MISSION STATEMENT<br />
<strong>Reitz</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is a Christ-centered Catholic Community which educates all students to their<br />
highest potential by developing religious values, providing excellence in education, and fostering a<br />
commitment to service<br />
Mrs. Cyndi Schneider<br />
Principal<br />

Providing an environment<br />
where God inspires,<br />
we educate, students thrive<br />
<strong>April</strong>, 2012<br />
<strong>Memorial</strong>’s accreditation visit is finally over but there is still a lot of work to be<br />
done. One of the advantages of going through this process is finding out what areas<br />
we need to really concentrate on to improve our school and know what we are doing<br />
really well. I cannot express how much I appreciate all the time and effort put into this<br />
process by the faculty, staff, parents and students. The QAR team was very<br />
impressed by our students and their interviews.<br />
***************<br />
Several people have called to ask about tickets for graduation this year.<br />
Each family will receive 12 tickets. You will be notified by ConnectEd when we have<br />
them ready for pickup.<br />
***************<br />
The Class of 2013 headshots for the yearbook will be changed this year.<br />
Ladies: nice sweater or blouse that covers the shoulders, no tank tops or shirts with<br />
logos, words or advertisements and hair color must meet the requirements in the<br />
student handbook.<br />
Gentlemen: sport coat, dress shirt, tie (properly tied), hair length and color must meet<br />
the requirements in the student handbook, and be clean shaven.<br />
<strong>Reitz</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is proud to announce the<br />
achievement of accreditation from AdvancEd. The Administration, faculty, and staff would<br />
like to thank everyone involved in the process. We could not have accomplished our goal<br />
without the help of our parents and community.<br />
WHAT IS ACCREDITATION?<br />
“Accreditation is inextricably linked to institution and educational system<br />
improvement. The accreditation process asks institutions and systems to critically<br />
evaluate their vision, strategies, priorities, leadership, and programs and resources.<br />
The process of earning and maintaining accreditation provides institutions and<br />
educational systems with clear and compelling direction for implementing changes<br />
to move toward excellence.”

IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS<br />
In addition to the present school immunization requirements, the Indiana State Department of<br />
Health made the following changes to the school immunization requirements beginning with the<br />
2010-2011 school year. Please be aware of these changes. They are as follows:<br />
� All 6th -12th grade students will be required to have 2 doses of varicella (chickenpox)<br />
vaccine, given on or after the first birthday, and separated by age-appropriate intervals as<br />
defined by the CDC.<br />
� All 6th - 12th grade students will be required to have 1 dose of tetanus-diphtheria-acellular<br />
pertussis vaccine (Tdap) given on or after the 10th birthday.<br />
� All 6th - 12th grade students will be required to have 1 dose of meningococcal conjugate<br />
vaccine (MCV4).<br />
The Vanderburgh County Health Department offers all of the required vaccines, free of charge, by<br />
appointment (call 435-5997) or on a walk-in basis on Monday- Wednesday-Friday from 8:00 a.m.<br />
to 3:00 p.m. or on Tuesday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Children must be accompanied by a<br />
parent or guardian and all shot records. Back-to-school clinics will also be offered in July and<br />
August, but to avoid the rush, students may be vaccinated now.
FROM THE OFFICE OF<br />
THE CHAPLAIN,<br />
Fr. Alex Zenthoefer<br />
Dear Parents,<br />
I want to thank you all for your prayers for our community at <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> and for those who were<br />
able to join us for the Day of Adoration last month. Our accreditation visit indicated that our students, faculty,<br />
alumni and stakeholders all recognize that this community believes that Christ is the reason for our school’s<br />
existence. Our prayer for one another is a great expression of this Christ-centered community. I would<br />
encourage you to mark your calendars for May 2, which is our next Day of Adoration. Again, just contact<br />
Pam Stucke in the Main Office to sign up for a time slot.<br />
As the school year rapidly comes to a close and the students’ eyes are fixed on the end of May, now is a good<br />
time to encourage our young people to stay on board and to not take for granted the friendships they have<br />
formed this year, especially for our Seniors. I hope that for you and your family the Easter Season will be one<br />
of new life and new enthusiasm in your life of faith.<br />

