Dear Alums and Friends of ACND,
The front and back cover of our Fall 2011 publication bring
history into the here and now. Two ACND sophomores share
the delight and enthusiasm of a group of Notre Dame
Academy and Archbishop Curley High School alums.
The students of the ‘60’s had gathered to celebrate the
privilege of being the first secondary school students in
Florida to embrace the gift of diversity.
We welcome as new alums the graduates of 2011, celebrate
a three generation Curley family, and acknowledge the
participation and gifts of alums and friends. We are blest.
The calendar for the year suggests ways of engaging in the
life of the school community.
Enjoy and please plan how you will be participating this year
in the life giving experience of ACND.

Curley ’54, Curley ’77, Curley ’79, ACND ’83, ACND ’11
United In Three Generations of ACND pride
Jennifer Orlandi ’11 represents the family as the third
genera5on ACND graduate. High School allowed Jenny an
opportunity to overcome her shyness. She recently received the
Miami Shores Chamber of Commerce ‘Outstanding Student
Award.’ She played so&ball for four years, cross-country and
soccer for three years, and in her senior year was captain of both
the soccer and so&ball teams. Jenny received many
academic awards and par5cipated in community service
projects at St. Rose, Miami Jewish Health Systems, and ACND
such as HungerFest.
How many people in the ACND family would be touched by
a single memory if just the gradua5on year was men5oned?
Through photos and yearbooks, the memories are sealed
and then by way of a phone call, dinner party, or class
reunion, old memories are carried forward and transformed into
new ones.
Each member of the
family emphasized that
ACND helped reinforce
their faith and values
and Eugene Senior,
in speaking about this
subject, stated: “I feel
Catholic school is important because, as Catholic
parents, we introduce
our children (pre-school)
to the basics of our faith
in simple form and by
example. Upon entering
the Catholic school
system, their learning
of the Faith becomes
more structured in an
academic manner by
assis5ng in substan5ating the principles of our beliefs, and the student being instructed
to prac5ce the lessons learned in their daily lives.”
Eugene Yagle Senior ‘54 is a re5red VP for City Na5onal Bank
of Florida and his wife Joanne (now deceased) worked in the
library and a6endance office at Notre Dame Academy and at
ACND following the merger. He can easily recall his school days.
His favorite teacher was Fr. Louis Robert and he remembers
how he and 13 other members of the school choir travelled to
St. Augus5ne for the ordina5on of Priests (the Archdiocese of
Miami had yet to be formed.) He says, “I was in the first
gradua5ng class - the school opened in September,1953.
The students came from all parts of the County, and the school
was staffed by Parish Priests, and several "Lay" people, total
of 11, plus Fr. George Cummings, Principal. We had 39 students
in the senior class.”
And choosing ACND was the only choice for the Orlandi
family. “Although there were only a handful [of St. Rose
graduates] that decided to a6end Curley, we told Jenny that
Curley is a very good school with a lot of history and it is in our
own back yard. We also told her that she would feel more at
home if she went there rather than a big school,” said Mary Beth
who felt that a smaller school offered more opportuni5es.
She concluded, “Why drive to Broward when you have an
excellent school right here?”
Eugene Yagle Junior ’77 is the Director of Photography for
the Tampa/St. Petersburg CBS television sta5on. He recalls doing
radio announcements on WQAM about Curley sports, game
schedules and school ac5vi5es. One year, he and two other students made a movie that documented a school year of ac5vi5es, sports, club, and other daily school life. Produc5on costs
were covered by students who donated $1.00 and in
return would be guaranteed an appearance in the movie.
Whether it’s telling others that ACND is the school of choice,
volunteering your 5me at a variety of school and alumni
events, or making a dona5on, you are needed ‘here and now.’
As you look through this magazine, please consider how you
can help secure the
legacy of memories
and give us a call.
Andrew Yagle ’79 is a re5red Marine Sergeant/Major and is
currently an instructor for the Marine Corps ROTC program in
South Carolina. He remembers his favorite teacher Mr.
Guimento and valued the guidance and mentorship.
He enjoyed playing footba ll and baseball.
Mary Orlandi ’83 (nee Yagle) is married to Mark Orlandi ’83
and works for the FBI Miami Division. She recalls that her
gradua5ng class was over 200 students. Notre Dame Academy
offered many sports that included water polo and swimming,
and clubs such as Key, Girls Service, Pep, Art and Interna5onal.
She remembers how the homecoming commi6ee constructed
floats for the Homecoming Parade.

ways to understand the concept. The academy students baked
tarts while learning about the art of French cuisine with deli

