Headmaster
Dear Parents, Patrons, and Alumni, We have a great deal to be proud of at The O’Neal School. The School has experienced many exciting and positive events during my first few months as headmaster. Together with the faculty and administration, we are continually exploring ways to enhance learning for all of our students in a safe, nurturing environment. We see a promising future, indeed. Our fall athletic teams have enjoyed a successful season. Basketball, swimming and chearleading are underway, and the facilities are definitely getting a workout with all of the practicing, workouts and games from Middle and Upper School students. The newly formed Fine Arts Department, chaired by June Infantino, is bringing the arts alive here at The O’Neal School. Many events are being planned for the coming year to showcase the talents and passions of our young artists. We kicked off the final phase of the Capital Campaign this fall. This occurred at the Ribbon Cutting ceremony at the Parents’ Association picnic. It was great to see so many O’Neal families on campus celebrating and enjoying each others company. The school needs to raise the last $3 million for the new Activities Center to complete the vision set in motion more than ten years ago. The O’Neal Fund also launched this fall. With its new look and timely message, patrons can direct where their gifts are allocated. I am grateful for all the support given to this outstanding school by all its patrons. The year will provide many more opportunities to make known across this community, what a wonderful school we have. The O’Neal School has much to celebrate—the future is bright, indeed. Sincerely,
Alan K. Barr

Chairman, Board of Trustees
Dear O’Neal Community: The 2009-10 school year has begun and your Board of Directors and I are excited about where we are going. Alan Barr, our new Headmaster, is off to a fast start. For those who have met him, I am sure you will agree, he is the perfect person to lead The O’Neal School. His energy, knowledge and leadership skills will ensure the continued excellence of the O’Neal educational experience. Alan has numerous initiatives already under way to insure O’Neal maintains its position of leadership as an independent school. We welcome constructive feedback and plan to conduct surveys, similar to last years, to insure we have input from the customer’s point of view. This is in addition to regular meetings of the Parents’ Association, in which I encourage participation. We are now in our new Activities Center and if you haven’t taken the opportunity to see it, please do. This facility includes a gymnasium with seating for 700, a beautiful 250-seat theater, additional classrooms and a weight/physical training room, second to none! The completion of our long term facilities plan coupled with our beautiful campus makes this a great environment to nurture the educational experience of our children. The Building Communities Capital Campaign for the Activities Center is in full swing and I want to personally thank those who have contributed to date. This facility was developed under the theory, “build it and they will come”. It is now here! We have a good way to go, but with your continued generous support I look forward to having a mortgage burning celebration in the not-to-distant future. Speaking for the Board and as a parent, I want to thank all of the dedicated faculty, staff and parent volunteers. You really make a difference.

The Auction Committee has been hard at work since May planning O’Neal’s 39th Annual Auction to be held on Saturday, February 6, 2010 at the Fair Barn in Pinehurst. The Reaching for the Stars theme embodies everything everyone tries to achieve at O’Neal – the faculty, the administration, the Board of Trustees and above all, the students. The students will be the “rising stars” this year – they will help design and create the 1500 auction invitations, they will create the 40 table decorations, they will entertain guests with their singing, and they will write thank you notes to the donors and local businesses that support O’Neal. O’Neal continues to have this annual event because the funds raised support the operating budget and through the effort of all the children and volunteers, everyone will “reach for the stars.”
Red Hat groups and other organizations will be invited to join the O’Neal family for a special morning to include a light breakfast. Children from the Lower School will provide entertainment by singing at various times during the morning. Many door prizes will be given away and one lucky Preview attendee will go home with a special piece of jewelry just for attending the event. Thank you to all the parents who donate items or financial support and who volunteer their time to help with the auction. O’Neal could not host this event without their help. If anyone would like to donate an item or a service to the Auction, please contact Lynn Melton at lmelton@ onealschool.org.

New this year will be a Preview on Friday, February 5th from 9am-12pm at the Fair Barn. This will allow the event to be open to the entire community and will give auction attendees the chance to really preview the items and determine where they will spend their time and money on Saturday evening!

