I plead guilty: I have a tendency to take the scenic route on my way to making a point. In my defense: As a former writer, sometimes I got paid by the word. But the frequency with which our donors offer their support before I’ve even asked suggests that, for them, giving to VASJ is a genuine pleasure. They’d rather talk about their own high school adventure than dwell too long on why they should return the favor for another generation. It really goes without saying. Each of us – whether we attended VA or St. Joe’s or VASJ – knows that our education was a gift that shaped the course of the rest of our lives. The values and beliefs we bring to our personal relationships and professional careers set us apart. My classmate, John Shinsky ’69, put it well when he spoke to our students after they raised money in a Lenten Mission Collection for an orphanage he founded in Mexico. “If you are here, you are blessed,” he said. That really does tell the whole story, doesn’t it? And those of us who were blessed to benefit from the gifts of the Ursulines and Marianists years ago now have the privilege to help contemporary young people receive the same. It has been a blessing beyond measure for me to return to our shared alma mater after more than four decades away. I am happy to tell you that everything – absolutely everything – that was truly important about our high school experience is mirrored fully in the lives of our students today. When our alums visit, every bit of what they see – the academics, the athletics, the spirituality, the friendships – conjures a sense of déjà vu. In fact, I’m often amazed that our students apparently believe I am a grownup.

What our students do understand, however, is just how blessed they are. Perhaps because of modern challenges that cause them to have a more authentic world view than we did, they already realize that attending Villa Angela-St. Joseph High School is an opportunity not to be squandered or taken lightly. For all the fun they have – and they have plenty – they take their education very seriously. That explains why 100 percent of the class of 2012 headed off to college this past school year. In this special issue of VASJ Magazine, we celebrate the successes of our students and we thank you for making those successes possible. Your generosity continues the dream of a VASJ education and ensures that our school will remain on the same clear path that our teachers and coaches charted for us. The story of VASJ has been one of excellence, mission and pride since the earliest visions of our founders. Our most recent growth – the current freshman class enrollment is more than 120 percent greater than it was just two years ago – is the result of many factors, not the least of which has been your enthusiasm and help. Getting right to the point: Thank you. And God bless you for all you have done and continue to do for your alma mater. Richard J.

Family. Future. cover story Prepared for college, By Mike Tobin ’91 prepared for life The success of our graduates tells the world that a Villa Angela-St. Joseph High School diploma carries a stamp of academic excellence. But the lessons of life our students learn and our donors support go far beyond the classroom. That’s the VASJ difference. T he 21st century represents a series of limitless choices. Secondary education is no exception. Students and their parents now face an array of choices unimagined in the not-so-distant past. It is hard to keep count of the high schools that have opened or closed in Northeast Ohio since most of us earned our diplomas. Meanwhile, the state has made it easier for students to go to public schools outside of their immediate neighborhoods. Charter and magnet schools offer specialized curricula. Home schooling is on the rise. Yet despite all these options, American education continues to struggle to keep up with the demands of the world. Why, then, has VASJ had so much success, including 100 percent of its class of 2012 going on to colleges from West Point to Denison to Ursuline to the University of Dayton? What makes our school stand out among its peers? Why, at the same time other schools are facing declining enrollment, are more and more families making the sacrifice to send their sons and daughters to East 185th Street and Lakeshore Boulevard? Just what is it that our increasingly generous donors are supporting? 14 Winter/Spring 2012-13 www.vasj.com 216-481-8414 Cleveland, as well as a former Mayor, U.S. Senator and Ohio We asked some of the people who would know best – education Governor. and religious leaders who deal day-to-day with the challenges And, oh yes, two Ohio Supreme Court Justices along with VASJ confronts in a culture that seems to change with the speed of a dozen other judges were on hand in the school gym for the a click on your cable remote.

Family. Future,” said Richard “VASJ is one of America’s most important schools,” McCormack Osborne, the school’s President and a graduate of St. Joseph High said. “That is not an overstatement. You come from very diverse School, class of 1969. “It’s not an idle slogan. It is a heartfelt religious backgrounds.

Advanced Placement, honors and college-prep courses equip students with the tools they need to succeed. VASJ also has developed a curriculum focused on entrepreneurship and has introduced a program called “Our World Today” that is designed to broaden students’ horizons to the issues and peoples around the world. In addition, the school has specialized programs that can offer real-world skills or simply a change of pace from Macbeth.

Students The spirit of those previous volunteer at missions halfway eras is still here and the around the world kids are walking around in El Salvador or here with it. a few steps out the back door at the Hospice of the Western Reserve. And they live out their faith in acts big and small. “I think what allows the students here to make it work is that they truly respect each other,” Csank said. “They believe that every person in this building is a child of God, deserving of love and respect.” That love and respect is another hallmark that dates to the feelings of family and togetherness that instilled such loyalty among graduates of Villa Angela Academy, St. Joseph High School and Villa Angela-St. Joseph High School. “This school has a feeling of family,” said Don Dailey, a 1970 graduate and retired managing partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in Cleveland, who now serves as Chairman of the school’s Board of Advisors. “Students know each other and the faculty members know you, your first name, in the first week.” Dailey and others cite the school’s diversity as another strength that sets it apart from other schools. The diversity is evident in all its many forms – racial, geographic, socioeconomic, to name a few. “It’s a real-world setting,” Dailey said. “There’s a richness of diverse viewpoints and experiences.” Religion teacher Bill Raddell regularly visits other schools to learn how they educate their students. He used the analogy of a face when comparing VASJ to other schools. All faces have common elements – eyes, nose, mouth, ears – but it’s the individual elements and differences that give each face its character. Every year he asks the seniors in his class about what defines VASJ and the Ursuline and Marianist education they’ve received. “Almost universally they say family spirit is the outstanding characteristic,” Raddell said. “They say: ‘It feels like home to me.’” Raddell is a 1968 graduate of St. Joseph and has taught at the school for the better part of 40 years. He notes that class sizes are smaller than when he was a student and the school has adapted to the changes that come with the times, but the spirit of the school – the togetherness, the academic excellence, the Catholic foundation – flourishes now as it always has. “The spirit of those previous eras is still here and the kids are walking around here with it,” he said. “There are things happening here that you’re not going to find anywhere else.” Mike Tobin ’91 is vice chairman of the VASJ Board of Advisors. A former journalist, he now serves as Community and Public Affairs Specialist for the U.S. Department of Justice, Northern District of Ohio. 16 Winter/Spring 2012-13 www.vasj.com 216-481-8414 2011-12 Donor Recognition Report Gifts received from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. 2011-12 Board of Advisors Donald Dailey ’70, Chair Adjunct Board Members Michael Tobin ’91, Co-Chair Umberto Fedeli ’78 Debbe Fischbach, Board Secretary Senator George Voinovich William Centa ’70 Ad Hoc Members Kevin Flynt ’70 Sandra English ’92 Brian Friedman Raymond Marvar ’72 Dana Heil Vince Panichi Wes Howard Michael Romeo ’88 Marlene Kuskin Robert Mullin ’88 Sr. Susan Mary Rathbun ’58 Sr. Joan Marie Russ ’65 Ex-Officio Members David Csank, VASJ Principal Richard Osborne ’69, VASJ President Gerard Stadler ’69 Endowment Board Reginald Stover ’83 Robert Jaquay ’73, Chair James Tobin Don Dailey ’70 Barbara Tyler ’60 Bro.
