JSEA Conferences Reports
Principals:
Once again the JSEA Principals gathered for three full days of conversation, collaboration, and camaraderie at the 2013
Principals' Conference. The location of this year's conference was Scottsdale, AZ, affording the opportunity of visiting
nearby Brophy Prep as well as of enjoying the beautiful climate and landscape of the area. Over fifty principals gatheredfrom across the United States and Canada, including for the first time principals from Jesuit Nativity schools. John Moran(St. Louis University High School) chaired general sessions as he had led the Steering Committee of Jim Coughlin, SJ(McQuaid Jesuit), Greg Harkness, (Rockhurst) and Chris Meyercord (Bellarmine College Prep).
The theme of this year's conference was "Animating the Vision" from the JSEA's "Profile of an Ignatian Educator." From aninspired keynote address delivered by Paul Hogan of Portland Jesuit to small group sessions on technology, evaluation,
learning communities, and fostering student leadership, principals looked at the many ways they animate the vision andspirituality of St. Ignatius in our schools. This conference also featured breakout sessions with the PASE leadership for thefour new provinces, adding a new component to the structure of discussions.
Perhaps best of all, the principals were treated to a wonderful day at Brophy Prep hosted by President Ed Reese, SJ and
Principal Bob Ryan. Principals toured Loyola Academy at Brophy and shared in a moving prayer service honoring the El
Salvadoran martyrs. The day concluded with a feast in Brophy's Great Hall and a tribute to Bernie Bouillette for his years ofservice to the JSEA Principals.

Despite a strong push and a close vote to visit Creighton Prep in Omaha for next year's conference, the principals decided
upon Portland Jesuit as the location for the 2014 conference, and Greg Harkness from Rockhurst will chair a veterancommittee of Jim Coughlin, S.J (McQuaid Jesuit), Brianna Latko (St. Ignatius, Chicago) and Chris Meyercord (BellarmineCollege Prep). - John Moran, National Chair.

Technology:
On November 13, 2013, eighty-one Technology Coordinators and Educational
Technology Specialists gathered in Washington, DC for the National Technology
Coordinators’ conference. The conference theme, “What’s Next: A Vision for
the Future”, challenged the participants to not only think about the future of
Jesuit Education, but also to plan for it! The opening session, led by Eric Castro of
St. Ignatius College Prep, and Michele Williams of Dallas Jesuit, focused
specifically on the classroom of the future – from the learner to the layout. Theirintentional recognition of what has changed over the past several years, as wellwhat will be changing in the next few, certainly spoke to our reality that
educational change is happening faster than ever and we need to be prepared.
We have to not only be prepared, but we have to be extremely mindful of how
the technological advancements enhance what we do in our Jesuit schools.
Although the opening session set the stage for our work, the EdCamp sessions, or
unconference, provided the time and resources to plan for the change. I believethat I can say, with confidence, that the time and space for focusedconversations with others from the JSEA network was once again the mostbeneficial piece of the National conference. Much was accomplished in DC, but
we know that there is more work to be done. When we collaborate and work
together, we are much more effective! The power is the JSEA network.

Assistant Principals:
On November 17, 2013, thirty-eight Academic Assistant Principals and Registrars convened in Houston for their National
conference. During the opening session, participants shared a program, practice, or activity that highlighted their school’s
attention to Cura Personalis. In listening to the participants share their examples of what Cura Personalis looks like in theirschool, it became crystal clear the care of the individual is truly at the center of who we are and what we do in our Jesuit
schools. This opening activity was a nice lead-in to our keynote with Frank Kros from the Upside-Down Organization.
Frank’s message, and presentation, helped us to really know and understand the educational impact of Cura Personalis.
Through our intentional care for the learner, we grow in our understanding of the learners’ needs and the means by which
we can support them accordingly. Although this message rings true and rests upon Ignatian qualities that we value,
engaging in the work is challenging. Thank goodness we built in plenty of time for professional conversation andcollaboration with one another during our EdCamp sessions. Although we did not walk away with all of the answers to ourmany questions, we did leave with a better understanding of why we do what we do and the strength and potential of the
JSEA network.

