Letter from the PresidentDear Alumnae, Parents, and Friends of Catholic High,

This edition of the Highlighter captures the excitement of Catholic High during the 2016 - 2017 school year. Please enjoy reading about the many vibrant and exciting activities that took place. I hope you will share the pride and joy we feel in our achievements in athletics and the visual and performing arts. Also highlighted are traditional events such as Hello Day, Career Day, Miss Catholic High, the May Crowning, and Commencement on May 23 at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen. In addition, we recognized the 50th anniversary class, the Class of 1967. Seventy members of the class honored us and the Class of 2017 with their presence at the Baccalaureate and graduation ceremony.

As I conclude my 16th year as President, I am so pleased to share the good news that is Catholic High. I am proud to be a part of such an esteemed institution that continues to promote the strong academic tradition and rich history of our sponsors, the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia, while remaining a formidable, educational presence in Baltimore and beyond.

Please join me in sharing Catholic High’s spectacular legacy! By letting your light shine brightly, you assist our light to shine as we continue to be recognized as a strong presence in the local and global community.

During the visit, the Middle States Team:

• informally interacted with students in the dining hall and between classes • formally met with student groups • conducted interviews with teachers and sta� individually • observed classrooms • interviewed parents and board members • met with department chairs • provided an opportunity for an informal faculty forum

Way to go Megan! Keep letting your light shine!


Three Seniors Honored at Baltimore’s Distinctive Scholars Convocation

Congratulations to Elena Mehiel ‘17, Shannon Lord ‘17, and Sierra Zittle ‘17 who were honored at the Archdiocese of Baltimore’s Distinctive Scholars Convocation on Tuesday, April 4. �e Distinctive Scholars Convocation applauds the top academic students and recognizes their academic achievements accomplished over their four years in high school.

SeaPerch Team Wins First Place!Catholic High’s SeaPerch teams competed at the U.S. Naval Academy, with our senior Sea Bears Elena Mehiel and Emmie Michalkiewicz, �nishing 1st out of 120 teams in the math challenge! �e SeaPerch program provides students with the opportunity to learn about robotics, engineering, science, and mathematics (STEM) while building an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV). �roughout the process, students learn engineering concepts, problem solving, teamwork, and technical applications. To build the ROV students must assemble a control device and solder wires, build and waterproof engines, cut and drill PVC for the body and design to optimal buoyancy. Go, Sea Bears!

VEX Robotics Team Competes at STEM FestOn June 4, Catholic High’s VEX Robotics Team competed at the Baltimore Robotics Club STEM Fest. �e festival was held in Timonium and featured drone simulations, indoor drone racing, 3D printers in action, and game and animation demonstrations. It also featured a “First-Look” Invitational Challenge where Catholic High’s VEX Robotics Team tested and competed with their robot, ultimately tying their opponent.

�e VEX Robotics Team at Catholic High is an organization that inspires a group of curious learners to utilize diverse approaches

in applying 21st Century skills and creativity. �e team is encouraged to have fun, take risks, focus, and frame challenges while incorporating STEM, the arts and service learning.

Catholic High Competes in Moody’s Mega Math Challenge�e team of Elena Mehiel, Autumn Matthews, Jade Wilkens and Emily Dunham took the Moody’s Mega Math (M3) Challenge, a mathematical modeling contest for high school juniors and seniors. �rough participation, students experience what it’s like to work as a team to tackle a real-world problem under time and resource constraints, akin to those faced by professional mathematicians working in industry. �e Challenge is sponsored by �e Moody’s Foundation and organized by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). �e girls downloaded the problem entitled “From Sea to Shining Sea” early on a Saturday morning and had 14 hours to work on and submit their solution.

Computer Engineering Class Tours Supercomputer Data CenterMrs. Trapani’s computer engineering class embarked on a �eld trip to the U.S. Army Research Laboratory’s DOD Supercomputing Research Center at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. �e students learned about the history of computing, took a tour of the supercomputer data center, and engaged in hands-on activities with scienti�c augmented reality technologies such as, virtual reality headsets and mobile applications.


