View from the Top Fall 2022

Looking back on the past year, I am captured and inspired by the challenges we have faced together as we navigated the journey back to school follow ing a long, difcult and disruptive COVID-19 pandemic experience. We prepared for return to school in every way possible; what we didn’t understand fully was the impact this 18-month hiatus would have on our community, faculty, staff and students alike. This past year found us deliberately seeking to mend minds, hearts and spirits across our beau tiful campus. As a result, mending truly happened among us. I am always grateful to celebrate those “silver linings” that appeared and kept us focused on our strong, consistent return to a great school year.

A big, beautiful cloud with a huge silver lining hovered over Flintridge Sacred Heart throughout the year 2021-22. We celebrated our 90th Anniversary in every month and for every reason! It was a joy to step back and take a long, loving look at how this beautiful Mission on the Hill has grown and is thriving! The care and guidance of the Dominican Sisters and our dedicated lay colleagues have established a powerful Catholic, Dominican, community that educates young women for a life of faith, integrity and truth. Parents from across Los Angeles and into the world have sent their daughters to Flintridge Sacred Heart, part nering with us to ensure and collaborate with us in providing an amazing Catholic Dominican education. This is a part nership we celebrate with joy! Thank you for the privilege of educating your daughters!

Deeply embedded in this letter is our deep gratitude for all your support. Last year opened with a beautiful renovation

of our Residential Life living spaces, including air-condi tioning in every room! Our residential life students were so grateful! This positive improvement led us into an amazing fund-raising year, with record numbers in all our events! Thank you for your steady, consistent generosity and the many ways you have participated in the life of the school. We have treasured memories of the Johansing Golf Tournament and immense gratitude for the energy and vigor we expe rienced at Gala 2022—oh, what a night! Our collaboration in fund-raising this year, both individually and collectively, allowed us to initiate and complete Phase II of the Class room Renovation Project, “Building Tomorrow Today.” Please take time to come and see the innovative result of our work together at the high school.

As we look forward to this new school year, we are excited about new initiatives that are engaging our community in Global Initiatives. Our participation in the Round Square or ganization’s network of more than 220 international schools and our participation in Round Square’s International Confer ence (RSIC) are wonderful opportunities; from on-site Zoom connections to in-person experiences, we all look forward to our TOLOGS Going Global!

THE BROKEN WORLD WAITS IN DARKNESS FOR THE LIGHT THAT IS YOU.

- Anonymous.

Finally, at our Faculty and Staff Retreat in August, we made a commitment to our Mission on the Hill and agreed to work together toward being in Right Relationship Within, Among and Beyond. This goal rises out of our Catholic Dominican mission, sustained and supported by the Dominican Sisters for over 90 years! Our intention is to engage you in exploring and unpacking the blessings of living in Right Relationship through honest encounter, genuine dialogue and evident inclusion as we continue our justice journey empowered by God’s love. May the light that is Flintridge Sacred Heart brighten the darkness of our world.

With gratitude,

Sister Carolyn McCormack, O.P. President

BUILDING RIGHT RELATIONSHIP

ALIGNING ACTION WITH OUR DOMINICAN CHARISM

If one word captures the animating spirit of Flintridge

Sacred Heart, it is VERITAS. Veritas, Latin for “truth,” is both a touchstone for our Dominican Catholic identity and the mission we seek to live each day: to permeate our community with a shared passion for truth.

Seeking Veritas as a Catholic Dominican learning community is both a gift and a task. We recognize that we are gifted with innate desires to both “know” and to “love.” St. Augustine reminds us that our human hearts are “restless” until they are able to rest in the beauty, goodness and truth of our God. Indeed, the search for truth is the journey of a lifetime, it is the task of a lifetime: to live our own truth both inwardly and outwardly. How does a school committed to Veritas integrate the value into the fber of its institution? For Flintridge Sacred Heart, the answer is found in the intentional practice of “Right Relationship.”

“Right Relationship is the state of being in which our inner dispositions of mind and heart are in alignment with our actions.”

Our Dominican Sisters offer us these words describing Right Relationship and invite us to consider what it means for Flintridge Sacred Heart to commit to Right Relationship. For the Sisters, our school’s sponsor, it is critical that their ministries refect their mission and identity as members of the Order of Preachers. This means consciously choosing to live in “Right Relationship: Within, Among and Beyond”: the guiding principle for all future directions of the Sisters and their ministries.

For Sr. Colleen Mary Mallon, Director of Adult Mission Formation, the way towards Right Relationship begins on the personal level.

“ “

RIGHT RELATIONSHIP IS THE STATE OF BEING IN WHICH OUR INNER DISPOSITIONS OF MIND AND HEART ARE IN ALIGNMENT WITH OUR ACTIONS.

- Sister Colleen Mary Mallon Director of Adult Mission Formation

“We start with ourselves, just as St. Catherine of Siena says, ‘Be who you are meant to be and you will set the world on fre!’ We want our community members to be consciously self-refective, that is, to be in touch with their unique gifts, talents, challenges and questions, what I would call, their “spirit.” Getting conscious of our “spirit” (becoming self-refective) is the frst step towards growing our inner life. This is where prayer plays an important role. God is always with us when we choose to grow in selfknowledge. That is why self-knowledge was so important to St. Catherine. With an honest sense of who we are, our strengths and our growing edges, our interior sense of self strengthens and hopefully this sense of self infuences how we choose to show up in the world. Right Relationship “within” is a journey towards that healthy alignment where our behaviors express ‘who we are’ in ways that are life-afrming and open to reality as it comes to us.”

