VikingThe Magazine for Alumni, Parents, Grandparents and Friends of Archbishop Wood High School

Fall 2013

IncludIng the 2012-13 AnnuAl RepoRt of gIfts

A s we begin a year of celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Archbishop Wood High School, i would like to express my deepest appreciation for your support throughout the year. Your alma mater is thriving in every aspect of Catholic

Education. Our students are successful in every aspect of high school life: in the classroom, on the stage and athletic fields, as well as in the community.

Let me tell you about some of the achievements of our students:

• The Class of 2013 was awarded over twenty-five million dollars in scholarships and grants.

• 125 students achieved three or more college credits through our Dual Enrollment programs.

• Archbishop Wood currently has fifteen neumann Scholars attending, as well as thirteen members of All Catholic Chorus, Band, and Orchestra.

• Our students have been finalists in the Philadelphia Area Shakespeare Contest and the “Why is STEm Cool?” video contest.

• Archbishop Wood’s athletic teams continue to dominate: this past year our Football and girls’ Cross Country teams achieved PCL Championships, and the Boys’ and girls’ Soccer teams and the girls’ Swimming joined them with District Xii Championships. Add to these accomplishments 116 All Catholic Athletes and eleven All State Athletes and you can see why we are very proud.

Academically we continue to grow and challenge our students to be the best that they can be by always “Striving for Excellence.” With the addition of our new STEm program, we are giving our students the chance to explore Science,

Technology, Engineering, and math while they are here at Archbishop Wood. With the addition of our new Learning Specialist, mrs. katherine Ruzicka nase, Class of 2006, we are enabling every student to succeed at Wood.

Our new Learning Commons in the South building will give our students a beautiful setting in which they can do research and work during and after school in an area that promotes a university or college atmosphere. We have also begun to renovate the bathrooms at Wood.

i write to you about these additions and improvements because without your generosity and support many things could not be done. i hope that you will join us on Saturday, April 26, 2014, at the 50th Anniversary Gala, which will be held at your Alma mater. Please find more information in the magazine about this event. if you have not been back for a visit this would be a great night to do so and don’t forget to tell another alum. it would be wonderful to see all of you as we celebrate fifty years of Catholic Education at Archbishop Wood High School, home of the Vikings.

Once again i thank you for all that you do and i hope and pray that you will continue to support our mission to educate the current and future students of Archbishop Wood High School for many years to come. Please know that you and your families are always in my prayers, for without you many things would not be possible. god Bless.

Sincerely yours,

Gary V. Zimmaro Sr. gary V. Zimmaro Sr.

Behinds-the-scenes tour with State Rep Michael FitzpatrickBy Carly Noonan ’14

On the 16th of May, Archbishop Wood’s Biology teacher, Mrs. Fitzpatrick, took a mixed group of 50 students

to Washington D.C. for an inside tour of our nation’s capital, courtesy of her husband, Michael Fitzpatrick. Michael Fitzpatrick is a United States Representative for Pennsylvania’s 8th congressional district which includes Bucks County and parts of Montgomery County. Mrs. Fitzpatrick welcomed the students for a chance to explore her husband’s office before she led them underground to the Capital Building.

That’s right-underground. Unbeknown to many, there are several underground tunnels in Washington D.C. that connect the government workers office buildings to the Capital Building. These tunnels create easier passageways for the workers to get to where they need to be, but are usually closed to the public. However, thanks to some connections, the students were able to walk through the tunnels and were extremely surprised when former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi nonchalantly walked past them! When they arrived to the Capital, the students

got special treatment with a behind the scenes tour by Mrs. Fitzpatrick and Mike Fitzpatrick himself. Afterwards, the students were allowed to go and explore Washington D.C. on their own for a few hours. Some of the popular attractions were the Smithsonian Museums, the Botanic Garden, and the National Mall. The class trip offered rare opportunities to catch inside glimpses of our nation’s capital and the students cannot thank the Fitzpatricks enough for making such a memorable field trip.

We remain so very grateful to our parents who actively support our mission here at Archbishop Wood. In addition to fulfilling their tuition obligations, many current parents volunteer in the Parents Association, booster clubs, in the athletic and fine arts departments as well as in the Advancement Office. Over 20% have donated this year which enables Wood to continued being one of the top schools in the area. We are also grateful to the Parents of Alumni who continue to support Wood even though their children have graduated.
