Building A Better World TO BUILD A BETTER WORLD, WE MUST REACH OUTSIDE OURSELVES, OUTSIDE OF WHAT IS FAMILIAR AND COMFORTABLE. WE MUST BE CHALLENGED TO SCALE NEW HEIGHTS AND OVERCOME NEW OBSTACLES, NOT FOR OUR OWN SAKE, BUT FOR OTHERS.

I

n this, the 70th year of our inauguration, we have profiled those who have taken steps to improve the lives of others and have embodied the vision

of Sr. Antonine Signorelli, ASCJ, the founding principal of Sacred Heart. Among the highlights in this issue are a student who traveled to the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere primarily to teach that nation’s people that they are loved; an alumna who was knighted in honor of her tireless devotion to teaching world languages; alumnae who have dedicated themselves to educating others; and our Social Studies Department which uses the past to instill the knowledge and desire necessary to enact positive change. We hope that the examples of our students, faculty, alumnae, and friends inspire you to build a better world.

FROM THE PRESIDENT


What a privilege it is to be here, to watch our students blossom into independent, self-confident, caring women, eager to take their place in the world. Sr. Sheila O’Neill, ASCJ, Ph.D., ’71

Dear Friends, Each day the halls of Sacred Heart Academy are alive with the happy voices of 500 bright and beautiful young ladies, eager to grow into the women God created them to be. Whether in the classroom, on the field, or on the stage, they are a true testament to all that is good in the world. Their passion for helping others, for sharing their talents, and for continually doing their best reminds me that the future is in good hands, and like the women highlighted in this issue, they too will help build a better world. Our new principal, Sr. Kathleen Mary Coonan, ASCJ, ’76, has settled in nicely. She has spent countless hours visiting classes and attending games, events, and club meetings, to experience firsthand all the exciting things that are happening on our campus. She is kind and caring and takes a special interest in each student. Since she was previously an assistant principal here, Sr. Kathleen Mary’s transition has been seamless. We are so happy to have her back, sharing her unique gifts and talents. I think you will enjoy reading about our alumnae who are building a better world — Stephanie White ’94, City of New Haven Teacher of the Year, Brigid Quinn ’07 and Mollie Quinn ’05, helping to break the cycle of poverty through education in New York City, and Sr. Mary Ellen Burns, ASCJ, ’74, working with the immigrant population in New Haven. We also celebrate our Excelsior Woman, Lorraine Paszkeicz D’Ambruoso ’60, knighted twice by the French government for the promotion of the French language in the United States, and Judith Suffrard ’17 for her service to the people of Haiti. Each day these women live out our Core Values of compassion and social justice and, through sharing the love of the Sacred Heart they help to make the world a better place. As we celebrate our 70th anniversary, I pray that Sr. Antonine is smiling down on us as we strive each day to live out her legacy of Excelsior — ever higher, in every aspect of our lives at Sacred Heart Academy. What a privilege it is to be here, to watch our students blossom into independent, selfconfident, caring women, eager to take their place in the world. I so enjoy continually hearing stories of generations of women who have passed through our doors, and all the ways they live out the foundation they received here. They witness to the fulfillment of the Gospel challenge, “To whom much is given, much is expected.” All that we do here at the Academy is directly related to all that you do for us. Your prayers and your sharing of time, talent, and treasure help us accomplish great things that otherwise would not be possible. On behalf of the thousands of wonderful young women whom we have had the privilege of educating, I thank you. Know that as we celebrate year 70 and move into year 71 and beyond, you are helping to build a better world. Gratefully in the Heart of Christ,

Sr. Sheila O’Neill, ASCJ, Ph.D., ’71 President

S

tudents, parents, faculty, and alumnae gathered in August in the Alumnae Rose Garden to welcome our new principal, Sr. Kathleen Mary Coonan, ASCJ, ’76.

