helping each student achieve her potential.<br />
• COMPASSION & SERVICE—We reverence the dignity of each person and we advocate on behalf<br />
of the poor.<br />
• CONCERN FOR WOMEN & WOMEN’S ISSUES—We commit ourselves to be advocates <strong>for</strong><br />
the needs of women, to value the contribution they make <strong>for</strong> the good of society, and through<br />
education, to empower them to do so.<br />

that values the customs, cultures and contributions of others, and facilitates a sense of<br />
interdependency and responsibility.<br />

and reflects the experience of women.<br />
• COLLABORATION—We practice skills in communication, cooperation, responsibility and<br />
appreciation <strong>for</strong> what we can learn from others.
Message from the President<br />
Sr. Patricia Wolf, RSM ‘62<br />
This letter begins with two pieces of good<br />
news, the first being to recognize the achievements<br />
of the Class of 20<strong>09</strong>. All 160 seniors<br />
graduated; 96 percent have gone on to two or<br />
four year colleges and earned more than $2.3<br />
million in academic scholarships and grants.<br />
I also recognize the successful completion of<br />
<strong>SCA</strong>’s third year review by the Middle <strong>St</strong>ates Association<br />
<strong>for</strong> Colleges and Secondary Schools.<br />
This Middle <strong>St</strong>ates accreditation reflects our<br />
high standard of academic excellence.<br />
In a year marked by some harsh economic<br />
realities, this <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> reflects many<br />
positive areas of activity.<br />
Finances and Alumnae Support<br />
Despite the somber economic reality, support<br />
by alumnae and friends continued to grow. I<br />
acknowledge in a special way the providence<br />
of the RTS Family Foundation <strong>for</strong> providing<br />
a grant <strong>for</strong> tuition assistance. I also acknowledge<br />
our success in meeting the terms of the<br />
challenge grant of $30,000 which matched<br />
each new dollar raised in the <strong>Annual</strong> Fund. I<br />
am grateful beyond words <strong>for</strong> your generosity<br />
which helped us meet this milestone.<br />
2013. A basic expectation requires classrooms<br />
be equipped with Smart Boards or projector<br />
capability. At <strong>SCA</strong>, 85 percent of our classrooms<br />
are fully equipped with Smart Boards,<br />
all classrooms have internet access, and each<br />
room has at least one instructional computer.<br />
We are continually working to have every<br />
classroom equipped as an optimum learning<br />
environment <strong>for</strong> faculty and student use.<br />
However, because the pace of change in<br />
technology is relentless and the cost to keep<br />
abreast very significant, we established a<br />
Technology Advisory Committee. I am<br />
delighted to announce that Joanne Scarcella<br />
Clemente, PhD ‘63, Director of Online Instruction<br />
at Dominican College, Orangeburg,<br />
New York, will provide the visionary leadership<br />
<strong>for</strong> this endeavor.<br />
Professional Development and<br />
Learning Teams<br />
Critical to keeping pace with technology and<br />
student learning styles is the professional<br />
development of faculty and administration.<br />
To this end, professional learning teams have<br />
been established under the leadership of our<br />
Principal, Sr. Ann M. Welch, RSM.<br />
disciplines, as well as teams utilizing a crossdisciplinary<br />
approach.<br />
The process involves a review of the curriculum,<br />
coupled with analysis of student<br />
progress. Where student weaknesses are<br />
identified, strategies are developed that are<br />
student-focused and results oriented.<br />
Governance<br />
Our Board of Trustees is comprised of sixteen<br />
persons, including Sisters of Mercy, men and<br />
women, and other religious colleagues.<br />
Trustees generally serve two three-year terms.<br />
I am immensely grateful to trustees, Karen<br />
Adragna D’Aleo ‘71, Chair, and JoMarie<br />
DiGirolomo Pica, who completed their terms<br />
this year. I am delighted to welcome Kathleen<br />
McCarrick Weiden, PhD ‘75, Director of<br />
Tax, the LeFrak Organization and John May,<br />
attorney. Carolyn Tragni, Executive Dean,<br />
Mercy College, Dobbs Ferry, was appointed<br />
to a second term.<br />
As I look back on the year, the challenges<br />
have been great, but so have the opportunities.<br />
I am privileged to serve as President<br />
Technology and Classroom 2013<br />
Because technology is so pervasive to the learning<br />
environment, our <strong>St</strong>rategic Plan calls <strong>for</strong><br />
us to develop our vision <strong>for</strong> the Classroom of<br />
The purpose of the teams is to provide a<br />
systematic process <strong>for</strong> analyzing the impact<br />
of professional practices on student learning.<br />
This is done in teams representing the same<br />
partnering with our sponsors and committed<br />
Board of Trustees, Sr. Ann M. Welch, RSM,<br />
Principal, and the <strong>SCA</strong> faculty and staff.<br />

Message from the Principal<br />
Sr. Ann M. Welch, RSM<br />
A unique privilege of the Principal is to shed<br />
light on the day to day activities of the school<br />
and the successes of our students. Daily, 720<br />
students enter the doors of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharine</strong><br />
<strong>Academy</strong>, and proceed to go to class, participate<br />
in co-curricular activities, make new<br />
friends, and slowly but surely, change from<br />
girls into young women.<br />
So much happens in one day that it is easy to<br />
miss the moments of triumph, big and small.<br />
Writing my letter <strong>for</strong> this <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
helps me to recall these special moments. It is<br />
with pride that I share them with you.<br />

