Letter from Head/ Image
LETTER Head of School Dear Regis Community, At the start of our 2019-20 school year, the full administration, faculty and staff chose the theme of trust to guide our endeavors throughout the year. To achieve a respectable level of trust, the elements of honesty, openness, reliability and competency needed to be present in the community’s day-to-day interactions. At the start, we knew it was critical to reach the higher shelves of trust collaboration among all the members of the community. What you are receiving in this annual report for The Regis School of the Sacred Heart is a tangible expression of trust. Whether you are a member of our Board of Directors, a current or alumni parent, a member of our faculty and staff, a grandparent, alumni or friend of Regis, your generosity strengthens our mission to boys. Your openness to volunteer and participate in our community enables all of us to carry the Regis spirit beyond our campus gates. Through the creation of our new strategic plan, Shaping our Future, together as a community of trust, we can provide our students with the academic tools needed to be leaders with integrity and hope. This past year, we equipped our classrooms with modern active learning furniture, enhanced the science lab with new furniture and upgraded our campus with water bottle filling stations inside and out. We improved our athletic facilities with a refurbished track and new bleachers, and we provided our youngest knights with playground spaces fitting for growing and competitive boy activities. Without your generous support, our future could not take shape in the way it is today. Finally, as we approached the final quarter of our school year, we faced the ultimate challenge to trust with the beginning of a world-wide pandemic. Little did we realize remote learning and a closed campus would challenge us in ways never experienced as a Sacred Heart community. The need for support from our community was never more vital to our future. What an important lesson our boys learned when we together met the challenge by retaining the essentials of our community spirit. It is in this spirit of trust that I thank each one of you for your honesty, reliability, openness and courage. The beneficiaries of this trust are the Regis boys, past and present, who carry our mission into an ever-changing world. With your support, they shape our future with a trusting Sacred Heart! With deep gratitude,
Dennis P. Phillips Head of School

LEGACY The Lodge Family In spring 2020, Regis enrolled its first legacy student when J.W. Lodge, Class of 2000, and his wife, Alice, decided that their son, Will, would become a Regis Knight. J.W.’s father, John W. Lodge III, played an important role in the founding of The Regis School of the Sacred Heart, serving on an advisory committee as the school got started and the Board of Directors from 1997 to 2003. Now a current parent, J.W. is following in his father’s footsteps by serving on the building and grounds committee of the Board of Directors. John and J.W. sat down recently for a conversation about their time at Regis and their hopes for the school going forward now that Will is a 4 Pre-K student at Regis.
Once the Milestones Building was purchased, John helped out with facilities work for the school, all while working full time at his company, Lodge Lumber. “I was on top of the roof with the roofers! I was basically the facilities director. I had my assistant move me in, and we spent at least four or five hours a day here, even on Saturdays. We had a lot to do.” John worked hard to purchase properties around the Milestones Building to create the Regis campus as it is today. “We had to fill in a swimming pool, then get the track going. Some of the people didn’t want to sell [their houses],” but John and other members of the advisory committee were finally able to persuade them.
GETTING INVOLVED – REGIS’ ROOTS
THE REGIS EXPERIENCE – CLASS OF 2000
Friends with some of the other pivotal founders of Regis such as Giorgio Borlenghi, John remembers the phone call he received to assist in getting Regis off the ground. “They called me on the phone—my wife was involved too at the time—and they wanted to know if I would be on the advisory board to help them get [the school] going. J.W. and Eric (Class of 2004) were both at St. Michael at the time. So, we bought this old office building, and we transformed it into everything.” And everything it was! The Milestones Building served as the only permanent building of The Regis School of the Sacred Heart from 1992 until the Marguerite D. and John F. Kelley Building was completed in 2002.
J.W. started at Regis in third grade in the fall of 1994. When asked what it was like to go from St. Michael, a co-ed school, to an all-boys school, J.W. said, “It was a little bit of a shock. A different mentality, a different vibe. I know boys and girls learn differently, and I think being in an all-boys school just lends itself to the way the boys learn. They can cut-up together and not worry about peer pressure from girls. I think that is really important in your developmental stages. It’s also a lot of fun!”
