“For over a century and a half, St. Joseph’s Prep has been educating young men in the Jesuit tradition in a city rich in history and diverse in culture. This outstanding educational experience offered to Prep students, both inside the classroom and beyond, is vital in their formation as engaged citizens and future leaders.” DR. MARK C. REED ’92 Chair, Board of Trustees
Dear Friends,
I
am always eager to share my gratitude and look forward each year to the opportunity to say THANK YOU! Over the past year, our alumni, parents, and friends have supported St. Joseph’s Prep, as they have for generations. Throughout our history, the corner of 17th & Girard has seen wars, depression, loss, and more than one pandemic, but the Prep has remained as a constant—a shining beacon of light and hope for our city, our country, and our world. For nearly 170 years, the Prep has remained strong, educating students from all corners of the Delaware Valley and from across the socioeconomic spectrum. This ideal has been true throughout our entire history and continues to be true today because of the commitment of you, the Prep community.
As I begin my final year as the president of my beloved alma mater, I remain committed to our incredible mission: to offer all students a highquality Jesuit education that is rooted in the Gospel message of service. We strive to cultivate students who not only excel in college and beyond, but also serve as pillars of their community by embracing service opportunities at work, at home, and in their neighborhoods. We are proud to be the Jesuit high school of Philadelphia and to have played a large part in the creation of this wonderful city. These pages detail the women and men who have given generously to our school and the impact of their generosity on our students. Thank you all for your continued support of St. Joseph’s Prep! In peace,
REV. JOHN W. SWOPE, SJ ’72

THE PREP CARES F
or nearly 170 years, the Prep has been a fixture in the Philadelphia community. Founded in Old City in 1851, the school has moved locations twice: first to Center City, and then to its current home in North Philadelphia, where it has stood as a neighborhood cornerstone since the 1880s. The physical campus of the Prep, which has been upgraded to suit the evolving needs of the school, has also changed over the years. Though much has changed throughout our history, one thing has remained constant: the Prep’s mission, rooted in care for its students, its community, and its city.
This care starts in the classroom, of course, where students are mentored by a dedicated group of women and men who draw out the best from the young men in front of them.
4 | THE PREP CARES
It continues in the hours spent caring for our neighbors as part of the Prep’s service program. It is sustained in our students’ passion for high-level athletics and co-curricular programs, where they work with coaches and moderators who care deeply about their growth and success. These components of the Prep education meld to form outstanding servant leaders who thrive in their chosen professions, who are leaders in their families and their faith, and who strive to become Men For Others.
All of this is possible thanks to the generosity of the Prep’s alumni, parents, and friends. For generations, your gifts have made it possible for students from all over the Delaware Valley to receive a high-quality Jesuit education. From establishing scholarships to supporting infrastructure and other needs, the Prep’s donors have been there when the school has needed them most, showing that care that future generations depend upon. In the 2019-20 fiscal year, more than $11 million was donated to the school, a Prep record for one year. The gifts went to a myriad of projects: the For Others Forever Campaign, scholarships and financial aid, other endowment gifts, and the Prep Fund. The campaign has surpassed $16 million in total gifts, including nearly $12 million in added endowment funds. Many of these new endowments will directly benefit student scholarships and financial aid. In addition, gifts have been made to support the campaign’s capital projects, including the Learning Commons and the Theatre. One project, in particular, stands out: the Prep Cares Challenge. With the pandemic causing economic unrest, many of our families were faced with a terrible dilemma: how to continue to send their sons to the Prep while facing so much insecurity in jobs and income. This is where the Prep Cares Challenge came in. In just a few weeks, our alumni, parents, and friends gave more than $600,000, which was designated for those who needed it most: our families devastated by the crisis. This ensured that no student had to leave the Prep because of economic hardship. Yes, the Prep cares, and it is visible every day. Our alumni, parents, and friends give so that our dedicated faculty and staff can educate the next generation of leaders, who then support the Prep so that the subsequent generation can go forth and set the world on fire. It is this cycle of generosity that sets the Prep apart and will continue to allow it to stand tall for the next 170 years.

