ANNUAL FUND—THE SERVITE DIFFERENCE Mrs. Marjan Dunn, Director of Annual Giving (x1127)

The Parent Council will provide refreshments in the Quad following the meeting. Thank you for being with us tonight. We are excited to welcome you to the Servite Family!

Servite High School recognizes that the key to a successful school is parent participation. Many schools offer multiple parent organizations such as PTO, Parent Guild and Booster Club, that work independently of each other. At , a single parent organization exists – The Parent Council.

The Parent Council is more than a parent organization; they are true partners of the Servite staff, providing support in the areas that need it most. Servite’s success is due in large part to the limitless energy of our parent volunteers. The Parent Council at Servite is not an elected board, but, rather ALL parents in the Servite community are members of the Parent Council.

The Parent Council has three important functions:  To support, advance and encourage the programs and activities of Servite High School.  To promote projects to improve the facilities and equipment necessary to provide a superior experience for the students.  To support the activities and policies of the school administration through volunteerism.

You will soon discover that one of the unique features of Servite is the fact that it is more than a school, it is a community. Parents coming together to benefit our students are united by a single mission. Parents working together in our community has forged many life-long friendships – friendships that began behind a grill, on the field, and in a conference room. We hope you will take this opportunity to learn more about the roles and opportunities the Parent Council has to offer. To indicate your interest in playing an active role in our community, please visit our website and go to the Quicklinks - Parent Resources and you can sign up under “Volunteers”. Opportunities vary from leadership roles as an event chair to making calls to welcome new families. There is “something for everyone” and all are welcome to participate.

Council Meetings - Monthly A Parent Council meeting is held the first Tuesday of each month. The Parent Council and Servite Administration meet and discuss the status of the school, plan upcoming events and answer any questions or issues that may exist.

Parent Council sponsors a variety of activities and events for our Servite Parents.

Homecoming Weekend/Friar Feast - Fall Homecoming offers an exciting, fun-filled weekend of community building events. The weekend kicks off with Friar Feast; a “taste of Servite” fundraising event for parents, alumni and friends. All proceeds benefit Servite’s teams and clubs. The weekend closes with the Homecoming Dance for the Tri-School students.

Fashion Show and Luncheon - Fall A special annual event for Servite women and friends, the Fashion Show is a tradition everyone anticipates. The day includes a holiday boutique, raffles, silent and live auctions, a lovely lunch and The Fashion Show – starring student, parent, and alumni models!

Servite Fashion Show, Luncheon and Boutique – Sunday, October 26th 2014 The Fashion Show is a cherished part of the Servite Tradition for more than 55 years. The day’s events include a Boutique, Silent Auction, winner’s choice raffle and culminates with delicious brunch, Oral Auction and profes- sional caliber Mother/Son Fashion Show.

Servite Gala – Saturday, February 7th 2015 The Gala is Servite’s premier Dinner Auction organized by parents for current parents, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, parents of future Friars and other Servite friends. It includes a silent auction around a social hour, games of chance and raffles, formal dinner and oral auction that features exotic trips, cruises, Ser- vite dinners, wine tours, professional sports event packages and other fun items for bidding.

Excellence in Leadership Formation Dinner – Saturday, April 18th 2015 The Excellence in Leadership Dinner is a world class honoree event that raises funds for new facilities and en- dowment programs. Alumni and community leaders are recognized for exemplary leadership in their family, business, community, faith lives and with Servite. Past honorees include: Servite Formation Director Larry Toner, General William Lyon, Ret. USAF, national radio celebrity Hugh Hewitt, All-Pro Carolina Panthers Cen- ter ’03, former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell and Ambassador to Chile Craig Kelly ’72, and former NFL and CBS Sports commentator, ’83.

Grandparent’s Day – May 1st 2015 Grandparents of Freshmen and Seniors are invited to spend time and create memories with their grandson(s). Enjoy a day of student entertainment, share a meal, participate in a classroom visit, and take a keepsake photo with your grandson.