Expanding the Network – Global Initiatives
In the coming issues of the JSEA Bulletin, we hope to highlight some global initiatives taking place in our network of schools
here in the United States, but also throughout our vast global network of Jesuit secondary education. As General
Congregation has so clearly called us to “act as a universal body with a universal mission,” we are excited to begin further
exploration of the global dimensions of our schools and of collaborative efforts throughout our network. The JSEA’s efforts
with Ignacianos por Haiti exemplify a true commitment to serve the Society’s universal mission. By offering further
examples of current global projects within our schools, we hope to both provide some inspiring ideas and perhaps spark
new conversation as we look to become a globally minded entity…
Strategic planning - St. Louis University High School is in the middle of a year of Strategic Thinking involving over 100 of
their alums, faculty members and experts in a number of areas they have chosen for long term planning to guide SLUH's
future. Global Education is one of the areas selected for strategic goal setting!
Hyde Center for Global Education - BC High is proud to announce the opening of the Hyde Center for Global Education.
Established through a generous gift from BC High alumni Lawrence H. Hyde ’42, The Hyde Center “aims to provide every BC
High student the opportunity to supplement and enhance his classroom education with a globally based, hands-on learning
experience.” One of Mr. Hyde’s main goals in establishing the Hyde Center was that it’s impact reach beyond the walls of
BC High and into our global network. BC High hopes that this goal can become a reality by working with Jesuit schools here
in North America and around the world.
Global Collaboration – Jesuit Network Retreat *(a message from Brophy College Prep) This is the time to fan the spark
ignited by the groundbreaking ICJSE. It is the moment to gather together committed individuals from our schools toparticipate in a working retreat at Brophy College Preparatory’s Manresa Retreat Center in Sedona, AZ. We will take on thetask of creating specific and practical recommendations for all schools to continue to develop and implement this processof collaboration and connections between Jesuit Secondary Schools worldwide. For more information, please visit
http://www.brophyprep.org/jesuit-network-retreat/ *While this retreat is not sponsored by the JSEA, it certainly seems tohave potential that might help guide us in future global efforts!
From the Jesuit Curia in Rome - Take a moment to look at the newly designed webpage of the Secretariat for Secondary
and Pre-Secondary Education http://www.sjweb.info/education/index.cfm The site offers an interesting glimpse of Jesuit
education throughout our global network!

Online Master’s Degree Program at Saint Joseph’s University
JSEA is pleased to announce a new partnership with Saint Joseph’s University in
Philadelphia, PA. Building on SJU’s successful program for aspiring Catholic School
Administrators, the University will be working with the JSEA to offer an online Master’s
Degree in Secondary School Administration. The MS in Jesuit School Leadership will
launch its first cohort in the Summer of 2014. With the exception of a one weekresidency at the start of the program, all instruction and coursework will be offered to acohort consisting exclusively of Ignatian Educators from JSEA schools. Contact Bill
Hobbs (hobbsb@jsea.org) for a program brochure.

Ignatian Leadership Academy
The 3rd JSEA Ignatian Leadership Academy will be held June 24-27, 2014 at the Magnolia Hotel in downtown Denver, CO.
The Academy (ILA) was inaugurated in 2008 to provide an ongoing opportunity for leadership networking among Jesuit
schools. The ILA is geared to all graduates of the JSEA Seminars in Ignatian Leadership presently employed in Jesuit schools
as well as to any member of a Jesuit high school’s administrative team. The ILA national meetings provide opportunities forparticipants to re-visit leadership topics, skills and practices addressed in JSEA Seminars, to address current leadershipchallenges, to further develop their sense of Ignatian spirituality and to renew friendships and networking opportunities.
The Steering Committee – Seamus Walsh (Brophy), Anthony Trudel (University of Detroit), Andy Hendricks (Seattle)
Christopher Parks (McQuaid) and Bernie Bouillette (JSEA) – has planned the agenda which will include a videotaped
question and answer exchange with Janet Hagberg, author of Real Power.
The theme for this ILA is: Living the 4th Year – Soul Leadership in Action. This theme points to the ongoing challenge of
becoming soul-ful Ignatian leaders called to transform the world through the apostolate of Jesuit education. The workshops
and Leadership Fairs will explore lessons learned from our experiences as soul leaders in directing our future responses tochange dynamics in examining experience, reflection and action (myth, belief and norm).
During the ILA meeting, participants will have the opportunity to visit Arrupe Jesuit High School in Denver which will hostan evening with tours of the school and dinner. Registration will take place in the winter.

