminade seniors as her randomly generated responders. After choosing the Top 200 Album of the Week from June, 2018, Abby examined the relationship between listeners’ satisfaction with music in relation to the repetition of hearing the same music. Incorporating nightly journaling from her subjects and a Likert scale for measuring responses, Abby found that listeners “became more comfortable and less bored as they continued to listen to the same music.” Her conclusions aligned themselves with information from her literature review, focusing on the “Mere Exposure Effect”, which according to Abby, is a “psychological phenomenon allowing people to experience an affinity for objects or individuals because they are familiar to them.” Abby greatly appreciated how the two years of AP Capstone worked
both independently and together to prepare students for the coursework. The AP Seminar class laid the groundwork for the program and afforded students the opportunity for much constructive feedback from their peers regarding ideas for topics and presentation techniques. The emphasis of the AP Research class presented students with research methodologies and a more “handsoff” approach from the instructors. Abby advises that students who are interested in joining the program need to be motivated self-learners who are “dedicated to and passionate about their education.” Because the program is so individualized, students have the opportunity to become “highly knowledgeable in their own areas of interest.” She was happy to meet with the AP Seminar students at the end of the 2019 school year to share her experience as a second year AP Capstone student and to provide some pearls of wisdom and advice with them in a “question and answer” venue. Abby’s vibrant love of learning is sure to flourish in the fall, when she will be attending the University of San Diego to study public relations and communications, and her goal is to attend law school after college with an emphasis on contract law. Her intense self-motivation and ability to envision the big picture will assist her in making her future world a more just place.

to a Chinese middle school where Chaminade students constructed kites with the children, stayed in the dorms with them, and created a collaborative news show. “We were completely embraced and incorporated into the activities of the school,” PK remarks, which heightened the experience for Chaminade students.
Professora, a staunch proponent of studying language in a shared environment with native speakers, has been instrumental in organizing the recent cultural excursions. In the spring of 2018, she and the Vice-Principal, Mrs. Lisa Magorien, inaugurated the travel program by chaperoning 22 students on an unforgettable trip to China. The five students on the trip who studied Chinese were able to converse and use their language skills with the Chinese natives, and all of the students were, according to Professora, “excited to learn in a completely new world while broadening their cultural horizons.” The highlight of the China trip was their visit
In the spirit of continuing global learning, this past spring of 2019, Professora PK, Mrs. Magorien, and Spanish instructor, Mr. Alex McKay, escorted 21 Chaminade students on a ten-day, breathtaking visit to Peru. From eating alpaca and guinea pig to using their Spanish while bargaining with street vendors, students were immersed in the Peruvian culture. Each of the adults in attendance reflected that the two visits to Machu Picchu were the most memorable of the trip. McKay notes that “to be walking on one of the Seven Wonders of the World is such a unique experience,” and PK adds that the “sacredness of the space was moving

especially when juxtaposed with the mix of ancient and contemporary cultures – from traditional dress to cell phone use.” Learning from the pioneer ventures established by the World Languages Department, during next Easter Break, the Latin Program is planning a trip to Italy, and next summer, the Spanish and French Programs are investigating journeys to Spain and France. The Department hopes to establish a culture in which groups of students travel at least once annually to a new country. Both PK and McKay reflect that the Marianist charism to “Educate for Adaptation and Change” especially the sub-point surrounding being open to “global context through enculturation” is closely aligned with the cultural and immersion global trips offered by the Department. Mrs. Magorien summarizes the focus on developing globally-oriented students at Chaminade when she expresses that “our kids need real-world experience”, and all of the chaperones advocate for more than a textbook, video, or website encounter with other countries for Chaminade students to explore rich traditions outside of their own lives.

