Building for Excellence
Inspiring the Future
Patricia Collins
Dear Parents and Friends,
Seton Catholic Prep takes our responsibility seriously to provide an experience
for each student which will develop their individual skills and talents while
instilling in them the charisms of our patroness, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton,
which are faith, courage, love and determination.
Each year the Seton Catholic community emphasizes one of St. Elizabeth Ann
Seton’s charisms and this year’s focus is on the charism of determination.
In everything we do, we will focus on how determination can play a more
important role in our lives.
To this end, Seton Catholic hosted Immaculee Ilibagiza, after our entire
school read her book Left to Tell, Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan
Holocaust. Our

and the Chandler

witness of faith
and her grace-filled
presence touched
our students deeply,
providing them with a wonderful role model of determination.
Each year, our faculty commit to taking each student on a journey of positive
self-discovery by providing a challenging, rigorous and enriching learning
environment. Through hard work and accountability, students are encouraged
to achieve academic excellence within a loving and supportive Catholic faith
community.
In October 2012, our school received affirmation of our work in academics
from the University of Arizona when we received the University Cup Award.
Established in 1929, the University Cup is awarded annually to the Arizona
high school with a representation of 10 or more students in UA’s freshman
class that cumulatively earned the highest GPA average during their freshman
year at the UA. Seton Catholic Prep’s 16 graduates from the class of 2011
earned a cumulative GPA of 3.342 during their freshman year at UA. Our
wonderful faculty continues to be the heart of our school, impacting the lives
of each and every student.
We are able to accomplish this and more because of our wonderful loyal
benefactors who continue to make our dreams come true! Their efforts will
help us replace our gym floor and build a restroom/concession facility for the
Michael Eubanks Stadium. Thank you!
Seton Catholic Prep would not be the great school it is without our dedicated
alumni. It was wonderful to welcome many of our alumni back on campus
when they gathered for the Sentinel Alumni Reunion weekend October 5
through 7, 2012. Also, I send a special thank you to those Seton Alumni who
continue to give back with their time, treasure and talent as members of the
Alumni Advisory Council and by serving as members of our various boards and
committees. The love and support from Seton Alumni truly enrich our school!
If you find yourself on campus, please stop by for a visit. We would love to give
you a tour of the new Academic~Fine Arts Building as well as share with you
the future building plans for the Seton campus.
Blessings to you and your family!

Seton Catholic Prep
to go Green in March
The Seton Catholic Prep Sister School Connection Club, moderated by faculty
member Mrs. Barb Olivieri, will be hosting a delegation of students, administrators
and city officials from Sacred Heart School in Tullamore, Ireland in March of 2013.
“The Chandler-Tullamore Sister Cities Project has been in place for over four years
and is largely focused on mutual economic-development benefits,” states Leah
Powell, Chandler’s community resources and diversity manager.
Last year the Sister School Connection Club was formed at Seton Catholic
Prep to enhance the Sister Cities Program and a relationship was formed with
Sacred Heart Secondary School in Tullamore, Ireland. This relationship began
with collaboration on a recipe book between both schools which was printed and
sold….a great fundraiser for both schools! The schools have worked together on
recycling projects to celebrate Earth Day as well as creating an “E-Pal” program
where the students exchange news and updates about their schools.
From March 14th through 21st, approximately 20 students from Sacred Heart
as well as administrators and city officials from Tullamore
will visit Chandler. The students will spend three
of their days on the Seton Catholic Prep campus as
well as participating in the Phoenix St. Patrick’s
Day Parade. Seton Catholic Prep has also selected
eleven “Pioneers” from their Sister School
Connection Club to visit Tullamore, Ireland in
June. These students are currently fundraising for
their transportation costs to Tullamore.
For more information on the Sister Cities project
in Chandler, please visit www.ChandlerIrish.org.

