SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS 2012–2013NHS MEMBERS

St. Michael’s Catholic Academy community gathered to honor new members inducted into its

Altus Chapter of the National Honor Society. “So much of what NHS students do in dedication

to our school and community goes unheralded,” explained Interim Principal, Michael Volonnino.

“Beyond the hours of study time to earn their grades, they exemplify the ideals of leadership, char-

acter, and service. We are so proud of their accomplishments and look forward to their continuing

contributions.”


FINE ARTSSt. Michael’s Catholic Academy’s Fine Arts Department

continues to provide students with exciting opportunities

to build their appreciation and experience in visual

and performing arts. To create a successful learning

environment, each visual and performing arts class and

extracurricular engages students with a variety of unique

production-oriented experiences. Year after year, the

Fine Arts Department at SMCA offers many unique areas

of study and unique opportunities to learn in Dance,

Music, Theatre, and Visual Art. The 2012-2013 school year

was no exception, as our students had many challenging

and successful opportunities to demonstrate their work.

In our dance classes, students learn by doing kinesthetic

awareness as they connect with the body’s abilities

to coordinate motion and its awareness of where it is

in time and space. Outside of the classroom, students

performed for the Christmas and Spring Dance Recitals.

Drama is a unique combination of all of the arts, and

our drama students were very busy and productive. The

school year began with our Fall Play, The Craving. The

play, a biting satire of the film industry, featured sixteen

students who participated both on stage and behind

the scenes. The spring semester all-school production

was the musical, Little Shop of Horrors, which included

eighteen students who chose a specialty of on stage

or behind the scenes work. The Varsity Drama team

was especially productive during the year as they

participated in ten Texas Forensic Association (TFA)

qualifying tournaments, as well as having qualified for

the state TFA tournament. In the TAPPS State Academic

& Speech contest SMCA Drama boasted state finalists

in three events including a state championship for one

student in Solo Acting. Our Varsity Drama entry in the

TAPPS One-Act Play contest placed 2nd at the district

level and 4th at state. One senior, Danielle Green, was

named best actress at the state contest. The Drama II/

III class performed a theater for youth play, Goldilocks

on Trial, for elementary school students from our

partner schools and also presented their annual spring

production, the comedy The Devil in Sherman Marsh.

Research shows that learning music helps students

understand other subjects by reinforcing skills that

students use in other areas. Our Music students were

successful is several areas. Our exciting Drumline

performed at all home football games, one playoff game,

and had a thrilling rendition of “Little Drummer Boy”

during the all-school Mass during Advent. The symphonic

ensemble performed at the NHS Induction ceremony,

Winter Recital, Spring Recital, Awards Assembly and

Graduation. Music students also participated in the

TAPPS Solo & Ensemble competition and received

an “Excellent” rating for their Medium Ensemble

performances. Several students received a “Superior”

rating for their solo, and one student advanced to the

state level and received a “Superior” rating and a gold

medal. The year concluded with a concert that featured

the Music I class, which was the highest attended spring

music concert in school history.


FAITH LIFE The 2012-2013 academic year was measured with a great deal

of leadership development amongst our students. In the spring,

twelve students from the class of 2013 were selected to serve on the

Senior Leadership Team (SLT), a group of senior students dedicated

to serving the faith life of the SMCA community.

These students dedicated themselves to the task of creating

a student driven faith life by taking part in a three day retreat at

Eagle’s Wings retreat center in Burnet, TX. Having this excursion

take place in July allowed the team an opportunity to bond and

grow through prayer, service, and liturgy before the school year

even began. The SLT Retreat was the first of many experiences

that would take place outside of the classroom and off the athletic

field. This core group met weekly before school to plan, develop,

and eventually lead the day-retreats that each class participated in

during Catholic Schools Week in January. All four of these retreats

took place at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center where

students were engaged in prayer and team building exercises and

activities such as scavenger hunts. In addition to these outings, all

twelve SLT members participated in one of the three Kairos retreats;

a three day retreat designed to activate seniors’ relationship with

God and peers.

Senior Leadership Team members were also student leaders in the

liturgical life of the school. One priority was taking charge of the

masses in Christ Chapel for each grade level. This included recruiting

other students to be guest lectors, gift bearers, and greeters, while

also creating the prayers of the faithful. Outside of the church, the

team also coordinated student volunteers for charitable outings to

Querencia at Barton Creek, Mobile Loaves and Fishes, and Catholic

Charities of Central Texas.

The leadership that these twelve students developed and displayed

during their senior year permeated the entire SMCA community.

Their guidance, poise, and drive created a strong sense of peer

ministry throughout the campus and played a pivotal role in

successful retreats, masses, and service outings.