A native of Connecticut and a graduate of Sacred Heart, Sr. Kathleen Mary entered the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus following her high school graduation and professed her final vows in 1984. Sister holds a Bachelor of Science in Education from Duquesne University and a Master of Arts in Administration and Supervision from Manhattan College. She begins her ministry as principal of Sacred Heart Academy with 36 years of experience both as teacher and administrator. Sr. Kathleen Mary has taught on the elementary and secondary levels in Connecticut, Missouri, and Pennsylvania, served as principal of St. Raphael School in Bridgeport, and as assistant principal at Sacred Heart Academy from 2002-2006. For the last ten years she was principal of our sister school, Cor Jesu Academy, where she was the first principal to serve in the president/principal leadership model, a model also

used here. Throughout her tenure at Cor Jesu, Sister strengthened the solid tradition of academic excellence and faith formation, hallmarks of a Cor Jesu and Sacred Heart education. “I am very happy and excited to be back at Sacred Heart Academy, a strong community of learners who continually use the gifts that God has given them to grow to their full potential and to reach out in service to others. Since my return, I have experienced the enthusiasm and joy of faculty, students, and parents and I am enjoying being a part of this community. As we work together this year I pray that we may be the compassionate presence of God for each other and support and encourage one another as we 'embrace the gifts that God has given us to strive ever higher.’ ” “Sr. Kathleen Mary leads with a caring and kind heart and seeks to inspire students to achieve their full potential. We warmly welcome her back to Sacred Heart Academy,” offered President Sr. Sheila O’Neill, ASCJ, Ph.D., ’71 at the welcoming reception.

“W

ho are we, we Americans? How did we get where we are? What is our story and what can it teach us? Our story is our history, and if ever we should be taking steps to see that we have the best prepared, most aware citizens ever, that time is now.” So said the famed historian, David McCullough, in a recent plea to intensify the study of history in American schools. With the recent emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) across the country, the importance of some traditional disciplines, including history, have been challenged. However, Sacred Heart Academy prizes its Social Studies Department,

The Social Studies Department has taken several steps over the past few years to implement an even more rigorous and relevant curriculum. recognizing that it is our duty to produce not just good students but responsible citizens. In this spirit, the Social Studies Department has taken several steps over the past few years to implement an even more rigorous and

relevant curriculum. Department members are excited about the introduction of new classes. This year, the freshmen will begin with Ancient Civilizations spanning ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome all the way to the Middle Ages in order to provide students with an understanding of the basis of Western civilization. Building on this new foundation, the following year the department will offer a new Advanced Placement option for sophomores — AP European History. It will be the first AP course offered to sophomores at Sacred Heart to provide the same opportunities for students who excel in the humanities as for those who excel in math and science. New elective courses in

law and the history of art will also be offered. The law class will include an introduction to civil and criminal law and a mock trial component to engage students in the study of the judicial system. The art history course will provide a survey of the evolution of art from classical times to the 20th century by studying renowned art and artists.    “We hope that these courses will provide opportunities for students to improve the critical thinking skills offered in a liberal arts education, preparing them for careers in any field,” says Department Chair Susan Allen. “It is vital to expose students to the critical analysis that takes place in a social studies classroom,” adds department member Rebecca Hyland Lendroth ’01.  “It’s more than memorizing history; it’s about thinking through historical events and deeply questioning how and why our world exists as it does today. This foundation will stay with our Excelsior women as they navigate college and beyond." In addition to these new courses, the department also offers Psychology at the college prep and AP level, taught by Rebecca, and Middle Eastern Studies and Asian Studies, taught by Eileen Halloran ’04. In an effort to further immerse his students in history as a living subject, department

veteran Rich Marino will accompany his AP US Government classes to Washington, D.C. for four days in April. “One of the goals is to give students firsthand information on the operation of the three branches of government. We will visit both the House and Senate and hopefully be invited down on the floor. Then we will tour and sit inside the Supreme Court and hear one of the court clerks explain how the justices listen to arguments and write opinions, and finally we will visit the White House.” The trip will also give students the opportunity to see important national and cultural icons. “We will tour the Martin Luther King, Jr. Monument, the Vietnam and World War II Memorials, the Smithsonian museums, and the Changing of the Guard and the Eternal Flame at Arlington National Cemetery,” says Rich. The trip will conclude on Sunday with Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception at Catholic University and a tour of the Holocaust Memorial. “It is important that the students experience the emotional impact of this illustration of man’s inhumanity to man.” The department’s impact on the student body is best illustrated by the testimony of the students themselves. Julia Davis ’17 was encouraged by Tara Cantore, who teaches AP US History, to apply for a scholarship to attend the 2016 Civil War Institute Summer Conference at Gettysburg

College. Julia received one of ten scholarships to attend in June. The conference used historical themes to address modern controversies, such as the relationship between southern heritage, the Confederate flag, and the first amendment, and the ethics of various battle tactics that were pioneered during the Civil War. The conference helped Julia understand that history is always relevant, no matter how far in the past the events occurred, something which her teachers have worked to instill in her. Katie Mackey ’17 has also been heavily influenced by the Social Studies Department and owes her love of history to its teachers. “Before coming to Sacred Heart, I disliked history,” she recalls. “Between poor teachers and a general lack of interest, history was my absolute least favorite subject. But all of that changed during sophomore year in my Honors Western Civilization class. It brought history to life. Since then I have realized the impact history has on the present.” Katie understands what is so vital about our Social Studies Department, and as she recounts its impact on her life it is almost as if she is answering David McCullough’s call. “The Social Studies Department has taught me that history is about more than facts — it is a guide. Now each time I go to class I am eager to learn and also to connect what I learn to my daily life.”

