Dear Catalina Families: 

When I last wrote to you at the end of the last school year, the following statement was part of my 

message: 

Irregular school attendance remains as the greatest single reason for poor student performance in school. 

The students at Catalina who have the worst attendance records also have the lowest grades. We can not help 

students when they are not here. All of us must work together to ensure that a student’s absence from school is 

an exception, not the rule. 

At the beginning of this school year, I joined other members of our school staff in conducting student 

assemblies for each of the four grade levels at our school. We have held these assemblies every August (and 

every January) since my first year as your principal. It’s important to hold these gatherings so that we can share 

with students our hopes and expectations for them. 

I told the students that if they engage in three behaviors on a consistent basis, they are more likely to be 

successful and happy during their tenure at Catalina: 

- Be here and be on time 

- Do your best on every assignment 

- Ask for help when you need it 

The first one remains the most vital. As we close out the first quarter of 

this school year, we remain aware of the paramount importance of student 

attendance. Teachers emphasize this point in all their classes and we have 

an “Impact Team,” made up of administrators, counselors and other key staff 

members who intervene with students whose poor attendance is causing 

them to fail their classes. Parents play the most important role in any student’s 

regular school attendance. You can give your child no greater gift than ensuring 

that they are in school each and every day. 

Principal 

Rex Scott 

One of the most important changes we have made to our policies and practices was shared with students 

at the August assemblies. We recognize that assessment should not be a “one-shot deal” and that our goal in any 

class is to make certain that all students have mastered the standards taught to them. For that reason, students 

now have the right (and the responsibility) to re-take any major test, or other significant assignment that they 

failed the first time they took it. I told students that they must use this new right as a tool, not a crutch. It is 

still their duty to be in all their classes on time every day, to do their best on every assignment and to behave 

appropriately. If they don’t do those things, it won’t matter how many chances they get to take a test! 

Many of our freshman and sophomore students are now enrolled in “academic support classes,” also 

known as “Response to Intervention.” These classes, taught by Cheryl Beran and Victor Greco, are designed for 

students who need additional time and assistance with math and literacy. These are also students who are failing 

two or more of their other classes. We are already seeing promising results in these classes and know that they 

will be of incredible utility to some of our neediest students. 

We recognize that the freshman year is the most important predictor of how any student will perform in 

high school and if they will graduate on time. For that reason, freshmen at Catalina are organized into “houses,” 

where one group of teachers has responsibility for working with a designated cadre of freshmen. This structure, 

which is in its second year, is helping us to target the unique learning, behavioral and social needs of our youngest 

students. Ask your freshman to tell you about their work with their peers and teachers in Griffin, Pegasus or 

Phoenix House! 

Catalina’s teaching staff is joining their colleagues across the Tucson Unified School District in taking

classes in the Essential Elements of Instruction. This decision-making model has been used by teachers around 

the world for decades and will help our teachers to improve the quality of instruction in every classroom. Teachers 

are observing each other in their use of this model and administrators are also conducting formative classroom 

visits to help assist teachers as they apply these new skills. 

Writing is significant evidence of higher-level thinking. Each Catalina teacher has prepared a “non-fiction 

writing plan” in which they describe how they will use writing on a regular basis in their classroom for both 

reflection and assessment. Giving students more opportunities to summarize learning, construct reasoned 

arguments and respond to teacher questions in writing will help our students both now and in their lives after 

high school. 

Everything we are doing every day at Catalina to help every child to learn is already showing results. 

Grades are up, especially among our youngest students. Disciplinary referrals to the office, especially those 

that may lead to suspension, have dropped significantly. There is a spirit of collaboration and a commitment to 

consultation shared by all our teachers. We still have a lot of work to do, but we are definitely headed in the right 

direction! 

I hope that you each of you are a frequent visitor to our school website: http://edweb.tusd1.org/ 

Catalina/. The website, designed and maintained by Assistant Principal Dave Berry, is the best resource you can 

have for staying current with everything going on at Catalina. Please use it frequently and let us know what you 

think about it. 

Please contact me (232-8404, or rex.scott@tusd1.org) with your questions, ideas, or concerns. I am 

deeply proud to be your principal. Thank you for the honor of working on behalf of your children. 

Sincerely- 

Rex Scott 

BOOSTER CLUB 2011 

The Booster Club is comprised of a group of parents whose 

children participate in sports at Catalina. Our main purpose is to raise 

funds to help teams with things they may need that are not covered 

by TUSD. The main way we raise money is through our Snack Bar. We 

run a snack bar each day after school and in the evenings for many 

of the sporting events. Every coach can come and request money. 

What we ask in return is for the coach to sign up to have his players 

and their parents help out at the snack bar. We are always looking 

for help and we will train. The after school snack bar runs from the end of school until there aren’t any more 

customers. The evening events in which the snack bar is open are: football, basketball and volleyball. We are 

also open occasionally during the year for special sporting events such as tournaments. 

