Wow! What a great start to the 2009-10 school year! We have an incredible student body, faculty, and staff. This fall we had over 51% of our student body participating in fall sports. As a result, our student-athletes have reached heights never before seen since competing in the Northern Nevada “AAAA” conference. Michelle Mowry placed fourth in the State Cross Country Meet. We won Regional Championships in Boys Soccer and Girls Golf. The soccer team eventually lost a close and hard fought match to Bishop Gorman of Las Vegas in the state semifinals by a score of 4-3 and our golf team placed third in the state tournament. We won league championships in Boys Soccer, Girls Golf, Girls Cross Country, Boys Tennis, and Girls Volleyball. However, we are most proud of our athletic teams that won Academic State Championships in Football, Volleyball, and Runner-up in Boys Soccer.

In addition to our athletic accomplishments, the Miner Detail staff received six top awards at the University of Nevada Journalism Day. The 2009 Bishop Manogue yearbook was

inducted into Walsworth Publishing Company’s Gallery of Excellence. The Gallery of Excellence is a showcase of the finest yearbooks produced by Walsworth customers. Also, the Bishop Manogue Catholic High School Speech and Debate program was recognized in the top 10% of chapters nationwide and qualified for the National Forensic League’s “100 Club”.

The 2009 Homecoming was a huge success as we welcomed back alumni and parents of alumni. The Homecoming week culminated in the Homecoming dance which was attended by more than 75% of our student body. We are now in the midst of kicking our winter sports and Academic Team into full gear and we are anticipating the same amount of success over the next few months.

We continue to surpass the state and national averages on the SAT and ACT college admission tests. We are graduating 99% of our students and continue to send our students to some of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the country. Bishop Manogue Catholic High School is not

only alive and well, it is thriving. Like I said, we have an incredible student body, faculty, and staff. I strongly encourage you to visit us at any time. Sit down with myself, a faculty or staff member, or any of our students and discuss what we are doing to make Bishop Manogue the most sought after school in northern Nevada. I look forward to our time together.

Tim Jaureguito Principal

Memories are important. Last year we celebrated our 60th year as a Catholic high school in Reno. The last issue of our Miner Messenger featured special memories Bishop Manogue alums had of teachers who were important to them over the years. We hope you enjoyed their reminiscences.

This issue we feature an article on Monsignor Ben Williams, another faculty member who was a beloved institution here. Monsignor Leo McFadden and Father Chuck Durante, who was a student of Monsignor Williams, share their memories of this long time faculty icon.This issue of our Miner Messenger also

features other memories. Some of our alumni recall happy aspects of their high school experience at Bishop Manogue in print here. We hope their remarks trigger similar sentiments with you.

How many of us remember or know the important role of our Bishops in the birth, life and existence of our school? These memories are important too.

As everyone knows, we are named after a Bishop, Patrick Manogue—former miner, former pastor in Virginia City, and former Bishop of Sacramento when Sacramento had jurisdiction over our area in Nevada.

Who was the Bishop who had the vision and the initiative to found our school in 1948? It was Bishop Thomas Gorman, originally installed as the first Bishop of Reno when the Diocese was separately created in 1931. We give thanks for Bishop Gorman. (A 1950 graduate of Bishop Manogue, Thomas Gorman Magee, was named after the Bishop. Tom’s children and grandchildren continue to support Bishop Manogue).

After Bishop Gorman was transferred to Dallas, Texas, his successor in Reno, Bishop Robert Dwyer, saw the need for expansion and moved Bishop Manogue to “the hill”, northeast of the University of Nevada. This campus opened its schoolroom doors in

the fall of 1957 and served the community through 2004 when we moved to our present site. We give thanks for Bishop Dwyer. (Bishop Dwyer also initiated Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas).

As the school on the hill began to bulge at the seams, and as it showed evidence of need for extensive, expensive repair and maintenance, Bishop Phillip Straling made the bold decision to build the new school – the third Bishop Manogue edifice. Our beautiful new facility opened in the fall of 2004. We give thanks for Bishop Straling.

Bishop Randolph Calvo, our current Bishop of Reno, continues to support Bishop Manogue Catholic High School personally and institutionally. Bishop Calvo serves as a member of our Board of Directors and maintains a keen interest in our fulfilling our mission. We give thanks for Bishop Calvo.

It is a good thing to remember fellow classmates, teachers, staff, and also our Bishops.

Peace and Blessings!

Jim Toner President


At the Northern Nevada Forensics League’s most recent tournament, held at McQueen High School, the debate team’s success fell short in terms of number compared to their last tournament, but its senior as well as junior members still gave a strong showing in their respective events. Spencer Kales and Joey Robertson broke to final rounds and placed over all in their individual speech events. Spencer Kales took second place in Novice Domestic Extemp with Joey Robertson taking first place in Senior Original Oratory. According to Head Coach Uglade, many members were close to breaking but fell short by only a few points. “There were many good efforts, [but in the end] only two broke.”

The team fared a little better with three members placing in both Congress format and Public Forum. Novice Alexandra Tsatsos surprisingly took second place overall in her chamber, as this was her first time competing in Congress. The team of Joey Robertson and Brennan McNamara then proceeded to sweep the Senior Public Forum finals and take first place

overall, with Robertson winning First Place Speaker Points for Senior PF as well. Though there wasn’t widespread success among Manogue’s competitors, the team has been steadily improving.

Of the groups sent to debate this year, this was the largest team to compete so far. As the team begins to consolidate, more and more Manogue competitors have been able to participate since the beginning of the debate season. “[It] demonstrates consistency,” states Mr. Ugalde. Consistency in competition will give way to consistency in performance. This year’s team is composed mainly of novices that have shown a great aptitude early on, as displayed by the last tournament’s results. While showing positive skills, this new team still needs to work on striving to continually improve and developing the aforementioned consistency in performance. From this currently developing consistency stems the team’s future success statewide, as Manogue will compete with other schools in Nevada for the awards of overall best in forensics events.

Financial Status ReportThe 2009-2010 school year has been a challenging one.Challenging not only for the school, but also for our Bishop Manogue family as a whole.

Our forecast, when we prepared the budget for this current school year, projected that we would be facing difficult financial times for an indefinite period. We cut or froze costs everywhere possible. We are diligent about staying within our budget. Our largest budget item is always salary expense. For the 2009-2010 school year, all salary increases and hiring were frozen. For anyone who chose to retire, we calculated ways to cover that position in lieu of hiring a new employee. At the same time, we have been very conscious about providing a quality education, preparing students for their life ahead, and not cutting in any area which would be to the detriment of students’ education.