— Our Alumnae — PROVIDING THE TOOLS TO BUILD A BETTER WORLD Today most people look at the world and think it needs to be repaired or improved in some way. The alumnae featured here share similar concerns but take it one step further. They strive every day to manifest the changes they wish to see in their respective careers. They work tirelessly with children from low-income homes, families trying to break the cycle of poverty, and immigrants struggling within a strained legal system. These alumnae aren’t just giving back to these vulnerable populations — they are empowering them to build a better world for future generations.

raduating from Sacred Heart only two years apart, sisters Mollie Quinn ’05 and Brigid Quinn ’07 shared in many of the same community service experiences. Whether they were collecting stockings at Christmas, visiting the Sisters at the Manor, serving dinner at Ronald McDonald House, or fundraising for Tsunami victims, service was natural and organic to their Sacred Heart experience. “Giving back was at the heart of my SHA education and whether required or not, everyone felt compelled to participate in meaningful community service,” says Mollie. Brigid agrees, “There was a strong service community at Sacred Heart, but there were always so many opportunities that it never felt like an obligation.” After graduating, Mollie and Brigid attended Providence College, where they remained committed to service, and then enrolled in the Cristo Rey New York High School full-time residential volunteer program in East Harlem.

“Giving back was at the heart of my SHA education and whether required or not, everyone felt compelled to participate in meaningful community service.” Mollie Quinn ’05

In support of the school’s goal of empowering students to transform the world, Mollie and Brigid enrolled in the school’s two-year volunteer program, serving the Cristo Rey community by teaching, moderating extra-curricular activities, coaching, and training students for the work study program. Volunteers in the residential program receive a small monthly stipend, an AmeriCorps Education Award, and other benefits like loan forbearance. After completing the volunteer program, Mollie and Brigid both elected to continue their work with Cristo Rey, accepting full-time positions at the school. “I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend Sacred Heart and experience the benefits of a Catholic education. Not everyone has that opportunity,” says Brigid, director of development at Cristo Rey. “Working at Cristo Rey in the development office helps ensure that students who would not otherwise have the opportunity to receive a private Catholic education can do so.”

Because Cristo Rey serves a low-income population, Brigid and Mollie are working with students coming from some of the poorest neighborhoods in New York City and are often first-generation children of immigrants. Without a supportive network like the one at Cristo Rey, many of these students would not have the resources to finish high school, much less attend college. “Many of my students are earning diplomas not only for themselves, but for their parents,” says Mollie, Cristo Rey’s director of college counseling. “They are breaking the tremendous cycle of poverty that exists in their neighborhoods and fulfilling the dreams of their parents, many of whom made incredible sacrifices to come to the United States.” In their respective roles, Mollie and Brigid advocate for the students at Cristo Rey, ensuring that they have the skills to succeed in high school, college, and future careers. The odds are stacked against many of these students, but because the faculty and staff are so committed, many of them go on to attend some of the best colleges and universities in the country. This is a strong example of how having access to information breaks down many of the barriers and inequalities that exist in higher education.

STEPHANIE WHITE ’94, Discovery Lab Teacher at Quinnipiac STEM Magnet School

I

t’s no secret that some of the best teachers possess an infectious love of learning. That’s certainly true for Stephanie White ’94, Discovery Lab teacher at Quinnipiac STEM Magnet School in New Haven, who was recognized as the 2015-2016 Teacher of the Year for New Haven Public Schools. “Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to be a teacher. I was trying to teach my younger brother how to read and do math when I was eight,” recalls Stephanie. “It was such an amazing feeling to be named New Haven’s Teacher of the Year. All my hard work throughout my career as a teacher was recognized.”

