PRESIDENT 

Greetings Dragon Alumni, Parents and Friends, 

I have the pleasure to share with you that O’Dowd is truly thriving ... and that 

our best days are ahead. 

O’Dowd first opened its doors in 1951 and 67 years later, we owe a debt of 

gratitude to everyone – teachers, staff members, members of the religious 

orders who’ve served here, parents, alumni, volunteers, donors – who has 

helped us become the thriving school and community we are today. 

The last 12 years have been especially transformational under the leadership 

of the late Steve Phelps. Today, O’Dowd is at enrollment capacity, has 

a waitlist for admissions, and features academic and co-curricular programs 

that prepare our students for college and beyond, with tuition assistance 

and support programs that ensure we can extend our Catholic mission and 

charism-values to as many students as possible. We learned a lot from Steve 

and have a vision for building on his achievements and taking O’Dowd to 

even greater heights. 

Our institutional priorities position us boldly for future success: 

first, deepening our commitment to our charism and our 

values-based education; second, driving educational excellence 

and innovation; and third, seizing unprecedented opportunities 

to optimize our facilities. 

In this magazine, please enjoy the articles that celebrate our life and mission 

around these three priorities and note the outstanding financial support we 

received from our community this past year to further these priorities. The 

work at O’Dowd is animated by the spirituality that flows from the charism, 

thereby expressing our Catholic identity. We are emboldened by pursuing 

transformative educational strategies for the growth of our students. O’Dowd 

will be sustainably modernized to enhance the student experience by planning, 

funding and building the first phase of our campus master plan. 

Thank you for engaging with us as we continue to celebrate our history and 

build on our solid foundation in order to become the Catholic high school 

our students most need for the complex world they boldly face. Toward that 

end, I am grateful for your investment in and advocacy on behalf of O’Dowd. 

Best, 

James Childs, MA, MEd

Legacy Starts 

AT O’DOWD 

64th Annual Commencement 

“The greatest use of a life is to spend it for 

something that outlasts it.” -William James 

O’Dowd Board of Regents member and 

featured commencement speaker Ellie Knauss 

used this quote to deliver an inspiring call to 

action for O’Dowd’s Class of 2018 - your legacy 

starts now. 

Don and Ellie Knauss 

Fall/Winter Magazine 2018 // 3

From left to right: Maia Johnson, Andi Wiley, Kameela Hall, Pablo Samoilys, Sabine Schroepfer and Arden Fortaleza. 

“No, not the inherit money from your great uncle type of 

legacy,” she said. “Legacy is something that leaves a consequence, 

has an effect and produces a result. In short, something 

you accomplish in your life that makes a difference. 

Some of you have already begun to form your legacies with 

what you have done at O’Dowd.” 

Ellie and her husband, Don, were honored at O’Dowd’s 64th 

annual commencement with the Cor Unum Award. 

Named for the school’s motto, “One Heart in Christ,” the 

Cor Unum Award is Bishop O’Dowd High School’s highest 

honor. It is presented each year to select members of the 

O’Dowd community whose lives and work embody the 

school’s Mission to create a more just, joyful, and sustainable 

world. 

The couple was recognized for their steadfast commitment 

to providing a Catholic education to as many deserving 

students as possible through transformative gifts in support 

of financial aid, and service to the mission of Catholic 

education. Ellie has been a member of the Board of Regents 

since 2012 and two of their four children - Alec ’10 and Kara 

’13 – are alums. 

“You are experiencing firsthand, the impact 

of legacy. You, O’Dowd’s graduating 

class of 2018, are living the legacy of a 

man who has been called a futurist in the 

field of Catholic education,” Ellie said. 

“Of course, I am speaking of Dr. Stephen 

Phelps, the president of Bishop O’Dowd 

High School for the last 12 years. 

Dr. Phelps’ job? Mentor, teacher, coach 

and president. But his legacy? Service to 

others focused on developing confident, 

capable and successful young people – 

like every graduate in this room!” 

Other commencement speakers included valedictorian 

Yujia Li and salutatorian Ruby Perez. 

Class of 2018 Gives Back 

Inspired by their four transformational years at O’Dowd, 

members of the Class of 2018 contributed $108,000 to 

provide the gift of an O’Dowd education to the next generation. 

Senior Class Philanthropy Officers: Anna Dubon, Jayla Goler, Luke 

Ditzler, Kameela Hall and Sabine Schroepfer led the effort.

GENERATIONS

Opportunity. That’s how Sophia Rodriguez ’18 sums up 

her O’Dowd experience. 

While at O’Dowd, Sophia had the opportunity for academic 

and personal growth, leadership development, and 

connecting more deeply with her cultural heritage. 

Accepted to several top universities and colleges, the 

4.0-plus National Merit Commended student and National 

Hispanic Scholar is now attending UCLA, where she 

plans to major in political science. She was inspired to 

explore this field after taking Bonnie Sussman’s AP U.S. 

Government & Politics and AP Comparative Government 

& Politics courses and getting a better grasp on political 

ideologies, processes and behavior. 

“I find the ‘why’ part of political science very interesting. 

And I like learning about all the intricacies because if you 

can understand the systems that are in place it’s much 


easier to figure out how to help people and effect social 

change,” she said, adding that she is considering a career 

in law. 

As a leader in Latinos Unidos, O’Dowd’s cultural club that 

celebrates Hispanic heritage, Sophia relished the opportunity 

to learn more about her cultural heritage and perform 

folkloric dance at the annual Multicultural Assembly. 