THE DOMINICAN PILLARS

A commitment to Right Relationship clearly expresses the mission of the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose. The worldwide Dominican Order promotes holistic education and the pursuit of truth in service of the preaching mis sion — spreading the Gospel through words and actions to inspire change. Specifcally, our Sisters’ Mission State ment expresses their gospel commitment by “evangelizing, preaching, educating and promoting justice and peace.” And the four pillars of prayer, study, community and service inform all our initiatives for Right Relationship so neces sary for our times.

The pillar of prayer corresponds with all phases of growth towards Right Relationship. Through prayer, we are called to give ourselves to God in humility. As we refect on our dispositions of mind and heart we can gain clarity to learn, question, and act in new ways that correspond to the invi tations of grace we receive through our prayer. In prayer we can bring our total self to a loving God whose only desire is that we know and grow in our identity as God’s beloved child. This is the frst truth that informs and guides all other identities.

- Sister Colleen Mary Mallon Director of Adult Mission Formation Alumnae Association President

The practice of self-refection helps us become better community members. We recognize areas of personal growth, learning to reframe feedback as information and as an opportunity to become a better version of ourselves. How we encounter and interact with others holds great potential for growth in accountability and respect among all our relationships whether within the Flintridge Sacred Heart community or among other communities, including our families.

“Growing in Right Relationship as a school community invites all of us to grow in personal integrity and communal connection,” Sr. Colleen said, “Our Dominican Pillars support this commitment.”

In study, we can approach reality with discerning eyes. Right Relationship calls us to think about how we re spond to new information about ourselves and our world. Through assiduous study, deep introspection and obser vation we learn about our place in the world as co-creators of God’s dream for God’s world. What am I curious about? Where do I fnd joy in learning? What assumptions and biases distort how I see reality? Can I recognize where study is guiding me to ask new questions for myself and my community, and then learn how to respond with courage and grace?

We do not pursue Veritas in isolation. We come to know Veritas only in the company of others, in community. Because the search for truth is demanding, we need good companions who will listen with us, share their experiences and challenge our horizons. We can only do this well within an authentic community where we see and center the humanity of each other. This is a challenging call to action, to become a reconciling community where human beings, simultaneously “fabulous and fawed,” can fnd grace to gether and fourish in an environment of dignity and mutual respect. Restorative practices that center accountability to one another in contrast to practices that blame and shame are an important way forward for us as we seek to live the pillar of community.

“ “

GROWING IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIP AS A SCHOOL COMMUNITY INVITES ALL OF US TO GROW IN PERSONAL INTEGRITY AND COMMUNAL CONNECTION.

The pillar of service invites us to live our values “out loud” and guides our calling to build the kingdom of God. As Sr. Colleen shares “service is a gift of self to the world.”

Flintridge Sacred Heart is centered in the commitment of Dominican women who have generously served for the last 91 years as instruments of gospel hope. As a community, Sisters and lay partners together, we respond wholeheart edly to human need and offer support not only to our own community, but also the greater Los Angeles area, and to the global community through domestic and international service initiatives.

MOVING FORWARD IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIP

Veritas calls us to live in Right Relationship and the prac tice of living in Right Relationship enables us to seek truth with compassion and humility. Centered in Catholic Social Teaching and the four pillars of Dominican Spirituality, we invite our Flintridge Sacred Heart community to “a daily commitment of making the gospel of inclusive love, and reconciling restorative practices the center of our being and doing.” When we “amplify our practices of belonging” we are consciously welcoming the Holy Spirit into our school community. It is the Spirit of God that encourages and enables all our desires to practice “honest encounter, genuine dialogue and evident inclusion.”

QUESTIONS FOR FURTHER REFLECTION

Where in my life do I experience the grace and the challenge of living in “Right Relationship”?

How do I grow in self knowledge? What do I notice about myself? Do my actions align with my inner light/guidance? What supports my wholehearted engagement with my own spiritual growth?

How am I relating to others, to my family? Can I recognize what needs doing, and then learn how to respond?

“

VERITAS CALLS US TO LIVE IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIP AND THE PRACTICE OF LIVING IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIP ENABLES US TO SEEK TRUTH WITH COMPASSION AND HUMILITY.

LA CAÑADA HONORS FLINTRIDGE SACRED HEART’S 90TH ANNIVERSARY

SENIORS HONOR NURSE KATHY DURING HALLOWEEN ON THE HILL

Halloween on the Hill is always a big deal! This year, the senior class made it even more special as they all dressed up like our beloved Nurse Kathy. Nurse Kathy kept us all up-to-date on the many twists and turns of COVID-19, and was always there with a smile if someone did feel ill. We couldn’t have done it without her. The sea of lab coats, scrubs, fanny packs and masks is a tribute to that.

The La Cañada Flintridge City Council presented Flintridge Sacred Heart with a proclamation in celebration of the school’s 90th Anniversary at City Hall. Sister Carolyn McCormack was on hand to accept the honor from Councilmembers and the Mayor who was present virtually. Councilmembers remarked on Flintridge Sacred Heart’s positive effect on the education of young women and on the community as a whole. The proclamation recognized the school’s history and its mission to help its students pursue a life flled with faith, integrity and truth.

