Message from the President
I hope that you will join us on Saturday, April 26,
2014, at the 50th Anniversary Gala, which will be
held at your Alma Mater. … It would be wonderful
to see all of you as we celebrate fifty years of
Catholic Education at Archbishop Wood High
School, home of the Vikings.
A
s we begin a year of celebration of the 50th
Anniversary of Archbishop Wood High School,
I would like to express my deepest appreciation
for your support throughout the year. Your alma
mater is thriving in every aspect of Catholic
Education. Our students are successful in every aspect of high
school life: in the classroom, on the stage and athletic fields, as
well as in the community.
Let me tell you about some of the achievements of our
students:
• The Class of 2013 was awarded over twenty-five million
dollars in scholarships and grants.
• 125 students achieved three or more college credits through
our Dual Enrollment programs.
• Archbishop Wood currently has fifteen Neumann Scholars
attending, as well as thirteen members of All Catholic
Chorus, Band, and Orchestra.
• Our students have been finalists in the Philadelphia Area
Shakespeare Contest and the “Why is Stem Cool?” video
contest.
• Archbishop Wood’s athletic teams continue to dominate:
this past year our Football and Girls’ Cross Country teams
achieved PCL Championships, and the Boys’ and Girls’
Soccer teams and the Girls’ Swimming joined them with
District XII Championships. Add to these accomplishments
116 All Catholic Athletes and eleven All State Athletes and
you can see why we are very proud.
Academically we continue to grow and challenge our
students to be the best that they can be by always “Striving for
Excellence.” With the addition of our new STEM program,
we are giving our students the chance to explore Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Math while they are here at
Archbishop Wood. With the addition of our new Learning
Specialist, Mrs. Katherine Ruzicka Nase, Class of 2006, we are
enabling every student to succeed at Wood.
Our new Learning Commons in the South building will give
our students a beautiful setting in which they can do research
and work during and after school in an area that promotes
a university or college atmosphere. We have also begun to
renovate the bathrooms at Wood.
I write to you about these additions and improvements
because without your generosity and support many things
could not be done. I hope that you will join us on Saturday,
April 26, 2014, at the 50th Anniversary Gala, which will
be held at your Alma Mater. Please find more information in
the magazine about this event. If you have not been back for
a visit this would be a great night to do so and don’t forget to
tell another alum. It would be wonderful to see all of you as we
celebrate fifty years of Catholic Education at Archbishop Wood
High School, home of the Vikings.
Once again I thank you for all that you do and I hope and
pray that you will continue to support our mission to educate
the current and future students of Archbishop Wood High
School for many years to come. Please know that you and your
families are always in my prayers, for without you many things
would not be possible. God Bless.
Sincerely yours,
Gary V. Zimmaro Sr.

Behinds-the-scenes tour with State Rep Michael Fitzpatrick
By Carly Noonan ’14
O
n the 16th of May, Archbishop Wood’s
Biology teacher, Mrs. Fitzpatrick,
took a mixed group of 50 students
to Washington D.C. for an inside tour of our
nation’s capital, courtesy of her husband,
Michael Fitzpatrick. Michael Fitzpatrick is a
United States Representative for Pennsylvania’s
8th congressional district which includes Bucks
County and parts of Montgomery County. Mrs.
Fitzpatrick welcomed the students for a chance
to explore her husband’s office before she
led them underground to the Capital Building.
That’s right-underground. Unbeknown to
many, there are several underground tunnels in
Washington D.C. that connect the government
workers office buildings to the Capital Building.
These tunnels create easier passageways for the
workers to get to where they need to be, but
are usually closed to the public. However, thanks
to some connections, the students were able to
walk through the tunnels and were extremely
surprised when former Speaker of the House
Nancy Pelosi nonchalantly walked past them!
When they arrived to the Capital, the students
got special treatment with a behind the scenes
tour by Mrs. Fitzpatrick and Mike Fitzpatrick
himself. Afterwards, the students were allowed
to go and explore Washington D.C. on their
own for a few hours. Some of the popular
attractions were the Smithsonian Museums,
the Botanic Garden, and the National Mall. The
class trip offered rare opportunities to catch
inside glimpses of our nation’s capital and the
students cannot thank the Fitzpatricks enough
for making such a memorable field trip.