Sisters Mollie ’05 (left) and Brigid Quinn ’07 on the Cristo Rey campus in East Harlem. “There is so much racial, social, and economic inequality on college campuses, particularly the more selective institutions,” says Mollie. “By giving my students information about the college application process and encouraging them to apply to places like Brown and Georgetown, we are helping transform the landscape of higher education. Our students bring their own unique cultural perspectives and give everyone a more meaningful college experience reflecting the world we live in.” Considering their parallel careers, it’s no surprise that Mollie and Brigid have remained close in both their professional and personal lives. “As a student at Sacred Heart, I never pictured myself working alongside Mollie. It just worked out that way,” says Brigid. “It adds a unique aspect to the workplace. We don’t work together on a daily basis, but if I want to bounce an idea off her, she’s right upstairs.” Mollie and Brigid also supported Cristo Rey and one another in 2015, when they ran the NYC Marathon. Together, they raised over $6,000 for the school and they both acknowledged that having the Cristo Rey students on their minds while they ran was a huge motivating factor. The desire to work for the benefit of others is something they learned early from their

10

“Our mother taught us the importance of serving others...service wasn’t so much a requirement as it was just something she did. So we did it, too.” Brigid Quinn ’07 mother, Mary-Ann Haran, Esq., who serves on our Advisory Council and chairs the Mission Advancement Committee, is a founding board member of LifeHaven, and is an active member of the Catholic Charity League. “Throughout my life I’ve learned that giving back to your community is not only personally fulfilling, but part of one’s life purpose,” says Mary-Ann. “To be able to share that vision with my daughters has been enormously satisfying, and I know all the values I have tried to instill in them were joyfully reinforced by the Apostles during their experience at Sacred Heart.” “Our mother taught us the importance of serving others,” confirms Brigid. “Whether we were going with her to volunteer at LifeHaven or serve dinner at Columbus House, service wasn’t so much a requirement as it was just something she did. So we did it, too.”

Despite her early interest in education, Stephanie tried out a few other career tracks including business, accounting, and public relations. But even within those fields, Stephanie always gravitated toward staff training and community service programs. While working full-time at a public relations firm in Boston, she decided to complete her Master’s in Elementary Education at Lesley University in preparation for a transition to teaching. “I loved my job at the PR firm, but I didn’t feel that the work I was doing was helping the world become a better place,” says Stephanie. “Sacred Heart taught us the importance of service and giving back to the community. I think that’s one of the reasons I chose to become a teacher. My amazing experience at Sacred Heart led me to follow in the footsteps of the great instructors I had.” After teaching in Massachusetts for three years and then at Christopher Columbus Family Academy for 11 years, Stephanie took on the role of Discovery Lab teacher at Quinnipiac STEM in 2014. “My main job as a STEM teacher is to create 21st century learners, those who can collaborate, communicate, and work in a cooperative manner,” she says. “When students in my class work on an engineering problem, they never work alone. I never expect any one student to have all the answers. They need to see that it takes teamwork to solve a problem and teamwork to learn from your mistakes.”


Stephanie White ’94 with her class.

“Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to be a teacher... It was such an amazing feeling to be named New Haven’s Teacher of the Year.” Stephanie White ’94 Stephanie puts a tremendous amount of thought into what comprises a 21st century learner. She considers the strengths and weaknesses of her students when creating class teams, fosters a love of learning for less exciting material, and differentiates to accommodate the varying needs of her 297 students. Fortunately, they are as passionate about learning as she is. “We are a Title 1 School, so the students come in wanting to learn and work hard because school is the safest place for a lot of them,” notes Stephanie. “When they enter the Discovery Lab, they are excited to see what challenges face them as engineers and scientists. Students love working with their hands to create something or solve a problem, just like many professionals do in the real world.” In order to be an outstanding STEM teacher, Stephanie also has to effectively integrate technology into the Discovery Lab. Many people are intimidated by technology’s ever-evolving nature, but Stephanie sees technology as a tremendous aid to engage her students and encourage them to share her love of learning.

“My personal love for technology and staying on top of technology trends has greatly impacted the education of my students,” she says. “I use an app called ‘Nearpod’ to manage my students’ educational content, allowing me to personalize instruction for my higher level learners to enrich their experience and push them further.” Quinnipiac STEM teacher Patricia McHugh Harkins ’82 echoes the role that Stephanie’s own love of learning plays in her students’ successes. “Her love for teaching and for her students is contagious,” offers Tricia. “She inspires all of us here. She is constantly learning more so that she can provide her students with the best education possible, and is always willing to share what she learns with her colleagues. She is simply the best!” As she moves into her third year of teaching at Quinnipiac STEM, Stephanie has big plans to continue using technology to engage her 21st century learners. She recently began using an online fundraising site for public schools called DonorsChoose.org to acquire materials for her