Legends of Servite Golf Tournament – May 4th 2015 In 1990, Steve Beuerlein ’83 and a group of classmates started a golf tournament to help their classmate Jeff Shearer and his family as he suffered through ALS. This tournament continues to help those in need with pro- ceeds going to student athletes needing financial aid. The tournament field is for 144 players with 18 holes of golf, dinner and prizes.

Servite athletics helps develop faith-filled leaders, both on and off the field. Our student-athletes are challenged to make good decisions and to perform as part of a team, all while giving 110% in the dynamic, difficult situations known as games. We develop personal growth, sportsmanship, ethical conduct and teamwork by working as hard as we can to win on the field of competition.

80% of our students participate in one or more of our thirteen team sports. More than 300 are multi-sport athletes. These young men not only participate in athletics, but they rise to the challenge of Servite’s rigorous academic standards, resulting in numerous college scholarships to schools like: Stanford, Dartmouth, Princeton, Brown, USC, UCLA, Harvard, Notre Dame, Cal Berkley, University of Miami, BYU, St. Mary’s, Chapman University, Penn and Oregon State, just to name a few. Two-thirds of Servite athletes maintain a grade point average of 3.2 or higher.

Many alumni have gone on to professional sports careers including: Steve Beuerlein (All-Pro football), (All-Pro football), Derek Brown (All-Pro football), (Pro football), Frank Kalil (Football), Ron Garretson (NBA Official), (ML Baseball), Steve Buchele (ML Baseball), DJ Houlton (ML Baseball), (ML Baseball), , (currently playing for the ), Matt Slater (currently playing for the ) Brian Wolfe (ML Baseball), Ryan Kalil (currently playing for the Carolina Panthers), Chris Pontius (by DC United, MLS), and (currently playing for the Minnesota Vi- kings.

Servite continues to compete in the Trinity League, one of the toughest leagues in the nation. To date, the Friars have won 129 League Championships and have also produced many individual champions in both league and CIF competition.

Soccer: In 2014, Soccer is the Trinity League Champion. Our soccer team excelled in league and in the playoffs. Led by Junior goalie, Keith Murphy and tremendous backfield including Juniors, Elijah Barajas, JT Cook and sen- ior, Daniel Munoz. The Friars made it to the Division I CIF semi-final game where they came up short against Loyola in shoot out, 10-9.

Wrestling: In 2014, Servite wrestlers captured the Trinity League title by outdueling league rivals, St. John Bosco. From there, Johnny Beltran, Noah Blakely and Cameron Amador and ten other Fightin’ Friars wrestled their way to the CIF Divisional Championship. From the divisional championships, six grapplers qualified for the Master’s Meet. With our Master’s placers, the next step was the CIF State wrestling meet in Bakersfield. Johnny Beltran captured third place and qualified for Nationals in Virginia Beach. Johnny Beltran was also named Orange County Wrestler of the Year. From there, five Fightin’ Friars will head into battle at the Amer- ica’s Cup where wrestlers from California battle wrestlers from other US States.

Other Sports: Football had a very good year under new AJ Gass losing to Alemany in the quarter finals of the PAC-5 divisional playoffs. Water Polo also had a very good year losing in the quarter finals of the CIF Division I playoffs. And Basketball went all the way to the Semi– Finals of Division III before losing to Brea.

It is an exciting time to be part of the athletic experience at Servite High School!

No prerequisites are required to take Beginning Band, Guitar or Choir and with planning, freshmen may sign up for these courses. In addition, a Music Appreciation course is also avail- able.

If your son discovers a passion for music performance, he has the opportunity to continue with advanced Band, Choir and Guitar courses. Servite students have won college music scholarships in the past, and choir students have won scholarships to sing in the college choir even if they are not music majors.

We hope you will consider joining one of our music classes. You will find each area described below with the appropriate contact information for that program. If there is anything that I can do for you, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to having the opportunity to speak with you.