Q: Are there other reasons to give? A: Many supporters often make an annual donation in memory or in honor of someone special. There is also an O’Neal Fund Gifting Club with the following tiers: • Members of the Golden Circle, gifts of $5,000 and above • Circle of Benefactors, $2500-4999 • Leadership Circle, $1000-2499 • Charter Circle, $500-999 • Falcon Circle, up to $499
It is truly an exciting time to be at The O’Neal School. The School is secure in its foundation which is the result of so many dedicated faculty, staff, parents, grandparents, and friends. This Annual Report serves as a vehicle to honor all constituents for their tremendous support. In order to build on the School’s foundation and support the activities above and beyond the academic curriculum, the O’Neal Fund is being introduced. Following are some answers to several of the most frequently asked questions about the fund.
All gifts are acknowledged in the O’Neal Annual Report. Q: Are we expected to give to both the O’Neal Fund and the Capital Campaign? A: Because the O’Neal Fund covers immediate operating expenses, we ask that you make it your annual philanthropic priority and that capital gifts be made in addition to your gift to the O’Neal Fund.
Q: Why does O’Neal ask for an annual contribution in addition to our tuition payment? A: O’Neal strives to make tuition sustainable and affordable. Tuition only covers 89% of O’Neal’s annual operating budget needs. Independent schools do not receive any financial support from local taxes or state and national governments. Therefore, they seek yearly tax deductible contributions from a variety of donor sources to cover the gap between tuition and the cost of the education.
Q. Why is there also a Capital Campaign? A: O’Neal is currently raising funds for the new Activities Center. Interim financing has enabled the School to build this facility. Your help and consideration in completing the vision is essential. O’Neal asks that you join others in making a gift to the campaign.
Q :We donate our time...isn’t that enough? A: The O’Neal School is forever grateful for the endless hours that are put in each year by so many. However, the economic reality is that actual unrestricted cash gifts are still necessary to educate our students in the O’Neal tradition and ensure their success beyond high school.
Q: What are the ways I can offer support? A: • Cash, Check, Mastercard, or Visa Peridic reminders for pledges or automatic payments can easily be set up for you. • Transfer of Securities and other Holdings Gifts of appreciated property such as gifts of stock, real estate, and other personal property may net an income tax deduction for full fair market value. This is especially helpful to people who have assets which cost less than their current value.
Q: Why is participation so important? A: High levels of participation clearly show O’Neal leadership and the surrounding community that parents and others are willing to invest in their children’s future and support the O’Neal mission. It signals constituent confidence so the School can reliably move forward with strategic plans. Q: What will our O’Neal Fund dollars support? A: The O’Neal Fund supports activities above and beyond the academic curriculum -- technology initiatives, athletic resources, fine arts & visual arts, faculty professional development as well as O’Neal’s general enrichment -- all is made possible by this fund. This year, you also have the opportunity to designate which of these categories you would like your donation to be applied.
Q: I would like to speak to someone about the O’Neal Fund, whom should I contact? A: Your division or grade chairs are available and you can find out who they are by going to www.ONealSchool.org, click on The O’Neal Fund from the Institutional Advancement tab. You can always reach Brenda Jackson for additional answers, general information or coordination for your gifting. She can be reached at 910-692-6920 ext. 130 or bjackson@onealschool.org.
Q: How much does O’Neal expect me to give? A: The School expects only that each family give according to their means. Each contribution makes a difference in the life of the School and the quality of education received.
We truly thank you for your time, consideration and support of O’Neal. 14
Admissions
It is said that most individuals and organizations have a natural distaste for change. Admissions departments and those who work in them must, by definition, be exceptions to that rule, in that they are always searching for the next new student and new ways to reach a larger portion of the communities that O’Neal serves. This year at O’Neal there has been a good deal of change including new students, buildings and leadership. Fiftyfive new students joined the School this year. As impressive as O’Neal’s new facilities are, the students are even more so. New students always bring a fresh vibrancy and dynamic to the school and everyone is looking forward to this group making its mark on the campus. New leadership always brings a set of fresh eyes to an institution and gives everyone a chance to move to another level. The administrative team and faculty are energized about the possibilities of challenging themselves and making O’Neal a place that gets better every day.

News from Lower School The beginning of a school year is always full of newness and excitement. The students can hardly wait to meet their new teachers, see their new classrooms and get their new books and supplies. This year has also given Lower School students their first experiences in O’Neal’s new Activities Center. The students are very happy and excited to be able to have their physical education classes in the new gymnasium and their music classes in the new music room. Of course, they are always eager to have the opportunity to attend programs and events in the new theater. They enjoyed the Kinetex Dance Ensemble performance in the theater in October. The wide-eyed look on their faces said it all—it was an awesome new experience.
attending a play that correlates to one of their reading units. Second grade will visit a farm in Sanford to enjoy activities that relate to their study of the world around them. Third graders have recently visited Town Creek Indian Mound as part of their study of Spanish Explorers and Native Americans. A trip to Hiddenite Gems for the fourth grade students will extend their study of geology beyond the classroom. Lower School students are fortunate to have so many nearby opportunities to enrich and extend their classroom studies with their various field trips. In September, Lower School students began collecting items for their first community service project. They helped Family Promise of Moore County which is an organization that provides assistance to homeless families. Though several area churches give service hours and provide meals and shelter for needy families, Lower School students discovered that they could help by providing supplies and personal items that are needed. Students and parents were very busy bringing in toiletry items, laundry supplies and paper products that were shared with the families later in October. Other community projects for the year will include: Coalition for Human Care, Guardians Ad Litum, The Sandhills Children’s Center and the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina.
As always, Lower School students have been very involved in their lessons and projects. Some favorite projects for the students this year have been the geometry shapes project, the map masterpieces, book report activities, Senior’s Helping Hands, digestion and respiratory experiments and the fairy tale unit. Another favorite activity for the children has been the after school clubs. Students may stay for an afternoon club one day each week. October’s clubs have been the Falcon Flyers Exercise Club, the O’Neal News and Notes Newspaper Club and the Lower School Book Club. A member of each club gives a report at each assembly program. Students really look forward to their club meetings each week. Field trips for Lower School students have begun. The Pre-K class has planned to visit Quail Haven Village, a local assisted living facility, at least once a month this year. The children really enjoy visiting and sharing songs and activities with the residents. Kindergarten will travel to Gross Farm for a hayride, a picnic and gathering pumpkins that will be used for classroom activities. First grade is 16