Along with other advisory board members, John traveled to Sacred Heart schools across the country to visit campuses, see classroom setup in action and learn more about how Sacred Heart schools operated. “Sacred Heart schools [offer] a tremendous educational program affiliated with the Catholic Church,” said John. He immediately saw the benefit a Regis education would afford his two young sons.
“The boys were happy to go to school every day. That’s one thing that you don’t see everywhere,” added John. During his time at Regis, J.W. played soccer and rugby and had opportunities to serve in leadership roles in Student Council. “Regis as a whole has impacted me— being in smaller classes, there was a natural need to be friends with everybody in your grade, plus the grade below you and above you. I think it created a really great bond, but it also taught you the importance of friendship and brotherhood.”

Goal V, personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom, is the Sacred Heart Goal that resonates most with J.W. to this day. “I think Regis has a way of maturing students faster,” he said, thinking about a time when he left his lunch at home and was given peanut butter and crackers instead of calling his mom to bring his forgotten lunch to campus for him. “I don’t see this as something [done] in other schools. Teaching you discipline, accountability and responsibility are all qualities Regis teaches you.” THE REGIS EXPERIENCE - CLASS OF 2030 Both J.W. and his father, John, are excited to have another generation of Lodges at Regis. Will, a current 4 Pre-K student, has been enjoying his first semester on campus. “It is great having a grandson here,” said John. When asked what it was like to step back onto campus as a prospective parent instead of as a student, J.W. mentioned it was ‘surreal.’ “I hadn’t seen the changes like St. Joseph’s Hall (now the current library) and the library, and I was almost overwhelmed.” He kept telling his wife, Alice, what different classrooms used to be. He’d say things like, “Alice, this used to be the library! This was St. Joseph’s Hall. We had everything in here—mass, lunch, whatever. This was so-and-so’s class, this was the nurse’s station. It was fun showing her around.” Witnessing life at Regis from a parent perspective has been a great joy for both J.W. and Alice. “I drop Will off three or four mornings a week, and as soon as they open the door, he hops out, and he is running to the front door,” said J.W. He and Alice were discussing Will’s excitement recently, and she exclaimed, “How many other schools would you see your son running to the door to go in each morning?” J.W. continued, “[Will] is so excited. He comes home and he has so many stories.” J.W. and Alice enjoy hearing about what Will is doing in class. Will’s favorite class at school? MakerSpace. “Will has this MakerSpace class which he is infatuated with. To have a bunch of boys there, building bridges... I just don’t envision that the same sort of interest would be there if it was co-ed. I think that is really cool,” said J.W. When asked what he hopes his son will gain from his Regis education, J.W. highlighted the Five Goals, “I think living by the goals was a very important way I was developed from the start, and I hope Will will obviously live his life by the goals, like I have tried to. But, I think maturity, and 12

the kind of leadership, and not being afraid to speak up— that’s what I hope he gets out of Regis.” HOPES FOR THE FUTURE As a member of the building and grounds committee, J.W. is on the ground-level when it comes to envisioning The Regis School of the Sacred Heart of the future. Much like his father was instrumental in creating the physical campus that has become Regis as it is known today, J.W. and the other members of the building and grounds committee are hard at work examining Regis’ current facilities and creating plans for growth that align with Regis’ strategic plan, Shaping Our Future. “I was thankful when my cousin, Victor [Longo] (Alumni Parent and Board Member) called me and said ‘We have a building and grounds committee, and I want you to be a big part of it. Will you join me?’ And, I said ‘Absolutely!’ My interest started with my father,” said J.W. “I’m glad [J.W.] is doing it,” said John, “because someone has to take over!” When asked about what he hopes for the future of Regis, John expressed a desire to maintain the same qualities that make Regis unique today. “I hope Regis keeps it the same [small class sizes] but grows and keeps the education up to what it is now or even better.” J.W. expressed a desire to continue growing the Regis community, and he hopes to have an impact on that from the facilities side. “We’ve got some really great ideas and plans that are going to be coming to fruition over the next several years that I am really excited about. I think that’s a big hope,” he said. “I think continuing to excel and improve in our athletics is something I’d like to see over Will’s tenure, and even my second son, Harris. And, I’d like to see overall growth in the student body,” J.W. continued. Regis taught both J.W. and his brother, Eric, maturity, responsibility and discipline. For John, “Regis taught me to always give back in life. That’s what the Lord has always said—give back to others.” Both John and J.W. agreed that Regis is a special place. “There are no others like it. I can tell you that,” said John.