CARE FOR THE MIND
S
t. Joseph’s Prep proudly holds a stellar reputation as a highly challenging academic institution. Our students continually move on to outstanding colleges and universities, ready to succeed at the next level and in their professional lives beyond. For almost all of the Prep’s history, academic lessons have been imparted in traditional in-person classroom experiences, with teachers working directly with students in the classroom.
In March of 2020, that became impossible. The pandemic forced schools to close, meaning they could no longer offer in-person instruction. For many schools, this became a major challenge; however, at the Prep, the faculty and students moved seamlessly into remote learning. “Our outstanding, dedicated faculty kept our academic standards high, even while working remotely,” says Principal Andy Cavacos. “It was certainly something that was new to many of us, but with just a few quick adjustments, our students were challenged in their coursework as always.” Continued on page 8
A CHALLENGING CURRICULUM AND FACULTY MAKE THE DIFFERENCE Paris Davenport ’21 As an eighth grader at the Gesu School, Paris Davenport was accustomed to high-level academics. His teacher challenged his class, wanting to make sure they were prepared for high school. Davenport said that some of the high schools he explored during his search process were a letdown; he felt that they would not challenge him as much as he was used to. That concern was mitigated when he looked at the Prep.
character that someone else has created, and writing gives you the opportunity to do that creating yourself.” This summer, Davenport attended a writing class at the University of the Arts, learning the process of writing fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. He even enjoyed writing poetry, something that he felt wasn’t his strong suit. Davenport points to the outstanding faculty who have nurtured him. “I have never had a bad teacher at the Prep,” he says. “Every one of them has been challenging in his or her own way with a certain level of expectations. It has all been a part of the process to get me to where I am now.”
Davenport has special words for two of his English teachers. “Ms. (Leslie) Ryan was always looking for ways to connect us to what we were reading and to make us feel comfortable while challenging us at the same time,” he says. “Ms. (Susie) Cook was one of the most challenging Davenport has definitely made the most of the challenges teachers I have had, but you could tell that she genuinely that the Prep presented. A Xavierian Scholar, he has cared for us. She wanted to make sure we learned as embraced the Prep’s liberal arts education. “I read as much as we possibly could.” much as I can, whether it’s material assigned by a teacher or anything else that I can get my hands on,” he says. All of this is leading to his eventual goal: “I’d love to “Reading gives you the opportunity to see a world or a become an author and write a bestseller.” “The Prep was definitely the right next step for me. I knew that it would challenge me and prepare me for college,” he says.

The quick pivot was possible in part because of work being done at the school for years. The 1:1 program, in which each student receives a Chromebook, ensured that there would be no technological gap for families, and the academic administration team worked with families who needed to enhance their internet access at home. In addition, the school was prepared for virtual learning, having recently transitioned to the Google platform. Holding class virtually gave our faculty the chance to introduce guest speakers from different parts of the country. Several teachers utilized the Prep’s vast alumni network to supplement the curriculum in their classrooms. They brought in experts from many different fields, including technology gurus from Silicon Valley, web developers, reporters from national publications, and more. This summer, with the installation of cameras in every classroom, the Prep invested even more in technology to allow the school to offer a hybrid model of instruction to start the 2020-21 school year. These new technologies will also give teachers more flexibility to record classes in the future.
STEM INVESTMENT STRENGTHENS ACADEMIC POWERHOUSE
Pat Bartlett and Mike Barry P ’14 When Pat Bartlett and Mike Barry sent their son Shaun to the Prep, they were excited to have him join this “academic powerhouse,” but they wanted to ensure that the school invested in STEM initiatives.
Houghton in Conshohocken. Their daughter Shannon, a graduate of the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, is a pharmacist who now lives in Celebration, FL, with her husband, Greg, and 2-year-old daughter, Riley. Shaun, who holds a master’s degree in electrical engineering from Drexel, works in artificial intelligence for a startup company.
“When we arrived in 2010, the Prep had just opened the Maguire Science Center and was really making an investment in the STEM programs,” Bartlett says. “It was clear that the school was focusing on science to keep pace with the other outstanding programs at the school.”
“The STEM education that we received in high school and college developed our strong analytical skills and became the foundation upon which we built our careers,” Bartlett says. “Helping provide STEM educational opportunities for others is important to us.”
Bartlett says that theirs is a “STEM family.” Both she and Barry were trained as chemical engineers and are graduates of Drexel University, and both have spent their entire careers in the global chemical industry. Upon graduation, Bartlett began her career in R&D, while Barry started his career in manufacturing. Over the years, they have also held positions in product management, marketing management, sales, business management, global optimization, supply chain, treasury, investor relations, and finance. Bartlett is now retired after spending most of her career at ARCO Chemical Company, while Barry is currently CEO of Quaker