We are blessed to have administrators
and teachers who are committed not
only to providing the best education for
our students, but who are committed
to providing a loving environment that
encourages our students to reach their
full potential and discover the possibilities
for their futures.
I am particularly amazed by our alumni.
Seton Catholic alumni, from the first
graduating Class of 1958 through the
Class of 2012, are so accomplished
in a wide variety of fields, and their
experiences are inspiring. Furthermore,
Seton graduates have also taken to heart
the lessons of our Catholic faith and are
committed to loving service to others as
they continue to serve in their parishes
and their greater communities.
I hope you will enjoy meeting a few of
our dedicated faculty, accomplished
alumni and promising current students
as they tell their own stories of how Seton
Catholic Prep has made a difference in
their lives.

As Director of Advancement at Seton
Catholic Preparatory, I have the privilege
to meet and get to know many people who
have a love for Catholic education and
for Seton Catholic Prep in particular. In
addition to the dedicated administration,
faculty, staff and students who are on
our campus every day, the people I meet
are alumni, current and past parents,
grandparents and community leaders.
Seton may be small in size in relation to
other schools in the East Valley, but the
impact made by the Seton community is
significant.
Ann Marie
Holter
Coming into
Seton Catholic, I was used
to things coming easily to me, but
I soon realized that wasn’t going to be the case for the next
four years. Mr. Vetti was one of the teachers that especially pushed
me to my limits, but I learned that I can’t be successful without work. He
taught me more than book smarts, he taught me valuable wisdom. The most
important lesson I learned from him, however, was that we, as young adults, have
the ability to make an impact, and that we should not allow older people to make us
feel ignorant simply because we are younger.
Mrs. Self was another influential mentor in my life as my basketball coach for four years.
When we were underestimated all of last season and the weight of the team was suddenly on
me as a junior, she was there as the backbone of the team. Whenever I thought we shouldn’t
even try to win state, she kept saying, “Why not us?” Her constant competitive attitude
pushed us to win state, and caused me to realize that anything I want to pursue can really be
accomplished. Although it won’t be easy, it takes a lot of work, and many points of desperation,
anything is possible.
Finally, Fr. Will was the biggest influence on my faith life. Starting with almost no relationship with
God coming into Seton, his devotional love for the Catholic faith drew me towards him and the
desire to learn about Catholicism. He obviously taught me a great deal about my faith, but he
primarily assisted me in making my faith the foundation for everything I do. That, in turn, has
given me the courage to stand up for the Truth in all that I wish to do. Fr. Will’s influence has
altered the way I go about my life and, additionally, kept me from being afraid to express what
I believe. Instead, I know that I can continue on beyond our small private school and stay firm
to who I am.
I will graduate from Seton Catholic Prep this spring, and I am hoping to attend a
Catholic university, but sports are also a consideration. The schools I am looking
at include Colorado School of Mines, Colorado Mesa University, Benedictine
College, and the University of Notre Dame. I plan to study mechanical
engineering and later focus on aerospace engineering.

Seton Catholic fulfilled its mission for
me: “To provide a college preparatory
curriculum within a Catholic community
focusing on academic excellence,
leadership and loving service to
others”. In servings others, I now have
the opportunity to help others discover
ways in which they are called to serve.
Although this event is not solely responsible for shaping a student’s sense of social
commitment, it is a part of our school’s total program to shape our students into the
responsible, caring individuals that is the hallmark of a Seton Catholic graduate.
Our students are not only academically prepared to undertake their university
studies when they leave Seton, but they leave with the confidence to go into the
world and make a difference that positively impacts others. And somehow,
along the way, they have also learned that loving service to others
provides enrichment in their own lives as well.

Seton Catholic was a wonderful
place to grow up. Or, rather, it was
a wonderful place to start growing.
The time I spent as a student at Seton
Catholic provided me the opportunity to
begin cultivating the skills and values
that I cherish. My teachers planted the
seeds, and as I continue to grow, my
I now work for the Volunteer Services
department at the Society of St. Vincent
de Paul. While I work primarily with
corporate groups, I still make time to
greet our young Seton Catholic student
volunteers when I see them. In fact,
we recently were able to make serving
lunch to the homeless a part of the
service experience for some of the
incoming freshman class.
From the moment the students learned about this opportunity to help, they brought in new
and gently used clothing and articles that could be given to the children. On the actual day
of the shopping spree, there was a wonderful turnout of Seton Catholic students, many
of whom brought their parents to help. Seton parents and students, adult volunteers and
young people from other youth groups helped our clients make selections and to wrap the
items for Christmas. Beautiful Christmas carols were sung, and our students and other
volunteers served food and drink. The interaction between the young people as they came
together on a busy Saturday before Christmas to work together for the common purpose
of helping others was wonderful to see.

