Celebrating 140 Years of Milestones and Memories 

Varsity Baseball Field

This year St. Mary’s High School is celebrating its 140th year in the Stockton community. We are having a number of activities 

celebrating our school’s history. 

Beginning on Friday, August 28, we celebrated a school-wide Mass on the exact day St. Mary’s opened in 1876. Bishop 

Stephen Blaire was the celebrant for this Opening Mass. With him was Father Richard Morse, O.S.F.S., current pastor of St. 

Mary’s of the Annunciation Catholic Church in Oakdale, CA. Father Morse was one of the first Oblates from Toledo, Ohio that 

came to St. Mary’s in 1970 and served as the Dean of Boys. Also assisting in the liturgy was Father John George, O.S.F.S., 

who is an Oblate of St. Francis de Sales from India. Father John George has been a member of our staff for three years. Also 

in attendance were representatives from the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael - Sister Maureen McInerney, Prioress General, 

Sister Gervaise Valpey (’57), Sister Abby Newton and Sister Katherine Hamilton. Sister Gervaise spoke to the students about 

her memories as a student at St. Mary’s. 

Father John Fallon, O.S.F.S, President Emeritus, gave the students a history of St. Mary’s High School from the beginnings to the current location. In 

addition, there were other distinguished guests at this Mass along with members of the Class of 1957 who were the first graduating class at the El Dorado 

Street campus. 

Other events this year to celebrate our 140 years of Catholic secondary education includes the President’s Club Dinner on November 8, 2015. The special 

guest speaker is Pat McCaskey who is a Chicago Bears board member, author of two books and known for his Catholic faith. In addition, St. Mary’s will 

have a display at the Haggin Museum on the history of St. Mary’s in Stockton. We are also planning a gala dinner on April 16, 2016, to celebrate this 

milestone in our school’s history. 

At the Mass, the entire student body including teachers and staff, wore green t-shirts with the words: “WE ARE ST. MARY’S, Celebrating 140 Years of 

Milestones and Memories.” What we truly celebrate is the many friendships that individuals have established here as students, and we celebrate the 

friends who support our mission. Jesus spoke to us about friendship with four simple words. “I call you friends.” (John 15:15). When He spoke those 

words to His apostles - and to all of us - Jesus transformed friendship into something divine. Friendship, from that moment, became an imitation of Christ 

and a path to holiness. 

Friendship draws us outside ourselves, as we care for our friends’ concerns instead of our own. We give friends our time, help, advice, consolation and, 

most importantly, our prayers. With every prayer, then, we draw closer to the Lord and to our friends. St. Francis de Sales said, “Those who are in the world 

need friendships in order to secure and assist one another amid the many dangerous passages through which they must pass.” Francis called friendship 

“a sacred trust” and described a perfect friendship as one that is good, holy and enduring. Friendship, the very heart of Christian life, helps us grow so 

that we are better able to know ourselves. St. Mary’s High School has developed over the years many deep and lasting friendships. 

As we continue to celebrate, we are reminded that the main purpose of Catholic education is to prepare students to become responsible citizens in 

society. The coming events are also a celebration of our ability to educate and to teach religious truths and practices to our students throughout San 

Joaquin County. 

Indeed, St. Mary’s High School is celebrating 140 years in Catholic secondary education. More importantly we are celebrating that St. Mary’s High School 

is a community based on timeless values. With prayer and the intercession of Mary, our Blessed Mother, and Saint Francis de Sales, we will continue to 

celebrate God’s blessing on our school and community for another 140 years.

YOU DO THE MATH – CELEBRATING 140 

YEARS IN THE STOCKTON COMMUNITY 

Kathy Smith 

While much has changed since 1876, the mission of Saint Mary’s High School remains at its core the same - 

dedicated to the academic excellence that prepares each of our students for college and for a life that reflects 

Christian principles. 

As we celebrate this milestone, it is evident throughout our history, and almost everywhere you turn, 140 is a 

significant number. For example, the above mathematical equation from our Math instructor, Mr. Dwight Swanson, 

includes the school phone number, the calendar year, the school address, the zip code, the founding year and the 

year St. Mary’s moved to our present school site, all of which equals 140. We have even found our place within 

social media in that Twitter is allotted 140 characters. 

Although twitter is limited to 140 characters, there is no limit to what Saint Mary’s High School can and will do 

in the future. For 140 years of milestones and memories, Saint Mary’s High School has flourished on a strong 

foundation. We must challenge ourselves if we are going to continue to move forward. To paraphrase the words 

of Pope Francis: We must live in the present, and revere tradition, but we need to take the initiative and create the 

future. We need to see today’s opportunity fully because it is the only opportunity we are certain of having. We 

cannot shrink from change in a fearful way, but we need to drive change with hope and optimism. We must run to 

the future, not from it. 