As a member of the senior Campus Ministry Team, helping 

plan Masses, retreats and charity drives, Sophia also led a 

collaborative effort between CMT and Latinos Unidos for 

an All Saints – Día de los Muertos Mass. “It was awesome 

bringing both of those groups together to do something 

new,” she said. “We combined these two holidays to remember 

important people who have passed, as well as the 

communion of saints and the living saints in our lives.” 

Drama provided another significant growth opportunity 

for Sophia, and she participated in seven shows, including 

last spring’s production of Hair. 

During her time at O’Dowd, Sophia was also a member of 

the water polo and swimming teams and the Feminism and 

Unity clubs, and served as vice president for Dumbledore’s 

Army (the Harry Potter Club). 

“Being able to have all these opportunities was awesome. 

I found I didn’t have to stick to the things I had always 

done,” she said. 

“My O’Dowd experience has been 

empowering. It helped me figure out 

where I fit in the world and find my 

voice on issues that I want to speak 

out about,” she said. 

The Rodriguez’s are a Legacy family extraordinaire! The 

first generation includes Marin Rodriguez ’83, Dante Rodriguez 

’84, Iliad Rodriguez ’85, Petra Rodriguez Camacho 

’87, Tyr Rodriguez ’88, Qiqi Rodriguez ’90, Forte 

Rodriguez ’92, Aria Rodriguez Vadney ’94 and Skimra 

Rodriguez Sherbondy ’00. Iden Rodriguez attended 

O’Dowd from 1998-99. 

Second generation includes: Lily Rodriguez ’17 (daughter 

of Dante Rodriguez), Tyler Engleman ’17 (son of Qiqi 

Rodriguez), Sophia Rodriguez ’18 (daughter of Marin Rodriguez), 

Sebastian Camacho ’19 (son of Petra Rodriguez 

Camacho), Roman Rodriguez ’20 (son of Dante Rodriguez), 

Hannes Rodriguez ’22 (son of Marin Rodriguez) 

and Sierra Camacho ’23 (daughter of Petra Rodriguez 

Camacho). 


Graduating STUDENT PROFILES 

... continued from p.9 

If Kameela Hall ’18 could have looked into the future as an 

8th grader and caught a glimpse of the high school senior 

she was to become she would have been pleased. Just a few 

years ahead was a mature, socially aware, empathetic and 

academically engaged young woman. 

Kameela went “all in” when she arrived at O’Dowd, diving 

into broad range of activities. She played volleyball, served 

on the Black Student Union Executive Council and was a 

Dragon Ambassador Captain. 

She was also a member of the National Honor Society 

and over the course of her time at O’Dowd completed an 

amazing 260 hours of community service, and served as 

a Senior Philanthropy Officer, leading fundraising for the 

Class of 2018 Senior Class Gift campaign and helping 

establish a life-long legacy for their class. 

And she took a host of Advanced Placement and Honors 

classes, including AP Comparative Government & Politics, 

AP Psychology, AP Human Geography and Honors 

Chemistry. 

Kameela Hall ’18 

CULTIVATING 

LEADERSHIP SKILLS 

AND LEAVING A 

LIFE-LONG LEGACY 

“My O’Dowd experiences unlocked the potential that I had 

not been able to unlock on my own,” she said. 

Kameela was encouraged in her growth by O’Dowd faculty 

and staff, particularly Academic Support Liaison Malik 

McCord. “He recognized my potential as a person, not just 

a student,” she said. “He always pushed me to articulately 

express my thoughts, and made me see how I could be 

someone who really made a difference on this campus and 

beyond.” 

Today Kameela is a confident, yet empathetic leader. “You 

just can’t stand in front of a group and say ‘follow me.’ You 

have to recognize the fact that people have different points 

of view and help them come to a consensus,” she said. “I 

love it when people say their point of view was shifted 

because of something I said or how I acted.” 

Kameela is grateful that O’Dowd provides forums for 

students to respectfully voice their opinions. “That was a 

huge part of why I was never afraid to speak out and to try 

to bring people together,” she said. “And I feel like that’s 

why we have so many leaders coming out of this school.” 

Because of her O’Dowd experience, Kameela feels the 

world is her oyster. “I am going into college feeling on top 

of the world and ready to make a difference,” she said. 

Kameela was admitted to Northern Arizona University’s 

Honors College and is double majoring in Business Management 

and Marketing. 


Transferring to O’Dowd as a junior, Pablo Samoilys ’18 

wasn’t sure what to expect. 

Like most transfer students, Pablo worried about fitting 

in socially and was concerned about how he would handle 

O’Dowd’s challenging college prep curriculum. 

On the social side, Pablo found the transfer experience 

surprisingly easy. “Everyone was really welcoming. All 

the teachers were immediately there to help me become a 

part of the community, and within a few days I had made 

friends,” he said. 

But because Pablo had moved to the United States from 

Kenya, getting adjusted to the American education system 

presented a bigger challenge. “I came in not knowing the 

basic things. I barely understood GPA scores, and MLA 

format was completely new to me. On my early assignments 

I struggled, but my teachers were pretty forgiving 

and they gave me opportunities to redo things.” 

Pablo Samoilys ’18 

TRANSFORMATIONAL 

EXPERIENCES LEAD 

TO PERSONAL 

DEVELOPMENT 

Pablo dove in to his new school community, serving as a 

Dragon Ambassador Captain, playing tennis, and leading 

the Photography Club. 