The family firmly believes in education. Barry is on the Board of Trustees of the Franklin Institute and recently joined the Board of Trustees at Drexel, where he has also consulted for the Department of Engineering. The couple directs their annual gift to support the Prep physics program in recognition of the education that Shaun received. “We have been very happy to see the growth of the Prep’s math and science initiatives over the 10 years that we have been involved at the school,” Bartlett says. “When I see how prepared Shaun was for college and how prepared his friends—who went into other science or math fields—were, you can see that the school is doing a great job.”

box of dominoes. When asked to sum up his work with Mission and Ministry last year, this is the image that came to Aidan Connor ’21. Of course, it wasn’t just the boxed game that was so meaningful to Connor, but the story behind it.
The dominoes belonged to an elderly man in a senior center near San Juan, Puerto Rico. Connor and several of his Prep brothers were there for a summer service immersion trip and spent a day in service to the elderly of the center. Part of that day was spent playing dominoes. “We couldn’t communicate because he didn’t speak English, so it caught us off guard when he gave us his personal set of dominoes,” Connor says. “Even though we couldn’t speak to him, you could sense that he was just a sweet man. He really enjoyed our being there, and it made an impact on him. I feel like that little moment meant so much. When he gave us his dominoes, it was such a generous thing for him to do and symbolic of service: we give to them, but they give back to us so much.” Continued on page 10