classroom, everything from building supplies to circuitry kits to small, programmable robots that teach kids about coding. The only thing moving and growing faster than technology are Stephanie’s students; she works with kindergarteners through fifth graders, welcoming both new and returning students year after year. Former students often stop by to update her on their successes and ask for help with college applications. Given her widely recognized dedication as a teacher, there is no question that every student who leaves Stephanie’s classroom does so with the skills needed to help build a better world. “As kids grow, it’s great to see their young minds being shaped into amazing thinkers,” says Stephanie. “Sometimes you see their progress immediately, but some rewards happen down the road. Watching a student who has struggled finally put his work together and use technology to proudly show his peers is one of those lightbulb moments that makes a teacher’s heart melt.”

MARY ELLEN BURNS, ASCJ, ’74, Founder and Director of Apostle Immigrant Services

A

fter graduating from Yale Law School in 1989 and working in non-profit organizations in New York City for nearly 20 years, Sr. Mary Ellen Burns, ASCJ, ’74 returned home to the Provincialate in 2008 and formed Apostle Immigrant Services (AIS), a non-profit organization designed to aid local immigrants.

“We find Jesus in the margins — the margins of the Church, our society, and the peripheries of our own lives.” Sr. Mary Ellen Burns, ASCJ, ’74

“Starting AIS was both a response to the growing needs of our immigrant communities and a return to my roots,” says Sr. Mary Ellen. “I am privileged to be part of AIS. The Sisters first came to New Haven in 1906 to serve Italian immigrants, and AIS now stands just a short distance from where that all began.”

“Without our assistance, clients would either lose the opportunity to gain immigration benefits, go to an unauthorized ‘notario’ or other untrained person, or borrow thousands of dollars to pay private attorney fees,” says Sr. Mary Ellen. “In all of these scenarios, they are taking a risk. Some of our clients are in shelters or inpatient mental health facilities and without us, they simply would not get the help they need.” The services provided by AIS are invaluable, yet Sr. Mary Ellen confides that AIS receives far more requests for help than their limited capital can accommodate. Thankfully, AIS benefits from the vital assistance of several Sacred Heart volunteers, including students. The Academy Student

“Service is not only an integral part of the Christian life, it goes beyond simply giving from the top down,” Sister shares. “It’s a mutual exchange. Jesus teaches us that we encounter Him in those who are ‘the least.’ But ‘the least' means different things to different people. We find Jesus in the margins — the margins of the Church, our society, and the peripheries of our own lives.” For many in the immigrant community, being among ‘the least’ comes with a steep price. Though immigrants and refugees are no less human than legal citizens, they are often treated as such. But Sr. Mary Ellen stresses that they simply want the same things as everyone else — basic healthcare, food on the table, dignified work, a decent education, and a safe place to live and raise their children.

Operating with a small staff out of an office in New Haven, AIS provides much-needed services to immigrants searching for assistance with any of the following — applying for permanent residence, obtaining a US citizenship, reuniting with family members, renewing green cards, and receiving employment authorization. Sr. Mary Ellen and fellow Apostle, Sr. Doretta D’Albero, ASCJ, ’77, work together at AIS helping clients navigate the murky waters of immigration law. Sr. Doretta has been training in immigration law since AIS opened in 2008. She and Sr. Mary Ellen accompany clients to interviews with US Citizenship and Immigration Services in cases involving applications for naturalization and legal permanent residency. They serve with compassion and diplomacy, all for an extremely low fee.

ASCJ. The collaboration between AIS and Sacred Heart is one that resonates deeply with Sr. Mary Ellen.

“We can only do for our clients what the law allows,” says Sr. Mary Ellen. “We can’t help someone get a benefit when our broken immigration framework does not provide a benefit for them. It’s difficult to tell a client that there is nothing they can do to improve their status here, but we believe that telling them the truth is a work of mercy. Hopefully it helps them avoid being preyed upon by someone who will take their money based on false promises.”

