Dear Summit Community, Most students and parents are familiar with Summit’s mission statement, and many can recite it verbatim. However, most are not familiar with the set of words which we call our “Purpose.” That’s because we use this statement internally. It’s directed to the employees of the school. Our purpose is to partner with each family to educate each child in a way that produces measureable growth toward fulfilling his or her God-given potential. The words in this statement were chosen carefully and reflect our beliefs about the best way to educate children. For me, the key word in this statement is “partnership.” When parents enroll their child at The Summit, they enter into a long term relationship with the school. The school commits its best efforts to know, understand, educate, and love the child. The parent buys in to the school’s mission, agrees to support the school and its teachers, and proactively reinforces at home the lessons taught at school. Dropping off a child at The Summit is not like dropping off clothes at the dry cleaner: the clothes come back clean and pressed, and the dry cleaner is paid for the service. The school/parent relationship goes much deeper. It’s a moral, fundamental, and profound relationship – not just transactional. Like the relationship between two partners in a business or a husband and wife in a marriage, a partnership works best when both parties live by the same principles and values, both agree on long term goals, and both work hard to apply their individual talents to achieve those goals. When misalignments emerge, problems are sure to follow. The school strongly discourages use of illegal drugs and alcohol. If the parents are permissive in these areas, the child gets confused. If parents allow the child to skip a day of school or arrive perpetually late, it says to the child that school isn’t that important. Faith formation plays a prominent role in a Summit education. Parents who verbalize at home that this aspect of school is unimportant implicitly undermine what goes on at school. What’s taught at school becomes ways of living at school but not ways of living in life. By the same token, when the school isn’t proactive in diagnosing a child’s learning issues, the student and parents become frustrated at slow progress. If the child’s advisor or teacher doesn’t communicate frequently and effectively with the student and the parent, there is a lost opportunity in developing that child to the fullest. On each child’s dashboard, there is a goals section which the middle and upper school students are encouraged to fill in and review each year. This is the perfect time for student, parent and advisor to agree on the most important opportunities that all parties should address in the coming year. It’s an ideal way to ensure misalignments don’t crop up in the partnership. The educational directors and I are working with our teachers to continually improve performance on our half of the partnership. Summit teachers have attended professional development conferences, read books on differentiated instruction, and participated in in-service day discussions on how we can better understand each child so we can deliver to that child the education that will best develop him or her. In fact, this past summer the entire faculty read Eric Jensen’s Teaching with the Brain in Mind, which outlines the latest brain research conducted on children and suggests ways to apply that knowledge in the classroom to improve instruction. One of the key messages is that children’s brains develop differently and at different rates. Education has to account for that. Many of the articles in this annual report further explain how Summit teachers hone their skills at understanding, engaging, and encouraging each student. Continually working to improve this partnership for the benefit of each and every child is a key element of The Summit Way. Sincerely,
Rich Wilson Interim Head of School

Dear Members of The Summit Community, As I stood at the front of the chapel at graduation in May and shook the hands of seniors who had accomplished so much and won so many scholarships, I was filled with pride at the superb “product” The Summit produces. These great “results” don’t happen by accident. Our leadership is strong, our finances are in better shape than in recent memory, our volunteer base is solid and dedicated, and most importantly, our execution of The Summit Mission is outstanding. • Rich Wilson has done a superb job in picking up the reins as Head of School. He energized our faculty, staff, and administration through the time honored practice of listening, communicating, and leading. He has engaged our community in what he calls “The Summit Way,” which relies on our core ideologies of faith, personalization, high expectations and innovation. In short, Rich has brought focus, strength, and leadership to the Head of School position. We are fortunate to have him. • The Summit is an outstanding place for many reasons, and volunteerism is certainly high on the list. It is inspiring to look at the number of people who dedicate a portion of their free time in the service of our school. These include athletic coaches in the lower grades, The Summit Parent’s Association, Boosters, grade level room parents, The Spirit Shop workers, Annual Fund callers, Auction volunteers, Alumni Board, Admissions Ambassadors, and volunteers at numerous special events like Fall Festival, Boutique Noel, Multicultural Festival, and the Fashion Show. The names are too many to list, but the number is easily in the hundreds! I would, however, like to highlight the work of Julie and Chip Klosterman ’80, who did a fantastic job as chairs of our Annual Fund. Despite the economic head winds of the past year, we exceeded our goal of $725,000 by raising over $740,000, with stronger parent and faculty participation. Thank you to all the volunteers who commit time and talent to the school. The Summit is a better place because of your efforts. • The mission of The Summit is to challenge and develop every student, faculty and staff member spiritually, academically, physically, socially, and artistically. Through our recent parent survey and our re-enrollment numbers, you have spoken clearly and loudly that we are achieving our mission. I would like to thank all of our faculty and staff for their work and dedication. They are a wonderful collection of individuals who care deeply about children and their development. We will, however, not stand still and admire our results. Our future success depends upon continued learning, and we will continue to invest in people, infrastructure, and ideas. My first year as Chair has been a rewarding one, but it would not have been a success without the help of my fellow Trustees. As the year draws to a close, we lose six talented and caring people: Father Seher (who will remain our beloved Chaplain), Tonya Warren, Todd Cooper, Willie Carden, Betsy Schmidt, and Rich Wilson. Their accomplishments and leadership will be missed. As they leave, the Board will welcome five new Trustees this summer. They are Father John Civille, Suzanne Tosolini, Teri List, Karl Gieseke and Kate Nelson. While they have big shoes to fill, these men and women will add significant skill and perspective to the Board. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve you and The Summit. As you can tell from this letter, I am excited about the future of the school and look forward to an even more successful 2010-2011 school year. Sincerely,
Nick Ragland Chair, The Summit Board of Trustees

