in the united states alone, there are more 

than 2 million students enrolled in nearly 

7,300 Catholic schools. the theme for this 

year’s national Catholic school week was: 

“Faith•Knowledge• Discipline•Morals: 

Dividends for Life” 

to honor retiring bishop patrick Cooney, 

GtACs students, families, and staff 

donated $1,217 to his education 

endowment fund for the northern 

Michigan Catholic Foundation. 

SPRING 2010 

was part of his ordination on December 1, 2009. the self-proclaimed “Rookie 

bishop” won the hearts of students by invoking his authority to grant a day off 

on the Monday following the Mass. students and families honored the bishop 

by presenting him with a basket full of prayers and welcome messages. After 

the Mass, st. Francis alumna, Miriam pico, continued the celebration by leading 

everyone in praise music. 

“ For anyone pessimistic about the state of the Church in Northern Michigan, I would 

recommend a visit to the Grand Traverse Area Catholic Schools. My time at GTACS 

during Catholic Schools Week confirmed for me the potential that our schools have to 

produce young men and women who are well-equipped with the love of truth and the 

appreciation of beauty that has long distinguished Catholic scholarship and imagination. 

The students impressed me by their knowledge of the Faith and are clearly benefiting 

from the guidance and example of a faculty and administration that is passionately and 

authentically Catholic. I have no doubt that the selfless sacrifices parents are making 

today in favor of a Christ-centered education for their children are going to bear great 

fruit for the Church in the future. I am already looking forward to my next visit.” 

- Bishop Bernard Hebda

REFLECTIONS FROM FATHER BILL 

This past July 15th, I assumed my present position as Chaplain to the Grand Traverse Area Catholic 

School System. Where has the time gone since then? The days and weeks have flown by. Well, as the 

saying goes, that is the way it is supposed to be when you are having fun! 

I feel so privileged to have this opportunity. I love being here! Students, staff and parents have all made me 

feel so welcome. As Chaplain, I am able to be in all four schools including chapel, classrooms, lunch rooms 

and even the playground. I even have an office at each school. To those of you who know the story at Holy 

Angels, I will be on the slide again in the spring (I was the first one down it when it was dedicated in 2002). 

I have truly enjoyed embracing school life and being with the students – from being an honorary drum 

major, to being on Ford Field with the football team when they won the State Championship, to even having 

a role in this year’s high school musical, Bye Bye Birdie, as the voice of Ed Sullivan. For those of you who 

remember the real Ed Sullivan, he might have said it like this: It was a great, great, shoooooooooooowww! 

The ultimate joy, of course, is simply being a priest. Growing up, I did not attend a Catholic school. As I 

talk with students and listen to their stories, I feel so appreciative to be part of Catholic school life. At the 

same time, I emphasize the backbone of our school system – the parish to which you belong. We should all 

be reminded that we must be active in our parish and give back. Thank you for your continued support of 

Catholic education.

ACT SCORES 

The class of 2009 had an average composite AcT score of 23.8 

(includes math, English, reading, and science), which is more than 

2 points above regional, state, and national averages! 

COLLEGE BOUND SF GRADUATES 

Did you know that nearly 100% of the students in the sF class of 2009 are pursuing 

post-secondary education? 

Did you know that this class was offered over $3 million in scholarships & awards 

based on academic, athletic, and artistic abilities? 

Did you know that five students from the sF class of 2009 were accepted into 

fine arts programs throughout the country? 

“ After just a few shorts weeks at Notre Dame, one thing became clear – what you learn in 

high school matters. After my meeting to declare my intentions for next year, even my advisor 

commented on how well my high school had prepared me for my transition to Notre Dame.” 

Julie Doherty, SF Class of 2009, Valedictorian 

Notre Dame Dean’s List – Fall 2009 Semester 

“ St. Francis really helped prepare me for the amount of coursework and the level of academics 

at the University of Michigan.” 

Adam Karpinski, SF Class of 2009 

“ 

From my first semester in college, it was immediately apparent how fortunate I was to have 

studied at St. Francis High School. Not only did I enter college with a few credits already 

accumulated, but I felt, and still feel, extremely prepared. The level of academic preparation 

provided at St. Francis is excellent, with a curriculum parallel to that of many college-level 

courses. While in high school, I was able to participate fully in the marching band, choir and 

drama. Being active in so many areas of the arts, as well as being prepared academically, 

not only provided me with great opportunities, but I knew exactly what I wanted to do before 

I graduated. My experience at St. Francis contributed to helping me establish a hard-working 

mentality to get to where I am headed as a person, in my academic life, and in the theatrical 

life I am determined to pursue.”

theme “Music of Motown.” 

Attendees will walk into a lavishly decorated homage to the 

sound of Motown with music’s greatest artists of rhythm and 

blues, soul, hip-hop and pop. 