COUNSELOR’S CORNER<br />
SCHOLARSHIPS<br />
A detailed description of each scholarship application currently in the Counseling<br />
Office can be found at the <strong>Memorial</strong> web site – www.reitzmemorial.org. Click<br />
on Counseling/Guidance and then on “Current Scholarships Available”. If you<br />
do not have access to the Internet, a copy of the scholarships and their description<br />
is available to you through the Counseling Office. Most of the listed scholarships<br />
are available to current Seniors only. If other classes are eligible to apply, it is denoted in front of<br />
the scholarship name.<br />
Mrs. Koop and Mrs. McKinney will be visiting senior homerooms the week of <strong>April</strong> 9 th . Forms will<br />
be given to students that need to be returned ASAP. You can help by starting to compile the<br />
following information:<br />
1. A list of colleges your student has been accepted to<br />
2. A list of scholarship offers and amounts – even if it is from a school that your student is<br />
not attending<br />
3. A list of awards and honors your student has received THIS academic year<br />
4. Discuss with your child EXACTLY how you would like their name to appear on the<br />
diploma. They will need to write it on a form the day of the HR visit. Keep in mind:<br />
Most people include middle names and suffixes such as III, Jr., etc.<br />
HONORS NIGHT/BOOK<br />
A Senior “Honors Book” will be printed and distributed to students after Honors<br />
Night in early May. The book will include all student honors that we are aware of<br />
and have received to date for the 2011-2012 school year. Each student’s list of<br />
recognitions and honors will be based on information supplied by the student on a<br />
form which all Seniors received in <strong>April</strong>. It is each student’s responsibility to fill<br />
out the form and return it to Mrs. Neimeier, counseling secretary, for inclusion in<br />
the Honors Book. Additions may continue to be made until <strong>April</strong> 30 th . Any awards<br />
received after that date may be announced in our June newsletter if the Counseling<br />
Office is notified by May 18 th .<br />

waivers will be accepted the week of <strong>April</strong> 16 th – <strong>April</strong> 20 th .<br />

schools require up to 3 SAT II tests. You can discover which schools require SAT II testing by<br />
visiting a school’s web-site.<br />
NEWS FOR JUNIORS FROM INDIANA UNIVERSITY<br />
IU is now super scoring the SAT and ACT which means they will combine the highest scores for<br />
each subtest from different exams. This will help make the student more competitive for<br />
admission and scholarships. IU encourages students to test several times and report all test scores.<br />
Students applying for fall 2013 must complete seven semesters of math. This must include one<br />
semester of pre-calculus, trigonometry, or calculus.<br />

COUNSELOR’S CORNER<br />
PLAN AHEAD FOR FALL SAT AND ACT<br />

November 3 rd for the SAT and September 8 th and October 27 th for the ACT. It is not yet<br />
possible to register for these test dates, but you could put them on your calendar. It is highly<br />
recommended that the Class of 2013 test in May or June so that they can apply early in their<br />
Senior year for Colleges. Since the tests are on Saturday mornings, it is important to be<br />
aware of sport and other school function dates and times that may affect a student’s<br />
concentration.<br />

On Thursday, <strong>April</strong> 5 at 6:00 p.m. there will be a meeting in the Media Center for all Junior<br />
parents. We will be discussing our progress with the planning of the After Prom. Please<br />
consider stopping by! We need lots of people to help organize/plan this event. We are a fun<br />
group and some tasks are simple so don’t be shy, please attend the meeting. We are also<br />
looking for people to help chaperone and assist during the After Prom event<br />
(<strong>April</strong> 28 – 11 p.m. – 1:30a.m.). If you cannot attend but would like to help, please email<br />
one of us. Thank you!!!!<br />

Nothing gets students to an After Prom event like great prizes.<br />
If you would like to donate something extra for prizes, such as gift<br />
certificates (restaurant, movies, Best Buy, Target, Sonic) or actual items etc,<br />
please let us know.<br />
Thank you, Junior parents, for your support!!!!<br />

“Global Competence Is a 21 st Century Imperative”<br />
“The 21 st century isn’t coming; it’s already here!<br />
Our students have the opportunity and challenge<br />
of living and working in a diverse and rapidly<br />
changing world. There is widespread recognition<br />
that a thorough understanding of global issues is<br />
critical to our efforts to promote democratic<br />
principles and social justice, improve our economic<br />
competitiveness, and provide leadership in innovation<br />
and creativity.” The National Education Association<br />
believes that “education is the only avenue through<br />
which today’s students—tomorrow workers—can<br />
attain global competence. Through education our<br />
students can develop habits of the mind that embrace<br />
tolerance, a commitment to cooperation, an appreciation<br />
of our common humanity, and a sense of responsibility<br />
--key elements of global competence.”<br />
In the 2012-2013 school year the Department of World<br />
Languages of RMHS is proud to offer our students two<br />
new courses:<br />
*Arabic Studies (an introduction to the Arabic<br />
language and culture) to be taught by a former<br />
international business executive who worked and<br />
lived in the Arab world (a region which includes<br />
22 countries) for over 25 years.<br />
*Chinese Studies (an introduction to Mandarin<br />
Chinese and culture) to be taught by a native of<br />
China.<br />
Both of these courses are certain to provide our students<br />
with an eye-opening and mind-broadening experience<br />
which will lead them to a greater understanding of the<br />
music, culture, and language of these two regions.<br />
**For information about these courses, please contact<br />
Mrs. Walling at: brendawalling@reitzmemorial.org.<br />