Understanding Each Child I will never forget the neatest thing I ever saw in a classroom anywhere. It was a project called “Operation Montserrat” in Michael DiPaolo’s Middle School science class a few years back. The students were connected to a live satellite feed with scientists from The Challenger Learning Center and we all watched the action on a big screen in the front of the room. The classroom activity was based on a real event when a volcano had formed on the beautiful island of Montserrat. As flaming lava began spewing down the mountain, people on the island learned that a hurricane was also approaching. It was the perfect storm.
enough grace and confidence to run for the Senate. Frankly, I had never heard the word “pedagogy” at the time and had no idea if this was called differentiated learning, personalized instruction or 21st century skills. I just knew that The Summit was a special place where teachers bent over backwards to bring learning to life in such engaging ways that I have often wished I could go from class to class all day long.
The students’ task that day was to relive that journey with scientists on the satellite feed and to do whatever it took to help them protect the men, women, and children on the island. Our students formed different emergency response teams to manage every aspect of the evacuation – tracking the hurricane’s path, monitoring the effects of the incoming storm, and evacuating the residents. In pursuit of the mission, they performed vital calculations and predictions. As new data emerged they worked hard and runners fed information to several rotating young women who assumed the job of communication with mission control. They brainstormed, collaborated, tried new ideas and pushed each other. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
Heaven knows I’d like to attend every session of the 4th grade Hero project. What fun it would be to spend quality time reflecting on all the things that propel ordinary people to greatness. I’d like telling the story of my own hero, sewing the puppet, bringing it to church for a blessing, and doing my part in the wrap-up video that I could share with my family. And I would love to attend Brenda DelFavero’s Language Arts class where I’ve seen so many interesting things like the time students were learning to take complex data, turn it inside out and present it in the kind of clear and creative ways that would earn them a “A” in a performance review for any P&G marketing manager.
Through it all the young women at the control desk calmly worked with scientists on the big screen, similar to the way air traffic controllers behave when a plane is about to crash. I imagined these girls as seniors, leaving The Summit with 4
Brain compatible learning means we often weave academics, social skills, role play and physical education together. Spanish teacher Yngrid Thurston does this by introducing students to native dance. Dance also keeps energy levels up and provides the brain with oxygen-rich blood needed for highest performance.

I see all this and wonder how far we’ve come from the days when I was in school, and we sat in rows of desks listening to an all-knowing teacher dispense knowledge in lecture after lecture, never questioning the “one size fits all” method of teaching that was the rule of the day. In the last five years I’ve come to learn that Summit’s method of teaching doesn’t just happen. It is rooted in an unwavering dedication to our mission as a Catholic school where we are all held accountable for treating each child with dignity, learning what makes each one tick and staying on top of the latest developments in scientific research about how children learn best. Professional development is ongoing and mandatory. Today’s education research confirms beyond any doubt that not all students learn at the same pace or with the same approach. Some people learn best when they see information, others learn best when they hear it, and others when they are doing hands-on experiments with trial and error. Some people learn at a faster pace; others need more time. Some are distracted when trying to learn in a noisy environment and others get energy from it. Each one assimilates information according to his or her own learning style, need, and interest. Motivation to learn varies significantly from student to student on any given day and we need to find ways to make that work for and not against us. Teaching techniques such as the open-ended question, brainstorming, and learning in groups enable students to recognize and acknowledge their own intellectual and personal strengths and also those within the group. Finally, we know that the optimal learning environment is one where parents are involved in the learning process and they know how to work together to enhance what happens in the classroom. Ultimately, we want to support and challenge students to go beyond their inherent capabilities, to learn perseverance, and to develop respect for their individual strengths as well as those of their classmates.

For tactile/kinesthetic learners Middle School math teacher Kristin Lovell tapes numbers on the floor. For negative numbers kids walk backwards and for positives they go forward. With three simple motions they learn to solve any problem on the numbers line. Once they learn it this way they are able to do it in a more traditional way.