Everything in the snack bar is reasonably priced and many of the visiting students/athletes tell us we 

have the best one in the district. We sell punch cards for $10 that get the buyer $11 worth of food. These 

are nice for students because then they don’t have to worry about having cash each day. They make great 

gifts and stocking stuffers. We have a suggestion box in the snack bar and we do our best to accommodate all 

reasonable suggestions. We want to sell what kids want to buy. We run monthly “combo” specials in which 

they can buy 2 items together for a reduced price. 

We meet once a month on the first Monday at 6:30 in the lobby of Hines Gym. We would love to have 

some new parents become involved. If you have any questions you can email our co-presidents Brad Rountree 

at brountree5@q.com or Ginny Rountree at ginny.rountree@q.com. 


Meaning of a the Tri-Folded Flag 

Have you ever noticed an honor guard paying meticulous attention to correctly folding the United States 

flag 13 times? This does not symbolize the original 13 colonies. Below you will find a description and 

meaning to the folding of the flag which comes from an article from the American Legion. 

The first fold of the flag stands for a symbol of life. 

The second fold is a symbol in the belief in eternal life. 

The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing the ranks who gave a 

portion of their lives for the defense of the country to attain peace throughout the world. 

The fourth fold represents the weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to him 

we turn in times of peace as well as in times of war for his divine guidance. 

The fifth fold is a tribute to the country. In the words of Stephen Decatur, “Our country, in dealing 

with other countries, may she always be right; but is still our country, right or wrong”. 

The sixth fold is where people’s hearts lie. It is with their heart that they pledge allegiance to the 

flag of the United States of America, and the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivis- 

ible, with Liberty and Justice for all. 

The seventh fold is a tribute to its armed forces, for it is through the armed 

forces that they protect their country and their flag against all her enemies, whether 

they be found within or without the boundaries of their republic. 

The eight fold is a tribute to the one who entered the valley of the shadow of 

death, that we might see the light of day. 

The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood, and mothers. It is through their faith, 

their love, loyalty and devotion that the character of man and woman who have made 

this country great has been molded. 

The tenth fold is a tribute to the father, for he too, has given his sons and daughters 

for the defense of their country since they were first born. 

The eleventh fold represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and 

King Solomon and glorifies in the Hebrews eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 

The twelfth fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies in Christian eyes, God the father, 

the Son and Holy Spirit. 

Lt. Col. (Ret.) 

Robert Maldonado 

The thirteenth fold or when the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding them 

of their nation’s motto, “In God We Trust.” 

After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever 

reminding us of the soldiers who served under General Washington and the sailors and marines who 

served under John Paul Jones, preserving for all the rights, privileges and freedoms they enjoy today. 

Nurse Cindy Sez... 

If your child has a health condition such as severe allergy which requires 

an EPIPEN, asthma which requires use of an inhaler on occasion, or diabetes 

which requires insulin use at school, please see the Health Office staff. 

There are three types of medications which students are permitted to carry 

on campus—EPIPENs, asthma inhalers and insulin. There is a procedure to 

follow for this and forms to complete in order to have this happen. 

Please be sure that the Health Office has current phone numbers on file on your child’s emergency card. 

It is crucial that correct numbers be available in the event of an emergency. 


Instrumental Music 

The Instrumental Music department is off to a terrific start of the 2011-12 school year! 

The Trojan Marching Pride is performing a jazz themed show for halftime at football games called 

“Catalina Swings All That Jazz.” The band is playing the jazz standards “Birth of the Blues”; “Sing, Sing, 

Sing”’; “Take The A Train”; and the Santana hit “Smooth.” Be sure to make it to the final home football 

game on October 28 th when we will honor our Senior band members. Our Winter Concert will be presented 

on Tuesday, December 13 th at 7pm. 

The Catalina Mariachi group has a new director! This summer, band director 

Tammy Stewart participated in a week-long conference for Mariachi teachers. 

“The musical experience was new for me, and I enjoyed learning more about the 

rich, cultural heritage of Mariachi music,” says Ms. Stewart. 

In response to a student interest survey last year, Catalina is offering Guitar 

as a course offering. There are currently two classes full of students with very 

sore fingers! Students are learning to read music, play melodies and chords. Several 

students have already uploaded videos to youtube.com of themselves singing 

and playing guitar! Funds from Catalina HS and TUSD Fine Arts were used to buy 

50 new Yamaha student guitars and cases. 

The long-awaited renovation of our auditorium and Little Theatre is almost complete! The workmen 

have demolished and rebuilt much of the basement, the restrooms in the LT hallway, installed an 

elevator to the basement, and are now laying a new wood floor to the expanded stage; installing state-ofthe-art 

technology for sound and lighting; and new curtains! We can’t wait to see the finished product! 

When the Auditorium/Little Theatre are complete work will begin on the Band and Choir rooms. Those 

rooms should be complete by the end of March. Watch for an announcement for our “Grand RE-Opening” 

of these fantastic facilities! 

Thank You U of A Students and Staff!! 

