Dear Friends of RCHS,

ast year at the Annual Communion Breakfast, I had the opportunity to present to the gathered Alumni the particulars of the Vision of Promise Campaign. This 4-Phased Lcampaign, seeks to completely reenvision Roman Catholic High School. With the establishment of a Center-City campus, the students enrolled in RCHS will have additional high-tech classrooms, dedicated space for the visual and performing arts, expanded course offerings in the sciences and technology and additional opportunities for physical health & wellness. It is our goal, with the Vision of Promise Campaign, to enable a High School experience at Roman Catholic second-to-none! Reverend Joseph W. Bongard ’77 President/Rector The details of our exciting Vision of Promise Campaign are presented in this edition of The Empire, along with our Annual Report. The most frequently asked question has been: When Roman Catholic High School will all this be built? The short answer to that question is – When we raise the money – and that [email protected] depends on YOU! So far, through the success of our fundraising initiatives and the generosity of benefactors, we are scheduled to begin construction of Phase 1 in the Spring of 2017. Yet, much more needs to be done. The costs associated with this endeavor are approximately 25 million dollars. It may take several years to acquire these funds, but with the passion and commitment of our benefactors, we are very optimistic. To complete the project, we will need the support of every alum and all friends of Catholic High, to consider helping the Cahillites of today and tomorrow, by making a sacrificial gift to this game-changing campaign. On behalf of the students of Roman Catholic High School, I extend our heartfelt gratitude for the generosity expressed in this Annual Report. Through your support, Roman has earned a wonderful reputation as a school of excellence, with high standards in academics, athletics and co-curricular programs. For that, we are eternally grateful! Sincerely,

Reverend Joseph W. Bongard ’77 2015–16 Annual Report 3 Roman Catholic High School A Vision of Promise

“There is nothing like a dream to create the future.” Victor Hugo

The enthusiasm for the school has created a strong demand for admissions. Over the last several years, Roman Catholic’s enrollment has grown steadily. With an average daily attendance of 97% and a college placement of 96%, Roman has become the model of an urban educational success story. Yet, while there is a desire to provide educational opportunities to more students, we are hampered by space constraints. To grow our enrollment and to sustain our level of success, we need to provide our students with more – and more modern – spaces. With the unwavering support of our students, alumni, trustees, and the Board of Advisors, Roman Catholic High School has embarked on a transformational campaign to provide programs  and facilities that will enable our students to actualize their potential as lifelong learners and leaders equipped to make a difference in our world. Our campaign is entitled: A Vision of Promise. 1890 Building The Plan Roman Catholic High School was founded With the application of educational best-practices, in 1890 through the vision and generosity of a a new reimagined 21st Century Campus for a Philadelphia businessman, Thomas E. Cahill. Mr. 21st-Century Education has been adopted. The Cahill believed that young men should have access Master Plan is anchored by the existing, iconic 1890 to an affordable, challenging, and rigorous morals- building at Broad & Vine Streets. With the addition based education. Since the school opened 125 years of new properties, the Plan envisions an expanded ago, more than 20,000 young men have received a campus providing students with additional high- high quality, comprehensive education. The vision tech classrooms and facilities for developing their of Thomas Cahill has been maintained through the abilities in the visual and performing arts, promoting dedication of generations of students, faculty, and their knowledge in the sciences and technology, and alumni and with the support of local civic, business, expanding their opportunities for physical health and and philanthropic leaders. overall development. The Master Plan promotes a campus expansion that will proceed in four phases. With over 950 young men, Roman reflects a wonderful cross section of the Delaware Valley. In addition to racial and religious diversity, Roman Renaissance Hall Catholic students exhibit diversity in academic ability, economic status, and geographic location. Presently, our student body draws from 160 different elementary schools (Catholic, public, charter, and private as well as home-schooled students). The school’s Center-City location offers a wide range of cultural and historic resources within walking distance. Additionally, the structured environment at Roman provides a supportive community where our young men are challenged to do their best, accept responsibility, and take ownership of their personal and educational growth.

2015–16 Annual Report 5 A Vision of Promise Phase 1 Visual and Performing Arts

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” Pablo Picasso

The Arts provide an opportunity to express emotions and articulate perspectives. Students convey their dreams and intuitions in the variety of mediums offered by the arts. In Phase 1 of the Master Plan, Roman is making a strategic commitment to provide the appropriate resources to enrich our students’ educational experience. This Center for Visual and Performing Arts will substantially alter the arts environment at Roman Catholic and Avenue of the Arts, North. In 2015, a property was purchased at 13th & Wood Streets that will form the locus of Roman’s Visual and Performing Arts Program. The center will address not only present urgent needs of the Music, Choral, Art and Drama Programs, but will allow for their future growth and expansion. The Center will provide rehearsal space for music and choral, along with private, individual lesson rooms. Included in the design are dedicated choral and ceramic studios, along with classroom space for drama and mixed media. Space has also been allocated for a Computer- Aided Design (CAD) lab and a Digital Photography classroom. The music program will be enhanced with the addition of a piano lab along with appropriate storage space for instruments, music, and art supplies as well as offices for instructors. To provide students with the latest supports for developing their artistic abilities, advanced technologies will be integrated throughout the building A major component of the design of this new space is the creation of a small Black Box Theatre. All of the Performing Arts, Music, Choral, and Drama Programs will be able to practice, perform, and exhibit their artistic works in this intimate setting. When completed, this space will be made available to local Philadelphia arts groups for small dramatic and musical productions.

2015–16 Annual Report 7 A Vision of Promise Phase 3 The Field House

“Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.” Michael Jordan

As educators agree, athletics teach valuable life lessons that cannot be learned in a book or in a classroom – lessons about sacrifice, commitment, team-spirit, competition, the glory of victory, and the handling of defeat. Roman has been a traditional athletic powerhouse in the Philadelphia region, and our new Field House, to be built above the STEM Center, will provide athletic facilities that reflect our school’s reputation. With seating for approximately 1,200 spectators, the Field House will afford space for practice and competition for our sporting programs. An indoor track suspended above the floor will eliminate the need for Roman athletes to run through the school’s halls for conditioning. In addition to locker rooms, the Field House will Field House with contain facilities for the athletic trainer and the Suspended Track athletic administration offices. The Field House will also provide a much needed venue for a variety of other vital school needs and programs such as educational assemblies, social events, parent meetings, dances, and award ceremonies. As with the Fine Arts Center, the Field House will be made available to local youth programs, community groups, and area non-profits. The addition of the Field House will benefit the athletic programs at Roman, allowing us to host city & PIAA events, which will make it a valued community asset.

8 Roman Catholic High School A Vision of Promise Phase 4 The 1890 Building Reimagined

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” John F. Kennedy

Broadening the programs and spaces available for our students as envisioned in Phases 1, 2, and 3 of A Vision of Promise, will allow for the expansion of critical services and supports for our educational program. Additional updated space will be allocated to our College Careers and Counseling Center, as well as the Academic Affairs, Admissions, and Student Affairs offices. The majority of the present gym space will be repurposed into an auditorium. To be designed in concert with Roman’s Gothic Revival style building, the auditorium will provide space for class meetings, lectures, small assemblies, and study halls. The remainder of the gym area will be transformed into a chapel. This will provide an appropriate sacred space, large enough for communal as well as private devotions and spiritual exercises.
