Rosary Review Fall 2012 by Rosary High School

On the Cover Celebration Mass begins Rosary’s 50th Anniversary Year The opening celebration of Rosary’s 50th anniversary was a day of jubilation for the more than 600 guests who joined with us to praise, bless and glorify God for the many blessings bestowed on Rosary.

The Dominican Sisters of Springfield, Illinois

Abbot Vincent, the main celebrant for Mass, was joined by seven other Marmion monks, three diocesan priests and our Deacon, Paul Iwanski. In his homily, Abbot Vincent reminisced about the price of things in 1962 and concluded that the best value that year was a new, Dominican, all girls high school located on Edgelawn Drive. Sr. Mary Joseph, our founding principal, was present in spirit. Her reflections, delivered by Rosary pioneer Sr. Dominica, took us back to very beginnings: Bishop Lane’s invitation to open a high school for girls—starting with 43 freshmen at the old Holy Angels School on Locust and Galena—surviving the inconveniences of construction with no electricity, chalkboards or extra desks—being supported by the partnership of parents, teachers, staff and students whose legacy of trust continues to this day. Sr. Mary Joseph reminded all of us that the goals then and now are the same, providing an excellent Catholic, Dominican education for young women. The music provided by our choruses and orchestra under the direction of Ann Mary Wagner sounded like a heavenly choir. Perhaps the most poignant moment in the liturgy was the singing of the Dominican Blessing by the sisters who attended the celebration. So many parents told me that moment was a time for tears of gratitude. (Visit our YouTube channel to see the Dominican Blessing from this day.) Our young women played a big part in the day as greeters, Eucharistic ministers and lectors. Under the direction of Sandy Iwanski, the girls conducted themselves with reverence and dignity. Sandy and Paul Iwanski also worked with the Dominican Preachers to make one decade rosaries for all of our guests who received them as a gift at the end of the liturgy. The rosaries were encased in lovely blue silk pouches made by Debbie Olson and our alumnae.

Many special guests added to the solemnity of the occasion:

201

the Springfield Dominican Leadership Team of Sr. Rose Marie Riley, Sr. Barbara Blesse, Sr. Rebecca Ann Gemma and Sr. Kathlyn Mulcahy; our former principals Sr. Maria, Sr. Gabriella, Sr. Regina, Sr. Francene and Sr. Mary Megan; the Rockford Superintendents of Education, Michael Kagan and Margo Shifo; the Chicago superintendent, Sr. Mary Paul; Dr. Quaid, Headmaster at Marmion; Fr. Etheredge, Principal at Aurora Catholic Central; and Alderman Whitey Peters who represented the Mayor of Aurora. Current and former parents, students, staff and sisters agreed that we were privileged to be here to cherish a strong tradition and to look forward to a strong future. We ended the day with wonderful refreshments arranged and served by Anne Danos. Our guests enjoyed touring the building, looking at pictures, swapping “ remember when” stories and cherishing a memory of an extraordinary day of blessings. More events are planned to celebrate throughout the year: February 23, 2013: Golden Jubilee Candlelight Ball Saturday, March 9, 2013: Mission Family Carnival Saturday, March 16, 2013: Alumnae Dinner Theatre Saturday, May 4, 2013: Closing Mass and Family Picnic

School Life Bringing the Courtroom to the Classroom Associate Judge Linda Abrahamson came to Rosary High School in September and presented a new program called Bringing the Courtroom to the Classroom to Ms. Denise Iffland’s American Government classes. This program was established by the Illinois Judges Association to promote a better understanding of the work of the courts, and to share information regarding important legal and constitutional issues. Prior to Judge Abrahamson’s visit, the students read and discussed the United States Supreme Court case of New Jersey v. T.L.O. which decided a Fourth Amendment issue of concern to students: Is it constitutional for school officials to search a student’s possessions at school without a warrant? Judge Abrahamson gave an overview of the three branches of government and the Illinois court system, then lead a discussion of the case and the real-world ramifications of the legal issues involved. The program aims to demonstrate to students the important role our courts play in our society. Perhaps this experience will inspire some Rosary students to become the lawyers and

The Illinois Judges Association hopes to bring the program to 225 classrooms to commemorate the 225th anniversary of the Constitution of the United States.