Ms. Laura Wilkinson, our Math Department Chair, noticed that 140 equals the sum of the perfect squares of the 

first seven integers. 

You do the math: 

Saint Mary’s High School may not meet the definition of a mathematical “perfect” square, but for our first 140 years, 

near perfection is not so bad. The level of success we have achieved would not be possible if it were not for our 

dedicated faculty and staff; you, our partners in the community; our committed leadership from Bishop Stephen 

Blaire; our administrators and the Board of Directors. 

The title of this publication, Traditions says it all. The 140 th celebration is a memorable time for our school. Saint 

Mary’s High School is built on tradition. We look forward to the next 140 years with great excitement.

class of 2015 

“In the future we will encounter many new and exciting changes— 

opportunities in which we can influence each other in ways similar to 

how we have been influenced. And in looking forward to the many 

possibilities we will all have, I repeat what Mr. Morelli says often, that 

you are to be who you are and be that well. This classic line which we 

know all too well comes from one of Saint Francis de Sales’ letter to 

Saint Jane de Chantal, in which he also said, “Let us be what we are 

and be that well so that we can bring honor to the Master Craftsman 

whose handiwork we are.” He goes onto say that even if we were to 

become the most perfect creatures under heaven, what good would 

that do us if we were not as God’s will would have us be. So Class of 

2015, as you go on to become the next great 

faces of the world, let us never forget to go to 

Mass, to pray the rosary, and to love God with 

all that you are so that you can become the 

person whom God created you to be.” 

Peter Rainwater 

Valedictorian, Class of 2015 

“There’s really something about this class of 2015. Throughout my 

four years I have always had this thought lingering in my mind. That 

the people who I was surrounded by, had a certain kind of spark. 

Like many teachers and parents may have realized, we have never 

taken no for an answer. We’ve been able to keep high grades and 

test scores, while still staying connected with our fellow friends and 

families. We’ve been successful on the courts, fields, and tracks, 

while still being successful in the classrooms. We have not been 

afraid to question the world around us, to question past beliefs and 

methods, and to sometimes question authority; 

because, by nature, this class of 2015 does 

not settle. We go out there and achieve what 

we believe must be achieved. And because of 

this, I see us all truly becoming a guiding force 

in the years to come.”

Excerpt from Fr. Fallon’s letter to St. Mary’s community: 

Let me let you in on the story of a startup which did not begin in Silicon Valley but found its roots in the Central Valley… 

At its beginning, St. Mary’s High School was very much like the modern-day start up. It had few resources but had the faith to follow through with a dream. That 

dream of providing Catholic secondary education to the young people of the San Joaquin began to take shape when the Irish Catholic wife of the founder of the city 

of Stockton, Captain Weber, persuaded her husband to donate a tract of land on which St. Mary’s would eventually stand. Another dream shaper was Archbishop 

Sadoc Alameny, the first archbishop of San Francisco who persuaded the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael to leave their convent in the temperate climate of Benicia 

to make what he called a “little sacrifice” to come to Stockton with its often unbearable heat, to raise funds for the building of the school. The sisters did their 

fundraising by horse and buggy. 

The first teachers were the Dominican Sisters who have maintained a constant presence even to today. Over these many years, the Dominicans were joined by the 

Franciscans, Diocesan Priests, Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary and since 1970, the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales. The coming of the Oblates introduced the 

school to the spirituality of St. Francis de Sales, one of our current patrons. The Spirituality of St. Francis de Sales has been wholeheartedly embraced by the school 

community and it is one of our hallmarks. Our milestones over these 140 years are made up of the memories of people who have been part of us…

BROADCASTING LIVE FROM SMHS 

- Karl Winter (’18) 

St. Mary’s has debuted a Broadcasting course this year, amid great excitement from participating students 

and teachers alike. The Broadcasting 1 class, which fulfills a Fine Arts requirement for the tech-savvy student, 

was established by the radical ideas of Mr. Paul Scheet, our AP U.S. History teacher and longtime football 

broadcaster for St. Mary’s. Mr. Scheet’s knowledge of the equipment, theories, and behind-the-scenes work 

involved with all types of broadcasts and television elements, have proved invaluable to the students, allowing 

them to take control of the information and apply it to their video productions. 