SERVICE HOURS REMINDER from Ms. Saundra Morris<br />
We are beginning the fourth quarter of our school year, and it is time to remind your students of their service<br />
hour requirement.<br />
The mission statement of MHS includes fostering a commitment to service. Our philosophy is to develop a<br />
Christian view of reality through the presentation of the Gospel values and the exercise of Christian life.<br />
We regard Christian service as an integral component of the education process at every grade level. All students<br />
are required to perform fifteen hours of service each year for their parish/place of worship, their community or<br />
school. One-half of those hours must be completed at their parish/place of worship. Service hour forms are<br />
available in Room 303.<br />
All service hours need to be turned in to their Theology teachers or myself no later than May 11, 2010.<br />
All seniors must have a minimum of 50 hours turned in, one-half of them from their parish/place of worship.<br />
TEENS FOR LIFE NEWS Submitted by Saundra Morris and Annette Smallwood<br />
The Teens for Life Club has been very busy during the 2011-2012 school year. The students have been involved in<br />
many activities involving all aspects of life. Since this school year began, they have participated in: The Life Chain;<br />
Right to Life Spring Banquet; worked Right to Life Fall Festival Booth; Caroling at nursing home, both Christmas and<br />
Spring; Life Choices-bought, cooked and served Thanksgiving dinner and adopted a mom; Adopted a family at<br />
Christmas; Pilgrimage of Life in Washington, DC and The March of Dimes walk. These teens are a great group of<br />
students who believe in showing their support for all aspects of life from “Womb 2 Tomb” (Diocesan logo this year).<br />
They also made a donation again this year of $250.00 to Riley Hospital.<br />
In order to meet the cost of the Pilgrimage to Washington DC, the students did two fundraisers during the year. They<br />
sold Dewig Meats and Worlds Finest Chocolate. They work very hard in balancing their school work, families, jobs,<br />
and the responsibilities they take on as a member of Teens for Life. They are a great group of students who give their<br />
all. The four officers this year did a great job, Macie Elliott, Lauren Klipsch, Natalie Neisen, Marshall Howell and Maria<br />
Mehringer. Thanks for a great job, we will miss you.<br />
We just held elections for the 2012-2013 school year. The following four students will make the new year a great<br />
success. They are Brenna Wu-President, Maria Mehringer-Vice-President, Natalie Neisen-Secretary/Treasurer and<br />
Jackson Howell-Chaplain. Congratulations.<br />

PUT A CAP ON CANCER<br />
We invite you to support the <strong>Memorial</strong> Theatre Department's Put a Cap on Cancer project by bringing in<br />
plastic bottle caps! Any type of cap counts-- everything from water bottle and milk jug caps to ketchup bottle<br />
and laundry detergent caps.<br />
We will be making a bench from the recycled caps in honor of those members of our MHS family that are<br />
suffering from cancer. A worthwhile project of this size will require a tremendous amount of support, and we<br />
look forward to you joining with us in this endeavor. We have collected enough caps to have two benches made.<br />
Also, please come support our <strong>Memorial</strong> family members dealing with cancer by attending our spring musical,<br />
“Once Upon a Mattress”. A dollar from every ticket sold through the box office will be donated to<br />
the American Cancer Society to help find a cure.<br />
Thank you for your support!<br />

