Our mission is to provide quality secondary education that is faithful to the Gospel, Catholic<br />

Mission <strong>St</strong>atement<br />

tradition, and the educational values of the Sisters of Mercy. We do this by combining academic<br />

excellence with educational processes that<br />

• encourage the development of women’s leadership,<br />

• respect ethnic and cultural diversity present in our world,<br />

• promote service of others.<br />

Vision <strong>St</strong>atement<br />

Our vision is to prepare our students to take their full, equal place as women in church and society, and<br />

to make this education available to all who seek it, especially the poor and underprivileged of our time.<br />

Core Values<br />

• EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE—We demonstrate openness to new ways of educating and<br />

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 />

• WORLD VISION & RESPONSIBILITY—We commit to the development of a global perspective<br />

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

interdependency and responsibility.<br />

• SPIRITUAL GROWTH—We nurture a spirituality that is rooted in gratitude, expressed in service,<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 />

light on the day to day activities of the school<br />

students enter the doors of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharine</strong><br />

miss the moments of triumph, big and small.<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 />
