LIVING UP TO OUR LEGACY<br />
Throughout the <strong>2016</strong>-<strong>2017</strong> school year, we celebrated with<br />
great delight the 50th anniversary of <strong>Sandia</strong> <strong>Prep</strong>. We started<br />
with a wonderful flag-raising ceremony that was much the<br />
same as the manner in which this school first opened in<br />
1966. We were grateful to have our school founder, Barbara<br />
Young Simms, her husband Dr. Albert G. Simms II, and<br />
Sandía School original alumna, Ellen Ann Lembke Ryan ’41,<br />
join us for the ceremony. These three wonderful people were<br />
instrumental in the founding of this school, and we owe them<br />
a huge debt of gratitude.<br />
There were several other celebrations that took<br />
place during the year. These events gave us the opportunity<br />
to reflect on the work of so many people in the past. Their<br />
hard work and many sacrifices make it possible for so many<br />
young people to benefit from the experience of being part<br />
of this extraordinary learning community.<br />
My, what incredible experiences our students have<br />
enjoyed this past year!<br />
We are proud of our students and faculty for the<br />
many accomplishments achieved throughout this milestone<br />
year. In the classrooms, on the courts and fields of play,<br />
on the stage, and out in the community, our students<br />
demonstrated themselves to be worthy of great praise.<br />
They brought back to the school academic honors, State<br />
Championships, theater and music awards, and the<br />
appreciation and respect of those they worked with and<br />
competed against. Our students and our faculty are, indeed,<br />
living up to the high standards that were established by our<br />
founders and all those who came before us.<br />
It is because of all of you who continue to support<br />
the School with your time, talents, and treasures that we are<br />
able to provide our students with the quality programming<br />
and the possibilities to stretch themselves and reach for their<br />
full potential. It is because of your generosity that we can<br />
achieve our mission of providing a joyful learning experience<br />
that ensures “remarkable opportunities for intellectual<br />
and personal growth within a challenging and balanced<br />
program.” We are so grateful.<br />
As we look forward to the next 50 years, we are<br />
resolute in our commitment to make great strides in the work<br />
that we do here at <strong>Sandia</strong> <strong>Prep</strong>. It is a rapidly changing world<br />
into which our children will travel, and we must do all that we<br />
can to provide them with the knowledge, critical and creative<br />
thinking skills, and interpersonal skills that will ensure their<br />
success as contributing citizens of this nation and of the<br />
global village.<br />
As part of our commitment, we are undertaking<br />
an effort to increase our endowment over the next five and<br />
ten years. As I am sure you understand, the function of the<br />
endowment is many fold, but the most important function<br />
is that it secures our future. When <strong>Sandia</strong> <strong>Prep</strong> celebrates its<br />
centennial anniversary, I hope that those who are here will<br />
look back and consider all the work we have done to build<br />
this school. I hope they, too, will live up to the legacy of<br />
generosity.<br />
Bill Sinfield, Head of School<br />

“I can’t imagine a<br />
better place to spend<br />
my formative years.”<br />
Uyen-Phuong Nguyen ’15<br />
Teaching is in his blood. Coming from a family of teachers and administrators, it’s not<br />
surprising Mr. Brian Tregembo found his home in front of a classroom. “I get to spend my<br />
day talking about books and words and the way they make people feel; I feel pretty lucky to<br />
have a gig like this.” It’s not only the subject matter that Mr. Tregembo says inspires him. “I<br />
spend every day surrounded by energetic, idealistic, passionate people -- and I mean both<br />
the kids and the faculty. Where else does one get to spend so much time with people who<br />
are constantly dreaming about how to make the world a better place?”<br />
Mr. Tregembo’s love for teaching was first sparked by his love for coaching. He says he’s been<br />
coaching for a very long time, and he believes coaching and teaching go hand in hand. Mr.<br />
Tregembo has taught full time at <strong>Prep</strong> since 2003, but started as the Boys C-Team Basketball<br />
coach in 2000.<br />
Mr. Tregembo is a New Mexico native and has spent his entire life here, with the exception<br />
of his four years in college. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Creative Writing with a minor in<br />
English from Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin.<br />
In May 2019, Uyen-Phuong Nguyen ’15 will graduate with<br />
a degree in Computer Science and Economics from Brown<br />
University.<br />
Known as U.P. to friends, the proud Sundevil was active with<br />
<strong>Sandia</strong> <strong>Prep</strong>’s Outdoor Leadership Program, so when she read<br />
about Brown University’s BOLT (Brown Outdoor Leadership<br />
Training) program, she happily applied. The ’15 <strong>Prep</strong> grad now<br />
leads the 31-year-old organization which provides leadership,<br />
mentorship, and outdoors exploration for Brown University<br />
students.<br />
It’s evident in the way he teaches and interacts with his students that there is a mutual<br />
admiration and respect. “At the end of each year, I always remind my kids that words and<br />
feelings are going to last a lot longer than anything else they learn at school. The formulas<br />
and the dates might fade over time, but the way we treat each other and communicate with<br />
each other, and the way we make each other feel, will always be a big part of life.”<br />
When she’s not taking classes, U.P. serves as a brand<br />
ambassador for the outdoor company, Merrell. She also enjoys<br />
hiking, running, and training/competing for Brown’s taekwondo<br />
team.<br />
2<br />
U.P. appreciates her time at <strong>Sandia</strong> <strong>Prep</strong> and said her<br />
experience “shaped me into who I am. I can’t imagine a better<br />
place to spend my formative years. The relationships I’ve built<br />
here have lasted well past the final bell that rung at the end<br />
of the Senior Countdown, and the education that I received<br />
has more than prepared me for the midterms and finals that<br />
awaited me at Brown. All I had to do was think of Suding or<br />
Polansky and I knew that they, among others, have given me all<br />
the tools I need to succeed. If I could do well in their classes, I<br />
could do well in college.”