Due to the nature of the times, many of our families are suffering. Tuition assistance demands were up this year, not only in numbers of families asking for aid, but in the amount needed per family. With enrollment down by approximately 7%, and donors also affected by the economic climate, it has been a most challenging year trying to serve families’ needs. We have many families who have seen loss of income due to reduced hours at work, job loss overall, or home foreclosures. Thanks to our donors, the tuition assistance we were able to award this year approximates $380,000.

Since we are a non-profit organization, there is no cushion in our budget for fees not paid. We spend every penny that families pay for tuition and fees

on expenses to run the school. It is critical that tuition balances receive utmost attention. Any tuition not paid, means bills of the school can not be paid. We are committed to working with those who need assistance in creating a workable plan for tuition, but a plan must be in place. Non-payment of tuition and fees within any given school year is not acceptable, nor is it fair to those families who are paying.

As it is, our tuition of $8,500 does not cover the true cost of education at Bishop Manogue. The true cost is $10,760—a GAP of $2,260.

Bishop Manogue would not exist as we know it today if not for our wonderful donors. Those who make a $25 donation, those who pay the GAP, those who donate towards tuition assistance, and those who pay towards the principal reduction of our debt, all are very important members of our family.

With the help of our donors, we have been able to make principal payments towards the debt totaling over $330,000 so far this fiscal year! This money does not come from current tuition funds. This is paid from money donated to Bishop Manogue specifically to pay toward debt reduction. We honor our donors’ wishes and we would like to thank them for their amazing generosity, especially during these difficult financial times. Despite the challenging economic times, we have been able to install solar panels in place to cut energy costs. For $50,000 we were able to obtain a system worth some $665,000 street value. Half of the solar panels cost, or $25,000, has been pledged

to be paid by a generous donor. We are still looking for a donor(s) for the second half, but as a last resort, we can pay the balance out of our cost savings of some $24,000 per year. Over time, we estimate a huge cost savings to the school—the “gift that keeps on giving.”

Enrollment is a vital key to Bishop Manogue’s success. Our students and families who believe in Catholic education are what keep this school going. When enrollment climbs, we are able to increase our financial aid program. We ask your assistance in spreading the word about what benefits the faith based education at Bishop Manogue provides. Bishop Manogue is a great investment for life, here and hereafter.

Looking forward to next year, we see our Bishop Manogue families continuing to struggle. We will be developing our budget for next year knowing that we again face a fine line between cost of tuition and payment of expenses.

We appreciate each and every family for the sacrifices that you make, both financially and otherwise for a Catholic education.

Financial Status Report


I would tell you a story. Everyone loves a story.

Years ago, a teenage lad rang the doorbell at the rectory of the Cathedral of the Magdaleine at 331 East Temple Street in Salt Lake City. The Rector of the Cathedral, Monsignor Robert J. Dwyer, opened the door — and in the years to come — he opened more than a door!

The young lad was Benedict Williams, who played the cello in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and he asked the Monsignor if he could receive instructions to become a Catholic.

Fast-forward now to another Cathedral, St. Thomas Aquinas at 310 West Second Street in Reno, Nevada where, on a bright some spring day in 1960, the former Salt Lake Monsignor, Robert J. Dwyer, now the second Bishop of the Diocese of Reno, ordained to the Catholic priesthood for the Church in Nevada two young men: Albert Fosselman, now retired in Reno; and Benedict Williams.

During their many years of service in Nevada, they were always addressed by their well-earned titles as “Father.” But of course, among their priest friends, they were simply Al and Ben. But there was

more to it than that. In the early sixties there was a TV cartoon which featured a dog known as Augie-Doggie and another character known as Boo-Boo. Now, the dog wore a little goatee, and so did Al. So appropriately, Father Fosselman became to us “The Dawg” and Father Williams was known as “Boo-Boo”. But not to Bishop Dwyer! He always called his Utah convert: Benedict.

Benedict, “the Blessed One,” and blessed he was to all who came under his purview. When your President of Manogue, Jim Toner, asked me to prepare a script on the 29 years of “Boo-Boo’s” life among us as a priest, I was a bit tentative. By that I mean would I dis-edify anyone if I really told some of the stories of the hilarity and the somber tones he injected into his priesthood for all to see? But then, knowing Ben as I do, the old motto hit me, “damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.”

Singularities, hilarity and solemn moments which try to sum up Ben’s life:

• At St. Thomas Aquinas Cathedralhe was not only the director of the finest Catholic choir in all of Nevada during his time, he was a composer of liturgical Plain Chant and a Master extraordinaire organist.

• The29yearsofpriesthoodhewouldbe allowed – only one of them was spent as a parish priest at St. Joseph’s in Elko. The other 28 years were to preside in what I call the three “Cs.”

• The Classroom at his belovedManogue on Valley Road where he was the teacher of History, Religion and Drama.

• TheChoirloftattheCathedralwithhis superb choir.

• The Counseling room at theCathedral.

I must insert here a very serious evaluation of Ben’s priesthood. He did not invent laughter as his trademark, although it was always in his inner soul and burst out from him his entire life. But there was a profundity, a depth within him which had the ability to reach to the very bottom of another person’s anguish and turmoil. By that, I mean this young lad from Salt Lake City could mello masterfully on the cello and transcend the heavens with blasting crescendos from the classics on his organ, but he could also listen in quietude to the dolors of those who sought his guidance in very troubled times.

We Remember Ben WilliamsBy Msgr. Leo E. McFadden

Monsignor Benedict Williams served the Bishop Manogue community for 27 years until his death in 1989. He was a most beloved faculty member. A memorial stone and spruce tree

near the entrance to Bishop Manogue commemorates his service. Each Christmas the spruce tree is lit in further memory of Msgr. Williams’ great love for Christmas. Here two brother priests, each with their own strong connections to Bishop Manogue, remind us of the goodness of Monsignor Williams.


Monsignor Benedict Williams was known by many names around Bishop Manogue Catholic High School, including Fr. Ben, Fr. Boo-Boo (a nickname dubbed by his brother priests for his emotional nature), Uncle Ben and, most often, just plain Fr. Williams.

He liked the latter one the best and fittingly so for it fit his dignified nature (well, at least most of the time) and his role as father figure to our school and thousands of families over the decades. One memory that captures Fr. Williams’ passion and talent most clearly for me is the annual Christmas Program, complete with live crèche, including angels, kings, shepherds and, of course, Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. The baby changed gender from year to year depending on the availability of a newborn to play the part.