Staff Attends Yearbook Camp Each summer, Rosary sends a few members of the yearbook staff to camp. The girls competed at the Midwest Yearbook Workshop held at St. Xavier University for three days in June. Schools come from Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois. The schools develop the theme and layouts for the coming year’s book and have the chance to work with artists from Dallas, Texas. They are judged on their mock yearbook that must include the cover, theme development, layouts, photography, copy and captions. Attending this year were Abby Urbik, Emma Pettyjohn, Lexi Lovetere, Holly Kuhn and Mollie Dempsey.

Illinois Music Educators Association District Festival Seniors Elise McArdle (french horn), Elizabeth Kupar (viola) and Molly Piech (alto) represented Rosary High at the District IX Illinois Music Educators Association Music Festival on November 17, 2012. They auditioned on October 2 at Addison Trail High School, and were chosen for the festival from a pool of over 2000 music students. This audition was used to select All-State musicians for the 2013 IMEA Festival in January 2013. All-state musicians will be announced later this month.

Student Spotlight Thirteen Students Help with 13th Springfield Project The Springfield Project is a three-day service experience held in Springfield Illinois. This past summer was the 13th year that Rosary students attended. The girls worked at Mercy Home, a shelter for battered women and children. They helped clean out an abandoned house to prepare it for occupancy for the families. From there, the families work to regain their independence. Students also worked at Jubilee Farm, an ecology and spirituality center where they helped weed the gardens. At St. Martin’s food and clothing pantry, the girls helped the elderly people who run the program do deep cleaning. The girls also had fun visiting historical Lincoln sites, went bowling, and built a connection with the Dominican mother house, located in Springfield. They ate their meals there and got to know the sisters. Thirteen students attended the Springfield Project this past year: Stephanie Ebert, Celine Italia, Maddy Hemmerich, Marie Zolfo, Sydney Price, Colleen Madlinger, Kianna Musaraca, Cecelia Kinane, Emma Knudtson, Juliana Froehlich, Erin Bowe, Breanna Sanchez, Amanda Saltijeral. Plans are in the works for Rosary’s 14th annual Springfield Project in the summer of 2013.

Economics Class Tours the Fed, Board of Trade and More Students in Mrs. Roberta Stubing’s Economics class visited various locations in the Chicago Loop October 26. The first stop was the Chicago Federal Reserve. Mr. Don Wagner spoke about the history as well as the current role of the Fed and gave a tour of the interactive museum. The next stop was the Chicago Board of Trade where Mrs. Liz Francis and Mrs. Joe Choinski of the CME group explained the trading process in the pits and the role that technology has played recently. The students then visited the regional investment firm, William Blair & Company. There the Sullivan team gave a presentation about investing and tour of the various departments including bond and institutional trading as well as retail investing. Terese Simonek Gravenhorst (Rosary Class of ’76) met with the group for lunch. Mrs. Gravenhorst graduated from Barat College with an economics degree and is employed by J.P. Morgan Chase. The final stop was a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago. Making the trip were Economics students Kara Clark, Heather Glanville, Paige Robinson, Katie Fitzpatrick and Emma Doroff.

Campus Ministry Dominican Preachers

Have you even wondered what the “O.P.” stands for at the end of our Dominican sisters’ signatures? It stands for “Order of Preachers,” a title given to Dominican friars, brothers, nuns, sisters, and lay Dominicans the world over. The Dominican Association of Secondary Schools sponsors an annual summer conference to connect Dominican high school students from the United States and Puerto Rico. In the Spring of their sophomore year, students are invited to apply for the Dominican Preaching team. Each year, faculty moderators Paul and Sandy Iwanski travel to Siena Heights University in Adrian, Michigan to attend the conference with four to six students who are entering their junior year. Students who are chosen to attend this conference serve on the Dominican Preaching team for two years — which means we always have between eight and ten Dominican Preachers in our student body. Our newest Preachers (pictured at right with the Iwanskis) are juniors Sara Caligiuri, Abby Hammer, Devon James, Lauren Murray, Anna Ward and Angela Wrona. They join senior Preachers Margaret Archibald, Aimee Arvayo, Nicole Filardi and Taylor Gibson.