His most transformational O’Dowd experience, however, 

centered on his participation in the Kairos retreat program 

– first as a retreatant during his junior year. 

“The whole experience was pretty amazing. I came back 

from that three-day retreat with a lot of new friends that I 

felt I had known for a lifetime,” he said. “Before that retreat 

I felt OK at O’Dowd, but afterwards O’Dowd really felt like 

home.” 

Profoundly inspired, Pablo applied to be a Kairos student 

leader, and, as a senior, led a small group of junior students 

in reflection and self-discovery, helping them deepen their 

relationships with family, friends and God. 

Pablo is currently attending UC Davis where he is considering 

majoring in product or industrial engineering 

and pursuing a career in high tech – perhaps focusing on 

prototyping and design. 

“O’Dowd has played a really big role in my development 

into a young adult,” Pablo said. “When I moved to the United 

States I still considered myself an adolescent. These 

two years have refined me into the person I am today and I 

truly appreciate that.” 

Added Pablo, “O’Dowd prepares you academically, but also 

guides and supports you in your personal development.” 


Catholic Values + Educational Excellence + Innovation = 

A THRIVING O’DOWD 

O’Dowd’s reputation as the premier Catholic college preparatory high school in the East Bay continues. 

The school received more than 800 applications during the 2018-19 admissions cycle for just over 300 freshman spaces. This continued 

high demand for an O’Dowd education is reflective of our reputation as one of Northern California’s premier Catholic college 

preparatory schools.

Meridith ’92, Avery ’22 and Jerry Forristal ’90. 

The Forristals – Meridith Armstrong Forristal ’92 

and Jerry Forristal ’90 – are excited to have their 

daughter, Avery ’22, continue the family tradition 

of attending O’Dowd. And they’re not alone. The 

Forristals are among 34 Legacy Families in the Class 

of 2022. 

“Our daughter grew up hearing the stories 

of our days at O’Dowd. She has seen, and 

is a part of, the many friendships that were 

forged in the halls and on the fields of 

O’Dowd so when it came time to pick a high 

school there really wasn’t a question about 

where she’d go. There’s no other place for 

our family where the balance of academic 

rigor, athletics, diversity and service blend 

to create the ideal high school experience,” 

Meridith said. 

“We continue to see a high number of legacy families 

apply and enroll, a testament to the strength of our 

program and faith that students who leave O’Dowd 

and go into the world have positive outcomes 

beyond high school. Our values driven curriculum 

has always been pivotal to an O’Dowd education and 

families keep coming back,” Director of Admissions 

Kerryn Pincus said. 


O’Dowd’s New 

President: 

JAMES CHILDS 

A familiar face has assumed a new role at O’Dowd. 

Former Principal James Childs, M.A., M.Ed., became 

O’Dowd’s second president on July 1, succeeding Steve 

Phelps who passed away unexpectedly last December. 

Childs was initially attracted to O’Dowd because of the 

common perspective he shared with Phelps about Catholic 

education. “We engaged on a daily basis about building the 

future of O’Dowd. I will work hard to honor his vision and 

legacy, and my resolve is to continue and intensify the efforts 

of his distinguished leadership at O’Dowd, to move our 

school forward with the same passion and grace with which 

he approached his educational ministry,” he said. 

Childs was selected after a comprehensive national search 

process, which was led by Interim President and Search Committee 

chair Kim Walsh and involved a committee representing 

all constituencies of the school, including the Board of 

Regents, alumni, faculty, staff, current and past parents. 

President Childs gives communion to Grace Wallingford ’19. 

“I am deeply honored and excited 

to take on the responsibilities and 

challenges as the president of Bishop 

O’Dowd High School, and feel very 

fortunate to be surrounded by 

extraordinary leadership and support 

as we embark upon the next leg of our 

grand expedition together,” he said. 

Childs and his wife, Kate, have four children, including Sophia 

who is a member of the Class of 2020.

PRESIDENT

Building on a Legacy of Innovation: 

LOOKING BOLDLY INTO 

OUR SCHOOL’S FUTURE 

Building a Culture of Care and a 

Framework for Educational Excellence 

At the heart of the Catholic school educational philosophy 

is a cultural commitment to care for students, ensuring 

that every child is seen as an individual. This results in the 

formation of students who make of their gifts, talents, competencies, 

skills, and passions a distinctive gift of Catholic 

education to society. We recently sat down with O’Dowd’s 

new President James Childs to talk about the long-range 

planning process underway at O’Dowd, the educational 

philosophy that will inform that planning process, and 

the role of the Western Catholic Education Association 

(WCEA) accreditation process upon which the school is 

embarking this fall. To gain deeper insight into the accreditation 

process, we also sat down with Religion teacher and 

Retreat Director Michael Downs, who is coordinating this 

endeavor. Visit our website for more detailed information 

on the WCEA accreditation process - https://www.bishopodowd.org/wcea-accreditation-news/ 

Childs expressed that O’Dowd is committed to ensuring 

that all students feel seen. “At O’Dowd, ‘seeing every child’ 

presents as every student knowing that they are cared for. 

In the context of relationships with our students, we build 

developmental competencies, cultivate resiliency and 

empathy, and encourage their sense of responsibility in 

and for the world,” he said. “We are educating our students 

to provide for the common good in a much more impactful 

way, building a more just, joyful, and sustainable future, 

just as our missions indicates.” 