The Christmas program quickly became a treasured Reno tradition over the years, a tradition he continued until the last year or two of his life when his health no longer allowed him the strength. Everyone knew come November that Fr. Williams would be practicing Christmas music in his classroom, seemingly around the clock. I’m not

sure how his fellow teachers tolerated it, but just about any kid could tell a teacher, “I’m going to sing with Fr. Williams” and, short of a test or other “unmissable” event, the teachers would reluctantly (or, depending on the student, happily) send him or her off to Room 3B. I say “just about” any kid because if Fr. Williams got ticked off at you for goofing around during practice, you were promptly ejected “for the rest of your life” (or at least until tomorrow). Every student was welcome to participate in the Christmas program and one of the things that made it remarkable was that just about every student did. There’s nothing like a crowd of three or four hundred teens dressed in their best holiday attire belting out “Do You Hear What I Hear” (it took forever for the boys to get the echo right). In spite of the students who were tone deaf or had the rhythm of a brick, it always sounded magnificent and warmed the hearts of parents and friends beyond telling. It also gave the students a special place and a special way to celebrate the birth of the Savior.

Of course the Christmas program was never a sure thing. Every year, some time between the week before the event and the night of, Fr. Williams would swear he was going to cancel it. Furious that kids weren’t cooperating, that he was not respected and the whole thing was wasting his time, he would announce to especially naive, wide-eyed Freshmen, that it was over this year. Usually thrown in with that was an oath that this “is the last year I’m doing this!” But, of course, every early November, it would all start up again.

Fr. Williams was a brilliant musician and composer, a studied religion teacher, a poet and a passionate preacher. He loved Christmas and the annual ritual of the program enriched the lives of countless numbers of people. It also showed his humor, his wit and his ability to teach even amidst apparent chaos. His insight and mere presence were a constant lesson for the students at Bishop Manogue. A lesson that always sprang forth from his palpable love for God, for Jesus and for Jesus’ mother, Mary: that is, that no matter what, we are always loved by God, we are never forgotten and love sustains all things.

Just Plain Father Williams

By Fr. Chuck Durante

I told you he was ordained in 1960, and that was about the time our nation’s youth — and in Reno town — began experimenting in drugs, and there soon followed the protests against the war in Vietnam across our county — and in Reno town — and soon thereafter came the deaths of so many of our young teenagers as victims of drugs and war.

Benedict Williams, a simple Reno priest, somehow became a sought-out haven and counselor for so many teenagers in trouble in our local area, and too many times the celebrant at too many of their funerals.

Allow me to conclude my tribute to Monsignor Benedict Williams in perhaps his most favorite haunt – the Cathedral choir loft.

He was the director of the choir, of course, but when the choir would go down to Communion, he would take over the organ. As I told you, he was a masterful organist, but there was always a bit of an imp in him. He would begin an etude on the organ, but if Bishop Daniel Walsh was celebrating, he would always slip in a few bars of “Danny Boy.” Or if he knew I was on ceremonies, I could expect him to greet me with “I Will Take You Home Again, Kathleen,” my mom’s favorite song.

But now to the finale: ever theatrical, whether at his musical productions at Manogue over the years, or from the Cathedral choir loft, he often offered his vibrant choir as a recession “Climb Every Mountain,” and the congregation always stayed in the church to applaud.

But in his waning years he was too weak to climb those stairs to the choir loft. Makes no never mind, when that happened, Brother Ignatius simply took him in his strong arms and carried him up there.

But then on July 29, 1989, even stronger arms wafted him heavenward.

A long-standing scholarship in honor of Msgr. Williams awards $1,000 to a deserving Bishop Manogue student each year. Contributions to the fund are welcome.


“…was the relationships between the students. We grew up together because most of us had attended St. Thomas Aquinas Grade School. Our class contained less than 50 students when we graduated. Manogue was a place you were comfortable to be yourself. “When I think about Bishop Manogue High School, I remember the peaceful setting along the Truckee River. We attended classes, held dances and other events in the Flick Ranch building. The classrooms were located upstairs and library and gigantic living room were on the main floor. Our indoor sports games and chemistry classroom were in the gym to the west of the school. “My class spent three years at the ‘old Manogue’ before moving to the new campus on the hill. The class of 1958 was the first to graduate in the gym in the huge school building.

Patricia (Patty) Dillon Cafferata, ‘58

“I liked the school size and the class size. We had a very close-knit group. We formed permanent, lasting friendships and still get together. I have

happy memories of all four years.”Theodore Herzchel ‘60

“What I liked about BMCHS (the older version):

1. Friends 2. Hilltop location 3. Chapel,

especially stained glass windows and tile floors

4. Dominican sisters 5. Size 6. Homines sicut montes

Not a bad line.

7. Courses and a faculty concerned about student performance

8. Vibrant Catholic identityDonald Briel, Ph.D., ‘65

“The greatest thing about Manogue is the sense of community. I tell friends from public schools how you can mention to another Manogue alumnus or their family where you went to high school, and you are automatically “in”. The “in” is far beyond mere networking or contacts. It is a family. It is also a sense of pride and tradition that molds the Catholic faith in with excellent athletics and education. I have always thought that one of the luckiest things that ever happened to me was going to Manogue, and getting to join this huge family.

“I came to Manogue in my junior year from Fallon, after my family moved to Reno. At that time, Fallon had great athletes, with very good basketball

programs. Their football had not taken off after many years with the same coach. Chris Ault had begun his career as an assistant in Fallon, and then moved to Manogue to begin a dynasty. The first time I saw Coach Ault, he had 8th graders in a PE class doing “V-ups” on asphalt with military precision, making my friends and I wonder, “Who is this guy?” When I played my first game with Manogue in the AA League, we were ahead by a wide margin. I knew things were different when a running back from the other school, after being tackled, said, ‘You can’t beat these guys…they have God on their side!’ Nevada was much smaller back in 1972, and my family still got the Fallon paper. They had an article about the upcoming big game with Manogue, where their coach said the biggest threat was Manogue’s wide receiver, Steve Senini. I gave the paper to the coaches. We always had a special play for the start of the game. The coach told Steve to go out wide to the right. He then grabbed Pierre Hascheff by the facemask and told

him, “You go straight out to the left down the sideline, and don’t you dare drop it”. Dave Fleiner, the quarterback, faked a pass to Steve and turned and threw the ball to Pierre. A touchdown and another win on the way to a championship. “My time at Manogue fostered lifetime friendships with wonderful people.”

Roger Whomes, ‘73

“The education and the teachers. One of the happiest memories I have about Bishop Manogue is Carl Vinci—a positive role model and motivator

who took us to a state championship in football; also my classmates —many who have been life long friends.”

William Zamboni, M.D. ‘76

1. Being surrounded by motivated people who despite occasional goofing off, really are focused on learning and becoming better people.

2. The caring teachers who know every student and chose to be at Manogue.

3. A sense of belonging to a group with common faith and many times going back to first grade with the same people. Even now, 32 years later, it’s an instant bond to find another Manogue grad in the community.”