News from Middle School Once again it has been a fantastic start to the year in the Middle School. The new students (21) have been welcomed with open arms and are fitting in nicely. Two faculty members are also new to the O’Neal community. Zach Kazior is teaching 7th and 8th grade English (Sandy Huggins has moved to history) and Dave Williamson is teaching science in 7th and 8th as well. Zach is coaching cross country and track while Dave is coaching soccer. Left: Headmaster’s Awards recipients Below: The Hawks take a serious pose this year with determination to keep the Simmons Cup they won last spring.
The house competitions have begun and at present the Hawks have taken an early lead. Community service will again be a focus for the Middle School students this year. Over 2500 golf balls have been collected to send to our troops in Iraq for use at a driving range in Baghdad. Jr. Beta has sponsored a clothing drive for the Moore County Coalition for Human Care. Rich Tompkins has started a daily blog with the idea of giving everyone a little glimpse of Middle School life. Obviously, some days are more exciting than others. It can be found at http://onealmiddle. blogspot.com. Be sure to visit the site. However, the highlight so far this year has been the class trips. Here’s a synopsis of each wonderful adventure.

The fifth graders went to 4-H Camp Betsy-Jeff Penn in Reidsville, NC. They learned about geocaching. Geocaching involves receiving a set of map coordinates from a counselor and then, using a GPS and a topographical map, hiking to find a cached “treasure” or further directions. The students enjoyed campfires, a rope course challenge, canoeing, eating communal meals and sleeping (or not sleeping) in bunk beds. A great time was had by all due to outstanding counselors, good food, being outdoors and spending time together outside the classroom.

The sixth graders peregrinated the wild lands of Morehead City during their annual class trip. From traipsing the ramparts of Revolutionary War-era Fort Macon to conducting a tidal ecology survey on an island populated only by wild horses, the sixth grade class was pushed to explore. The “Sound to Sea” ecology program led students to ask questions about coastal ecosystems while observing life in
The eighth grade trip was as action-packed and fun-filled as always! They departed from school at 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning and arrived at Mt. Vernon in time for lunch. After touring George Washington’s home and plantation grounds, they traveled to Arlington National Cemetery. There they saw the Kennedy family graves and the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. They were fortunate to see a group of World War II veterans watching the ceremony. That night they visited some of the monuments and memorials. On Wednesday they took a tour of the National Cathedral, visited the National Archives and the Holocaust Museum. After dinner and some shopping at Union Station, a few more of D.C.’s beautiful monuments and memorials were visited. On Thursday, they toured the Capitol building and the Smithsonian Museums. Although tired, the group danced the night away at the Hawaiian Luau in the hotel conference room. After visiting the National Zoo, Ford’s Theater and the Marine Corps Museum on Friday, they headed home. It was an awesome trip!
sounds, on the beach, and in the maritime forest environments. Favorite events included fishing and trawling on the USS Mystery, team challenge games on the retreat center property, and watching professional divers swim with 400lb. Mako sharks at the Carolina Aquarium. Students had their own chance to practice food-chain dominance during a big dinner at the Sanitary Fish Market. The seventh grade had a wonderful trip to Camp High Rocks in Cedar Mountain, NC. The weather was very cooperative with three beautiful days to hike, swim, canoe, walk the high ropes, do initiatives, and go white-water rafting. It was a good bonding experience for the members of the class. The camp staff was very impressed with how well the students worked together. They were able to solve problems and to stretch themselves to accomplish the feats that were presented to them. They met new challenges and had fun doing it.

News from Upper School The Upper School is off to a great start. The year opened with an SGA Kick-Off Picnic, which included a Powder Puff game and a chocolate pudding slip-n-slide. The students and faculty had lots of fun and it was an excellent opportunity for everyone to get together.