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT John Powell ‘17 YEARS AT REGIS 3 Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth Grade (2006-2017) HIGH SCHOOL Strake Jesuit College Preparatory AWARDS/SCHOLARSHIPS RECEIVED Chivalrous Knight Award Sato-Ellerbe Scholarship HIGH SCHOOL EXTRACURRICULARS Eagle Scout Strake Rugby, Freshman and Sophomore Year Strake Rugby Team Manager, Junior and Senior Year President, Strake Programming Club DESIRED COLLEGE Texas A&M University, accepted University of Texas, accepted DESIRED MAJOR Computer Science I’m really passionate about [computer science]. I think that is just one of those things that I can do all day, and do it for free, and not even want money for it. I think that is a good gauge of what kind of future job you would like—would you do it for free and still be happy? DESIRED CAREER PATH Over these past few months, I’ve been feeling around different topics and exploring them. At the moment, I’m really interested in software development—making apps like Spotify, Netflix and things like that. I’ve also been poking around into artificial intelligence. I think that is a really fascinating subject. WHAT DID THE CHIVALROUS KNIGHT AWARD MEAN TO YOU? It felt good to be there so long and to work as I did and see the result of that. At the same time, I am very thankful for all my teachers. I had amazing teachers at Regis that helped me get there and have prepared me for high school. It felt good to receive that award.
WHO AT REGIS HAD THE MOST IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE? Mrs. Zehawi—She was the best math teacher I’ve ever had— even up to Strake. She was an outlier of all the teachers. That’s what made her so special. What made her so good was that she challenged us. She held very high standards and pushed us in ways that I couldn’t possibly fathom. Her class was challenging, but I certainly grew from that. It really has prepared me for math later down the line in high school. WHICH OF THE FIVE SACRED HEART GOALS RESONATES MOST WITH YOU TO THIS DAY? Goal IV—the building of community as a Christian value. I see this at Strake also. I’ve connected with many people at Regis and at Strake, and I think the community is a vital part of any place, honestly. Without the community, Regis wouldn’t be what it is, Strake wouldn’t be what it is. I’m glad that community is a priority for both of those schools. WHAT DID YOU TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR TIME AT REGIS THAT STILL STICKS WITH YOU TODAY? The impact Mrs. Zehawi had on me. Another thing is friendships. Our grade was the largest—it was 33 people— and that is funny because at Strake, it’s much larger. I think appreciating how close we were at Regis to each other, because we were so small, made really deep friendships between us. BIGGEST ADVENTURE SINCE YOU’VE LEFT REGIS... Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico. I went twice—before and after I became an Eagle Scout. I want to go back there again or even work there. ONE PIECE OF ADVICE FOR CURRENT REGIS STUDENTS... Branch out and try everything that you can. I tried a whole smattering of different things from Student Council to rugby to math club, and I really never regret for one moment trying for the sake of trying and seeing where it will get you. Get very involved in the school.

PADDLES UP The Regis community responded with an abundance of generosity to the Paddles Up donation appeal at Sunglasses at Knight, Regis’ Annual Auction & Gala, on Saturday, February 22, 2020. Paddles Up supported upgrades and improvements to the science and technology labs, impacting the way all Knights engage with STEM initiatives at Regis. After watching a video crafted by Debbie and Gary Treese, now Regis Alum Parents, featuring Regis students, contributions to Paddles Up garnered over $75,000. Over the summer of 2020, the facilities team worked to retrofit the science lab, adding new lab tables, chairs, microscopes and beakers. In this revamped space, Regis middle school students will continue to conduct experiments and dissections, study Earth and space science, physics and chemistry. In addition to this, Regis also supplemented the school’s supply of iPads, refurnished the middle school computer lab and finished the classroom cubby buildouts in lower school. As an added bonus, our early childhood students received a new shade structure over the sandbox on the playground. A huge thanks to all of the members of the Regis community who made this possible!
