www.palmaschool.org Palma School President’s Report 2020 1 President’s Message

Hindsight is such a beautiful thing. Incredibly accurate when you are 50 years old, not as much at the age of 17. As with most graduates, students are often eager to break free from high school life and its rules and regulations, often for excellent reasons. These young adults are no different from us, they are ready to set their own schedules, their own paths, and their own life decisions. For most, it will take years and many of life’s challenges for them to comprehend and look back at their younger years and the impact, positive or negative, it had on them.

I too was ready to break free in 1988 to chart my own course. It took years for me to understand that the foundation for many of the decisions I have made and paths I have taken were materialized in my early years at Palma. In hindsight, I am fortunate that my parents committed to sending both my brother and me to Palma when it was far from easy for them financially. Choices between fixing cars and household appliances or paying the tuition were monthly discussions. Looking back, I know these could not have been easy times for them, but I am lucky today they Chris Dalman ’88, President had the forethought of knowing it would be the best they could offer their sons.

Luckily, over these past 32 years, Palma has made a clear commitment to helping families in this same predicament. Palma has committed each year hundreds of thousands of dollars to make our school a reality for all families who are in need, a commitment that honors the very principles of our founder, Blessed Edmund Rice. This aid is raised and generated by the hundreds of Palma families and alumni who have seen what a Palma education can provide for their boy. If you would consider helping Palma becoming a reality for another young man in our community, “Palma has committed each year please let me know. I’d love to talk with you about how we can make hundreds of thousands of dollars this happen. to make our school a reality to I look forward to seeing you all again as well as connecting with our thousands of alumni who have called Palma more than a school for the all families who are in need, a past 69 years. commitment that honors the very principles of our founder,

Chris Dalman Blessed Edmund Rice.” President

2 Palma School President’s Report 2020 831.422.6391 Board of Directors Chairman’s Message

Where to begin? COVID-19, economic shutdown, Zoom, face masks, civil discord, and now wildfires. “That is so 2020,” as the new saying goes. I hope that each of you and your loved ones are healthy and well.

At Palma, at least, not all 2020 headlines are troublesome. The big news, of course, has been in the President’s office. After over 30 years under the guidance of Brother Dunne, we are blessed to have Chris Dalman as our new President. The Board recognizes how fortunate we are to have someone who has seen the school as a student, alum, parent, teacher, and dean. Each hat Chris has worn throughout the years gives him valuable insight into all aspects of Palma. Nearly two months into his new role, he continues to impress me with his dedication and leadership. We are excited by what the future will bring with Chris at the helm.

As we begin a new (and very different) school year, I want to thank a number of folks. Thank you to the faculty and staff at Palma who have Eric Mueller ’01, Chairman of the Board worked diligently over the summer to prepare for whatever this next school year may bring.

Thank you also to those benefactors who have continued to support the school, even in the face of economic uncertainty. Your contributions generate an even greater impact during these times. On a related note, a special thank you to those who have been instrumental in reestablishing the Palma Foundation. Overcoming the challenges 2020 has thrown at them is remarkable. We are fortunate to have this fine institution supporting the mission of Palma School. “Thank you also to those And finally, thank you to our parents who trust us to provide your sons benefactors who have continued with an extraordinary Edmund Rice Christian Brother education — online and (hopefully soon) in person. I appreciate your commitment to to support the school, even in the this wonderful place we call Palma. face of economic uncertainty. One final thought, an English proverb that comes to mind: “a smooth sea never made a skilled mariner.” My hope is that each of you gain new Your contributions generate an knowledge, skillsets, or wisdom as we navigate a wild 2020 (over Zoom, wearing masks). even greater impact during

What a special place this is! Despite our transition to online learning, Palma continues to set the bar higher than the rest. Our students stay engaged and our teachers are present to them in a myriad of uncommon commitments to their preparedness for leadership at the next levels. Our students are earning valid grades here and they are showing up to class from their own homes, where others are merely provided “passing” grades whether students are truly present or not.