Middle School Commencement Lillie Kathleen Vehling Middle School Valedictorian The following is an excerpt from Lillie's commencement speech.
It’s hard to believe that on August 10, 2016, we walked onto campus for our first day of school as 6th grade students. May 30, 2019 seemed like a lifetime away! But in those three years, we put time and energy into our studies and activities, made memories, and created lasting friendships. 1,022 days later ... here we are. In caps and gowns. Ready to graduate. Ready to succeed in high school. And beyond. Certainly, parents and educators at Chaminade have played a key role in forming us academically and spiritually, but I have a third mentor − someone who although I never exchanged words with him, has played a pivotal role in my life. That person is legendary UCLA Bruin basketball Coach John Wooden. Coach Wooden is an important inspiration to me for three reasons: Number 1: I am a passionate UCLA fan!
Number 2: I share my birthday with him. In fact, my parents took a picture of him with me when I was only a few months old! He would always tell me, “Lillie, we are only 94 years apart!” Number 3: Since 1998, each year, one college or professional athlete is chosen to receive the John Wooden Keys to Life Award. This award is given to an athlete who exemplifies scholarship, character, and faith. And isn’t this what Chaminade has provided us? Indeed, whether in the classrooms, on the field, or in the gym, Chaminade has emphasized a dedication to developing scholarship, character and faith. Chaminade’s excellence in academics will continue to benefit us long after tonight. Not only have we learned so much about all of the subjects, but we have learned how to learn ... study techniques and time management skills. School challenged us academically, never allowing for us to take our foot off the gas. Demanding maximum effort is a gift from Chaminade that I will always treasure. Chaminade’s middle school is exceptional for so many reasons that I believe have
developed our integrity. Coach Wooden stated, “Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.” I was attracted to Chaminade for its countless opportunities to get involved and pursue my interests. The life lessons we have learned about loyalty, initiative and team-spirit, all building blocks of Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success, have shaped our character and helped prepare us for our next adventure in high school. I am confident that each and every one of us has developed leadership skills that will carry us into a more successful future. The leadership clubs have provided a wide variety of ways to pursue our passions, challenge ourselves and make an impact on the campus. Similar to Coach Wooden’s Pyramid of Success, the Chaminade advantage would not be the same without these numerous activities. The emphasis on exploring and developing our faith here has been a strong focus and huge asset to attending Chaminade over any other middle school. Coach Wooden prioritized his faith and stated “There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one of the most important is faith.” A perfect quote from Coach John Wooden for 206 8th grade graduates getting ready for high school is “It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.” I know that we may think that we have already conquered the world, but I cannot wait to see what we will accomplish as the future unfolds!

Reflections of a graduate Isiuwa Omoigui '19 High School Valedictorian
This is a bittersweet time of year for Chaminade seniors. The twinge of sadness we feel knowing that we will never again walk these halls to class with our friends, the elation of receiving an acceptance to a university, the calm, coupled with feelings of hope and belongingness, as we stepped onto the college campuses that will become our new homes for the next four years. This is what we have been waiting for, countless hours of preparing in the classroom and on the fields and the stress of finals and AP exams culminate in a series of steps across the graduation stage and the click of a button signifying our commitment to our respective colleges. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the standardized tests, essay writing, and interview preparation, and lose sight of the gravity of this beautiful time in each of our lives. And for me, especially, as the daughter of two people who came from Nigeria with dreams for themselves and for me, this time has a special meaning. Especially, as a person of color, it humbles me to know that activists picketed, endured vitriol and violence, and Thurgood Marshall presented a case before the Supreme Court just so I can sit in the rooms that I sit in. I often challenge myself to step back from thinking about how far I have come to consider the fact that, while talent is equally distributed, opportunity is not. I have been blessed with wonderful parents to encourage and guide me, outstanding teachers to challenge and educate me, and a supportive school community that has always been there for me. Gifted teens from disadvantaged homes and schools

in the United States did not receive the support, selection of advanced courses, or test preparation that I have had the privilege of receiving, and by no metric am I better than them. Millions of girls in the developing world are often encouraged to be brides, rather than scholars, and are deprived of an education on the basis of their sex. So with all the privileges and an excellent private school education, I was set up for success, so all I had to do was work hard, find ways to get involved, and give back to the communities that lifted me up. And I did. I did it because of people like my grandmother, who never received a formal Western education. I did it because of young girls like Linda Brown and Ruby Bridges, who were among the first black students to attend formerly
segregated schools and were subjected to intolerance and prejudice because of it. It humbles me every day to know that elite institutions, such as the Ivy League universities, offered admission to me. Opening those acceptance letters was one of the most thrilling moments of my life and an affirmation of years of hard work and dedication, but most importantly it was a challenge—to leverage the resources afforded to me for the betterment of our society and to be the best representative of both my Chaminade family and the family I was born to. With hope and with humility, I will step on to the campus of Yale University in the fall, ready to leave my mark, make a way for those who will come after me, and carry the lessons I have learned thus far into this incredibly exciting new chapter of my life.

