Our philosophy to concentrate on building minds, bodies, and souls for the Lord has certainly paid dividends. This Annual Report reflects the positive gains in every aspect of school life that Notre Dame Preparatory has accomplished this past year. Last spring, we once again sent all of our graduating seniors on to higher education. These students were accepted into some of the finest colleges and universities across the nation and earned more than $3.4 million in scholarships. Athletically, Notre Dame won eight state championships, and more importantly, our students performed more than 32,000 hours benefitting those less fortunate in the community. Financially, with the help of Carolyn Rock and her Development Department staff, along with the help and support of our parent groups and the Notre Dame community at large, we met or exceeded all of our projected fund-raising goals. It is important to note that because of this consistent support, Notre Dame remains fiscally responsible and is able to look to the future with confidence in our ability to provide for the future of this diocesan high school. In conclusion, once again, our students have shown themselves to be prepared to meet the challenges of the outside world. We have accomplished a great deal this past year, and with the continued support of parents, friends, and benefactors, we will continue to chart a course of constant positive growth for those students who now, and who will in the future, attend Notre Dame Preparatory. Sincerely, David D. Gonsalves Principal notre dame preparatory high school • annual report 2009-10 3 Dear Friends and Families of Notre Dame Preparatory, Notre Dame Preparatory, now in its eighth year, continues its tradition of excellence in every area. I believe that as you read the annual report you will feel a great sense of pride and satisfaction in the well-rounded education our students receive. Notre Dame Preparatory continues to not only send all of our graduates on to higher education, but we send them on to colleges and universities all over the world. The Class of 2010 has great reason to celebrate the more than $3 million dollars in scholarships that were awarded for both academic and athletic achievement. Despite the economic difficulties, the Chairman of our Finance Committee, Peter Morrow, reports that Notre Dame Preparatory continues to enjoy a strong financial position. Thanks to the work of so many people who work to raise money for the school we are able continue to offer our students a high quality education. The efforts of the Mother’s Guild, Booster Club and Development Department have greatly contributed to the strides we have made in continuing to improve the school so that it is the best that it can be. A special thank you to Sister Yolanda Mendoza, the Director of Campus Ministry. Through her guidance, our students continue the legacy of giving back to the community. They have volunteered an astounding 32,000 hours plus of community service to organizations that desperately need our help in this challenging economic climate. My time on the School Advisory Board has now come to an end and I leave the Board knowing that is in very capable hands. My daughters, Bridget and Becca, both graduated from Notre Dame Preparatory and were very well prepared for their college experiences. Notre Dame Preparatory holds a very special place in my heart, and it always will. We can all be very proud of Notre Dame Preparatory as it moves into the future embracing its pledge to instill in our students Reverence, Respect and Responsibility. Sincerely, Beth McDonald President, Notre Dame Preparatory School Board 4 notre dame preparatory high school • annual report 2009-10 A Legacy of Success... At the core of our success is the unwavering belief that an excellent education is built on a foundation of faith and that our students deserve the spiritual, academic, moral, and social support required to prepare them for life. We continued to prove in our eighth year that our students courageously accept the challenge to live a successful and exemplary life by striving to attain their personal best. Our students have achieved the highest honors as evidenced by NDP’s two 2010 National Merit Scholars in addition to those who have earned recognition as National Merit finalists, semifinalists, and commended scholars and National Hispanic Scholars. NDP students have achieved highest honors in the national Word Masters Challenge and at the American Mathematics Contest. Additionally, NDP students have been selected on the basis of their academic records and high moral character to participate in the Phoenix Youth and Education Commission, Valley Teen Leadership, Scottsdale Mayor’s Youth Council, and the National Forum of Defense, Intelligence, Diplomacy, and Medicine. The Class of 2010 was awarded more than $3 million in college scholarships from prestigious universities nationwide. These students were accepted at the finest universities, including Stanford, University of Southern California, Johns Hopkins University, Georgetown University, and Boston College. An outstanding combination of academic achievement and athleticism led to 19 members of the Class of 2010 being awarded college athletic scholarships. Notre Dame’s athletic programs continued to flourish with the many impressive accomplishments of our teams and individual athletes under the direction of the school’s staff of dedicated coaches. The 2009-2010 sports season was outstanding, with talented NDP athletes earning eight team state championship titles. The Boys’ Golf team won its fourth state victory in five years, and the Girls’ Golf team won its third consecutive state 4A-II title. The Girls’ Tennis team took the state title for the fourth year in a row, and the Girls’ Track team captured its first state championship. The Boys’ Varsity Hockey club took home its third state championship in four years, and the NDP Pom and Cheer teams dominated at the state level, with a clean sweep of 4AII titles in Show Cheer, Stunt Cheer, Pom, and Spiritline. NDP athletes also won individual state titles in Swimming, Girls’ Golf, Girls’ Tennis, and Girls’ Track and Field. By providing a strong foundation designed to support spiritual, academic, moral, social, and athletic development, Notre Dame prepares its students to meet challenges and for a lifetime of success.