The Dominican Preacher action plan for this school year includes helping freshmen learn to make rosaries. As planned last year, they completed a hand-knotted, one-decade rosary for everyone who attended the opening liturgy for our 50th anniversary year. The Alumnae Association created royal blue satin cases for each 50th anniversary rosary.

Pray with Us Families and friends are always welcome to join the Rosary High School community for our Eucharistic liturgies and prayer services. The school handbook and website announcements will remind you of upcoming opportunities to stop by school and pray with your daughter and her friends (please use the office entrance and pick up a “visitor” name tag). Our upcoming plans include: • Communion Service with Liturgy of the Word: every Friday at 10:28 am; 11:16 am; 12:04 pm in the prayer space in the foyer

Senior Retreat Team Rosary High School’s 2012-13 Senior Retreat Team gathered at LaSalle Manor in Plano for a two-day retreat to prepare for a year of serving the Rosary community. SRT plans one-day retreats for all grade levels, assists at liturgy, and serves in leadership roles throughout the year. In the spring of junior year, girls are invited to apply for this important ministry. They are selected based on their leadership potential and their willingness to share their faith.

Pictured at their SRT retreat are Maggie Archibald, Aimee Arvayo, Madeline Augustyn, Regan Clementi, Sarah Duguay, Stephanie Ebert, Kaleigh Ellis, Kayla Emory, Nicole Filardi, Kaitlin Fitzpatrick, Juliana Froehlich, Maddie Heinen, Maddy Hemmerich, Sydney Price, Paige Robinson, Fabiola Villalpando, Kate Wangler, Mallory Weis, Mary Wentworth and Mary Erin York.

Details to be announced. We pray as a community at the start of homeroom each day. Our daily prayer is posted on the Rosary website. You will find it under Student Life ---> Pray With Us.

Campus Ministry Prayer…..Study….Community…..Service The Dominican Pillars come to life as we look at the ways our girls have lived out the pillar of service. If we could attach a number to the Dominican challenge to “preach with our lives” it would be 20,483—that is the number of service hours Rosary students completed in the 2011-2012 school year. The numbers also tell us that preaching with our lives becomes more a part of life as we grow in the Rosary Dominican community: Last year’s seniors completed 7939 hours; juniors 5451 hours; sophomores 4351 hours; and freshmen 2742 hours. Twice each year, students complete written theological reflections which become part of their service records. Students describe their service experiences: It inspired me…the innocence of these kids and the pureness of their hearts. Each and every time I have gone on the Appalachian Service Project I have seen God: in the man whose house we had to make safe for him..in the group of people I was working with… in the smiling faces of the family we were helping..I could see God everywhere…I could see God in me! I tutored this semester. God helped me show my student how interesting and important the study of life is. God helped me foster a great personal relationship with her as well.

Freshmen Hold Fall Retreat Deep Roots-Bold Dreams: Welcome to the Family was the theme of the October 17 freshman retreat. They explored the Dominican pillars of Prayer, Study, Community, and Preaching and looked at how the pillars shape life at Rosary. Through talks presented by the Senior Retreat Team and small group discussions, students looked at Dominican life. The SRT shared stories of what they love about being a Rosary girl. Asked to choose one word to describe this gathering with other Rosary girls, the freshmen included: family, friendship, sisterhood, fun, beginnings, acceptance, hope, support. What a great beginning to the high school experience! As part of the closing prayer service, each member of the class of 2016 wrote a letter to herself as she responded to reflection questions about her hopes and dreams for her years at Rosary, and how she experiences God in her life. Today’s freshman, like every Rosary girl, will find her freshman retreat letter in the envelope that holds her diploma in May of 2016.

My service reminded me of the feeding of 5000. Jesus was able to provide many hungry people with food, just like I was able to by helping out at the food pantry. It feels good to know that I have a talent given by God that I can use to help somebody else. I participated in the Hope D Wall School Christmas party…I participate every year and every year I volunteer there I love it even more…the smiles are priceless…it encourages me to keep volunteering. In 2011-2012, 111 students received service awards. Students who complete 200+ hours of service in a school year receive the Dominican Service Award. Service awards are also presented to students who complete 100+ and 50+ hours in one school year.

