Come for the Academics, Stay for the Community, Experience the Values
graduate to the world
From the
head of school Joseph T. Devlin
The Summit has long enjoyed a reputation for producing high caliber graduates who do well in the world. This year I had the good fortune to meet a wide variety of them as I hosted receptions for alumni in eight cities across the country. The people I met remind me that leadership is not about climbing the corporate ladder or closing the next deal, but living an authentic life, following your principles and passions, and leaving the world better than you found it. On the pages that follow you will see a snapshot of some recent graduates who remind us that The Summit mission extends far beyond our walls. As we celebrate them, let me personally invite the alumni to stay actively involved in the school. SUCCESS ON MANY LEVELS Academic
77% of the class of 2005 received college scholarships. • One student received an award in science and technology from MIT. • 45 students in grades 2-4 were nationally recognized for their achievements in math and science. •
We all know that The Summit faculty and staff work hard to make this a nurturing, supportive environment. I want to make sure we deliver this personal touch to our alumni too. Alumni should know us, as the school evolves, and be able to identify individuals who are here for them on campus. Jennifer McDaniel is our new alumni coordinator and she brings a wealth of ideas and enthusiasm. We also invested in a new alumni website, which provides the foundation for a virtual Summit community worldwide. We hope alumni will sign up at www.summitalumni.com, and use it often to share ideas, talents and resources.
Spiritual
Upper School students traveled to Nicaragua to build a playground for handicapped children. • Three graduates were recipients of the St. Julie Billiart Award. •
Athletic
Varsity Baseball captured a State Championship. • Boys’ Varsity Lacrosse competed at State level. •
In closing, I would like to also acknowledge the many talented young people at The Summit today and in the graduating class of 2005. The box on the left highlights a few recent accomplishments in key areas of our mission. Of course, I also want to join George Thurner in thanking the many contributors and partners who continue to make The Summit a world class institution. Sincerely,
Artistic
Lower School students swept two levels of The Art Criticism Open. • One student’s work was on display in the Cincinnati Art Museum. •

chairman of the board of trustees George E. Thurner SBS ’77
No one understands the magic of The Summit better than the many alumni, parents, corporate partners and friends of the school who consistently provide the energy and support the institution needs. Through their generosity and vision we had a remarkable and transformative year. In September we opened a magnificent new Lower School that is spacious, safe and state-of-the-art in every way. Add to that a new athletic field with 24/7 all- weather turf, providing a superb playing surface for football, soccer, lacrosse and field hockey. We had plenty of parking for the first time in a long time and the Lower School children got a wonderful new playground this spring. For those of us who have been part of The Summit for many years, the campus renovations are nothing short of dreams come true. Beyond the bricks and mortar, I am happy to report that enrollment grew 5% last year and retention is at 95%, significantly higher than the national average for independent schools. The incoming freshman class is the largest in the school’s history and Montessori classes are virtually full. Next year we will improve the campus even further. By the first home game in October, Williams Field will have seats for 600 fans, locker rooms, restrooms, press box and coach’s office. The dedication of the new athletic stadium will be during Homecoming Weekend, October 21st at 2 pm. Shortly thereafter we will open a brand new Thurner Field on the land in front of the building that holds Kyte Theatre and the school gymnasium. Near and dear to my heart, Thurner Field will provide a baseball diamond and playing surface for many Summit sports. Sometime before Christmas break we will also complete the new parking lot that will be located on Breen Street, encompassing the land on the east side of Breen that was acquired by the school earlier this year. All this is made possible through the generous support of the people listed in the pages that follow. This year they contributed $593,363 in Annual Fund gifts and helped us reach $17 million, which is 85% of our $20 million Dreambuilding goal. It is my pleasure to honor them in our Annual Report, along with our thirty Summit alumni. Sincerely,
George E. Thurner SBS ’77 Chairman, Board of Trustees