Tammy Stewart, 

Director of Bands 

Catalina Magnet was the lucky recipient of a fabulous amount of school supplies donated by the wonderful 

students and staff that participated in a stuff the bus event on the U of A campus. The bus arrived after 

school and we had a group of our students unloading filled backpacks with a group of U of A students. It 

was great to see them all working together and talking about college and what they are studying or what 

they want to study in the future. A few short years and our students will be on an other campus helping 

others in high school. Next the fun began in earnest! We have been handing out school supplies to teachers, 

staff and students. We had some great dictionaries that went to a classroom, fabulous scientific calculators 

that headed to the math teachers and lots of basic pencils and supplies that went to staff and teachers. 

Mr. Berry handed out a whole shopping cart of supplies to students that were gone in a flash. We had 

a bunch of supplies at the payday breakfast for our staff and it has been great to get these items out to our 

hard working Catalina faculty and staff and students. 

A big thank you to all that contributed and we expect to see a sharp rise in the grades here at Catalina. I 

might have a pencil or two stashed away if anyone needs anything.

“Notan Design” by Brenda Sanchez 

FINE ARTS 

It has been a busy and exciting start to the 2011-2012 Fine Arts 

school year. 

New Performing Arts classes are available to students this year. 

These include Guitar with Ms. Stewart, Vocal Music with Ms. Dluehosh 

and more Drama classes with Mr. Fout. The completion of the Auditorium 

and Little Theater remodeling will allow all Performing Arts 

students wonderful new venues to display their talents. 

In Mr. Faroulo’s Beginning Art classes, students began the year 

with the goal of learning how to sketch observed objects. They did this 

by first breaking down the subject into geometric shapes while keeping 

in mind the ratio of those shapes. Along with this skill, students 

learned to make block letters, cartoon characters, Trojan posters and 

Frankenstein portraits. They did non-fiction reading about Catalina’s history and read biographies about Walt 

Disney and Mary Shelly. 

Ms. Bastin’s Clay and Ceramics classes have been concentrating on hand-built clay masks and hand sculptures. 

Paper mache masks currently are the focus for her Beginning Art students. 

Digital Photography/Printmaking classes with Mrs. Ketchum are currently working on a reduction process 

linoleum block print utilizing four colors. Planning is important because the block is reduced for each color 

printed resulting in an edition multi-color prints. In Crafts classes, students are working with the Elements of Art 

in variety of multicultural folk art and craft applications. They are working with negative, positive space by designing 

and making a Notan design. Notan is based in Japanese culture and focuses on balancing light and dark. 

Value and shading have been worked with in Advanced Art classes resulting in lovely Celtic Monogram designs. 

The Catalina High School Foundation has asked that all interested students design a logo for their organization. 

During their October 12 th meeting a design will be selected. The winning entrant will be awarded $50.00 

by the Foundation.

Mom, Can I Have It Please??! 

Is this a common question when you take the kids to the grocery store with you? 

I know it is for me. I have been talking to your students about the importance of 

healthy eating, and encouraging them to try new things when possible. I’ve encouraged 

the students to ask you for fresh fruit and vegetables and more healthy 

options for snacks when you shop. With the understanding that they are a bit 

more expensive, I’ve told them to choose wisely. We know that it is important to 

have a varied diet that has many fruits and vegetables included and it is vital to 

the growth and development of happy, healthy kids. I know that your student has 

probably asked you a million times for those special yogurts or applesauce, that 

they swore to you they would eat and you ended up throwing it away in a week’s 

Erica Addison, 

Health Educator 

time because they “forgot” how much they wanted it. My hope is that you’ll recognize the maturity that your 

student is showing by asking for the “good stuff” and that you will give them the chance to follow through with 

the choice to try to eat right. It sure beats them driving you crazy for chips, cookies and candy. 


Greetings from Catalina’s English Language 

Development (ELD) Department.

Julie Kasper: “I grew up in Tucson – went to Esperanza Elementary School in the Sunnyside 

District and then Maxwell Middle School and University High School in TUSD. This is my 7 th year 

teaching ELD at Catalina, and it is still as challenging and exciting as day one. I love what I do as 

a teacher! After finishing my BA in Sociology and Women’s Studies at the University of Arizona, I 

started my teaching career in Japan where I taught middle school students English. After returning 

from Japan in 1998, I moved to New York City where I worked at the American Museum of 

Natural History in the photo archives (on the dinosaur floor). I then spent four months as an editor 

for an NGO in Cairo, Egypt before returning to NYC to complete my MA in Teaching English to 

Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) at Columbia University, Teachers College. I taught ESL for 

four years at a large high school in Queens, NY and then returned to my hometown of Tucson in 

2005 to begin my work at Catalina. It’s good to be back in the desert, though I love to travel and 

learn in different regions and different countries as much as possible. I spent this past summer 

in Sumatra, Indonesia as part of a U.S. Department of State teacher exchange program. It was 

wonderful!” (julie.kasper@tusd1.org) 

Jenny Mack: “I was born in Indonesia. I went to college in Jakarta where I graduated with a BA in 

teaching English. In 1983, I moved to Tucson and earned a MA in Teaching English as a Second 

Language from the University of Arizona. I spent most of the 90’s living overseas in Egypt and 

Bangladesh. I moved back to Tucson in 2000 when I started teaching at this school. I love teaching 

my ELD 1 classes.” (jenny.mack@tusd1.org) 

