touchstones: president’s message

“You changed my life.” Has anyone expressed such feelings to you? What an amazing gift, from both perspectives – the giver and receiver. We are blessed at Rockhurst High School to hear sincere expressions of gratitude from hundreds of students and parents every year about the benefits of a Catholic Jesuit college preparatory education – changing lives. They focus on our wonderful faculty, and our extraordinary donors, who make Rockhurst High School a vibrant center for sound learning, new discovery, and achievement. It is with great pleasure that we present our annual President’s Report to you. This is a telling illustration of our accomplishments together, both givers and receivers. With genuine Ignatian spirit, we build on the theme of offering “Touchstones” about our proud institutional past and hopeful future. Everything we do at The Rock is geared to change the lives, for the good, of the young men entrusted to our care for the greater glory and honor of God.

Highlights of the plan, which attempts to balance the importance of forming the “whole person” within the Ignatian ideals, include:

The Master Site Plan represents a fresh phase of institutional development following the completion of the school’s Millennium Master Plan objectives, which was adopted by the Board in 1996. The final component of that strategic initiative was completed with a series of campus enhancements, which were finished over 18-years time, when the Dining Commons was constructed in 2013.

• Construction of an Academic Learning Commons with flexible instructional environments for collaborative and technology-rich space. These areas will enable students and teachers to work together to explore new ideas, discuss issues, and solve problems. Such facilities in academic buildings push new learning models at the nation’s top schools.

2014 PRESIDENTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S REPORT

touchstones

why are Jesuit schools so important to the world? The answer to this question has been written over and over again, in countless books and periodicals – Jesuit schools meet a need.

In our rapidly changing world, families have always wanted to give their children the best opportunities possible to succeed in life. They understand that young people need to have skill sets to manage a fast-paced, quick-thinking world that will face them. Families also respect the fundamental principles of the Graduate at Graduation profile that guides Jesuit schools to form young men and women who are open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving, and committed to doing justice.

Dating back to when the first schools were established by the Society of Jesus hundreds of years ago, there were two distinct educational platforms with clear reasoning: 1] strict preparation for a profession, perhaps the law, clergy, or teaching by studying the sciences, mathematics, logic, philosophy, and theology; 2] humanistic schooling, which was curriculum based on Greek and Latin poetry, drama, oratory, and history, with the intent to shape thoughtful, caring individuals and future leaders . The Jesuits skillfully combined these two ideals, while stressing character and spiritual formation as part of their mission statements.

“a pathway to God.” St. Ignatius’ discovery came from reflection upon his own life experiences. His spirit and methodology motivates the generations of Jesuits and lay people who came after him, who hoped, and continue to aspire, to inspire students in the same Ignatian vision.

Catholic Jesuit college preparatory apostolates like Rockhurst High School have devoted personnel, both religious and the laity, who have standards of excellence that they aspire for in themselves and work to deliberately develop as “touchstones” in their students:

2] develop in our students a concern, not for personal gain, but for the mission of Jesus Christ;

• • • • • • • • •

Self-knowledge and discipline; Consideration and reflection on life experiences; Faith and trust in God; Admiration for understanding, reason, discovering truth, and intellect; Discernment for what is right; Devotion to using God’s gifts to care for other people; Common sense problem solving; Bold determination; and, Finding God in all things.

These qualities came from a unique spirituality that the early Jesuits learned from our founder, St. Ignatius of Loyola. Jesuits define spirituality as

2014 PRESIDENT’S REPORT

The Rockhurst High School community strives to achieve a threefold purpose guided by the Ignatian vision, to: 1] provide an environment that assists young men in understanding themselves, Christ, and the world around them;

3] develop educated Christian leaders and graduate young men who demonstrate authentic Christian living in our contemporary society. Global events continue to dramatically change the context of Jesuit educational ministries. New pressure points seem to emerge on a daily basis, where peoples, religions, and cultures intermingle, but not always happily. Jesuit schools, like Rockhurst High School, are the great equalizers. They promote Christ-like ideals – for justice, authentic communication, and an inclusive sense of unity for humanity. The optimistic view of how the world can be by Jesuits, and their Jesuit Partners in education, is an important counter-balance to a stark outlook that is all-too-often a common-place way of thinking in our struggling, often secular-leaning society.

major estate gift by alumnus honors mother Mr. Jack G. Brannan ’52, loved his mother. She was the person who made his Rockhurst High School education possible. In Mr. Brannan’s eyes, Mrs. Alma G. Brannan could make anything possible. Mr. Brannan passed away on May 3, 2014. A long-time member of the Rockhurst High School Ignatian Heritage Society, the bulk of his estate, which is valued at over $1 million, will be devoted to the endowment fund which bears his mother’s name at the school, as well as key operational projects to enhance the curricular and co-curricular experiences of students. Mr. Brannan was 78 years old. “Jack was a very special man,” said Rev. Terrence A. Baum, SJ, President of Rockhurst High School. “His love for his mother, and Rockhurst High School, was extraordinary. These types of Ultimate Gifts are rare. Jack always said his hope was the donations he made in memory of his mother would inspire students who display solid academic achievement and dedication to take full advantage of the lessons they have learned at The Rock. We will honor Jack and his mother by making sure these funds are a beautiful tribute to their devotion to Catholic Jesuit education.” Fr. Baum made regular visits to Mr. Brannan’s bedside during the last few weeks of his life. Mrs. Brannan was a faithful Jesuit Partner for Rockhurst High School. She managed the school’s financial record-keeping when the school moved to the Greenlease Memorial campus in 1962. She died on March 11, 1990, at the age of 84 years old. The Brannan Scholarship Fund was established in 1981 by Mr. Brannan as a tribute to Mrs. Brannan. He had steadily been building the fund with annual gifts toward the principal balance until the time of his death. Many young men have