FLINTRIDGE SACRED HEART RECOGNIZED FOR RENAISSANCE LEADERSHIP

Flintridge Sacred Heart Renaissance Leadership was globally rec ognized as a Distinguished School of Jostens Renaissance. The program is a global student leadership organization that focuses on providing resources to help schools create a vibrant school climate and culture. The group was founded in the spring of 2017 by Tologs who were dedicated to encouraging and recognizing a sense of pride that refects the school’s academic performance, engagement, and community spirit. Five years later, our Renais sance leaders have made many impactful traditions that inspire our community as a whole.

STUDENTS & FACULTY SERVE IN COSTA RICA AS PART OF GLOBAL INITIATIVES PROGRAM

During Spring Break, 10 students went to Costa Rica as part of the school’s Global Initiatives program, led by our Director of Commu nity Life, Juli James with support from faculty members, Jessie Ryan and Christine Orihuela. This amazing experience included community development and service in La Fortuna, wildlife re habilitation work, surfng, zip lining, cultural immersion, Spanish practice, and much more! Students recorded a journal of each day in Costa Rica, to keep an account about their many adventures.

RESIDENTIAL LIFE PROGRAM CELEBRATES

HOLIDAYS OF NATIVE COUNTRIES

Throughout the year, the residential life program hosted a num ber of celebrations honoring the various cultures that are repre sented throughout the hall. The festivities drew a large number of both day and residential students. The dinners sought to foster the building of new relationships and community through table top activities. Festivities included Lunar New Year, Canada Day, Thanksgiving, Mid-Autumn Festival and Hispanic Heritage Month. In 2021-22, Flintridge Sacred Heart welcomed students from eight countries and four states.

CULTIVATING CURIOUS MINDS

RESEARCH AT FLINT RIDGE SACRED HEART

Showing off a Senior Research

How often are you able to listen to high school students present research with such titles as “How to Make Medical Implants Safer: The Answer Might be in Red Wine” and “May the Force Be with You, and Also with You: Luke Skywalker-Christ of Star Wars”?

When students begin their college careers, they often fnd themselves overwhelmed by the amount of re search that has to be done. The graduating seniors at Flintridge Sacred Heart will have no such struggle. The fruits of their four-year experience in the school’s unique research program culminated during the Senior Research Showcase. At the Showcase, students enthu siastically and passionately shared fndings from their year-long research projects.

language barriers on access to healthcare to the con sequences of post-Civil War politics on Black families. Honors engineering students used research methods to create and test brand new technology such as an integrated machine learning camera for wildlife detec tion and a portable prosthetic cooling system for lower extremity amputees.

Flintridge Sacred Heart’s groundbreaking research program was created to give young women experience writing and presenting at the quality that is immediately expected of them their freshman year of college. University-level instructors and librarians expressed that freshmen were entering without the mindset and skills required to carry out research.

“We start by cultivating curious minds. We encourage students to blend personal interests with academic ones as they explore the complex systems that make up our modern world. The capstone project refects all that they learned through the year-long process,” said Nora Murphy, the creator and director.

For their senior projects, students were encouraged to pursue areas that interested them. Projects covered subjects such as psychology, religion, the arts, and gender studies, with topics ranging from the impact of

At Flintridge Sacred Heart, learning and practicing research skills isn’t a one-day lesson or even a semes ter course. It is integrated into every class and subject from day one, but has a specifc focus in the last year. After four years of growing research profciency, these young women have the tools for questioning, synthe sizing and presenting information of all kinds. The Re search Showcase demonstrates that Flintridge Sacred Heart seniors are up to the challenges of college and beyond.

SENIORS REWIND ON LAST FOUR YEARS

By Caitlin Cruz, Editor-in-Chief

Ding-dong. The doorbell rings and with nerves and excite ment you rush to the door to see if the long-awaited red admissions box has come to let you know if you have been accepted to Flintridge Sacred Heart. A grin from ear to ear appears on your face as you see it on the foor. Opening it up, you start to envision the world of possibilities that high school on the Hill has to offer: compelling classes, soonto-be-best friends, overnight retreats, next-level sports, dances and so much more. You can’t wait to see how the next four years will all pan out.

This thrilling moment described took place four years ago for this year’s seniors. To say the least, the class of 2022 has gone through it all. They came in as 14-year-olds who’d never taken an AP, never driven a car and never heard of

Covid. Now that they’re about to leave, they’re in a position to refect on everything that they’ve gone through. “Going in, I thought I was going to be met with this class of perfect girls that I could fnd this perfect friend group in, and the more I went to school, the more I found myself being friends with a lot of different people, and I found my self really enjoying not having one solidifed group,” Helena Locateli ‘22 said.

When talking with the current seniors, much of what they had to say about their time on the Hill had to do with the relationships formed with their fellow sisters.

“I wish I was more positive and outgoing the frst three years because this year was the only year that I really came out of my shell and gave more chances to people outside

of my friend group, which actually turned out to be a great decision,” Lanna Megerdichian ‘22 said.

The seniors are taking their last few months to refect on the last four years and the personal growth they have made as young individuals.

“I think my attitude could have been better in high school, but I wouldn’t change anything. I’m for sure going to miss coming up here every day and seeing this group of girls. I truly don’t think there was a better ft for me,” Locateli said.

The class of 2022 had an unusual factor to get through given that they were one of the classes hit by a global pandemic. But even though Covid may have changed a lot about high school, the class of 2022 handled it with poise.