Service Requirements All Rosary students have an annual ten-hour service commitment, but most students surpass this goal.

Celebrate Seniors It’s a tradition! On September 25, seniors set aside the morning to celebrate the start of their graduation year. The Senior Retreat Team led their classmates through a review of the years they have spent at Rosary, and invited each student to choose one word that summed up her goal for a beautiful senior year. The morning had everything needed for a great celebration: eating, talking, sharing, praying and singing. This is a great place to discover that you have soul sisters!

Freshmen Make Rosaries Spearheaded by the Action Plan of our Dominican Preachers, on October 25th, our freshman Theology classes welcomed Sr. Jean Patrick Ernhart, a Dominican sister of Springfield, who taught our girls how to hand-knot a rosary. Colored twine and tangled fingers soon led to carefully crafted prayer beads as Sr. Jean Patrick, assisted by our Dominican Preachers, helped students make a rosary that is truly their own. The days leading up to Rosary’s all-school celebration of the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary found freshmen huddled in study hall, at the lunch table, in the library and in the hallway tying knots and showing their friends how to craft a rosary.

Events and Clubs Big Sisters Welcome Little Sisters to Rosary On the day before classes began for all students, the freshman class of 2016 and transfer students were welcomed by their Big Sisters from the class of 2014.

to get to know each other. Student Ambassadors shared their personal thoughts about why Rosary is such a great place for young women, then the girls toured the school. The day ended with a fashion show of uniform “do’s & don’ts.”

The Rosary Student Ambassadors were also on-hand to speak with the girls, give tours of the school and to make the new Rosary girls feel at home. The morning started with a great breakfast provided by Parents’ Auxiliary and a chance for the Big and Little Sisters

8th Grade Get-Together On Thursday, Oct. 11, Rosary hosted 68 girls at our annual 8th Grade Get-Together. The girls in attendance came from a variety of public and private schools. The girls enjoyed a pizza dinner, and had a chance to visit with Rosary Student Ambassadors as well as 8th grade girls from other schools. The girls made 15 fleece baby blankets which were donated to the Pregnancy Information Center in Aurora.

Coat Drive 10

Rosary clubs USA Leaders and Las Hermanitas sponsored a Coat Drive at Rosary this Fall, filling four large bins with coats to be donated to those in need.

SAFE Club: Red Ribbon Week Rosary’s SAFE Club planned many activities during Red Ribbon Week (Oct. 23-31) to increase student awareness about drug and alcohol abuse factually and spiritually. Club members began each day of Red Ribbon Week with a prayer and told the story of how the event originated. During the past three years, the SAFE Club has established standards and traditions for Red Ribbon Week at Rosary, including handing out red ribbons to all staff and students to wear, praying for those whose lives are affected by alcohol and drug addiction, educating students about drug and alcohol abuse, and having the entire student body sign a Red Ribbon Week banner pledging to take a stand against drug and alcohol use. This year’s banner was displayed in the foyer next to the banners from the prior two years. The goal of Rosary’s SAFE Club is to educate students on staying safe. This year the club is bringing awareness to drug and alcohol abuse, the danger of texting while driving, and bullying. The members are also involved with several activities including Picnic for Peace at Phillips Park, Operation Snow Ball, and pre-prom drug and alcohol education and awareness.

Events and Clubs Rosary Day Because October 7, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, was on a Sunday, we celebrated Rosary Day on Friday, October 5. The whole community gathered to pray the prayer that names our school. The rosary is a gift to us from St. Dominic, who received it from the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is a contemplative prayer: a gentle prayer that points us in the direction of taking time to reflect ... to be still ... to consider who we are and whose we are ... to think about our life’s journey. Our shared prayer led us right into another community event: a picnic! The courtyard, foyer, and cafeteria provided picnic spots as all enjoyed the chance for hot dogs and a change-of-pace lunchtime. The lunchtime stars were Parent Auxiliary volunteers who prepared and served our delightful picnic lunch. In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, lunchtime included a DJ playing the hits of the 1960s.

