justin-siena A Catholic High School in the Lasallian Tradition Justin-Siena is a Catholic high school in the Lasallian tradition called to provide educational excellence in a loving, Christ-centered community that prepares students to serve and to lead in an ever-changing world.
ABOUT THE SCHOOL SEAL In addition to identifying our physical location and the year of our founding–in 1966, our seal contains the history of our school. The JustinSiena seal embodies the icons of the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael (who co-sponsored the school through the 2005-06 academic year) and the De La Salle Christian Brothers. The original Dominican black and white cross, Fleury, indicates a spiritual ideal in spreading the Gospel of Christ by preaching and teaching. The five-pointed star signifies the sign of faith, which guides all Christian Brothers and Lasallian partners in their vocation of Christian education. Finally, “Sempre Avanti” heralds the legacy of the Brothers, and more specifically, Justin High School. Italian for, “always forward,” these words appeared on the original school seal of Justin High School representing a commitment to looking forward and never being complacent while exhibiting a passion for preparing the students entrusted to their care for the future.

Last summer, the entire Justin-Siena community embarked on a new summer reading initiative, One School, One Book, a literacy-based activity to further build and develop relationships and common ground. All faculty/staff and students read the same book and parents, alumni, and coaches were invited to read the book as well. The unforgetable book chosen was Unbroken–the story of the life of Louie Zamperini.

About the Cover
The One School, One Book project had the entire Justin-Siena community reading Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken last summer. Mr. Louie Zamperini, on whose life story the book was based, visited Justin-Siena on October 1, and the crowd gathered in a packed Clark Gym was captivated by his story. Pictured on the cover with Mr. Zamperini are (clockwise from l–r): Isabella Richardson ’14, Kendall Howell ’14, Henry Dixon ’14, and Samuel Oberting ’14. For the story and photos see page 22.

parent, implementation of such a program was expedited, and Introduction to Engineering and Design, a first-year engineering course, was added to the course catalog for the 2012–13 academic year. PLTW trains teachers nationwide for every class they teach in the program, as the curriculum is updated and evolves every single year, keeping up with current engineering developments and practices, and always seeking more effective assignments, projects, and teaching strategies. In order to prepare for teaching the Introduction to Engineering and Design class, this past summer, I attended an in-depth, two-week training seminar in Colorado. We were able to immerse ourselves in not only what the material would entail, but how it would be presented to our students and how we might best present the class ourselves once the school year started. I was thrilled to find that the engineering and design course takes an extremely engaging, handson approach to material that high school students typically do not have the chance to experience. There are tests in the class and material to be learned and studied, but there are

The grandson of Italian winemakers, Kelly (pictured above, left) inherited his family’s passion for wine and winemaking. It was this passion that inspired Speratus Winery. A successful entrepreneur and businessman, Kelly launched Speratus Winery as a philanthropic project to benefit Lasallian education. Speratus donates 100% of their profits to support tuition assistance for low income young men and women so that they may have access to a Lasallian education, like Justin-Siena High School. He is a Partner of Alpha Omega Winery, a member of the De La Salle High School President’s Advisory Board, and is a past member of the Saint Mary’s College Board of Regents, also Lasallian schools.

Jean’s winemaking talents are evidenced by his scores of 94 and above in many well-known wine industry publications. Jean’s passion, knowledge, scientific training, and innate ability put him in a unique position to take the best grapes from around the world and transform them into wines worthy of world class standing.

Her Passion Pays Off Taylor Cabalse ’10 first discovered her passion for writing during her freshman and sophomore years at Justin-Siena, in Mr. Douglass’s and Mr. Tres’s classes. This passion flourished during her junior and senior years with Mrs. Laura Kelley-Weakley and although she enjoys writing, her long-term goal is to complete her double major in English and psychology at the University of San Diego, and pursue a career in editing. Taylor did not start writing for the University of San Diego school newspaper until her sophomore year. During the summer between her freshmen and sophomore year she emailed the Editor in Chief inquiring about open positions on the staff. Because of her experience and knowledge with computers she was hired as Web Editor. Over Christmas break, the then Editor in Chief contacted her to say he was impressed with her work ethics and wanted to train her as his successor. Starting spring semester she began shadowing the editor and, even though she was chosen as the successor, she was required to go through the interview process which included an application, an essay, and three interviews. Even with the challenge of hiring a completely new staff of fifteen for the newspaper, Taylor is up for the challenge saying, “I truly am excited for everything I can teach the new staff and everything I can learn from having this position. With this position I am not only getting a sense of what my future life will be like after graduation, but I am getting a huge leadership opportunity and I believe I will benefit a lot from this position these next two years.” Taylor is the daughter of JV football coach, Gerald Cabalse and sister of Ian Cabalse ’07, who is part of the IT staff at Justin-Siena.