Thirty
Engaged. Energetic. Committed.
These are among the defining characteristics of the thirty Summit alumni profiled here.
“30 Under Thirty” is a look at young people from many backgrounds and professions. From entrepreneurs to aviators, ministers and athletes to scientists, the list displays an eclectic array of achievements that makes us proud. In planning this story we didn’t set out to find people who were unusually involved in service work outside of their chosen careers, believing that it was probably hard enough just getting through medical school or law school, opening a new business or raising a young family. We started out by asking people connected with The Summit to recommend alumni who were making a difference in a variety of fields. Then we asked the alumni candidates to answer a few simple questions about what they do, how they got into it, and where they see themselves going. We also wanted to know about their most profound life experience so far and hear one piece of advice they learned along the way. As we got back responses, the picture of community involvement simply popped off the pages. Most everyone we heard from spent significant time in service to their communities. Not only that, they told us over and over how much the service work added to the quality of their lives. Many of the most profound experiences were grounded in service to others. In the profiles that follow, you’ll gain insight into how these impressive young people are building lives filled with accomplishment and meaning. Their energy and ideas will inspire you.

Chef David Falk 29
Chef/Owner of BOCA, Associates Degree/Culinary Institute of America
“I am kind of like a cocktail that you might order at BOCA, a mixture of ingredients that hopefully makes the guest say “wow!” I am one part Chef, one part leader, one part showman (the skills I learned on stage at Summit), and a big splash of passion. It all began at age 15 as a busser at El Coyote. My first love wasn’t food, wasn’t restaurants, but hospitality and entertaining at its purest form. Everything else followed. My inspiration is to take the gifts God gave me and to use them to the fullest, first by changing the landscape of dining in Cincinnati and possibly beyond. In business it’s all about BPA (blowing people away). In life it’s all about, “To whom much is given, much is expected.”

Theresa Uckotter 22 Teacher, B.S. Xavier University Theresa Uckotter has just begun her first year of teaching. She got into teaching because of the model set by her parents and the other teachers at Summit. Currently, she is also attending Xavier University to complete her Masters in Montessori Education. “One of my favorite quotes that I try to live by and would give as advice to other people was said by Mother Teresa; ‘Do small things with great love.’”
Margaret Uckotter Lebahn 23 Teacher, B.S. Ohio University.
3
Margaret Uckotter Lebahn, following the example of her parents, is a history and psychology teacher at Fairfax High School in Fairfax, Va. Teaching was an obvious career choice for her. She loves history and truly enjoys sharing her passion for it with her students. Living in Northern Virginia is great too because of the proximity to Washington, D.C. and all the historical landmarks in the area. She loves it except for the traffic and the price of housing. “My advice comes in the form of a prayer by Thomas Merton. It reminds me often to let the little things go and let God take over. “My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I cannot see the road ahead of me.” How true! But I have to trust that He has a plan for me and that He will take care of the rest.”

Karen Uckotter 19 Student, Working towards a degree in Middle Childhood Education from Xavier University Karen Uckotter chose to pursue a career in Middle Childhood Education because of the wonderful experiences she had during those years at Summit. She enjoys the children at this age because they have an enthusiasm for learning. “I recently had a conversation with my grandmother about her life as a young woman. At one point during our talk, she turned to me and said, “I don’t like to dwell too much on the past because I like to think that our best days are still ahead of us.”

Tracy Tyrone Moore II 20 Student, A.B. in Classics expected in 2006 A senior at Harvard College, Ty Moore believes the most important thing he does is talk and listen to people, and serve as an informal mentor to them. Currently, the two obligations he has for this year include serving as an advisor to about 30 freshmen, and president of the Harvard Black Men’s Forum. In the past, he served as a student recruiter for Harvard, participated in community service organizations, participated in a number of shows, including the Indian Dance show entitled Ghungroo (He did the high-energy Bhangra dance). He also performed research for a professor at the Harvard Business School, and attended performances and activities of a multitude of different cultural groups.