Rosary/Marmion Pep Club What’s the newest sensation hitting Rosary and Marmion? Rosary and Marmion are bringing back the all fan-fabulous Pep Club. The co-ed club has worked diligently to support both schools’ varsity teams. Some of the highlights have been the making of super fan banners for these premier athletes, boosting fan attendance for specific events, collaborating with our brother school to enhance student relationships, and assisting in leading our fan section to cheers of victory for our sports. Pep Club is led under the guidance of Mrs. Laura Ruddy (Rosary English Teacher) and is assisted greatly by Sr. Patricia Burke, Dr. Quaid, Mrs. Garofalo, Mrs. Carlson, and the Executive Boards of the Rosary Rowdies and the Cadet Crazies. Pep Club will continue to grow and foster positive energized people for the winter and spring sport seasons! If you haven’t joined, it is not too late—we are always looking for more super fans!

FreshFest 2012 Rosary’s Parents Auxiliary began what looks to become a new tradition this year by hosting the inaugural FreshFest on August 12, welcoming all new Rosary and Marmion freshmen to an evening of fun, games and food before the start of school. About 165 freshmen attended

Development The Annual Rosary Appeal is Underway The Rosary Appeal is our annual major funding campaign that runs from late October through the end of June. The focus of the Rosary Appeal this year is three-fold: bridging the tuition gap, increasing the number of merit-based scholarships, and funding technology initiatives. The tuition gap is the difference between tuition and the actual cost of educating one young woman at Rosary. This year, Rosary’s tuition gap stands at $2900. Please keep in mind that nearly all Catholic high schools experience this “gap”; the national average for tuition gap is $2100. Your donation to the Rosary Appeal enables us to bridge this gap and allows us so much more flexibility when addressing the financial needs of the school. The Rosary Appeal is also focused on increasing the number of available merit-based scholarships. Generations of parents tell us that their daughters have excelled in all facets of life thanks to the foundation provided by their Rosary education. Colleges actively recruit Rosary women as evidenced by $13.4 million in college scholarships awarded last year. By attracting “the best and the brightest”, this Rosary legacy will continue well into the 21st century. Beginning next year, Rosary will be one of only two Catholic high schools in northern Illinois to offer a Robotics class.

Please take a moment to consider the vital role the Rosary Appeal plays in our success and give thoughtful prayer as to how you can help us continue our mission through your gift. Donations can be made using cash, check, or credit card, as well as by quick and convenient access online at www. rosaryhs.com/donation. If you have any questions, please contact Sherry See at 630-896-0831 ext. 13. Thank you in advance for your support of the Rosary Appeal!

Candlelight Ball Candlelight Ball to Celebrate Past, Launch the Next 50 Years The Rosary High School 50th Anniversary Candlelight Ball is quickly approaching. This year’s dinner dance and auction will be held in the Regency Ballroom of the Hilton Hotel in Lisle, IL on February 23, 2013. The event begins with a cocktail hour from 5:30 to 6:30 pm followed by a sit-down dinner and dancing. The highlight of the evening will be our silent and live auctions, all designed to help us raise funds to further the mission of the Dominican Sisters here at Rosary. While this anniversary year has focused on celebrating the school’s first half century, the theme of this year’s Candlelight Ball is “Launching the Next 50 Years.” With that in mind, we’ve focused our efforts on bringing technology to bear on the event. Our new Candlelight Ball website, www.rhscb. com is up and running. Each month, items will be featured on the online auction. Congratulations to Kim Caligiuri who won our first online auction, (2) tickets to see Grease at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora. Kim also won the second, and certainly more exciting, auction item, a personalized front row parking space near the gym entrance, for her daughter, Sara. Sue Paradis matched Kim’s bid and secured a parking space for her daughters, Erin and Katelyn as well. Thanks to both of them for being the first winners in our online auctions. Be sure to check in for the November auctions…they are fun for the whole family! Dinner tickets and raffle tickets can be purchased on the site as well. Speaking of raffle tickets, this year’s “the i’s Have It” raffle continues with the technology theme. For $25 each, or 3 for $50, you can secure a chance to win one of three prizes: 1st prize is an Apple iPad with WiFi, 2nd prize is an Apple Mini iPad with WiFi, 3rd prize is an Apple iTouch, 5th Generation. Purchase your chances