The Learning Commons
T
he Learning Commons occupies the area formerly occupied by
the Library. This newly renovated space contains 46 computers,
a reading area, collaboration area and a tutoring area. Housed within
the Learning Commons is also our Learning Specialist who will work
with students with learning issues.
The Learning Commons will be open from 7am until 5pm.
Students can go to the Commons during lunch, study, before or after
school. While many of the volumes located in the Library have been
either moved to department areas, donated or recycled, many books
will be located in the Learning Commons. In addition, digital books
will be available for students to borrow on their device.
The students and faculty of Archbishop Wood look forward
to using this beautiful area for reading, writing, research and
collaboration.
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)
E
ach year the Guidance Department of Archbishop Wood High
School compiles a survey of the graduate’s intended college
major. Science majors have always been in the plurality. Recently the
number of students expressing a specific interest in engineering has
grown. Additionally, the number of females expressing an interest
4
in engineering has increased. Based on these facts and literature on
STEM fields:
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported that science and
engineering occupations are projected to grow by 21.5% from
2004 to 2014, compared to a growth of 13% in all occupations
during the same time period. (Cole, Camille: Connecting
Student to Stem Careers, p. 3)
The administration of Archbishop Wood has embarked upon a
plan to implement a STEM curriculum.
We are proud to announce that our STEM program began
this September. This year students can select either Robotics/
Introduction to Engineering or CAD/Adobe Flash. These courses
will provide students with an up-close view of the world of
engineering and the skills needed to be successful in this field.
The Robotics/Introduction to Engineering Class is being cotaught by two professional in the field of engineering. Robotics will
provide the students with a hands-on experience in building and
programing while the Introduction to Engineering class will give an
overview of the various fields of engineering and the skills needed to
be successful in this field.
CAD/Adobe Flash taught in the Business Technology Department
will allow the students to get a taste of the Computer Assisted
Drawing needed in engineering and a variety of technologies through
Adobe Flash class.

Q & A with Kevin Monaghan, Class of 1973
By Carly Noonan ’14
new coach affected the team and changed the attitude and changed
the culture.
Kevin Monaghan is a ’73 graduate at
Archbishop Wood and is currently the Senior
Vice President, Strategic Relationships, at
NBC’s Digital Media. We caught up with Kevin
to ask him how Archbishop Wood inspired and
fostered the successful career he has now.
Q: How would you describe your experience at
Archbishop Wood?
Kevin: I got a great education at Archbishop Wood. There were
some really good teachers that challenged me in various ways;
particularly John Sharp and Paul Kelly, who pushed my classmates
and me academically almost to the point that they were equivalent
to college level teachers. Academics were very important but I
think that the learning, acquiring, and mastering of life skills from
Archbishop Wood came from outside of the classroom. I proudly
worked as manager on the football team and served on student
council my Junior year as secretary and my Senior year as President. I learned estimably how to get things done and how to work with
people and treat others with respect.
Q: What did you learn most from managing the football
team?
I wasn’t a very athletic kid but I like sports so this was an activity
that I really loved doing and that I am very proud of. When I
managed the football team, Archbishop Wood was in the middle of
a transformation of their athletic teams. They brought in a big time
football coach, Dick Bedesem, who started to bring Archbishop Wood
football to the map. He put in a lot of great coaches, including the
late Skip Duffy and Rich Kelly. Being able to work with the football
team allowed me to watch the transformation of a how bringing in a
Q: What is your most memorable high school
experience?
We had a day called Un-day where we tried to make it unlike any
other previous day. Student Council organized and invited speakers
to talk not only about academic subjects, but strong controversial
real-world issues. One of the speakers we invited was a Christian
brother from a school called Manhattan College in the Bronx. I asked
him to come in and talk about how Freshman, Sophomores, and
Juniors could prepare for the college process. I met him personally
at the end of the day and he asked me where I was going to school. I
told him I was still looking around and he gave me an application to
Manhattan College, free of charge, and said, “Apply here.”
Q: Is that where you ended up going to college?
Yes. I got a scholarship and after that the rest in history. I got
involved in the sports information office at Manhattan College and
being in the media capital of the world, New York City, I was able
to parlay that into a public relations career with a Sports Public
Relations company for a year. On December 1, 1981, I joined NBC
sports as a sports publicist and did that through the late ’80s. I then
moved to business development and got involved in the digital space
in 1996 when we did our first Olympics on the internet. Now after
over 30 years of working with NBC, I’m involved full time with
Digital. I’ve had a lot of different challenging roles here but it’s been
a blast! Kevin also served as boxing coordinator for NBC. He currently
lives l in Upper Montclair, NJ with his wife Hillary. They have four
children: Christina, Rory, Molly and Annie

