6 History of the Archmere Academy Seal

Saint Norbert founded the Norbertine Order in Premontre, France in 1120AD. The two Fleur-de-lis on the top left of the Archmere shield, taken from the shield of Saint Norbert Abbey in DePere, Wisconsin, represents France. Saint Norbert is represented by the sheep shears and the angled Saint Andrew cross, taken from Saint Norbert’s family crest. Abbot Bernard H. Pennings, O.Praem.(1861-1955), a native of Holland,was the first abbot of Saint Norbert Abbey (1925-1955) and the founder of Archmere in 1932. Abbot Pennings is represented by a flower in the lower left of the Archmere shield, a flower taken from the Pennings family crest. Mr. and Mrs. John J. Raskob moved to the estate called Archmere in 1910, an estate so named by the previous owner (1873-1910) Mr. George M. Troutman. The name Archmere (through the Arch to the “mer,” French for sea or the Delaware River) is represented by the six arched pine trees. Archmere Academy was dedicated in 1932 to the Blessed Virgin Mary, under the title, The Immaculate Conception. Our Lady is represented by the crescent moon in the upper left side of the Archmere shield, and by the crown on top of the world, on the upper right side. Most Reverend Edmond J. FitzMaurice, bishop of Wilmington (1925-1960), dedicated Archmere Academy on October 12, 1932. Bishop FitzMaurice is represented by the sunburst in the lower right side of the Archmere shield, taken from the FitzMaurice crest. Archmere’s school motto is Pietate et Scientia (Reverence and Wisdom) It was the abbatial motto of Most Reverend Gummarus Crets, O.Praem., Abbot of Averbode Abbey in Belgium (1887-1942) and Abbot General of the Norbertine Order (1922-1937).

7 Mission Statement of Archmere Academy

Archmere Academy is a Catholic, Norbertine college preparatory school, valuing community, respect, zeal, reverence, and wisdom. Nurturing body and soul, mind and heart, Archmere focuses on the whole person through academic excellence, faith reflection, social development, and service to others. Inspired by its heritage, Archmere cultivates empathetic leaders – young men and women prepared for every good work.

8 Archmere History 1910-2020

From 1910 until 1931, Archmere was the beautiful country estate of John J. Raskob, his wife, Helena Springer Green, and their 12 children. Chairman of the Board of General Motors and Vice President in charge of finance for the DuPont Company, Raskob was recognized as one of the most successful and influential financiers of his time. Between 1916 and 1918, the Raskobs had constructed on their 48 acre property an elaborate home, The Patio, a fine example of Italianate, Renaissance architecture, and Manor Hall, a servants’ quarters. While the Raskobs lived at Archmere, the house was alive with activity. During the presidential campaign of 1928, Archmere was the scene of many meetings of the Democratic National Committee. Raskob was campaign manager for the party’s presidential nominee, Governor of New York. The history of Archmere as a college preparatory school began in the spring of 1932 when Bernard Pennings, Abbot of the DePere Abbey, then the only Norbertine foundation in the United States, made what must at the time have seemed a risky decision to purchase the Raskobs’ Delaware River Estate for $300,000. In the spring of 1932, Rev. Michael McKeough, O.Praem. was assigned as the school’s first Headmaster. Three other Norbertines from Wisconsin, and three laymen joined Fr. McKeough to comprise the pioneer faculty. The school opened in September with an enrollment of 22 students; 16 freshman and 6 sophomores. Archmere was officially dedicated on October 12, 1932, the late Bishop Edmond Fitz Maurice of Wilmington presiding. Archmere’s growth was a gradual but highly gratifying one to Fr. McKeough. By 1933, the enrollment had risen to 50 students and by 1934 to 72. In the summer of 1936, Fr. McKeough was succeeded as Headmaster by Rev. Daniel Hurley, O.Praem., who faced the challenge of guiding the school through the uncertain years of the Depression and World War II. Yet the enrollment continued to grow and minor changes were made to The Patio and The Manor to accommodate boarding students. In February 1939, the school’s first gymnasium was completed, and by September 1940, The Manor had been converted into a science center. The 1930’s for the pioneers at Archmere were a decade of triumph over early adversities. Archmere entered the 1940’s with a sense of confidence well founded on its successful, although infant, years. During the 1945-46

9 academic year, illness forced Fr. Hurley’s return to the Norbertine Abbey in DePere, Wisconsin and until September 1946, Fr. Roger Paider, O.Praem. served as Headmaster. At that time Rev. Justin Diny, O.Praem., who had taught in the school from 1937 to 1944, was recalled from Wisconsin to become the fourth Headmaster in Archmere’s history. In his first year as Headmaster, Fr. Diny made the decision to consolidate the school’s operations, turning it into strictly a four year college preparatory institution. The seventh grade was phased out during the 1946-47 school year and the eighth grade the following year. And still enrollment continued to grow, nearly doubling the 1940-41 figure of 72. Archmere continued its growth as a boarding and day school for boys. On October 12, 1957, the Archmere community celebrated its 25th anniversary. As part of the commemoration, ground was blessed and broken for St. Norbert Hall. It was dedicated on November 8, 1959. Still further construction was required to meet the needs of an increasing student body, and in 1967 the Field House was opened while plans were in the making for a dedicated science facility. By the end of the 60’s, the student body reached 394 (including a noticeable number of sons of alumni) and faculty members numbered 26 (eight Norbertines and 18 laymen.) The Justin E. Diny Science Center was dedicated on October 28, 1973. The classrooms and laboratories contain facilities in the disciplines of physics, chemistry, biology and environmental science. The old science laboratory, The Manor, was now dedicated to the Arts, an expanding program of the 1970’s which incorporated the school’s chorus, band, theater and studio art programs. In 1975, facilities for boarding students were discontinued and for the first time in its history, Archmere became exclusively a day school. Archmere announced its decision to become a co-educational institution beginning in September of 1975. Fifty young women became a part of a student body of 372. The presence of girls at Archmere made an immediate impact. During the latter part of the 1970s, the school saw the need to establish a Board of Trustees. The Board held its first meeting on June 16, 1980. Abbot John E. Neitzel, O.Praem. chaired the Board from 1980 to 1989. The 1980s were years of growth and change. By 1982, major advances in curriculum and extracurricular activities were underway. The continued expansion of programs in the arts and the enthusiasm of the students for their new opportunities made plain to the Board of Trustees that the school’s facilities were inadequate to meet the demands of an eager, energetic