Not only does enrollment in band help develop musical skills it also helps each student develop vital social and life skills that can translate to any career path that they may choose. A number of band students have achieved top awards at Servite and have gone on to top-tier schools.

Servite is home to a nationally recognized guitar program. While the focus of the guitar program is on the classical guitar style, learning this style strengthens a musician’s ability to play the guitar in any style. No previous experience is necessary, and anyone who completes the required class work and practices, can excel.

Motivated students who become passionate about music can take advanced guitar classes. Many students discover this passion for music once they start the class, even those with no previous experi- ence.

Participation in guitar ensembles and community performances are integral parts of advanced study. To see performances of the Servite Guitar Ensembles, visit the Servite website. Performances are also available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/user/ServiteGuitar.

Students with previous classical guitar training, who wish to enter the advanced program must audition. Please contact the guitar program director, Mr. Josinaldo Costa at 714-774-7575 extension 1436 or [email protected].

Servite High School believes that there is a direct correlation between a student’s appearance and his overall attitude toward school. A student’s dress reflects his approach to his studies, the respect he has for members of the faculty and staff, and his behavior as it affects other students. “Dressing up” for school signifies a respect for the above areas and a keen under- standing of the overall aims of Servite High School.

The Dean’s Office is directly responsible for the administration of the Dress Code and the pre- vention of exaggerated styles of dress, hair or accessories which may draw unfavorable atten- tion to the wearer. This is NOT seen as an infringement of a student’s right of free expression since there are many off-campus hours during which any student may dress as he chooses. Since attendance at Servite High School is a privilege, each and every student is expected to abide by a uniform and equally applicable dress code.

Dress Code Guidelines Each student is expected to be neatly dressed and groomed while on campus. The Dress Code is in effect beginning the first day of school. Any student who violates the Servite Dress Code may be sent home until he conforms to the guidelines. Any lost time from school due to Dress Code violations is considered and unexcused absence. The Dress Code will be enforced for the entire school day and at all events.

Periodically, the Dean will conduct Dress Code checks. Teachers will send students who are out of Dress Code to the Dean’s office. Dress Code regulations remain in force on final examination days. Students who do not conform to this regulation will not be permitted to take their final exam at the scheduled time. They may take it at a later time and date that is convenient to the teacher. In addition, the Dress Code remains in place for all end of the year senior activities.

Campus Ministry Mission Statement:

The Department of Campus Ministry promulgates and seeks to fulfill the mission of Servite High School.

We offer activities and programs to the school community that awaken faith and promote the values of fraternity, service, hospitality, and compassion as embodied in the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church and the Order Friar Servants of Mary.

We foster the search for meaningful spirituality that develops personal identity through encounters with God.

We achieve our mission through daily prayer, liturgical worship, celebration of the Sacraments, days of reflection, retreats, related spiritual leadership opportunities, spiritual direction and Christian Service.

The Order Friar Servants of Mary

The spiritual life and identity of Servite High School are founded on the principles and traditions of the Servite Order. Founded in 1233, the Servite Order extends its traditions of service, fraternity, and devotion to Mary, to the men of Servite High School.

Theology Classes

All students attend a daily class in Catholic Theology. In this setting, students are challenged to examine and study the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church with an academic approach.

Freshman: Revelation of Jesus in Scripture Who is Jesus Christ? Sophomore: The Paschal Mystery The Church Junior: Sacraments Morality Senior: Critical Reflections

Liturgy

Liturgical life is an important part of the spiritual formation available at Servite.

School Prayer Each day includes Morning Prayer, the Angelus (before lunch), and Closing Prayer. We ask God’s blessings upon our work and ourselves.

All School Mass The entire school attends Mass at least once a month on selected feasts of the Church and/or Servite Order.

Penance Services Each Advent and Lent, a communal penance service with individual confessions is scheduled for the whole school.