For the Love of the Game

all means one thing in the Simon household:
football season has arrived. If you look out onto
the local high school football field on a Friday
night, you will find Coach Jack Simon pacing the
sidelines and conferring with the athletes. He
has been a fixture at Milford High School for over 30 years,
coaching for at least 20 of those.
His long career, however, did not begin on the sidelines.
It began over 40 years ago on the field of Archbishop Wood
High School. Jack entered Wood in 1968 and played all four
years for the team, three on the varsity level, as an offensive
tackle. During his first three years there, the team was young
and struggled. However, during his senior year, the team, lead
by Coach Dick Bedesem, produced a winning season and even
placed 3rd in the league. Mr. Simon was voted co-captain of the
team senior year and was named First Team All Catholic. He
was also selected to the Courier Times and Daily Intelligencer
all area teams. He was described by his teammates as a
“bruising tackle who helped lead the way for the offense.” Mr.
Simon also had the opportunity to play for the North Squad in
the Bucks County All Star Game. It was the first all star game
to be played in Bucks County, with the North Squad winning
the contest 28 to 24. He not only played football, but also kept
busy playing intramurals for four years and tossing the shot put
for the track team for his last three years at Wood.
All of Mr. Simon’s hard work paid off as he was awarded a
partial scholarship to Drexel University and West Chester State
College. Jack decided to continue his career at West Chester
from 1972 until 1975, where he once again helped lead the team
as an offensive tackle. In his sophomore year, the team received
an invitation to play in the Florida Classic. During his senior
year, he was selected to the All Pennsylvania Conference,
Eastern Division First Team at his position and was also
selected as the West Chester MVP offensive lineman of the
year in 1975. He was also appointed by the Associated Press to
the “Little All American” team the same year.
Upon graduation, Mr. Simon accepted a job as a drivers
education teacher at Milford High School in Milford, DE. He
would go onto to teach for 30 years and coach for most of
that time. Over the span of 27 years, he had the privilege of
Jack Simon ’72
coaching two state championship wrestling teams, a state
championship track and football team. Even though Mr.
Simon retired in 2006, nothing could keep him off the football
field. His love for the game was evident as he volunteered
long hours, and even took a job as assistant Athletic Director.
During his years since retirement, Mr. Simon was able to coach
his son, Jack, a second team all-state center, and even helped
the team win a State Championship in 2008. He continues
to coach and share his love for the game with the athletes and
fellow coaches, including son-in-law Mike Sharp. Along with
coaching, he also worked as a advisor to the LEO Club, Varsity
Club and helped to establish the Milford High School Football
Hall of Fame, which just inducted its 6th class of athletes.
Jack currently lives in Delaware with his wife Bonnie of 36
years. Both of his children, Jack and Kelly, also live in the area.
When he is not on the field coaching, he likes to spend time
golfing, fishing, volunteering with the Lions Club and with his
grandchildren Patrick and Haleigh. Editor’s note: This article was written by Jack’s daughter