I’m sure my own teachers had high expectations and good intentions when they told us to sit still and pay attention while they lectured and tested. What’s different today is the knowledge we have about how children learn and what skills they will need to meet the challenges of tomorrow. In the pages that follow you see many examples of how this learning plays out in our classrooms today. It’s exciting. It works. It’s The Summit Way. — Carol Boyd
Tailoring Instruction in the Lower School “Differentiated instruction” generally refers to fine-tuning how subjects are taught to accommodate the specific needs of each student. In first through fourth grades at The Summit, the concept has been finely honed into real-life practices that are observable and measurable. As a case in point, Lower School teachers last summer rewrote the entire math curriculum so specifically that a teacher can gauge what each child knows about specific strands of each unit of the curriculum through pre- and post-assessment testing. Similar testing already was in place for the school’s Guided Reading Program. Summit-style personalized instruction also takes into account each student’s learning style and interests so teachers can tailor how information in the curriculum is presented to each child.
Students are tested before each unit of the curriculum to determine what they know, and what they don’t know. From those test results, Mrs. Wojcik adjusts her lesson plans. If everyone understands a concept, she minimizes her presentation of it. She prepares whole-class lessons on concepts everybody missed and divides the class into small groups to study the topics they do not yet understand. Students who show they know all the material go on to enrichment activities. Students who need extra help get it from Mrs. Wojcik, Math Specialist Julia Almaguer or Reading Coach Stephanie Duggan. The composition of the small groups of students changes throughout the presentation of the strands of each unit because the children miss different questions in the assessment tests.
Testing is the beginning of understanding how to teach to each child, says Lower School Director Terry Malone. “But where the rubber meets the road is where you can walk to every classroom and see this going on. That’s what’s special. This is what we do. This is our life. This is bestpractice education.”
“Testing is a starting point,” says Mrs. Wojcik. “You still have to have a lot of teacher input to make sure they understand the material and, if they don’t understand it, review it.” Beyond testing, Mrs. Wojcik takes into account her student’s various learning styles and adjusts how she presents each lesson to accommodate visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners. What’s more, she and the math and reading experts make note of the students’ interests and incorporate them into their lessons and activities to keep the students engaged and motivated.
A look at the spreadsheets that self-confessed “data junkie” Nancy Wojcik uses to plan her second-grade lessons shows just how much detail goes into planning Summit-style teaching. The curriculum in math and reading has been broken down into units. Each unit is made up of specific parts. Assessment tests have been developed to determine whether a student knows each unit in the curriculum. Pre- and post-assessment tests are identical. 7
Teachers who know their students well enough can incorporate their interests into the lessons to make them more relevant to each student.
Assessment tests and experience of learning-style trained teachers pinpoint how each child learns best. “We assess the kids in multiple, different ways and I take all the data from the assessments and figure out at what age and grade levels they are performing with their reading and then tailor their instruction,” says Mrs. Duggan.
involving time and sports that he could do on his own to take his understanding to a higher level while the rest of the class studied the unit. Another child, who happens to be a verbal, visual and kinesthetic learner interested in art, was struggling. Because Mrs. Wojcik has an assistant in her room, she was able to spend time one-on-one with the girl helping her manipulate the instructional clock and drawing pictures to reinforce the idea of elapsed time. In both cases, she talked to parents about how they can reinforce at home what is happening in the classroom and understand their children’s learning styles.
As children grow older, they adapt to their learning styles and understand how they need to get information to retain it, Mrs. Wojcik says. At the Primary School level, however, teachers need to build their confidence and teach them to see their learning styles as strengths and use them.
Rewriting the math curriculum was a rigorous process that involved the teaching staff, experts outside the school and research into best practices and standards that go beyond those of the state and standardized tests, says Mr. Malone. The standards mirror ones already established for reading. “We created Summit standards that we believe are world class.” As a result, teachers in the Lower School can show how they are putting The Summit’s style of individualized instruction into practice at any given moment. “They can pull out their teacher grade book and show you where children are and what they’re doing about it.”
Making a connection with each individual student is critical to the process because it helps motivate the student to do his or her best, says Mrs. Almaguer. Teachers who know their students well enough can incorporate their interests into the lessons to make them more relevant to each student. “If they realize they are truly appreciated, they’ll give me their best,” she says. “I think they feel safer. They’re more willing to take academic risk if they know they are appreciated and they know they are supported.” Mrs. Wojcik illustrates how these three concepts – assessment testing, learning styles and personal interests – play out in her classroom. A problem on the math assessment test was about elapsed time: A girl starts playing soccer at 1 p.m. Practice ends at 3:15 p.m. How long was practice?
— Nancy Berlier
Abstract learners can figure out the answer in their head. An auditory learner may need to sound it out. A visual learner may need to draw pictures that show time passing – like a picture of the student before and after practice. A kinesthetic learner needs to manipulate the hands of an instructional clock to count the passage of time. Two children in the class had special issues. One child is an abstract learner who understood the time unit at a higher level than the second grade curriculum. He is also a very active child who is apt to get restless in class when he is bored. And he is a sports enthusiast. Mrs. Wojcik found online activities 8

21st Century Skills in the Classroom The sunny, peaceful classroom is an oasis of focused activity. Every student is immersed in small group problem-solving, eagerly consulting one another in a volume just above a whisper. Equipment, computers, guides and other resources are positioned around the room. The teacher moves quietly from group to group, sometimes keenly observing, sometimes gently redirecting the dialogue.
and give them the information. I could teach to the test. But research studies have shown that long-term retention occurs when students work through the issues and come to the conclusions themselves.”
Any parent of a Summit Montessori kindergartener would be familiar with this scenario. However, this exercise is occurring in an Upper School college prep physics room.
Small group and student-led discussions also facilitate different learning styles, accentuate the value of multiple intelligence and foster critical thinking skills. Only 10% of the population’s optimal learning style fits the traditional model of teacher/lecturer and student/listener. “There is more than one way to be smart,” says Upper School Science teacher, Eric Towers. Howard Gardner identifies seven types of intelligence: spatial, linguistic, logical, kinesthetic, rhythmic, interpersonal and intrapersonal. Education research has shown that people construct neural scaffolding to place information. They modify and build that framework in their minds as they encounter new knowledge. Teaching to a student’s strengths optimizes their ability to grasp and maintain subsequent learnings.
“I try to provide opportunities for the students to speak with each other about science. When learning something new, just formulating the right question takes knowledge,” says Upper School Science teacher, Martin Wells. “Peer teaching allows students to ask questions that they might never approach in the larger classroom. And the students learn by explaining concepts to each other. There is some social interaction, but it is worth the trade-off. I don’t want to be the only voice in the room for 70 minutes.” Mr. Wells’ favorite time in the classroom is after he’s gotten a good question. “I love to hear the students talking physics. They offer different opinions and then have to support what they say with empirical evidence and facts.”
Mr. Towers is so intent on addressing the needs of the learner that he gives his new students a Multiple Intelligence Test and a How You Learn survey at the beginning of the school year. Students and one of their parents work through the test at home. Mr. Towers keeps an Excel spreadsheet of the results