Athletics The O’Neal School was proud to be the host of this year’s 2A NCISAA State Volleyball Championships on October 30 and 31, 2009. It was a great time to showcase the new Activities Center and The O’Neal campus. The O’Neal Varsity Volleyball team finished a strong season as conference champions with an overall record of 153. All Conference team members are Alex DiMaggio, Ellen Cowherd and Katherine Kelly with Meri-Liz Faulkner receiving honorable mention. Coach of the Year for the CFIC conference was O’Neal’s own Kendall Harper. This year the team was full of experience with six seniors and two juniors. They were an aggressive hitting and strong serving team that was dedicated to the season. Varsity Cross Country
Varsity Volleyball
captains Tommy Miller and Blair Puleo have worked to cultivate a driven and determined team intent on breaking out and reforming itself at its roots. Lead in scoring by Austin Puleo, the boys’ team continues to reach for the top and is looking forward to the development of its younger runners over time. Records are being trod out under Puleo’s feet each week and he is expected to hold the O’Neal all-time record very soon. The girls are lead by eighth grade student Mulloy Manning who has already worked her way to fifth place in overall standings for the girls’ team on the O’Neal record books. The team is looking forward to seeing records drop alongside the mercury as they approach the season’s end.
The 2009 Varsity Boys’ Soccer team entered the season in a rebuilding mode after losing 10 senior starters. The team has leaned heavily on senior captains Will Rittenhouse, Dante Del Guercio and Andy Jackson to make it through a season riddled with inexperience, injuries and some bad bounces. After starting the season without a full compliment of players, the team has settled down and been competitive in every game the second half of the season, taking two conference rivals into overtime. The team continues to work hard for the second year head coach Ted Hassenfelt and assistant coach David Wood. The youth of the team in J.R. Moore, Jacob Talbert, Taylor Morton, and Ryan Williams are gaining valuable experience that will help close out the season on a positive note that Varsity Soccer will carry over into next year.
Varsity Tennis The Varsity Girls’ Tennis team got off to a great start going 6-3 and still has a chance to take second place in the CFIC conference. Amelia Schirmer and Victoria Scarpa each have six wins out of nine matches and Virginia Scarpa and Victoria Scarpa have six wins in doubles. With seven matches remaining, Coach Woodfield believes the team can improve their record and be in great shape for the State Tournament in Wilmington at the end of October.
Led by head coach Josh Roberts and assistant coaches Zack Kazior, Caitlin Bowness and Heather Weeks, the boys’ and girls’ cross country teams enjoyed the return of seniors Tommy Miller (captain), Mark Pracht, Blair Puleo (captain) and Whitney Cutler to form the backbone of the team leadership. Putting themselves forward to lead by example, 21
Building Communities O’Neal has completed the first phase of the Complete the Vision capital campaign due to the support and dedication of faculty, staff, parents, grandparents and friends.

JV and Middle School Volleyball The JV Volleyball team made up of four sophomores and eight freshmen, was coached by Farrah Scodius from the Upper School faculty. JV Volleyball Whether traveling locally to Union Pines or all the way to Harrells, the 2009 JV Volleyball team remained unified as a team regardless of the opponent they were about to face. “We came out at the beginning of the season and played very well,” said Coach Scodius. “We struggled a bit with our passing serving consistency. I am proud of the positive attitude and effort the girls displayed throughout the year. It was an honor to be their coach.”
This year’s Middle School volleyball team had twentyfive girls playing. Again the squad was broken into three teams to make matches workable so everyone could get some experience in competition. The eighth graders performed well. They have a good base in the skills of passing and serving to take with them to the next level. As, always the seventh grade girls struggle a bit with fundamentals and are very nervous during matches. This is very normal and we look forward to seeing them mature when Middle School Volleyball they lead the team next year.
With the season now approaching the end, the team welcomes next year’s rising ninth graders and will strive to improve each season. Certainly these Falcons will continue to soar!

Coached by Greg Mancini and David Williamson, the JV Boys’ Soccer team faced a significant challenge this fall after a highly successful campaign last year and the promotion of several of the team’s top players to varsity. Often pitted against teams with much older and experienced players, the team battled injuries to key players, dug in and fought hard all year. The O’Neal JV Soccer season has been about team effort in every way. Every player on the team has improved tremendously throughout the year. Their effort was rewarded in the last game when multiple players contributed on all four goals in a comprehensive 4-1 win against Harrells Christian Academy. The coaches are looking forward to building on this wonderful year of development with a strong incoming class of new players.

The JV Girls’ Tennis team had a great season. All the girls improved everyday. O’Neal is so thankful to be able to field a JV team consisting of 12 girls. Several other schools are not as fortunate. The team played some local schools such as West Pine and Pinecrest to help fill the schedule voids. These matches are great being so close and that they are very competitive playing girls who are a little older. The team had a great experience. The team was coached by Shane Moubry, an O’Neal alum, who also played at O’Neal and in college.