NDP’s The Seraphim student newspaper won a record 18 awards at the Arizona Interscholastic Press Association’s high school journalism conference in September at ASU. The Seraphim was one of only four papers in the state to receive a General Excellence Award. The newspaper launched a new online edition in the spring of 2010. Graduates of the Class of 2010 now attend prestigious universities. notre dame preparatory high school • annual report 2009-10 5 Dear Friends and Families of Notre Dame Preparatory, Before I address this past year, I would first like to acknowledge the passing of Bill O’Connor. This summer, Bill passed away after a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Bill has generously shared his time and expertise through his work on the Finance Committee over the years. His contributions to the Finance Committee helped shape the sound financial landscape we currently enjoy. His selfless dedication, insights, and sense of humor will be greatly missed. I am pleased to report on another financially successful year for Notre Dame Preparatory. The leadership at NDP is mindful of the challenging economic times and has done an outstanding job of making financial decisions that address both the current and future needs of our students while at the same time maintains the strong financial condition of NDP required for its continued success. Notre Dame continues to sustain itself in meeting the ongoing expenditures required for operating the school, supporting extracurricular activities, and servicing our financial obligations (e.g. principal and interest payments on our debt). This included capital expenditures in excess of $200,000 as we continue to invest in our campus for items such as new servers to improve efficiency and speed of the campus wide IT network, replace sod as well as repair drainage and irrigation infrastructure on the all purpose athletic field, four new “SmartBoards” for the portable classrooms, and upgrades to the sound system in the cafeteria used for school productions. The various organizations within our community did an excellent job of refining events, functions and operations to maximize the positive impact to the NDP community while at the same time focusing on the financial implications of these events. The achievements were the result of the combined efforts of countless individuals both on staff at NDP as well as volunteers who contributed their considerable expertise and time. The 2010 Taste of Excellence Gala and Raffle contributed more than $40,000 to the school, doubling the results from the prior year. The Booster Club’s Eighth Annual Golf Tournament raised more than $70,000, which was also a significant increase over the prior year’s results. The decision to combine two previously successful events into one fantastic event was clearly the right decision as the First Mothers’ Guild Combined Auction and Fashion 6 Show was a major hit by any measure! The event raised more than $120,000, including $90,000 for NDP’s general operating and scholarship funds. This was a wonderful evening for our students, administration, faculty, parents, alumni and other key stakeholders. An additional $30,000 was raised to purchase audio visual equipment for the classrooms and new projectors and screens for the gymnasium and cafeteria, improving the quality of presentations in these venues. The increasing needs of our student body continues to be supported by these various fund-raising activities. Thank you to all of you who have generously supported these efforts through your financial donations as well as contributions of time and expertise. NDP continues to be proactive in planning and addressing the ongoing difficult economic environment. All spending continues to be closely monitored while not sacrificing the education and extracurricular activities of our students. The school has kept tuition increases over the past few years to minimal amounts in order to cover increased costs of certain uncontrollable expenditures. The Administration continues to pursue other avenues of financial aid and is committed to doing everything it can to work with families encountering financial difficulties. I would like to thank new Finance Committee members Colin Markley and Kirk Tushaus as well as long term member D.J. Cole for all their valuable contributions this past year. Their considerable experience coupled with commitment to contribute their time to NDP is greatly appreciated. In addition, I want to acknowledge the dedication and contributions of Paul Rubsam. Paul continues to do an excellent job in his role as NDP’s full time Director of Finance. The challenging economic environment coupled with NDP’s dedication to excellence requires strong leadership in this role, and we are fortunate to have someone of Paul’s caliber at NDP. Thank you all for your continued and various forms of support to NDP. Your generous contributions allow NDP to continue to provide a high quality Catholic education to our students. Sincerely, Peter Morrow Chairman, Finance Committee notre dame preparatory high school • annual report 2009-10 A Legacy of Faith... Sister Yolanda Mendoza Director of Campus Ministry CHRISTIAN SERVICE HOURS COMPLETED BY NDP STUDENTS 2009-10 Notre Dame