SENIOR GROWS CLOSER TO GOD THROUGH MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS
Matt Bae ’21 “What I appreciate most about my time with Mission and Ministry are the people and the interactions with the community.” Those words from Matt Bae sum up the work that he treasures with the Mission and Ministry Leadership Board. Originally, this was just one of the areas that he decided to try out at the end of his freshman year but, after two years and countless experiences, it has become the highlight of his Prep career. Since joining the board, Bae has been a part of the process of planning school Masses, retreats, and service opportunities. He was blessed to be able to attend the Puerto Rico summer service immersion trip in 2019. “Going to San Juan was a great experience,” he says. “One of my favorite things was learning how to play dominoes, which was very popular with the elderly in the center where we worked. We learned it and played
it with them. Even though I was pretty bad at it and got beat every time, it was nice to learn that part of their culture and connect with them.” During Mass, Bae often handles the role of altar server and has drawn attention from his fellow students and others in the Prep community by participating in music ministry. An accomplished violinist, his work during Masses has added a reverence to school liturgies. Last spring, his performance of “Amazing Grace” was recorded and sent to the Prep community at the start of Holy Week. Most importantly, Bae’s work on the Mission and Ministry Leadership Board has helped him develop a closer relationship with God. “I now think of my relationship with God as more of one with a buddy—someone with whom I can have a conversation,” he says. “It’s informal and personal, but it’s the way that I can express my thoughts to God. A lot of that comes from my work with the Mission and Ministry team. We do a lot of reflection, sharing experiences and emotions. We take Emmaus Walks on retreats, where we share conversations that open up new pathways and share experiences. These have helped me grow closer to God.”
Continued from page 9
Connor is part of the Mission and Ministry Leadership Board, a group of students who are selected after an application process. The board, under the leadership of Rev. Chuck Frederico, SJ, and the campus ministers, does much of the planning for the year, which includes retreats, Masses, and service opportunities. One of Connor’s pet projects last year was Ignatian Identity Week. He served on a committee that planned the week-long series of activities that celebrated the Prep’s Jesuit roots. The week highlights how much Ignatian ideals are woven into the Prep’s daily work. “At some point, it’s easy to forget about our Ignatian ideals, because school can become school,” Connor says. “Ignatian Identity Week helps remind us of these things and brings them to the forefront.” The Office of Mission and Ministry’s goal is simply to bring the Prep community into a deeper relationship with God. The retreats, Masses, and service projects are the most visible parts of reaching this goal, but for Connor, it’s the community that helps strengthen his beliefs. “For me, it’s the people I have met who have helped me grow closer to God. Not just the other students, but also Fr. Chuck and the rest of the team,” he says. “They help me see that God is guiding the way. Looking around, I can see God through them.” 10 | CARE FOR OUR JESUIT MISSION
JESUIT EDUCATION INSPIRES SUPPORT OF THE PREP
Jim Rowen Jim Rowen has never been to St. Joseph’s Prep. In fact, his only connection to the school is a friendship with Senior Director of Mission and Ministry Rev. Chuck Frederico, SJ. The two became friends when Fr. Frederico was in New York City in his role as Director of Vocations for the Society of Jesus and Rowen was serving as the chair of the Board of Trustees at Fordham Prep. However, this unconventional connection to the Prep did not stop the philanthropist from giving a major gift to start the Mission and Ministry Endowment Fund at the Prep. Rowen, a 1982 graduate of Fordham Prep (one of the 69 Jesuit high schools in the United States and Canada), is a major proponent of Jesuit education. In addition to his gift of time and talent to his alma mater, Rowen has also generously financially supported the school and other service efforts.
“When I attended Fordham Prep, the students, the faculty, and the administration became my family,” he says. “They made me feel like a part of something special. When I graduated, I wanted to carry on St. Ignatius’ teachings and be in the service of those less fortunate.” In addition to his gift to establish the new Mission and Ministry Endowment, last November Rowen pledged up to $250,000 to fund the Great Ignatian Challenge, an effort to support the social justice initiatives at six Jesuit high schools, including St. Joseph’s Prep. The money was awarded to the schools’ general financial aid and scholarship funds in recognition of their efforts in holiday food drives. Since the initiative launched in 2016, Rowen has contributed more than $1 million to the effort. “St. Ignatius taught us that love consists of sharing what we have, and that it shows itself in deeds more than words,” says Rowen, who is chief operating officer of Renaissance Technologies, LLC, a New York-based registered investment adviser. “Through the Great Ignatian Challenge, these students are putting these words into action. I was so very proud and humbled to be part of this effort.”

CARE FOR STUDENTS’ PASSIONS
H
igh-level athletics and co-curricular activities are also a hallmark of a Prep education. These endeavors are where students discover ways to cultivate and care for their passions outside of the classroom and use the talents that were given to them by God. At a Jesuit school, this discovery embodies the value of cura personalis, the education and care of the whole person.
Our coaches and moderators are gifted women and men who help their students strive for their best on the fields and courts, but their true ability to make their students better is intertwined with their desire to help the students grow as men. In the summer of 2019, the Prep Crew program made international headlines by pulling off an incredible come-from-behind victory over a German crew at the Henley Royal Regatta. The win was replayed repeatedly and considered one of the prestigious regatta’s highlights. Under the direction of John Fife ’98, the group was poised for an even more impressive run last spring before the season was cancelled due to COVID-19. That didn’t mean, however, the end of crew. Fife and his fellow coaches continued to engage with the rowers, who even participated in virtual competitions with other schools. Continued on page 14
A LOVE FOR GAMING LEADS TO SERVING OTHERS
Joseph Koslosky ’22 When Joseph Koslosky was an 8th grader, he was awarded an Ignatian Scholarship to attend the Prep. At the annual Scholars Dinner, he met another scholar, Jordan Busza ’19, who was a junior at the time and one of the leaders of the Strategy Gaming Club. The club was right up Koslosky’s alley, and he has been a regular attendee since joining it in his first days at the Prep. In just two years, Koslosky has become a group leader, attending nearly every club meeting and event. While the club has given Koslosky best friends, it has also allowed him to use his passion to help others. For several years, the Strategy Gaming Club has held a
24-hour Extra Life marathon to raise money for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. During the event, which is livestreamed, the club plays hours and hours of games, all in the name of a good cause. This past year, the club expanded its service component to include tutoring at the Gesu School. After homework is completed, club members engage the students in some fun games as a reward for a job well done. “I really love going to the Gesu School to give service,” says Koslosky, a graduate of St. Aloysius Academy. “The Extra Life marathon is great, but this lets us see and interact with the people we are helping. It felt much more personal and was a fun time.” For Koslosky, it is a dual victory. “To be able to take something that we are passionate about and turn it into a force for good is really special,” he says.

