Dear Friends,<br />
Today is the Feast of Pentecost, a time<br />
in which the church celebrates the<br />
bursting forth of the Spirit that led<br />
ordinary men and women to be on<br />
fire with Christ’s message. The Feast of<br />
Pentecost challenges all of us to unlock<br />
the doors of our hearts, to unleash the<br />
gifts we have been given, and to unearth<br />
our everyday actions with energy and<br />
excitement.<br />
It is my hope that our 50th Anniversary<br />
Year may have been a bit of a Pentecost<br />
experience for <strong>Seton</strong>: our celebrations<br />
bringing forth a new sense of<br />
connectedness that ignites all of us to<br />
advance the mission of a school gifted<br />
with a tremendous spirit.<br />
This first edition of S Magazine has<br />
been crafted to express the new energy<br />
and excitement of the Office of <strong>Seton</strong><br />
Advancement. In the business world, I<br />
would say that our former Development<br />
Office has been re-structured, but I<br />
prefer to think of it as a spiritual rebirth.<br />
Our staff now includes Kelli<br />
Horton, Executive Director; Maureen<br />
McCart, Executive Manger; and Erica<br />
Corbin (’00), Associate Director. I am<br />
personally energized by this renewal as I<br />
believe it will enable <strong>Seton</strong> to open new<br />
doors for a vibrant future. However, for<br />
me to be on fire with this change, I have<br />
to see that it is connected to the heart of<br />
<strong>Seton</strong>: the students.<br />
And it was yesterday that I made<br />
this connection. I was reading recent<br />
surveys from all our stakeholders<br />
about the mission and vision of <strong>Seton</strong>.<br />
One question on the survey asked,<br />
“Should any concept be added to <strong>Seton</strong>’s<br />
mission?” A student answered as follows:<br />
“Yes, the bonds that we form that<br />
take us well beyond graduation: our<br />
sisterhood.” Her words stayed with me<br />
as I gathered, later, with my sister and<br />
her <strong>Seton</strong> friends for the evening.<br />
Yes, anonymous student, you are<br />
right! Any re-birth must be about our<br />
sisterhood: strengthening the ties that<br />
connect us to one another and to those<br />
who come after us and in particular,<br />
those who need our financial assistance.<br />
I can’t even imagine turning my back on<br />
one of my sisters (Maureen, Margaret, or<br />
Susan) when they need me. No matter<br />
how busy we get, or how different we<br />
are, they are my sisters. Likewise, it<br />
has to be the same with my sisters at<br />
<strong>Seton</strong>! We give one another our gifts to<br />
support one another, to strengthen one<br />
another, and to shoulder one another’s<br />
burdens. This was brought home to me<br />
this month when a member of my class<br />
lost her 21 year old son. Time stood still;<br />
nothing mattered to me except getting<br />
to her, being with her and praying for<br />
her.<br />
What greater gift; what more compelling<br />
call; what more flaming fire could call us<br />
to the renewal of <strong>Seton</strong> Advancement!<br />
May this Spirit of <strong>Seton</strong> inflame all of<br />
us, donors, friends, and alumnae to<br />
advance the mission of <strong>Seton</strong>, and may<br />
this same Spirit continue to give us the<br />
light to know and the grace to do!<br />
Warmly,<br />
Sister Ellen Marie<br />
President<br />
M i s s i o n<br />
The mission of <strong>Elizabeth</strong> <strong>Seton</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is to educate young women in the Spirit of St. <strong>Elizabeth</strong> Ann <strong>Seton</strong><br />
and St. Vincent de Paul, stressing Catholic values, academic excellence and service to those in need.<br />

Blink and it is over…before you know it,<br />
May is here in all of its glory. After four<br />
years of learning the ins and outs of<br />
the <strong>Seton</strong> hallways, scrambling to beat<br />
the bell for class, and finally cashing in<br />
on the opportunity to enter the Senior<br />
Lounge, The Class of 2010 has life all<br />
figured out. Then, out of nowhere,<br />
graduation day quietly shows up, and<br />
it is time to bid <strong>Elizabeth</strong> <strong>Seton</strong> farewell.<br />
All things the students know and<br />
understand suddenly change and the<br />
security and comfort in that notorious<br />
bell for class is gone.<br />
With every graduating class<br />
comes a special uniqueness,<br />
from their style of dress to the<br />
tricks they play on the freshman.<br />
The Class of 2010, however, stands out<br />
as a creative class. Tradition says that<br />
every year the Senior Class gives a gift<br />
to <strong>Seton</strong>.<br />
This year, the Class of 2010 decided<br />
to take it a step further and give back<br />
to the <strong>Seton</strong> Community by adopting<br />
a student. Thanks to innovative<br />
fundraising, and believing in the<br />
inevitable, The 2010 Class surpassed<br />
their class goals and accumulated<br />
enough money to help a student pay<br />
for books and other school necessities.<br />
This ground-breaking and diverse group<br />
of ladies will go down in <strong>Seton</strong> history!<br />
Although each graduating class may<br />
be different from the next, they all<br />
share one common trait. Every girl who<br />
enters through <strong>Seton</strong>’s doors leaves as<br />
a woman with an elevated confidence<br />
level, a sense of empowerment, and<br />
a brand new outlook on the world.<br />
Styles change from class to class;<br />
personalities differ among classmates;<br />
and the freshman gags continue to get<br />
more creative with time, but <strong>Elizabeth</strong><br />
<strong>Seton</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s promise to give<br />
every one of her ladies the “Light to<br />
Know and the Grace to Do” will never<br />
change. Four very unique women<br />
from the Class of 2010 are shining<br />
examples of this promise. Each one<br />
has a different dream after graduation;<br />
yet all four of them carry in their hearts<br />
the morals, knowledge, and words<br />
of encouragement from their time at<br />
<strong>Elizabeth</strong> <strong>Seton</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />
Chloe McKenzie exclaims, “I will<br />
be a member of the United Nations one<br />
day!” She is a graduating senior who<br />
will be attending Amherst College on a<br />
scholarship. She wants to double major<br />
in Anthropology and Foreign Language<br />
(Spanish, Italian, and Arabic). Chloe<br />
is an outstanding scholar who played<br />
varsity soccer and was the Senior Class<br />
president. This extraordinary young<br />