ATHLETICS• The Varsity Football team was named District and Regional

Champions after finishing the regular season at 12-1. The team

advanced to the State Semi-Finals, clinching the best outcome in

ALUMNIThe annual homecoming weekend, held on

October 19, 2012, was the first major event

of the year for the Alumni Association. Past,

present and future Crusaders gathered at

Crusader Stadium for the Homecoming football

game. During halftime, the Alumni of the Year

Award was presented. Afterwards, a large crowd

gathered at Opal Divine’s to celebrate a victory

and relive their Crusader memories.

The SMCA alumni flag football game was a fun

and well-attended event during Homecoming

weekend. Past football players came to relive

their glory days and enjoy the beautiful weather,

BBQ, alumni goodies, and kids’ activities. The Maroon team beat the Black team by a small margin!

The Holiday Happy Hour was enjoyable for many past Crusaders. More than fifty SMCA alums and their

spouses attended the Alumni Holiday Happy Hour on December 27, 2012. Good cheer, crusader spirit and

laughter filled the air as past Crusaders caught up with classmates and friends.

During the winter, SMCA alumni swim team members came back for a visit over breakfast tacos and hot

chocolate. Megan Rother Fults ‘03, former swim coach and alum, organized this fun event for current and past

Crusader swim team members. Former Olympian and new SMCA swim team coach, Hans Dersch, led the

group in a brisk winter warm up.

Before graduating, the Class of 2013 enjoyed lunch and each other’s company at the Alumni Induction

Ceremony! Lunch was served while classmates enjoyed watching the senior video, receiving Mrs. Knepp’s

College Awards, and spending time with their classmates before graduation.

ANNUAL APPEAL In 2012-2013, St. Michael’s Catholic Academy was

blessed with an overwhelming show of support from

our greater community for the Annual Appeal campaign.

This past year, an extraordinary $261,549 was raised,

directly impacting our daily student’s experience. The

St. Michael’s faculty, staff, Board of Trustees, and

Foundation Board showed their support for SMCA with

100% participation to the Annual Appeal. Feeding off

this energy, our wonderful parents set the tone for future

families with an incredible 89% giving rate. Thank you

to all who were able to give a gift for both present and

future St. Michael’s students.

Donations to the Annual Appeal go a long way toward

helping St. Michael’s achieve its mission of combining

academic excellence with faith formation and

co-curricular learning opportunities. These gifts support

our dedicated faculty and staff by creating opportunities

and providing resources for our educators to grow as

members of the St. Michael’s community. Co-curricular

learning, an important aspect of all St. Michael’s high

school student’s experience, is also enriched through

these generous gifts.

We are truly appreciative of all those who have

volunteered their time and experience, especially

Campaign Co-Chairs, Mitzi & Chris Easley and Anna &

Jim Gjerset, as well as the Annual Appeal Class Captains.

Thank you again to our generous donors for ensuring

this success!


CRUSADER CLASSIC & BBQ THROWDOWNThe Crusader Classic is a long-standing tradition at St. Michael’s where we invite our community to join us for a little

friendly competition on the nines in support of our school. The funds we raise on this day support financial aid,

scholarships, and our faculty and staff. The 2012 Crusader Classic was held at Falconhead Golf Club on Monday,

October 1, 2012. Participants and sponsors enjoyed a beautiful day of golf in the company of good friends. The night

before the Tournament, the 2nd Annual BBQ Throwdown competition was held at the home of Ben Bentzin. Parents

and supporters enjoyed delicious BBQ sponsored by Schmidt Family BBQ and blues music by the Peterson Brothers

Band. We appreciate all of the hard work by our parent chefs in making the Throwdown possible. Thanks to our

wonderful Co-Chairs, Bill McMeans and Jay Watson, and the tireless efforts of our fabulous committee members, we

were able to raise $38,700. Also, a special thanks to Tim Gigliotti for chairing the BBQ Throwdown and making it so

much fun! Thank you all for your support!


WAYS YOU CAN GIVE TO ST. MICHAEL’S CATHOLIC ACADEMYBEQUESTS

Consider a perpetual gift to St. Michael’s. By including St. Michael’s Catholic Academy in your will, you can be a part of

the education of future generations. You can bequeath a percentage of your estate, a fixed dollar amount, or specified

personal property to St. Michael’s Catholic Academy.

CASH & PLEDGES

Cash gifts are immediately available for use by St. Michael’s. Cash gifts may be unrestricted or restricted to special

projects. Pledges enable donors to show support immediately and pay when convenient.

DEFERRED GIFTS

Our tax advisor can discuss various trusts and other forms of deferred contributions that can benefit St. Michael’s

Catholic Academy and provide life income for you or your loved one.