Active visioning has taken place over the past two years in 

anticipation of the accreditation process, with an eye towards 

informing school priorities and areas of focus for the 

future. This work has included Academic Council sessions, 

Charism reflection work to deepen alignment, the School 

Climate Survey, as well as discussions and workshops with 

faculty and staff, explained Childs. The WCEA process 

maps the work already completed at O’Dowd over the last 

few years to this formal process to discern any further 

opportunities in meeting our goals. Accreditation with its 

explicit workflows and third party involvement expands 

our inventory of knowledge to inform planning and helps 

to ensure a quality educational program as well as alignment 

with best practices in Catholic education. 

“The strategic imperatives for student growth emerging 

out of this comprehensive planning and accreditation 

process will take into consideration the developmental 

realities of teens, instructional strategies that expand 

their ability to learn - with sensitivity to equity, access and 

inclusion - overall student health and wellness, as well as 

leadership development,” explained Childs. 

“O’Dowd is at the leading edge of Catholic education. 

Innovation over the years has focused 

on the implementation of programs that distinguish 

and define O’Dowd, such as Academic 

Support and the Living Lab. In this next phase 

of O’Dowd’s evolution, innovation will continue 

to be at the forefront of O’Dowd planning with 

an eye towards sustainable growth and management,” 

Childs said. 

In addition to innovating how the culture of care presents 

at O’Dowd throughout all facets of the O’Dowd experience, 

this will include operational and technology strategies as 

well as program developments that enable better outcomes 

and efficiency, namely, how we utilize resources (people, 

space, time) in creative ways to meet our needs. 

Stay tuned for more information on planning and innovation

Michael 

GOORJIAN ’89

Michael Goorjian ’89 Seeks 

What Lies Beyond the Stars 

Though Michael Goorjian ’89 bought the novel Demian, 

by Herman Hesse, that was assigned reading in Debra 

Kolsrud’s English class at O’Dowd, he never got around 

to reading it. He skimmed it well enough to muddle 

through a test, and then moved on. 

Several years later, Goorjian read the book in earnest – 

and he was captivated. He immersed himself in other 

philosophical fiction works, including another of Hesse’s 

books, Steppenwolf, and W. Somerset Maugham’s The 

Razor’s Edge. 

Recently the Emmy-award winning actor, filmmaker and 

screenplay writer added a new artistic discipline to his 

resume – novelist. In 2016, Goorjian completed the first 

book of a trilogy he was commissioned to write for Hay 

House Publishing - What Lies Beyond the Stars, set in San 

Francisco’s technology industry and the rural coastal 

town of Mendocino. “There are a lot of facets to it,” says 

Goorjian. “In a way, the story is rooted in exploring the 

idea of human attention and how it’s become a currency. 

But the exploration of the idea is woven into a story 

that is based on Dante’s Divine Comedy and the relationship 

between Dante and Beatrice.” 

He is currently finishing the second book, Beyond the 

Fractured Sky, which will be released in 2019, as well as 

directing an Armenian-based film. 

At O’Dowd, Goorjian participated in Drama for four 

years, starring in productions such as Fiddler on the 

Roof and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and believes 

his O’Dowd experience was pivotal in his professional 

success. 

“I learned from (Drama Director) Dennis 

Kohles ’69, who was one of my first mentors, the 

high level of discipline that is required for this 

profession. And that has been the engine beneath 

what has made me successful,” Goorjian 

said. 

theater credits are lengthy – dating back to his first role 

as a dancer in the Disney film Newsies, which he landed 

while a student at UCLA School of Theatre, Film and 

Television. 

His favorite roles include Heroin Bob in the indie film 

SLC Punk and the autistic teenager David in David’s 

Mother – a portrayal that earned him an Emmy. As a director, 

Goorjian achieved widespread recognition for his 

first major independent film, Illusion, which he wrote, 

directed and starred in alongside Hollywood legend Kirk 

Douglas. 

It was through promoting this project at film festivals 

that Goorjian met Gay Hendricks, a psychologist, writer 

and teacher in the field of personal growth and relationships, 

who asked him to produce and direct the documentary 

You Can Heal Your Life starring internationally 

renowned metaphysical author and teacher Louise Hay 

for Hay House Publishing. He subsequently worked on 

The Shift, starring best-selling author Wayne Dyer. 

“I had a screenplay that I was working on and I asked 

the CEO of Hay House to read it so I could get his opinion,” 

Goorjian said. “He asked me if I was interesting in 

turning the screenplay into a novel and I said, ’Sure!’ 

Moving from writing a screenplay to writing a novel definitely 

was a jump, but the screenplay was essentially a 

skeleton that I could build the novel upon.” 

Goorjian says if there is one common thread in all of his 

artistic endeavors it is storytelling. “I spent years studying 

mythology, fairy tales and folklore,” he said. “With 

novel writing, however, I can dig into deeper philosophical 

questions. It’s slow art instead of fast art. Slow art 

addresses more complicated thematic aspects of life 

and hopefully sticks around longer.” 

Looking ahead, Goorjian is interested in exploring 

writing non-fiction, specifically philosophy and social 

commentary, and doing occasional acting and directing 

projects. 

Goorjian is probably best known for his role as Justin, 

Neve Campbell’s love interest on the Golden Globe 

winning series Party of Five, but his television, film and

Jasmine 

GUILLORY ’93

Jasmine Guillory ’93 Finds Creative 

Outlet in Writing 

From the time she was young, Jasmine Guillory ’93 

had her sights set on being a lawyer. She majored in 

history at Wellesley College, graduated from Stanford 

Law School, and then clerked for a year at the Federal 

District Court in San Francisco before joining a law firm 

where she immersed herself in the world of securities 

and intellectual property. 