“in addition to glittery décor and giant records, musical entertainment will keep the crowd hopping,” 

said co-chair Kim schmitz, who is in her second year of co-chairing the event with her husband, peter. 

“we wanted something fun featuring music that all generations love and relate to,” said schmitz. “we definitely 

wanted to add another element to Gladhander, which is without a doubt the best party in town.” 

the 28th Annual Gladhander Auction will take place saturday, october 30. since it began, it has raised more 

than $8.3 million to benefit the students of the Grand traverse Area Catholic schools, growing into traverse 

City’s oldest and most prestigious gala event. tickets for the very popular car raffle will go on-sale in August;

GREAT THINGS HAPPENING AT GTACS 

St. Francis High School presented Bye Bye Birdie on 

six different dates in February under the direction of 

Jenn Miles, Whitney richardson, and Holly Olszewski. 

The show had record attendance with more than 

1,500 people and also boasted the largest cast, crew, 

and pit in the past four years with 60 high school and 

middle school students (even Father Bill lipscomb had 

a role!) This year’s cast was pleased to revitalize the 

show, which was originally performed in 1981 at 

St. Francis High School. The story, set in 1959, is a 

satire and told with the fondest affection for an Elvis-type character, Conrad Birdie, 

who is about to be drafted into the army. The show was a crowd pleaser and was fun 

for the whole family. Save the date of February 2011 for the next St. Francis musical 

production. Musical name to be announced in the fall of 2010.

“A great cross-section of kids.” Jenn Miles, Director 

“ It’s a wonderful way to bring the whole school together.” 

Holly Olszewski, Music Director 

The St. Francis Gladiator Football Team won the State Championship at Ford Field by defeating 

Hudson 42-8 on November 28th. This was the 8th State Championship title and back-to-back 

state champions for 2008 and 2009. The team’s theme this year was based on proverbs 27:17, 

“Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” 

A school history point of interest: St. Francis did have back-to-back football championships in 

1973 and 1974, but there was not a “play-off system” in place. State champions were voted on by 

the Associated press. The 1973 team was coached by the late Waldo Keating and the 1974 team 

was coached by larry Sellers. MHSAA playoffs did not begin until 1975. (Source: Faith and 

Knowledge: The History of Grand Traverse Area Catholic Schools).

patrick Wilson and Josh Kurtz made school 

history by winning the State Championship 

for #3 doubles in boys tennis on October 17th. 

The team finished 5th overall in the State. 

Mr. BUEll GOES TO 

WASHINGTON 

in May 2009, GtACs superintendent, Mike buell, 

accepted an invitation to meet with united states 

senate leaders and experts to discuss promoting 

healthy eating habits and increasing physical activity 

in students. the meeting was held in washington 

D.C. in the united states Capitol, and Mr. 

buell was one of fifteen leaders from around the 

country who was invited to address a senate steering 

and outreach committee. this invitation was 

in response to GtACs’ Life balance initiative (Lbi) 

developed in 2007. GtACs made an important 

commitment to combat childhood obesity and to 

provide our students with skills and resources that 

can lead to a lifetime of good habits by providing 

healthy, unprocessed, fresh and whole foods and 

promoting farm to school buying structure that 

supports local producers. 

superintendent buell commented, 

“i was honored to 

travel to washington D.C. 

to share with committee 

members key components

to play volleyball at st. Francis university in new York and heather Larsen will be playing 

softball at Denison university in ohio. 

ben swan is looking at offers to play football 

at the Division i and ii levels. GtACs 

Athletic Director, tom hardy, commented, 

“to have so many members of 

our senior class receive recognition and 

offers is a testament to their discipline, 

dedication, and family support.” 

Max bullough was also named to the 

Detroit Free press’ 2009 All-state Dream 

team which recognizes the “best of the 

best” for each position regardless of the 

division in which they play. Max was one 

of only two players to receive this honor 

in the state for two years in a row. he 

also received the Ron holland scholar-Athlete Award for having a grade point average of 

3.96, which was the highest of all of the honorees. 

in addition, ben schell received the Michigan high school Athletic Association scholar- 

Athlete Award. only 32 individuals state-wide will receive this award. he is also only the 

third st. Francis student to have ever received this honor. in ben’s essay, he wrote: “by practicing 

true sportsmanship, you will develop your whole person – mind, body, and spirit – and 

that will carry into your daily life.”