“INVALUABLE” FOOTBALL PROGRAM REPRESENTS THE PREP
Mark and Stephanie Shaw P ’16 For Mark Shaw and his wife Stephanie, supporting the Prep Football Endowment Program was a simple decision. “The football team strives to represent all of the things that the Prep is about,” says Shaw, who has served as a coach in the program since 2012. “Words like sacrifice, commitment, love, trust, appreciation, responsibility, and accountability are such critical lessons to learn in life. The Prep teachings embody these words. What we try to do in the football program is to be another vehicle for doubling down on that mission in our attempts to produce high-quality young men who become leaders.” For Shaw, the Prep is more than a place where his son went to school. The men he coaches with have become like brothers and the players have become like sons. He says that feeling of family and brotherhood pervades the school. “St. Joe’s Prep is one of those places that is hard to describe but easy to recognize,” he says.
be able to pay additional funds to allow their sons to participate in the sport. “It is critical that financial restraints do not keep us from providing a top-shelf opportunity for the young men in our community,” Shaw says. “We need to continue to provide this high-level program for the young men who want it—who want to be tested at the highest level in the classroom and also on the football field.” This endowment is crucial to the success of the program and provides all students the opportunity to be led by an incredible group of coaches. “I have seen firsthand the influence that a great coach who is also a great human being can have on a young person,” Shaw says. “That is something that will last and stay with that young man for a lifetime. It’s an invaluable experience.” The opportunity to help the football program is an opportunity to give back to something that has impacted Shaw and his family tremendously. “Being a part of Prep Football has been a privilege; an incredible, enriching experience,” he says. “I have developed lifelong friendships. They have made me a better man, a better husband, a better father, and a better coworker. I have gotten so much more out of it than I have given.”
The football endowment allows the school to support families who are already paying tuition and may not

Last year, the football team had another outstanding season under the direction of first-year head coach Tim Roken, winning their fifth state championship in seven years. A few months later, the program had a huge night as three alumni—John Reid ’15, Jon Daniel Runyan ’15, and D’Andre Swift ’17—were all selected in the NFL draft, the largest number for a nonspecialized high school. Their success on the field is matched by their character off the field, another hallmark of Prep Athletics. Both the football and crew programs are the beneficiaries of endowment programs through which alumni, parents, and friends offset additional costs that the athletic programs might incur (including travel, equipment, etc.). These endowments allow our coaches and players to achieve greater heights than ever before.