BROTHER EUGENE PHILLIPP TEACHER AWARD<br />
At the funeral home the night before Brother Eugene was buried, many former students went<br />
to the podium and talked about the impact Brother had on their lives. Each had a different story to<br />
tell, but they often ended the same way, “I don’t know if Brother ever knew how much he influenced<br />
me.” While there can be only one Brother Eugene, <strong>Reitz</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> has many other teachers who<br />
have made the extra effort, gone above and beyond what was expected, and helped influence,<br />
motivate, and inspire their students. Several alumnae and the members of the <strong>School</strong> Board have<br />
decided to establish a new tradition at <strong>Memorial</strong>, by recognizing each year an outstanding teacher.<br />
Anyone can nominate a teacher by completing the entry form. Please return them by July 31<br />
to the <strong>School</strong> Secretary, <strong>Reitz</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>, 1500 Lincoln Avenue, Evansville, Indiana<br />
47714. The winner will be chosen by a panel of five persons which will include the <strong>School</strong> Chaplain<br />
and a teaching instructor from UE, USI or Ivy Tech. The winner will be announced at a school<br />
Mass. To be eligible to receive the award, the teacher must have a minimum of three years’ teaching<br />
experience at <strong>Memorial</strong> and must:<br />
Display superior knowledge of his/her subject matter;<br />
Spend time in addition to class time with the students;<br />
Convey to the students the kindness and charity that is Christ-like;<br />
Have a passion for teaching and a love for learning; and,<br />
Be dedicated to each student’s success.<br />
It is our duty as followers of Christ to express our thanks to selfless teachers who are paid<br />
less than their public school peers but who make valuable contributions to our school and our<br />
society. We also need to counter the negative culture found in present-day discussions of teacher<br />
performance. We are choosing to highlight those who are working tirelessly and quietly for the sole<br />
purpose of helping our children to reach their highest potential. We believe this will serve as an<br />
encouragement to all teachers, those who receive the award as well as those who do not.<br />
The Committee which set out the criteria for the Teacher Award considered the irony that<br />
Brother Eugene would have been most reluctant to have received such an award himself. We<br />
believe, however, that once he understood that the award is to help the school which he dearly loved<br />
by encouraging those teachers of whom he was so fond, he would have been proud to accept it.<br />

BROTHER EUGENE PHILLIPP TEACHER AWARD<br />
Award: $1500<br />
Name of each recipient to be engraved on plaque hung in school<br />
Criteria:<br />
To be awarded to a teacher with a minimum of three years’ teaching<br />
experience at <strong>Memorial</strong> and who:<br />
� Displays superior knowledge of his/her subject matter<br />
� Spends time in addition to class time with the students<br />
� Conveys to the students the kindness and charity that<br />
is Christ-like<br />
� Has a passion for teaching and a love for learning<br />
� Is dedicated to each student’s success<br />
To be chosen by a committee of five:<br />
� Chair of the <strong>Memorial</strong> Board or Board member appointed by Chair<br />
� <strong>School</strong> Chaplain<br />
� Recipient of award from immediately preceding year<br />
� A teaching instructor from UE, USI or Ivy Tech<br />
� A <strong>Memorial</strong> graduate who has been out of <strong>Memorial</strong> for at least ten years<br />
Prior to selection, the identity of the top five nominees shall be submitted to the <strong>Memorial</strong> principal. The<br />
principal shall write a brief paragraph about the nominees indicating how each nominee may or may not<br />
qualify for the award.<br />
Nomination Process:<br />
Nominations made by current students and parents, <strong>Memorial</strong> alumni, and fellow teachers<br />
Publication of award criteria and forms in school email newsletter, <strong>Memorial</strong> publications and<br />
email alumni newsletter in January<br />
Completed forms to be submitted by March 31 Academic Subcommittee Chair through <strong>Memorial</strong> office<br />
The committee shall make its selection which shall be announced at a school Mass.<br />
The purpose of setting up such an award is twofold.<br />
First, it gives the Board, alumni, students, and faculty the opportunity to<br />
recognize outstanding efforts made by one individual for the benefit of the<br />
entire school. It is our duty as followers of Christ to express our thanks to<br />
selfless teachers who are paid less than their public school peers but who<br />
make valuable contributions to our society.<br />
The second reason for establishing this award is to counter the negative<br />
culture found in present-day discussions of teacher performance. We are<br />
choosing to highlight those who are working tirelessly and quietly for the<br />
sole purpose of helping our children to reach their highest potential. This is<br />
the kind of evaluation which we believe will serve as an encouragement to<br />
all teachers, those who receive the award as well as those who do not.<br />
The Committee which set out the criteria for the Teacher Award confronted the irony that Brother Eugene would have<br />
been most reluctant to have received such an award himself. We believe, however, that once he understood that the<br />
award is to help that school which he dearly loved by encouraging those teachers of whom he was so fond, he would<br />
have been persuaded to accept it.<br />
