A MESSAGE FROM
OUR HEAD OF SCHOOL

Dear parents, alumni, grandparents,
and friends of Sandia Prep,
Let me start by telling you
how much I appreciate your
support of Sandia Preparatory
School. The 2017-2018 school
year was the first year of our
second half-century of serving
students in Albuquerque.
We could not do this work if
not for the gracious generosity of all of you who
have given you time, talents, and – especially –
treasures.
The task of educating young people has become
more complex over the years, and the demands
on schools and teachers have increased. As
such, the resources necessary to provide a safe,
engaging, and challenging education for our
children must also increase. If we are to continue
to provide our students with meaningful, relevant
educational experiences, we must always be
looking forward and anticipating the trends and
changes that will shape the future.
Our first priority is the safety of our campus
community. As such, during the 2017-2018 school
year, we focused on campus security and student
safety. We engaged in training for our faculty
and staff, our students, and our security team; we
installed security equipment, including gates and
cameras; and we initiated a program called Sandy
Hook Promise Anonymous Reporting System,
where students who are concerned for the physical
and/or emotional health of a peer can make an
anonymous report to ensure that support and help
are provided.
In our classrooms, we introduced several new
programs, including Engineering, Computer
Programming II, Mechatronics, and Heritage
Spanish. Our Odyssey Scholars Program
challenges students to pursue in-depth topics
about which they are passionate. On our stage,
we continue to produce some of the finest middle
and upper school productions in the country. On
our courts and fields, our student-athletes are
competing with joyful tenacity, and we are taking
home the trophies. In our community, our students
participate in worthy service projects. Sandia Prep
is the first school in New Mexico to adopt the
Harvard Graduate School of Education’s program,
Making Kindness Common. As well, our service
groups Helping Hands, GreenDevils, National
Honor Society, and Refugee Alliance have done
works of good for our local community.
All of these wonderful developments are made
possible by your support of Sandia Prep. When
you gift the School with your time, talents, and
treasures, not only are you providing irreplaceable
opportunities for our students, but you are
modeling behavior for our young people that
shows them that service and generosity are
qualities that make the world a better place.
I thank you for making us stronger.
Sincerely,
Bill Sinfield, Head of School

KEVIN WADE ’09
Kevin Wade ’09 leads the ABQ office of GriffinWink
Advertising and is in charge of client relations, campaign
planning, and overall strategic growth of the market.
“Albuquerque is a passionately creative place with a
thriving business community. We are on the cusp of
something special in this city, culturally and economically,
and I am excited to be part of it!”
Kevin has a BA in Electronic Media and Communication,
as well as a MA in Media and Communication from Texas
Tech University. “One of the most valuable lessons I
learned at Sandia Prep was the importance of embracing
the things that make you unique, the ideas that set you
apart, and the passions that inspire you. These are the
things that Prep fosters in students in order to prepare
them for college and the world ahead, and it’s this
attention to the development of the individual that sees
its alumni working and thriving in so many exciting areas.”
FUNDING BOOSTS DIGITAL MEDIA
& COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM
Students enrolled in Sandia Prep’s Digital Media & Communications Program (DMC)
now have access to some of the most current media and communications technology
used in the television and movie industries.
Sandia Prep received a $100,000 gift from Stan E. and Jennifer Hubbard to fund
several new technologies in the program. Their contribution made it possible to
purchase 42 iMac computers, two iMac Pro computers, and a multi-camera production
system for the school’s broadcasting program.
From traditional reporting, writing and photography, to computer design and
animation, DMC faculty create and teach courses that allow students to explore the
capabilities of professional tools and platforms. For the 2018-2019 school year,
38% of all high school students are enrolled in one or more DMC courses.
“In today’s world, kids are more digitally fluent than ever before.
To stand out in a digital future, however, Sandia Prep’s critically
thinking students must have the opportunity for structured,
hands-on learning with state-of-the-art facilities.” - Stan Hubbard

“This new technology is a tremendous tool for teaching students hands-on skills in
television production, many of which are typically taught at the college level,” notes
Tony Schoepke, chair of the Digital & Media Communications Department.