Dean C. Hines ’81 is a scientist at the Space Telescope<br />
Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. He is the<br />
Team Lead for the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI),<br />
which will be launched on the James Webb Space<br />
Telescope in the fall of 2018. The instrument will allow<br />
him and other astronomers to investigate: the very<br />
earliest stars in the universe; how galaxies form and<br />
evolve; how stars and protoplanetary systems are<br />
formed and evolve; and the nature of planets orbiting<br />
other stars as well as those in our solar system.<br />
Dean previously worked at the Space Science Institute<br />
as a Senior Research Scientist; the University of Arizona<br />
as an Assistant Astronomer and Research Associate;<br />
and as an Adjunct Associate Professor of Astronomy<br />
and Physics at the University of New Mexico.<br />
Dean has a Ph.D in Astronomy from The University of<br />
Texas at Austin and a MSc in Physics from the New<br />
Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. When<br />
asked about his <strong>Prep</strong> experience, Dean said, “Science<br />
was always my love, and the teachers at <strong>Sandia</strong> <strong>Prep</strong><br />
were always challenging and encouraging. In 8th<br />
grade, Mel Merit pushed me hard and started me<br />
on my path to college at New Mexico Tech. Paula<br />
Degenhardt, perched atop the back of her old metal<br />
chair, taught me how to integrate piles of facts into<br />
broader connections. And Orel Phillips gave me a<br />
lasting foundation in mathematics. Finally, through his<br />
history classes, Ron Briley taught me the humanity that<br />
all scientists should emulate. These foundations have<br />
all been invaluable in my career as I investigate the<br />
mysteries of the universe.”<br />
“These foundations have all been invaluable in my career as I investigate the mysteries of the Universe.”<br />

Kelly Schiabor Barrett ’05 is a PhD level molecular biologist who took an interesting job more<br />
than a year ago. Kelly is a Quality Analyst at Ballast Point Brewing & Spirits in San Diego. “Craft<br />
brewing is like a big science experiment. Creating our product requires the precise combination<br />
of many ingredients across multiple steps. Our lab is filled with tools you would expect to see in a<br />
biotech laboratory. We are collecting mountains of data each day to help brewery operations run<br />
smoothly. We also use this data to help the company innovate and expand. It’s been great working<br />
for a growing company that invests in scientists like me.”<br />
Kelly has a PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of California, Berkeley; graduated Cum<br />
Laude from Duke University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Economics<br />
with a Certificate in Genome Science; and studied Competitive Strategy and Game Theory at<br />
The London School of Economics and Political Science.<br />

“I hold a<br />
special place<br />
in my heart<br />
and attribute a<br />
portion of my<br />
personal and<br />
professional<br />
successes<br />
to my prep<br />
experience.”<br />
Alex Gerber ’99<br />
Alex Gerber ’99 began working in commercial real estate<br />
while he was a junior at Southern Methodist University.<br />
“Post 9/11, the job market in DFW was not great, so I<br />
wanted to make sure I had a leg up on a career before<br />
finishing school.”<br />
After SMU, Alex developed more than three million square<br />
feet of shopping centers in Texas and Oklahoma. In 2009,<br />
he co-founded Cobalt Real Estate Services, LLC and acts as<br />
the COO of Cobalt with offices in DFW, Austin, San Antonio,<br />
and Houston. He also serves as the chairman of the board<br />
of BBGB Commercial Real Estate which manages and owns<br />
commercial real estate throughout Texas. Alex continues to<br />
have business ties to home, providing consulting services<br />
to Albuquerque based Titan Development for their Texas<br />
assets and serves as President for TST Realty LLC.<br />
Alex and his wife Tierney, live in San Antonio with their<br />
two boys, Holden, 4 and Preston, 2. In addition to Alex<br />
coaching his son’s tee ball team, the Gerber family enjoys<br />
running, swimming, biking, skiing, hunting, and fishing. Alex<br />
competed in the <strong>2016</strong> Ironman U.S. Championships and<br />
plans to compete again in April. He was recently accepted<br />
to become a USAT Level 1 Certified Triathlon Coach and will<br />
provide free coaching to wounded warriors and/or former<br />
military. He also qualified for the Olympic Distance Triathlon<br />
Nationals and will compete in Nebraska this summer.<br />
Our ’99 grad values his <strong>Prep</strong> experience and recently made<br />
his first gift to <strong>Sandia</strong> <strong>Prep</strong>’s <strong>Annual</strong> Fund. “I hold a special<br />
place in my heart and attribute a portion of my personal<br />
and professional successes to my <strong>Prep</strong> experience. I valued<br />