Some happy memories include “learning to sew in Mrs. Caskey’s class in the gym basement, bowling at Sterling Village, Senior Shanghai Day when we Junior girls woke up Senior girls at home and took them downtown in their pajamas, and funniest was Brother Ignatius doing his “Disco Duck” at the Talent Show finale.”

Ingrid Lubbers, DDS ‘78

BestAbout Bishop Manogue…”“What I Liked


”

About Bishop Manogue…”

“What I liked best about Bishop Manogue was the tremendous sense of family and the feeling that, as students at Manogue, we were special. That sense

of specialness created a bond unlike anything I have experienced since.“My happiest memory of Bishop Manogue is the spontaneous celebration with students and parents in the cafeteria after winning the football state championship in 1982.”

James Cavilia, Esq. ‘83

“During my four years at Manogue, the laughs and jokes were abundant, yet complimented by academic challenges and life lessons. When I sat down to write about some of my fondest memories, I recalled many incidences, mostly good, some not so good, but all of them circled back to the friends and family that I shared them with. One of the best gifts I was given during my time at Manogue was true friendships. I am fortunate that I still see and keep in contact with many of my classmates, but I realized just recently at our 20 year class reunion that the Manogue “bond” that was built in the hallways, the gym, the cafeteria and sports fields, and most importantly, the Chapel, is something truly unique and special. I am grateful that I was given the opportunity as part of the Manogue family to have been given a gift that goes well beyond its’ four walls.“Some of my fondest memories include Religion class with Father Williams and Ms. Monahan. To this day there are many of their inspirational “talks” or advice that I call on in my daily life. The senior hall, where else could you see freshmen making animal sounds standing inside a garbage can on a regular basis?”

Jenifer O’Gorman Madole, ‘88

“One of my favorite memories was from the 1994 state basketball tournament when the Miners rallied to win from a 27-0 deficit to start the game. It may be the largest margin overcome to begin a game in the history of the tournament. I was fortunate to be the starting guard on that team.

Frank Martinez, Jr., ‘94

“The sense of community I felt when I went to Manogue. I loved the parent involvement. I felt like the teachers really cared about each student’s academic success. And I made some amazing friends, some of whom I’m still friends with today. And I loved that Mr. Sullivan the principal at the time, really took an interest in getting to know all the students who attended Manogue!“One of the happiest memories I have about Bishop Manogue is my History teacher, Mr. Flanagan, singing Kenny Rogers “The Gambler” (my maiden name was Gamble) every time he called my name to take role for the class.”

Erika Gamble Reed, ‘98

“What I liked best about Manogue is that Manogue is a community. You do not leave Manogue when you graduate any more than you leave your family when you move away. Rather your thoughts

and prayers are always with those you no longer see and that place that was your home. “Some of my fondest memories of Manogue are from returning to Reno after speech and debate tournaments. The most profound

impression those trips left on me is that no matter how diverse our views, strengths and personalities, we were there for each other.”

James Carrico, ‘02

“My favorite aspect of Manogue was that it didn’t ostracize what most people consider “nerds”. Manogue is different. Here, the students aren’t afraid to take advantage of the teachers’ before or after school extra help sessions, or be seen on breaks thumbing through one of their AP books. Students at Manogue aren’t hazed for being smart, they’re supported. And through that support, they go on with a very sturdy foundation into the rest of their lives.“My fondest memories are two: when Nick Altieri and I pranked the Yearbook staff for April Fool’s. The two of us convinced them, through the use of a fake press release and the invaluable assistance of Mr. Jaureguito, the yearbook advisor Mrs. Verzola, the newspaper advisor Mrs. Crawford, and my Latin/English teacher, Mrs. Florea, that no yearbook would be distributed this year because the publishing plant for the school’s yearbook had burned down. Best part, we got it on camera- hidden of course.“And also when Cassie Smith and I won 4th place and finished best out of the Northern Nevada schools in Duo Interpretation at the Nevada State Speech and Debate Tournament in Las Vegas. (Duo Interpretation is a presentation in which two competitors interpret a published piece in less than ten minutes. No props can be used and the two cannot look or touch each other).

It doesn’t seem that long ago when Kevin Jepsen’s (‘02) fans consisted of parents, Manogue faculty and

students catching a game at the “Our Lady of Victory Field” on the old Manogue campus. After being picked by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the 2nd round of the 2002 Major League Baseball

Draft, Jepsen had a successful run in the minor leagues. He earned his first All Star selection when playing for the Salt Lake Bees and Arkansas Travelers. In that time he held a combined 3-4 record, 13 saves, a 1.87 earned run average and a total of 55 strikeouts. He was then selected to play in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

On September 8, 2008, 6 years after graduating from Manogue, Jepsen made his major league debut against the New York Yankees. That season he pitched a total of 9 games. This past year, 2009, was Jepsen’s first full major –league season. The Angels won their third straight American League west title but lost to the Yankees (the 2009 World Champions) in the American League Championship. Jepsen’s final record for 2009 was an Earned Run Average of 4.94, 17 holds, 48 strikeouts and WHIP of 1.5.

Jepsen’s journey to the major leagues hasn’t been without tragedy. Nearly six years ago his father Randy passed away and he lost teammate Nick Adenhart in a fatal car accident last April. “He’s not intimidated by any situation” Manager Mike Sciocia said in an Los Angeles Times article. “He’s acclimated himself to what his talent can do and he is very comfortable with it.”

This past November, Jepsen and his fiancée were married in Mexico. He will join The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for spring training beginning March 4, in Tempe Arizona. To follow Jepsen’s stats and the for more information on the Los Angeles Angels visit http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com.

It has been a truly busy fall in Campus Ministry. We began our fall with two days of freshmen retreat. This was a great opportunity for the freshmen to get to know their new classmates, their new school, and Campus Ministry a little better. We had eighty upperclassmen, peer leaders give their time to making this a great success. To lead the upperclassmen had to commit to being a model for freshmen throughout the year, and we are very proud that so many decide to take that pledge.

On the service front we had a record number of participants for the Cardboard Box City, having almost ten times the number of participants of any other group. We managed to raise $10,000 for Family Promise, a group that works for homeless families in the Reno/Sparks community. We will continue our connection to Family Promise this spring when we host

families overnight on our campus. We are also in the midst of heavy planning for our first school-wide service day as a part of our Holy Week observation in late March.

Retreats continue to impact and change students’ lives at Bishop Manogue. In addition to a very successful fall Kairos and Quest, we had our inaugural Choices retreat in December. Choices is a retreat for sophomores and juniors that helps students to examine their decision making process through a lens of faith. Students raved about the opportunity to explore their decisions and learn how to become the person they want to be by making better decisions. We are currently preparing for our Winter Kairos, Choices, and Quest retreats and know that they will continue to strengthen our students relationship with themselves, others, and most importantly God.