MAJOR RENOVATION
OF THEATER
School Announces The Frank and Dolores Hines Stage
The renovation, made possible with a $105,000 gift from Dee Hines and the
Frank and Dolores Hines Family Fund through the Albuquerque Community
Foundation, was announced in January 2018. The project, which was
completed this fall, included a total redesign of the sound and lighting space,
replacement of all theater seats, and new paint and carpet. In October 2018,
The Frank and Dolores Hines Stage was dedicated at a reception for Dee.
“As an integral arm of our performing arts program, the theater is an
important venue that provides our students and the community with
opportunities to experience many aspects of the performing arts,” concluded
Bill Sinfield, Head of School. “We are incredibly appreciative of this gift,
which promises to greatly improve the experience our guests will have at the
theater while proudly honoring the generosity of Dee Hines and the memory
of her late husband Frank.”
Mandie shared that her Senior
Experience at Prep is what led to
her first paying gig. She said it also
gave her the confidence to follow
her dreams. “Because Prep supports
student-led exploration, I learned
how to recognize my own interests,
how to develop and pursue them, and
how to find the mentors and support
I need to achieve my goals.” She
added, “I was taught the fundamentals
of independent learning and selfstructured
success while my own drive
and ambitions were bolstered by the
Prep culture.”

Dee has been a
major benefactor of
Sandia Prep’s Dance
and Performing Arts
programs for more
than 10 years. Dee, a
former school teacher
turned businesswoman,
has long been a patron
of the arts here in
Albuquerque. When
she heard that the
school had plans to
renovate the theater,
it wasn’t long before
she notified the school
that she wanted to be
part of this project in a
significant way.
“I have had a lifelong love of education, and this project is a perfect way for
me to combine that passion with my lifelong love of the theater,” explained
Dee. “I also wanted to make a gift during my lifetime so I can watch students
enjoy the benefits from the remodeled theater.”
[ ALUMNA ]
In 1997 Dee and her late husband Frank set up a donor advised fund
through the Albuquerque Community Foundation, which has allowed Dee
to contribute to various charitable organizations to improve the quality
of life for many here in New Mexico. Dee was recognized by the New
Mexico Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals as the 2016
Outstanding Leader in Philanthropy.

ANDREW
CORDOVA ’11
Following his graduation from Yale University,
Andrew Cordova ’11 moved to San Francisco to
conduct research at the Institute for Innovation
Law, focusing on intellectual property and
regulation theory. After publishing several law
review articles, Andrew accepted a job as a
Financial Crimes Analyst with Stripe, an online
payment processing company. Stripe provides
the technical, fraud prevention, and banking
infrastructure millions of companies use to start,
run, and scale their businesses. Some of their larger
clients include Amazon, Facebook, Lyft, and Target.
“I’ve always appreciated that Prep taught me how
to think: What does the information tell us? What
questions can I ask? How does it all fit together?”
Andrew said, adding that, “The skills I learned at
Prep were the foundation for my success in college,
and they continue to benefit me professionally,
both in research and in tech.”
Andrew stays in close contact with several of
his Prep friends, talking to some of them on a
nearly daily basis. And, he reaches out to some
of his former teachers when he is back visiting
Albuquerque. He continues to enjoy camping --- a
love he first picked up as a Camping Associate with
the Outdoor Leadership Program.
The ’11 grad regularly gives to Sandia Prep’s
Annual Fund. “I can definitively say that Prep was
one of best things that has ever happened to me,”
said Andrew, “so it’s an obvious choice for me
to continue to stay connected to the school and
support its programs in whatever way that I can.”
Jack Curran, a legendary Varsity
baseball and basketball coach at
Archbishop Molloy High School in
New York City, may have passed
away in 2013, but his coaching and
life philosophy lives on through a
scholarship fund established in his
name.
It’s impossible to know how many
high school players were mentored,
coached or steered to college by
Curran. He was the concierge who
never asked for a tip.
He was about helping others, serving
the games he loved, making sure that
every player’s role was appreciated,
every person valued.
“One thing he did better than any
coach I’ve ever been around is he
helped more kids that didn’t play
for him than did play for him,’’
said former St. John’s coach Norm
Roberts, who got his start in the
profession when Curran hired him to
coach freshmen at Molloy.
“I’m talking about athletic
scholarships, academic scholarships.
You’d walk into his office and he
would be on the phone with a
college coach somewhere talking
about a kid he had seen or a kid he
had met.’’
“He wanted his players to speak
properly, he wanted them to behave
properly, he wanted them to be
successful,’’ said Molloy grad and
University of Miami coach Jim
Larrañaga. “And he knew how to do
that.’’
Under his tutelage, Curran produced
numerous NBA stars including the
aforementioned Kevin Joyce ’69 and
Brian Winters ’70, Kenny Smith ’83,
Kenny Anderson ’89, Robert Werdan
’88 and Sundiata Gaines ’04. He also
developed MLB players including the
St. Louis Cardinals’ Ed Kurpiel ’71
and current New York Mets outfielder
Mike Baxter ’02, and acted as a true
mentor to many standout college
athletes such as Harvard’s Ralph
James ’87 and Louisville’s Russ Smith
’09.
Grants from The Coach Jack Curran
Scholarship Fund support Sandia
Prep’s financial aid program for
students who demonstrate strong
character and the values that Coach
Curran taught his players.
The Coach Jack Curran Scholarship
Fund gives to Sandia Prep and a
number of other schools, educational
organizations, child focused
organizations, medical research and
cancer charities or organizations in
developed and devolving worlds.