online at www.rhscb.com. Please help us reach our goal of having every family purchase at least one ticket. The evening will be chock full of fun. As you arrive, you’ll be presented with a Bidpal device for placing your silent auction bids throughout the night. The handheld unit is simple to use and will allow you to make a single pass around the room to see what is available for auction. After that, keep placing your bids electronically while you visit with friends. Bidpal will let you know what items you are winning, which ones you’ve been outbid on and what items have no bid on them at all. You can learn more about Bidpal from our website. Just click on “Learn to Bidpal” at the bottom of the home page. Professional charity auctioneer, Jim Miller, will lead the live auction that night. Jim’s personality and sense of humor will keep everyone engaged and laughing throughout the live auction. To finish the night, we’ll dance to the sounds of Chef Dan and the Appetizers. This talented group of musicians returns to the Candlelight Ball again this year. All of the musicians are affiliated with McDonald’s Corporation in some way and play only for charitable events. Kelly and Emma Knauf ’s dad, Jim, plays in the band. You’ll be talking about their music for days afterwards! Finally, we’d like to thank all those that have donated sponsorships to underwrite our event. Your donations help ensure the profitability of the evening. We are still in need of donations for our auction as well as event sponsors. We still have (2) of our highest level sponsorships available. At the $2,000 level we will feature your business on our website and provide a link to your company’s site as well. If you have questions about the Candlelight Ball, you can contact us via email at candlelightball@rosaryhs.com or call Linda Fritz at 630-208-8094. Most importantly, buy your tickets now! The early bird price of $75 each expires on December 31, 2012. Tickets are $100 after that. Tickets are selling fast…See you at the Ball!

Rosary Sports Boosters 33rd Annual

Super Bowl Party Sunday, February 3, 2013

Get your tailgating gang together! Sign up online at www.rosaryhs.com.

Athletics Rosary BEADs Raise Funds for “Real Swimmers Wear Pink” The Rosary Beads Swim Team participated in their first Real Swimmers Wear Pink event which raises money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Freshman Lauryn Streid is one of the founders of this charity and was excited to bring it to the Beads this year. On October 22, the team held a breaststroke practice to support the fight against breast cancer. The swimmer who brought in the most donations won the chance to throw a pie in the face of Head Coach Bill Schalz. There was a tie and Bill was kind enough to let both of the girls throw pies at him. Erin Hart and Annie Gosselin were the lucky winners.

The Beads raised more than $1,000 in donations and t-shirt sales. The swimmers had a great time while raising money for an important cause.

Under the Tuscan Sky: Italian Dinner 2012

Walk-A-Thon 2012 a Huge Success

The Rosary Sports Boosters held their annual Italian Dinner to benefit Rosary athletic programs on October 20, 2012. More than 225 people enjoyed a night “Under the Tuscan Sky,” with dinner provided by Papa Saverio’s.

The theme of this year’s Walk-a-thon was Disney Dash and students did more than dash as they finished the walk in record time (even though it’s not a race!) and they sprinted past their goal of $40,000!

This year we had 24 baskets created by Jane Nasharr, Laurie Carey and Sue Paradis through the donations of our fall sport athletes who also served as waitresses. Early bird “Lotto” winners were Nick Bauler: $500; Dan Ricci: $100 and Linda Fritz: $50. The night was a huge success bringing in more than $5300 to benefit ALL our Rosary athletic programs! Plan now for the Rosary Sports Boosters 33rd Annual Super Bowl Party on Sunday, February 3, 2013.

Our top pledge turnin came from Melissa Bronski who raised $1117, next was Courtney Swickert with $500, and Kathryn Leonardi with $400. Eighteen girls brought in $200 or more in pledges and nineteen girls $150 or more. Top homeroom was Sr. Bernie’s room who brought in $3067. They earned the special breakfast. The top class who receives the special lunch prize went to the Freshmen who brought in $12,182 averaging $128 per student. Congrats to the faculty and students for exceeding our goal and getting our free day on the Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving. In keeping with the Disney theme, seniors were princesses, juniors dressed in colors from The Lion King, sophomores in purple and black for Mulan, and freshmen in the colors of Finding Nemo.