EDUCATION FOR
By Bro. Adam Becerra, fsp, DMin
The mission of Chaminade College Preparatory is to inspire young people to love, learn, and lead through our Catholic and Marianist traditions of a loving faith, moral responsibility, and academic excellence. Our Marianist educators (faculty, staff, and administration) uniquely contribute to the mission by applying their gifts and talents. Whether it be in the classroom, at an extracurricular activity, or in the office, all Marianist educators contribute to and animate our mission.
34
CHAMINADE NOW
Often I ask Marianist educators what inspires them about our mission in their work. The most common answer I hear is that our mission points our students to faith as they discern their gifts and use them for the common good of all. It is not a secret that we are an inclusive community with a distinctive Catholic, Marianist identity. We are distinctive because we are sure of our identity in Jesus Christ and uphold and teach the doctrine, morals, and values of the Roman Catholic faith in the Marianist tradition. We are inclusive because we welcome non-Catholic students to experience the distinctiveness of our faith and this allows both Catholic and non-Catholic students to reflect on the nature of their religious identity and grow in relationship with God in an environment that nurtures family spirit and love of neighbor. Therefore, all students are inspired to love, learn, and lead through our Catholic, Marianist values and traditions. Animating our mission in an inclusive community that has a distinctively Catholic, Marianist identity entails our Marianist educators to embrace their work as a vocation—a calling from God—guided by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit animates our Marianist educators to apply their gifts and talents in their work as they form our students to love, learn, and lead. To this end, there are four distinguishing qualities that help our Marianist educators educate for mission in their vocation at Chaminade: caring for the human person; caring for learning that means loving; keeping Chaminade at the heart of the Church; and presenting Chaminade as an ambassador for service, justice, and peace.
CARE FOR THE HUMAN PERSON Chaminade sets out to be a school for the human person because we are made in the image of God, and we are responsible for discerning our faith and seeking understanding of our faith. Marianist educators strengthen the interior life of their students by helping them “dig deeper” to become logical thinkers who can make connections between their academic learning and relate their learning to practical life experiences and their faith. CARE FOR LEARNING MEANS LOVING
Educating for the mission at Chaminade is rooted in the vocation of every Marianist educator: a calling from and responding to the Holy Spirit. As such, Marianist educators have an incredible vocation as they raise their level of consciousness to the dynamic movement of the Holy Spirit in them to animate their work and help students become a living testament of God’s abundant love to all people.
Chaminade students are unique and have a variety of gifts and talents that they share within the community. Marianist educators respect the dignity of every human person as they help our students navigate through their gifts and talents. This requires our Marianist educators to explore a variety of teaching styles in order to meet student needs. As such, loving our students as “the way they are” means that we care. KEEP CHAMINADE AT THE HEART OF THE CHURCH As the complexity of our world becomes more challenging, our students need our Marianist educators to represent the Church right now. This is why Chaminade is a place of evangelization where students build up the kingdom of God. Marianist educators encourage our students to engage in a dialogue between people of different religions and social backgrounds to build up the sense of family spirit, making Chaminade a “second home away from home.” CHAMINADE AS AN AMBASSADOR FOR SERVICE, JUSTICE & PEACE Marianist educators promote a climate of service for our students. Chaminade draws on every available educational resource to help our students not only engage in service but also deepen their understanding of the root causes of injustices and the plight of the marginalized. Students are formed to understand the common good in all and value the dignity of all persons by taking thoughtful forms of action that truly respond to the social and moral problems of today’s world.

Founders DAY Students, faculty, and staff from Chaminade’s two campuses came together as one school to celebrate the 31st Annual Founders Day Mass. Reverend Oscar Vasquez, S.M., Provincial of the Marianist Province of the United States, concelebrated Mass with Chaminade Chaplains Fr. Ted Ley, S.M. ’58 and Fr. Josephraj Rymond, S.M.
During Mass, President Robert S. Webb named three new Founders of Chaminade College Preparatory – alumni Brian P. McGilvray ’76 and Teresa Uribe McGilvray ’78; and longtime high school Spanish teacher, Marielos Olson. He presented each honoree with a medal and thanked them for their contributions to the school.