through this year of service and reflection
that I realized my calling of serving others

One of the goals of the Fiesta Club is to provide service to others, particularly the needy.
Members of the Fiesta Club, as well as students in my Spanish and Honors Spanish classes,
made the commitment to help needy children at the “Shepherds Shopping Spree” that took

After graduating from Seton in 2001,
I continued my Catholic education at
Loyola Marymount University in Los
Angeles. Many
of my Seton
honors courses and AP classes available
at Seton prepared me well for Loyola’s
Honors Program. I was involved in a
variety of extracurricular activities at
Seton, and I continued that level of
participation at LMU. The various retreats
I attended during high school as well as
my experience as a Kairos leader gave
me the courage to take on leading a small
faith sharing group. The lessons I learned
at Seton Catholic Prep about social
justice and performing service led me to
become the eventual two-term president
of a community service club. I even
became a founding father of a fraternity
chapter at LMU. Seton Catholic prepared
me to be a leader.
There are
many clubs available
at Seton Catholic Preparatory
to provide students with opportunities
to explore and develop their varied interests while enhancing
the student’s academic experience. Each of these clubs have specific,
individual goals, however, at their core, they exist as a means to nurture
our students and to encourage them to live out the charisms of courage,
determination, faith, and love that our patroness, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton,
exemplified in her lifetime. Each of these clubs has a faculty moderator, and I serve
as the moderator of Seton Catholic’s Fiesta Club.

There are three things that I credit my
successes to. The first is God. Seton
Catholic Prep gave me the opportunity
to achieve exceptional academic status
within a strong faith community.
In 2002 my family, along with other
volunteers, started the SCPHS Robotics
Club to compete in the FIRST (For
Inspiration Recognition of Science and
Technology) competition. I have to admit
I hated it. It took up all the time with my
family, made us argue more, and left the
living room covered in aluminum shards.
It wasn’t until the very first competition I
attended that I saw the impact of FIRST
and the severely cool aspect of giant
robots competing and working together.

People here look at me and wonder how
such a position could have been given to
an undergraduate. But if you apply yourself
and dedicate your time and knowledge,
you can transcend such titles and the do
the most astounding things! Most of these
qualities I learned during my time at Seton
Catholic Prep!

It is impossible to predict how the
decisions we make will affect our lives.
Only God can see the big picture of our
life, and it can be very stressful to be a
student in high school and find your path.
The following is a story of how a girl from
Seton Catholic Preparatory High School
joined a robotics team and ended up a
scientific engineer in Antarctica.
After graduating high school in 2008, I
began attending Arizona State University
studying Aerospace Engineering. In my first
year, I discovered the NASA Space Grant
Organization, and as I was still hungry for
robotic challenges from my SCPHS days, I
sought out the underwater robotics team. I
started looking not only at the engineering
aspects of robotics but the purpose
behind them.

the education and formation I received
prepared me well for life and academics
In the fall of 1996, I began my seminary
studies at St. Meinrad School of Theology
in Indiana. I graduated in 2001 and on
June 2 of the same year, I was ordained
to the priesthood by Bishop Thomas
O’Brien, and now have served as Judicial
Vicar for six years.
While a student at Seton, I very much
felt as though I could be myself, and
that it was a place where people
would appreciate you for who you
were. With only 40 people in my
graduating class, we were as
diverse in ethnicity and culture as
much as we were in temperament
and abilities. I enjoyed my years
at Seton Catholic, but I think what
happened to my classmates and I was
that we understood that this was “our”
high school, and we might as well make it
the best experience it could be. We didn’t
have our own gym to play games in. We