10 administration, faculty and student body. At the same time, other curricular advancements – the new Computer Science program, the Writing Center, and a broader program in languages – all augmented the pressure to update and enlarge Archmere’s facilities. The result was approval by the Trustees to convert some present facilities in St. Norbert Hall to entirely new uses and to construct a major addition to the building. The library was too small to accommodate the needs of the student body but it would provide suitable space for the computer laboratory, faculty offices, and tutoring services of the language department. The auditorium, now also too small to seat all the students and faculty and too confined for the scale of recent drama productions, would conveniently house a new library and media center on two floors. The new construction would create a theater/auditorium to seat 750. The Manor, shared by both art and music students, would be available entirely for work in the visual arts. Ground was broken by Abbot Neitzel for a new library and 750 seat new theatre on March 17, 1982 and the new complex was completed in the fall of 1983. More than half of the student body became involved in the music and drama programs, creating a concert band and chorus, a select choral group known as the Mastersingers and a Stage Band. Rev. Joseph McLaughlin, O.Praem., became headmaster in 1983, succeeding Father Diny. Father McLaughlin worked with a new administrative structure of three deans: academics, finances, and student life. In 1984, Father McLaughlin chose Michael Marinelli to be Director of Development. In 1997, Rev. Timothy Mullen, O.Praem. ’65 became the school’s sixth Headmaster and the first alumnus to serve in this capacity. The 1990s have also seen a tremendous growth in technology. The campus was completely networked so that technology could be integrated into classroom instruction. The Writing Center and Computer Lab as well as the Science Labs have all been updated to keep pace with the demands of current technology. In the summer of 1998, the A.V. Room of the Library was converted into a high tech Computer Multi-Media Center. On January 29, 2004, Fr. Mullen passed away unexpectedly and Rev. Michael Collins, O.Praem. ’68 was appointed as Archmere’s seventh Headmaster. Fr. Collins served Archmere as Headmaster from February 11, 2004 until June 30, 2004. On July 1, 2004 the Board of Trustees selected Rev. John C. Zagarella, O.Praem. as Archmere’s eighth Headmaster. Fr. Zagarella was delighted and excited to be a part of Archmere’s first capital campaign in over 20 years. The Campaign for Archmere: Building on Mission & Heritage was announced in the fall of 2003. The Campaign’s goal included the completion

11 of the Justin E. Diny Science Center, including a media center and two- story physics lab for hands-on learning; the construction of a Student Life Center, which houses the campus dining and worship as well as a health, guidance and counseling suite; renovations to the Gym’s ground floor (women’s and men’s lockers, fitness center and coaches offices); and athletic field refurbishments. Under Fr. Zagarella’s leadership, Archmere renewed its relationship with Daylesford Abbey, ensuring continued support for Archmere’s mission as a Catholic school in the Norbertine tradition. On July 28, 2006, Fr. McLaughlin became Headmaster again, completing the remaining four years of Fr. Zagarella’s term; he had been serving as chaplain at Archmere since 2001. After Fr. McLaughlin indicated that he would not be available in 2010 for another term as headmaster, the Board of Trustees conducted a search and selected Dr. Michael A. Marinelli, ’76, to serve as Archmere’s tenth headmaster, beginning on July 1, 2010. Michael had served as Archmere’s Director of Development from 1984 to 1996. Since taking office, Michael has overseen the move of the offices for Admissions, Advancement, Finance and Headmaster to the Patio, with ongoing renovations and restoration of the historic building. The Comprehensive Campaign for Archmere (2014- 2017) provided resources for the renovation of Saint Norbert Hall, the main classroom building on campus, as well as additional funds for scholarship and financial assistance. These were a few of the many initiatives completed with the execution of the 2012 Strategic Plan. A new cycle of planning has begun, with a horizon of 2023. Needless to say, the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020 has presented many challenges to the Academy community that are unique and consequences that have made an impact on nearly every aspect of the lives of everyone. Nevertheless, the spiritual foundations of the Academy provide the guidance and strength to manage through these challenging times, and look optimistically to the future. Archmere is never at rest. The more Archmere continues to change and respond to the challenges of the day, the more it remains dynamically in tune with the adventurous Christian spirit that led to its birth back in 1932. Archmere has blossomed and matured through the years precisely because Archmere’s people, both Norbertine and lay, have never, in either rough or tranquil times, lost touch with the tradition encapsulated in the school motto, PIETATE et SCIENTIA (Reverence and Wisdom).