Holy angels and Immaculate 

Conception Students raise 

almost $2,000 in six weeks 

on november 24, 2009, students 

at holy Angels and immaculate 

Conception elementary schools 

left behind their Catholic school 

uniforms and arrived to school in their pajamas 

as a reward for collecting almost 20,000 box 

tops for education. A spirited contest of clipping 

cardboard labels off of qualifying products ran 

for a six week period. each label was worth ten 

cents to the school. in a typical year, students 

raise about $500. however, in the six week contest, 

holy Angels brought in 9,936 box tops and 

immaculate Conception 9,206 box tops. holy 

Angels parent and box top Coordinator, bridget 

thuente remarked, “the contest was very close, 

and the competition was very intense -- many 

families who had children at both schools had 

very heated discussions on which child got to 

bring in box tops for their school! the children 

put their hearts and souls into this contest. i 

couldn’t walk through the hallways at school 

without having kids running up to me, telling me 

proudly how many box tops they collected. the 

competition truly took on a life of its own! it was 

a fun way in a tough economy to earn money 

for our schools.” A check was presented for 

$1,914.20 to the elementary school principals, 

Mr. Matt bauman (immaculate Conception) and 

Mrs. Janet troppman (holy Angels). interested 

in helping this continued effort? visit the GtACs 

website at www.gtacs.org under GtACs news

STEWARDS OF CREATION 

the photo at right is from a stewards of Creation prayer retreat to the Companions of Christ which is at 

the Lamb Catholic Retreat Center in paradise, Michigan. the students built eight foot tall crosses and 

carried them more than a mile to discover the literal meaning of “carrying our crosses,” and experiencing 

just a hint of Christ’s way of the Cross. Arriving on “prayer hill” with their crosses, the students 

nailed to the cross lists of the ways they separate themselves from God. oh, and it was rainy and cold! 

stewards of Creation was formed to provide opportunities for st. Francis’ young men and women to 

explore, experience, and preserve God’s creation in nature. As a school-sponsored, Christ-centered 

group, all activities include scripture study, prayer, and reflection on the purpose and stewardship of 

God’s great blessings in our natural world. Activities include a spring break prayer retreat to the Great 

smoky Mountains national park, camping, hiking, backpacking, canoeing, adopt-a-park, outdoor service 

projects, and other interactions with nature. this group is led by teacher, bill strong.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN OUR REGION 

More than three tons of food were collected at the Give it Away Now! Food Drive in October. parish families 

and students worked together with the goal of collecting enough food to fill a 70 passenger school bus. The effort 

resulted in an amazing 6,725 pounds of food being collected for the Father Fred Foundation food pantry. 

Spearheaded by the lIFE TEEN UNDErGrOUND youth group, the Give it Away Now! Food Drive provided 

an opportunity to work as one Catholic family to accomplish a corporal work of mercy by feeding the hungry. 

GRAND TRAVERSE AREA CATHOLIC SCHOOLS 

K - 5TH GRADERS SPREAD CHRISTMAS CHEER BY 

CONTINUING A COMMUNITY TRADITION 

holy Angels Kindergarten-2nd graders and immaculate conception 3rd-5th Graders spread 

christmas cheer on Friday, December 18th at the Traverse city state Theatre. students brought 

500 toys to donate to children in our community. The toys were delivered by the Traverse city 

Fire Department Toy program. in return, the state Theatre showed a free christmas movie to 

these children to thank them for their donations. 

the toy collection by tC Firefighters Local 646 has 

been a community tradition for more than 50 years. 

it has been a dream of immaculate Conception 4th 

grade teacher, Miss Jan Cleland, to get students 

involved in this tradition as it was part of her fondest 

childhood memories. her father, Al Cleland, was a firefighter 

and later a captain. Miss Cleland remarked, “As 

a child in the 1960s, i remember walking down to the 

fire station from st. Francis school and seeing all of the 

toys. they were beautiful and looked new again. the 

fire department would pick a saturday before Christmas 

to collect all of the toys at the state theatre. the admission 

to the movie was a donated toy. parents would pull up in front of the theatre and children would 

jump out with their toys in hand. it was such a great feeling of love and everyone had such a great time. 

i have been wondering for awhile if we could bring that tradition back. this is a dream come true for me 

to bring back an event that made so many children happy to know that they had helped another child 

and reinforce the lesson that it is truly better to give than receive. it has been so heart warming to see 

the excitement of our local firefighters, state theatre staff, GtACs teachers, and students. everyone has 

been amazing, and it’s all for the love of children in our community. i am so pleased that we can partner 

with the state theatre and the local fire department for the second year of restoring this tradition.”

The 1877 legacy Society was recently formed to recognize those alumni and friends who have shown 

generosity and foresight by making planned or deferred gifts to the Grand Traverse Area Catholic 

Schools. Members of the 1877 legacy Society have made outright bequests in their wills, or have made 

other planned gifts such as life insurance, real estate, or retirement assets. Members who have chosen to 

make such gifts often find that they also provide significant tax and financial benefits (for specific tax or 

legal advice, please consult an attorney or accountant). 

A recognition plaque that lists all members of the 1877 legacy Society will be created within 

St. Francis High School. 

Will you consider “adopting” GTACS as one of your children in your estate plan?