Several years later, Guillory moved on to the non-profit 

world, contributing her legal expertise at several 

local foundations. She loved her work, but desired a 

creative outlet. Baking, knitting, singing? She liked all 

those things, but they just didn’t hit the mark. Then it 

came to her – writing. “I’ve always loved reading, so I 

thought I’d give writing a try,” Guillory said. 

She dove right in, and began to write for a few hours 

every night when she got home from work. She completed 

a young adult novel, received “positive rejections,” 

and wrote half of another novel in the same 

genre before finding her niche – romance adult fiction. 

“My writing voice worked better writing for adults than 

teenagers,” she said. 

Her first venture in the new genre was a smash hit. The 

Wedding Date, published on January 30, 2018, was 

named Target’s Diverse Book of the Month for February, 

one of Elle magazine’s “21 Books We’re Most Excited 

to Read in 2018,” a Romance Novel of the Month 

for February by a Washington Post reviewer, and a USA 

Today Bestseller to name a few of the accolades. 

Set in the Bay Area, the novel details the story of an 

interracial hero and heroine trapped in a hotel elevator 

who wind up going to a wedding together and then try 

to face the challenges of a long-distance relationship. 

Guillory included a shout out to several of her 

former teachers, including O’Dowd’s Bonnie 

Sussman and the late Brad Goodhart, in the 

acknowledgement of the book. “None of you were 

writing teachers, but you all taught me how to 

write,” she wrote. 

Her second novel, The Proposal, was due out in September, 

and she is currently writing a third. She also 

pens pop culture essays from time to time. And, she is 

still working as a lawyer. 

Guillory’s not sure when she might be able to devote 

her time solely to writing. “You get an advance for a 

book, which comes in three installments, and then 

you get royalties twice a year. But you never know how 

much the royalties are going to be until they come, so 

it’s good to have a regular paycheck,” she said. 

Guillory is still getting used to seeing her book on 

bookshelves. 

“It’s been years of ups and downs with my writing, and 

thinking that no one would care about my book. Now 

people are buying it and seem to be really liking it. 

That is just so exciting to me,” she said. 

When it comes to stepping out of your comfort zone to 

do something that you love, Guillory advises go for it. 

“I know so many people who I went to law school with 

who are doing completely different things than they 

planned. Lots of people find their passion later in life, 

or decide they have more than one passion,” she said.

Maria 

ZIZKA ’06 

Maria Zizka ’06 Creates a Recipe 

for Professional Success 

When Maria Zizka ’06 began co-authoring a column 

on food and culture for U.C. Berkeley’s The Daily Californian, 

she couldn’t have imagined how the experience 

would change her life trajectory. 

A Biology major, Zizka was taking pre-med classes 

and contemplating becoming a doctor. 

Today, Zizka is a cookbook writer and recipe developer 

who has collaborated with California’s leading 

chefs, including Elisabeth Prueitt, Jessica Koslow 

and Suzanne Goin. She has co-authored numerous 

award-winning cookbooks, such as Tartine All Day, Everything 

I Want to Eat, and This Is Camino, has contributed 

to 12 published books and developed over 1,000 

recipes. Her first solo cookbook will be published by 

Artisan in early 2019. 

Her professional accomplishments have not gone 

unnoticed. Zizka made the 2018 edition of the Forbes 

30 Under 30: Food & Drink listing. “It’s the greatest 

honor I’ve ever received for my work,” she said. “I 

still almost can’t believe it’s really true. I was totally 

surprised and I feel so grateful.” 


Zizka recalled the evening that she and her now 

husband, graphic designer Graham Bradley, were 

walking home from the library during her second year 

of college. 

“Graham said that he heard the school newspaper 

was hiring a columnist and suggested I write about 

food,” she said. “I had been cooking a lot, but I had no 

experience writing and I didn’t think anyone would 

hire me to do that.” 

Bradley, an experienced writer, offered an intriguing 

option – “we can co-author it.” The couple applied for 

the position and was hired. Zizka subsequently joined 

the Cal cooking club, and began to consider a leap 

into a very unusual career – cookbook writing and 

recipe developing. 

“I didn’t really have a model for what 

it might look like, but when I thought 

about writing about food my heart 

just pounded in my chest,” she said. 

“It scared me in a good way.” 

After graduating from UC Berkeley, Zizka moved 

to Manhattan – a place she had never even visited 

before – to take an internship with Slow Food USA. 

This non-profit organization, founded by Carlo Petrini 

- stands against the disappearance of local food 

traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food 

they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how 

our food choices affect the rest of the world. 

At Slow Food, Zizka worked on the Ark of Taste - a 

project that catalogues delicious and distinctive 

foods facing extinction - writing about heritage apple 

varieties that once grew in New York State. 

Zizka subsequently attended L’Università degli Studi 

di Scienze Gastronomiche in Italy, where she earned a 

master’s degree in food culture and communications. 

She wrote her master’s thesis on American cookbooks 

in the 20th century and how the introduction of eBooks 

changed the market. 

A requirement of the master’s program was to complete 

a three-month internship. So Zizka wrote to a 

chef and author she admired – Suzanne Goin – and 

asked to work with her. Much to Zizka’s delight, Goin 

offered her the opportunity collaborate on a cookbook, 

heading up recipe testing. 