Preparatory students actively contribute to our campus and to our community, aided by the support of many generous parents and teachers. While NDP students are required to serve our community by completing a schedule of Christian service hours, we are also blessed with many wonderful students who go above and beyond the requirements. The Class of 2010 volunteered a total of more than 32,740 service hours during their four years at Notre Dame. The entire NDP student body contributes thousands of Christian service hours each year to their churches and to organizations, including Habitat for Humanity, Special Olympics, and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, to name but a few. Having been assigned as chaplain to NDP by Bishop Olmsted the previous year, Fr. Michael Goodyear continued his service to Notre Dame during the 2009-10 school year. Having a priest on campus is a blessing for our school as it is a wonderful opportunity for all to grow in their faith. Fr. Goodyear was instrumental in establishing the school’s new Bring It! club, with the goal of helping young men grow in their understanding of Christian manhood while laying a foundation for being future husbands and fathers. The Senior Legacy Club continued its efforts under the direction of theology faculty member Mrs. Mary Lou Lachvayder to establish a legacy of service and commitment to those most in need, while Theology Department Head Barbara Stanley and I enjoyed working with the students on the Liturgy Committee. I am also grateful for the support I receive from members of the Mothers’ Guild who give generously of their time to help care for the school’s beautiful chapel and to serve on the From The Heart committee, which organizes Christian service opportunities for NDP students. Freshmen: 5,192 Sophomores: 7,693 Juniors: 7,804 Seniors: 11,642 Y NDP peer ministers serve as mentors at the freshman and sophomore Days of Reflection and assist in the organization of each of the two retreats.

Phil Hugus Booster Club President Booster Club Board 2009-10 The Booster Club enjoyed a successful year in 2009-10 with the support of a great board of directors and hundreds of supportive members and volunteers. Notre Dame continues to merit its well-earned reputation as an outstanding high school that attracts students with the potential to excel both on and off the playing field. Many new trophies and banners were added over the course of the school year to the Dale M. Jensen Gymnasium as the Saints won team championships in Girls’ Track and Field, Girls’ Tennis, Boys’ Golf, Girls’ Golf, Hockey, Pom, Show Cheer, Stunt Cheer, and Spiritline. Congratulations to the Girls’ Track team for winning its first state title! Nineteen members of the Class of 2010 have gone on to further their athletic prowess at the college level. Talented NDP athletes also won numerous individual state championship medals in Swimming, Girls’ Golf, Girls’ Tennis, and Girls’ Track. Mike Harvey Vice President and President-Elect The Booster Club is proud to have supported these outstanding teams, their coaches, and our superb athletic director, Mike Mahon, who at year’s end announced he had accepted a teaching position abroad. Under his leadership, NDP has become a powerhouse to be reckoned with in the Arizona Interscholastic Association’s 4A Division II. The club is deeply grateful for its hardworking members who provide important social and financial support to Notre Dame’s athletic programs. The club is deeply grateful for his five years of service to our school and for his role in motivating the club’s hardworking members who provide important social and financial support to Notre Dame’s athletic programs. Susan McWeeny Treasurer 2009-2010 BOOSTER CLUB HIGHLIGHTS Phil Hugus President Mary Williams Events Director Lisa Gallagher Membership Director Tony Montgomery Golf Tournament Chair The club added more than 140 new families to its membership roster this year, bringing total membership to more than 500 families. Through its membership drive and annual golf tournament, the club was able to contribute more than $100,000 to support NDP athletic programs. NDP’s 8th Annual Golf Tournament at Troon North Golf Club was another resounding success under the direction of co-chairs Tom Lehman and Tony Montgomery, raising $70,000. The club also held four successful events on campus this year: the Fall, Winter, and Spring Sports Festivals, and the second annual Night of Champions. The club was proud to present two inspirational speakers to Notre Dame students and families: Rudy Ruettiger of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football fame spoke at the Fall Sports Festival, and NFL player Ray McElroy, chaplain for the Chicago Bears, brought the crowd to its feet at the Night of Champions. Brandon Maxwell and his team at M Catering continued their support of NDP athletics by providing Notre Dame families with top-notch fare at our festivals and at the game concession stands. 2009 GOLF TOURNAMENT GOLF TOURNAMENT COMMITTEE Tom Lehman, Tournament Chair (not pictured); Pictured (L to R): Phil Hugus, Booster Club President; Tony Montgomery, Co-Chair; Carol Rinella, Susan McWeeny, Pam Ferrari, Mike Harvey, Deanna Wille, Cathie Cuda, and Jim Schiffer.