reprinted for this article.

RUQUAYA QURAISHI ’12
Ruquaya Quraishi ’12 is a fourth-year pharmacy student at
the University of New Mexico’s College of Pharmacy. “I love
what I do and I want to care for people by being the most
approachable type of healthcare professional.” Ruquaya leads
the group, Operation Self-Care, a community outreach program
within the American Pharmacist Association Academy of Student
Pharmacists. This program aims to educate the public on the
importance of leading a healthy lifestyle.
The PharmD candidate said she values her Prep experience and
spent a day on campus last fall teaching Prep’s middle school
students and teachers about the long-term health impacts of
poor diets and lack of exercise through interactive presentations.
Ruquaya said, “I enjoyed coming back to campus. Prep has
greatly helped me get to where I am today because of the
excellent teachers and curriculum.”
[ ALUMNA ]
NEAL HOLTSCHULTE
At the urging of his wife and Sandia Prep alumna Marie Milne
’06, Neal Holtschulte joined the faculty at Sandia Prep in 2013
to teach math and computer programming.
“What I appreciate most about teaching at Prep is that the
faculty are friendly and supportive, and genuinely invested in
improving themselves as teachers all the time.”
The Marysville, Ohio native received his undergraduate degree
in Math from Williams College, and following a brief teaching
internship at the Culver Academies in Culver, Indiana, and a
five year stint as a data analyst at Klein Steel in Rochester, New
York, he felt the tug to get back to the classroom. Holtschulte
chose to pursue a master’s degree in computer science at the
University of New Mexico, and soon entered the Computer
Science Ph.D. program to support his eventual goal of
teaching at the college level. As he puts it, “various events
conspired” which led Holtschulte to complete his master’s
degree and consider a teaching position at Sandia Prep.
Computer programming was first offered as a class about five
years prior to Holtschulte’s arrival. Today, the curriculum has
evolved and is quite similar to what is taught in a college level
introductory programming course. Holtschulte also teaches
three sections of Calculus.
When asked about the importance of computer programming
in today’s world, Holtschulte’s answer is surprising. “It is a
useful exercise because it teaches important life skills, primarily:
patience and organization.” He says, “Obviously there are
good jobs available to experienced programmers, but the most
important thing in my mind is learning to follow through with a
complicated plan from start to finish.”
Mr. Holtschulte isn’t all math and computer science. He has a
creative side that few others know about. An avid writer, he has
created a blog at hastewriting.wordpress.com, and recently had
a story accepted for publication in the next issue of Amazing
Stories, a national science fiction magazine.
[ FACULTY ]
Mr. Holtschulte also enjoys running in the north valley daily with
his beloved pitbull Ayasha.