If you are interested in getting involved with any thing that Campus Ministry does, or maybe have a special prayer or liturgical need, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you to all who have supported us and continue to do so. God bless you all, and may God continue to bless our amazing school.

Bishop Manogue strives to provide a holistic educational experience for tomorrow’s leaders in developing their mind, body, and spirit. We have excellent academic, spiritual, and athletic programs. We have outstanding faculty. We have quality facilities that provide an inspiring learning environment. All we need is you to complete our picture!

Bishop Manogue receives no funding from the government. We look to you, our extended family of parents, alumni, and friends to cover the difference between the education costs for students and tuition. We ask you to support the Bishop Manogue Annual Appeal. Think of your donation as a thank you or as an investment in future leaders. Either way, know that it will always be remembered by those who benefit from your generosity.

GAP

There Is One GAP in Your Child’s Education. The cost per student is approaching $11,000 per year. Bishop Manogue’s tuition is less than 80% of the actual cost. We rely on parent donations, fundraisers, bookstore, and lunch program revenue to cover the GAP, a total of $1,530,000 each year.

Each year parents ask – What Should I Give? $2,260 per student is needed to close the “GAP” between education costs and tuition. To maximize your pledge we encourage paying monthly, quarterly, or annual installments. When deciding what amount works best for you, please consider that we request that GAP contributions be paid within our July 1 – June 30 fiscal year. For your convenience payment schedules

can be customized to fit your needs: one-time payment, twice a year, 10 monthly payments (Sept – June), etc. Payment can be by Check, American Express, VISA, MasterCard, Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT), or Stock Transfers.

FREqUENTLy ASkED qUESTIoNS

What is Annual Giving? With education costs continuing to escalate year after year, Annual Giving contributions – gifts to Annual Fund, Special Donations – all go to pay for operating costs of the school. These “annual” contributions help offset the difference between actual cost of education and the amount parents are charged for tuition.

Why not just raise the tuition? In keeping with our commitment to remain affordable and accessible to all students, Bishop Manogue charges a tuition less than the cost of education. This results in a shortfall, which is made up through gifts to the Annual Fund and other fundraising efforts.

If tuition was raised to the actual cost of education, this approach would place too large of a burden on parents, and would make it impossible for many students to have the opportunity to receive a Catholic education. Parents who donate the GAP amount benefit at income tax time.

Who Gives To The Annual Fund? All Bishop Manogue Catholic High School families are asked! We also reach out to all alumni parents, alumni and other friends of Bishop Manogue through appeal letters, visits and phone calls.

Annual gifts are used for recruitment and retention of excellent faculty, curriculum improvement, and support of co-curricular activities – including athletics, fine arts, campus ministry, Christian service, and financial aid. All contributions are fully tax deductible as charitable gifts to the extent provided by law.

This year’s Sodality food drive was a huge success. Sodality is a girl’s service group at Bishop Manogue. The food drive took place between Monday, November 2nd and Friday, November

13th. This year’s effort was a major success. Our school community collected over 4,500 items. Sodality collects non-perishable items and cash donations, which is then used to purchase grocery store gift cards so families can purchase perishable items. All of the proceeds were donated to Sister Carmen at Our Lady of the Snows who distributes the food to needy families in the community and Holy Child Day Home where several families have been identified as high need families.

ANNUAL APPEAL

Sodality Food Drive Update


Mr. Jaureguito reinstated the clean up day which had been a tradition when he attended

Manogue. He felt the time was ripe to do it again. “The students we have are trustworthy and involved...”

From the baseball fields to the school gyms, every homeroom class joined in to clean up Manogue’s campus. The school was divided into upperclassmen and lowerclassmen and each took turns either cleaning, attending Mass, or participating in “Pride Painting” (each class was assigned a different sports team to honor in posters).

At eight A.M. the school began its day of pride with the seniors and juniors attending a mass celebrated by Father John Legerski. Sophomores participated in Pride Painting (their job was to make posters for the soccer and cross country teams), and the freshmen were on clean up duty.

“Painting was a lot of fun because I got to hang out with friends and we made posters for the teams,” exclaimed sophomore Jamie Proctor.

After each class had spent an hour at their first stations, they switched places. The upperclassmen cleaned and painted signs and the underclassmen celebrated Mass. The purpose of the clean up day was to generate pride and a sense of ownership among the students. It was also to make certain the campus looked amazing for all of the alumni returning for Homecoming.

“They look really good!” exclaimed Mallory Francis, a junior who worked on cleaning the baseball fields. Francis wasn’t alone in this positive attitude towards the cleanup results.

“It was a good idea because those bleachers were dirty. It got the students involved,” commented senior Kenzie Fogarty on her experience during Miner Pride Day.

During the second hour, while the juniors and seniors cleaned, the sophomores attended a Mass only for their class in the chapel and the freshman painted signs in front of the school for the cheerleaders, tennis teams, and golf teams.

At ten A.M. the classes switched for the final time before they headed to the Homecoming Rally. During this station, the seniors participated in Pride Painting. The seniors teamed up with each other to paint signs in the shape of jerseys for the varsity, JV, and freshman football teams. Juniors

followed the seniors and spent their time making posters in the shape of volleyballs for the volleyball teams who had a poster for every player. Some of the signs were also for the teams as a whole.

The sophomores spent the hour on cleanup duty cleaning various locations from the chapel pews (once the freshmen were no longer in Mass), to the library and students entrances.

Mrs. Thoreson organized the day. Mr. Jaureguito was pleased with the organization, the students, and the teachers. On the whole, the school ended up clean and the students succeeded in making the rally even more spirited with their sports posters.

one: in Chemistry class with Sr. Luke, who one day during her lecture pointed to a pile of papers she had put on the radiator and said, “The likelihood of such-and such happening is about the same as if that pile of papers suddenly burst into flame”. And then, of course, it did, to the great astonishment of the class. She had carefully planned the trick out, of course, and I’m sure she enjoyed our shocked reaction very much.

How do you keep in contact with Bishop Manogue Alumni? I’ve stayed friends with my high school

friends, and I also keep in touch with former teachers. I’ve visited Father Dwyer (English) in Ireland several times, served on Boards with Father Wolf (Algebra), and Father O’Donnell (French) married Mike and me.

For the past two years, Mike and I have been attending various alumni events (that Homecoming Tailgate is a blast!) and we really enjoy those.

How has Bishop Manogue shaped who you are today? I learned to think of the world as very

Catholic–I’m very open about my Faith and have never hesitated to show my Catholicity in either the workplace or volunteerism venues.

What advice would you give our graduating seniors? Do what’s right. No excuses. Read

Bishop Manogue Catholic High School enjoyed yet another successful and celebrated homecoming to commemorate 61 years of tradition, athletics and spiritual growth.