“Suzanne became my mentor and has always been 

the biggest supporter of me and my career,” Zizka 

said. “And Graham and I got married at one of her 

restaurants – A.O.C. in Los Angeles.” 

Recipe writing is a quirky thing, Zizka says. “It’s such 

a particular style of writing, and there is a style guide 

that each publishing house follows,” she explained. “I 

love how you can get a sense of someone’s personality 

and voice through a recipe. I’m really attracted to 

recipes that are unique and packed with verbs that a 

person would actually use.” 

Zizka started work on her solo cookbook about 18 

months ago. “The cookbook-making process isn’t 

quick. It takes years to develop and test more than 

one hundred recipes, edit the manuscript, design the 

layout, and photograph all the dishes. Then of course 

there’s the printing and book binding,” she said. “The 

really sweet thread through this is my husband is 

doing all the design.” 

The idea to develop her own cookbook came shortly 

after Zizka got engaged and was perusing cookbooks 

intended for newlyweds. 

“Even though they were recently published they felt 

outdated and they didn’t reflect my reality. They were 

often about a wife cooking for her husband, and so I 

had this idea to write a modern, updated version of a 

newlywed cookbook where the couple is a team and 

they work together. It’s about cooking for each other 

and other people,” she said. 

Zizka says one of the most challenging aspects of 

her work - recipe development in particular - is 

being comfortable with feelings of frustration. “If a 

dish doesn’t turn out well, I have to be able to just 

try again and again,” she said. “That takes a certain 

drive.” 

With years of cooking under her belt, Zizka doesn’t 

have too many mishaps in the kitchen these days. “I 

can see when things are headed down a bad path and 

I can make adjustments in real time to prevent any 

major disasters. But I’ve certainly had my fair share,” 

she said.

Athlete of the Year 

In June, Tierra Robinson-Jones ’18 became the first student-athlete 

from O’Dowd to be named the Gatorade California 

Girls Track & Field Athlete of the Year. This award 

recognizes athletic excellence as well as high standards of 

academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated 

on and off the track. 

The accolades continued when Tierra was presented a 

Proclamation from Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf recogniz- 

ing her success as an Oakland student-athlete and declaring 

Sunday, August 5, 2018, as “Tierra Robinson-Jones Day 

in Oakland.” 

Tierra was the first Northern California girl in state history 

to win the 200- and 400-meter dashes in the same state 

championship at the CIF State Track & Field Championships 

held at Buchanan High School in Clovis June 1-2. 

Her personal best time of 52.37 seconds in the 400 ranked 

her as the No. 2 high school girl’s time in the country this 

season for the event. She clocked in at 23.66 in the 200 

– another personal best. She signed a National Letter of 

Intent to compete in track & field on a scholarship at Texas 

A&M. 


Alumni NEWS 

Hello O’Dowd Alumni, 

This year was an exciting one as over 500 

of you came back to campus. I’m ecstatic 

to have so many alumni visit and hope the 

number grows year after year. And if you 

haven’t visited lately, please do! Contact 

me to arrange a tour or RSVP for the next alumni event. 

Speaking of which … 

The first O’Dowd Grand Reunion was truly a celebration 

and most definitely lived up to its name - Party on the 

Quad! We had attendees spanning 10 reunion classes - 

1958; 1963; 1968; 1978; 1983; 1988; 1993; 1998; 2003; and 

2008. This was a huge undertaking and couldn’t have been 

done without all your enthusiasm and support. You have 

helped build the momentum and I can’t wait to celebrate 

with you next year at the Grand Reunion on May 18, 2019. 

You’ll be seeing emails, e-news articles and social media 

posts in early 2019, so make sure we have your contact info 

and you’re connected to O’Dowd Alumni on social media 

(see handles below). 

Just a few weeks prior to the Grand Reunion, we had our 

5th annual Alumni Night at the Theater which was also a 

lot of fun. For the first time, in honor of the musical Hair 

and our 60s graduates, we had a costume contest for the 

grooviest outfit. Many Dragons rose to the occasion, donning 

tie-dye shirts, peace signs, Mary Tyler Moore-inspired 

wear and other creative outfits. Once again, special thanks 

to Drama Director Dennis Kohles ’69 for providing complimentary 

tickets for our alums and kudos to the talented 

student performers. Bravo! 

I sincerely love hearing from you. Please share your good 

news, updates and questions by reaching out to

SUPPORTING 

THE SUCCESS 

AND GROWTH 

of the Alumni 

Community 

More than 25 alumni gathered for the 3rd annual O’Dowd 

Alumni Summit, held at the Center for Environmental 

Studies on August 29, 2018, to learn about the Alumni 

Strategic Plan and the school’s efforts to actively engage 

its valued alumni in the life of the school. 

In addition to learning about the future of O’Dowd Alumni 

Relations, the group heard from fellow alumni who attended 

the Grand Reunion in June. Father/daughter alums 

Patrick Riley ’63 and Shauna Riley Fithian ’88 shared a 

unique O’Dowd experience by celebrating their reunions 

at the same time at O’Dowd’s 2018 Grand Reunion! 


“My feeling on campus was ‘Wow, this feels so 

familiar.’ Yet it felt all new and kind of shiny in 

a way that I didn’t remember. I loved seeing all 

the composites because I remember as a student 

that was something I always did - look for my 

dad and uncle - and my friends would look for 

their family members and people that they knew. 