received tuition assistance grants over the past three decades because of his generosity. This year alone 40% of the Rockhurst High School student body receives some sort of financial aid. Mr. Brannan credited his mother with the work ethic he learned to become a renowned journalist. Mr. Brannan’s career in journalism spanned four decades from the 1950s through the 1980s and ranged across the United States and Latin America. When he was elected to the Journalism Hall of Fame in 1999, he was cited for having “achieved excellence in nearly all facets of journalism, from foreign to domestic and his reputation as `one helluva newsman’ continues.” For almost 20 years, Mr. Brannan was a reporter, sports writer, foreign correspondent, editor and management executive with the United Press International news agency. Throughout his career, he served UPI in Kansas City, Los Angeles, New York, Oklahoma City, Washington, DC, as well as Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Caracas (Venezuela). Some of the many highlights of Mr. Brannan’s career include being the UPI White House and State Department correspondent, specializing in foreign policy during the first year of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration. He also was the New York Stock Exchange manager of its news bureau and media communications department. Mr. Brannan was named as “Distinguished Alumnus” of Missouri Southern State University in 1980. The Ignatian Heritage Society includes benefactors who have provided for Rockhurst High School in a will, bequest, or estate gift. Estate gifts, such as Mr. Brannan’s, are imperative for keeping Rockhurst High School’s mission strong and affordable for families.

The First Principle and Foundation (St. Ignatius of Loyola, as paraphrased by Rev. David L. Fleming, SJ)

St. Ignatius begins his Spiritual Exercises with The First Principle and Foundation. While not typically thought of as a prayer, it still contains much that is worth reflecting on. The Goal of our life is to live with God forever. God, who loves us, gave us life. Our own response of love allows Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life to flow into us without limit. All the things in this world are gifts from God, presented to us so that we can know God more easily and make a return of love more readily. As a result, we appreciate and use all these gifts of God insofar as they help us to develop as loving persons. But if any of these gifts become the center of our lives, they displace God and so hinder our growth toward our goal. In everyday life, then, we must hold ourselves in balance before all of these created gifts insofar as we have a choice and are not bound by some obligation. We should not fix our desires on health or sickness, wealth or poverty, success or failure, a long life or a short one. For everything has the potential of calling forth in us a deeper response to our life in God. Our only desire and our one choice should be this: I want and I choose what better leads to Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deepening his life in me. 31

Jesuit institutions like Rockhurst High School outline a “Profile of the Graduate at Graduation,” which involves every aspect of the formation experience - religious, social, psychological, and academic. This blueprint represents the essential characteristics of our ideal graduate and what is needed to be “men for others.” The five key elements for students by graduation include: OPEN TO GROWTH Emotionally, intellectually, physically, socially, religiously to a level that reflects some intentional responsibility for one’s own growth. INTELLECTUALLY COMPETENT Exhibits a mastery of academic requirements for advanced forms of education. RELIGIOUS Has basic knowledge of the major doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church, having examined his own religious feelings and beliefs with a view to choosing a

fundamental orientation toward God and establishing a relationship with a religious tradition and/or community. LOVING On the way to establishing his own identity on the threshold of being able to move beyond self–interest or self–centeredness in relationships. COMMITTED TO DOING JUSTICE Achieves considerable knowledge of the many needs of local and wider communities in preparation for the day when he becomes a leader in such places.

Rockhurst High School students are blessed with many talents and opportunities. These are gifts from God, and each student is asked to share them through service throughout their lives. This group of young men, accompanied by faculty members, including Mr. Gregory M. Harkness ‘81, Principal, and Mr. David G. Alvey, Assistant Principal of Faculty Formation, traveled to Tijuana, Mexico, as part of the “Total Ignatian Experience,” to re-build less fortunate communities in the area. The Harvest Food Drive, Senior Service Projects, and Mission Week activities, are only a fraction of the community service efforts in Kansas City that symbolizes a school-wide spirit of giving as “men and women for others.”

Every Rockhurst High School student is both a potential creator and patron of the performing arts. Part of the Ignatian tradition is an appreciation of the unique gifts, insights, and humanity of every person. Studying dramatic arts, choral performance, and instrumental music, gives a wonderful perspective about other people and cultures. The fall production of “The Crucible” performed in the Rose Theatre played to capacity crowds.