Lisa Richardson: “I got a B.S. in Journalism and Art History from the University of Kansas, a B.A. 

in English and Art Education from Montana State, an M.A. in English from Middlebury College, 

and am working on a PhD in Adolescent Literacy at U of A. I am starting my second year here 

at Catalina and enjoying getting to work with students and learn with them.” (lisa.richardson@ 

tusd1.org) 



Meg Riley: “I grew up in Minnesota and attended the University of Vermont where I received 

my Bachelor’s degree in Political Science with a minor in Psychology. I moved back to Minnesota 

where I received a MA in teaching Social Studies. I taught middle school social studies 

in Minnesota for four years and then moved to Arizona and taught middle school language 

arts and social studies. After my youngest daughter was born, I left teaching for a few years 

and took classes in teaching ESL. While taking ESL classes, I spent a lot of time in Jenny Mack’s 

classroom learning from her and her students. I started teaching at Catalina in 2007. When 

I’m not at school, I like to hang out with my family, read, and travel. Every summer I return 

to the Midwest and spend as much time as possible in, on, and around Lake Superior.” (meg. 

riley@tusd1.org) 

Ariela Samorano: “I was born in California and lived in Mexico until I was 15 years old. I attended 

Sunnyside High School and the University of Arizona. I have a Bachelor’s degree in 

English, a minor in Creative Writing and Religious Studies, a Post Baccalaureate degree in 

Secondary Education and Bilingual Education. I am currently completing a Master’s degree in 

School Counseling. My hobbies include whale watching in San Diego and vegetarian cooking. 

I really enjoy teaching at Catalina. My ELD students are enthusiastic and eager to learn. I love 

that!” (ariela.samorano@tusd1.org) 

What we’ve been doing in our classes during the first part of the 2011-2012 school year… 

ELD, Level I: 

Ms. Cassidy’s Level I Listening and Speaking class has been having some fun with learning by singing songs and 

reading poems. We focused on our favorite things and learned “A Few of My Favorite Things” from The Sound 

of Music. We were working on clothing and read and performed a poem called “New Shoes.” We listened and 

learned the pronunciation and also worked on stress and pacing. We had a lot of fun clapping our hands to 

keep rhythm while making sure to pronounce the entire word. 

Mr. Fomeche’s Level I ELD Reading /Grammar/Writing block class has been working on basic vocabulary related 

to school and appearance. The students will apply their knowledge of colors, dressing and part of the body in 

a thrilling fashion show as part of their 1st quarter project. The higher level I Writing class spent a few weeks 

building a biosketch for themselves and a family member. They are currently working on the description of 

their favorite places. Finally the ELD Listening and Speaking class has been challenged to a higher level thinking 

as they use the “wh” questions and the verbs “to do” as well as the verb “to be” to recreate True stories from 

the News in a fun and vibrant mood. 

Ms. Mack’s level I ELD reading class read a passage about hobbies. After having a short discussion about 

hobbies, students wrote a paragraph about their own hobbies. The results were interesting. The majority of 

students wrote that playing soccer was their hobby. Other hobbies included playing basketball, the guitar, and 

piano, dancing, and shopping. 

ELD, Level II: 

Ms. Bedford’s ELD II block classes are working on a unit titled Challenges. They have read and thought about 

such challenges as physical limitations, gender limitations, and survival in a hostile environment. They have 

also examined the challenge of the first days of school for an English language learner. Currently, they are 

working on one of the biggest challenges: AIMS Reading. 



Ms. Kasper’s ELD II Listening & Speaking classes are finishing up a unit of study related to food and nutrition. 

After studying dozens of vocabulary words, listening to numerous dialogs about food, and participating in class 

discussions about nutrition, students were asked to create PowerPoint presentations for a Catalina Cafeteria 

Make-Over. They had to use their newly acquired vocabulary and nutritional knowledge to design breakfast 

and lunch menus that would be delicious and nutritious. They are also being asked to create a how-to presentation 

which will focus on cooking. Students will share recipes and cooking styles at the start of the second 

quarter. They are becoming confident, articulate speakers of English! 

ELD, Levels III & IV: 

Mr. Fout’s classes have been working on an extended essay in response to “By the Waters of Babylon,” a short 

story by Stephen Vincent Benet exploring the issues of violence and hate in the name of God. The students 

have utilized the writing process, composing an extended essay discussing the elements of plot, the use of 

inferences to understand meaning, theme, and a personal reaction to the story and how we read it. 

Ms. Richardson’s students have been reading novels and writing an assortment of essays in response to their 

reading. ELD 3 students recently finished the novel Seedfolks, by Paul Fleischmann and ELD 4 students are 

reading The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. In addition, students are working on becoming better 

editors of their own and others’ writing. It’s been a busy quarter! 

Ms. Riley’s ELD III-IV Academic Reading/American History class is developing reading strategies while studying 

exploration of the Americas. They are currently researching a plant, animal, or disease that had a significant 

impact on Europeans and Americans-past and present. In her other reading class, Ms. Riley’s students are 

building skills through readings on current topics in social studies including the tenth anniversary of 9/11, the 

rebellion in Libya, and the issue of unemployment. 