using it as a guide for the year’s work. “It’s not just a matter of studying more. What kinds of study are most effective for this student?” To complete their Physics vocabulary homework, for example, students may write down definitions, draw pictures and graphs or create computer simulations depending on their learning style. “You can find ways to make learning fun without diluting the rigor.”
with complementary skill sets. “They know their strengths and recognize that they need to find people who excel at other tasks to complete the project successfully,” he said. Megan Peaslee, Meggie O’Brien and Lauren Miller employed that approach to win the city-wide ABC Green Design competition. The teams’ charge was to increase the sustainability of an existing Cincinnati building utilizing existing resources whenever possible, while still honoring the architecture of the structure. Their comprehensive design to rehabilitate the Over-the-Rhine historic brewery that suffered a recent fire into The Moerlein Apartment Complex & Recreation Center took a gold. “Each of us chose a part of the project as our focus,” said Megan. “Then when we met we would consolidate our findings and pull together all of our ideas.”
Differentiated instruction may mean audio textbooks, employing Slinkies to understand sound and light waves, or asking students to devise their own procedures to predict the speed and force of a ball in motion. Junior Grace NeCastro’s standout memory of Physics class was lying on a bed of nails under another bed of nails with a fellow student standing on top. “It didn’t hurt at all!” says Grace. “The nails evenly distributed the weight.”
“I loved this project!” says Mr. Towers. “The team toured downtown to choose the optimal building. They figured out how to gather rainwater from the roof for the residents to use and produce electricity on site. They created a space that was useful to a community in great socioeconomic need. They took everything that they had learned up to this point and applied it in a meaningful way!”
Grace also enjoyed the weekly labs. “Your lab group was always different. Some weeks we picked our group and some weeks Mr. Wells chose them. If you were in a good group that worked well together, you were able to figure things out a lot faster.” Those group projects allow the students to appreciate strengths in each other. “I work very hard to equip my students with the intellectual dexterity necessary in a global economy,” said Mr. Towers, a successful engineering manager, now Upper School science teacher and strong advocate of group exercises. “There are always students who choose to work only with their friends.” But by the middle of the year, many of his students have learned to choose a team of people
As the Green Design competition indicates, an appreciation and understanding of multiple intelligence may incur benefits beyond the classroom. Much of the project work in Mr. Towers’ engineering class simulates 21st century real-world experiences. Team-building, communication and leadership skills may be hard to negotiate at any age. Learning to work with people who are different from you can be challenging.
“Here is the explanation for the bed of nails: if there is too much force on a nail, it will puncture the skin. I lie down on the board of nails, put another board of nails on top of me, and then have a student stand on the board. Or I may have the student lie on one bed. Because there are hundreds of nails in contact, there is not enough force on any individual nail to puncture the skin. Take, for example, a student who is 150 lbs. If all their weight was on one nail, it would be quite dangerous. If their weight is distributed over 150 nails, however, each nail only has one pound of force, which is not enough to puncture the skin. (It is still a bit uncomfortable.)” - Mr. Wells

So can working with people who have the same skills. On occasion, Mr. Towers has deliberately assembled a group of leaders for a project. “All of them want to take charge. It takes them a while to figure out that in order to get anything accomplished, some of them will need to be followers.” He has also chosen a group of students who exhibit introspective intelligence - they may take 15 minutes just watching each other before getting started. ”My job during that time is just to walk around, observe and listen. I may ask a Socratic question.” Engineering students gain valuable experience navigating group dynamics and critical thinking while engaged in purposeful work. “As a scientist,” says Mr. Towers, “I am aware that knowledge is always advancing, usually in small steps. So I am always reading the latest research on the brain and education. And over the years, I have completely changed the way I teach. I’ve learned to diversify how material is presented in the classroom to honor different learners.” Upper School Science teacher, Deena Carey, investigates the latest appropriate technological applications for the classroom. “To be effective as a teacher, you have to step outside of your comfort zone. How does the student want to receive information? You have to be sensitive to the fact that the teaching environment is always changing.” Next year, Mr. Towers is employing new software that will pre-test a student’s knowledge before a unit is studied. Rather than revisiting concepts that they already know, students who have mastered the material will have an opportunity to enrich their comprehension with independent work in that unit.
21st century workplace. Throughout its history, The Summit has demonstrated its willingness to innovate and remain relevant while still honoring its traditions. The Upper School teachers’ decision to incorporate findings from the new research in multiple intelligence into their curriculum is just one example of this practice.
An appreciation for different learning styles can give the student tools to learn better and smarter. That knowledge informs the teamwork, problem-solving and leadership skills that have been identified by thought leaders as vital in the
Is Upper School Science sounding more and more like Montessori? Current brain research supports her methodology. “Maria Montessori had a lot of things right!” says Mr. Towers. — Nancy Van Epps

