<strong>St</strong>. Mary’s <strong>Central</strong><br />
<strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
A Tradition of Catholic Education Since 1878<br />
In 1878, four Sisters from the convent of <strong>St</strong>. Benedict in <strong>St</strong>. Joseph, Minnesota, arrived in Bismarck to staff<br />
what was then the <strong>St</strong>. Mary’s Academy and Boarding <strong>School</strong>. In 1916, the first high school classes were offered<br />
and the spring of 1922 brought the first graduation at <strong>St</strong>. Mary’s <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />
Be it known to all who enter here that Christ is the reason for this school. He is the unseen but<br />
ever present teacher in its classes. He is the mold of its faculty and the inspiration of its students.<br />

SMCHS Proudly Dedicates the <strong>2009</strong> - <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Annual</strong><br />
<strong>Report</strong> to the “Music Man” William J. Schmidt<br />
Bill Schmidt, “Mr. Schmidt” to most, lost his battle with<br />
cancer April 10, <strong>2010</strong>, at age 58. Mr. Schmidt was the director<br />
of instrumental music at <strong>St</strong>. Mary’s <strong>Central</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>, a<br />
position he held since 1974. In addition to his responsibilities as<br />
department chair, he directed the Wind Orchestra, Pep Band and<br />
the “Marching Saints.”<br />
His talents did not stop there. He served as a guest conductor at<br />
the International Music Camp since 1987. Mr. Schmidt was the<br />
Auditions and Finance Manager for the North Dakota All-<strong>St</strong>ate<br />
Band, Choirs, Orchestra, Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Choir, and<br />
directed the Bismarck-Mandan Wind Ensemble.<br />
Mr. Schmidt was the recipient of many awards during his<br />
profession. In 1989, the Bismarck Chamber of Commerce selected him to receive the “Crystal Apple Award” for<br />
Excellence in Education – Teacher of the Year. He also the received the “1990 Catholic <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> Educator of<br />
the Year Award,” the “Citation of Excellence” award from the National Band Association, and was inducted into<br />
the John Philip Sousa Foundation “Legion of Honor” at the Midwest International Band and Orchestra Clinic in<br />
December 1998. Mr. Schmidt was named a Fulbright Scholar. Bands under his direction were selected to perform for<br />
the North Dakota Music Educators Association conference in 1992, 1999 and 2006. SMCHS Wind Orchestra was<br />
also selected and performed for the North <strong>Central</strong> MENC conference in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 2006. In March <strong>2010</strong>,<br />
the North Dakota Music Educators Association presented Bill with their Educator of the Year award.<br />
Mr. Schmidt will be remembered as the music man who taught many students using his unique method of teaching<br />
and mentoring. Inspired by his motivation, dedication, strict discipline, students gained a sense of pride in knowing<br />
they excelled beyond their expectations.<br />
Mr. Schmidt lived by his favorite mottos: “When you work, work hard; when you play, play hard; and when you<br />
pray, pray hard,” and his most famous quote, “Early is on time and on time is late.” Although his time on this earth<br />
was short, his words, memories and spirit will live on in the hearts of the students and the halls of <strong>St</strong>. Mary’s <strong>Central</strong><br />
<strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> forever. Mr. Schmidt, the Marching Saints are still “waking them up”!<br />

Dear Friends, Alumni, and Benefactors of <strong>St</strong>. Mary’s <strong>Central</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>:<br />
I am very pleased that our 7th <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> has been published to give<br />
everyone a review of what happened during the <strong>2009</strong>-10 fiscal year. I would<br />
like to thank everyone who was so generous in gifts of time, talent and treasure<br />
to <strong>St</strong>. Mary’s <strong>Central</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. We could not operate without the generosity<br />
of so many. A gift received last spring allowed us to reduce our debt, and make<br />
many improvements around our building.<br />
We are fortunate at <strong>St</strong>. Mary’s <strong>Central</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> to have the leadership and<br />
support of Bishop Paul Zipfel, our five sponsoring parishes and their pastors, our<br />
lay board members, committee members, and an exceptional staff. Our teaching<br />
staff continues to challenge our students each day to help them prepare for life<br />
after SMCHS.<br />
This past year, the entire <strong>St</strong>. Mary’s <strong>Central</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> family was saddened<br />
when William J. Schmidt lost his battle with cancer. Mr. Schmidt was the instrumental music chairperson<br />
for over 30 years. We will never forget listening or watching the Saints Marching Band, the Pep Band, or the<br />
beautiful music of the Wind Orchestra.<br />
There have been several technological advances that have taken place at <strong>St</strong>. Mary’s <strong>Central</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> over<br />
the past few years. We have also purchased Promethean Active Boards for several of our classrooms and are<br />
currently working on securing the funding to have a Promethean Active Board in every classroom. Thank you<br />
to those who have donated funds for the technology improvements at SMCHS.<br />
We want to assure our benefactors that we are doing everything possible to maximize your gifts each year.<br />
Once again, this year we made arrangements to an Agreed Upon Procedures Review with Brady Martz,<br />
instead of an audit. They reviewed our Balance Sheet and Verified balances so that we would be able to do an<br />
unqualified audit in the future.<br />
Our comprehensive testing and ACT test scores demonstrate the academic success of our students. SMCHS<br />
students consistently score higher than their public school counterparts each year in both tests. In addition,<br />
their involvement in community activities is an inspiration to all of us. Our school community strives to live<br />
our Mission <strong>St</strong>atement.<br />
“The Mission of <strong>St</strong>. Mary’s <strong>Central</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is to provide an opportunity for its community to grow<br />
spiritually, academically, and socially in a Christ-centered environment based on Catholic tradition.”<br />
Thank you to everyone in the <strong>St</strong>. Mary’s <strong>Central</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> community. May God bless all of you. Please<br />
keep our school in your prayers each and every day.<br />
Yours respectfully,<br />
John Jankowski<br />