woman carries a passion for equality,<br />
justice, peace, and the human race.<br />
She believes that “being different<br />
is normal”.<br />
At a young age, Chloe learned to see<br />
all people as equal. Her enthusiasm to<br />
change the world, promote social justice<br />
and build peace bled into her life at<br />
<strong>Seton</strong>. <strong>Seton</strong>’s social justice teacher, Mr.<br />
McCluskey, encouraged her to join the<br />
Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which<br />
was credited as “the nation’s premier<br />
civil rights/human relations agency”.<br />
The ADL played a significant role in<br />
broadening her horizons about the<br />
importance of defending the ideals and<br />
civil rights of all people and building<br />
awareness of the injustices faced in<br />
the past and present. Chloe gained a<br />
greater knowledge about genocides<br />
such as the Holocaust and a better<br />
understanding about the importance<br />
of valuing human life and providing<br />
equality for the whole human race. She<br />
also took it upon herself to teach her<br />
classmates these same lessons.<br />
“When I started learning about<br />
Darfur, I could not stop.” Curiosity<br />
led Chloe to learn more about the<br />
crisis occurring in the Darfur region.<br />
As she familiarized herself about<br />
the genocides taking place, Chloe<br />
informed <strong>Seton</strong> about the injustice and<br />
how they could help. She created an<br />
after school program called P.E.A.C.E<br />
(Promoting Equality, Acceptance, and<br />
Compassion Everywhere) to help<br />
spread the awareness of the Darfur<br />
crisis. P.E.A.C.E members studied the<br />
history of Darfur, the colonization,<br />
and the reasons behind the genocide.<br />
They also researched other genocides<br />
such as the Bosnian genocide and the<br />
Holocaust. P.E.A.C.E has had great<br />
success in raising not only awareness<br />
for Darfur, but also in raising money<br />
to support the victims. Chloe received<br />
the Frederick Douglass and Susan B.<br />
Anthony award for her pioneer work<br />
on Darfur awareness. The members of<br />
P.E.A.C.E vowed to continue Chloe’s<br />
work as she journeys on to continue<br />
spreading justice and peace around the<br />
world.<br />
Over the last four years, Chloe has<br />
watched her <strong>Seton</strong> Sisters become more<br />
aware and accepting of diversity. She<br />
says, “Education is the biggest thing<br />
to happen in a person’s life.” As Chloe<br />
continues on to Amherst College,<br />
she hopes that the underclassmen<br />
continue to take their studies at <strong>Seton</strong><br />
seriously and use their knowledge to<br />
be conscientious of the world.<br />
Annette Englehart’s love for<br />
mechanics began in junior high school<br />
with a broken lock. She was able to fix<br />
it with no problem, and from that point<br />
on, she knew she had a gift.<br />

A C A D E M I C S (continued)<br />
Annette will be attending The<br />
University of Maryland Baltimore<br />
County (UMBC) this fall where she<br />
will major in mechanical engineering.<br />
Annette says, “I am going into a male<br />
dominated field, but <strong>Seton</strong> has really<br />
empowered me to step up and take on<br />
that challenge.” She is a well-rounded<br />
student who excels in academics and<br />
participates in school activities. She<br />
has been part of the National Honor<br />
Society Induction Committee, on the<br />
<strong>Seton</strong> Council for three years, and<br />
a delegate for the Anti-Defamation<br />
League. “I want to do well in school for<br />
myself,” Annette says about her work<br />
ethic at <strong>Seton</strong>. Her hard work has<br />
paid off as she has been awarded a full<br />
scholarship to UMBC from the Center<br />
of Women & Information Technology<br />
program. She loves working on cars<br />
and hopes to one day build ships<br />
for the Navy or work for NASA as a<br />
mechanical engineer.<br />
“<strong>Seton</strong> really develops us into women,<br />
especially since it is an all-girls<br />
school.” Annette continues, “I don’t<br />
think I would have gotten the same<br />
education, or become who I am today,<br />
if it wasn’t for <strong>Seton</strong>.” Her experiences<br />
here have taught her to see the detailed<br />
beauty in all people and creation.<br />
Furthermore, <strong>Seton</strong> has helped her to<br />
develop a relationship with God. She<br />
says, “I would not be where I am today<br />
if it wasn’t for Him.”<br />
Diana Acosta was a scholar, vice<br />
president for the National Honor<br />
Society, and a <strong>Seton</strong> Ambassador. On<br />
top of her involvement with<br />
extracurricular activities, she enrolled<br />
in three AP classes in one semester.<br />
Regardless of her work load, Diana still<br />
shined as a very bright student. Then,<br />
on a whim, “just to see if she would get<br />
in,” Diana applied to Harvard. Always<br />
the diligent worker and outstanding<br />
student, there was not one person who<br />
was surprised when she received her<br />
acceptance letter plus a full-ride,<br />
except Diana, “It was a shock to me!”<br />
Diana attributed her motivation to her<br />
family life and spiritual life. She<br />
received so much from her parish, St.<br />
Ambrose, where Diana is currently<br />
the youngest member on the<br />
Parish Council.<br />
There is no doubt that she is ready<br />
for the next challenge in her life. She<br />
credits <strong>Seton</strong>’s rigorous curriculum<br />
as a strong preparation for Harvard.<br />
Spending Friday nights studying<br />
and catching up on sleep instead of<br />
hanging out with friends, Diana’s<br />
maturity and work ethic go far beyond<br />
a normal high school senior.<br />
Scholarships Help <strong>Seton</strong><br />
Fulfill Its Mission<br />
Sister Ellen Marie proudly celebrates the<br />
award of three scholarships this June that help<br />
<strong>Seton</strong> fulfill its mission of service to others and<br />
assistance to those in need. According to Sister<br />
Ellen Marie, “<strong>Seton</strong> is slated to give over $300,000<br />
in scholarship money in school year 2010-2011.<br />
This money is in direct response to the many<br />
requests we have received for financial aid.<br />
When people establish a scholarship in memory<br />
of someone that they love or admire, or to<br />
honor leadership characteristics of students,<br />
they are opening a door for a family to receive<br />
the help that they need.” <strong>Seton</strong> has made the<br />
commitment to help students whose families<br />
are homeless, or who suffer job loss, terminal<br />