at the college level at Arizona State.
Transitioning from Seton with 180
students to a university boasting 40,000
was a massive change, and somewhat
intimidating, but I learned to adapt
and very quickly found myself at home.
Academics at ASU were challenging,
but the study habits I had developed at
Seton, and the discipline I had taken on,
served me very well.
Upon graduation from ASU, I accepted
a position at the Law School of Arizona
State University and worked there for two
years as I discerned a vocation to the
priesthood. After two years of working

didn’t even have a cafeteria or a library
for the first two years I was there. Our
weight room was a metal shack in the
back of the parking lot. But none of that
mattered because high school is about
people--not buildings. When you know
people actually care about what happens
to you, it makes you think twice about
caring for your own future. And when
you know teachers, faculty, and coaches
want you to be successful and happy in
whatever you decide to do in the future, it
makes a big difference in cultivating your
own desire for your success.
On average 40-50% of SCP students
receive college scholarship money.
In 2012, this totaled $1.6 million for
their first year of college and could
exceed $6.4 million through their
4th year of college.

As educators, we all hope that
we create the “perfect” student.
This student would achieve perfect
scores on each and every quiz and test,
earn awards on National tests, become a
National Merit finalist, and earn the glory of
being an AP scholar. However, as an educator,
I know that each and every student is different,
and my goal is to provide my students with many
experiences to help them prepare for their futures
(and I am not just talking about the benefits of Latin
for earning high SAT scores!).
Sev
Rodarte
My family has a long history here in the
Valley. In 1932, Severiano Vargas Rodarte
and Maria Ayala were married. My parents
were young, settled in a home on East
Morelos Street in Chandler and raised five
children with extended family members
living close by. The cotton fields provided
work to support the family, and my father
also worked as a caddy at the San Marcos
Hotel during the off season where my
mother worked as a maid. In the 1950’s,
my father became a farm labor contractor,
and was a familiar sight in the barrio,
loading workers into his big truck.
My parents worked hard to provide for our
family, and their example was not lost on
my siblings and me. I was very active during
my time at Seton serving as Class President
and Student Body Vice President. I lettered
in football, basketball and baseball,
participated in school activities, and
generally maintained good grades.
After graduation from Seton in 1962, I
attended Loyola Marymount majoring in
Political Science. Loyola had an affiliation
with the Air Force at the time, and in 1966
I graduated from college and obtained my
commission as an Air Force Officer. I served
our country for four years as an Air Force
Intelligence Officer.
Upon returning home, I entered the College
of Law at ASU and graduated in 1973. I
have had a 30 year career practicing law
in Phoenix and have my own law firm. The
experiences and challenges of my time at
Seton, along with the relationships I had
with great classmates, played a major role
in shaping the moral character, discipline,
strength of purpose and common sense
that allowed me to pursue my life and
career path. My 32 classmates and I
recently celebrated our 50th year reunion
(yes, we are still kicking), and my Seton
friends remain to this day some of my
closest.

I have been blessed to be an educator for 15 years, here at Seton Catholic from 1999-2004,
returning again in 2012. Through the years, I have had a number of opportunities to take students
abroad to Europe so that they may experience another culture. Not only do I love showing my students
about the world of the ancient Romans, but I also love to show them how to be a traveler rather than a
tourist. While in Italy, my students speak Italian, go to the grocery store, and learn how to ride the public
transportation. Years later, my students contact me and tell me how that experience has helped them
in their future endeavors. One former student, after a visit to Italy, fell in love with Renaissance Art and
pursued a degree in art history. This student is pursuing her passion by teaching AP Art History!
Not every student has the opportunity to go to Europe, so I try to provide my students with
a number of service opportunities. My students have participated in the “adopt a family”
program, collected items for an animal shelter, and made crib cards for babies in neonatal
ICU. My students have also worked with special needs students. By doing this, they have
learned what it is like to be a teacher and how to modify their lesson plans to meet the
needs of their special needs students. As a result, I not only have had a number
of students become educators, but also special needs teachers. I love to hear
their stories of being in the classroom and how they have used some of my
teaching methods to help them! Providing loving service to others is a
very important part of Seton Catholic’s mission statement, and
it is so meaningful to all involved!