“I’m not that disappointed. Even though Covid did hit and prevented us from some traditional aspects of high school, it gave us a new perspective of our four years and gave us an experience that no other class would have,” Isabella Cao ‘22 said. “I’m just grateful that we can come together for our last year on the Hill and still be able to make new friends,

try new things and of course take part in the typical senior season of prom, Disneyland and privileges.”

Out of everything Covid affected, the one thing seniors most regret missing is the grade-level retreats. “It was a bit sad that our class didn’t partake in any of the big retreats, starting with the FSHlumber party, then the sophomore and junior year retreats and now the senior retreat, be cause I feel our class isn’t as close as it could have been,” Megerdichian said.

While the class of 2022 defnitely had an out-of-the-ordi nary high school experience, most of them would prefer the term “extraordinary.”

“Yeah sure, we had our ups and downs, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything; it made me the person I am today,” Sara Park ‘22 said.

THE AUTHENTICITY OF SERVICE ON THE HILL

By Siena Urquiza, Associate Editor

An eager pack of Tologs equipped with gloves, shovels and trash bags jumps out of the FSH shuttle van after a one-hour drive to the beach. As the sea breeze hits their warm faces, they begin their trek in the sand on their hunt for trash. After a few hours of picking up litter, the club members head home exhausted from what their day of service has brought them.

Service is one of the four Dominican Pillars, which also in clude study, prayer and community. These Pillars are guid ing principles for life at Flintridge Sacred Heart. Flintridge Sacred Heart’s approach to community service for Tologs is the school’s Dominican Service Program, which focuses on outreach service and service-learning. Outreach service is helping others through direct involvement in communities through projects like beach clean-ups, while service-learn ing is a more involved process that starts with researching why Tologs are helping a certain community before going into that community to put that research to work.

Service hours through both service-learning and outreach service are implemented in various ways, including through clubs, co-curriculars and afnity groups.

“We have a requirement for a grade nine [and 10] service; juniors and seniors intertwine service in religion class and in their [research projects]. All co-curriculars are required to do one service,” Director of Community Life Dr. Juli James said.

Students at FSH appreciate the service program because of the opportunities provided for Tologs to develop as people and help communities in need.

“Service has brought about a lot of transformative experi

ences for all of us, it gives us joy, and we met a lot of great people while doing something good for the community around us,” Faith Blea ‘22, who is the service chair of Round Square, an international club for schools that features a service component, said.

Service makes a difference in those communities, and it helps Tologs grow spiritually. It also, however, boosts their college applications.

The challenge that FSH’s program faces is making sure the service done is authentic and consistent with the values associated with the Dominican Pillars. The challenge is making sure that students are not doing service to make their college applications look good.

“The fact that we have required service does make it a little bit fake for some people. I think it’s good that they’re doing the service, obviously,” Cassie Huston ’23 said. “But we could still work on why we’re doing the service [and ensure] it comes from the right place.”

Sometimes service is done to put on college applications,

and because of this, some Tologs see the motivations for volunteering as less than genuine.

“I was talking with my college counselor and he said that, apparently, if [college admissions] just see you start doing service junior year, it’s obvious that you’re just doing it for college,” Huston said.

Administrators on the Hill are attempting to address the challenge of inauthentic motivations to complete service. They want to push students to seek service opportunities they care about so that they are fully invested in the cause and want to help others rather than do service for comple tion and academic reward.

“Service should be from heart and head. You’re giving because you want to; it changes you in some way. You are learning something about the world, about the community by doing service,” Dr. James said.

One method to encourage investment in service at FSH is

Students participated in Days for Girls sewing reusable feminine hygiene kits for girls in remote areas of the world who lose access to education when they begin menstruating.

through research that allows students to understand the signifcance of their service.

“We see the most value in what is called service-learning, which is a little bit different from service work. It’s a com bination of what we think traditionally of service work com bined with learning about the root causes of the service need,” Director of Library Services and Research Program Ms. Nora Murphy said. “When you’re just doing service work without having investigated the need, the community, the root cause, it doesn’t create a lasting desire to continue with that level of service.”

At FSH, every senior takes a class with a research com ponent, such as Engineering for Social Good or Faith and Media. In these classes, Tologs research the root cause of an issue that affects our world. Researching solutions to problems in the real world in the classroom through research is considered its own form of service-learning. “In the [class research projects], you’re learning about a

social issue, a problem facing our world, and then your service is how can I help fx it or meet the needs of that community I’m learning about?” religious studies teacher Ms. Kristina Ortega said.

Whether service is done through research or out in com munities, it is supposed to help people in need. FSH’s service program that has been integrated throughout the classes, co-curricular and clubs has one goal in mind, to help as many people and causes as possible.

“[The Dominican Service program on the Hill] really striv[es] for projects that everyone can easily participate in for the good of giving back to charity and our local com munities,” Blea said. “We strive really to build community through service and make this a key part of the school’s lifestyle.”

YOUR SUPPORT SPARKED HER PASSION

Alumnae support of the Flintridge Fund has continued the tradition of an independent Catholic, Dominican education where young women are encouraged to be courageous and embrace their passions. We are blessed and inspired by the legacy of support from our alumnae community as we empower young women to find their voice and embrace their passions.

NICOLE CHARKYCHAMI ‘06

My name is Nicole CharkyChami and I graduated from Flintridge Sacred Heart in 2006. In Fall 2022, I returned to the Hill as Communications Manager and Cross Country Assistant Coach. In many ways, it can be surreal to see teachers and staff that I knew as a student, and also see how the school has expanded. Although times have changed, the TOLOG spirit and mission is stronger than ever.