This year’s homecoming theme was “Bishop Manogue’s Fantasy Homecoming.” Each day, our students were able to dress up according the following themes:

Monday Wizard of Oz Tuesday Alice in Wonderland

Wednesday Nightmare Before Christmas Thursday Peter Pan Friday Jeans and Class Shirts

There are many activities for all of our faculty, students, and alumni to enjoy. Lunch games included a scavenger hunt, relay race, pumpkin decorating, and trivia. Evening activities included street painting, un-birthday party, roller skating, drive-in movie, bonfire and dance.

Homecoming week kicked off with a street painting event in which

all sports teams and clubs on the Manogue campus painted a square on the parking lot near the football field. The end result was a bright and spirited mural showcasing Manogue’s diverse student body. The faculty got involved as well and made squares for their departments. At the game, Manogue parents, students and fans could admire the fun artwork as they entered the field.

The Friday before the big game against the Fallon Greenwave included an alumni reception at the Tamarack Junction. Members from

all classes were invited for some drinks and appetizers to celebrate reunions, catch up with old friends and mingle with Manogue alums. At the school the bonfire was roaring for the entire student body. Starting a new tradition, the homecoming King was announced at the bonfire. Nominees Connor Sullivan, Steven Carlson, Robert Dolan, Dominic Gonzales, and Ryan Jones, read letters they had written to their mothers who escorted them on stage. Connor Sullivan was crowned Homecoming King 2009.

Saturday, all alumni were invited to the alumni tailgate in the south end zone of the football field. Around 50 alumni and their families enjoyed a barbeque and had an up close view of the game which resulted in a Miner victory of 44-0 against Churchill County High School Greenwave. At halftime the Homecoming nominees Sofia Anxo, Grace Anxo, Maude Ballinger, Sarah Oroz and Caitlin Sullivan made their way with their escorts to the middle of the field and awaited the announcement of the 2009 Homecoming Queen. Maude Ballinger was crowned Homecoming Queen 2009. The students all enjoyed the dance held in the small gymnasium on campus.

We are doing our part to be responsible stewards of God’s gift of creation. And in doing so we should save an estimated $24,000 per year at today’s energy rates.

How did Bishop Manogue Catholic High School decide to obtain solar panels? How did it happen? How expensive is it? How extensive is the paneling?

Over the course of the last two and one-half years, Bishop Manogue has been searching for ways to become more energy efficient and affect cost savings for the budget. Concurrently, we explored the possibility of “going solar,” but earlier

On a recent school day morning, while standing on the inscribed bricks of the alumni patio, a distinguished visitor looked upwards and

suddenly exclaimed, “Look! You have solar panels!” Needless to say, we share in our visitor’s excitement.

We share in this excitement because the addition of solar panels to generate electricity from sunlight is clean, renewable, environmentally sound, and after our initial investment, will mean considerable cost savings for years to come.

Solar Panels Promote Green And Gold


estimates of cost from commercial firms were prohibitive. Stimulated by the Bishop Manogue Facilities committee, chaired by Bishop Manogue alum Steve Benna, ’70, planning eventually became a reality. Brian Kernan, who served as the project manager for Q &D in the overall construction of this school, proved as a member of the Facilities committee to be indispensable with his assistance. Mr. Kernan, who is a parent of alumni, had worked with a non-profit solar company, Black Rock Solar, in the installation of solar panels on the roof of the Children’s Discovery Museum in Reno. He recognized the opportunity and the possibility of great economies working with the non-profit group. Mr. Tom Price, the Executive Director of Black Rock Solar, headquartered in San Francisco, served as a particularly helpful partner in the process.

Bishop Manogue’s facilities presented an almost ideal situation for installing the panels on our south facing roofs. Consultation with our structural engineer assured us the roofs could tolerate the extra weight, although we added additional fasteners to prevent any “drag effect” of the panels.

Prior to agreeing to proceed with the solar project, the school needed to obtain approval first from the Nevada Public Utilities Commission to install a 100 kilowatt system, as statutes only permit 50 kilowatt systems on high schools unless permission is given for any increase. We applied and received permission for the larger system.

Next, we applied to Nevada Energy to ensure we qualified for the substantial rebates possible on a 100 kilowatt system for Bishop Manogue. Nevada Energy approved the rebate. This approval was particularly critical because without the some $457,000 in rebates for the system it would not have been possible to proceed.

In September Mr. Price of Black Rock advised us that if we made the decision by October 1, he would guarantee Black Rock would supply and install 416 solar panels on the south facing roofs of the Auxiliary Gym, the Main Gym, and the Community Center. In addition,

Black Rock would supply and install the sophisticated inverter which converts direct current from the solar panels into alternating current to supplement the school’s overall energy consumption. Mr. Price quoted a total price for Bishop Manogue not to exceed $50,000 when the rebates are returned from Nevada Energy. The total system has an approximate “street value” of some $665,000, so the cost to Bishop Manogue is a remarkable bargain.

One reason for the discounted price on the panels was that with the stimulus money from the federal government for “green” projects, and for other reasons, there was a temporary glut on the market for the panels.

“Carpe diem,” or “seize the day,” “seize the opportunity” became the rallying cry.

A generous donor pledged $25,000 toward the $50,000 cost. Bishop Manogue continues to seek the second $25,000 or monies toward that amount, but in a worst case scenario, we will save almost that amount in one year anyway.

Estimated savings over a 25 year period will be some $600,000 at today’s rates, more than likely in excess of $1 million over 25 years with rate increases. As many have said, “this is a gift that keeps on giving”.

Maintenance costs are minimal. “The best thing about solar panels is that there are no moving parts” declared Mr. Richard Scott, Project Foreman. The panels decrease by about 1% efficiency every year and are under warranty.

The Bishop Manogue Board of Directors approved the project. Installation of the panels started in late October. Full functioning of the system was slightly delayed by the late delivery of the inverter. The inverter was connected to the school system Monday, December 21, and given final approval by Washoe County December 23, 2009. The system then became operational.

Bishop Manogue students followed the project closely. Mr. Scott of Black Rock Solar spoke to Mr. Schoolroy’s Physics class on the topic during the installation, and Mr. Toner spoke to Ms. Winzeler’s Environmental Science class on the economics of the system. An additional educational component of the system features a public monitor displaying in real time the carbon, energy and money savings being achieved.

Bishop Manogue Junior Paige dePolo wrote a front page article on the panels for the student publication, the Miner Messenger, stating in part, “Manogue embarked on an epic quest to save the planet, to live up to the cooler of the school colors, to combat environmental apathy, and to save some money. Yes, the school installed solar panels”.

The school colors of Bishop Manogue are green and gold. Going green with solar panels saves us some gold.