illness, or permanent disability. Scholarships are<br />
an immeasurable means of support to those<br />
students whose talents and abilities are endless,<br />
but whose resources are often extremely limited.<br />
From Grief to Grace:<br />
The Lucille Woodburn<br />
Senior Scholarship<br />
Dale (Doc) Woodburn has been a familiar face<br />
at <strong>Seton</strong> since 1988 when he joined the faculty<br />
as a math teacher. Those who knew Doc also<br />
knew his wife, Lucille, who was a faithful friend<br />
of <strong>Seton</strong>.<br />
Lucille and Dale met when they were both<br />
young teachers in Prince George’s County. The<br />
time they shared as friends was changed when<br />
Dale left teaching to serve in The Korean War.<br />
Lucille refused to let distance end their friendship.<br />
Instead, she wrote daily, often sending care<br />
packages of cookies with her letters.<br />
When Dale returned home, the couple resumed<br />
their relationship: this time, officially dating.<br />
Dale’s first thought of losing Lucille occurred<br />
when Lucille announced that she had been<br />
thinking about attending an educational<br />
conference in California and then moving there<br />
to teach. That night, Dale asked Lucille for her<br />
hand in marriage, and she accepted. Whether<br />
Lucille was really considering California, or just<br />
trying to move Dale along was a constant joke<br />
in their marriage with Lucille’s answer always the<br />
same: “You’ll never know.” But Dale did know,<br />
and Lucille knew that he knew because they<br />
enjoyed 41 years of a loving marriage and from<br />
that love, they raised three children.<br />
In 1995, Doc’s fear of losing Lucille was no longer<br />
the joke of a young married couple, but the<br />
heartache of a happily married man. Lucille<br />
was killed in an auto accident as they drove to<br />
the airport for a trip to see their children. Doc<br />
remembers, “For two or three years, I did nothing,<br />
but grieve. I loved Lucille so much.” Slowly his<br />
grief brought him a new grace: the desire to start<br />
The Lucille Woodburn Scholarship at <strong>Elizabeth</strong><br />
<strong>Seton</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. Doc continues, “I wanted to<br />
award a senior with $1000 scholarship, a senior<br />
who emulated my wife’s goodness, kindness,<br />
wholesomeness, and friendliness. The student<br />
would not have to earn the highest GPA, but she<br />
would have to get along with people every day<br />
and show them that she loves them.”<br />
Past recipients of this award include our own<br />
faculty member, Courtney Hunt. Courtney<br />
makes it easy for us to visualize what Doc saw<br />
in Lucille.<br />
This year’s recipient is Kerri Moore, a student<br />
chosen by Doc and confirmed by Mrs. Pasterick<br />
and the guidance office. Thank you, Kerri, for<br />
your every day example of goodness. Thank<br />
you, Beverly and Tim, for raising such a wonderful<br />
young woman. Every day, Kerri, you have made<br />
it easier for one man’s heart to move from grief<br />
to grace.<br />

She expects to work hard at Harvard,<br />
but also to take some time out to enjoy<br />
life and have fun! This fall, while she<br />
is settling into Harvard as a freshman,<br />
Diana is looking forward to discovering<br />
herself and exploring the humanities<br />
as a potential major. As far as she is<br />
concerned, the sky is the limit! “All of<br />
my dreams have culminated in that<br />
Harvard acceptance letter,” says Diana.<br />
Rest assured that Diana will continue<br />
to remain strong academically. One<br />
<strong>Seton</strong> lesson that she will take with her<br />
is her deep-seated faith.<br />
“Physics is the study of everything.”<br />
Olivia Smarr said that her greatest<br />
experience at <strong>Elizabeth</strong> <strong>Seton</strong> <strong>High</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> happened in Honors Physics<br />
class when they launched selfassembled<br />
rockets, “It was nice to see<br />
something that we created as a team<br />
actually take off.”<br />
Olivia Smarr loves science and math,<br />
“They answer the questions why and<br />
how.” This summer will be her third<br />
internship at NASA Goddard Space<br />
Flight Center where she has studied<br />
exoplanets and “forming stars” called<br />
protostars. Then she packs her bags<br />
for Stanford University where she will<br />
major in physics and begin her journey<br />
toward a Ph.D. She wants to work for<br />
NASA doing astrophysics research and<br />
helping the United States understand<br />
the importance of NASA’s work. “One<br />
of my goals is to work in the White<br />
House Office of Science, Technology<br />
and Policy, and, hopefully, to be an<br />
administrator of NASA. I want to help<br />
people understand how important<br />
science is to our country.” Olivia has<br />
already made her presence known at<br />
the White House where she has been<br />
invited to present awards to astronauts<br />
upon their completion of a mission,<br />
and to teach middle school children<br />
about astronomy.<br />
As Olivia prepares to travel across<br />
the country to begin her new life at<br />
Stanford University, she feels ready<br />
and prepared to take her next steps.<br />
Her time at <strong>Seton</strong> has taught her<br />
that excellent grades are a must, but<br />
acquiring a firm grasp of academic<br />
concepts and life’s lesson is more<br />
important. She says, “In my last four<br />
years here, I’ve worked hard not to<br />
just get the grade, but to gain the<br />
knowledge. It’s about learning as much<br />
as you can to get to where you need<br />
to be.” Olivia stands out as a leader<br />
among her classmate at <strong>Seton</strong>. She has<br />
been the president of the Onyx Club,<br />
the founding member of the Liturgical<br />
Dancers, and she has accomplished so<br />
much at a young age. Olivia, like many<br />
other graduates who once walked the<br />
halls, has built her legacy at <strong>Seton</strong><br />
<strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. She wants everyone to<br />
remember that success is about sharing<br />
your gifts, talents, and knowledge with<br />
the world around you, “The gifts you<br />
have are to be shared and to help inspire<br />
other people.”<br />
PARENT ORGANIZATION<br />
PROMOTES SETON’S<br />
MISSION OF SERVICE WITH<br />
SCHOLARSHIPS<br />
The officers of the <strong>Elizabeth</strong> <strong>Seton</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
Parent Organization began a scholarship<br />
program this year to recognize students whose<br />
community service demonstrates their living of<br />