Anchored in ChristOn Friday, November 4, the faculty and sta� participated in their annual fall retreat. �e theme of the retreat this year was “Anchored in Christ.”

�e day started o� with a beautiful prayer service, followed by a speaker from Catholic Relief Services. A�er that, there was a quick trivia game centered on facts about TCHS, and then, as teams, they participated in several acts of community service. When the day was over the faculty and sta� had made nine casseroles for Our Daily Bread, 134 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for Sarah’s Hope, twelve blankets for the SPCA/Project Linus, twelve rosaries for soldiers, four batches of cookies for Asylee Women, handmade and decorated cards for retired sisters of St. Francis, cleaned up our TCHS gardens and joined our neighbors to help clean up their neighborhood by �lling over a dozen trash bags!

Community Service�roughout the year, Catholic High students participate in many community service activities. Again this year, members of Student Council facilitated several activities during the holiday season.

For many years, it has been a tradition to participate in the Festival of Trees established by the Kennedy Krieger Institute. When the tree gets sold, the funds go to children with disabilities who are served by the Kennedy Krieger Institute.

In addition, Student Council runs our Annual Adopt a Family Christmas Project. As a school community we adopted 20 families from St. Gregory the Great Parish in Baltimore City. Each homeroom class as well as the faculty and sta� provided gi�s,

a Christmas meal and a $20.00 gi� card for a turkey to each of the adopted families. With the help of our Student Council and additional volunteer students and teachers, all gi�s were wrapped and tagged and all food items were packaged for each family. �e next morning, these gi�s were delivered by our Cub buses to St. Gregory’s for distribution.

Additional community service activities during the holiday season included our cheerleaders’ participation in Wreaths Across America, and our National English Honor Society members’ participation in Operation Gratitude in which they wrote letters to active and veteran U.S. military members, as well as �rst responders to be included in care packages.

Art Students Participate in the Memory Project�e Memory Project is a unique initiative in which art students create portraits for abandoned, orphaned and neglected children and teens from around the world to let them know they are not forgotten. �e National Art Honor Society students received 25, 8x10 photos to work from to create a special portrait for the children in locations throughout Colombia. �e “Memory Project” portraits became a vehicle of compassion to an unknown child.

Senior Serves as Page to the House of Delegates

Senior Veronica Woodring had the honor of spending time in Annapolis in the General Assembly as a Legislative Page. Each year, 105 high school seniors in Maryland are given the opportunity to learn about their state’s legislative process �rsthand by serving as student pages in the Senate and House of Delegates during the annual session of the Maryland General Assembly. A page’s duties include updating legislators’ bill books, answering the phone, assisting State House visitors, distributing materials on the �oor to members, and running myriad errands.

explained, “Being able to connect with the children from the Memory Project in Colombia was truly a blessing. It is amazing to see how much my artwork can impact someone’s life in such a positive way. I’m happy to be able to give such a special, sentimental gi� to the children and see the happiness it brings to their faces.”

Julia Stanitski ’17 described the experience as special and personal. “�e Memory Project was so special to me and my classmates because it allowed us to become very closely connected with the children we were drawing. �rough the months we were working on the portraits, we came to appreciate the di�erences in these Columbian children and know each and every one of them personally.”

Our visual arts teacher, Mrs. Elaine Hummel, heard about the Memory Project through her School Arts subscription last fall. Since then, our National Arts Honors Society students have created portraits for the “Memory Project” every year. “I wanted to participate in a project that would make a di�erence in a world that seems so overwhelmed by negativity. I wanted to show our students how small things can mean so much to a child half way around the world by using their gi�s of artistic ability,” Mrs. Hummel shared.