JOAN GOESSL
With 21+ years of teaching experience, faculty
favorite Joan Goessl appreciates Sandia Prep’s
“commitment to building a solid academic
foundation while also working with students
on an individual basis.” She appreciates the
school’s “sense of community and its attention
to the importance of integrity and openmindedness.”
Ms. Goessl’s journalism/writing career began
as a writer for her high school newspaper, the
Neshotah News, in a small town in northeastern
Wisconsin. While at the University of Wisconsin-
Milwaukee, she received dual degrees in

graduation, Ms. Goessl worked as a journalist
for The Associated Press for 10 years. In 1996,
she took a teaching position at Eldorado High
School before transferring to Sandia Prep four
years later. “There’s something absolutely
gratifying about helping young people grow
and develop in their march toward becoming
deep readers, articulate writers, sophisticated
thinkers, and, importantly, global citizens with
expansive world views. I enjoy watching the
wheels turn.”

spare time, she enjoys biking,
skiing, and traveling with her
family. Mandy has fond memories
of her Prep experience and has
kept in touch with several of her
classmates. “It’s been a while,
but I’ll never forget seeing all the
beach sand in the snack bar that
was brought for a school dance or
the gigantic tug of war in the field
on Lion & Unicorn Day.”
While working with The Associated Press and
raising her three children, Prep grads Ali ’05;
Mary Kate ’07; and Luke ’09; with her late
husband, Mark Holm, Ms. Goessl received a
Bachelor of Arts in secondary education from
the College of Santa Fe and a Masters of
Education from the University of New Mexico.
Ms. Goessl teaches tenth and twelfth-grade
English classes and has served as the adviser
to the Sandia Prep Times since arriving at
Prep in 2000. In her spare time, Ms. Goessl
enjoys reading, cooking, spending time with
her friends and family, working out at the gym,
going to movies, traveling, and taking Eddie,
her feisty labradoodle, on mountain hikes.
[ FACULTY ]
NAVIGATING CAMPUS JUST GOT EASIER
Foundation Awards Grant for ADA Features
This fall, the Sandia Prep campus
underwent several important changes
to make navigating the school’s 30-
acre campus easier for people with
disabilities.
The Hubbard Broadcasting Foundation
awarded a grant of $100,000 to add
accessible features for faculty, visitors,
and especially students who use the campus on a daily basis.
“Our newer buildings and common areas currently meet the minimum ADA
requirements, however, with day to day use, we have identified a need to add
accessible features for people with disabilities,” explains Bill Sinfield, Head of
School. “Sundevil Plaza, the area outside the Russell Student Center, has a wide set
of stairs that requires disabled or injured students and others to take a longer route
to the interior of campus so they can access an existing ramp,” Sinfield noted. “The
exceptional generosity of the Hubbard Broadcasting Foundation made it possible to
remove a section of stairs and replace it with an additional ramp.”
9
Other ADA updates addressed through this grant include the installation of ADA
door opener technology, and accessible entrances to the school’s baseball and
softball fields.