Prayer Services Liturgical Prayer services and praise celebrations are scheduled for Thanksgiving and Easter.

Retreat Days and KAIROS

Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Retreat Day Each year, students in the 9th-12th grades participate in a Retreat Day. Discussions and activities are based on age appropriate themes, male spirituality, and personal growth.

KAIROS The culmination of the Servite Retreat Program is the four-day KAIROS Retreat. This off-campus, overnight program is an intense experience which combines theological input, prayer, liturgy, spiritual reflection, and interpersonal encounter.

Christian Service

Each Servite student completes and documents a minimum of one hundred (100) hours of Christian Service as a component of his graduation requirements. These activities should be chosen to benefit the civic community, church, and our school community.

Christian Service education includes the following: A freshman assembly to introduce the program, local resources and service opportunities, reflection on Gospel teachings about service and written exercises which apply church teachings to the experience of serving others.

2014-2015 PARENT NOTIFICATION FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICINE AT SCHOOL

To The Parent/Guardian:

Medical treatment is the responsibility of the parent(s) and family physician. Medications, both prescription and over the counter, are rarely given at school; the only exceptions involve special serious problems where it is deemed absolutely necessary by the physician that the medication to be given during school hours. The parent is urged, with the help of you child’s physician, to work out a schedule of giving medication at home, outside school hours whenever possible.

California Educational Code, Section 49423 allows school personnel to assist in carrying out a physician’s recommendations. Designated non-medical school personnel may be administering your child’s medication. Medication will be sealed stored and locked or refrigerated if required.

Students may carry emergency medicine such as EpiPen or inhalers (only if authorized by physician, parent and school administration). A second EpiPen or inhaler must be kept at school for emergency use. We recommend that any student who has a serious medical condition (diabetes, epilepsy, etc.) should have an emergency supply of his prescription medication at school with the appropriate consent forms in case of disaster.

If medication is to be administered at school, all of the following conditions must be met:

1.

The Servite Formation Program is the intentional, systematic direction of the complete student experience toward the end of developing the whole person, body and soul, and facilitating each student’s address of the question, “Who are you?”

Within the context of the Formation Program, “teaching” is not limited to the classroom. All members of the faculty and staff play an active role as a teacher or guide, in the formation of every student with whom they work. The importance of each member’s active participation cannot be over-stated. As the Sacred Congregation for Catholic Education reminds us in The Catholic School on the Verge of the Third Millennium:

“Teaching has an extraordinary moral depth and is one of man's most excellent and creative activities, for the teacher does not write on inanimate material, but on the very spirits of human beings. The personal relations between the teacher and the students, therefore, assume an enormous importance and are not limited simply to giving and taking. Moreover, we must remember that teachers and educators fulfill a specific Christian vocation and share an equally specific participation in the mission of the Church, to the extent that ‘it depends chiefly on them whether the Catholic School achieves its purpose.’”

Every component of the student experience plays a unique and vital role in the formation of each student, for the whole student is not limited to any one component but is formed and affected by every activity and relationship that comprises their unique student experience.

Furthermore, a student’s experience will be far more valuable if they are given a single lens through which they are able to view any situation, endeavor, or challenge that life presents.

The following Formation Themes are intended to guide the formation of the Servite student in any context, both inside and outside of the classroom:

Primacy of faith. Life’s greatest and most important truths cannot be discovered by reason alone. We must accept that mystery exists and that life is a series of acts of faith, large and small. The most elemental act of faith is the belief that we possess a fundamental uniqueness that makes us who we are – unlike anyone else, past, present, or future.

Mastery of self. The gifts that make us who we are reveal the unique vocation we have been given by God. By mastering ourselves and developing our gifts, we will make the world a better place in a way that no one else ever can. This is the fundamental responsibility that gives meaning and purpose to our lives.

Necessity of the other. An honest assessment of who we are reveals that we have limits and need others. Properly developing ourselves requires that we properly develop all the relationships that make us who we are.