The festivities celebrated NDP’s achievement as a nationally ranked college preparatory high school and netted $45,000 in scholarship funds for current students. NDP parents Mark and Amanda Bosco of Great American Title Agency, Inc. and Tiffany and Bosco P.A. donated the luxury sedan from Schumacher Mercedes-Benz in Scottsdale. Bruce Beverly and Mark Bosco of Tiffany and Bosco and Great American Title Company, Werner Schumacher, and David Gonsalves. NDP Director of Development Carolyn Rock said, “The Boscos’ gift of a Mercedes to the gala’s raffle for a second consecutive year reflects their belief that Notre Dame provides an outstanding academic experience that attracts students from across the Valley, including Fountain Hills, Anthem, Mesa, and Glendale. Their generosity is especially appreciated this year as we try to help every student who requires financial aid to stay in school.” Gala Chair Sally Cashman credits Honorary Chairs Michael DeMaria of Heirloom at D.C. Ranch and Brandon Maxwell of M Catering by Michael’s for assembling an impressive roster of Valley chefs who prepared tastings of their specialties for guests to enjoy. NDP Arts Angels The NDP Arts Angels successfully achieved its mission to support and develop opportunities for NDP fine arts students. The Notre Dame Arts Angels is a support group comprised of parent volunteers who take an active role in promoting the arts at NDP. Members of the Arts Angels bolster the school’s art, photography, ceramics, music, dance, and theater programs by offering their time and experience to support the various artistic needs and aspirations of our fine arts students and their instructors. Among its many endeavors, the Arts Angels has organized a month-long exhibition of NDP art to be held the month of December at the Phoenix Art Museum. CTODP Offers State Tax Credit and Provides Financial Aid to NDP Students The Development Department extends its sincere appreciation to everyone who contributed to the Catholic Tuition Organization of the Diocese of Phoenix (CTODP) and enjoyed a state income tax credit while funding scholarships at NDP. Your generosity provides valuable financial assistance to deserving students at Notre Dame. As a rapidly growing school with a diverse student body, scholarship aid continues to be one of our greatest needs. The 2009-10 CTODP campaign raised $328,000 in scholarship funds (a 7% decrease from the previous year). More than ever before, the need for financial aid at NDP is still greater than the available resources. In the coming school year, you will have several opportunities to contribute to CTODP. Please open your hearts and minds to this important need by taking advantage of CTODP’s dollar-for-dollar tax credit of up to $1,000. Your gift will make a difference in the life of a Notre Dame student. NDP thanks all of the dedicated parent volunteers who gave so generously of their time to make the 2009-10 CTODP campaign an unqualified success, especially Susan Casaceli, Holly Cooper, Nancy Dougherty, Donald Evans, Sue Fischer, Laura Hicks, Marci Matt, Margaret Shoemaker, Catherine Wetter, Clara Ponce, Carol Ann Wright, Mareencita and Javier Ramos, Amy Rivers, Annie Stempta, Margaret Nawrocki, and Nada Zlaket.