I’ve spent the last decade working in newsrooms, startups and higher education. My education at Flintridge Sacred Heart inspired me to pursue truth as a journalist, producer and educator. The commitment to equity and social justice that started in the classroom infuenced my career decisions and every move I’ve made as a working professional.

This community completely changed the course of my life and gave me the courage to seek my passions. It sent me on a path to pursue truth in my professional life as a journalist and gave me the confdence to grow. As a teenager, Flintridge Sacred Heart was a source of stability, support and kindness. Even when my home life was rocky, this school community, my classmates and teachers were always there for me.

The news business can be a tough industry. And my determination to keep going started because I was inspired as a young woman to value dedication and resilience. Flintridge Sacred Heart helped defne my character. I trusted myself and valued education because it was something no one could take away from me. That all started on the Hill.

“

FLINTRIDGE SACRED HEART HELPED DEFINE MY CHARACTER. I TRUSTED MYSELF AND VALUED EDUCATION BECAUSE IT WAS SOMETHING NO ONE

COULD TAKE AWAY FROM ME. THAT ALL STARTED ON THE HILL.

Flintridge Sacred Heart is a special place and without my teachers and mentors — without their dedication — I would not have found my spark or persevered through challenging times. My curiosity and dreams all stemmed from fnding my passions at Flintridge Sacred Heart. It’s why I returned to the Hill. It’s why I support the Flintridge Fund wholeheartedly.

QWHY DOES YOUR FAMILY SUPPORT THE FLINTRIDGE FUND?

“I have always held a frm belief in the mission of Flintridge Sacred Heart and I want to do what I can to make sure the school can carry on its mission from year to year. Graduates of Flintridge Sacred Heart have gone on to become outspoken advocates for social issues like women’s rights, poverty, healthcare and diversity. It’s imperative that this school continues the important work of preparing graduates of Flintridge Sacred Heart to be effective leaders in their communities.”

Flintridge Sacred Heart empowers girls to fnd their voice, embrace their passions, align their goals with their true selves, and pursue their goals with determination. Alumnae support of the Flintridge Fund ensures that students can explore their interests from the arts, athletics, STEM and more.

A MESS AGE FROM

THE PRESIDENT OF T HE ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION

- Jenna Gulick ‘13 Alumnae Association President

It’s hard to believe we’ve reached November already!

The start of a new academ ic year always feels like a new beginning for all of us. We’re ushering in a new freshmen class, new board members, and newly graduated members of our alumnae community.

When I had the opportunity to speak at this year’s graduation, I felt both excited and nervous for a very specifc reason: I had deep respect for the resilience, talent, and intelligence of these soon—to—be graduates. It seemed - and still seems - that they had much more wisdom than I did when I was a senior at Flintridge Sacred Heart. So, I decided all I could do was to celebrate what I know to be true. Like any graduating class, they are only beginning to leave behind their own legacy. They’ve already lived through history—and they’re already starting to make it, too.

If you’re among the class of 2022, then please consider this another hearty congratulations and warm welcome. If you’ve already been part of this alum community, whether it’s been a few years or many decades, then please know how much you are still treasured and celebrated. There has never been a better time to acknowledge and harness our unique experiences, so we can ensure an empowering future for generations of students to come.

Thank you for your continued presence in our community. It wouldn’t be the same without you, and your impact truly makes a difference, both for fellow graduates and today’s students.

Wishing you the best,

It took just one year of living on campus in the resi dence hall for Lisa to feel part of the Flintridge Sacred Heart community and embrace all that the school provides. Lisa learned to be confdent, thanks to the experiences, teachers, Sisters, and classmates that surrounded her. Browne-Banic and a fellow Tolog started the frst ever Cross-Country team at Flintridge Sacred Heart, which was coached by her AP Math teacher.

She is grateful to the Sisters, her teachers, and her lifelong friendships for getting her through even the toughest of times. According to Lisa, her greatest accom plishment was having her daughter. When she looks at her daughter now, she sees a young girl who has the courage to do whatever she sets her mind to. “I know in my heart she learned that from me, and I learned that from Flintridge Sa cred Heart,” said Brown-Banic. our service men and women for your time, dedication and service to our country.

ALESANDRA “ALI” LOZANO ‘08, MSW

VO TING RIGHTS OUTREACH

COOR DINATOR

Texas Civil Rights Project

Alesandra “Ali” Lozano ‘08, an author and speaker on the voting rights circuit in Texas, originally wanted to pursue a career in international affairs with an emphasis on Latin America. It wasn’t until her time at George Washington Uni versity, where she joined an LGBTQ non-violent civil disobedi ence group, that the entire trajectory of her career began to shift as she discovered a passion for local politics.

While a community organizer in DC, she snagged a political fellowship at the Women’s Campaign Fund, now called She Should Run, a women-led political organization conducting electoral campaign work. Responsible for recruiting candi dates to run, Lozano was passionate about her work on the campaigns. In 2013, Lozano moved to Texas, continuing her work at the same organization remotely. She started to take interest in the electoral landscape in Texas, and realized she wanted to get more involved in the voting rights space. She landed a job in the outreach department at the Texas Freedom Network, which specializes in mobilizing college students to become civically engaged and registered to vote. Through her work, she saw how college students, Black, Latinx and other Texans of color face restrictions in exer cising their right to vote without intimidation. “Working on voting rights felt like the space where I could have the biggest impact on the things I want to see changed in this country,” said Lozano.