“I love having the ability to interact with people of multifarious backgrounds in social and academic settings; participate in intellectual discussions with some of the best minds of today; attend different performances; and not know what the day will hold for me. I really do not know where I will go from here. I suppose I will continue being openminded and actively engage in self-reflection to determine the best course(s) of action for me in the future.”
Whitney Botsford 23 Graduate Student George Mason University (Research Assistant and Contractor); BA Rice University A student in the PhD program in Industrial and Organizational (I/O) Psychology at George Mason University, Whitney Botsford is focusing on the development and application of scientific principles to the workplace. In addition to coursework and research, she works as a contractor for a small consulting group, Fors Marsh Group, LLC in Arlington, Va. working for a project that researches military recruiters’ quality of life. “I started working in an IO Psychology Lab in undergraduate at Rice University. After two years, I decided that was the career path for me. Research always sounds like a solitary process, but really it involves working and coordinating with multiple people and ideas. I enjoy the group nature of my work and the real-world application. It is very rewarding to see the work you do actually implemented in a workplace.”

Resident doctor in Chattanooga, Tn., BS Duke University
Teabra Dixon works at a hospital in Chattanooga, Tn., specializing in Internal Medicine. She also assists in operating a clinic, where she has her own patients to follow. Periodically, she has the opportunity to travel to national medical conferences participating in presentations of interesting patient cases. After completing these initial three years of training, she hopes to pursue a fellowship in a subspecialty of internal medicine. “One of the most amazing patients whom I encountered was a lady who was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. She had such an amazing spirit and she was determined to make the most of her life. Her family was very supportive. Although a potentially very grave prognosis, I truly believe that she lived her last days to the fullest.”
Andee Carroll 22
8
Student, expected degree from Wittenburg University in May 2006
Andee Carroll spent a year studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark. She just returned in May. Andee chose Denmark because she spent the first two years of her life in Saudi Arabia and her parents traveled all around the world with her. She then bounced from Cincinnati to Brussels, then back to Cincinnati.
Alicia Bond 26 J.D. Candidate; BA Washington University Alicia Bond has one year left of law school, and upon graduating in May 2006, she plans to pursue a career in government relations and international law. Her interest in government relations increased during the two years she took off between undergrad and law school, when she worked as a writer and editor for Women’s Policy, Inc. As an advisor to the women members of Congress, she became increasingly aware of, and involved in, domestic and international policy issues. This summer, she worked for the United Nations Secretariat in New York City. She met not only diplomats from around the world, but also former President Bill Clinton and the Secretary-General, Kofi Annan.

“In 2000, I spent a year abroad in Santiago, Chile. When I arrived, I doubted I could survive so long away from the secure familiarity of home. By the end of my year there, I met every challenge and exceeded my own aspirations by exploring and adapting to the Chilean way of life—the most valuable part of my stay. I became fluent in Spanish, made friends with my Chilean classmates and traveled throughout the country.”

Andee knew going into college that she would love the opportunity to go back overseas. In 2004-2005 Andee visited, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Russia, Italy, Norway, Ireland, France, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Great Britain and Greece. “One of the funniest stories was when we took this small train all the way up the Swiss alps and we were planning on taking a sledding trail all the way down. We asked several people where to buy the sleds and they all told us that you could rent them at the trail. We got to the top of the mountain and realized that you couldn’t get the sled up there and there was nothing around for miles. So we spent the whole day trying to slide down on our butts. It took us almost five hours to get to the bottom!”