STUDENTS INNOVATE THROUGH ENGINEERING
Silvian Foundation Funds Technology for Program
Engineering students wait for their
computer generated design to be
delivered to a high-end laser cutter.
Students immerse themselves in
the engineering design process
using computers purchased with
grant funds.
In August 2017, Sandia Prep formally introduced
a four-year engineering program to students
in grades 8-12. The curriculum is designed to
provide an introduction to the design, fabrication
and testing processes followed by all engineers,
and incorporates computer science and math to
assigned projects. The genesis for the program was
the creation of Sandia Prep’s Autonomous Creative
Environment (SPACE), a makerspace environment
for middle school students.
To prepare for supplemental engineering courses,
the school renovated a classroom into a space
that mimics the workflow of a real manufacturing
operation that includes several different areas for
individual and collaborative work.
The Slomo and Cindy Silvian Foundation provided
a $25,000 grant to equip the new lab space with
essential hardware needed to carry out projects,
including a laser cutter that uses a high powered
laser through programmed cutting instructions to
build prototypes and 3D models.
Arren Buck ’04, who teaches all engineering
courses, has been pleased with how quickly
students have taken to various assignments.
“From designing autonomous robotic cars able to
navigate a maze, to 3D printing a chassis with the
printers purchased with grant funds, my students
have dramatically improved their knowledge of
programming, design software, and the integration
of programming and electronic outputs.” The
grant also made it possible to purchase a 3-D
carving machine for students to learn how to create
trebuchets (catapult systems).
“Mr. and Mrs. Silvian - who were extremely
generous and charitable during their lifetimes -
each had a tremendous love of learning and of
children,” says Daniel S. Komansky, president of
the foundation. “We think their foundation’s gift to
Sandia Prep’s engineering program is an excellent
way to further the foundation’s goal of helping
young people learn. It is also a wonderful tribute
to the memory of Slomo and Cindy Silvian.”
DR. TERESA
BALCOMB ’70
After 39 years working as an orthopedic
hand surgeon, Dr. Teresa Balcomb ’70
retired in January 2018. Our ’70 grad
has continued to stay active by teaching
and working with medical missions.
Dr. Balcomb was one of Sandia School’s
first graduates. Following her days at
532 Osuna Road, she attended Purdue
University, majoring in Sociology before
moving back to Albuquerque to attend
the University of New Mexico’s School
of Medicine. In 1979, Dr. Balcomb was
the first woman to be accepted into
an orthopedic residency in Fort Worth,
Texas. She followed the program with a
Hand Surgery Fellowship at the Joseph
Boyes Foundation in Los Angeles.
Dr. Balcomb and her husband, Dr. James
Tryon have two children, Elyce and
Connor, two Prep graduates. Dr. Elyce
Tryon Sheehan ’01 is a Pulmonary and
Critical Care Fellow at the University of
New Mexico Hospital, and Dr. Connor
Tryon ’03 is the Academic Hospitalist/
Associate Program Director of Internal
Medicine Residency at Mountain View
Regional Medical Center in Las Cruces.
Dr. Balcomb treasured her Prep
experience and shared, “Some people
like the quote, ‘Everything I needed to
know I learned in kindergarten’ but I
really think it should read,
‘Everything I needed to know
I learned at Sandia Prep.’
I learned how to study, to write, and
to think in my years there. Prep was
rigorous academically and supportive
emotionally during my formative years.
I doubt I would have had my wonderful
career in medicine had it not been
for the not always gentle ‘nudging’
of Paul Saunders, Jim O’Leary, Paula
Degenhardt, Orel Phillips, Ina Miller,
and Peggy Smith.”

As with Homer's Odysseus,
our Odyssey Scholars set
out on an epic journey of
learning and discovery
developed around an area of
study about which
they are passionate.
Odyssey Scholars challenge
themselves academically,
intellectually, and creatively
by designing a two-year
course of study that will
culminate in a major
public presentation.
This program combines the
elements of independent
study, Senior Experience,
and research (capstone)
projects.
The first cohort of
Odyssey Scholars will
graduate in May 2019.

forecasting. Emma is now writing a
business plan for an ethical fashion
company.

Entrepreneurial
Studies Program
Designed as a capstone course for 12th-grade students,
the Entrepreneurial Studies course helps develop an
entrepreneurial mindset and provides students an
opportunity to work with Albuquerque entrepreneurs,
who present real-world business problems outlined in
a scope of work, complete with hard deliverables and
deadlines. The Entrepreneurial Studies Program was
launched in August 2018 to promote design thinking
and innovation at Sandia Prep.
DareDevil Design
At the middle school level, DareDevil Design is a
workshop environment for 6th and 7th grade where
student teams engage in creative, critical, and
constructive processes to develop products, ideas,
and projects to help communities.
Tennis Courts

SIMMS
SOCIETY
Named in honor of the founder of our school, Barbara Young
Simms, as well as the founder of the original Sandía School
for girls, Ruth Hanna McCormick Simms, the Simms Society
recognizes everyone who makes a deferred gift to Sandia Prep.
Any donor who provides written confirmation of a deferred gift will
become a member of the Simms Society. Deferred gifts include
bequests, charitable trusts, life insurance policies, retirement plan
assets, and charitable gift annuities.

Former Chair of the Sandia Prep Board of Trustees Pat Allen and his
wife Kim became the newest members of the Simms Society in
2017-2018, naming Sandia Prep as a beneficiary of their estate.
Their daughter Audrey ’14 is a recent graduate of Sandia Diego State
University where she majored in Communications, with a minor in
English. Audrey is now working in San Diego for Outfront Media,
the leading outdoor media company in North America, with a major
presence in the top 25 U.S. markets, plus prime holdings in Canada.
“Kim and I believe that growing the endowment is the best way
to assure the long-term financial health of Prep -- so that for
generations to come, Prep continues to provide its students with
an invaluable educational and personal experience. Prep has
meant so much to our family, and we can think of no better or
more gratifying way to give back.”