Roll-ing Toward Success

L
istening to music while creating bold, delicious flavors of
barbecue sauce does not sound like a typical day in the office.
That’s because it’s not! Russ Mareno ’04 and Brian VanZelst
’04 truly know the meaning of living life to the fullest!
Russ and Brian founded Rock the Roll, a business that is taking
food creation to the next level. They specialize in the selling
of custom barbecue sauces while competing in local cooking
competitions in the Greater Philadelphia area. After all, what could
be better than a great barbecue with amazing friends, all while
listening to your favorite music? That’s, right – music is a big part of
the Rock the Roll experience, too!
Russ and Brian became fast friends during their freshman year
math class, when they learned they both had the same taste in music.
They instantly bonded and also discovered they had a deep love for
cars. Going to concerts and car shows became a regular occurrence
for these best friends. Going to separate colleges did not necessarily
separate these two (Russ went to Rider University and Brian to
Wilkes University). They remained close friends, attended concerts
together and visited each other when possible. One of the things they
both realized while attending college and working at local eateries
was that they also had a love for good, authentic food!
After graduating from college, Russ and Brian moved back to
Bucks County but knew that they could expand their palates even
more. They started camping across the country to find different local
cuisines and cultures. In 2011, they visited one new restaurant in
Philadelphia each month, choosing a new type of cuisine each time.
It was always part of their long-term plans to break into the food
8
industry, but one day it just clicked!
They knew there was a way to combine their love of music and
passion for food with not just a business, but an experience. Russ
and Brian wanted their customers to feel the passion and excitement
that they felt when the idea emerged. Rock the Roll was officially
registered as a business in the state of Pennsylvania in January 2012.
The two up-and-coming entrepreneurs hosted “taste-testing” parties
for friends and family, welcoming feedback on different dishes,
sauces, and impression of their culinary creations. Not only is Rock the Roll an engaging experience for your palate
and social scene, but philanthropy is a big part of where Russ
and Brian want to take their business. After starting a barbecue
competition team and entering in various local competitions, not
only did the guys find success in the end results of the competitions,
but also decided to build a charitable element into the core of their
business. If the opportunity to play music in grammar school did not
exist, Rock the Roll would not be where it is today. Recently, music
programs in the Greater Philadelphia Area have been suffering.
They are doing everything in our power to help fix this issue. At any
of their many events, Rock the Roll will be collecting used musical
instruments that will then be donated to local music programs in
the Greater Philadelphia Area. Music has been at the core of Rock
the Roll from the beginning, which is why they want to give kids
the opportunity to find themselves through music like we did! Russ
and Brian attribute their dedication to helping the community to the
education and values they learned while students at Archbishop Wood.
As far as the competitions go, as the rookies of their very first
competition, they took first prize in the “ribs” category and second
in “pulled pork.” Michael Klein, top food critic and lead editor of

Philadelphia Magazine, was one of the judges that found Rock the
Roll to be worthy of both prizes. Recently, Rock the Roll participated
in the Stephen Starr/Garry Maddox BBQ Challenge at Citizens Bank
Park, benefiting Complete 360, a charity that supports education and
development of urban youth in the Philadelphia area.
After testing many different flavors of barbecue sauces, Russ
and Brian have decided to launch their Honey Barbecue flavor, as
their initial offering. They’ve invested a lot of time in the research
and development of their signature product, finding the best local
ingredients while keeping the bold flavor that has attached itself
to their brand. In today’s health-conscious world, it’s difficult to
benchmark a product such as barbecue sauce as “healthy,” but Russ
and Brian take pride in their Honey Barbecue sauce being just 50
calories per two tablespoons. What’s next for Rock the Roll? Keep an eye out for that
signature sauce in local flea markets throughout Bucks County and
Philadelphia. They will also be selling their Honey Barbecue Sauce
at Petit Gourmand in Manayunk, a brick and mortar kitchen and
house wares boutique that will carry a carefully curated selection of
design-driven kitchen wares, cookware, and gourmet items. Don’t be
surprised if you pass your favorite store and you see that Rock the
Roll logo in the window! Russ and Brian are taking their products
to the shelves of local storefronts as we speak. Their long-term goal
is to open a restaurant in Philadelphia that will truly reflect their
personalities and continue the excitement that Rock the Roll delivers
to its customers. Music and barbecue could be the next peanut butter
and jelly. Or the next Russ and Brian.

Annual Viking Fund Phonathon last March.
Current Parents &
Parents of Alumni
We remain so very grateful to our parents who actively support our mission here at Archbishop Wood. In addition to fulfilling their tuition
obligations, many current parents volunteer in the Parents Association, booster clubs, in the athletic and fine arts departments as well as in the
Advancement Office. Over 20% have donated this year which enables Wood to continued being one of the top schools in the area. We are also
grateful to the Parents of Alumni who continue to support Wood even though their children have graduated.