McKENZIE SARGENT DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD RECIPIENT
Edward F. “Hap” Castleberry SBS ’46
Edward F. “Hap” Castleberry SBS ‘46 has set a standard for generosity of time and treasure, thoughtfulness in leadership, and dedication to The Summit and the community beyond its halls, says Board of Trustees Chairman H. Nicholas Ragland IV BMS ‘83.
A tennis enthusiast, Mr. Castleberry at one time was ranked 14th nationally in 65 and over Men’s Doubles. He hails from a four-generation Summit family which began with his mother, Constance (Alf) Castleberry ‘20. Daughters Anne ’75, Bizzy ’82 and Christine ’89, as well as son, Kelly BMS ’74, went to school here. As of this fall, Mr. Castleberry will have three grandchildren enrolled here -- Lily Lippert and twins Holland and Trey Lippert.
“His service to the city of Cincinnati in support of youth, education and community development has made an immeasurable impact on our city,” Mr. Ragland says. “He is well respected as a successful business executive, entrepreneur and civic leader.” Mr. Castleberry was given the McKenzie-Sargent Distinguished Alumni Award during the May 30 graduation ceremony for the Class of 2010, where he delivered the commencement address. The award is given annually to an alumnus for breadth and depth of service to the school and community. Mr. Castleberry and his wife, Susan, created the Castleberry Family Fund in 2005 which endows a scholarship for a needy student in grades 1-8. Now a member of the Xavier University Business Hall of Fame, Mr. Castleberry has been involved in the acquisition, management and sale of many local businesses. His civic interest has focused on youth, entrepreneurship and economic education and development. He was a founder and chairman of the Greater Cincinnati Business Hall of Fame and a founder of the Greater Cincinnati Venture Association. He has chaired the Cincinnati Citizen’s Committee on Youth, Cincinnati Chapter of the World’s President Organization, Junior Achievement of Greater Cincinnati and Greater Cincinnati Center for Economic Education and Research. He also served as director of the Ohio State Development Corp. and was trustee of the Xavier University Entrepreneurship Center.
Daughter Christine (Castleberry) Lippert ’89 wrote one of the petitions nominating Mr. Castleberry for the McKenzieSargent award. She said: “I believe my father is a man of great character and significant accomplishments that represent an excellent example of Summit’s legacy for future generations of graduates to follow.” 30
2010 SCHILDERINK FAMILY FACULTY CHAIR FOR DISTINGUISHED TEACHING
Helen C. Clark
Third grade teacher Helen C. Clark punctuates her sentences with laughter and is fond of saying, “Let me break it down for you,” before explaining an abstract concept in detail. When teachers, parents and staff break down what makes Mrs. Clark special, they say she has a gift for making every student feel valued.
Over the years, Mrs. Clark has become skilled in understanding her children so well that she can read the degree of their smiles and conviction in their voices. “I am able to get to know the children as people – not as a compendium of strengths or weaknesses, but as people,” she says. “Who they are. What they’re about. And in that, I think children know that they are heard, that they are cared about, that they are appreciated. All of those things are part of the foundation. I think that’s what comes first and then the academic piece grows from that.”
“Every interaction we have had leaves us with the feeling that our son is in the hands of someone very special,” said Anne Bergeron. Mrs. Bergeron and her husband Mike, a member of The Summit Board of Trustees, have three children here – Jack, a fourth grader, Kate, a second grader and Nick, a Montessori student.
A proud four-time grandparent, Mrs. Clark has two children who are Summit grads, Karen Blake ’90 and Stephen Clark ’94. She says she is thankful for the support and kindness given her, her husband Keith, and her children by colleagues, parents and students during her tenure.
Mrs. Clark creates a perfect world in the classroom, said Monica Desch ’90, an Upper School Spanish teacher and parent of Luke, a fourth grader, and Grant, a Montessori pupil. “The kids are excited, but more importantly, they are truly loved and respected. It is the love and respect given to each and every child that inspires them to be the best and helps them to be the most successful versions of themselves.”
“Summit is not just a school. Summit is not just a job,” she says. “Summit is a community.”
Interim Head of School Rich Wilson presented the 2010 Schilderink Family Faculty Chair for Distinguished Teaching to Mrs. Clark ceremoniously at the end-of-year faculty/staff recognition dinner on June 1. The award was established in 1989 by Ray Schilderink SBS ’64 and his family to recognize educators for excellence in teaching and bringing value to The Summit. Mrs. Clark has been at The Summit for 23 of her 25 years as a teacher. Her goal every year is the same, to send each child to the next grade as “a student who finds joy and excitement in learning and a child who can articulate his or her thinking.” Growing up in Queens, Mrs. Clark comes from a family of lawyers and psychologists. She credits her close and loving family with valuing education and supporting what she sees as her vocation. “I think the genetic piece that makes a psychologist good at what they do is what lets me know children, and the part that makes the lawyers logical and clear is the part that lets me teach,” she said.