CHAMINADE NOW
Founders Day commemorates Blessed William Joseph Chaminade and his charism to be formed by Mary for the mission of Christ and honors individuals who have made significant contributions to our school.
Brian and Teresa McGilvray, whose first date was Brian’s senior prom, are graduates of Chaminade College Preparatory. Brian graduated from Chaminade in 1976. He has a bachelor’s degree, MBA, and a law degree from Pepperdine University. He is currently serving for the third time on the Chaminade Board of Directors and co-chairs the planning and policy committee. In 2011, Brian was named Distinguished Alumnus of the Year. Teresa graduated from Chaminade in 1978. She has a bachelor’s degree from California State University, Northridge, and a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University. Teresa worked in the counseling department at Chaminade from 1990-1994 and also served on the board of directors. Brian and Teresa are the parents of two Chaminade alumni, Chris ’07 and Celine ’12. Teresa’s parents, Ricardo and Maria Uribe, have also been honored as Founders.
Marielos Olson was born into a large Catholic family in Cartago, Costa Rica. After high school, she graduated from Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica as an elementary school teacher. An exchange student scholarship brought her to Ripon College in Wisconsin. She then received a Fulbright Scholarship to earn a master’s degree in language arts from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. At Madison, Marielos met her husband, Kurt. They have two daughters, Nadya, who is in college, and Anastasia ’19. Marielos started teaching Spanish at Chaminade on March 10, 1994, right after the Northridge earthquake. During her 25 years of service to Chaminade, she has cherished working with students in the classroom. Her participation in Lumos, the sophomore retreat, has also been a highlight. Marielos was inspired by Fr. Larry Mann, with whom she attended many retreats. Fr. Larry taught Marielos about humility and simplicity, especially when speaking with students. Marielos will be retiring at the end of this school year. She will miss her colleagues and students but will carry fond memories from her time at Chaminade.

Over the summer, Chaminade used the funds raised at the 2019 Gala Emerald Isle to create innovation spaces and project-based STEAM curricula. Both the middle school and high school received funding to reinvent existing locations to establish maker spaces for exploratory work and creativity, which will be ready in the fall. Donations will also help meet the demand for new course offerings in computer science and game design as well as web and app development at the high school, and the implementation of Project Lead the Way at the middle school.

The chaminade wellness program Last year, Chaminade parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends were asked to invest in the newly created Wellness Program. During the Fund-A-Need portion of the 2018 Gala, the Chaminade community raised more than $111,000 to jump-start the program and give Chaminade the tools needed to expand the school’s vision to develop resilient young men and women who are adaptable self-advocates and can successfully balance school life. The Wellness program addresses topics such as alcohol and substance abuse prevention, sexual abuse and rape prevention, and anxiety and depression, as well as offer faculty additional in-service and professional development opportunities. In the spring, the Chaminade Wellness Program invited mental wellness and leadership expert Jordan Axani to address the everyday struggles that adolescents face today and provide suggestions and resources for getting help with these struggles. The middle school invited Joe Beckman to speak to students on how “Positivity Matters.” Through humor and music, Beckman focused on three areas of reflection: self-worth, resilience, and human connection. It is a priority of the school to help students achieve school/life balance and manage stress. Chaminade will integrate the wellness program into the curriculum through religion and health class, guest speakers, and the creation of on-campus activities.

By Allie Scheflo The Chaminade Gala Benefit and Auction returned to the Warner Center Marriott in Woodland Hills this year on Saturday, March 2, 2019. Parents, alumni, and friends gathered for a night on the Emerald Isle, a theme inspired by our very own Marianist Bro. Jack Dempsey, for good food and drink, exciting auctions, fun, laughter, and the opportunity to celebrate as a community for the benefit of our students. Carrin Torres, a parent of an alumna from the class of 2011 and a former staff member, co-chaired the event alongside Board of Directors member Karen Valentine, who is also a parent of alumni from the classes of 1992 and 1995 and a former faculty member. The night was filled with auctions, a performance from Chaminade’s adult choir, the traditional Senior Show, and love for Chaminade students. This became evident as guests raised their paddles for the fund-a-need initiative supporting Innovation Education on both campuses. A total of $66,000 was raised to expand upon our robust math, science, and award-winning robotics’ programs with the addition of new curriculum, equipment, technology, and innovative, project-based workspaces on both campuses. The Innovation Education fund-a-need will help make further connections between the sciences and humanities and ignite creativity among our students. It will promote maker mindsets enabling students to think as visionaries and identify innovative solutions needed to tackle the problems of today and tomorrow. The gala is a celebratory event that provides critically important support for Chaminade’s needs on both campuses to ensure our students receive the best quality education. In total, proceeds from the gala reached $226,500 under the leadership of Carrin and Karen. Thank you to all the volunteers who contributed an immense amount of hours to make the evening a success.