Ms. Samorano’s 5 th period writing class is talking and writing about persuasion. Students are working hard on 

essays making sure they have a strong thesis statement and supporting details. Students are using an argument 

related to either ethos (what is right ethically), pathos (what your emotions/heart tell you) or logos (a 

logical argument that makes sense). 

Finding Voice (classes & club): 

The Find My Voice through Writing students, who are in ELD Levels 2-4 and beyond, have just started a unit 

about “voice.” With Ms. Kasper (and project partners Josh Schachter and Bria Dolnick), students are exploring 

what it means to have a voice in their community. They are also exploring the various ways they can share 

their voice with others. In particular, they are writing essays about youth voice, recording audio conversations 

about times they felt silenced or shy to share their voice, and taking photographs that illustrate their perception 

of themselves and their voices. 

The Finding Our Voice Multicultural, Multilingual Club meets every Thursday from 2:30-4:00 in Room M219. 

All are welcome. We are currently working on designing t-shirts for our club members, planning for our annual 

publication, organizing fundraisers, field trips, and community service projects, and – most exciting of all 

– creating a short film that will be a fictionalized account of one English Language Learner’s experiences upon 

arrival at Catalina. 


Learning Support Coordination 

It has been a wonderful start to a new school year, and it is difficult to believe a quarter is already behind us! 

With all of exciting programs and available supports, students are demonstrating exceptional progress toward 

fulfilling their academic goals and continued community building. As the Learning Supports Coordinator, I am 

always honored to play a role in assisting our staff, students and families toward these endeavors and promoting 

the options available to aid student success. 

One of the truly commendable supports available to our freshmen exists within their house teams. 

Houses provide students with mentoring options and open communication to families regarding student progress. 

If an interest ever exists for families to meet with teachers regarding their student, arrangements can be 

made through any house teacher or the Learning Supports Coordinator. Our goal is to make the middle school 

to high school transition as smooth as possible and promote student achievement through multiple avenues. 

Beyond freshman houses, Catalina initiated a new course for struggling freshman and sophomore 

students called Response to Intervention. This course is available to students with difficulty in multiple core 

subjects and who require support in time management, organization, monitoring personal progress and reading, 

writing or math. Students and families with this available option are contacted directly to assess the 

effectiveness of such placement. Should any student or parent of a struggling freshman or sophomore require 

additional information regarding this program, they are encouraged to contact Catalina’s Learning Supports 

Coordinator. 

Although each of the options highlighted above are geared toward underclassman, supports are always 

available to every student. Information about student progress is regularly available online through TUSDStats. 

However, if more personal contact is desired to address student specific plans, the Catalina staff is ready and

$eniors! $wing By and $ee Mr. Hanna! 

The college application season is in full swing with a number of Catalina students having already completed 

their applications and several already receiving acceptance letters! The old saying “the early bird gets 

the worm” is true for college admissions. Those seniors who apply before January 1 st will be accepted quicker 

and are more likely to be eligible for financial aid. If you or your student are plannng on attending college in 

the fall of 2012, now is the time to apply. Please see your counselor or Mr. Hanna for help. 

Scholarships are also much more plentiful this time of year. I hope that all of you are on my Catalina 

College and Scholarship Newsletter email list. Please send an email to mark.hanna@tusd1.org to be added. 

There are many scholarships that go unclaimed because not enough students apply! Don’t let having to write 

an essay deter you from applying! Most only require only one page and Catalina English teachers or I will be 

glad to help you. 

Please mark your calendars for Thursday, December 8 th – the annual Catalina College Financial Aid Night 

from 6:30 – 8:00 pm. Come find out how to get someone else to pay for your student’s (or your own) college 

education. Free advice from UA, NAU, Pima, and private financial aid organizations plus free snacks from Catalina’s 

own FEAST Culinary Arts program. Don’t miss it! 

As always, please contact me for any college related questions you may have. It is never too early to be 

plannng for college so I welcome all grade level students and their parents.

Hello Sports Fans! It’s been a great Fall Sports 

season so far and Catalina is proud of the commitment that students 

have made to finish something that they have started. As 

always, when students step foot on Campus, their number one 

priority is going to all their scheduled classes, doing and being 

the best they can, and asking for help when they need it. The 

marquee reminder says, “Every Day…Every Class…On Time.” 

Our teams stepped up to the plate when the Arizona Athletic Association 

asked all High School Fall Sport participants to complete 

an on-line computer course. This course is called “Brainbook”, 

and provides information regarding concussions. Students had 

until Oct. 1 st to complete the course or face becoming ineligible 

to participate the remainder of the season. This was a requirement 

of the entire State, and we were given 3 weeks to do it. All Catalina Fall Sport participants completed the 

course. 

State tournaments begin at the end of October and the first week of November. Catalina’s Girls Varsity Volleyball 

team is currently undefeated and is ranked 3 rd in the State in Division III. They will travel to Prescott on 

November 4 th to begin play in the 2011 State Championship Tournament. The teams last home game is on Oct. 