Dear Parents and Friends of Notre Dame Preparatory: Beginning with the school’s signature event, The Taste of Excellence Gala, and concluding with the fabulous Mothers’ Guild Auction and Fashion Show, Notre Dame parents and friends demonstrated the strong community support that has become the school’s trademark. While the economy and mixed financial markets provided challenges, Notre Dame nevertheless met its financial goals through the support of parents, grandparents, parents of alumni, and friends who contributed their time and resources. Carolyn Rock Director of Development In the fall, event chair Sally Cashman and culinary co-chairs Brandon Maxwell and Michael DeMaria coordinated an assemblage of 16 of the Valley’s finest restaurants for the annual Taste of Excellence Gala. A high point of the evening was the raffle of a Mercedes C300 sports sedan, which was generously donated by Mark and Amanda Bosco. The proceeds from the event benefited the NDP “Scholarships for Now” Fund. More than 470 donors contributed to the Annual Fund and helped us achieve our goal of $200,000. Thank you to our annual fund co-chairs Lora Drummond and George Krueger. The freshmen won the first Annual Fund Class Challenge and received a catered dinner on the field before the Homecoming fireworks display. The Annual Fund is the backbone of the school’s fundraising and provides for the current needs of our students and faculty. The CTODP committee led by Denis Slawsby raised more than $300,000 for financial aid through the state’s tax-credit program. In addition, NDP was the beneficiary of a benevolent corporate donor who provided more than $500,000 in funds for needy students. As a result of this generosity, 13 students are receiving a Notre Dame education who otherwise would not be able to attend the school. This is an inspirational example of how our corporate community can change the lives of others through tax credits. The Booster Club’s popular Golf Tournament set new records in 2009. It was Tony Montgomery’s last year as chair, and he concluded it on a very successful note. The end of the year culminated with a fabulous Mothers’ Guild auction at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort. Chair Janet Ault and her committee coordinated a lovely evening that culminated in a grand finalés as our senior students took the stage to model fashions by Dillard’s. A new tradition was established that evening when NDP recognized two volunteers who had led the school in its early years. Dale Jensen and Kirk Tushaus were honored as the school’s first recipients of the Patron Saint Award. The event surpassed its goal and was a true celebration of the school, its seniors, and their achievements. As we begin fundraising efforts for 2010-2011, I cannot stress enough the importance of your contributions. Notre Dame‘s success is due, in large part, to those who believed in the school and have fostered its growth through gifts of time, talent and financial support. On behalf of Notre Dame’s faculty and students, I express my deepest appreciation. Sincerely, Carolyn Rock Director of Development 18 notre dame preparatory high school • annual report 2009-10 A Legacy of Support... The 2009 Annual Fund goal was $200,000. All private schools have an annual fund that covers the difference between the cost of tuition and the real cost of educating a student. Notre Dame Prep is deeply appreciative of all of the families who donated to this year’s fund. Donors who contributed $1,500 or more to the fund were invited to attend the annual Principal’s Dinner in May. annual fund donors 2009-10 PATRON SAINTS Mr. and Mrs. Michael Hall SAINTS Ms. Maria Bulnes Bernaldo Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Disbrow* ARCHANGELS Mr. and Mrs. Brad Berry* Mr. and Mrs. William Littleton* ANGELS Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pietrangelo* Mr. and Mrs. Tom Martin Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Blackwell* Mr. and Mrs. Donald J.

The 202 members of the Class of 2010 marched at a graduation ceremony held May 18 at Wells Fargo Arena. At the core of Notre Dame’s success is the unwavering belief that an excellent education includes the spiritual, academic, moral, and social support required to prepare our students for life. Notre Dame Preparatory has graduated to date a total of 975 students who now attend prestigious universities and colleges across the United States. As a result of their dedicated effort and an excellent college preparatory curriculum, many of these students are enjoying the benefits of the more than $17 million in scholarship offers that have been awarded to NDP’s first six graduating classes. Notre Dame alumni are maintaining their ties to the school through a variety of activities, including the Alumni Panel Discussion for the current senior class, the annual Homecoming Rally and football game, and the Alumni Christmas Party.

The Finance Committee’s goal for the Endowment is to increase the corpus and to use a portion of its earnings for financial aid for deserving students.