NATE GUSTAFSON ACCEPTED AT WEST POINT ACADEMY by Alex Reed
“I AM ALWAYS A STRIVING PERSON OF DISCIPLINE, HONOR AND HARD WORK who is valued for his virtues and friendships. I
who have accomplishments in many different areas. Getting recommendations from teachers was Nate’s next move on his road to West Point. After receiving three recommendations, Nate was required to submit three essays about different aspects of why he wanted to attend West Point, from how he would serve as a great officer in a culturally adverse Army to challenges he was expecting to face. He also had to perform and pass a physical requirement for the Academy, also known as the Candidate Fitness Assessment, which included five consecutive tasks: basketball throw, pull-ups, sit-ups, push-ups and a one mile run.
want to take everything that I have learned, all of my life’s experiences and use them to serve a country that has given me so much,” said Nate Gustafson, a Summit senior who recently was accepted to West Point Military Academy. Gustafson, an accomplished lacrosse player for The Summit Country Day School began his dream of becoming a military icon several years ago. His interest in a service academy began his sophomore year when he attended a US Air Force Academy informational meeting at school. From that initial interest his quest has been to find out what military life was all about and discover the life style first hand by enrolling at Fork Union Military Academy in Fork Union, Virginia. “For the seven months I was there, I learned how to march, shine my shoes, prepare for both personal and room inspections, salute my superiors and many more basic military concepts.
After completing the application to West Point, Nate also had to receive a nomination from either the Vice President, one of the Ohio Senators, or his Congresswoman. These separate letters of recommendations generally involve academic forms, which included grades and test scores, essays and many forms from Nate’s Upper School Director, Dr. Pat White and The Summit admissions department. The last part in Nate’s journey to West Point was gaining acceptance to the Academy. “The hardest part is that even if you have a nomination, you aren’t accepted. You still have to go through the admissions process just like any other college.” Luckily for Nate, he was a recruited athlete and was accepted thanks to the hard work of his lacrosse coaches.
Some of the meaningless tasks Gustafson was required to do taught him many aspects of discipline, hard work and respect that were the real lessons he discovered. “Through shining my shoes I learned the discipline and honor it takes to keep up a personal appearance and through preparations for room inspections I learned to value the things I had.”
“Nothing that I have accomplished could have been possible without the help of many people in my life. The support system that I have is incredible, and people’s willingness to help me succeed is the key factor to my success.”
Nate’s next big step in his dream was to go through the long process that involved many people and lots of time to gain acceptance to the prestigious academy. He first contacted West Point and explained who he was and completed the application packet on their online application center. The Academy looks for students who are very well rounded, and
Nate is now at West Point and is very happy to see years of hard work beginning to pay off.

Seedling Program
Fosters Strong Roots & Growth Anyone who has ever played with building blocks learns quickly that no structure will stand on a shaky foundation. The placement of each piece directly impacts another - and it’s those relationships that will sustain or defeat the project. The same holds true for most things in life; those who seek strong connections are able to make the most positive impact for themselves and, more importantly, for others in need.
Clockwise: Mary Beth (Doyle) Vollmer’94, Dr. Pat White, Lois Doyle, and Dennis Doyle 34
The Summit has a long tradition based on connectivity and partnerships and none will be more apparent than the Doyle family’s Seedling Program which, to date, has been the springboard for 55 scholarships among Cincinnati area’s Catholic secondary schools. Dennis and Lois Doyle have an extremely strong bond with the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and a passion for the family values and academic rigor that are hallmarks of founder St. Julie Billiart’s mission.
forward,” Doyle said. “This gives them a basis to begin a scholarship and then have it grow into an endowment.” The Summit’s seedling program has initiated scholarships to honor Mary Foss Brinkmeyer ‘67, Marc Bohlke, the Ragland family and most recently, Farrell Ackley, beloved teacher, mentor and coach who died this spring (see following page). The Doyles view their commitment as a method to give back to a community which has instilled such important values and they are anxious to share the experience. In 2002 they made a million dollar gift to the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and solicited five additional family foundations to join them to create scholarship programs for graduates of the innercity’s eight grammar schools. Every year this group selects and provides partial scholarships to area Catholic high schools, including The Summit, for 40 students. Usually the balance is paid by the schools and other charitable donations, opening the door for many families who couldn’t afford the education.
Among the first scholarships created were two at Mount Notre Dame High School in Reading to honor Dennis’ mother and sister who attended St. Joseph’s Academy in Columbus, also founded by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. “My mother was a big fan of the sisters and stayed in touch throughout the years (before her death three years ago at age 92), with those who taught her and her classmates,” noted Mr. Doyle. The family’s involvement at Summit spans a few generations. His brother, Ed drove a Summit school bus while a student at Xavier University. The Doyle’s only daughter, Mary Beth, is a Summit 1994 alumnae and married to Griff Vollmer, who attended the Boy’s Middle School. Mrs. Doyle’s sister is Dr. Pat White, Director of the Upper School and a former Sister of Notre Dame. “Now that’s a lot of interconnectedness, which is not unusual for Summit,” he added. “In my view what Lois and I have done and would like to do at The Summit is really influenced by all of these relationships.”
“Many of these schools are in the old traditional neighborhoods that are now predominately minority residents,“ said Doyle. The Archdiocese keeps these schools afloat so that many Catholic and non-Catholic students can also benefit from classic value-centered teaching. “Public schools cannot be biblically based, which doesn’t help young people in today’s society which has so many negative influences,” he said. “The Catholic schools offer them a chance to be in schools with other students that share their same ideals.”
Direct links aside, The Summit is a perfect candidate for the Seedling Program because of its close relationships with students. Doyle pointed out the close bond between teachers and students, small class sizes, devotion to individual student needs and gifts, and perpetuating the values of the Sisters as key ingredients to inspiring sustainable endowment programs.
The Doyles lead incredibly active “retirement” lives, spending time visiting their children across the country and abroad, and working on the scholarship and other service programs. Mrs. Doyle has been active for nearly 20 years on the Board of Advisors for the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing and has chaired the Annual Florence Nightingale dinner. She has also served on the boards of Mount Notre Dame High School and Pro Seniors.
The Seedling Program is a starter kit for area Catholic high school development professionals to identify people who have the interests and the means of endowing a scholarship fund. The family then donates to this newly created scholarship and invites prospective donors to join them in matching funds.
Dennis was a partner in the law firm of Keating, Muething and Klekamp prior to joining Chiquita Brands International where he held a number of senior executive positions and served as chief operating officer.