Sr. Mary Ellen Burns, ASCJ, ’74 consults with clients at AIS, helping them navigate the murky waters of immigration law. Internship Program sends three rising seniors into the office each summer. In the past, AIS has also welcomed student volunteers as part of its Homework Assistance Program which provides homework help and skill development to children at St. Francis/St. Rose School. The program is entirely staffed by volunteers, including its director, Sr. Susan Emmerich,

Though the face of the immigrant population is as diverse as the wide-reaching countries they come from, Sr. Mary Ellen ultimately sees every client who comes into her office as an opportunity to follow in Jesus’ footsteps — to welcome the stranger and be a neighbor to the outsiders in our communities. She opens her heart and her office to those who need assistance, never running from the chance to find Jesus in the margins, despite the challenges that the work often presents. “I believe that all of us together, the AIS staff, volunteers, and clients, are working to strengthen families and ultimately our communities and society as a whole. I think we provide a little light of hope in the often dark public discourse on immigration as we help to build a better world,” says Sister.


— Celebrating 70 Years — 1946 - 2016

Right, ASCJ Provincial Superior Sr. Ritamary Schulz, ASCJ, ’59 — two-time principal of Sacred Heart, and Br. James Branigan, CSC — former president of Notre Dame.

S

eventy years ago, Sacred Heart Academy was founded by a young Sister on a mission. Sr. Antonine Signorelli, ASCJ established the Academy in an old mansion on New Haven’s Greene Street in 1946, after a tremendous amount of prayer, grace, and tenacity. Originally boasting just 17 students and a handful of Sisters on staff, much has changed in 70 years — the beautiful, sprawling campus on Benham Street, the student body which has grown to more than 500 students, a faculty and staff comprised of both Apostles and lay teachers, and various state and national recognitions of the high caliber of education provided.

Sacred Heart has planned a variety of events throughout the school year highlighting, in particular, the relationship we have with our brother school, Notre Dame High School of West Haven, also celebrating 70 years since its inception.

To commemorate how far we have come, Sacred Heart has planned a variety of events throughout the school year highlighting, in particular, the relationship we have with our brother school, Notre Dame High School of West Haven, also celebrating 70 years since its inception. The first of these celebratory events was a gathering in September honoring our first graduates, known collectively as the Greene Street Girls.

The reception highlighted them as pioneers and keepers of a vital component of the school’s legacy that is often forgotten — that these few women and their families were the first to have faith in Sr. Antonine’s vision and entrusted their education to the Apostles of the Sacred Heart. “You are the reason the school is here,” said Alumnae Director Sr. Mariette Moan, ASCJ, ’77 in her address to the women, many of whom are in their eighties. The event was a wonderful merging of the Academy’s heritage with its promising future.

“Continuing the year-long celebration of 70 years of excellence in Catholic education, Sacred Heart Academy joined with Notre Dame in a joyous liturgy in September at St. Rita Church,” offers Director of Admissions Elaine Lamboley ’60. “Because Notre Dame High School is also celebrating 70 years and has shared in so many liturgies, concerts, plays, and events with Sacred Heart over the years, it was fitting to begin our celebratory year with a liturgy and reception together.” Elaine recalls the impact the Sacred Heart/Notre Dame relationship had on her as a student. “I well remember my years as

a student at Sacred Heart, and, especially, the awaited Spring Festival at Notre Dame each year, where we joined as “Sacred Heart Academy Corettes” with the “Notre Dame Knights” in a spectacular performance. Now, our students continue to act and sing together in performance and other social events, yet also engage in more meaningful campus ministry and community support activities.”

what promises to be a huge hit for students, there will be a fashion show highlighting the development of the Sacred Heart uniform through the decades as well as a sock-hop with Notre Dame which will include a service component. Several additional student activities and events are currently in the planning stage with the likelihood that more will be added throughout the year.

In honor of our 70th anniversary, a photo will be taken from atop the Academy’s entrance where the entire student body will assemble outside in the shape of the number 70. As a way to link the old with the new, Sacred Heart’s social media pages will feature #takemebacktuesday, presenting interesting facts from the school’s inaugural year. In

The celebrations occurring are meant to remind us that Sacred Heart Academy’s best days are not simply behind us, but before us. The legacy of the past 70 years has built a foundation which ensures that the next 70 will be just as blessed and successful as the first.

Lorraine Paszkeicz D’Ambruoso ’60 graduated from Sacred Heart with a special gift, one that she has carried with her throughout her dedicated career. “Sr. Aloysius Como, ASCJ instilled in me the love of language,” she says. “I really learned to love French because of her.” As a lifelong supporter of nationwide language education in California, where she moved with her family after graduating from Sacred Heart, Lorraine taught French and AP English to high school students for 35 years, took on numerous leadership roles in language advocacy groups, and has received numerous awards for sharing her passion for non-English languages across the state. “So many languages are spoken across the country, and they are not 'foreign',” says Lorraine, who doesn’t use the term when referring to languages other than English. “They are the maternal languages of the non-native people who live here, and we need to encourage them to maintain these languages while they learn English. My parents were second generation Italians, and they told my grandparents not to speak Italian to me when I was learning English. That’s a loss I still feel today.”