<strong>Seton</strong>’s mission:<br />
We educate young women in the Spirit of<br />
St. <strong>Elizabeth</strong> Ann <strong>Seton</strong> and St. Vincent de<br />
Paul stressing Catholic values, academic<br />
excellence, and service to those in need.<br />
The officers decided that they would raise<br />
$1000 for this scholarship through their annual<br />
spaghetti dinner. The hard work of the officers<br />
coupled with the support of <strong>Seton</strong> families<br />
enabled the Parent Organization to give not<br />
one, but two $1000 scholarships, to two <strong>Seton</strong><br />
students whose records of service were simply<br />
outstanding.<br />
After soliciting applications in April, the Parent<br />
Organization awarded these scholarships at<br />
the Baccalaureate Mass to Taylor LaChance<br />
and Megan Rozanski, both members of the<br />
senior class.<br />
According to Linda Gast, President of the<br />
Parent Organization, both recipients were<br />
chosen because of the breadth and depth of<br />
their service, and the strength of their essays<br />
and recommendation letters. Taylor has<br />
devoted over 100 hours alone to St. Jerome’s<br />
Café, which provides food for the poor and<br />
needy at St. Jerome’s Catholic Church, her<br />
home parish. In addition to volunteering at<br />
the Café since she was in elementary school,<br />
Taylor recently renovated the Café’s pantry,<br />
developed an instruction manual for team<br />
leaders, and created a recipe booklet for<br />
the cooks. For these efforts, she also received<br />
the highest award given by the Girl Scouts,<br />
her Gold Award. Taylor also likes to serve by<br />
cleaning up the environment, helping with<br />
the Special Olympics, and volunteering at the<br />
National Zoo, just to name a few of her good<br />
deeds. Of her service, Taylor said, “I know that<br />
even though it is not always expressed, the<br />
people I serve appreciate what I do. This is the<br />
only thanks I need; anything else is a bonus.”<br />
Likewise, Megan was selected because of her<br />
evident commitment to service. With over 200<br />
documented hours of service over just the past<br />
four years, some of her volunteer service has<br />
included distributing food for SOME (So Others<br />
Might Eat), assisting with Vacation Bible <strong>School</strong>,<br />
raising funds for her parish and serving as a<br />
Confirmation retreat leader. In addition, for the<br />
past four years she has been a teacher’s aide<br />
to the 4th grade Sunday school class at Holy<br />
Family Catholic Church, her home parish. She<br />
loves working with all the children in the class,<br />
but two children, who have mental disabilities,<br />
have made an indelible impression. “By helping<br />
out in this class, I have learned patience, and<br />
I have learned that my calling in life is to be a<br />
special education teacher because of the joy I<br />
have when I work with these children.”<br />
When asked if the Parent Organization hoped<br />
to offer these scholarships again next year,<br />
Linda responded, “The St. <strong>Elizabeth</strong> Ann<br />
<strong>Seton</strong> Scholarship for Service was established<br />
not as a one-time award, but as a long term<br />
commitment by the Parent Organization to<br />
honor <strong>Seton</strong> students who exemplify the values<br />
of and commitment to a life of service. We<br />
anticipate at least one award each year for<br />
many, many years to come!”<br />
The <strong>Seton</strong> Community salutes Taylor LaChance<br />
and Megan Rozanski because they have shown<br />
that the poor are our brothers and sisters whom<br />
we are called to serve with cordiality, respect,<br />
and devotion. St. Vincent de Paul once said,<br />
“If a person goes to serve the poor ten times a<br />
day, then ten times a day that person will find<br />
God.” Likewise St. <strong>Elizabeth</strong> Ann <strong>Seton</strong> said,<br />
“Every good work we do is a grain of seed for<br />
eternal life.” Taylor and Megan remind us all of<br />
the importance of finding God in our service to<br />
others, and of living life today in hope of the joy<br />
of heaven.<br />

P e r s e v e r a n c e Pav e s t h e W ay . . .<br />
Hard work, dedication,<br />
heart, determination, and<br />
teamwork! On May 14th and<br />
15th <strong>Elizabeth</strong> <strong>Seton</strong>’s Varsity Outdoor<br />
Track Team brought home their fourth<br />
consecutive WCAC Championship<br />
win. The air was filled with nerves and<br />
excitement as the track team marched<br />
onward to victory. They saw the sky<br />
as the limit! With seven seniors moving<br />
on to college, the big question in the<br />
WCAC was left unanswered, “Will<br />
<strong>Seton</strong> remains one of the WCAC’s<br />
strongest competitor?” <strong>Seton</strong>’s star<br />
track team answered that question<br />
with a powerful “YES!” as they pulled<br />
off the WCAC victory. Winning the<br />
championship proved that they will<br />
continue to be a powerhouse, and<br />
Head coach Omar Wilkins agrees, “The<br />
future remains bright!”<br />
Everyone remembers the double<br />
whammy blizzard that pounded the<br />
Metro Area. How could you forget?<br />
People were stranded at home because<br />
the roads were too treacherous to<br />
travel. Everything shut down; the<br />
schools, the Federal Government;<br />
even the local stores were closed for<br />
business. The mess left behind by the<br />
storm posed an even bigger dilemma.<br />
Everything was buried under the snow,<br />
including <strong>Seton</strong>’s track. Outdoor track<br />
season was in full swing and their first<br />
meet was quickly approaching. Thanks<br />
to the snowy disruption, their practice<br />
time had been cut short. There was no<br />
definite answer when the track would<br />
be shoveled since roads and parking<br />
lots took precedence. Coach Omar let<br />
the ladies know of the situation, “If you<br />
want to be great, then we need to get<br />
that track clear for practice because we<br />
might not see it in the spring.” The girls<br />
went into action and decided to take<br />
fate into their own hands. They rose<br />
early on a Saturday morning, with their<br />
parents, and gathered their shovels,<br />
snow blowers, and hot chocolate, and<br />
drove to <strong>Seton</strong> where everyone worked<br />
to clear three lanes for practice. Omar<br />
Wilkins praised the team, “It took us<br />
six hours to shovel, but it showed their<br />
dedication, whereas we could have just<br />
stayed home.”<br />
“It’s all about heart and determination!”<br />
Coach Omar and his staff have instilled<br />