Now, Lozano advocates for the disenfranchised in her community and by extension for all of us. Her commitment to social justice is inspiring to all of us. She will surely be a national leader in the near term.

BRITTANY MARIE SALAS ‘09

CREATOR OF SĀDU Climate Crisis App

Brittany Salas graduated from Flintridge Sacred Heart in 2009. After leaving the Hill she wanted to pursue a career in inter national relations and economic development so she made the choice to go to Fordham University where she was a dou ble major in International Political Economy and Philosophy. While at Fordham she participated and led three international volunteering projects to Ecuador and South Africa respec tively. She also continued her career as a D1 springboard div er, making it to Atlantic 10 fnals for three consecutive years.

After college Salas spent a year working in New York City as an economic development policy advocate. As a policy advocate she helped allocate a million dollars in city funding for worker cooperative training programs, which helped small businesses transition into an employee owned and operated governance structure. Then she went to NYU for a Master in Global Affairs with a focus on Energy and Environmental Policy.

While in Berlin Salas started a climate tech innovation platform to develop innovation strategies for energy utilities and scout for investment opportunities on behalf of venture capital funds. Ultimately this journey gave her insight into why climate change was happening and how difcult it was to create an adequate response to the crisis. She decided to use this information to start a company of her own and tackle the problem head on. Salas shared that what she has ac complished thus far was infuenced by her time at Flintridge Sacred Heart and the focus on holistic development, includ ing community, sports and academics. Learning how to set a schedule, prioritize and stay dedicated throughout those four years, while also embracing the experience as a teenager in an all-girls school, created a set of everlasting positive habits that pervade her work today.

Currently Salas is the co-founder and CEO of Sādu, an app that rewards healthy lifestyles with trees planted in global reforestation projects. The app leverages smartwatches to connect a sense of personal well-being to the environment, allocating fnancial contributions to sustainability projects for every calorie burned and giving everyone the opportunity to invest in nature-based solutions to climate change.

When asked what she loves most about the school, Salas shared, “My family sacrifced a lot in order for me to go to Flintridge Sacred Heart and I want them to know that it was absolutely worth it. The standard to which we hold ourselves, as a community of graduates, is unparalleled and gives us the ability to accomplish amazing things! I am super grateful for the foundation Flintridge Sacred Heart created for me.”

DIANA LOEHR STONE ‘60

RETIRED MANAGER Moonfarmer.com

Diana Loehr Stone ‘60 is a retired Operations Manager at Moonfarmer.com. Throughout her career, she was a television and commercial flm producer, primarily working on public affairs and documentary pro gramming. She attended her 60th class reunion virtually in November 2020 when the traditional spring event got post poned due to COVID-19.

With applications now open for the 2022-23 school year, Stone shares some of her most memorable experiences, favorite spot on campus, and advice for those applying. When she was a student, attendance at morning Mass before school was an option; now, students attend special Masses about once a month on Holy Days. To this day, it feels natural for Stone to meditate, study beloved spiritual teachings and pray in the early mornings because of this experience attending Mass on the Hill. Her favorite spot on campus was study hall, which many may remember as enrichment, a time where students can meet with teachers or get a head start on homework or projects.

Stone also lived on the Hill and built impactful relationships and bonds with her fellow students in the residence hall. She feels joy and peaceful energy every time she is on the Hill. For those looking to apply to Flintridge Sacred Heart, Stone shares the following advice: “Follow your heart’s desire; if you feel a calling, a tug toward Flintridge Sacred Heart— do everything in your power to make it happen!”

ANNETTE RICCHIAZZI

IGNITING THE TOLOG SPIRIT

For Annette Ricchiazzi ‘90, ded ication to the spirit of Veritas did not end with her graduation. Even when her daughters left Flintridge Sacred Heart, she never stopped advocating for the school and its continued success. When she talks about Flintridge Sacred Heart, people can’t help but feel her enthusiasm and excite ment for this institution. She truly represents the school’s Domini can values.

Beyond embodying the Tolog spirit, Ricchiazzi answered the call to leadership. She served as Alumnae Association president for three years at a time when the association was not as strong. Through

‘90

Ricchiazzi’s leadership along with Sister Carolyn McCormack, O.P. and Paula Mayes Orlandini ‘71, the association has come back stron ger and more profound. She later served while a Tolog parent as a Parent Ambassador and President of Friends of the Arts. Drawing from her professional experience with educational institutions and non-proft organizations, she has been invaluable in helping the school thrive no matter what her role or responsibilities.

In her address to the class of 2012 she said that her connection to Flintridge Sacred Heart has been “truly a constant, never-fading source of light.” Ricchiazzi has kept that light burning bright within her and continues to ignite the spark in others as well.

SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY CARLA SUAREZ-CAPDET ‘98

CO-FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SALUD Y CARIÑO

She worked closely with Speak UP, an organization of parents advocating for equitable public education, and was recognized with the Parent of the Year Award in 2021.

Suarez-Capdet’s passion for her activism stemmed from her son Jordi, who was diagnosed with Autism.

She then focused her efforts not only on ensuring that her son’s needs were

met, but those of kids like him. She attended and spoke at count less school board meetings and was truly a force in special needs advocacy groups. She was deeply passionate and not afraid to speak her truth.