eople may argue with Thomas Jefferson’s opinion that nothing is worse than a weak mind. The late Mr. Farrell Ackley, though a fervent Jeffersonian, would have welcomed that discourse. He would passionately defend the right to oppose, question, decipher and deliberate. Those who shared time with him in the classroom or on the field said that he had no tolerance for detachment; no room for passive existence. “Across six decades and two centuries Mr. Ackley dedicated himself to teaching the young the history of their country and the workings of their government,” said Pat Kelly, Upper School English Teacher. “Never cynical about the worlds of power and politics, he knew all the flaws but still believed in the possibilities of our republic and our constitution.“
Farrell Ackley 1941-2010
His death last spring sent waves of high emotions and tributes, resounding throughout Summit’s community, past and present. “His death leaves us bereft of his presence but not of his passion and his wisdom, for they live on in his students and his colleagues,” said Mr. Kelly. “On election days students always told Mr. Ackley proudly that they had voted, even if it was to cancel his vote. Disagreement was welcome, disengagement was not. In Mr. Ackley’s class you had to care about history and you had to care about government and you had better care about Jefferson.” His legacy to stay engaged is celebrated in the newly formed scholarship in his honor. Part of the Seedling Program that seeks to establish 100 endowments among Cincinnati area Catholic schools, the Farrell Ackley Memorial Scholarship has begun with a generous matching fund series by seedling founders Dennis and Lois Doyle, and Mrs. Doyle’s sister, US Director Dr. Patricia White. Mr. Ackley began his Summit career in 1972 as the Dean of the Boys Upper School, and is given majority credit for establishing many of its customs. “Just about all that you see in the Upper School in regard to school colors, mascot, name…Silver Knights... was established by Farrell and the first group of boys,” said Ed Tyrrell, former Head of School, “I think there were 17 in total. He coached every team – started the Boosters, established a dinner every year for the boys’ parents – created a work/study for boys so that they could earn money to help pay for their tuition - he made the Boys Upper School happen!” At the funeral mass in The Summit’s Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel, Mr. Ackley’s son Matt ’86 spoke of his father’s enduring contribution, his love of The Summit and his belief that minds need to be constantly nourished by knowledge. He was a voracious reader, and “on a first name basis” with several area librarians. “He was first and foremost an educator,” said Matt, adding that he brought the same intensity to coaching as he did to teaching. His son noted that his dad was among the first to introduce an academic approach to football, using computer generated tendencies for game planning - joking that Summit’s play books were thicker than the textbooks from their rival schools.
from 1973 Rostrum
As a point of honor and respect for Summit’s iconic teacher and mentor, and his military service, the school had their flag hung at half-staff. Mr. Kelly commented at that time on the deep symbolism and appropriateness of this action, and issued a challenge. “We will always miss Farrell Ackley, and we fly the flag at half-staff to honor him in these sad days. Soon the flag will be proudly at the top of the pole again, and the task will be left to us to be worthy of that flag, to be worthy of once having been a student and colleague of The Summit’s great patriot, Farrell Ackley.” To donate to the memorial scholarship fund, contact The Summit or visit the link on Summit’s website. — Lisa Eccles 36
Computerized test will guard athletes from multiple concussions

The athletic department at The Summit Country Day School will use computerized cognitive tests to guard students from multiple head injuries this fall. Thanks to a donation from The Summit Athletic Boosters, the Immediate Post Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Test (ImPACT) establishes a baseline for the cognitive ability of each student. ImPACT software was developed at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Sports Concussion Program and is used by Major League Baseball, the National Football League, National Hockey League and National Basketball Association.
time to one hundredth of a second, concentration and the brain’s memory processing speed as a player becomes fatigued. If a student is suspected of having a concussion, the test is given again. A comparison of the pre- and post-injury data and repeated testing can help determine the extent of injury and help assess when a student can safely return to contact sports. While a student athlete can recover from one concussion, returning to play too soon is risky and multiple concussions require longer recovery periods, according to the Concussion Clinic at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Westerville, OH.
Student athletes in all sports from fifth through 12th grades are being offered the test but are not required to take it, says Amber Gerken, the TriHealth Athletic trainer at The Summit. Ms. Gerken especially recommends the test for students in contact sports where head injuries are more common. “This is another tool to be used in our head injury tool box but it isn’t the sole determining factor of return to play. I will still look at balance and hand-eye coordination and things like that, which this test won’t tell. We get to know these kids really well. If kids are not acting like themselves, but can pass this test, that’s going to make me question whether they are really ready to return to play.”
Head injuries have been an issue, not just at The Summit, but at high schools across the country, says Athletic Director Gregory Dennis. “Without the baseline, a lot of kids are going into competition before they’re ready. Instead of being healed, they are getting worse. By having that mechanism, along with the other mechanisms we have in place, we are more assured that our kids are not going back into competition until they’re ready.” Funding for ImPACT is part of the funding Boosters have earmarked for safety in the coming year. Other funds are also going to purchase new wall pads for Flannery and Holmes and new helmets for lacrosse and football.