It was neat to see my photo on the wall in this 

place that I feel so connected to,” Fithian said. 

Jim Negri ’68 participated in the Summit, sharing his 

enthusiasm about O’Dowd with attendies, much like he has 

throughout the year with his classmates as they celebrate 

their 50th reunion. 

Jim has a great perspective on O’Dowd. Not only is he an 

alumnus, he’s the parent of an O’Dowd graduate, a former 

O’Dowd teacher and a recently retired school district 

superintendent with a keen perspective on education. 

Jim said that throughout his career, he always looked to 

O’Dowd for inspiration, as it has always been ahead of the 

educational curve. “The role of any educational institution 

is to prepare the next generation of leaders in the democratic 

society. There is no question that O’Dowd excels at 

meeting this goal,” he said. 

Jim led a discussion around alumni support at the Summit. 

He noted that 4% of O’Dowd alumni donated to our school 

last year. Comparatively, the alumni giving average for Bay 

Area Catholic schools 11%. 

Jim inspired the Dragon competitive spirit by saying he 

didn’t understand why O’Dowd wasn’t beating all these 

schools in terms of alumni giving percentage. “As Dragons, 

we have always been proud of being the best in everything!” 

he said. 

Shauna Fithian ’88 and Patrick Riley ’63 shared a unique O’Dowd experience by celebrating their reunions at the same time at O’Dowd’s 2018 Grand Reunion! They 

spoke about their experiences with attendees of the Alumni Summit. Also pictured are Diana Steccone Smahlik ’62 and Nicole Smahlik ’94 who attended the summit.

RENEWING 

CONNECTIONS 

AND RELIVING 

MEMORIES 

at the Inaugural 

Grand Reunion 

A festive atmosphere at the Inagural Grand Reunion added to the fun. 

Close to 200 alumni returned to campus on June 2, 2018, 

for the inaugural O’Dowd Grand Reunion – Party on the 

Quad. 

This event was geared for all classes scheduled to hold 

reunions in 2018, and provided an opportunity for alumni 

to connect with classmates, friends and favorite faculty 

and staff on the O’Dowd campus. Each class had its own 

designated gathering space. 

“The Grand Reunion was truly a celebration and most 

definitely lived up to its name - Party on the Quad! It was 

wonderful to see so many alums coming back to O’Dowd 

and having a great time. It was a joy to honor our alumni 

and welcome them back home,” Director of Alumni Engagement 

& Philanthropy LizaDawn Aduviso said. 

The Quad was transformed into a fabulous party space, 

with music, fun games and activities, as well as delicious 

food – including paella, brats and sliders – and beverages. 

Alumni also had the opportunity to tour the campus, enjoy 

a cooking workshop with fresh produce from the Living 

Lab, take fun photo booth candids, and share their personal 

stories of their O’Dowd experiences. 

Several former and current faculty members were on hand, 

including Tom Tyler, Tony Green, Gary Mason, Doug 

Vierra, Mattie Ignacio, and Fran Warmerdam. “Awesome 

young people turned into awesome adults,” Warmerdam 

said. 


Clockwise: Alumni had the opportunity to take fun photo booth shots at the Grand Reunion; Gary Mason and Geoff Williams ’98; Jane Schmitz ’93 and Olivia 

Melaugh ’93; Doug Griffin and Mary Esser-Sharon ’63 with Marguerite and Tony Green.

Alumni NEWS 

A Milestone 

Year FOR ’68 

50th high school reunion celebration elicits reflection and 

the sharing of memories. Several members of the Class of 

1968, who were celebrated and honored at a Golden Diploma 

Ceremony on June 2, 2018, held in conjunction with Alumni 

Grand Reunion festivities taking place on the O’Dowd 

campus, were eager to share with us memories of the impact 

their O’Dowd experience had on their lives. 

From left to right: Don Keeley, Christine McCalla, Alison Little McGhee, Emilie Aymeric Corcoran, Diane Mahoney, Pam Graber, 

Lorraine Sandwell O’Kane and Char Hummel. 


Enduring Memories: 

WHAT I LEARNED AT O’DOWD 

Don Keeley had no idea what kind of a career he wanted to pursue until he took a 

Chemistry class at O’Dowd. “I loved it, and there’s been a chemistry component in every 

job I’ve ever had,” he said. 

Pat Sinnott developed his love for reading at O’Dowd and actually saved all his reading 

lists from high school and often revisits them. Living in the Dublin area, Pat hitchhiked 

to and from school every day, and while he was waiting to get picked up he would 

read books to pass the time. He remains grateful for the encouragement he received at 

O’Dowd to become an avid reader. 

Alison Little McGhee said O’Dowd gave her self-confidence and welcomed 

her with open arms – a very different experience than she had in college when she felt 

unwanted as a minority. “I learned from my time at O’Dowd to never give up. After I had 

a stroke, I wrote My Stroke of Luck that details the challenges I faced.” 

Diane Mahoney recalled a sewing project that she worked on for an entire semester. 

When she went to pick it up at the cleaners the day before it was due, she discovered 

that the business was closed for vacation. She was devastated – as the project was tied to 

a fashion show - and contacted her Home Economics teacher to let her know about the 

mishap. “My teacher was a calm individual who told me not to worry - just pick another 

project on which I had worked. Although it was a simple gesture, it has stayed with me to 

this day,” she said.