the curriculum, exposure, diversity, structure, and the <strong>Prep</strong><br />
“family.” It is with great pleasure that I contribute to the<br />
fund in hopes it can impact a student similarly. My boys will<br />
attend a private school in San Antonio with similar values,<br />
and as a parent I strive to provide them with the best<br />
opportunities possible. Having been at <strong>Prep</strong>, my standards<br />
are high, and it is difficult to find a comparable school.”<br />
It’s no surprise that Ms. Sarah Wilson lists these as her favorite hobbies:<br />
being outside, hiking, camping, cross-country skiing, gardening, and<br />
traveling to different places. She has been a staple of <strong>Sandia</strong> <strong>Prep</strong>’s Outdoor<br />
Leadership Program and,<br />
of course, an integral<br />
part of the science and<br />
geology curriculum.<br />
“I am a fortunate person<br />
because I live what I teach.<br />
Through many summer<br />
courses, connections with<br />
professors at UNM, and<br />
my own travels I have<br />
experienced first-hand<br />
many of the topics I cover<br />
in my geology classes.”<br />
Students in Ms. Wilson’s<br />
classes are often out<br />
in the field in order to<br />
experience what they are<br />
learning. She feels it is<br />
one of the best parts of<br />
teaching. “Watching a<br />
student finally put all the<br />
pieces together and have an understanding of a concept is always a moment<br />
to cherish as a teacher. Being a lifelong learner is also a huge part of being a<br />
passionate teacher.”<br />
Ms. Wilson earned her undergraduate degree at the University of New<br />
Mexico and worked on her master’s degree at the New Mexico School of<br />
Mining and Engineering. She also spent many summers taking courses in<br />
different areas of science, most of which were geology focused with many of<br />
hours of field work.<br />
Ms. Wilson first came to <strong>Prep</strong> as a parent; her son Bryan graduated from <strong>Prep</strong><br />
in 2009. We are thankful she decided to become part of the science faculty<br />
and continually share her passion for geology with our students. She has<br />
spent countless hours with students inside and outside the classroom and<br />
says some of her best <strong>Prep</strong> memories are being out in the Ojito Wilderness<br />
with her ninth-grade students “traveling through geologic time.”<br />

endowment<br />
The mission of <strong>Sandia</strong> <strong>Prep</strong>’s endowment is to support the people, programs,<br />
and activities of the school in perpetuity. Over the years, growth of the<br />
endowment through investment return and charitable giving has enabled the<br />
school to build faculty excellence, launch new academic programs, provide<br />
tuition assistance and support a wide range of important needs.<br />
The minimum gift to establish an endowment is $25,000.<br />
In <strong>2016</strong>-<strong>2017</strong> two new endowments were established to support student<br />
research and outdoor leadership.<br />
Odyssey Scholars Program<br />
Intrigued by the notion that a curious and industrious student can take a deeper<br />
look at a lingering passion, <strong>Sandia</strong> <strong>Prep</strong> grandparents Stuart and Jane Wilson<br />
endowed the School’s new Odyssey Scholars Program. This program gives<br />
students some time and space to look deeply into a topic or an experience<br />
that holds their interest, possibly their future. Student scholars who are chosen<br />
through an application process will make connections globally with experts<br />
in their field of interest. Our goal is to raise a minimum of $100,000 for this<br />
program endowment, and the Wilsons’ initial gift of $30,000 is a fantastic<br />
beginning to this effort.<br />
Outdoor Leadership Program Yurt Endowment<br />
Doctors Paul and Marilyn Duncan, parents of alumni Lisa ’98 and Patrick ’01,<br />
and active Camping Associate parents in their own right, have made it possible<br />
for the Outdoor Leadership Program to sponsor an annual yurt trip for senior<br />
Camping Associates. It was Paul who suggested in 1996 that we try using the<br />
yurts located up near Cumbres Pass, Colorado as a special winter trip for our<br />
CA’s. The yurts became so popular that the OLP faculty created a five day Senior<br />
CA Yurt trip. In all this time, the Duncan family has not only made the needed<br />
reservations for the yurts but has also paid for the use of them. The family’s deep<br />
commitment to <strong>Sandia</strong> <strong>Prep</strong>’s unique traditions and programs have allowed<br />
many senior CA’s to benefit from this unique experience.<br />
In keeping with their desire to see future generations enjoy the OLP yurt trips,<br />
Paul and Marilyn generously contributed a leadership gift $15,000 to establish<br />
an endowment that will fund the annual rental of the yurts. Grateful alumni,<br />
parents, and parents of alumni collectively contributed an additional $12,075 to<br />
bring the fund balance to $27,075.<br />