To celebrate the installation of the solar panels, the school has scheduled the dedication and blessing on Earth Day, April 22, 2010. The event will take place at 5:30pm at the school

with refreshments. Alumni, parents, students and friends are invited to the celebration.

nearly three years ago,on March 14, 2007, the Manogue community lost a dear family member. Jeanette Santos served as the caring mother to Herb (‘81), Joel (‘84) and Cory, loving wife to Herb, Sr., dear friend to her daughter-in-law, Kimberly, and cherished grandmother to Joey (‘09), future Manogue Alumni, Jarred (‘11) and Hannah (‘14).

Jan, as her friends called her, spent her life committed to helping others and sharing her compassion with her intermediate and extended families. Growing up as a foster child and being separated from her biological family, Jan was able to realize that family doesn’t always mean sharing the same last name or having the same color hair; it’s the relationships you make with others and the caring things you do for them that define the meaning of family.

Jan was a “Mom” to everyone, whether it was volunteering as a Hot Lunch Mom at Our Lady of The Snows or

taking in students who simply needed a good meal while away from home, to Jan, everyone was her friend and every friend was her family.

Helping others was Jan’s mantra; working as a nurse and then devoting her life to her family are what inspired Jan to serve to the local and Catholic community. Her summers were spent painting Our Lady of the Snows classrooms and helping the Sacred Heart Nuns teach summer bible school at St. Alberts. At Christmas she would take her “Musical Waves” classes (an aquatics class that helped people with physical disabilities) on trips to enjoy the lighted decorations around Reno and Carson. In the fall and spring months throughout her son’s schooling she would assist teachers whenever asked. Jan valued the importance of education for all students. She knew that faith, family and education were a winning combination for any student and exuded her passion for all three wherever she was. “Growing up, our mailbox would be full of thank you notes from various programs which helped children,” remembers Jan’s oldest son, Herb Santos Jr. “She was a true loving and caring ‘Mom’ for everyone.”

To continue the compassion and goodwill of Jan Santos, Jan’s son Herb Santos Jr. and his wife Kimberly have set up the Jan Santos Memorial Scholarship. Because Jan always made sure that when her sons were growing up, their friends always had a second home at her house; this scholarship’s purpose

is to help defray the first year costs of room and board while Manogue graduates are attending college.

The scholarship will be payable in the amount of $2,000 for the first college school year. Preference will be given to a Bishop Manogue student who attends the University of Nevada or UNLV, will be living in the dorms, and is a practicing Catholic. In addition, the student must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.8 or above, and submit an essay of 300-500 words on how their Catholic faith will help them through college. This scholarship reflects Jan’s giving and loving nature, and will be appreciated by Bishop Manogue graduates for years to come.

Manogue Alumnus Founds Scholarship


Tell us about your family. I have two brothers, Kyle and Keegan.

Kyle graduated from Manogue in 2007 and Keegan is currently a freshman. My dad, aunt, and uncle graduated from Manogue so it has been a school that is very close to my family.

What are your interests? I am really involved in golf and have

played at the varsity level all four years of high school. I played basketball and football, but gave them up to focus on golf and hopefully have a chance to play in college.

What do you like most about Bishop Manogue? I really like how close the Manogue

students are and how it has the feeling of being a family more than a school. The teachers are very helpful and are always there for us when we need them. Manogue is a place where kids can feel safe and it is a very friendly place to attend school.

What advice would you give incoming freshmen? I would say just don’t hold back. High

school goes by so fast and before you know it it’s over, so just get ready for the adventure. I promise you’ll love it!

What is your fondest memory of Bishop Manogue? My fondest memory has been being

able to call myself a Miner. It has been so much fun and there isn’t any way I could pick one time that was my favorite. I was very lucky to have attended such a wonderful high school and I loved it all!

What is your favorite Manogue School event and why? My favorite school events that

Manogue offers are the retreats. They are a perfect time for kids to find out a lot about themselves as well as learn about faith and what it is that they really believe in. Over the years, I have participated in 12 school retreats and I will be a leader for the new Choices Retreat.

Why do you feel an education from Manogue better prepares students for college? Manogue better prepares students for

college because the size of the classes are small, and the teachers care about the success of each student. That makes it a lot easier to ask for help and in turn be successful. I think Manogue has also given me opportunities to grow in my faith and to learn about myself which will definitely help me in college.

What are your future plans and goals?

In college I plan to study medicine and eventually become a doctor. I love to help people and as a doctor there isn’t a better way to do just that. I would love to spend part of my time in third world countries helping sick people there. I really want to go to school somewhere in Southern California and if I get the opportunity to play college golf that would be perfect, but for now I am just waiting to see what opportunities present them to me.

What are your interests? I have interests in a variety of areas,

and I am lucky enough to go to a school like Manogue, where I can participate in every one. As far as sports are concerned, I have run cross country for three years and track for four. I love singing and am a part of the Manogue choir. One of my favorite things to do is sing the National Anthem at Manogue’s sporting events. I love the school spirit that everyone exhibits when we are all supporting our teams. I also love to speak French and have traveled with Madame Righetti, the French teacher at Manogue, to France two summers ago and plan to visit again this coming June.

What do you like most about Bishop Manogue? What I like most about Manogue is

the close-knit family feeling. It isn’t just a school, but a home where your family is. No matter which direction you go, there are always people there to support and help you. I know almost every face that comes through these halls and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

Connor Sullivan Michelle Mowry

Student Spotlight

What advice would you give incoming freshmen? The advice I would give incoming

freshmen is to participate in all the activities that Manogue has to offer. Before you know it, you experience all your “lasts” – last homecoming dance, last football game. The four years go by faster than you can believe and it’s important to not have any regrets about the time you spent at Manogue. Participating in everything makes you feel part of something bigger than just yourself; you are a part of the Manogue family.

What is your fondest memory of Bishop Manogue? My fondest memory of Bishop

Manogue was competing at the State Cross Country Meet. After finishing 4th, I was congratulated by Mr. Jaureguito, Mr. Rumball, and various other Manogue teachers who had come to support all the athletes that day. When I looked at

the other competitors, none of them had been lucky enough as I had to be surrounded by so many people from their high school. Manogue is different that way; you are surrounded by people who know you as more than just another student.

What is your favorite Manogue School event and why? My favorite school event is the

Homecoming Rally. The spirit that fills the gym during the rally excites everyone for the big game. I love seeing the classes compete against each other and then unite for spirit that is school wide. The enthusiasm and excitement that Manogue possesses during the rally is equal to none.

Why do you feel an education from Manogue better prepares students for college? I feel that an education from

Manogue encompasses every aspect that an education should. Manogue

not only places an emphasis on academic growth, but on spiritual and emotional growth as well. With an education from Manogue, it is impossible to leave as anything but a well-rounded person.