Centrality of Christ. There is one “other” we can never do without. God made us who we are and Christ brought us direct contact with God. Therefore, everything we do should be under Christ’s direction and modeled after him. We should note especially that Christ’s fundamental teaching is love as defined by mercy. This should be the measure of all our relationships.

These Formation Themes are not hierarchical or chronological. An individual moves through them as they are ordered above, but this movement is rarely conscious and daily life requires application of each theme in unique ways and in an infinite variety of circumstances.

All Servite faculty and staff are responsible for applying the Formation Themes through the medium within which they interact with students.

 Faculty members via the classroom experience.  Counselors via their guidance and direction.  Coaches via their respective sports.  Co-curricular directors and moderators via student programs and activities.  Campus ministers via spiritual guidance and development.  Staff members via their modeling and respective interaction with students.

It is through the application and modeling of the Formation Themes within their unique contexts that all members of the faculty and staff are most fully participants in the Formation Program.

 Been explicitly and virtually, exposed to the philosophy, psychology, traditions, and mission of Servite High School and drilled in living and executing their responsibilities according to these principles.

 Come to know, appreciate, live, and grow according to the life and commands of Christ, as seen through the prism of the Servite Order and its high school.

 Developed a healthy knowledge and appreciation for self, taking stock of personal weakness and strengths and how to faithfully address both, all the while trying to ascertain their vocation from God.

 Begun to perfect the intellectual life according to the Servite presentation, via a demanding, fundamental curriculum and successfully assimilate the body of knowledge.

 Learned to more exactly discipline their will towards the good, being guided by the light of faith and reason.

 Recognized their personal limits and therefore the limits of their neighbors, and consequently see the need for and benefit of enhancing their person and those around them through teamwork.

 Engaged in developing and participating in multiple endeavors wherein they recognize the value of teamwork.

 Laid the appropriate foundation for the rigor and demands of the subsequent years by com- pleting the aforementioned in a timely, efficacious manner, and as directed.

The Servite Priory Leadership Program is a comprehensive, hands-on leadership experience intended to give students the opportunity to learn and practice leadership through peer accountability and increased responsibility in all components of the student experience.

The fundamental weakness of most student leadership development programs is their lack of real leadership experience. Real leadership only exists when there is tangible responsibility and direct accountability for other people. With that in mind, there are four fundamental purposes of the Priory Leadership Program:

 Increased responsibility  Peer accountability  Critical understanding of leadership theory  Hands-on leadership experience

By giving students significant responsibility in the operation of the school and direct account- ability for their peers, students will gain the real experience that is required to successfully develop as the kind of leaders prepared to make a difference in their schools, churches, businesses, families, communities, and beyond.

There are two primary components of the Priory Leadership Program. First, the entire student body is divided into eight Priories (a Servite word for a community). Each Priory is comprised of 110-120 students (freshmen through seniors). The Priories are named after the Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order with the addition of “Philip,” one of the primary Servite saints:

 Alexis  Amideus  Bonajuncta (pronounced “bōnăyūnctă”)  Bonfilius  Hugh  Manettus  Philip  Sostene (pronounced “sŏstĭnay”)

Each Priory is led by a senior Prior and six senior or junior Assistant Priors. The Prior and his Assistant Priors are expected to not only lead their Priory through a variety of activities and competitions with the other Priories, but also to uphold and enforce standards regarding moral discipline, academic performance, and leadership. Each Priory is further divided into six Homerooms of approximately 18 students each, freshmen through seniors. Each Homeroom is led by one of the Priory’s six Assistant Priors. Under the direction of the Prior, the Assistant

Priors not only plan but implement their Priory’s goals and objectives within their Home-

rooms. While the work of the Priors and Assistant Priors is continuous, the primary means of implementation of Priory activities is through the Priory Period which occurs twice a week. Each Priory Period is 45 minutes in length and while faculty Proctors are present within each Homeroom for the purpose of guidance and supervision, the plan and its implementation for each period is left entirely in the hands of the Prior and his Assistant Priors.