25 th vs. Santa Rita. Frosh at 4:00pm, JV at 5:00pm, and Varsity at 6:00pm. Come out and help celebrate “Senior 

Night.” 

Winter Sports begin on Oct. 31 st . We look forward to your “Catalina Trojan(s)” signing up to participate in Basketball, 

Soccer, or Wrestling and to your attendance at the games. 

As you know, programs at Catalina require financial and community support. If you are looking for an opportunity 

to get a break on your 2011 Income Tax return, feel free to make a tax credit donation to any Catalina 

program of your choice. Thank you for any type of monetary contribution or individual volunteer assistance 

you can provide to Catalina. 

Athletic Director 

Ken Harcus 

From the Math Department 

We would like to remind you of the importance of homework and good study habits. 

Homework is a very important part of mastering math skills. Math is a very complex subject, and it 

is important that the skills learned in class are reinforced as soon as possible. It is usually helpful to do your 

homework in a quiet, well lit place with minimal distraction. It is also helpful to set up a routine of doing your 

homework at a certain time each day. If you keep up with your math homework, the class will be easier and 

your grade will benefit. 

We have tutoring available: 

Tutoring is available before and after school on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursday from 2.45- 3.30. 

You can also make arrangements with your regular math teacher for help before or after school. 

Help is always just a question away. Don’t be shy. 

If you are planning to go to the U of A or Pima College, you will need to take a placement test for your 

math classes. This is a comprehensive test so it is important that you study before the exam. There will be 

material on the test that you may not have worked with for quite awhile. See a math teacher if you need help. 

All you have to do is ask. 

- Mike McGlynn, Math Dept. Chair 


Fenton McClure, the “Lam Man” 

Have you ever wondered how all that cool stuff in the classrooms gets that great, protective, glossy 

sheen called lamination? Well, all you have to do is ask the big guy in charge. Fenton McClure is the Catalina 

Senior who’s been taking care of the school’s laminating needs for 3 years. Every week he checks the work 

load, heats up the machine and digs in. 

Lest you think, “big deal, anyone can do that”, let me tell you a little bit about what’s involved. Before 

the end of the first week of school this year there were over 600 separate pages of work. All that work had to 

be distributed to 23 different locations. Each piece has to be laid out and hand directed onto the hot, moving 

rollers. After the work comes out the back side it has to be collected and trimmed with scissors. For 600 

pieces of work with four sides each, that’s 2400 scissor cuts!!! And remember, that was just the first week of 

school. You might wonder what gets laminated. Posters, passes, maps, file folders, game pieces, newspaper 

clippings; small pieces, large pieces, and everything in between. Some of the work is beautiful, original art 

work. Moving the page or miscalculating the timing for placement results in wrinkled work and/or overlapping 

pages. Mr. Madrid cuts out everything in every newspaper that has anything to do with Catalina students 

achieving success. He has every one of these laminated and posted so the whole school can see. Now, I 

bet you can see the importance of this one seemingly small job at Catalina. Thanks to Fenton, every order is 

treated with care and precision, hand processed and delivered to anyone needing his services. Have questions 

about laminating? Call 232-8477. 

Fenton lives with his mom and dad in a nearby neighborhood. He has an older sister and a big brother. 

He enjoys horseback riding, bicycling, hiking and camping. Fenton uses a talker to say “hi” and to talk. If you 

see him, busy about the school, be sure to say “hello”.

Updates from Our Freshman Houses! 

Griffin House officers  Left to right: 

President Angel Gastelum, Secretary 

Alma Sandoval & Vice President 

Julie Tench 

The efforts of the houses have been 

so prevalent this quarter in terms 

of student progress, support and involvement. 

Thanks to everyone for 

all of their hard work! Below are of 

some of the highlights. 

Pegasus House 

With the election of officers, Pegasus 

has initiated the first interhouse 

competition. Pictures of house officers are displayed in the north main hallway. The house was able to 

revise approaches to the Penny War fundraiser rules through suggestions from Griffin, which was a fantastic 

display of collaboration. The house met with their officers to discuss expectations for officer behavior and responsibilities. 

During a class circle, Rene Lopez announced himself as the Pegasus House President with pride. 

There will be house celebration on October 31st where students will be recognized for their efforts. 

Griffin House 

Griffin has also completed election of their house officers. They have begun the process of initiating and facilitating 

house interventions for at-risk students. As an ongoing effort, names are being discussed at weekly 

meetings and there is a lot of sharing of strategies for working more effectively with students. Griffin House 

meetings are moving to Thursday mornings during 1st period. There is a lot of school to home communication 

to aid in identifying student barriers to learning. Six students have been identified as “Outstanding Griffins” to 

receive awards. Pictures of house officers hang in the display case in north hallway. 

Phoenix House 

Phoenix House has also begun the process of initiating and facilitating house interventions for at-risk students. 

Students of concern have been assigned teacher mentors who are responsible for contacting families and conferencing 

with students about any house class. Students of concern are also a regular agenda item to provide 

as much support as possible.

Trojan Gay Straight Alliance Supports Ally Week 

- Oct. 17 th -21 st 

Why do we need an Ally Week? 