Cash Flow Results (000’s except for enrollment)
From a financial perspective, the economy of fiscal 2009-2010 continued to be challenging for many of our families. We were sensitive to the challenges with careful management of costs, tuition levels and affordability initiatives. Despite the difficult external environment, we navigated the financial headwinds, and 2009-2010 was one of our most successful in terms of continuing to improve the school’s financial stability.
2008-09 2009-10 Enrollment 1,101 1,087 INCOMING OPERATING CASH: Student revenue (net) $13,866 $13,652 Giving and other revenue 2,670 2,507 Total Incoming Cash 16,536 16,159 OUTGOING OPERATING CASH 16,604 15,889 CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS $(68) $270
Operating Cash Flow The Summit’s operating cash flow for 2009-2010 continued to improve dramatically. The most important driver of success was relatively stable enrollment. As expected, we lost some students from the prior year but the decline was much smaller than it could have been in such a challenging economy. The hard work of our Admissions team and an intense focus on managing retention and affordability generated enrollment levels that allowed net student revenue to remain fairly stable. This is especially important because, being mindful of the challenges many of our families faced in a difficult economy, we continued to manage tuition increases to historically-low levels. As we’ve written in the past, annual operating budget success is dependent predominantly on enrollment. Attracting and retaining students across all grades is among our most important priorities.
ENDOWMENT Dividends and interest reinvested Non-cash investment returns TOTAL CHANGE IN ENDOWMENT VALUE
In 2009-2010 we also saw the benefit of carefully managing our expenses. Looking at a difficult and uncertain horizon at the close of fiscal 2008-2009, we implemented a number of cost and personnel reductions that were fully realized this year. As expected, those moves significantly improved our operating results without diminishing the high-quality experience that our families and students expect.

The School’s Financial Net Worth (000’s)
Endowment Fortunately, in March 2009, we saw the bottom of the decline in the financial markets and in the value of our endowment. The market value of our endowment is now growing again – up $2.0 million, or +10% during fiscal 2009-2010. As in the prior year, we were again able to avoid withdrawing any funds from the endowment because of the continuing improvement in operating cash flow and working capital management. While our endowment became more valuable, we also managed to reduce the school’s debt by $1.1 million. Overall, a very encouraging improvement in the Summit’s financial condition in one of the most difficult external environments in recent history.

Operating Expenses Administration 19%
Despite the financial successes of 2009-2010, we are cautiously heading into the new fiscal year. The difficult economy seems far from recovering, as do some of the challenges our families face. Enrollment for fiscal 2010-2011 (-1%) is less than could be expected. Though small, any decline in enrollment puts pressure on our operating cash flow. And, importantly, we recognize the need to invest in the School – talent, infrastructure, facilities, continuous improvement – to sustain the value proposition. We understand that we can’t simply cut spending year-after-year and still generate the high-quality product that parents expect.

THE ENDOWMENT FAMILY FUNDS
The Family Funds program provides an opportunity for donors to make gifts to important programs at The Summit and to honor family and friends through those gifts. These gifts, either expendable or endowed, sustain and enhance the school’s highest priorities for scholarships, faculty and student support, academic initiatives, and care of the school’s buildings and campus. They complement the Annual Fund which provides for daily operations, but they do not replace this very important effort.
Family Funds have been established by current parents, former parents, alumni and friends of The Summit. These endowed funds have been designated for various uses, notably student scholarship, campus beautification, faculty development and character education. The most common objective for Family Fund donors is to continue to grow the fund until it reaches the level of a Fully Endowed Fund, $100,000, which will support the designated objective in perpetuity, without diminishing the principle.

The Honorable Julia A. Stautberg was laid to rest on May 22, 2010 following a Mass of Christian Burial celebrated in The Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel. Julie graduated from The Summit in 1985 and went on to St. Mary’s College. After graduation she returned to Cincinnati where she became a Docket Clerk in the Hamilton County Clerk of Court’s office, and earned her J.D. from Northern Kentucky University’s Chase College of Law in 1995. Julie served as an Assistant Prosecutor in the Juvenile Division of the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s office for five years, then as Director of the Hamilton County Board of Elections, until she was appointed to the bench of the Hamilton County Municipal Court in 2004. In addition to her scores of professional accomplishments, Julie served the Greater Cincinnati community graciously and compassionately. She volunteered her time with many organizations, including but not limited to: St. Joseph Cemetery Association, Hamilton County Justice Commission, Leadership Cincinnati Steering Committee, Anderson Township Park District, ProKids, Supreme Court of Ohio Mentoring Program, Chase College of Law Alumni Association, and Summit’s Alumni Association where she served as President from 2004 – 2006. She had recently been elected President of the Cincinnati Bar Association and honored as a YWCA Career Woman of Achievement. Julie was a loving daughter to Barbara (Morrissey) Stautberg ’53, and sister to Ann (Stautberg) Wolfe ’87 and Tom Stautberg ’86. Julie will long be remembered for her dedication to serve, her kind and unassuming nature, sense of humor, constant smile and ardent love for her friends and family.