Ignatian Solidarity Network’s Arrupe Leaders’ Summits for High School Students

School News
Belen Jesuit Student Offers Support to Families Coping with Cancer
Andres Hidalgo, a junior at Belen Jesuit, knows firsthand how cancer can affect not just an individual but a family as well.
Currently in remission, Andres was diagnosed with leukemia last year. The initial diagnosis came as a shock. “At first, it’skind of just like you’re a deer in headlights,” he said. “They kind of tell you ‘cancer,’ and they start explaining stuff and just I
don’t even remember what the doctor said after that. I was kind of just so much in shock.” But Andres has turned his
shocking story into a positive, now he works as a volunteer at the hospital where he has received treatment. He meets withyoung cancer patients and their families to offer support, empathy, and encouragement. Meeting someone who has
experienced the same situation and come out the other side healthy offers hope. We wish Andres and the children hevolunteers with health and happiness.

Brebeuf Jesuit Principal Honored as ISCA Exemplary Administrator of the Year
Congratulations to Greg VanSlambrook, Principal of Brebeuf Jesuit, who wasnamed Indiana School Counselor Association’s Exemplary Administrator of
the Year. The mission of ISCA “is to advance the academic, career, andpersonal/social development of all students through excellence inprofessional school counseling” (www.indianaschoolcounselor.org). The ISCA
selected VanSlambrook to be honored based on the overwhelming support
from Brebeuf Jesuit counselors and staff.
“At Brebeuf, our goal is that each student feels the cura personalis in all of
their interactions with the key staff who support their education and growth-teachers, counselors, and administrators. This takes the work of people whoare devoted to their students, and who are collaborative with each other,”Greg VanSlambrook said.

Cheverus Key Club Feeds 750 Families with Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Drive
Cheverus High School’s Key Club spread a lot of holiday cheer thisyear. The Cheverus Key Club’s annual Thanksgiving Turkey Drive is
one of the largest in New England. Collaborating with more thantwenty-five community organizations, Cheverus Key Club was able todonate Thanksgiving baskets which comprise a full holiday meal for
more than 750 families.
Though this is a Key Club project, the whole Cheverus community
joins in (as you can clearly see in the photo at left, Mark Smith, ascience teacher, dresses up in his turkey suit to help collect donatedturkeys and other Thanksgiving food essentials). Students, faculty,
and families of Cheverus students secured donations and arranged totransport donated goods from local stores, community members,family, and friends. The baskets were given to those individuals andfamilies in need two days before the holiday.

Creighton Prep’s Science Club Recycles for a Cause
The Creighton Prep Science Club has been making donations to the World-Herald's Goodfellows campaign since the 1980s.
The World-Herald's Goodfellows campaign focuses on helping those in need in the Omaha community.
For thirty years, David Dow, a teacher at Creighton Prep and science club founder, has steered the science club not only
toward education but also towards fundraising. The
science club competes in events all over the country
and goes on a big trip each year. The fundraising they
do allows them to finance these trips; however, ten
percent of the money they raise through recycling is
donated to three organizations. Six percent goes toCreighton Prep's Operation Others which provides
food assistance to those in need during the Christmas
holiday and works to educate people about foodinsecurity, three percent is given to World-Herald's
Goodfellows campaign, and one percent is donated toa charity of the club's choosing for that year.
How did they decide on recycling as a funding source?
“Well,” Dow says, "he wanted to do something to
make the world better and improve the environment...The club has recycled more than 1.3 million pounds of materials
since they started."

758 Students Accumulate 30,000 Service Hours in Record Time
Richie Warren, Class of 2000 and Director of Community Service, announced that Jesuit Tampa with a student body of 758
has already accumulated 30,000 service hours for the 2013-2014 school year...and they only needed until November to do
it! These hours include summer mission trips, such as the service trips to Appalachia, Nicaragua, and South Dakota.
Mission trip service hours included hospital visits, building, providing food and clothing, participating in local rituals andcommunity events, and providing vacation bible school.

Solidarity in a World Series Wager
The Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals competed this year for the title of 2013 World Series Champions. De Smet
Jesuit High School and Boston College High School made a World Series wager, betting on their home teams. The losing
school sported the winning team’s banner, the principal and student body president wore the t-shirts of the opposing
baseball team (photographic evidence below), with some local treats shared. At the heart of the wager, however, was a
Corresponding Act of Solidarity. This was described as “Regardless of the victor, both schools will send their next available
mission collection to a charitable in the opposing city (in other words, the De
Smet Jesuit collection will be sent to an organization in Boston by the BC Highstudents and vice versa). Both schools will exchange pennants and display themin their respective student council/government spaces as a reminder of theircollaboration.”
The Boston Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals to win the World Series. Tony
Plein, the Director of Student Activities and Leadership at De Smet Jesuit, said of
the wager, “I know we didn’t exactly solve world hunger with this endeavor but
it was truly an energizing experience for our students and faculty on many levels.
Just as the World Series is bigger than both the Red Sox and the Cardinals
individually, our Jesuit identity is about something much larger than BC High and
De Smet.” The Boston College High School donation is earmarked for Team
Activities for Special Kids in St. Louis whose mission is to “enrich the lives of kids
with special needs by providing athletic and social opportunities. The De Smet
Jesuit collection is going to the Jimmy Fund in Boston which supports the DanaFarber Cancer Institute. The Red Sox and the Jimmy Fund have beencollaborating for sixty years.