o one could have foreseen the incredible devastation that was brought on by COVID-19. Primarily a health crisis, this upheaval soon led to an economic downturn. Prep families, who already sacrifice so much, were forced to make incredibly difficult decisions.
Wanting to ensure that no student would need to leave the Prep, the school launched the Prep Cares Challenge, shifting all of its annual fundraising efforts to this undertaking, which proved vital to the future of the Prep and its students. To no one’s surprise, the Prep’s alumni, parents, and friends responded, raising nearly $600,000. The success of this challenge ensured that more than 140 students could continue to study at their beloved school. The endeavor was fueled by the work of many volunteers who helped to rally their classes and fellow parents. In addition, several sponsors of the annual Prep Classic, which was canceled this past spring, donated their sponsorships to the Prep Cares Challenge. One student who is benefitting from the Prep Cares Challenge is Anthony Salvato ’23. This summer, Anthony’s family found that the economic crisis combined with his father’s fighting cancer meant that paying the Prep tuition was going to be a major challenge. However, his family felt that keeping Anthony at the Prep was of the highest priority. “He has blossomed,” says his mother, Marie. “I have seen him become an opinionated, well-spoken young man moving into adulthood.” The Salvato family reached out to Financial Aid and was able to receive support from the Prep Cares Challenge. “Getting a grant from Prep Cares made it so much easier,” Marie says. “We weren’t sure how we were going to be able to do it, but now we know. We are so incredibly grateful.” The family truly feels the value of the Prep brotherhood. Anthony plays hockey, and people from the program have helped with equipment and ice time, as well as rides to and from games and practices. “The Prep has become a real family for us and is truly the brotherhood that it says it is,” Marie says. “It confirms for us that it was the right decision to send Anthony there.”

RISING TO THE PREP CARES CHALLENGE
Class of 1975 It has been nearly a half-century since the Class of 1975 entered the doors of the Prep, but few classes have made as big of an impact. The class showed their love for their alma mater this spring by raising nearly $35,000 for the Prep Cares Challenge, making them the most generous class by far. “The men of the Prep Class of ’75 are among the finest I have ever met,” says Mark Meehan, one of the class agents who worked to rally his classmates. “They are generous, caring individuals who are always willing to help a classmate or the Prep. I asked my classmates to help this year, and their response reinforced who I knew they were—the best!” Meehan says that the Prep Cares Challenge was especially important to this class. “Giving a donation to help young men continue their education at the Prep during an economic downturn was a small way to pay back for all the Prep has done for me and my sons,” he says. Brian Cattie, another class leader, had similar thoughts. “My two brothers and I received financial aid during our years at the Prep. We had to work odd jobs to make

our way through, and without financial assistance we could never have made it,” he says. “Living through the financial hardships made us appreciate the Prep’s generosity. I am just paying it forward like so many have done in the past.” Since graduation, the Class of ’75 has remained close, gathering multiple times per year. It is rare to not have a large group of ’75ers at Prep sporting events and alumni functions. The class was also instrumental in the early days of the election for their classmate Michael Nutter, helping him in his successful run for Mayor of Philadelphia. “We have been trained to be Men for Others, and there is no better way to live our faith and training than to give in support of the Prep community and our students,” says Nutter, who made multiple contributions to the Challenge.

GIVING IN GRATITUDE FOR SON’S EDUCATION
Drs. Kathy and Asoka Balaratna P ’20 When asked to share their Prep story, the Doctors Balaratna were initially hesitant. After some thought, they decided to show their sincere gratitude for all that the Prep has given their son, Ian ’20, currently a freshman in the Schreyer Honors College at Penn State University. “The Prep means so much to us,” says Asoka. “When Kathy told me about the Prep Cares Challenge, all she had to do was say the words ‘The Prep.’ We are so grateful for what the Prep has done for Ian.” Ian’s story shows the impact of the Prep tradition. Asoka first heard about the school from Mr. John Braithwaite, the father of several Prep graduates, including Tony Braithwaite ’89, Director of the Cape and Sword Drama Society. “From the time Ian was in kindergarten, John Braithwaite would campaign for him to attend the Prep,” Asoka laughs. When Ian was a student at Ancillae-Assumpta Academy, several of the other parents were also Prep grads. “Wonderful people like Joe Murphy (’88) and Chris Lucarini (’90) would frequently ask Ian about his high school search,” Asoka remembers. Kathy recalls, “They were the best advertisement for the Prep.”
Asoka remembers Lucarini accompanying the family to an Open House at the Prep. “Chris was so excited to show him around. It showed us that there was something special about the Prep.” When the chance came to donate to the Prep Cares Challenge, the Balaratnas didn’t hesitate. “We felt it was an opportunity to give back,” Kathy says. “We have so much gratitude to the Prep for being such a major influence on Ian’s formative high school years.” “Ian had so many mentors at the Prep, just amazing teachers and college counselors,” she continues. “Throughout this past spring, the teachers and counselors consistently supported the students through difficult months.” Ian joined the Cape and Sword Drama Society as a freshman and became Technical and Lighting Director as a senior, with mentors Kevin Ryan ’08 and Tony Braithwaite. “They set such good examples and imparted incredible life lessons,” Kathy says. “It came full circle for us—John Braithwaite gave us the start, and Tony was there all the way through to the end.”