I was fortunate to attend Seton Catholic High School and
graduated with the Class of 1986. Seton prepared me well for my
career as a physician and military officer. The math and science classes
provided a solid foundation which were invaluable as I fulfilled aerospace
engineering pre-requisites at ASU, graduated from medical school, obtained
a masters degree heavily loaded with biostatistics at Harvard, and completed
the basic pilot training classes required for U.S. Navy flight surgeons.

Ernest
Lee, MD, MPH
At ASU, I was enrolled in the Honors College. At first I was intimidated knowing
some of my classmates had come from much larger high schools with formal
honors programs. I remember cringing when opening the envelope containing my first
semester grades; then jumping with joy after seeing I had scored a 4.0. That was when I
realized just how well Seton had prepared me for college. During my MPH year at Harvard,
I submitted a manuscript to the Journal of the American Medical Association. A few weeks
later, I was notified that my manuscript had been accepted for publication. I have since published
numerous articles and book chapters for Harvard and Oxford University. The quality of a Seton
education is second to none.
The experience I gained as a Student Council and National Honor Society officer while at Seton provided me with a head start in military
leadership. Currently, I help prepare 125 airmen of the 752nd Medical Squadron for deployment anytime, anywhere – to defend our nation’s
freedom. I also volunteer as Commanding Officer of a Navy League Cadet unit in California – helping to prepare junior high and high school
students to be leaders in our nation’s maritime services.
Seton instilled within me Catholic principles that have served as a moral compass throughout my career as a military officer – as a Navy
Company Commander, as a Division Officer of Aviation Medicine, as an Air Force Flight Commander, as Chief of Medical Staff at Kunsan Air
Base (Republic of Korea), as Chief of Air Force Occupational Medicine, and as Chief of Aerospace Medicine at March Air Reserve Base. The
Catholic principles I learned as a Seton student shaped what I believe to be the most important leadership skills an individual can practice-the ability to listen and understand, to empathize with people, and to respect others.
The most important lesson Seton taught me, however, was to help those less fortunate. My math teacher, Sr. Mary Teresa, was always
going on missions to help the poor in Mexico, and her example stayed with me. Years later, I volunteered to go on a medical mission to
the Philippines. At the mission, a principal asked me to help her school feed malnourished children. After observing just how small and
thin the kids were, I funded a feeding project for 50 kids. The school held a dinner to express their gratitude, and that was where I
met the most beautiful lady – Delailah. We married and now have three wonderful children: Andre, 11; Christine, 9; and Lysette, 7.
Our family resides in Victorville, California where I serve on a nearby Marine Corps base as the Chief of Occupational Medicine.
In 2011, the Association of Philippine Physicians and Allied Health Professionals of Arizona asked me to help organize a
medical mission. I contacted a plastic surgeon I had met from Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and she agreed to
help. Within six months, I obtained permission from the host nation government. Last October, the mission took
place at Santa Ana Hospital, Manila, Philippines. My wife, Delailah, led the dental component of the mission,
and together, the dental and plastic surgery team surgically corrected 5 cleft lip/palate patients. The
seed of service planted so many years ago by Sr. Mary Teresa had blossomed and was rewarded
with tears of joy from the parents of the children we had helped.

Despite my
relentless
and
passionate
love for all
things physics,
it is not the only
learning objective
present in my classroom. Not all students
will develop a passion for the technical
wonders of physics, but there are a few
universal skills I encourage that everyone
should find useful regardless of the life path
they might take. First and foremost is the
skill of respecting the diversity with which
humanity has been blessed.
Humans are instinctually tribalistic. But
it is also the human condition to strive to
overcome some of these baser instincts.
One of the strategies I employ to encourage
students to mingle with all the various
“tribes” in the classroom (in spite of the
whining and complaining), is the random
assignment of groups for each and every
new group activity or lab. This encourages
students to learn the skills of getting along
with others not like themselves, accomplish
work within a spectrum of achievers, and
to tolerate the differences which make
humanity so amazing.
Prayer is the order of the day before each
class period at Seton Catholic. Another
life skill I attempt to foster in my students
revolves around this beginning of class
prayer. I have found much value in personal
and spiritual reflection. Instead of the typical
“intentions” round-robin, I instead give the
students something to reflect upon, such as
forgiveness, responsibility and, my all-time
favorite, gratitude. While on any given day the
impact might be hit-or-miss, my hope is that
students begin to develop the skills to take
that time-out in order to reflect on where they
are physically, mentally and spiritually.