into the track team that their school<br />
name alone will not win track meets.<br />
They must put in the time, work, and<br />
the effort as well as have the heart,<br />
in order to be the greatest. The seven<br />
graduating seniors are as follow:<br />
Adenike Pedro, Bianca Pete, Ambrosia<br />
Iwugo, Leah Loftin, Tade Dosunmu,<br />
Joi Johnson, Asha Roper, and Kaitlyn<br />
Richards. They have been excellent<br />
leaders who set the bar for their<br />
teammates on and off the track. This<br />
year’s WCAC Championship was the<br />
true test. Coach Omar decided to give<br />
the underclassmen a chance to shine<br />
and carry the team to victory, and they<br />
pulled it off. With many of the seniors<br />
attending college on a track scholarship,<br />
Coach Omar did not want to potentially<br />
expose them to any risk of injury<br />
and jeopardize their college career.<br />
Therefore, the team came together<br />
and made the necessary adjustments.<br />
At one point in the competition, the<br />
ladies were neck and neck with Bishop<br />
McNamara. Coach Omar gathered his<br />
team for a pep talk. “We have to step<br />
up!” The team rose to the occasion,<br />
and secured a fourth championship for<br />
<strong>Elizabeth</strong> <strong>Seton</strong>. “I wanted to make sure<br />
[the underclassmen] knew that I had<br />
confidence in them,” said Omar. Thus,<br />
as the WCAC trophy sits in the main<br />
lobby of the school, it represents more<br />
than just a victory. It also represents<br />
the track team’s confidence and faith in<br />
their coaches and themselves.<br />
The coaching staff for <strong>Seton</strong>’s Track<br />
Team makes it a priority to help<br />
the seniors obtain a scholarship for<br />
college. Coach Omar believes that, “It<br />
is always a success when you can say<br />
that the majority of your seniors either<br />
received an academic scholarship<br />
or a track scholarship.” The team<br />
has just about reached their goal<br />
with many of the senior track stars<br />
receiving some type of scholarship<br />
money, academic or track. Coach<br />
Omar stresses to his runners, “if you<br />
can get an academic scholarship, do<br />
it, because if you get hurt you will<br />
have something to fall back upon.” At<br />
the end of every season, the coaching<br />
staff prepares the upcoming juniors<br />
for the beginning stages of creating<br />
a college packet to send to their<br />
top three schools, showcasing their<br />
greatest achievements. The focus for<br />
next year will make the ladies even<br />
more marketable to colleges as the<br />
coaching staff grooms them for steeper<br />
competition. Coach Omar hopes<br />
to have the ladies compete on the<br />
Maryland Public <strong>School</strong>s State level,<br />
and even travel outside of the area to<br />
track meets.<br />
Two outstanding seniors, Adenike<br />
“Nike” Pedro and Ambrosia Iwugo,<br />
have been fantastic with pushing the<br />
track team to go beyond their comfort<br />
zone and set the bar high for success.<br />
They have been a part of the track<br />
team for all four years, are nationally<br />
ranked, and both are receiving full<br />
track scholarships to the college of<br />
their choice. In the fall, Adenike will<br />
travel to the University of Ohio, and<br />
Ambrosia will head up to Temple<br />
University in Philadelphia. Without a<br />
doubt, the track team will miss these<br />
two exceptional athletes and leaders.<br />

A T H L E T I C S (continued)<br />
Adenike Pedro<br />
Adenike “Nike” Pedro<br />
Adenike Pedro has many<br />
accomplishments under her belt<br />
such as making 1st team All-Met, and<br />
participating in the Junior Olympics<br />
for two consecutive years. Her<br />
<strong>Elizabeth</strong> <strong>Seton</strong> press release lists her<br />
as a participant in the 55 meter dash,<br />
the 60 meter dash, the 200 meter<br />
dash, the long jump, and the 4x200<br />
meter relay, for the indoor season.<br />
Her outdoor events are the 100 meter<br />
dash, the 200 meter dash, the long<br />
jump, and the 4x100 meter relay.<br />
Adenike is the “big sister” who leads<br />
the pack. “She’s always encouraging<br />
her teammates to be better,” says<br />
Coach Omar. Her teammates believe<br />
in her, and she believes in them,<br />
and that is their formula for success.<br />
Adenike’s work ethic is astonishing.<br />
She strives to be the best not only on<br />
the field, but also, in the classroom.<br />
Coach Omar reminisces, “I’m going to<br />
miss that about her. The team really<br />
looks up to her because she never<br />
complains; she just keeps pushing.”<br />
It was heart-wrenching for her<br />
teammates when Adenike suffered an<br />
injury which caused her to miss some<br />
competitions in the middle of the<br />
season. However, it was her temporary<br />
absence and her encouragement from<br />
the sidelines that facilitated her team’s<br />
belief in their own athletic ability<br />
and each other. Coach Omar told<br />
her, “If you can get your teammates<br />
to work harder, then we’ll have no<br />
problem winning the championship.”<br />
As Adenike healed, she became eager<br />
to return to running, especially with<br />
the WCAC Championship quickly<br />
approaching. After evaluating her<br />
healing progress, the coaching staff,<br />
along with Adenike and her parents,<br />
decided that she could participate in<br />
the long jump. Adenike put 110%<br />
into making sure she obtained the<br />
maximum points to help her team<br />
win. Her triumphant performance in<br />
the long jump secured the trophy’s<br />
return to <strong>Elizabeth</strong> <strong>Seton</strong>.<br />
Adenike’s strive for excellence is<br />
intense. Furthermore, her heart<br />
and compassion make her a true<br />
champion. “Whatever you ask her to<br />
do…she will do it, and will give you<br />
all that she has,” says Coach Omar.<br />
Adenike Pedro will be remembered<br />
for her motivation and compassion to<br />
her teammates, coaches, and teachers.<br />
Ambrosia Iwugo<br />
Ambrosia’s dedication to her team and<br />
the coaching staff is inspirational. Her<br />
press release from <strong>Elizabeth</strong> <strong>Seton</strong><br />
credits her as a four year track team<br />
member who “specializes in the 400m<br />
dash and a member of the 4x200<br />
relay team, which is recognized by<br />
The Washington Post as one of the<br />
top relay teams.” Her outstanding<br />
performance on the track, coupled<br />
with her tough character and her<br />
“you practice like you play” attitude<br />
has earned her state recognition, and<br />
established her as a driving force<br />
behind the team’s success. Leading by<br />