LIFE INSURANCE

A gift of life insurance is a wonderful way to make a significant gift to St. Michael’s Catholic Academy. An existing policy

may be donated or a new policy purchased. St. Michael’s should be named as the beneficiary and premiums are tax

deductible.

MATCHING GIFTS

More than 1,000 employers will match gifts to St. Michael’s Catholic Academy. Obtain matching gifts forms from the

personnel office of your employer.


PERSONAL PROPERTY

Art, antiques, jewelry, and rare books are examples of

gifts of personal property that are deductible for income

tax purposes at their fair market value.

REAL ESTATE

Gifts of real estate usually allow the avoidance of the capital

gains tax and provide a charitable deduction. Lifetime

occupancy of a donated residence may be retained.

SECURITIES

Appreciated stocks or bonds can be donated to St.

Michael’s and may be deducted for income tax purposes

at full, fair market value on the date of transfer with no

significant capital gains liability.

UNITED WAY

You can make contributions to any 501(c) 3 not-for-profit

organization of your choice through United Way. Just

ask your United Way representative how to designate

St. Michael’s Catholic Academy as the recipient of your

United Way contribution.

PLANNED GIVING:

Planned giving may be defined as a method of supporting

a nonprofit that enables donors to make gifts larger than

they could make from their regular income. While some

planned gifts provide a life-long income to the donor,

others use estate and tax planning techniques to plan

for charitable giving in ways that maximize the gift and/

or minimize its impact on the donor’s estate. Whether

a donor uses appreciated securities/stock, real estate,

partnership interests, personal property, life insurance,

a retirement plan, trusts, or an annuity, the benefits of a

planned gift can make this type of charitable giving very

attractive to both the donor and the nonprofit. By contrast,

gifts to the annual fund are generally made from a donor’s

discretionary income, and while they may be budgeted

for, they are not considered planned giving.

One donor who understood the value of maximizing a

planned gift was Monsignor Richard McCabe. Monsignor

McCabe worked with the founding members of the school

to create St. Michael’s Catholic Academy, and was widely

considered a beloved friend of the school. At the time

of his passing, Monsignor designated St. Michael’s as the

beneficiary of a $100,000 life insurance policy. By only

paying a small amount for the policy, he was able to make

a significant gift in the form of an endowed scholarship

to help minority students with a financial need attend St.

Michael’s. Monsignor McCabe’s planned gift will ensure

his legacy at the school will live on in perpetuity as an

endowed scholarship for generations of students.

ENDOWMENTSThe St. Michael’s Catholic Academy endowment consists

of funds given to the school that are invested in perpetuity.

Endowed funds can be unrestricted, providing a resource

that can be used to meet current school priorities and

exciting new opportunities as they arise, or can be

designated for specific purposes, including scholarships

for students. We are grateful for all of the generous

donors who have so strongly believed in the future of St.

Michael’s Catholic Academy.

If you would like to support St. Michael’s Catholic

Academy by establishing an endowment or making a gift

to one of our established funds, please contact Peggy

Hanley, Director of Development, at (512) 328-2323 or

[email protected].

GRANDPARENTS’ DAYEach year, we are pleased to host a special day in which we

welcome our grandparents and grand friends to join in the daily

life of our campus. Grand Day was celebrated on November 1,

2012. The day included a campus tour, an all-school Mass for All

Saints’ Day, and a delicious lunch in Café Loredo. We had the

best turnout yet, and are excited that the students were able to

have so many loved ones visit them here at school! Thank you to

everyone who participated and helped make this a memorable

event!


UNA NOCHE EN ESPAÑA GALA

CO-CHAIRS Debbie BeckKaren Rudy

Colorful Flamenco dancers and

musicians entertained guests at St.

Michael’s Catholic Academy annual

gala, Una Noche En Espana, at the

Barton Creek Resort on Saturday

evening. The beautiful event also

included a cocktail reception and

silent auction, an energetic live

auction, and dancing with Austin’s

favorites The Nightowls. “This is

our largest fundraiser of the year,”

explained Director of Development

Peggy Hanley, “and it’s a great time for our families, friends, faculty, and alumni to join together in celebration and

fellowship while supporting St. Michael’s students.”

Mike Volonnino, Interim Principal, spoke to the crowd about exciting technology changes taking place on campus and

introduced a moving video created by students from the multi-media class. “Graduates of St. Michael’s go to some

of the most prestigious colleges in the country and many will return to Austin to lead the next generation,” Volonnino

remarked.

“Our over-reaching goal is for St. Michael’s to replicate the university environment, in form and function. Our curriculum

drives college-level ideals: collaboration, independent inquiry, and student engagement. This legacy of excellence at

St. Michael’s is made possible through the generosity of donors and the support of our community.”
