FALL 2018 | 1 FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Rosati-Kain Family and Friends,
At our kolleague retreat prior to the first day of school, I asked the faculty and staff to give me one word that explains the Rosati-Kain mission. I was curious as to what one word they believed most fully describes who Rosati-Kain is and what Rosati-Kain actually does for our students, their families, our local community, and the world. I wanted to evaluate if what our mission statement says we do is actually what we do.
After all the words were submitted via text to a word cloud, we each shared why we selected our particular descriptor. Many of the explanations started off with the preface that there is no ONE word that describes who we are and what we do. Clearly, we educate students on course content, but the high school experience of our girls is so much greater than gaining facts and information. It is even more than learning to apply that information to their daily lives or to think critically about how various pieces of information are connected to each other.
Our kolleagues, male, female, married, single, parents, alumnae, and a variety of ages, represented a vast array of perspectives, but there were certain sentiments about who we are as the Rosati-Kain community that came through loud and clear. Rosati-Kain is thriving and vibrant and life-giving. As a community, we are caring, inspiring, and diverse. We educate, empower, transform, and love our girls and each other. As we play, pray, laugh, and cry together, we learn to respect and regard as truly holy the dignity and beauty of all persons. Our girls will greatly lead, serve, and change the world. They will make a difference. Rosati-Kain is making a difference.
It is clear to me that what happens each day at Rosati-Kain has an impact on many lives near and far. We empower and equip young women to become their best selves. Each day, I hear examples of how our graduates and often our current students, are living out their lives as compassionate, socially-conscious women of integrity. I am assured that our mission is strong and important for our world.
Know that you are always welcome at Rosati-Kain. I would enjoy getting to know each of you.
Dr. Elizabeth Ann Goodwin President of Rosati-Kain High School

COMING HOME “I truly believe that it is a sacred trust for those of us in the alumnae to continue to provide support and be an example to the young women of Rosati-Kain High School. It is our responsibility to continue the tradition and the mission of this wonderful, wonderful gift that we have been given.”
Such was the heart of the powerful message delivered by Sharon Sanders, the 2018 Charism Award recipient, at the Alumnae Mass and Brunch held on Sunday, April 29, 2018.
The Charism Award is presented annually at the Alumnae Mass and Brunch to the R-K alumna who has given back to Rosati-Kain and the broader community. Charism is defined as “a living passion for whatever dimension of the life of Christ is needed now.” No one exudes “living passion” like Sharon Sanders. became a manager and client counselor at Equitable Life, John Sharon graduated from Rosati in Hancock, and Phoenix Mutual Life. 1963 as valedictorian, Student Council President, participant in the speech In 1987, Sharon went out on her own league, and member of the debate and co-founded the financial planning team.

Sharon delivered her remarks to a packed room of proud alumnae — the largest gathering that we have had for this mission-filled, celebratory event. Along with Sharon, alumnae came together to celebrate and recognize the classes of ’38, ’43, ’48, ’53, ’58, ’63, ’68, ’73, ’78, ’83, ’88, ’93, ’98, ’03, ’08, and ’13.
Maggie McCarthy, class of 2013, and member of the Alumnae Association Leadership Committee, delivered the welcome address, remarking that “we are truly in the presence of some remarkable women. Doctors, nurses, lawyers, entrepreneurs, educators, administrators, mothers, wives, sisters, aunts, and daughters — each of those accomplishments is truly something to celebrate, and that is what we are here to do today!

FALL 2018 | 5 KALEIDOSCOPE DINNER AUCTION Oh, what a night! Rosati-Kain High School embarked on its first-ever Kaleidoscope Dinner Auction on February 17, 2018. The inaugural event brought together current families, alumnae, and members of the community to celebrate all of the wonderful things about R-K.
The theme of Kaleidoscope is borrowed from a tradition at R-K from the 1960s and 1970s, the Kaleidoscope Festival, which was a celebration of the arts.

14 | FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Every day, our students are encouraged to pray, asking God for integrity, justice, and peace as they live their lives as women of faith.
Dear Rosati-Kain Community,
So often in my career as an educator, I have heard comments like “it’s really hard to be a teenager these days.” Honestly, my initial reaction falls somewhere along the lines of “how cliché.” The longer I do this work, though, the more convinced I become of the underlying truth and the unique challenges faced by today’s young people. Considerable pressure, even before middle-school, is applied to conform to increasingly distasteful behavior, most especially with social media.
By the time a young Rosati-Kain woman walks across the altar of the Cathedral Basilica at graduation, she is asked to reflect upon, and whenever possible, embody the four charisms upon which our school was founded. We focus on a single charism each year. So, by the time they graduate, our students will have formed a deeper understanding of charity, humility, wisdom, and virtue. Our focus this school year is the charism of Virtus. Virtus is one of the two core values we received from the School Sisters of Notre Dame. Virtus means we pursue good and always give the best of ourselves. Every day, our students are encouraged to pray, asking God for integrity, justice, and peace as they live their lives as women of faith.
Our society and culture’s use of social media makes it increasingly difficult for young women to pursue good and to present their best selves whenever possible. The tandem rise of smartphone usage and adolescent anxiety speaks volumes to the unique challenges faced by teenagers today. Long gone are the days when kids would pull the house phone cord (landline located in the kitchen) as taut as possible to eke out a “private” phone conversation. There is virtually no time “off” from our connected world.
Needless to say, we have our work cut out for us. We, at Rosati-Kain teach our students to follow the path of Virtus, especially as it applies to their use of social media. Whenever remotely relevant to their class, teachers encourage and promote the responsible use of social media. We discuss and reflect upon real-life examples of social media posts and we discuss the impact of these posts on their future enrollment in universities and future employment in the workplace.
Please continue to pray for us in our work of forming and empowering young women to lead and serve the world.
Mr. Terence McNamee Principal of Rosati-Kain High School

Faculty Perspective: BRYAN K ASTEN Graduation is a solemn experience. It is indeed the last hurrah for each class. For me, it was my last hurrah as well and more meaningful because of it. It was a pleasure and great privilege to be able to read each student’s name and see her come forward to receive her diploma. For the girls, at that point in their lives, it is the pinnacle of their success. However, we faculty members know it is only a part of the beginning of achievements in their lives. Many will go on to become doctors, teachers, social workers, mothers, and for most, eventually, grandmothers, and they will have and know and feel much greater accomplishment then. However, in that moment, at this point in their lives, graduation is the great goal these young women have achieved, and it’s always a pleasure to be a part of it. Thank you, Class of 2018.

FALL 2018 | 19 BREAK-A-LEG, Rosati-Kain From the beginning of Rosati-Kain High School, we have always strived for academic excellence. We have also loved to use our imaginations and creativity, and to just have fun with our fellow R-K sisters. In 1912, both the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet and the School Sisters of Notre Dame helped the students perform short plays for one another and special guests visiting the school. Only after moving to Lindell and Newstead did the tradition of “The Senior Play” start. The girls wrote, produced, and played all parts for faculty, parents, and fellow students on the stage in the Cathedral Grade School on the evening of Class Night.
Alumnae Association 1920s –1940s Drama Club In 1924, Miss Regina Sexton was hired In the fall of 1922, the Rosati-Kain as the first lay teacher at Rosati-Kain.