For the past 50 years, that physical space has been occupied by the main building, which opened in 1969 after a devastating fire destroyed two-thirds of the Prep’s campus. Since then, the school has made some tweaks, such as adding the Kelly Fieldhouse in the 1990s and Jesuit Hall and the Sauter Dining Hall in the 2000s.
Today, we look forward to the next great Prep endeavor, which is the work that will need to be done to ensure that the facilities are equipped for the faculty and students of today and the future.

The For Others Forever Campaign was launched to make both of those dreams a reality. In just a short time, the campaign has been a huge success. The response from the community has been, as expected, incredible. Already, more than $12 million has been raised for the endowment, primarily focused on financial aid and scholarships. Prep alumni, especially, are grateful for the education they received. They want to pay it forward for the scholarship that they received, or ensure that the Prep can continue to attract the diversity of minds that led to their great conversations in the classroom. At the same time, many members of the Prep community have stepped up to support the physical transformations included in the plan. They value all that the Prep offers its young men, and can see the vision of the impact that the transformed physical space will make for the already outstanding education provided. This transformation will create learning facilities that match the high caliber of a Prep education, empowering our faculty and students to innovate and explore on a campus that meets their needs— both now and in the future.
ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP CREATES A CYCLE OF PHILANTHROPY
Michelle and Chris Gangemi ’65 As a physician at St. Joseph’s Hospital in the 1950s, Chris Gangemi’s late father treated many of the Jesuits who lived and worked at the Prep. These men so impressed Dr. Gangemi that he knew the Prep was the right fit for his son. “My dad’s commitment to the Prep was such that he was absolutely insistent that I go there,” says Chris. “In retrospect, I am grateful.” So grateful, in fact, that he and his wife established the Columbus R. Gangemi Scholarship Fund to honor the memory of his father.
Chris’s Prep education led to success at Villanova, where he earned a degree before entering Villanova Law School. There he met Michelle and the couple moved to Chicago. Chris’s career took him around the country and the world, as he handled cases in federal courts and appeared before the United States Supreme Court. Now retired, the couple wants to support a school that means so much. “We want to provide opportunities for students who have the skills, the will, and the determination to be successful there,” says Chris.
“Of all of the experiences in my life, the Prep had the most critical influence on me,” he says. “Whatever success I have had came from the commitment to excellence that I placed on myself as a consequence of my Prep education.”
Michelle has seen the impact of the Prep on her husband. “The discipline that he has today came from the Prep and those teachers,” she observes. “He has talked about the Prep quite a bit and how it influenced his life. I believe that it can do so much good for the community.”
Chris remembers his Prep teachers, especially Rev. Francis X. Moan, SJ and Dr. Charles Barton. “Dr. Barton was an incredible teacher who pursued knowledge for the sake of knowledge,” Chris says. “Fr. Moan also took me under his wing and was a significant mentor.”
She hopes that their endowment will start a cycle of philanthropy. “Our hope is that students who receive the Gangemi Scholarship will establish scholarships for future students,” she says. “That way, we can continue supporting the Prep, even after we are gone.” Chris sums it up nicely. “I feel a great debt to the Prep. It’s time to give back.”
PRESIDENT’S REPORT | 21
A SCHOLARSHIP TO REMEMBER HIS FATHER’S LOVE OF THE PREP
Michael Schoener ’05 George Schoener ’72 was the living embodiment of an active Prep graduate. From graduation until his too-early passing in 2007, he was a class leader, he promoted the school, and he supported the school financially. Now, thanks to the generosity of his son Michael, his name will live on through an endowed scholarship. Michael, a client partner at Klein Hersh, says his gift came after a conversation with his mother. “She had been reading the Prep’s President’s Report and encouraged me to think about giving to the Prep,” he says.