Her life embodied what it means to be a graduate of Flintridge Sacred Heart. Carla leaves a profound legacy of service that will live on within the hearts of everyone she met, and especially in her three boys.

I had the good fortune to be able to attend my 70th class reunion at Flintridge Sacred Heart this past April. Since I was the only one from the class of 1952 to attend and the oldest person there, I received the traditional long stemmed red roses and a standing ovation. My daughter Laura, who drove me to the event, and I were honored to have Sister Carolyn sit with us at our table. She was such a gracious host.

It’s been an interesting few years since the start of COVID, but my biggest news is I married the love of my life–Damien! We got married on March 5 in what was lovingly described as a beautiful, dark, Victorian fairytale wedding. Not only did I become a wife, but I became a Mom to his handsome 13-year-old son, Xander. We bought our home in Santa Clarita and are living our happily ever after.

In other news, after 23 years of working in radio, I crossed over to working as an Account Manager and Media Buyer at an ad agency. It’s been a nice change of pace and has given me back my nights and weekends so I can spend more time with my family.

We retained about 70 avocado trees and also some citrus. A veggie and herb garden is a must that we look forward to each year! In ad dition to farming, my husband and I run Strata Aviation Arts, a small art company honoring the heroes and legends of aviation history. One of our art pieces is hanging somewhere at Flintridge Sacred Heart honoring fellow alum, Beverly Beesemyer. I can’t believe 2021 marks our 50th anniversary of graduation from Flintridge Sacred Heart! I guess I won’t have to worry if my Golden Diploma is signed!

It’s true that time fies when you’re having fun! Cheers TOLOGS! I think of you often with fond memories.

Jennifer McDonald

I am the mother of two incredible sons, 18 and 20. I am currently the Executive Director of the Patient Experience for the Loma Linda University Health system. My role is to champion a cultural trans formation resulting in creating the optimal patient/family/staff/ provider/student experience.

Monica Simpson, Senior Pricing Analyst, Booz Allen Hamilton Monica Simpson’s father, an industrial engineer who raised his daughters to value math and science, made sure she dove into STEM head-on. “He had been a math teacher, and he expected us to do well. He would always tell us if you can do math, you can do anything.”

Simpson’s career certainly refects that. Spanning from industrial to cost engineering, she understands not only how things are produced but how to price that production. “‘ Pricing Analysts’ are the people who work with the proverbial ‘spreadsheets from Hell'” is how she jokingly explains her role at Booz Allen Hamilton.

“It keeps my brain active. I am always learning new things. And knowing how hard it is to develop, produce, market, sell and sus tain new technology gives me an appreciation for other tech I was never a part of developing.”

She believes there are many opportunities for women in the tech industry. “Women are incredibly fexible, have a great ability to multitask, and are emotionally intelligent. In today’s world of work, where there are virtual teams, teams of teams, lots of different specialties from various parts of an organization or business col laborating to innovate something new, those skills are important.”

She sees mentoring as key to growing the number of women in technology. “With women still seriously underrepresented in many STEM felds, it can be hard for a young woman to visualize and pursue success. Studies indicate that when women in STEM have female peers to support them, they’re less likely to drop out of doctoral programs,” she explains.

With that in mind, Simpson, who attributes her love of engineering to her passion for problem-solving, started a STEM club at St. Anthony Catholic School for her daughter and her classmates. “It’s very important if we want to encourage women in STEM and technology early on. It’s important to give back.”

She also speaks at schools to encourage students to pursue science. “It really makes a difference when you encourage people around you, and you treat people with respect, and you encourage them. When you look at someone, look at what’s the best they have in there. Bring the best out of them. Instead of looking at what’s wrong with them, look at what’s right with them.

“I was blessed to have a mom and dad who encouraged me in math and science, and I have had mentors encourage me when things got difcult or when I felt like giving up. That’s why I decided to give back to the community, encourage children and give them hope and open their eyes to STEM. We need to open their eyes to what they can see or what they can be.”

The Flintridge Sacred Heart community is saddened to report that Robert “Bob” Harper, father of Kathleen Harper ‘08, passed away peace fully in his home in La Cañada Flintridge on December 31, 2021, at the age of 71. Harper was an invaluable leader for Flintridge Sacred Heart during an important time of transformation. But more than that he was a father, a husband and a friend.

A tremendous supporter of Flintridge Sacred Heart, Harper served as Chair of the Board of Directors. His steady and thoughtful leadership helped evolve the Board’s role in the

school into what it is today. Harper helped guide the school through its frst strategic plan, led the construction of the Mozilo Center for the Arts and helped negotiate the Master Plan with the City of La Cañada Flintridge.

Throughout his personal and professional life, Harper re mained dedicated to his roots and constantly gave back to charitable causes, especially those that refected his love of Catholic education.

Harper ’s children Brendan, Matthew and Kathleen were able to spend signifcant time with him this past year as he battled cancer, listening to his stories, getting advice and relishing in his love. Joan was always at his side, giving him love, support and comfort to the end of his life. He is also survived by his sister Annette, her husband Mark, and niece Christina.

A MESSAGE FROM SARAH SIMA MCCANN

CHAIR, BOARD OF DIRECTORS

On behalf of the Board of Directors, faculty, staff, and students, I would like to express our gratitude and ap preciation for your prayers and support throughout the 2021-2022 school year. Flintridge Sacred Heart celebrated 90 years last year with wonderful achievements and great success.