I am a Junior at Seton Catholic Prep, and I love Seton! My favorite class is Honors
Algebra 2 with Mrs. (Heather) Sternberg. Fall is the time for my favorite school
activity—Sentinel Football!! It’s fun to go to the games and sit with my friends in the
stands and cheer for my friends on the field.
I also enjoy being a Sentinel Student Ambassador. Student Ambassadors is a club
open to sophomores, juniors and seniors who are involved in extracurricular activities
and maintain a good academic standing. Ambassadors act as student representatives
of our school at activities on campus and also in the greater community. As an
ambassador, some of the activities I have helped with are the Golden Sentinel
Reunion, Phone-A-Thons, Mothers’ Mass, and Seton’s shadow program.
When I’m away from school, I participate in competitive horseback riding. I have been
riding with the Nadir Riding Academy since I was five years old. I was recently honored
by the Arizona Hunter Jumper Association (AHJA) and the United States Equestrian
Federation (USEF) for my activities in the 2012 show season. I placed in the following
categories: Reserve Champion in the Open Jumpers High, Champion in the Open
Jumpers High, and Champion in the Junior/Amateur Owner Jumpers. Based on points
accumulated throughout the 2012 show year, myself and my mount, Le Grande, were
named Arizona Jumper of the Year for 2012. I also placed fourth in Zone 8 which
consists of competitors from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. By the end of
the 2012 season, I was competing in Grand Prix with a jumping height of four feet and
seven inches, and I’m excited to continue to compete against professional riders at
this height as a junior amateur.
There are so many things I enjoy about being in high school, and the people that
make up Seton Catholic Prep are the highlight. I am so glad to be a Sentinel!

SERVICE LEADERSHIP IN ACTION
Shoeboxes for the
Homeless Project
This year Seton Catholic Prep
health teacher and athletic
trainer, Joanne Scandura,
called upon her health class
students to assist with the
“Shoeboxes for the Homeless”
project through her parish,
Our Lady of the Valley Catholic
Church. Each year this
project focuses on filling shoe
boxes with full size bottles
of shampoo, mouthwash,
soap, toothpaste, toothbrush,
comb, socks, scarves, and a
non perishable item such as
granola bars.
The boxes are then
wrapped, delivered to André
House and given to their
male guests on Christmas.
André House is a ministry
to the homeless and poor
populations of the Phoenix
metro area. Located in the
heart of the Capital Mall
District, they make their
services available to hundreds
of people in need every day
and are dedicated to serving
Jesus through serving others.
The Seton Catholic Prep
students learned through this
project that approximately 1 in
5 Phoenix residents live below
the poverty line…many of
these being single, homeless
adults. Among those living in
shelters, 1 in 3 are children,
15% are veterans and 16%
suffer from a mental illness.
The students also learned that
many people in our community
are considered the “working
poor” and need substantial
assistance to provide even
the basic living necessities for
their families on a daily basis.
Thank you to Ms. Scandura
and her health class students
for participating in this year’s
Shoeboxes for the Homeless
project!
Faculty member Ms.
Scandura loads her car
with just some of the
boxes collected and
distributed by a team of
Seton students. Each box
is filled with toiletry and
food items and donated to
the homeless through Our
Lady of the Valley Catholic
Church.

The 2nd Annual Senior/Young Alumni Forum was hosted by the Alumni Advisory
Council and the Counseling Department. Young alums were invited to campus to
talk about what it’s really like to go off to college and they answered questions
from the seniors about their experiences. Seton alumnus, Mike Korte ’01
facilitated the session with students.
New for this year, a parent information session was added to give parents the
opportunity to ask questions about how their parent-child relationship will change
during the transition to college. Mrs. Carrie Graham, Seton past parent and
admissions specialist with Arizona State University, conducted the session and
was introduced by Rachel Ryan Salanga ’94. Both Rachel and Mike are members
of the Seton Alumni Advisory Council.