EXCELSIOR LIVES

Lorraine Paszkeicz D’Ambruoso ’60

Though her love of language began with French, Lorraine supports the presence of many other non-English languages. She worked with the University of California at Berkeley to expand education for Spanish and Vietnamese learners, and has spent the past five years working with colleagues to establish Mandarin Chinese programs throughout California. In fact, all of the work Lorraine has done since graduating from the University of Santa Clara in 1964 has revolved around promoting and promulgating the spread of non-English languages on the West Coast. While Lorraine enjoyed teaching high school, her interests eventually shifted toward educating educators, or helping other teachers improve their instruction methods and advocating for better statewide standards. “As the years went by, I became more involved with teacher training, realizing that world language educators had little or no voice at the tables where policy was made and funds were allocated,” Lorraine says. “So I retired from the classroom to become executive director for the California Language Teachers Association (CLTA), with hope that I could be a voice for my chosen profession.”

And a voice she was! Under Lorraine’s direction, CLTA successfully advocated for a framework of best practices and proficiency standards, funding for teacher development, textbook recommendations and approval of Spanish for Spanish speakers programs. When Lorraine retired as executive director in 2014 to become a full-time caregiver for her elderly mother, CLTA established an award in her name — The Lorraine D’Ambruoso Award for Meritorious Service to the Profession. The award is given to exceptional educators and members of CLTA. Another notable award for Lorraine’s dedication came from the French Government, which welcomed Lorraine twice into the Ordre des Palmes Académiques (Order of Academic Palms), once as an officer and then again as a knight, recognizing her contributions to French education. Though she is officially retired from both teaching and leadership duties, Lorraine remains active in language education, primarily because she believes that learning a multitude of languages — as well as how to apply them in the real world — is integral to the success of our upcoming generations. “When I first began coordinating these efforts to improve language instruction, I liked seeing students actually use the languages they were studying for real world purposes in culturally appropriate ways,” she says. “The biggest challenge for those of us working in this field is that people still think English is all one needs to succeed. But in our global society, young people need to learn other languages and cultures in order to contribute and prosper.”

Currently, Lorraine co-convenes the annual Seminar for World Language Educators at the University of California at Santa Barbara, which draws teachers from across the nation, including those who teach less common languages such as Mandarin, Farsi, Arabic, and Hindi. She is also chair of the advisory board for the California World Language Project and sits on the board of directors for the French-American School of Silicon Valley. She remains a tireless advocate for language education in California and, more importantly, a passionate learner herself. She was recently accepted into a doctoral program in social justice at Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara; she does not yet know what she will do with her degree, but is looking forward to the challenges it will present. Being accepted into the doctoral program is yet another in a long list of accomplishments for this Greene Street Girl, whose freshman class was the last to enter into Sacred Heart’s original school building on Greene Street in New Haven. Lorraine still traces her love of learning back to the Academy, where she remembers relishing the challenges of academia. “Sacred Heart made me what I am today,” she says. “My family did not have a lot of money. Buying textbooks and uniforms was a heavy burden for us. I didn’t participate in after-school activities because I worked at Pegnataro’s grocery store to help pay my expenses. I adored the Sisters, who were all so giving and encouraging. At the age of 74, I am a lifelong learner, the best result of my days at Sacred Heart.” You inspire us, Lorraine Paszkeicz D’Ambruoso ’60, this issue’s Excelsior Woman!

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT Judith Suffrard ’17

Judith proudly presents the Haitian flag.

Sometimes, service is just as much about going home as about traveling to a different country. For Judith Suffrard ’17, it is more the former. Even though she was born in the United States, her family is from Haiti and Haitian culture has been formative for her. She fondly recalls all the different cultural cues she had to sort through as a child. “In Haiti, saying ‘Hello’ to your mother or anyone older than you is considered disrespectful, but in America it’s perfectly fine. In the US, looking someone in the eye is encouraged, but not in Haiti. I had to grow up and learn how to be respectful in both cultures.” An important principle in Haitian culture is service, and this has had a lasting impression on Judith. In August she went on her first mission trip to Haiti to a rural place called Pestel, where her parents grew up and lived before immigrating to the US. She traveled with her parents and other members of her congregation. Upon arrival she felt something of a culture shock. “In this part of Haiti, there are no paved roads, electricity, running water, or well-constructed buildings. Dirt roads are carved into the mountain and many people fear traveling as it can be very dangerous because cars sometimes go over the edge.” The lack of

