Editor Mrs. Catherine G. Thedinger “Each new year offers so many fresh opportunities to learn , mature, have fun, make lasting friendships, and grow into Women of the Word"

I love a new school year. It is a time to welcome back students, faculty and staff and to give a warm welcome to newcomers to the IWA family. It is such an exciting experience to watch a new group of young women, so full of promise and enthusiasm, enter the doors of IWA for the first time. I feel a sense of pride not only for the new falcons but also for the returning students who will serve as role models for this group of freshmen. The start of the new school year is full of opportunities to learn, mature, have fun, make lasting friendships, and grow into the Women of the Word. It is wonderful for me to play a part in making that happen.

There is a lot to be excited about in every aspect of our growing IWA community. TheMothers' Club Board has planned wonderful opportunities for parents to socialize and volunteer together throughout the school year. TheYoung Leaders Program introduced its complete concentration program and expanded its curriculum with a new course entitled Leading with Business, offered in partnership with The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Construction will begin on the new educational building in the next couple of weeks to accommodate our Leadership Program needs, additional classrooms, collaborative student learning areas, student activities, collaborative space for faculty and staff, and our fine arts program.

In order to make these blessings for the school happen, we have begun a $15,000,000 capital campaign to cover the cost of the entire project. The campaign theme is I Am In and I look forward to sharing more about this campaign with you as the year continues. It is my prayer that everyone-- families, alumnae, faculty, staff, board members and friends of IWA see their way to contribute to this campaign. The project is truly needed and I know that together, we can make it happen!

As you can see, there is a great deal to be excited about at IWA and we are extremely grateful for all those who generously serve in all kinds of ways to make IWA an incredible school. With the hard work of our faculty and staff and the support from our larger IWA community, I know it's going to be a great year.

Praised be the Incarnate Word,

Sister Lauren Beck, C.V.I. President

www.incarnateword.org “The graduates of IWA are uniquely poised to charge forward and thrive.”

I have been truly blessed with a wonderful wife, Kim, and three lovely children, Kevin, Lauren, and Allison. It was through my oldest daughter, Lauren, that I was first introduced to Incarnate Word Academy during the spring of 2011. Lauren was finishing up her freshman year at Kingwood High School. Although she was doing well in school and had a solid base of friends, she expressed interest in visiting several Houston area Catholic high schools. Lauren was looking for a smaller high school experience, where the focus was on learning and development in a faith based environment. After a couple of tours, Lauren decided that she wanted to transfer to IWA for her sophomore year.

So, in the fall of 2011, as Lauren kicked off her sophomore year at IWA, I began to learn what this wonderful institution is all about. Beyond the normal classroom experience, I watched as a group of young women from diverse backgrounds were prepared for life’s challenges in a nurturing environment. You see, at IWA, life’s lessons are imparted in a setting where it remains okay to separate right from wrong, where respect for others is the order of the day, and where the Spirit of the Word is ever present. With a rare blend of academic skills, leadership skills, and compassion and empathy for those less fortunate, the graduates of IWA are uniquely poised to charge forward and thrive.

Shortly after being introduced to Sister Lauren Beck, I started to learn about various opportunities to support the school. As the son of a first grade teacher and the husband of a middle school teacher, I have the utmost respect for those who dedicate themselves to teaching and building character in our young people, and I always hoped to play some small part in that process. Whether it has been assisting with the Annual Fund, sitting on the Finance Committee, or serving on the Board of Advisors, my efforts to assist IWA have been very enjoyable and rewarding. I am very grateful to the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament and to the faculty and staff of IWA for making IWA such a special place, and I look forward to serving as the President of the Board of Advisors for the 2015-2016 school year.

Eric L. Self IWA Board of Advisors President

THE EVENT The evening was full of excitement and gratitude at the Omni Houston Hotel on Saturday, April 23, 2015 as more than 350 guests from IWA and the greater Catholic community came together to honor Sister Kevina Keating, CCVI at the 2015 IWA Legacy Gala & Auction, ‘Portraits of Excellence.’ IWA, which has served the Houston area for 142 years, recognized the support and contribution of Sister Kevina to Catholic Education through the years. Revenues from tuition cover just 63% of the costs to operate Incarnate Word Academy. The Legacy Gala plays a central role in helping the Academy close this gap while remaining faithful to the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament's mission to offer reasonable tuition rates without sacrificing the quality of IWA's academics. About 45% of IWA students rely on need-based or merit-based assistance. ‘Portraits of Excellence,’ which raisedof more than $380,000 in support of the Academy, was chaired by Incarnate Word Academy Senior Parent, Ann Silva. Her dedication and leadership resulted in IWA’s most successful Gala & Auction to-date! Additionally, thank you to all of our guests who purchased tables and auction items, or donated auction items, wine for wine pull, and most importantly the parents and other volunteers who donated their time! The night was made possible because of our dedicated volunteer chairs: Mary Ann Cromwell (Clare ’18), Deanna Herreth (Mikayla ’18, Reagan ’16), Janie Herrada (Nadia ’16), Ruba Kaiser (Hannah ’17), Angela Platsas (Lexie ’18), Shewanna Rochon ’82 (Mia ’15), and Victoria Sears (Maddie ’17).

She remained connected to IWA and to the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament throughout her life. She served as president of the Incarnate Word Academy Alumnae Association where she served several terms as Presi- dent and Chair of its Friendship Club. Among a long list of board service, she had the distinct honor of being the first layperson named to the Board of Trustees for the University of Incar- nate Word, San Antonio. She was also a Tustee of the Governing Board of Christopher College (Corpus Christi). Bernice has been listed in American Biographical Institute's Notable Ameri- cans, Personalities of the South, International Biographical Center's The World's Who's Who of Women and the National Social Directory.

She was always proud that she attended Incarnate Word and remained active with the Academy and other alums throughout her life. She served as president of the Incarnate Word Academy Alumnae Association where she served several terms as President. Not only was she a successful businesswoman but she also lived the Gospel values she learned at IWA. She had a real heart for those who struggled. In 1996, Bernice was recognized by Channel 11 as Houston's "Food Angel" for her many years of volunteer work to help those who were less fortunate. Her ministry touched many lives.

Bernice continues to look out for others. In her will she left $400,000 for an endowed scholarship to help students attend IWA who might not otherwise be able to do so because of financial resitrictions.

www.incarnateword.org 2014-2015 FINANCIAL REPORT

Incarnate Word Academy, founded in 1873 in Houston, Texas, is owned and operated by the Congregation of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament. The revenue and expenses listed below include only the activities of the Academy. For the fiscal year 2014–2015, our tuition revenue (net of Scholarships/Financial Aid awarded) represented 73% of our total revenue. While it costs the Academy almost $14,000 to educate a student, our tuition was only $12,000. For additional funding necessary to finance the full cost of education at IWA, the Academy relied mainly on assistance from the Congregation, fundraising events and the generous support provided by foundations, alumnae, parents and friends of the Academy.

Incarnate Word Academy is audited annually. The audited reports are on file at the Academy. The financial report below is a non-audited statement.