What are your future plans and goals? Next year, I hope to be a French

major at an esteemed university. Whichever college I go to, I will run cross country and track and be an important component of their running program. My ultimate goal is graduate magna cum laude and be at the top of my class. I plan to go to dental school after I receive my undergraduate degree. After I have graduated dental school, I hope to travel to either Haiti or a French-speaking country in Africa to bring dental care to the less fortunate in those areas.

Jim Williams Miner Golf Classic


I was born in Devils Lake, North Dakota, and grew up on a farm close to that town. I consider myself very

fortunate to have been raised in a rural, family farm environment under the guidance of two great parents. I grew up with two brothers and one sister, me being the oldest. I was educated through college in North Dakota. My first teaching position was at Douglas County High School in Gardnerville, Nevada. My wife Vicky and I were married during my first year at Douglas. Vicky is also from North Dakota and she currently works at Renown Medical Center. We have two children, Eric and Michele. Eric and his wife Carrie live in Evanston, Illinois, and have two children, Maxwell and Harrison. Eric is a Corporate Attorney in Chicago and his wife, Carrie is also a corporate executive. Michele has two children, Jimmy and Bryanna. Michele teaches in the Davidson Academy at the University of Nevada. I am blessed with a wonderful, loving family.

I have been teaching science and mathematics my entire career. During my Douglas County years, I completed my Master of Science Degree in Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology at Oregon State University. I was also the

first wresting coach and inducted into the Douglas High School Hall of Fame. After leaving Douglas High, I taught one year at the “old” Billinghurst Junior High School and spent the remainder of my public school career at Sparks High School. I retired from Sparks High School in June 2000. There are many national teaching awards that I have received such as, Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching (Oct. 1988), Milken Family Foundation National Educator Award (Oct. 1990), Tandy National Award for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching (Oct. 1999), and American Chemical Society Outstanding High School Chemistry Teacher, Western Region (Oct. 2000). One thing that makes all these awards possible are the wonderful students, colleagues, and parents. I will forever be grateful for them at Douglas, Billinghurst, and Sparks.

In August 2000, I had the great fortune of beginning my career at Bishop Manogue Catholic High School. I have to say that I am very proud to be a part of the Bishop Manogue Family. This is a great school! We are blessed with outstanding students, faculty, staff, administration and parents. We all try to do our part in making this the best school in Nevada. What makes a great school is one that gives every student the opportunity to develop their talents and interests to the best of their ability. I believe Bishop Manogue provides the academic, extracurricular, and spiritual experiences to our students which will serve them well the rest of their lives, not just for college.

The one opportunity we provide, not available to most high school students, is Kairos. Every one of my students who has participated has considered it one of the most personally important experiences in their lives.

I have cited the attributes of a great school. All of the parts mentioned are

critical. We are especially blessed with a great student body. Their spirit, academic load, friendliness, compassion, and willingness to excel are unmatched by any student body I know of. We teachers are very fortunate. Again, I want to thank all of the people who have given me the opportunity to be a teacher at Bishop Manogue Catholic High School.

I attended Oregon State University from 1998-2002, and received two Bachelors of Arts, one in English and one in

Spanish. I was married in July of 2002 to my wonderful husband Marc. We have two children—three year old son Jacob and one year old son Lucas. Following our marriage we moved to Reno so Marc could pursue an engineering career at Granite Construction Company.

My first teaching position was as an elementary Spanish teacher for a Waldorf School in Oregon. I attribute this experience to the reason I am now a high school administrator! I spent two years teaching part time at the Waldorf School prior to my college graduation. Halfway through my second year I also started subbing on the days I was not teaching at Waldorf for Marist Catholic High School. The stark contrast between these two experiences made it obvious to

me that I should work in a high school. Runny noses, wet pants, recess, mystery slime after snack…give me high school any day. I started at Bishop Manogue in the fall of 2003, teaching Spanish I and English 9. The following year I received AP certification and began teaching Spanish II, Spanish III and AP Spanish Language. In 2005 I completed my Masters of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Nevada, Reno and became the Academic Dean at Bishop Manogue. This year I moved positions and am currently Dean of Students. I also serve as a member of the Commission on Professional Standards in Education for the State of Nevada.

I have several memories of Bishop Manogue. One of my fondest memories that I will never forget was my first year here which was the last year at the school on the hill. When I pulled up the drive for my interview I thought I was pulling into a prison. I had just moved to Nevada and I was not used to all of the brown and rocks. As I was touring the school, everyone kept talking about the new school and I just kept thinking “thank goodness I will only have to spend one year here!” My classroom ended up

being right off the main office and always smelled like a sewer. In the fall and spring it was miserably hot and in the winter is was like a freezer. Madame Righetti and I shared the room and we constantly tried to improve it by painting walls, hanging up posters, and cleaning. One day during sixth period, one of the ceiling tiles that had been bubbling and turning green all winter with snow melt burst open. Smelly, green chunky water fell all over the student directly beneath the bubble. It was probably one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen. I will never forget the class of 2008. I started teaching them as freshman and taught all of their Spanish classes up though AP when they graduated. I felt like my own children were graduating when they walked onto the football field.

My favorite school event is Kairos. It is the best thing we do at Manogue; I love everything about it and what it does for our community. I feel an education from Manogue better prepares students for college. I went to Catholic High School after attending public school up through eighth grade. My freshman year was eye opening. I had never had to take notes in class, listen to a lecture, do homework,

take a midterm or take a real final exam. My public school grades had been earned by being quiet, smiling and not causing any problems. I felt like I was really learning for the first time. When I went to college, my freshman and sophomore years were easy—most of the lectures in my English and History classes were similar to what I had in my honors and AP classes in high school. I watched friends whom I had grown up with who had continued public school struggle, fail out, and start over because they did not have a demanding high school career that prepared them for college. At the end of my freshman year in college, the amount of people that dropped out of school due to failing grades made me realize how lucky I had been to go to Catholic School. I have not stopped supporting Catholic education since and now my children go to St. Albert’s.

I enjoy the people I work with, students, faculty, staff and administration. Bishop Manogue Catholic High School is an amazing place to work. I feel at home, the people and experiences that surround you at Manogue make it a place you want to be, a place you want to stay.

Green & Gold Recapon Saturday, october 24, 2009 parents, alumni and friends joined the Bishop Manogue Catholic High School parents association at their one and only fundraiser. The Green and Gold event started out with live music by Kurt Russell, silent auction and appetizers. A full Turf and Feathers Buffet Dinner, provided by the Gold N’ Silver, and a live auction ended an evening full of food, fun, and friendship. The Parents Association is forever thankful for the many Bishop Manogue families and community businesses who donated items for the auctions. The money raised at this event goes to fund teacher wish lists, academics, and athletics.