LOUIE ZAMPERINI OLYMPIAN w WORLD WAR II PRISONER OF WAR w TRUE AMERICAN HERO
Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption, Laura Hillenbrand’s book about Louie Zamperini, could easily have been entitled ‘Endurance.’ The Justin-Siena community is now well aware of how Mr. Zamperini endured the challenges he set for himself, and how he endured the challenges thrown at him in ways few if any of us can imagine. Those challenges include overcoming contracting pneumonia as a young boy; finding the drive to compete at the highest levels during a brilliant career as a distance runner; foregoing near certain athletic glory when global conflict brought his career to an untimely end; training for, flying, and surviving deadly combat missions as a B-24 bombardier in the Pacific Theater during World War II; refusing to succumb to everything
from shark attacks, to strafing, to despair during a harrowing 47-day ordeal on the open sea; enduring unimaginably cruel treatment at the hands of his Japanese captors for more than three years; and, after surviving all of the above, overcoming intense post-war battles with depression and alcoholism by giving himself over to his faith. That’s a remarkable list. Indeed, managing to come through any one of those experiences would be something to point to as a fine achievement. To have survived all of that, and to spend more than a half-century inspiring others to overcome the obstacles in their lives, is far more than we could ever expect from even the extraordinary among us. To call Mr. Zamperini’s life extraordinary may be an understatement. —MR. JON DYER, INSTRUCTOR IN SOCIAL STUDIES

ONE SCHOOL, ONE BOOK; COUNTLESS LESSONS
L
ast summer, the entire Justin-Siena community embarked on a the new summer reading initiative,
One School, One Book, a literacy-based activity to further build and develop relationships and common ground. All faculty, staff, and students read the same book and parents, alumni, and coaches were invited to read the book as well. What transpired was an incredible opportunity to engage in thoughtful discussion and reflect with students on what it truly means to be brave and have faith in the presence of God. We could not have kicked off this program with a more galvanizing book choice, and the community-building objectives succeeded far beyond our campus borders—to dinner tables, retreats, playing fields, and even in the choice of the fall theatre production of I Never Saw Another Butterfly. At the age of 95, Louie Zamperini graciously agreed to bring his unique story of selfless commitment, courage, faith, and endurance to Justin-Siena to share the gift of his life with us at a student assembly, which included four hundred parents and community friends, and twenty-three special guest veterans from the Yountville Veterans Home. Louie was accompanied by his son, Luke Zamperini, and arrived in his favorite USC baseball cap, running shoes, and Olympic jacket. He entered the Clark Gym to a standing ovation to the theme score from Rudy while waving his hat to the crowd. After taking the stage where he was joined by President Robert Jordan and Principal Noel Hesser, he acknowledged the other veterans in the room for their service and commitment. He went on to talk about his experience during World War II and beyond. He was grateful for the invitation to speak to the students and he said that sharing his story with young people and affecting positive change in their lives is what motivates him today. Louie’s resilience was evident when he spoke about his experiences and enthusiastically responded to questions posed by students. When asked by one student if he was a hero, he humbly said, “I’m no hero. I am a survivalist.” His sense of humor resonated with the crowd as much of his musings brought a chuckle or even applause.

Students asked Louie . . . AUSTIN CONNOLLY ’13 “What was one of your favorite mischievous acts to commit in the prison camps to get back at the guards?”
Louie chuckled at this response and went on to share the story of using a bamboo shoot and his pant leg, tied off at the ankle, to smuggle rice from the factory where he and fellow prisoners were enslaved and then emptying it out in a secret spot to be shared later. He commented on the fact that the prisoners took these acts as little victories which played a great part in their self-preservation. Austin asked this question because reading about Louie’s mischief was his favorite part of the book. It made an impression with Austin because it showed how important it is to keep morale high when there is much despair.
LAURIE CRUZ ’13 “Ms. Hillenbrand said in Unbroken that you are constantly striving for new things to learn—even skateboarding in your eighties. What new things are you learning today, and where do you find your motivation?”
Louie talked about finding his motivation in talking to young people. He was very much at ease in the Clark Gym talking to teenagers. He hopes that his story of forgiveness inspires young people. Laurie remarked, “Louie is an amazing example of resilience in the face of extreme resistance. I am amazed at how, at the age of 95, Mr. Zamperini remains so sharp and steadfast in his calling.