example, she motivates her team to do<br />
their best in competitions and during<br />
practices. When the team’s energy<br />
level is low, Coach Omar can count on<br />
Ambrosia to provide encouragement.<br />
“She puts the challenge on them<br />
saying, the only way we are going to<br />
get better is to step it up.” As a powerhouse<br />
athlete and strong motivator,<br />
she has been a valuable part of<br />
the team.<br />
The track team credits all of their<br />
seniors as great leaders, not only to<br />
the team, but also to their coaches.<br />
Coach Omar and his staff are grateful<br />
for their time, their effort, and for the<br />
energy that they put into the program.<br />
The seniors have done a great job with<br />
building the team bond and shaping<br />
the remaining squad into future<br />
leaders who will carry on the winning<br />
tradition. Their hard work was evident<br />
in the way the underclassmen stepped<br />
up in the WCAC Championship. “I<br />
saw a lot of hungry people out there,<br />
and it brought a tear to my eye to<br />
see their desire to win,” concludes<br />
Coach Omar.<br />
Ambrosia Iwugo<br />

Bringing Home the Gold<br />
“I guard Alyssa Albanese who<br />
think I’m going to throwup!”,<br />
thought Junior point<br />
was overwhelmed to see the massive<br />
crowd gathered in the Verizon Center<br />
anxiously waiting to watch her team<br />
battle it out with H.D. Woodson for the<br />
City Title Championship. After five long<br />
years, it was <strong>Seton</strong>’s time to shine, and<br />
take back the City Title trophy that once<br />
was a fixture in the school’s trophy case.<br />
Coach Candy Cage, Class of ’81, whose<br />
dual role as <strong>Seton</strong>’s Athletic Director and<br />
part of <strong>Seton</strong>’s basketball coaching staff<br />
comforted Alyssa, “Go do what you have<br />
to do, and let’s go win this City Title!”<br />
<strong>Elizabeth</strong> <strong>Seton</strong>’s victory over H.D.<br />
Woodson was a triumphant moment.<br />
“Woodson traditionally would walk all<br />
over their opponent and win games by<br />
50 or 60 points,” says Coach Candy.<br />
Going home with a City Title trophy<br />
was a great way for the 2010 varsity<br />
squad to end their season. Coming off<br />
of a winning record of 26-8, Coach<br />
Candy said, “This victory gives the<br />
team bragging rights and has definitely<br />
generated some talk.” The crowd was<br />
4,000 people deep, many of whom were<br />
alumnae, family, friends, and outsiders<br />
wanting to see the “clash of the<br />
two titans”.<br />
The days leading up to the City Title<br />
game offered the team very little time<br />
for rest. Woodson had two weeks to<br />
prepare, whereas <strong>Seton</strong> was jammed<br />
pack with regular season games,<br />
on top of invitationals, and outside<br />
tournaments. Like other schools in<br />
the area, the blizzards from this past<br />
winter forced the WCAC to postpone<br />
many games until the end of the season.<br />
“We had completed quarterfinals<br />
and semifinals, had won the WCAC<br />
Championship, had taken the road to<br />
Cumberland where we played three<br />
more games, and had come right back<br />
that Sunday morning for the City Title<br />
game.”<br />
Coach Candy along with head coach<br />
Jasmina “Jazz” Perazic had just enough<br />
time to walk the girls through some<br />
practice drills and talk through a few<br />
strategic plays for the big game. They<br />
focused their attention on playing smart,<br />
on strong offense, and on shutting down<br />
Woodson’s key player. “We didn’t think<br />
they had a lot else around them, so we<br />
just talked about not worrying so much<br />
about their key player. We can still<br />
win!”, said Cage. The vibe in the air was<br />
true excitement and nerves. The girls<br />
were running on pure adrenaline. There<br />
was no turning back at that point, and<br />
so the game began. It was a one point<br />
game in the first half, and then <strong>Seton</strong> got<br />
their second wind and took off. They<br />
conquered H.D. Woodson 51-30.<br />
Winning the City Title has restored<br />
confidence and brought back pride<br />
to <strong>Seton</strong> basketball. In the late 90’s to<br />
the early 2000’s, the varsity basketball<br />
squad was considered a powerhouse<br />
in the WCAC; however, around 2005<br />
the program took a nose dive. Candy<br />
Cage set out to fix that by completely<br />
reconstructing the program, hiring<br />
new coaches and effectively recruiting<br />
players. Coach Candy dreamed of<br />
bringing back the good days when <strong>Seton</strong><br />
ruled the WCAC, and when she received<br />
tremendous support from the faculty and<br />
staff. “It starts from the top: you have to<br />
have the support of your president, and<br />
the administration because you have to be<br />
able to go to them and say, ‘Hey, I need this<br />
in order to make a great program’. They<br />
are very supportive of <strong>Seton</strong> Athletics,”<br />
attests Cage.<br />
Candy then hired two-time Olympian<br />
and former WNBA player, Jazz Perazic,<br />
and together they began to beat the<br />
pavement in search of prospective 8th<br />
graders. They discovered Julia Weatherly,<br />
Tyaunna Marshall, Alexis Martin, and<br />
Janelle Murphy, who transferred to <strong>Seton</strong><br />
from Eleanor Roosevelt. Cage convinced<br />
them because of her vision to rebuild<br />
<strong>Seton</strong>’s Basketball Empire. “I sat them in<br />
the library and told them, ‘you have to<br />
trust me;’ it’s a great package. We have an<br />
unbelievable school. We’ll prepare you<br />
for college. Take a chance!” said Cage.<br />
On March 14th, these four ladies, who<br />
are now seniors, brought home the City<br />
Title trophy. They bought into Coach<br />
Candy’s and Jazz’s promises to rebuild<br />
the basketball program, and to prepare<br />
them for college. Each lady received a<br />
basketball scholarship to the school of<br />
her choice.<br />
Coach Candy thanks her coaching staff<br />
and the players for a stellar season. Over<br />
the past five years, she has worked hard<br />
to bring quality basketball back to <strong>Seton</strong>,<br />
and she could not have done it without<br />
the support of <strong>Seton</strong>’s administration<br />
and the players’ hard work. With the<br />
City Title trophy on <strong>Seton</strong> grounds, and<br />
another set of girls ready to fill in where<br />
the seniors left off, <strong>Seton</strong>’s basketball<br />
team is reclaiming their role as WCAC’s<br />
toughest competition..<br />

It has been an exhilarating year<br />
here at <strong>Seton</strong>, and the marketing<br />