The second primary component of the Priory Leadership Program is the Priory Committees. Each Priory selects representatives to serve as Committee Members on each of six Priory Committees:

 Academics Committee  Activities Committee  Athletics Committee  Campus Ministry Committee  Communications Committee  Spirit Committee

While the Priors and Assistant Priors focus on programs and activities for their individual Priories, the Priory Committees are charged with the planning and implementation of school- wide programs and activities within their respective areas of focus. These may include inter- Priory competitions or activities (i.e. an inter-Priory Trivia Bowl) or school-wide programs (i.e. Homecoming). Each Committee selects a Committee Chairman who is charged with the primary management and oversight of the Committee.

The management of the entire Priory System is overseen by the Prior General and the other members of the Generalate – the Vicar General, Secretary General, and Treasurer General. The Generalate, in consultation with the Principal and Priory Director, determines the directives for the Priories and Priory Committees each year. The Generalate is seen by the school administration as the primary representatives of the student body and is often con- sulted on a variety of school matters, large and small.

The traditional ASB model is typically activity-based. Student leaders execute tasks related to the implementation of campus programs that are in large part pre-packaged (most are annual events – school dances, pep rallies, fundraisers, etc.). Beyond a set list of activities, student leaders have limited responsibility for campus life and, similarly, have very little accountability for the behavior of their peers. The Servite Priory Leadership Program gives student leaders much greater responsibility for the operation of the school and makes all students account- able to each other for their performance in all areas of campus life.

Trinity Corporation leadership participates in a variety of jobs that help them gain a wide range of work experience. The CEO and Vice Presidents work in retail operations, food services, human resources, marketing and facilities support. Last year, their hard work resulted in $181,000 in net income directly to financial aid, which then allowed an additional 65 students to receive awards...a true reflection of brothers helping brothers.

The purpose of Trinity Corporation is to generate money for financial aid. Trinity Corporation provides student interns with real life work experiences. This serves to give the interns an understanding of ethical and moral business practices.

Originally, Servite High School offered an informal financial aid program to serve the needs of students. In 2004, at the recommendation of the Servite Provincial, the school sought to establish a formal system that would offer families a way to bridge the gap between the cost of tuition and what they received through financial aid. In 2006, the leadership was formed.

Trinity Corporation chain of command is comprised of a Chief Executive Officer and four Vice Presidents and 25 Department Manager positions. These management positions are a fulfillment of Servite’s Leadership Program and prepares our young men to enter the world as Faith-Filled working professionals. Most recently, members of Trinity Corporation have been offered paid internships at major local businesses and admission into prestigious universities based on their involvement in the Trinity Corporation.

If a student is receiving financial aid, he must fulfill a work commitment of 40 hours. Once fulfilled, each additional hour worked will credit $8.50 towards his tuition costs, up to a maximum of $2,000.Students who are not receiving financial aid may also participate. For each hour worked, stu- dents earn a credit of $8.50 which is applied directly to tuition costs. All student interns must main- tain a GPA of 2.5.

Without the leadership provided by the Her Servants' student team and the commitment of our volunteers, this ministry would not have grown. Thank you to everyone who has sup- ported Her Servants' Kitchen with your donations, time and prayer. April 2008 – Servite began a weekly outreach called Her Servants' Kitchen. Each Thursday - in the Servite tradition of ser- vice to others - the young men beg food, prepare dinner and serve it to a community of home- less men and women who live in and around La Palma Park in Anaheim. This student led minis- try has never missed a Thursday and to date, has served more than 21,000 meals.

The Servite men provide more than just a meal, they offer friendship, prayer and hope to a community that has become friends. In the beginning 12 -20 meals were served each week, soon that grew to 60 then 80 and now from 90-100. What started as a few volunteers has be- come 12 student leaders joined by members of the assigned priory and other students and guests who enjoy serving others.