The unfortunate truth is that anti-LGBT bullying, violence and 

harassment are commonplace in America’s schools. Actual and 

perceived sexual orientation and gender expression are two of the 

top three reasons teens report that students are harassed at their 

schools, according to From Teasing to Torment: School Climate in 

America, a GLSEN-commissioned report by Harris Interactive. In 

other words, all students - LGBT and straight alike - perceive anti- 

LGBT bullying and harassment as a serious problem in their schools. 

The vast majority of these same students said their schools would 

be better of if this issue was better addressed. GLSEN’s 2009 National 

School Climate Survey found that nearly nine out of ten LGBT 

students report experiencing verbal harassment at school and over 

30% report missing at least a day of school in the past month out of 

fear for their personal safety. GLSEN’s Ally Week brings us closer to 

making anti-LGBT bullying, harassment and name-calling unacceptable 

in America’s schools.

Vocal Music Returns to Catalina this Year... 

...with a revival of the Catalina Chorale’s a mixed Chorus of 28 students. 

We are excited to learn about choral music performance, polish some 

songs and have the chance to perform for the Catalina Community. Currently 

we have an accompanist only 1 day per week and our funds for 

purchasing music have been depleted so we are earnestly seeking support 

AND a pianist who might be willing to donate their time and talent to 

help us get this performing arts program launched in anticipation of our 

fabulous new facility! Watch for upcoming fundraisers sponsored by our 

sister group, the Catalina Glee Club.

From the Catalina Library 

Librarian Kate Gallion and ace library 

aides Colin Fayaunt and Amber Hall 

Hello from the library. My 

name is Kate Gallion and I 

have just finished my second 

week as the librarian for 

Catalina. It’s been a hectic 

time but I am very excited to 

be here. I have a Master’s 

Degree in Library Science from 

the University of Arizona and 

have been working as a librarian in TUSD for the past 15 years. I feel very close to the Catalina 

community as my son, Tyler, graduated from here in 2008, so I feel like Catalina is home to me. 

I am thrilled at how many students check out books from our library. I understand Catalina 

has the third highest circulation in all of TUSD! (And we are not the third biggest school.) We 

try and keep up with what is current and interesting both for general reading purposes and 

items which correspond with that is being taught in the curriculum here. Feel free to make 

suggestions for books you think our library should have. 

Many people don’t know how easy it is to use the online card catalog. You don’t need to 

come to the library to use the card catalog. If you are on a district computer, you just type 

“destinyweb” (no quotations) in the address line of your browser and it will take you to a 

listing of all the catalogs in TUSD. Scroll down until you see Catalina High School on the right 

hand side. Click on that link and it will take you to the catalog. 

You can even use the catalog at home! Go to http://tusdlibrary.tusd1.org and again, scroll 

down to where you see Catalina High School. 

Basically you search under Title, Author or Subject just as we were taught back in the day when 

we had catalogs on little cards. The entries will even tell you if there is a copy of the book you 

are looking for currently in the library. Just look in the far left column and it will say something 

like 1 of 1 available. If it says 0 of 1 available, the book is checked out. 

I appreciate the warm welcome I have received from staff and students at Catalina and look for 

ward to the rest of the year. You can contact me at kate.gallion@tusd1.org of 232-8424 (but 

email is better as it is hard to run to the phone sometimes during the day.)

2011-2012 Link Crew 

Link Crew is a nationally recognized program that gives juniors and seniors 

the opportunity to connect with freshmen. Link Crew, along with several 

football players and cheerleaders, helped deliver the freshmen orientation 

on the first day of school, where they already started making connections 

with the Class of 2015. Over 300 freshmen and 50 Link Crew students, 

divided into groups, were seated on the gym floor talking, playing games, 

and getting to know one another. These same juniors and seniors are 

being trained in leadership, Entrepreneurship, and technology where they 

take what they have learned and deliver mini lessons to the freshmen 

Success classes on a monthly basis. They have already delivered their first 

lesson which covered the topic of decision making. The Link Crew students 

were very excited about how their lessons went, and have already figured 

out what improvements need to be made for their next lesson delivery 

on October 13 th . Link Crew believes that a positive experience in the 

first year of high school will help guide freshmen students in the proper 

direction with the ultimate goal being a high school diploma.

path. 

All of our programs have rigorous and relevant curriculum, state-of-the art technology and equipment, and 

experienced teachers who have actually worked in the areas they are teaching. JTED supports our programs 

both financially and professionally. 

We invite you to learn more about our CTE programs here at CMHS and to take advantage of the opportunity 

to enhance your high school education. An educated choice now can make all the difference in being 

successful after high school.

New Professionals Join English Department 

The English Department is proud to announce the addition of four new Trojan teachers. Below, they introduce 

themselves to all friends and families: 

Dan Forsyth: I’m a Trojan for Life. That’s right: I’m from the Catalina Class of 1980 (my how time 

flies). I’m in my 12 th year of teaching: three at Gridley Middle School (back then, it was mostly PE and little 

“language arts”). Most recently, I did eight years at Palo Verde in English (mostly Juniors), with side gigs in 

running Student Council and Yearbook. My professional life has been quite varied. Over the years, I’ve been a 

sportswriter, personal trainer, radio disc jockey, electronics salesman, and worked retail middle management. 