department has had no shortage of<br />
news to share with the community.<br />
Last year our brand new state of the<br />
art website was launched: helping<br />
to more effectively communicate<br />
with all of our community members<br />
from current students and families<br />
to prospective roadrunners as well<br />
as alumnae and our own faculty and<br />
staff. This year we have continued to<br />
grow and expand by incorporating<br />
our new social media campaign into<br />
<strong>Seton</strong>’s website. With almost 1,000<br />
fans on The Official <strong>Elizabeth</strong> <strong>Seton</strong><br />
Facebook Page, hundreds of visitors<br />
to our YouTube Channel, and dozens<br />
of followers on our newest endeavor,<br />
Twitter, there is no doubt that our<br />
girls’ accomplishments are being<br />
celebrated by our entire community.<br />
Every day <strong>Seton</strong>’s fans and supporters<br />
receive updates about all the student<br />
achievements, scholarship awards, and<br />
exciting sports scores as well as watch<br />
video clips of our fine arts concerts<br />
and hear about inspiring community<br />
service stories. It has been an amazingly<br />
successful year for our students, staff,<br />
faculty and our administration, and it<br />
has been truly exciting to share this<br />
news with everyone who is connected<br />
to <strong>Seton</strong>’s legacy.<br />
The marketing department’s<br />
publication, <strong>Seton</strong> Express, has<br />
received astounding support and<br />
contributions from all of its 3,000<br />
subscribers! The publication highlights<br />
<strong>Seton</strong> news on a monthly basis.<br />
Readers enjoy learning about what<br />
our students, teachers and coaches<br />
have been up to, and what they have<br />
in the works. If you have not already<br />
subscribed, please do so today; it’s the<br />
best way to keep up to date with all of<br />
our success stories.<br />
Other goals achieved this year include<br />
redesigning <strong>Seton</strong>’s official school seal<br />
and roadrunner mascot, and using<br />
these new logos to visually brand<br />
<strong>Seton</strong>’s name and face in all of our print<br />
and electronic advertising efforts. We<br />
are also preparing to redesign <strong>Seton</strong>’s<br />
admissions materials for the upcoming<br />
class of 2014. Furthermore, we are<br />
also in constant contact with the press<br />
to make sure that the local news media<br />
is spreading the word about all that<br />
<strong>Seton</strong> is and continues to be every day.<br />
The marketing department would<br />
like to thank everyone who has<br />
helped contribute to the success of<br />
our students and our community this<br />
school year. Your accomplishments<br />
and efforts are what make our job so<br />
exciting and inspiring every single<br />
day. The pulse of <strong>Seton</strong> has never been<br />
stronger, and we are confident that<br />
the next school year will bring with<br />
it more remarkable accomplishments<br />
from the incoming class of 2014.<br />
A D M I S S I O N S<br />
When talking about admissions, more<br />
than anything, people always want<br />
to know about “the numbers.” <strong>Seton</strong><br />
has been fortunate to enjoy incredible<br />
growth and healthy enrollment numbers<br />
during a time when the economy has<br />
declined and other schools have been<br />
forced to close their doors. In just the<br />
past eight years, <strong>Seton</strong>’s population<br />
has grown by 25%, with an increase<br />
of 15% in the last four years alone.<br />
<strong>Seton</strong> currently enrolls 648 talented,<br />
intelligent, and compassionate young<br />
women who attend classes in both the<br />
school’s main building and the recently<br />
added Brooks Center. Despite the<br />
burgeoning population, <strong>Seton</strong> maintains<br />
its close-knit, community feeling. Class<br />
sizes are actually lower than they<br />
were eight years ago, so that every<br />
student receives the same personal<br />
attention and encouragement, <strong>Seton</strong>’s<br />
constant hallmarks.<br />
The newly accepted and enrolled<br />
incoming freshmen will become <strong>Seton</strong>’s<br />
51st graduating class, and this group<br />
of future alumnae shows remarkable<br />
potential already. Numbering at 160,<br />
their accomplishments in the classroom,<br />
on the athletic fields and courts, with their<br />
musical groups, and in the community<br />
at large are numerous and impressive.<br />
Furthermore, these new students will be<br />
continuing a family tradition of attending<br />
<strong>Seton</strong>—20 of them have older sisters<br />
who are alumnae and 11 have mothers<br />
and grandmothers who graduated;<br />
that speaks volumes of <strong>Seton</strong>’s legacy<br />
of excellence. As <strong>Seton</strong> embarks on its<br />
second half century, the promise evident<br />
in the class of 2014 inspires confidence in<br />
the future of the school.<br />
The Admissions Office shares in this<br />
hopeful feeling. After eleven years of<br />
working with incoming students and<br />
seven years as Director of Admissions,<br />
Dawn Schiavone ’92 is leaving her post<br />
in the very capable hands of a fellow<br />
alumna, Melissa Davey ’99, who has<br />
been teaching at <strong>Seton</strong> for the past<br />
three years. Part-time Admissions Officer,<br />
Diane Zellers ’04, will become full-time<br />
in the fall and will be assisting Melissa as<br />
she assumes her new duties as Director<br />
of Admissions. Excited about working<br />
with prospective students and families,<br />
Melissa looks forward to putting her<br />
own stamp on the admissions’ process,<br />
including the shadowing program, Open<br />
House, and the application procedures.<br />
Being a graduate, she knows first-hand<br />
about the value of a <strong>Seton</strong> education, so<br />
she should have no difficulty in spreading<br />
the word about the school to the young<br />
women who will comprise <strong>Elizabeth</strong><br />
<strong>Seton</strong>’s graduating class of 2015.<br />

There are many exciting changes<br />
happening around <strong>Seton</strong>’s campus: a<br />
new President this year, the year of<br />
the Alumnae, a graduating class that<br />
is truly remarkable is so many ways…<br />
but really understands the meaning<br />
of philanthropy and giving back to<br />
their school. They established a fund<br />
for a student in need in order to help<br />
them with books for the school year.<br />
In regard to Advancement, there<br />
are many changes on the horizon.<br />
Our name for one; it is now <strong>Seton</strong><br />