On April 2nd, El Nuevo
Herald reporter Melissa
Sanchez wrote a feature
ar5cle covering Judge
Cecilia Altonaga’s (NDA
’80) visit to ACND for the
annual Red Mass and Law
Symposium. Judge Altonaga told the reporter that
Notre Dame Academy
taught her the meaning
of tolerance. She states,
“This was a place that exCourtesy Photo: Alexia Fodere,
El Nuevo Herald
hibited all these different
racial/ethnic groups coexis5ng, working together, overcoming
differences,” said Altonaga. “There is this percep5on that all
Catholic girls’ schools are eli5st or homogenous or they exclude
people. This was quite the opposite, one of the most diverse
groups of young women working together.”
Speech and Debate Team Captain Taylor Altidor swept the
Oral and Interpreta5on division placing first in all four rounds
at the Florida Forensic League’s (FFL) ‘Art Deco’ Regional
Tournament Championship.
The Edmund Rice Community raised over $4,000.00 at the 15th
annual HungerFest and packed and distributed over 3,200
lunches to Miami’s homeless. The group broke last year’s record
by about 400 more lunches. Monies raised benefi6ed: St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank at St. Patrick’s, the Housing
Assistance Center, the Salvation Army, the Miami Rescue
Mission and the Women’s House, Camillus House, and Safe
Space. Monies raised are sent to Abrigot, St. Louis du Nord in
the Diocese of Port De Paix, Haiti, ACND’s sister school.
David Marcillo ‘03, author of “Terror to All Who Belong
To This World” returned to interact with the current
honors students of his former English teacher, Brother John
Corcoran. The project began last December with students
studying, discussion and wri5ng about each of the works. The
project ended recently with students producing similar-themed
but original poems, art work, or short-video based on Hiroshima,
Dresden, Bhopal, Chernobyl, 9/11, or any similar human-caused
event.
Nine new members were inducted into the ACND Na5onal
Honor Society. In addition, fifteen students were accepted
into the English Honor Society and eight into the Spanish Honor
Society. The ceremony began with gree5ngs in six languages:
English, Creole, Tagalot, Italian, French, and Spanish and a musical presenta5on by the Italian Saxophone Quartet added musical elegance to the pres5gious moment. The inductees are:
Celetsyn Angot, Megan Romanik, Khalil Saieh, Nicholas Salow,
Kevin Granda, Jamie Mejia, Melissa Metcalf, Ena Urbina,
Lachae Smith.
David Monaco, History, Government, and Economics Teacher
was selected to represent ACND and the State of Florida in the
2011 Presiden5al Academy for American History and Civics. The
Academy leads teachers in a a careful study of three turning
points in American history: The American Revolu5on, the Civil
War, and the Civil Rights Movement. Mr. Monaco stated, “Being
able to be in the places where these three pivotal eras in our
country’s forma5on took place as well as be able to speak with
world renowned historians and some of our leaders gives you a
perspec5ve that can be shared by our students,” says Monaco.

family of Chris5an Brothers, Curley
Notre Dame faculty, friends, and
students who par5cipate in the
Edmund Rice Community. In the
ini5al forma5on process of the
Edmund Rice Chris5an Brothers, a
brother must renew his vows each year for six years before
becoming eligible to profess his final vows. This year marked the
beginning of Brother Ford’s sixth year under vows.
Students enrolled in the Summer Knights Performing Arts Camp
presented ‘Bye Bye Birdie’ in July. The camp was led by Mr. Ray
Lee Johanson, ACND Band Director and Robin Alexander of
Stage Left Productions. “There’s lots of grumbling, but
[the students] also waltz through the corridors humming songs
they’d never have heard. You can’t compare a Charles Strouse
number to what they listen to today,” explains Ms. Alexander
who stresses that students reap great rewards from the
experience. “They get to experience that big things don’t come
from five minutes of effort. It’s team work, it’s discipline, it’s
self-esteem. Win, win, win.” An athle5cs camp, ‘Club Pre-Med,’
and tradi5onal academic summer school are also offered each
year. Registra5on for next summer will begin March, 2012.

“Teaching Artists – A Catholic Tradition”
A showcase of artwork by professional artists teaching in
Archdiocese of Miami elementary and middle schools
Opens September 10, 2011 at 7:00 p.m.
From the mosaics of Byzantium where art
was for the glorification of God and a
means of expressing spiritual realities,
through to the late Renaissance where art
is didactic and theatrical in form such as
Caravaggio’s “The Conversion of St.
Paul,” art and architecture are part of our
Catholic tradition.
Don Clerveaux of St. Mary’s, Miami – Don is a physical educa5on

was first taught art and how to draw by Irene Henshaw at St.
Rose of Lima in Miami Shores. She showed him how to express
himself through art and how relaxing it was.
This exhibit intends to demonstrate the talent of those who
teach about art and the passion and dedica5on that they
inspire. The purpose of this exhibi5on is to showcase the
importance of art within our Catholic school tradi5on and
its power to be used as a teaching tool.