On a personal note, I’ve been married for almost 24 years and have three kids (18, 14, and 8). My free time is 

taken by family commitments, frequent trips to Gold’s Gym, and (as often as I can afford it) vacations. 

Joan Fox: I am a published fiction writer and poet. I am current and founding editor of Three Coyotes 

literary and visual arts journal. I graduated from UC Berkeley and University of Montana. I have taught 

kindergarten through college level and love teaching at Catalina more than any other place I’ve ever taught. 

Peter Schnittman: After six years of middle school, Mr. Schnittman was finally promoted to high school 

this year. He is very happy to be here and especially enjoys seeing how well his former students are doing. 

When he’s not here at Catalina, Mr. S. can be found playing the bass in various settings around Tucson and 

spending time with his beautiful wife. 

We also welcome Irma Chavez, who joins us from Project MORE!

CHS FOUNDATION BEGINS FIFTH YEAR 

This is the fifth year of activities for the Catalina High School Foundation. School supplies of all kinds, clothing, 

and food were collected to assist Susan Curtis, Dropout Prevention Specialist, as she helps all needy students 

on campus have a good school year. 

The week before school started, the Foundation served a small breakfast to the teachers prior to their faculty 

meeting, and folders were distributed to each teacher detailing the purposes and functions of the Foundation. 

Several grants worth up to $500 each have been awarded to teachers to supplement their teaching activities in 

the classroom for the first semester. Teachers must apply for these grants. 

The fine arts department has asked the Foundation to assist them with their proposed Fine Arts Festival in the 

new Performing Arts Center later this year. Three Catalina alumni who are local professional artists have been 

asked to speak to students and parents at the festival about their careers in art. Also Catalina students have 

been challenged to design a logo (symbol) for the Foundation which will be printed on stationary, publications, 

and brochures. The student with the winning design will be awarded $50. 

The 2011 Alumnus of the Year has been selected. He will be on campus at a later date to speak to students 

about his career during an assembly. You will read more about this special alumnus in a future issue of the 

Trojan Update.

GRAD NIGHT 2012 

For the third consecutive year, the parents of Catalina students are providing a fun and 

safe environment in which students can celebrate their graduation. This year the theme is 

Under the Big Top Circus. We have already had an initial planning meeting but will welcome 

many, many more helpers/planners at our next meeting. It is a lot of work but the parents have 

as much fun doing the planning and during the event as the kids do. 

For just $50 the students will have an entire night of food and fun. The kids are kept safe 

and cannot leave without parental permission. They come into the gym after the graduation 

ceremony and are fed a delicious dinner. Afterwards, there is dancing, games, movies and 

loads of snacks and drinks. There will be great entertainment also but we can’t share it in this 

article in case the students read it. We want them to be surprised! 

A ticket to grad night would make a great birthday gift, holiday gift or early graduation 

gift or a reward for wonderful grades.To buy the ticket see Ms. Herlein in the Finance Office. 

We would love to see many more parents at our next meeting on Wednesday October 

26 at 6pm in the lobby of Hines Gym. 


HOSA Club Busy this Fall 

The Catalina HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) is 

busy working on philanthropic projects for Catalina and the community. 

During the last week of September, students worked in conjunction with 

Susan Curtis, Drop -out Prevention Coordinator, and the Catalina Family 

Wellness Center to hold a school-wide personal hygiene item drive. 

Many of our students do not have sufficient funds to purchase their own 

toiletries and Susan and the Wellness Center can provide those items to 

students in need. HOSA students distributed containers to classrooms 

and were able to collect shampoos, toothbrushes, soap and other personal 

items that can be used by those in need. 

If you have personal hygiene items you wish to donate, contact 

Susan Curtis at 232-84 or Michelle Gonzalez, HOSA Advisor, at 232-8439. 

On Saturday October 29 th , HOSA members will also be walking as part of 

Team Catalina to fight juvenile diabetes. The Juvenile Diabetes Research 

Association is holding their Walk to Cure Diabetes at Rillito Park. The 

students are trying to fundraise in order to donate to find a cure. You too can participate or donate at www. 

jdrf.org.

Deaf Awareness Week 

In the World Language Dept., as part of the Authentic 

Language Use Library grant project, Alicia Lara’s Spanish 

classroom & Natasha Escalada-Westland’s classroom have 

begun using 14 refurbished computers to access study 

materials on DVD’s and the internet. 

Also, you may have noticed over the last week, posters 

explaining and celebrating ASL, Deaf history and culture. 

This is part of a recognition project for Deaf Awareness 

Week, normally celebrated the last week of September. 

Ms. Escalada-Westland’s ASL students researched and developed posters depicting famous Deaf people, important 

milestones for the Deaf community & interesting facts about American Sign Language & Deaf culture. 

Take a look in our front hallway near the administration offices and find out something you didn’t know about 

the Deaf!