Social Spiders By Derreatha Juarez
Gabriella “Gabby” Najm ’14 opens up about her fear of spiders and the symbiotic relationship she now has with them as she works on her graduate research project.
52
CHAMINADE NOW
“I suffered from severe arachnophobia until I was in college. One day when I was in middle school, there was a spider crawling in the corner of the windshield of my mom’s car, and I began crying uncontrollably!” This confession may not sound unusual for many people, but it is for Gabriella “Gabby” Najm, Class of 2014. Since graduating from Chaminade, she has actually developed a close relationship with and deep understanding and appreciation of spiders. As an undergraduate at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), Gabby studied in the relatively small College of Creative Studies, where she majored in biology. She graduated in three years as the college allowed students to take as many courses as they wanted each semester. Gabby explains that the program was challenging and exciting since she was “able to take a variety of research-based courses as an undergraduate, including classes in ecology and evolutionary biology.” These subjects soon developed into passions for Gabby. In her second year at UCSB, Gabby enrolled in a general animal behavior class taught by Professor Jonathan Pruitt, currently the Canada 150 Research Chair in Biological Dystopias at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. Highly inspired by Professor Pruitt, Gabby inquired if she could be his teaching assistant, and he agreed. In her third year of college, Gabby aided
Dr. Pruitt as he revamped the animal behavior class curriculum. Acting as Pruitt’s primary assistant, Gabby helped organize over 100 undergraduate students in the new class. The scope and sequence of the class narrowed, and the material now focused on the study of social spiders. Gabby’s voice comes alive as she discusses the subjects of her work, once her greatest fear. She explains that “there are over 40,000 species of spiders throughout the world, and only thirty species possess the trait of being ‘social.’ Shyness is an overarching character of spiders, but when even one bold spider, called a ‘keystone individual,’ is injected into a colony of typical spiders, the group changes and becomes four times as fast to respond to stimuli.” The most engaging element of her research into the world of spiders is the qualities that spiders exhibit in their social constructs that parallel human interaction. Spiders gravitate toward each other and live in colonies ranging from a small number to thousands of members. Gabby’s research centers upon spiders that inhabit South Africa, and they capture food together while collectively caring for their young and protecting their communities. The distinct personality differences in spiders intrigue Gabby, and in reference to a recent Harvard study, she explains: “Just as one aggressive human can influence a workplace, the same is true for spiders. When that individual leaves in either species, the environment changes again.”
Gabby urges high school students to explore science-related opportunities in their communities at colleges or local organizations. She also emphasizes the importance of writing in any career. She never imagined the extensive role that writing would play in her science classes and fieldwork, but “both the critical thinking and analytic writing skills so emphasized at Chaminade helped tremendously” in her studies and work. She also envisions that newer programs and classes at Chaminade such as the AP Capstone Program and coding courses will have great potential for budding scientists. She reflects that when students “come up with an original idea, work through a literature review, learn research methodologies, and practice computer programming, the benefit for their possible future in science is valuable.” A scientist who innately appreciates both studying in the classroom and lab and exploring nature, Gabby offers sound advice to high school students: “Examining the world around us is really cool. Be sure to always observe the details in our world on both a small-scale, like inspecting spiders, and on a larger scale, such as caring for the environment.”
Gabby never imagined the extensive role that writing would play in her science classes and fieldwork, but “both the critical thinking and analytic writing skills so emphasized at Chaminade helped tremendously” in her studies and work.
Gabby took a year off from school after earning her undergraduate degree to build her résumé. As a scientist, she realizes the importance of fieldwork, and in 2017, she reached out to Noa Pinter-Wollman, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), to work with her and gain more experience. Gabby is now following the educational path of Dr. Pinter-Wollman as she just completed her first year of a five-year Ph.D. Program at UCLA studying ecology and evolutionary biology, and she plans to one day enjoy a career as a college professor, perhaps somewhere in the Midwest.