“Service is about receiving and understanding something from the people you serve.” Judith Suffrard, ’17 amenities that Judith encountered seemed daunting at first. “When I was there, my shower consisted of rain water, a bucket, and a stall made out of branches and palm tree leaves,” she offers. Far more significant were issues with some of the people she encountered. “The purpose of the trip was to go out into the streets and teach people about Jesus. It was a mission trip in the purest sense of the word. But there were a lot of people in the neighborhood who seriously practiced voodoo and owed money to voodoo practitioners for various reasons. Those people did not want to hear about Christianity, and so we put ourselves in physical danger simply by being Christians. We put our faith in God and trusted that he was watching over us.” In the United States, the thought of persecution for being a Christian is a thing of the past. In reality,

people face danger for their religious beliefs even in the Western Hemisphere. Judith’s experience highlights the many material and spiritual privileges Americans have that can easily be taken for granted. “Service is more than just giving,” says Judith. “It is about receiving and understanding something from the people you serve.” Judith is quick to mention that Haiti is also a rich country in another sense. “There is richness in Haiti that Americans may not understand,” she shares. “After I saw Pestel with my own eyes, I tried to envision growing up like my parents did. It would mean that I wouldn’t know English or the alphabet. I would not have had many clothes to wear, or a reliable source of clean water, or indoor plumbing. But I would have known many other things. I would have known how to worship. Haitian Christians adore God as though He is the only thing they have, which He is.” The biggest lesson that Judith learned in Haiti was that service cannot be reduced to feeling good about helping others. “To me, service is about giving your heart, about sacrificing your comfort and security.”

“God gave us a bountiful garden, but we have turned it into a polluted wasteland of debris, desolation, and filth,” Pope Francis writes in Laudato Si, a papal document released to coincide with the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. Each year the cast and crew of our musical participates in a service project. Inspired by our Pope, the cast and crew this year decided to act on his words. Being “Under the Sea” can be fun, but the reality of living on the Connecticut shoreline is another story. By partnering with the non-profit organization, Save Our Sound, this year’s “Little Mermaid” team committed to several beach clean-ups throughout the month of September. Preserving nature is a vital aspect of the Pope’s call to action and our students responded with hours of dedicated service by cleaning up our shoreline.

am honored and excited to represent it. As class treasurer in my freshman and sophomore years, class president in junior year, and now STUCO president, I have learned so much — determination, perseverance, hard work, time management, and, most importantly, compassion. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to establish many new events and initiatives in these leadership roles — charity events to raise money for Haiti, a schoolwide dog therapy session, and the new athletic branding. The Student Council is ready for a great year in which we hope to introduce new things as we continue tradition. At the end of this year I will graduate and be leaving my sisters at Sacred Heart — not only my fellow student sisters, but my actual sisters, Annie ’20 and Liz ’18. It’s nice to think that what I’ve done has helped to build a better school community.

I love to volunteer at Sacred Heart Academy because I feel that it is the greatest gift that I can give back to the school. When I volunteer, I feel as though I am giving a piece of myself to the Sacred Heart Academy community, and what a joyous feeling I get by helping out. The feeling is immeasurable!

I owe everything to you, the teachers and staff of Sacred Heart Academy. You taught me that I do have the potential to succeed. You gave me motivation, perseverance, and the courage to take on new challenges and force myself to take on new tasks that fall out of my comfort zone.

STRONG BONDS — REUNION 2016 I was touched to see so many former classmates. It is so very hard to believe that 50 years has passed since we were together, yet we picked up right where we left off. Walking the halls of Sacred Heart brought back so many memories, and what I didn't remember my classmates quickly reminded me! There were truly strong bonds formed during our four years and they will never be broken.

We ask for your prayers for our newly elected alumnae — Sr. Anne Teresa Walsh, ASCJ, ’81 newly named Vicaress General/Councilor and formerly Provincial Superior; Sr. Ritamary Schulz, ASCJ, ’59, beloved two-time Academy principal serving as Provincial Superior; Sr. Mariette Moan, ASCJ, ’77, our director of alumnae relations, serving as Councilor; and Sr. Rita Petrarca, ASCJ, ’58 serving as Secretary. The transition of leadership took place during a ceremony at Mount Sacred Heart in September.