With our students back on campus, the Mozilo Family Center for the Arts has once again been flled with creative energy and inspiring performances; student-athletes resumed the legacy of competitive sports; Academic Decathlon and Speech & Debate carried on with great successes and accolades, and the Senior Research Showcase amazed and opened our eyes to what is possible in our world.

Flintridge Sacred Heart engaged its membership in Round Square, attending international conferences, meetings, and service trips abroad to discover and embrace different cultures and nationalities in ways that promote important and lasting understanding and respect.

The inaugural Bridge Scholarships were awarded to several incoming students, the Johansing Golf Tournament saw its highest attendance yet, and the funds raised at our annual Gala hit record highs in support of the Phase II classroom renovation project. This summer, our campus realized this second phase of renovation on time and within budget, providing vibrant and inspired learning spaces this Fall.

With joy and renewed spirit, we are back to school!

As we look ahead, we are focused on our commitment to mis sion - being in right relationship within, among and beyond.

‘96

The theme of right relationship, as refected in Catholic Social Teach ing, echoes throughout our academic spaces, on our athletic felds and courts, and in the souls and expres sions of our artists. Our Dominican values and Catholic heritage are instilled in the foundation of Flintridge Sacred Heart. Our mission is alive on the Hill.

We continue to appreciate our outstanding faculty and staff who are committed to providing the strongest educational experience for our students, continuously inspiring our girls to discover their voices, to question their world, and to know themselves. The spirit of our alumnae community adds to the student experience daily through the presence and impact of many talented alumnae employees and seasonal coaches and over 30 legacy Tologs.

Now, we look towards the future and to the initiation of a leader ship succession plan several years in the making. The Board has been intentional about forming a strategy to ensure a smooth and successful transition of leadership and retention of our mission and values. This year, it is with great fondness and deep gratitude that we prepare for Sr. Celeste’s departure, joining in celebration to honor her 20 years of leadership and her mean ingful legacy on the Hill.

The Board of Directors are grateful to our community and share excitement for our school’s future.

Warm Regards,

Sarah Sima McCann ‘96 Chair, Board of Directors

Dear Flintridge Sacred Heart Community,

AS WE LOOK AHEAD, WE ARE FOCUSED ON OUR COMMITMENT TO MISSION - BEING IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITHIN, AMONG AND BEYOND.

BUILDING TOMORROW TODAY

CAMPAIGN UPDATE

As a Catholic, Dominican school, Flintridge Sacred Heart is committed to educating the whole person in a setting that allows adolescent girls to fourish into young women who are well-prepared for college and beyond. The school is continually updating its programs, curriculum and physical spaces to carry on these traditions of excellence.

In 2017, the school began the “Building Tomorrow Today” capital campaign, which raised funds to renovate the middle hallway and classrooms of the main school building. This was followed by the recent opening of the Mozilo Family Center for the Arts and the renovation of the Residential Life Building.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Flintridge Sacred Heart was able to begin remodeling of the freshman wing of the building. The proceeds from the spring Gala went directly to this project. The remodeling of the freshman wing includes upgrades to classrooms, creating new state-of-the-art learning spaces to help students excel as well as renovations to the hallways and corridor.

These renovated classrooms will improve outcomes today and inspire our students to dream big, think creatively, and pursue their passions wherever life takes them.

Phase Three - the fnal stage in this project - will begin in May 2023. We invite you to partner with us to transform our high school classrooms into 21st century student-centered learning spaces where our students are empowered to wonder, be curious and seek truth in an environment best suited to their needs.

For more information and naming opportunities, please contact Katie McGorman at kmcgorman@fsha.org or (626) 685-8550.

THE BRIDGE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

In 2021, we introduced the Bridge Scholarship Program, a scholarship award designed to fund the gap between the cost of tuition and the amount that families can afford to pay, up to 90% of tuition and fees annually. Bridge Scholars from low- and moderate-income families will qualify for not only tuition assistance, but waivers for uniforms, books and activity fees to ensure that these students will have the full educational experience and take advantage of all of the opportunities offered at Flintridge Sacred Heart.

For the 2021-22 academic year, our frst three Bridge Scholars began their educational journey at Flintridge Sacred Heart. All three are bright, promising students who will

contribute to and beneft from the school community. We look forward to extending this opportunity to new students each year. If a student demonstrates the ability to succeed at Flintridge Sacred Heart, and shares our commitment to the pursuit of faith, integrity and truth, it is our goal to lower the barrier to entry by providing need-based scholarship awards.

To learn more about our Bridge Scholars, or to make a contribution to this program, please contact Katie McGorman at kmcgorman@fsha.org or (626) 685-8550.

MOTHER DOLOROSA SOCIETY

Mother Dolorosa was one of the three founding Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose who started Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy in 1931. Her leadership helped the school grow in ways no one could have imagined when she and her fellow Sisters traveled up the Hill with “a statue of the Blessed Virgin, a $5 bill and their faith.” We are honored to name our planned giving society after her.

The Mother Dolorosa Society celebrates the alumnae, parents, grandparents and friends who have remembered Flintridge Sacred Heart in their estate plans. Like Mother Dolorosa, the society members have made a lasting contribution to the mission of the school and to generations of young women.

Membership is permanent and continues on a yearly basis as long as the gift remains in effect. Society members are recognized in Flintridge Sacred Heart’s Annual Report on Philanthropy and are invited to events periodically. The names of deceased members remain in perpetuity among those listed.