The Broadcasting course has covered several aspects of television production, including sports coverage, 

interviews, sale and production of commercials, and camera terminology. With the wide variety of skills that 

have come from the first few months of class, the students have used the hands-on experience for several 

projects. 

Parker Caston (’16) enjoys the freedom for creativity in the class. He said “I like the fact that it’s a student-run 

class where we really get to do things on our own and have hands-on interaction with what goes on behind 

the scenes in broadcasting.” 

To date, we have produced live productions of all five varsity football games, as well as a volleyball match, 

two frosh football games, and the 140th Celebration Mass on smhsramstv.com. One thing the students have 

learned quickly is the need for teamwork. Samson Goudreau (’16) said, “The class is very enthusiastic and 

creative, and I like how involved everyone is. We all communicate really well to carry out the events.” 

Soon the students will be producing personally-created commercials with interviews mixed within the videos. 

They are also working on the production of a news magazine show, St. Mary’s Today, to be shown every two 

weeks beginning in the second quarter. With an abundance of television equipment and students who now 

know how to use it, as well as the burning passion of both the students and adults involved, it certainly looks 

like the sky is the limit for the brand-new St. Mary’s Broadcasting course.

iLike my iPad - Caroline Stephens (‘17) 

There’s no denying it – iPads are here to stay. From kindergarten through college, teachers are using iPads 

to deliver instruction and engage students for learning in the 21st century. The faculty at St. Mary’s has 

jumped on this technology wave and uses this new versatile tool to change the way they teach. Some of the 

most innovative instructional software is being developed specifically for iPads and with more than 15,000 

educational apps available through Apple’s app store, teachers will have no trouble finding material to use 

in the classroom. 

Our English Department Chair, Mrs. Gillespie, enjoys using her iPad to connect with other teachers and 

having limitless resources for engaging and assessing students. “The iPad has allowed me to better attend 

to the learning needs of my visual and auditory learners. I can direct them to specific sites that help them 

grasp concepts and strengthen skill sets. This intervention is immediate and helps students to understand 

that technology is not just for entertainment, but for growth and progress,” said Mrs. Gillespie. 

Every student at St. Mary’s is required to purchase an iPad for school. Although this purchase can be 

quite expensive for families, the educational benefits outweigh the cost. Students can access information 

quickly, cutting down on research time. Mrs. Kozina, our religion teacher, said, “I enjoy being able to have 

students get information instantly. No need to wait for answers.” Mrs. Kozina allowed her students to use 

the iPad to follow the Pope during his U.S. visit. 

For the students, it has been great. The iPad fits our lifestyle. It’s easier to use than the traditional computer 

and this new novelty lends itself to our curiousity and more learning. Junior Will Ramirez uses his iPad the 

most in Physics. He likes using the tablet to do calculations and take notes. It helps with homework and 

checking answers. Will also commented, “I don’t have to go to my locker as much now and I feel more 

organized for school.” 

Senior Mi’cole Cayton uses her iPad the most in English Literature. “The iPad makes it so much easier to 

take your Membean quizzes because you can access the quiz from class and don’t have to worry about 

missing the deadline,” said Mi’Cole. 

CROP 

This summer we have been busy with 

the CROP garden. We have provided 

Catholic Charities with zucchini, 

bottleneck squash, green and yellow 

beans, carrots, beets, eggplant, 

tomatoes, bell peppers, and persimmons 

on a weekly basis. We have had a very 

good harvest! 

And let’s not forget about our environment. The iPad is a paperless innovation. From homework, tests and 

digital textbooks, the iPad eliminates paper, saving dollars and our environment. Don’t believe me? Check 

it out, there’s an app for that. 

*Visit http://www.saintmaryshighschool.org/Media/Kettle.pdf to read our online student newspaper, the 

Kettle, and learn more about our students’ points of view. 

MURAL 

Beginning in late April of this year, students from the 

St. Francis de Sales Club initiated an idea to paint 

a mural surrounding the Campus Ministry Office. 

They took their ideas to art teacher, Mrs. Jean 

Aguilar, and soon their wish to honor St. Francis 

de Sales in a painting was born. With the help of 

Mrs. Aguilar and their club moderators, Mrs. Eileen 

Yeager and Mr. Harrison Brehm, a collection of 

talented club members and some of Mrs. Aguilar’s 

art students banded together through July, logging 

in many hours to complete. 

CHOIR-BAND 

Last April, Mr. David Tanner’s music department 

took home two Gold Awards at the 2015 Forum 

Music Festival. Both the Prima Voce Choir and 

Symphonic Band competed and ranked in the 

top 10% on a national scale. This spring, Mr. 