Beautiful Me Week 2017On Tuesday, February 21 we began our traditional “Beautiful Me Week,” a week long initiative which was created to help raise awareness of eating disorders and body image issues. It’s also a week where we completely embraced the idea of loving ourselves. �e theme for the entire week was “Beauty in everyBODY.” Each day then had a di�erent focus and activity associated with it to encourage positivity and positive self image.

Tuesday was “Take a Compliment Tuesday.” Posters were hung throughout the hallways of Catholic High with compliments on them. Students, faculty and sta� were encouraged to take a compliment o� of the posters for either themselves or to encourage another.

Wednesday was “Work it Wednesday.” During Common Homeroom, students were given a template (similar to a gingerbread man) and asked to decorate it with positive mantras, stickers, etc. �ey could either hang it outside of their homerooms or take it with them each day as a reminder to think positive about themselves!

�ursday was “Trash Your Insecurities �ursday.” Slips of paper were given out during homeroom for students to write down one of their insecurities. �ey were then instructed to “trash them” throughout the day by putting them in the trash can outside of the main o�ce.

Friday was “Fearless Friday” and focused on taking a moment to breathe and to be yourself! Students, faculty and sta� were encouraged to dress down in purple in support of those who are dealing with eating disorders and low body image/low self esteem.



Who Won the TCHS Mission Award for the 2016-2017 School Year?

Catholic High held its annual Employee Recognition Liturgy on �ursday, May 4 in honor of our 56 employees for their ministry in education at �e Catholic High School of Baltimore. Reverend Ron Zoubek presided over the liturgy and members of the faculty/sta� served as greeters, ushers, cross bearers, candle bears, o�ertory, Eucharistic ministers, and the choir.

During this time, we recognized the recipient of the Mission Award which is given each year to an employee who exempli�es Catholic High’s Franciscan identity and values. �is year’s Mission Award was given to Mr. Steve Cole!

Mr. Cole was described by his colleagues as someone who constantly goes above and beyond the requirements, working countless extra hours throughout the school year and summer. He exempli�ed the mission of Catholic High and challenged his students to give their best. Mr. Cole was well-respected and admired for all that he did for Catholic High as a department chair, moderator of It’s Academic and the Robotics Team and coordinator of the STEM program, and he truly encourages his students to let their light shine.

Mr. Cole sadly passed away at the end of the school year. He will truly be missed and we are thankful for the time we had with him here at Catholic High.

In addition, the following employees were recognized for their years of dedicated service to our school.

For 5 years of service: Mrs. Kathleen Daniels & Mrs. Val ShinskyFor 10 years of service: Mrs. Linda DeRemigis & Mr. Andrew PatrickFor 20 years of service: Mrs. Karen MitchellFor 25 years of service: Mrs. Elaine Hummel

Miss Catholic High & May Crowning

On May 12, 2017 we celebrated the Blessed Mother Mary with our continued tradition of the May Crowning prayer service. The morning began with a breakfast reception for Alumnae, Seniors and their parents. Sr. Mary Kathryn Dougherty, OSF and Dr. Barbara D. Nazelrod then presided over the ceremony.

In keeping with Catholic High’s tradition, Miss Catholic High, Maria Kelly ‘17, was honored with the crowning of Mary. Maria was chosen as Miss Catholic High on May 10 for consistently displaying academic excellence, responsible leadership, and Christian community service over the past four years at Catholic High.

Maria stated, “Being named Miss. Catholic High was one of, if not the, greatest honors I received during my high school career. It was such a blessing to be able to have crowned the Blessed Mother, who had such strong faith and love for God and others. As I prepare to graduate with the title of Miss Catholic High, I will have that special connection to Mary and be able to go out in the world with her example as a guide.”

Each member of Maria’s court also played a special role in the crowning of Mary and bore witness to this special moment. The court included our Freshman of the Year, Olivia Russell, Sophomore of the Year, Erika Maher, and Junior of the Year, Heather Bertling.