The rally at the Capitol is just one

educators participate in the national
Catholic Schools Week celebration.
Now in its 40th year, Catholic Schools
Week highlights the value a Catholic
education provides to young people and
Catholic education’s contributions to the
community and nation.
“Catholic Schools Week is a time for
our families and educators to celebrate
the integration of our faith with our high
academic standards,” said MaryBeth
Mueller, superintendent of Catholic
Schools of the Diocese of Phoenix. “Our
schools and students are committed
to service, and make a significant
contribution to Arizona and America.”
The weeklong celebration at Seton
Catholic began Jan. 27 and continued
through Feb. 2. This celebration week
also included a Grandparents Mass
on January 29 and culminated in the
traditional Seton ‘THON Walk-a-Thon
student-fundraising event on Friday,

Seton Catholic Prep’s Rex
Bowser named Coach of
the Year
After Seton quickly jumped on a team that had shut out eight teams, including the
past two in the playoffs, and shocked Lakeside Blue Ridge 28-7 for the Division IV
championship at NAU’s Walkup Skydome, AZ Central named Seton Catholic’s Head
Coach, Rex Bowser, Small Schools Coach of the Year. It was Seton’s first football
championship since 1997, and the end of two-time defending state champion Blue
Ridge’s 28-game winning streak.
The SCP veteran football team was hit hard with injuries early in the season, mainly
with senior quarterback Ryan Bresnahan (51 touchdown passes in 2011) suffering a
broken bone in his throwing hand in the loss to Tempe Prep. It also had injuries to its
starting left guard, right tackle, middle linebacker and leading rusher. Seton Senior
David Gesicki helped lead the offense at quarterback, before Bresnahan came back
strong in the playoffs, as Seton captured its first state championship since 1997,
shocking defending Division IV champion Lakeside Blue Ridge 28-7 in the final in
Flagstaff. Seton finished 13-1 in Bowser’s fifth season at Seton Catholic Prep. Bowser,
who coached 33 years in Indiana, 29 as a head coach, has a 39-21 record, 6-2 in the
playoffs, at Seton.
Coach Bowser commented on the state championship win, “We were hit with so
many injuries to key players early in the year … but the kids we plugged in to fill the
holes kept stepping up and getting the job done, and I started to feel this team could
be special. I thought if we could ever get our full team back, we could be very good.”
CONGRATULATIONS!

Seton Catholic Preparatory High School’s
varsity softball coach Jerry Mullin was
inducted into the 9th Annual Chandler
Sports Hall of Fame on February 9, 2013.
He has coached 11 state championship
teams during his time at Seton Catholic
Prep and his program has been voted
the Best High School Softball Program
in Arizona over the past 25 seasons on
AZCentral.com.
Mullin has coached softball at Seton
Catholic Prep for more than 25 years. His
teams have won at every level from 2A
through 4A-II. In addition, he has coached
numerous athletes who have gone on to
compete in Division I college softball. “He
motivates his players by providing us with
opportunities to improve during practice
and with a competitive schedule,” said
Lisa Wrangler, Seton Catholic Prep
alumnus and a member of the 1998
State Championship team.
Mullin has been with Seton Catholic
Prep since 1985 in both a teaching and
a coaching capacity. In addition to his
role as varsity softball coach, Mullin
also serves as the Director of Guidance
Counseling Department. “Having known
and worked with Jerry Mullin for over 20
years, I can honestly say he gives his all to
his students at Seton Catholic Prep every
day, but Jerry lives for his softball team,”
said Patricia Collins, Seton Catholic Prep
principal.
Jerry Mullin has taught world history,
religion, P.E. and psychology at Seton
Catholic Prep since beginning here
in 1985. Mullin believes a Catholic
education prepares his students for life,
while the lessons they learn on the field
helps them face challenges in life. Mullin
and his wife of 34 years attend Queen of
Peace Catholic Church in Mesa. Together
they have three grown children, all
graduates of Seton Catholic Prep, along
with four grandchildren.
Coach Mullin’s accomplishments,
along with those of six other individuals
and one team, were celebrated at the 9th
Annual Chandler Sports Hall of Fame
Induction Ceremony and Lunch on Sat.,
Feb. 9, 2012, at the Chandler Center
for the Arts. Since 2004, the Chandler
Sports Hall of Fame has recognized
some of the best athletes, coaches and
teams from 100 years of Chandler sports
excellence. The selection committee is
comprised of former coaches, school
administrators, athletes and others
with a genuine interest in the history of
athletics in Chandler. Hall candidates
can be individuals or athletic teams
which brought recognition to the City of
Chandler. This recognition may include
national or statewide record setting
performances or contribution to the
community and athletics in general.
Congratulations
Coach Mullin!