Palma keeps its promise of developing men of character. Like you, we did not predict remote learning to finish our previous school year and to commence the current one. We are well aware that 2020 is rife with adversity, and we choose to see it as opportunities for the “teachable moment.” Like you we are confronted with ample amounts of adversity: pandemic, social distancing, online learning, losses in income, racial unrest, fires, displacement, and socio-political extremes. The genuineness of our faith the world over — being more precious than gold that, though perishable — is being tested by fire (1 Peter 1:7). But here our boys of David Sullivan, Principal promise are being held to a higher standard while embracing the challenges and committing themselves to the grind. Here they become men of character who are growing through, and even because, of adversity. It takes more to be a Chieftain and I marvel at the golden the margins. We are prepared to pivot nimbly and efficiently mettle of our graduates who acquire knowledge, service and leadership into a hybrid model of cohort learning when the powers that from their sacrifices and commitments of hard work here at Palma. be determine it safe to do so.

It’s safe to say we’ll never forget 2020. Normal life looks a lot different these days, especially in education. But there is one thing that hasn’t changed at Palma School: our students’ education and safety are our highest priority!

Philanthropy means different things to different people, but in the end, each gift is not just about its dollar amount; it is about providing opportunity. That opportunity may mean that an extraordinary and deserving student can attend Palma because of tuition assistance, or it may mean members of the faculty can bring new teaching methodologies to the classroom, sparking new learning experiences for their students. Or it may mean that Palma can be forward thinking and upgrade the campus infrastructure with fiber optics and purchase AirPods for all teachers for seamless hybrid teaching.

For generations, the philanthropy of Palma donors has been the foundation of the school’s growth and resilience. Time and time again, Tracy Jones, Institutional Advancement Palma families, alumni and friends point to our enthusiastic, diverse, respectful and supportive community as the heart of what makes the school strong.

6 Palma School President’s Report 2020 831.422.6391 The “Ful-ness” of Palma

Uncertainty seems to be the order of the day in 2020. Concern over COVID-19 has changed almost every aspect of life precipitating a model of business as “unusual.” It’s challenging to make things as normal as possible when normal no longer exists. So why then does Palma continue to thrive? The answer lies in the “ful-ness” of Palma.

PRAYERFUL HELPFUL Embracing the Essential Elements of an Edmund Rice Regular communication with students and parents, outside of Christian Brother Education doesn’t just apply to classroom instruction, bridges the gap between home life and students. The faculty and staff of Palma School fully subscribe to the performance during class time — virtual or otherwise. Being helpful meaning and practice of spiritual growth; recognizing its value. Through means working with families to achieve the best possible outcome for daily prayer and retreats, Palma expresses prayerful concern for their sons. students, families, the community and our world.

RESOURCEFUL MEANINGFUL Teaching at Palma starts with understanding fully that The universal goal of secondary education is for students we are stewards of the investment being made by to reach a standard by which they have met the state’s families and supporters. As a result, extraordinary means are employed minimum requirements to advance. Palma’s goal is to far exceed to ensure each dollar is used wisely and passes a simple test: does this established standards and to also instill in young men the value of a expenditure benefit our students? We cannot afford to throw money at meaningful life — helping them find and learn how to fulfill the purpose problems. Instead, we throw ourselves into collaborative and creative of their life. problem solving.

HOPEFUL MINDFUL Hope springs from faith, no matter what form that Everyone’s circumstance is different and is not always faith is borne. Hope is also the byproduct of what appearances would lead us to believe. We make confidence. Knowing in one’s heart that their endeavors will bear fruit a conscious effort to bear this in mind and not take for granted our and provide value, even the value of the lesson learned in failure, fuels obligation to be responsive and patient when there is need. the uncommon motivation to continually move forward.

GRATEFUL POWERFUL More than just on campus, we live our lives with gratitude Engaging the marginalized, those whose circumstances and a deep appreciation for our families and the trust they have left them abandoned, homeless, imprisoned or in have placed in us. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve, to learn, specialized care, creates an awareness of the sacredness to grow and to be an influential part of a young man’s life. Every person of life. Compassion begets understanding and action, removes barriers on our campus takes seriously their role as a mentor; to be an example and allows one to better empower those around them. Chieftains learn of integrity and character. that power is derived from sharing it rather than from demanding it. They also learn that dignity is a human right. The “ful-ness” of Palma is difficult to contain. It permeates how we approach education, how we perceive our place in it and how we feel about SKILLFUL our school community. Being a skilled educator is being cognizant that one never stops learning. Professional development leads to Love is seldom the first word that comes to mind when you think of a mastering best practices and the effective uses of technology. It is school for boys. At Palma School, it’s what drives us. Love in all its knowing that teaching is relational and that positive collaboration with “ful-ness.” l parents and colleagues yields productive learning that’s ripe for growth.