Fr. Ted ley ’58 60-Year Jubilee
On Saturday, June 8, Chaminade Chaplain Fr. Ted Ley '58 celebrated his 60Year Jubilee, in Cupertino, California, with fellow Marianist brothers and priests. Fr. Ted’s journey began, as a student on the original Chaminade campus in Cheviot Hills. He was the fifth student body president and the first “Mr. Chaminade” (the equivalent of today’s “Regal Eagle”). He directed the music in Chaminade plays and was also involved in speech and debate. He graduated in 1958.
the national Salute to the States bicentennial program. In 1976, Fr. Ted founded the Schola Cantorum of the Pacific, which provides free music education to children in need. Today the Schola supports a school choir program, called the Escolania Pacifica, at Assumption School in Boyle Heights.
Fr. Ted was the first Marianist “Aspirant” in a new program for students who wanted to join the Brothers but needed to stay home until after high school. After professing perpetual Marianist vows and completing seminary studies, Fr. Ted was the first priest in Los Angeles to be ordained in the new Vatican II English liturgy. Father Ted is the last Chaminade staff member to have taught on the original Cheviot Hills campus in 1960. Throughout his career, he served schools in California, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Switzerland.
He returned to Chaminade in 2000 and currently serves as chaplain and in 2018, he was named a Founder. He has served as a Marianist vocation minister and as liturgy director for national Marianist retreats.
Fr. Ted came from a musical family. In 1963, he won the choir conducting prize of the American Guild of Organists. In 1973, he and co-author Bro. Gary Morris took their student rock opera, Everymania, based on the play Everyman, from Hawaii to Her Majesty’s Theatre in Melbourne, Australia. In 1976, Fr. Ted produced the 50th State’s Bicentennial Banquet at the Waikiki Sheraton, and his youth choir represented Hawaii in

A Marianist Brother tries to be a brother to everyone. That is what I have tried to do. When we live as brothers and sisters, it is a more generous, fairer world! -Fr. Ted Ley

making their mark at college graduations MARY KATHLEEN (MK) SMITH ’15 graduated from
Villanova University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences where she completed a double-major in Arab and Islamic Studies and Political Science. During her time at Villanova, she was involved in diversity and inclusion efforts, led two service justice experiences, and the association for change and transformation. She was the Select Research Presenter for the United States Military Academy Ethics of War Conference; Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom School Conference; and Middle East Studies Students Association Conference. MK also received the Ron Cruse International Fellowship, a university-wide program that annually awards up to two $5,000 fellowships for undergraduate student involvement in non-traditional global study and experience.
JEREMY MARSH ’16 felt honored when asked to speak at his graduation from George Washington University (GW). It was an honor well deserved since Jeremy graduated in just three short years and in the top 2% of students at GW, for which he received the Outstanding Academic Achievement Award. “I graduated in three years, thanks to AP’s from Chaminade,” says Marsh, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in political science with a minor in journalism/mass communication. He was in a Dual-Degree program which allowed him to take three graduate classes while still an undergrad. Marsh also received the Joshua Evans II prize for “top graduating seniors in Political Science.” Honored with the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences (CCAS) Distinguished Scholar Award, which is given to two graduating seniors in the CCAS program at GW. This award recognizes students who have excelled academically and shown commitment to scholarship through participation in research or other academic leadership activities. Such a distinction meant that Marsh was to speak at graduation.
MK was selected to speak at her commencement through a competition. Dozens of students from each of Villanova’s four colleges are invited to compete based on their GPA, service record, and leadership record. Those who accept the invitation must prepare sample speeches and present them before an advisory panel. The college advisory panel then selects one person, who advances to the intercollegiate competition. Before the deans of all colleges, the four finalists (one from each college) present their speeches. The deans then deliberate and select the final commencement speaker. At commencement, MK was awarded The Medallion for Academic Excellence, Arab and Islamic Studies, an annual award given to recognize the accomplishments of select graduates. Department chairs and faculty consider criteria including cumulative grade point average, excellence in research, academic creativity, and demonstrated commitment to the values of a liberal arts education. She was also on the Villanova University Dean’s List all four years. She recently accepted a new position as the Director of Communication for the Arab Studies Institute in Washington, DC.
Marsh also achieved distinction with an academic record of excellence while working as a research assistant for political science courses and also working part-time outside the university. He served as an intern with both Congress and The Cook Political Report. Marsh is now an Associate at the Klein/ Johnson Group, a bipartisan lobbying and public policy firm, and is working toward a master’s degree at the GW Graduate School of Political Management.