Hall of Fame Nominations
Being Accepted for 2013
2012
The University Cup was established in 1929 and is awarded annually to the Arizona
high school with a representation of 10 or more students in UA’s freshman class that
cumulatively earned the highest GPA average during their freshman year at the UA.
Seton Catholic’s 16 graduates from the class of 2011 had a cumulative GPA of 3.342
during their freshman year at UA.
“The University of Arizona is fortunate to attract the very best high school students
from Arizona and all over the country. The UA Office of Admissions maintains the
proud tradition of recognizing these top students and their respective high schools
for their academic performance. This recognition is facilitated via the Arizona Cup
Awards for Arizona high schools and the Old Main Brick Awards for out-of-state
high schools. Each award respectively identifies those schools and their alums for
achieving the highest UA grade point averages as a group.
Students from these schools will be invited to a campus reception later this
year and recognized for their achievement. Each high school is also provided with
a scholarship to assist students seeking future enrollment at the UA. We look
forward to the continued academic success of these great students and thank them
for enriching our Wildcat community,” said Rafael Meza, Director, Undergraduate
Recruitment
Part of the award will allow for current UA sophomores to nominate a Teacher and
Counselor of the year. They will be recognized at a later date.
In addition to the trophy and the recognition for its former students’ efforts, Seton
Catholic Preparatory High School will receive a one-time $2,000 scholarship that will
be given to a Seton Catholic graduate entering the University of Arizona for fall 2013.
The scholarship winner will be announced at a later date.

The Fund for Seton Catholic The Sustaining Seton Society
Monthly Giving Club
Giving as little as $20 per month to the Fund for Seton Catholic makes it easy for you to make
a difference for our students. These monthly gifts are easy to fit into your budget for charitable
giving. Participation at any level will ensure continued excellence in our classrooms, expansion
of extracurricular activities and added technology benefits. Membership in the Sustaining Seton
Society allows you the ease and security of automatic giving directly to Seton Catholic.
After enrollment in the Society, you will receive a free Seton Catholic memento as well as a Seton
Catholic events pass, which will entitle you and a guest to free admission to five Seton athletic or
fine arts events during the course of the school year. Enroll electronically by clicking the “donate
now” button, choose the Fund for Seton Catholic and the monthly deduction frequency.
Employer Matching Gifts - Did you know that you can double or even triple your donation
to the Fund for Seton Catholic? Many employers offer a Matching Gift Program to help maximize
your gifts to charitable organizations. Check with your Human Resources Department for
details. It’s as simple as enclosing a form from your employer along with your donation. The
Advancement Office will do the rest!
Electronic Giving - Giving a gift online by credit or debit card is easy using our secure
website (SetonCatholic.org). Online donations allow you the flexibility of making a one-time gift or
scheduling a smaller, recurring monthly gift if that’s what works best for you.
For additional information or questions,
call Lucille in the Seton Advancement Office at 480-963-1900, ext. 2006, or send an email to

What is an Honorarium Gift?
Making a gift to honor a living friend or relative on
special occasions in their lives is also available through
the Commemorative Giving Program. It’s a great way
to let someone know you are thinking of them on their
special day, whether it be a birthday, holiday, wedding,
anniversary, graduation, promotion, civic honor, or any
other special occasion.
How can I participate?
The Commemorative Giving Program is available to you through the Seton
Catholic Preparatory High School website at www.setoncatholic.org, under
the Support Seton tab.