Legacy Families 

Spanning 

Generations 

CELEBRATE 

CONNECTION 

By Brian Cushing ’84 

Family connections have been part of the O’Dowd experience 

from the earliest days of the school’s existence. 

Literally thousands of alumni can make connections to a 

sibling, cousin, parent, or grandparent who also walked the 

“hallowed halls” sung about in our alma mater (the 1963 

version, not the original 1955 version). 

Brian Cushing ’94, Sheila Moyles Cushing ’57 and Colleen Cushing ’19. 

rousing game of Bishop O’Dowd High School Trivia. Do 

you know which principal had the longest tenure of office? 

(see answer below) 

Sheila Moyles Cushing ’57 was the elder stateswoman at 

the event, sharing stories with her grandchildren, 

Colleen ’19 and Bob ’20. Jess Brown ’98 and his daughter, 

Jasaiya ’21, were the youngest Legacy connection in 

attendance. Five different decades of Dragon experiences 

were shared and some recorded as current students interviewed 

their parent/grandparent as part of the Dragon 

Stories Oral History Project launched in anticipation of 

the school’s 75th Anniversary. Plans are in the making for a 

Legacy Luncheon in 2018-19, so if you are part of a current 

Legacy family, keep your eye out for news of this fun event. 

Answer: Fr. Richard Ranalleti, CSB, was O’Dowd’s longest 

serving principal (1991-2000). 

On April 26, 2018, more than 50 members of Legacy families 

came together for a special reception sponsored by 

the Alumni Relations Office. Legacy families are unique 

members of the O’Dowd community who have second or 

third generations of students following in a direct line the 

footsteps of their parents or grandparents. 

Guests gathered in the Center for Environmental Studies 

on a evening that was blessed with a beautiful sunset on 

the Bay. After mingling with and getting to know other 

families from the decades (helped along with an O’Dowdbased 

game of People Bingo), the families competed in a 

Heide Aguire Happoldt ’62, center, with grandsons 

Diego ’22 and Connor ’20 Whitehill. 


Alumni from the classes of 1989 and 1990 who starred in an earlier production of Hair. 

Drama Veterans & 

Fans Gather 

FOR NIGHT AT THE 

THEATER 

More than 85 alumni and their guests gathered for the 

third annual O’Dowd Alumni Night at the Theater reception, 

held in the CES on Friday, May 4, 2018, before attending 

the Drama Department’s production of Hair. 

Emily Murphy ’90, Cleo Vilett ’90, Demian Salgado ’90, Jennifer Kesseler ’90 

and Alexander Quinn ’90. 

The classes of 1989 and 1990 were particularly well represented. 

Several alumni were Drama Department veterans 

and had participated in earlier productions of Hair, including 

Carmella Schuermann ’10 who traveled the farthest 

– from Munich, Germany – to attend the event. 

Attendees were encouraged to come dressed in their 

grooviest outfits and participate in a costume contest. 

Former Dean Sondra Arnsdorf, social studies teacher 

Fritz Blume and his wife, Mary, and Lynn Cardin-Anderson 

’63 served as judges for the contest. Winners included 

Schuermann, Dick Moore ’63, Linda Moore, Ashley Rollins 

’07 and Blair Jackson. 

Special thanks to Drama Director Dennis Kohles ’69 for 

providing complimentary tickets for the O’Dowd alums, 

and well-deserved kudos to all the talented students in the 

musical.

2017-18 HONOR 

ROLL OF DONORS 

You, our benefactors, are partnering with us to ensure that the students of Bishop 

O’Dowd High School have the resources, the education and the faith formation to lead 

meaningful and impactful lives. O’Dowd has continued to raise the bar for excellence in 

Catholic education with our mission at the heart of everything we do. This would not be 

possible without you. 

Our students perform their work – in class conversations, in service learning projects, in 

their ministry to each other through leadership, as fellow athletes on the field – mindful 

of the community they build in their four years on campus. 

But we know that their experience has been made richer because of the leadership, faith and creativity that was 

brought to the campus by those who came before them. Generations of students, faculty and administrators 

have shaped this institution and thus, the daily experience of our students. 

We’re deeply grateful for the financial support we’ve received this past year – support that enabled a generous 

financial aid program, salary increases for our faculty, a wide range of strong co-curricular programs, faith 

formation opportunities and improved facilities. We’re also grateful for the care and devotion that each O’Dowd 

community member has made to enhance this institution and its impact on individual lives and the East Bay.

HERITAGE SOCIETY 

Alumni, parents, faculty and 

friends who make legacy gifts 

to Bishop O’Dowd High School 

in their estate plans play a key 

role in charting our future and 

assuring fiscal stability. Their gifts 

build the endowment, a perpetual 

fund whose income provides 

essential financial support for all 

aspects of the school. We recognize 

the commitment of these 

visionary donors by extending to 

them membership in the 1951 

Heritage Society.

GIFTS IN 

MEMORY OF 

STEPHEN PHELPS 

O’Dowd received many generous 

gifts in memory of Steve 

Phelps. The majority of these 

gifts were made to the Stephen 

Phelps Memorial Scholarship 

Fund which honors Dr. Phelps’ 

service to Catholic education 

and Bishop O’Dowd High 

School. This endowed fund 

will provide financial aid to 

deserving O’Dowd students 

for generations to come. It was 

Steve’s dream that all students 

– regardless of financial 

circumstances – could pursue 

their dreams and achieve their 

goals. Thank you for joining us 

in honoring Steve’s legacy.