Our Mission Rosary High School is a Catholic college preparatory school for young women sponsored by the Dominican Sisters of Springfield, Illinois. Rooted in the gospel values of Jesus Christ, Rosary High School is committed to the mission of educating and developing Christian leaders in the Dominican tradition:

• encouraging faith development

• developing individual gifts

• seeking truth

• valuing Christian service

• striving for academic excellence and lifelong learning

• fostering responsible members for society

Our Plan for the Future 2012-2017 Three Strategic Objectives Using data gathered from our planning survey and the input of focus group participants, our Strategic Planning Blue Ribbon Cabinet identified three top strategic priorities – our “three legs of the stool.” These are:

(1) More effectively & pro-actively build around Rosary’s core values. This strategic objective focuses on:

 More clearly defining and proclaiming the school’s

“value proposition” to a community that may not know or grasp the incredible impact of Rosary’s mission, or understand the value of its tuition pricing.

(3) Fund the Mission. This strategic objective focuses on:

 Defining and achieving target enrollment levels.  Maximizing philanthropic giving – for operations, facilities & endowment.

 Defining and achieving the appropriate tuition policy.  Implementing appropriate processes for projecting resource requirements.

Supporting Our Objectives

 Examining, refining and advancing an academic pro-

gram consistent with constituent expectations, Dominican charism, etc.

 Attracting, retaining and rewarding faculty of quality consistent with the Rosary mission.

 Maintaining a commitment to single-sex education,

and building an all-around program around the benefits such a commitment brings.

 Ensuring that the faculty and students will participate fully in the spiritual life of the school community.

 Ensuring that all students will experience leadership opportunities.

 Ensuring that appropriate space, equipment and technology are available to achieve excellence.

 Recruiting, retaining, and celebrating a diverse student body.

The Rosary Strategic Planning Working Group – comprised primarily of faculty and staff – worked through the strategic objectives to identify nine bold goals for the future. Rosary faculty and staff, with the selective involvement of appropriate board members and other stakeholders with specific expertise, are involved in shaping multiple and specific action items, benchmarks and timelines for each.

1. Clearly define the profile(s) of the Rosary Woman. 2. Over the next five years, grow the enrollment to reach – and sustain – 450-475 students.

3. Build an academic program in concert with the

mission and the Rosary Woman. Ensure the allocation of appropriate resources – instructors, materials, technology, equipment.

4. Establish and promote “distinguishing programs”

that highlight Rosary’s singular mission and differentiate itself from the competition in the market.

(2) Market & Promote the Rosary difference.

Nine Goals

This strategic objective focuses on:

 Assertively promoting the mission and vision of the school.

 Creating and achieving the school’s desired identity and “brand” in its targeted markets.

 Securing desired enrollment through recruitment and retention.

 Competing assertively for the right students, faculty, leadership and philanthropic resources.

 Creating the desired image through public relations and marketing.

5. Within the building, establish an environment

and culture consistent with the school mission and the Rosary Graduate, and with an eye towards attracting and retaining the right faculty/staff and students.

6. Effectively market and sell Rosary High School. 7. Reconfigure staff, budgets, job responsibilities and

behaviors to implement the actions of the strategic plan.

8. Maximize philanthropic support for operating revenue.

9. Prepare for and raise capital required to fund the priorities of the strategic plan.

• Enrollment management • Fundraising We depend on the partnership of our parents, alumnae and friends. Please consider the difference Rosary has made in your life and consider partnering with us in the following ways:

Annual Appeal Funding our strategic plan will require significantly increased philanthropy – to fund scholarships, improved technology in our curriculum and additional staff/programs that will provide a “Rosary difference.” Please consider a generous gift to Rosary each year. Spreading the Word Do you know a family/young woman that is “right” for Rosary? Promote us! Encourage them! And reach out to our admissions office at (630) 896-0831 x12.