This led to the creation of an endowed scholarship. Michael wanted to honor his father. “So many times in my life, people would say, ‘your dad would be so proud,’ and that was always nice to hear,” Michael says. “However, this is one thing where I can absolutely say that he would say that. It would have meant so much to him.” Michael attended the Pre8th Program but wanted to stay in public school. His parents eventually made the decision to send him to the Prep, and Michael is so glad that they did. “It ended up being the best decision for me,” he says. “It came down to the brotherhood and the friendships that I found there,” he says. “It ended up being the best decision for me. I have lifelong friends from the Prep.”
SUPPORTING THE PREP’S NEED TO CONTINUALLY EVOLVE
Kathy and Dan Heist P ’98, ’00 For Dan Heist, his first memory of St. Joseph’s Prep came from attending Open House with his son, Daniel. “That day, one of the speakers said, ‘high school boys need freedom and they need structure,’” he remembers. “He talked about how the Prep provides walls for their students to stay within, but gives them the freedom to bounce around inside those walls. That image has stayed with me.” Dan and Kathy Heist were early investors in the For Others Forever Campaign, believing in the vision of the school as expressed to them by the Prep’s leadership. “They explained it to us and were very sincere in demonstrating the need for the campaign,” Kathy says. For the couple, the school’s Jesuit roots are important. “The Prep has always been relevant to the current environment of Philadelphia,” Dan says. “Going back to the decision not to move the school to the
22 | CARE FOR THE PREP
suburbs after the fire, the school has always done things to stay relevant. Everything Fr. Swope told us about the campaign is a continuation of that.” Kathy points out that both of their sons (Dan ’98 and Kevin ’00) did well in college and beyond. “They received a good education, went on to college, and earned PhDs, which I attribute to the Prep,” she says. “Our sons are very different but I think they both live up to the ideal of being ‘Men for Others.’ I attribute that to the Prep.” Dan agrees, remembering another comment that he heard at that Open House, “Former president Fr. David Sauter talked about how when astronauts were first sent to the moon, their trajectory was set so that they would emerge from the dark side without crashing,” Dan says. “The Prep’s job is to set each student’s trajectory so that when they go out of communication, they will return as caring, productive individuals. I have never forgotten that.”
ENABLING THE PREP TO SHINE EVEN MORE
Carol and David Sponseller P ’21 Three years have flown by for Carol and David Sponseller, who have seen their son, Daniel, thrive during his time as a Prep student. In gratitude, the couple has made a contribution to the For Others Forever Campaign in support of the transformation of the Prep’s campus. For the Sponsellers, the Prep’s location and mission have made a tremendous impact. “I remember Fr. Swope saying that it was important to hit the launch button for your son while he is still under your roof,” Carol says. “The fact that he comes into the city every day has helped him mature. He wouldn’t have gotten this at any other school.” The Prep’s commitment to service also gave Daniel a different perspective. During a service-learning course Daniel took, the group combined classroom instruction with service opportunities before presenting recommendations to City Council. David says that his son’s experiences were eye-opening. “These experiences have made Daniel a more aware and compassionate person.” The Sponsellers say that Daniel has been challenged inside and outside of the classroom, where he has
become active with the Cape and Sword Drama Society and started the Political Discussion Group. “When we were looking at the Prep, a friend told me about the importance of educating the whole person,” Carol says. “Students benefit from more than just the classroom; they are exposed to the real world. That has given Daniel the confidence to try new things.” The couple was attracted to the For Others Forever Campaign because of the transformations that the Prep will undertake. “Unfortunately, there are people who don’t take the time to find what is really important in a school,” Carol says. “I know students who would have been great additions to the community but weren’t able to get past the physical campus. We are supporting this campaign to help the Prep attract as many good students as possible. This capital campaign can make it shine even more than we already know it does.” As the couple sets off into their son’s final year at the Prep, they don’t want to see it end. “I wish we had more sons to send to the Prep,” David says.