Red Cloud Students Share their Stories at National Indian Education Association Conference
TWKO, or Tȟéča Wówapi káǧA Olákȟolkičhiye, a young writers society group on
the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Reservation, had four poets perform at the Rushmore
Plaza Civic Center Theater for the National Indian Education Association
conference. They shared their perspective and emotion on the issues facing young
Native Americans today. Covering subjects ranging from family, lost loved ones,
suicide, and their social life, TWKO moved the audience with their emotive andeloquent delivery.
TWKO joined over 1,500 delegates from around the United States and helped
close the education convention with spoken word performances on the final night.
The National Indian Education Association conference is TWKO’s first public
performance. but it won’t be their last. This fledgling writing program is a joint
project of The Heritage Center at Red Cloud Indian School’s museum educator
Brandi Macdonald and Kate Kelly, an English teacher at Little Wound Middle
School. They see the group, and the poetry they write and perform as “a safe
space for conscious resistance, social change, and societal reform.” Chantel
Roubideaux, a senior at Red Cloud, described her call to write and her passion for
poetry saying, “I love the emotion in other people’s poems. And I love my own
emotions coming out in my own poems.”

Regis High School Talks Religious Literacy with Tony Blair
On Thursday, November 21st, Regis HighSchool’s Comparative Religious Ethics class
was slated to video conference withstudents in the Islamic Educational College
in Jordan with former British Prime Minister
Tony Blair joining remotely. Instead, Mr.
Blair decided to join Regis High School
students in person to discuss religious
literacy. The discussion began with eachschool talking about their communities,
religious stereotypes, and sharing thosebeliefs and customs that they hold mostdear. Eventually the discussion led to talks
on the importance of religious literacy- ”theknowledge of and ability to understanddifferent religions.”
The Tony Blair Faith Foundation’s goal is to offer support to end religious prejudice, conflict, and extremism. The
foundation works to create peaceful coexistence among different religions. The Face to Faith initiative is an educational
program of the Foundation...and brings students of different beliefs and cultural traditions together using digital technology
to connect schools in nineteen countries”
As students were deep into discussion, Mr. Blair walked into the room, surprising the Regis High School students. He joined
in by also sharing his own experiences and then asked students how they overcome religious stereotypes. He also put
himself in the hot seat for a question and answer session. As the discussion ended, Mr. Blair offered a bit of wisdom, saying“we succeed best when we accept the obligation to build bridges of understanding through learning about others’ faith andare prepared to deal in humility and respect with those who don’t understand.” Mr. Blair’s visit marks the first visit by aformer or current Head of Government to the school.

We are always looking for short articles detailing accomplishments, special programs, and other news from JSEA member
schools that may be of interest to the broader association. Articles may be submitted to Bill Hobbs (hobbsb@jsea.org)
or Seanna Sumrak (sumraks@jsea.org).

A Child My Choice
By Robert Southwell, SJ
Let folly praise that fancy loves, I praise and love that Child
Whose heart no thought, whose tongue no word, whose hand no deed defiled.
I praise Him most, I love Him best, all praise and love is His;
While Him I love, in Him I live, and cannot live amiss.
Love's sweetest mark, laud's highest theme, man's most desired light,
To love Him life, to leave Him death, to live in Him delight.
He mine by gift, I His by debt, thus each to other due;First friend He was, best friend He is, all times will try Him true.
Though young, yet wise; though small, yet strong; though man, yet God He is:
As wise, He knows; as strong, He can; as God, He loves to bless.
His knowledge rules, His strength defends, His love doth cherish all;His birth our joy, His life our light, His death our end of thrall.
Alas! He weeps, He sighs, He pants, yet do His angels sing;
Out of His tears, His sighs and throbs, doth bud a joyful spring.
Almighty Babe, whose tender arms can force all foes to fly,Correct my faults, protect my life, direct me when I die!