Advancement. Our office location has<br />
changed; we are now located where<br />
the business office use to be. Please<br />
stop by and visit us! We also have<br />
new staff: Kelli Horton, Executive<br />
Director, whose daughter, Mackenzi,<br />
will be a sophomore; Maureen<br />
McCart, Executive Manager, who has<br />
been with <strong>Seton</strong> for seven years and<br />
Erica Corbin, Associate Director, and<br />
a Class of 2000 graduate.<br />
As some of you may know, we<br />
changed our April Auction to a<br />
Gala in which we had a tremendous<br />
turnout: with over 500 attendees.<br />
We netted $30,000. We were thrilled<br />
to see many of our ‘old’ friends<br />
whom we had not seen in a long<br />
time. Next year, we hope to have the<br />
same success!<br />
Our Annual Fund, which is typically<br />
mailed in October, is going to be<br />
moved to the spring and will be<br />
called the <strong>Seton</strong> Fund. It will be<br />
setup as a pledge program. Pledging<br />
is an easy way to give. It will be<br />
set up with 10 payments. After an<br />
initial payment, there will be nine<br />
additional payments.<br />
On November 13 we are having a<br />
Spiritual, Stewardship, & Sisterhood<br />
R e t r e a t …<br />
please Save<br />
the Date.<br />
More details<br />
to follow in<br />
the upcoming<br />
m o n t h s . We<br />
h o p e t o s e e<br />
you there.<br />
In May, many of you received a<br />
brochure, More than Mere Money.<br />
To date we have only raised $1,735.<br />
This appeal is to help with tuition<br />
assistance. If you have not given<br />
to it yet, please consider a gift…<br />
many of our young women need<br />
your assistance.<br />
Lastly, as you can see the news<br />
letter is no longer a newsletter. It is<br />
a magazine that will be published<br />
twice a year. It will include exciting<br />
success stories of alumnae, up-todate<br />
and exciting news about our<br />
current students, and plenty of news<br />
about our entire community.<br />
We would love to hear from YOU, our<br />
alumnae! We want to hear about any<br />
and all successes you have enjoyed<br />
in your professional and personal<br />
life! We’re looking for news about<br />
new marriages, new babies, new<br />
promotions, new business ventures,<br />
and new careers! Please let us know<br />
what you have been up to so that we<br />
can share your new good news with<br />
our community.<br />
In the fall, on our web-site, we will<br />
be selling alumnae apparel. Be on the<br />
look-out for it!<br />
We want to thank you for your<br />
continuous support, and we hope to<br />
see you at our events!<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
Sankofa is a West African proverb and<br />
symbol that roughly translates in English to<br />
“go back and take.” The most common<br />
symbol of Sankofa is that of a bird with its<br />
head turned backward taking an egg off<br />
its back. It symbolizes one taking from the<br />
past what is good, and bringing it into the<br />
present to make positive progress through<br />
the compassionate use of knowledge.<br />
It is my honor to write to you as the new<br />
Executive Director of <strong>Seton</strong> Advancement at<br />
<strong>Elizabeth</strong> <strong>Seton</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. I am humbled<br />
by the immeasurable good carried out by so<br />
many: parents, alumnae, faculty members,<br />
students and the community as a whole.<br />
To borrow an image from the West African<br />
proverb, our 50-year history and the legacy<br />
of St. <strong>Elizabeth</strong> Ann <strong>Seton</strong>, and the Daughters<br />
of Charity is no small egg.<br />
I am thrilled about my new position and the<br />
changes that will take place within <strong>Seton</strong><br />
Advancement, S Magazine being one of<br />
them. And please know your continuous<br />
support is vital for the survival of ESHS. We<br />
truly cannot do it without you!<br />
That being said, it is with enthusiasm and a<br />
large dose of humility, that I join with all of<br />
you in raising funds to help sustain <strong>Seton</strong> into<br />
the future and our next 50 years!<br />
Sincerely yours,<br />
Kelli A. Horton<br />
Executive Director<br />
<strong>Seton</strong> Advancement<br />

Let’s continue to celebrate the “Year of<br />
the Alumnae”! Sister Ellen Marie, <strong>Seton</strong>’s<br />
new president, has given this title to 2010<br />
to welcome the return of the alumnae<br />
to <strong>Seton</strong>. Sister invites all our graduates<br />
to walk down the “butterfly staircase”,<br />
to tour the new Brooks Center (new<br />
athletic and fine arts building) and<br />
to reconnect with the sisterly spirit of<br />
<strong>Seton</strong>. For 50 years, <strong>Elizabeth</strong> <strong>Seton</strong><br />
<strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> has nurtured her ladies into<br />
confident, independent, and bright<br />
young women. She has provided a<br />
foundation for building hopes and<br />
dreams, and best of all, she has given<br />
her ladies a strong sisterhood that is<br />
bonded together by the Light to Know<br />
and the Grace to Do.<br />
The “Year of the Alumnae” will focus on<br />
reconnecting the alumnae with <strong>Seton</strong><br />
and each other. Life has definitely<br />
changed since earlier days here,<br />
(and boy weren’t those good days!).<br />
We want to hear all about life after<br />
graduation. This is your place to share<br />
your news with your sisters, find long lost<br />
friends, and network with each other.<br />
Welcome home <strong>Seton</strong> Sisters!!!<br />

Class of 1963<br />
On Sunday, April 11, thirteen members<br />
of <strong>Seton</strong>’s first graduating class gathered<br />
at the Marco Polo Restaurant in Vienna,<br />
Virginia, for their annual get-together.<br />
Members of this lively bevy of “Real<br />
Seniors” have been meeting since 2003.<br />
Their yearly luncheon is usually attended<br />
by a core group of 15 or 20. This year,<br />
the ladies were delighted to welcome<br />
Dorothy McBride, an alumna whom<br />
many had not seen for a half century!<br />
Also, welcomed was Rita Lappin, a<br />
member of the graduating class of 1964.<br />
Reminiscences bubbled forth—of<br />
classes; youthful pranks, teachers,<br />
boyfriends; “The Mighty Mo;” husbands<br />
(past and present), careers, children; and<br />
grandchildren. For 4 ½ hours, the room<br />
rang with laughter, equaling the decibels<br />
generated in the <strong>Seton</strong> cafeteria 50 years<br />
ago. Though all the ladies will be eligible<br />
for Medicare this year, for an afternoon,<br />
they were all 18 again.<br />