Mr. James Heim
Dear Justin-Siena Community, As a member of the Justin-Siena Board of Trustees since 2009, I am honored to step into the role of Chair as Charlotte Addington’s term comes to an end. I want to thank Charlotte for her leadership these past four years and for her unwavering commitment to supporting the forward movement of Justin-Siena. It’s an exciting time at our school. The administration completed an ambitious strategic planning process this past year which will guide the direction of the school for the next five years. The plan addresses changes and enhancements to many important aspects of school life – academics, athletics, co-curricular programs, faculty professional development, transportation, and facilities. The Board of Trustees fully endorses this plan which incorporates the master plan vision as well. In our leadership role as stewards of the long-term fiscal health of the school, the trustees look forward to providing guidance and support for the successful implementation of the administration’s priorities over the coming years. It is a pleasure to welcome three new members to the Board: Tom Durante ’93, Mel Preimesberger, and Dennis Pedisich who are highlighted here. Their valuable expertise and perspectives about Justin-Siena and education in general will support the good work of the administration, faculty, and staff who are committed to assuring an educational environment that is Accessible, Relevant, and Sustainable for all students entrusted to their care.
Board Members Welcome to our newest
Mel Denise Preimesberger Mel chose to join the Board of Trustees at Justin-Siena because “having served for a number of years in the field of higher education and recognizing its value, I am a proponent of ensuring this option for as many students as possible. I feel the opportunity to participate on the Board of Justin-Siena will allow me to follow my passion of promoting and supporting education while reaching a broad and diverse audience in the Napa Community.” occupation: Retired college administrator, University of Southern California volunteer involvement: Napa Valley Youth Center, Marlborough School Alumni Council, California African American Museum of Art, the USC Black Alumni Association, Terra Nova Homeowners Association, and the St. John the Baptist Catholic Church Youth Ministry program
Dennis Pedisich Dennis and his wife Colleen are Justin-Siena alumni parents of Nicholas ’01 and Brett ’04. Dennis served as a member of the Justin-Siena Foundation Board for eight years before joining the Board of Trustees this year. Dennis looks forward to his new role as a member of the Board, stating “I believe that the school provides a superior education in the Lasallian tradi-
tion. Over the years the school has faced many economic challenges and I am happy to be a part of helping ensure the school is here for generations to come.” occupation: Regional President of Rabobank in Napa volunteer involvement: Past President of the Napa Valley College Foundation Board, board member for the Children’s Health Initiative, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Kiwanis board
Tom Durante ’93 As a native of Napa, graduate of St. Apollinaris grade school and Justin-Siena High School, joining the Board is a natural next step in his involvement with the school. “I have enjoyed my years of involvement at Justin-Siena, particularly in the areas of alumni relations, advancement, and theatre. I see this as my next opportunity to continue to help Justin-Siena thrive for the next generation of Braves.” occupation: Founder and President of The Lux Productions, a theatrical and event production company in Northern California volunteer involvement: Past President of the Justin-Siena Alumni Council, past board member of the International Special Events Society

Support us without affecting your budget. Q. Given the uncertain economic conditions, I am hesitant to part with cash or assets. Is there a way I can still offer financial support to Justin-Siena? A. Yes, you can make charitable contributions that will have zero current impact on your cash reserves. Here are three simple options: 1. Retirement Plans. When you name JustinSiena High School Foundation as the beneficiary of your retirement plan assets (pension plan, IRA, 401(k), etc.), you don’t part with a single penny today and you protect your estate from taxes later. If you were to instead leave these assets to your family, up to 65 percent of their value could be eroded by taxes. 2. Life Insurance Policies. You have two worry-free options to leverage life insurance policies. First, you can name Justin-Siena High School Foundation as the recipient of the policy’s death benefit. Or you could sign over ownership of the policy to us now. This latter option allows you to receive an income tax deduction equal to the policy’s fair market value or the total premium paid, whichever is lower. 3. Bequests through your will or trust. Including a gift to Justin-Siena High School Foundation in your will or living trust allows you to feel good about your contribution now and transfer money later, after your lifetime. Each of these gift options are gifts that keep on giving beyond your lifetime. You will support the important work of Justin-Siena for future generations while enjoying peace of mind about your financial stability today. Contact the Justin-Siena Advancement Office at 707.255.0950 ext. 681 for our official bequest language.

The name of the recipient of an Honor–Memorial gift will be placed in the Justin-Siena Book of Remembrance and remembered in prayers of the Justin-Siena community at the regular Masses throughout the school year. A letter is sent to the honoree or the family of the deceased informing them of your gift. The amount of your gift is confidential and supports the Justin-Siena annual tuition assistance program. For additional donation envelopes or information on how to create a permanent named fund, contact the Office of Advancement at 707.255.0950 ext. 681.