Tanner looks forward to his students competing 

in the Heritage Music Festival in Los Angeles and 

the Forum Music Festival in Santa Cruz. Good 

luck to our music department! 

Seventh and Eighth grade students who are 

interested in applying to St. Mary’s are welcome 

to spend a day with a freshman student who will 

serve as the visitor’s personal guide for the day.

A great time was had by all at the 6th Annual Olive Oil Festival in September. It was a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon, 

tasting olive oils, enjoying good food, sipping wine, listening to live entertainment and celebrating the wonderful agriculture 

from the San Joaquin Valley.

Annual Report 

2014-2015 

St. Mary’s High School has a record of responsible and prudent financial management. We continue to keep tuition increases to a minimum (an 

average annual increase of less than 1 percent) while continuing to secure more resources for financial aid in an effort to keep St. Mary’s education 

affordable for our families. With the completion of our new Athletic Performance Center, we are looking ahead to future facility improvements 

including a new Science Center and needed renovations around campus. 

We are grateful for your social, spiritual and financial support of our community. 

St. Mary’s High School is blessed with dedicated faculty, staff and administrators who continue to recognize the link between education and future 

success. We are proud of our students – what they have accomplished and what they will go on and achieve in life. The generosity of alumni and 

friends helps St. Mary’s High School provide an education that is truly superior.

the highest peak in the continental United States. They achieved the 14,505-foot climb in 14-1/2 hours, covering 22 miles. “Mental and 

physical strength is vital in order to build resilience when feeling the effects of altitude and fatigue. I owe my fitness level to the training program I follow 

as a member of the St. Mary’s volleyball team,” said Emmy. 

Class of 1983 Gloria Sandoval has been appointed deputy director of public affairs at the California Department of Parks and Recreation. 

Gloria has served as associate director of communications at the California Natural Resources Agency since 2014. She served as a public information

Class of 1996 David Giordano has been named Teacher of the Year by the faculty of Mt. Diablo School District. David teaches at Olympic 

High School in Concord and is a strong proponent of alternative education. Vice Principal Sandra Spaulding nominated David for the honor, citing his 

ability to work well with all the stakeholders: students, teachers, parents and school personnel. “He respects and reaches the at-risk students and helps 

them reach their own goals,” she said. David received both his Teaching Credential and Masters in Teaching Leadership from St. Mary’s College of 

Moraga. 

Class of 2005 Kathleen Aranda graduated from Chaminade University of Honolulu in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a

Brittany Franks graduated with honors from San Diego State University. 

Class of 2012 Lauren Fisher is debuting the new fall 2015 Nike MetCon training shoe in her own exclusive colorway – a shoe specifically 

tailored for high-intensity competitive training. “To me, strength is not only being strong in weight lifting and training, but also having that special willpower 

in your daily life. Pushing through obstacles and not listening to what others say.” At 18 years old, Fisher finished 9th in the world championships and also 

represented the United States in the Junior World Weightlifting Championships. Lauren is a senior at San Diego State University and joined the Invictus 

gym under coach C.J. Martin. Since her move, she has finished ninth overall at the 2014 Nationals and represented the United States in the Junior World 

Weightlifting Championships. 

Class of 2013 Grace Cabri visited her brother, Anthony Cabri (’15), at the Air Force Academy. 

“My parents and I were there to watch the Acceptance Day Ceremony which marks the end of Basic Training 

and the acceptance of the new freshman class into the cadet wing. We were able to talk to him for a few hours, 

check out the campus, etc. While we were visiting we stopped at his room to drop off a few things, and as we were 

standing there a familiar face happened to walk by. It turns out, Joey Carl (’13) now lives just a few doors down 

from Anthony! I couldn’t help but laugh when we found out. It’s too funny to think that the two St. Mary’s kids at the 

Academy are now living down the hall from each other!” 

Anthony Cabri (’15) 

Joey Carl (’13) 

Class of 2014 Wesley Thompson made the Dean’s List at Cal Lutheran University.

Memorial Gifts Program 

A tribute gift is a special way to honor or remember a loved one. Upon 

receipt of your contribution an acknowledgment card will be sent to the 

person designated, stating that a donation has been received in their honor. 

When you honor the memory of a deceased person, you help a student 

who has lost a parent. Memorial gifts may also benefit scholarships and 

departments. St. Mary’s living benefactors are remembered at Mass on 

the First Friday of each month. The names of the deceased are inscribed 

in our In Memoriam book and are remembered in a special Mass on the 

third Wednesday of each month in the St. Mary’s Chapel.