Message from Chair of the Board of Trustees<br />
Sr. Ann Veronica Bivona, RSM<br />
There is something about the crisp air of<br />
October that stirs the heart of an educator.<br />
It speaks of new beginnings filled with the<br />
promise of fresh ideas and swirling challenges.<br />
The indoor activity at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharine</strong> <strong>Academy</strong><br />
mirrors that of the fall season. Once again, this<br />
school is poised to deliver to its students the<br />
knowledge that will eventually lead to wisdom<br />
and ultimately to the Source of all Wisdom.<br />
Through many seasons and challenges, that<br />
promise has been kept by the founding Sisters<br />
of Mercy and their educational colleagues. It is<br />
a promise that continues today as we enthusiastically<br />
embrace Catherine McAuley’s vision<br />
of empowering young women through service<br />
and quality education, both essential elements<br />
of education “in the Mercy tradition”.<br />
For many years I have served on the board<br />
of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharine</strong> <strong>Academy</strong>. There, I have<br />
witnessed the incredible contributions made<br />
<br />
by this cohesive group of dedicated, skilled<br />
professionals. Keeping faithful to both vision<br />
and promise, their sole desire is to work with<br />
school leadership to advance the educational<br />
mission of <strong>SCA</strong>.<br />
As we enter another academic year, our history<br />
reminds us that the same winds that bring the<br />
swirling challenges also carry the freshness of<br />
creative ideas to meet them. With joyful enthusiasm<br />
then, we open our doors and let fall in!<br />

Why Women Give<br />
An <strong>SCA</strong> Perspective<br />
As a group, women are having a growing impact on fundraising ef<strong>for</strong>ts in the U.S. A recent book by Sondra Shaw-Hardy and Martha A. Taylor takes a<br />
serious look at this, and examines the influences on women’s charitable giving. The authors found many women are motivated to give when they experience a<br />
personal connection with the organization, are passionate about its purpose, and see their involvement as an opportunity to make a positive change.<br />
Intrigued by the findings of the authors, we invited two <strong>SCA</strong> alumnae to share their perspectives on this subject. Both agreed to do so, although one wished to<br />
be anonymous, and that has been honored.<br />
Jennifer Torchetti ‘00 Gratitude and Connection<br />
Jennifer Torchetti is part of the younger generation of alumnae whose support of <strong>SCA</strong> is tangible and consistent. She believes that<br />
her peers, most of whom were members of the honors’ classes, also have maintained a strong sense of connection and support <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>SCA</strong>. Speaking of the positive influence of the school in her life, Jennifer says, “It’s where I began to focus my goals and it played a<br />
major part in my becoming an adult.” Now, within reach of achieving her high school goal of acquiring her Ph.D by the time she<br />
is thirty, Jennifer believes that her education in private schools has been one of the most influential factors in her life. “You talk to<br />
other people and you realize how incredibly privileged you were to have a private education, rooted in faith and social justice.” She<br />
is earnest about ensuring that the support she experienced at <strong>SCA</strong> be there <strong>for</strong> other girls.<br />
Jennifer maintains strong connections with <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharine</strong>’s, through friends, faculty and Pathways – and she believes this is a factor<br />
in her motivation to support the mission. “I still feel like I’m involved in what they are doing.”<br />
Anonymous Alumna<br />
Several circumstances converged that caused our “anonymous alum” to remember her time at <strong>SCA</strong>: Her own daughters were completing their<br />
education; she was growing in her awareness of the vigorous fund-raising campaigns being undertaken by the men’s schools; and, she was<br />
moving to the realization that there was a great need to help others. “<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharine</strong>’s was a wonderful school to help us think beyond<br />
ourselves, and that stayed with me”, she says.<br />
Believing that the school had started her off on the right foot, she says, “I wanted to help girls of any faith have the education and<br />
opportunity I had”. She is passionately committed to education in many <strong>for</strong>ms, and sees better education as a means of empowerment,<br />
leading to a better job. But her support <strong>for</strong> <strong>SCA</strong> is based on more than that: “It was such a wonderful environment. That’s why<br />
I give to <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharine</strong>’s. It was a proud moment in my life, and I would like that experience to be there <strong>for</strong> other young ladies!”<br />

Gifts <strong>for</strong> Scholarships and Tuition Assistance at <strong>SCA</strong><br />
Gifts that provide scholarships and student tuition assistance are<br />
among the most important contributions that an alumna or friend can<br />
make to <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharine</strong> <strong>Academy</strong>. These gifts:<br />
• mean important educational opportunities <strong>for</strong> students who have<br />
earned the privilege of attending <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharine</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> but who<br />
lack the resources to accept offers of admission.<br />
• assist families who can pay a portion of the costs, but who cannot<br />
manage the full burden of tuition cost.<br />
Recipients of scholarships through the Tri-<strong>St</strong>ate Italian Foundation:<br />
(l to r) Daniele Mannara ‘10, Dana Bonfiglio ‘11 and Danielle DiMichele ‘<strong>09</strong>.<br />
Making a Daily Difference<br />
I am a recipient of the Viola D. Hank Scholarship. I am writing to thank you from the bottom of my heart <strong>for</strong> the financial help<br />
you have given me. My younger brother goes to Catholic school and my older brother is in his third year of college. Money is tight<br />
<strong>for</strong> my parents. My scholarship is truly a blessing. I am working hard in school and your financial help has inspired me to pursue<br />
my dream of becoming a doctor. I have also been inspired to one day help someone just as you helped me.<br />