Lauren Brinkmeyer 26
Graduate Student University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business and School of Public Health; A.B. Princeton University After spending three years consulting for Accenture in New York City in the wholesale electricity market, Lauren Brinkmeyer is back in school with a passion for improving the healthcare system. In April 2006 she will graduate with MBA and MHSA degrees.
“Being back at school has offered me many opportunities that I otherwise would have missed. I have been able to direct a 200 person healthcare forum, direct a 150 person two-hour comedy and musical Follies production, join the student government as its social committee chair, and be a co-captain of the women’s ice hockey team. These leadership experiences have been extremely fulfilling personally and have taught me real life skills that I can take to my future career in health care administration. One of the best moments of my life has been on stage at this year’s UM Follies, which I directed. The opening scene has the large red curtains rise behind me, and all I hear are 100+ cast members singing.”
Christopher Janneck 25
11
Research Assistant and Graduate Student, B.S. in Computer Engineering, B.A. in Theatre, M.S. in Computer Engineering, pursuing Ph.D. in Computer Science, deacon (since early 2005)
For the last three years, Christopher Janneck has served as a Teaching Assistant for a course in the Engineering program at Lehigh. His current goal is to complete his Ph.D. and become a teaching-oriented professor at the collegiate or university level. At the end of this last semester, he was offered a one-year grant under an NSF GK-12 program called STEM (for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) that focuses on promoting these disciplines to underprivileged and minority students. He will be working at an inner-city public school in Allentown, PA helping to develop a program on space exploration, robotics, and simulation. He also has been doing research that may lead to the creation of a tool that could be used to recognize criminal patterns, detecting trends, and possibly even finding connections between people, gangs, and other groups that were previously unrecognized.
“I’ve had this bug to be a teacher for a while now (which probably has something to do with good, strong models in my youth). So, as any teacher will tell you, even though teaching may not be the most financially profitable profession, there are many aspects about it that you can’t put a price on. It’s stressful, it’s time consuming, and many other jobs pay more for doing less. But it’s a necessary profession in society, and especially needs to be done well, and at the end of the day, it’s all worth it.”
Lindsay Botsford 24 Medical Student, Baylor College of Medicine; BA Rice University Currently in her third year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine, Lindsay Botsford is a Delegate in the American Medical Association House of Delegates. Her interests lie in public health and health policy. While she believes medicine is very rewarding in and of itself, it focuses on the individual patient. By working in public policy, she hopes to take part in healing the larger health care system in the United States. “I think that being open to trying new things, seeking out new experiences, and not being afraid to do things you are passionate about by yourself even when no one else is interested are key to blazing your unique path in life.”

Jennifer Hackett 29 Postdoctoral Fellow, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School; BA DePauw University and Ph.D. Johns Hopkins University Jennifer Hackett spends her days in a laboratory analyzing 30,000 human genes in the hopes of identifying which ones can be targeted with drugs to treat a variety of diseases, including cancer. Her spare time is spent working with at-risk children, serving meals to the homeless and participating in environmental cleanups.

“I am very proud to have volunteered a great deal of time last year to John Kerry’s campaign. This was the first time I had ever worked on a campaign. I was so impressed by the number of average people, including high school students not even old enough to vote, who gave up their weekends to go door-to-door, believing that their small efforts could help make the world a better place. I was able to attend the convention itself. The campaign asked me back to help with the plans for election night, and while I wish that the outcome had been much different, I will never forget the experience.”
Patricia Feghali 23
14
Law Student at the University of Minnesota, Undergrad from Columbia University
Patricia Feghali is currently a law student at the University of Minnesota. She was an American Studies/Sociology major, so she enjoys the parts of law school that talk about policies. She believes that too much of what we do is follow rules without ever evaluating why we have them. Eventually, Patricia would like to be a practicing lawyer, but would also like to be involved with her community and with generally making the world a better place.
“Moving to New York City for college was an amazing adventure. Going to Columbia opened up the city to me, and that made me realize that the world is so much bigger than I had thought before. There were so many things I could do, and the possibilities were really endless. It also made me realize that there are all kinds of people out there, but also that we’re all basically the same, that we’re all still people no matter how we look or speak or dress or where we come from. It was very liberating.”

Kirstin Fullen Klein 28 Assistant Prosecutor, Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office, BA from College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, Ma., J.D. from University of Cincinnati College of Law After internships at Hill & Barlow in Boston, clerking for Judge Susan Dlott of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio (Federal Court), the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office (Dayton), and the United States Attorney’s Office in Cincinnati, Kirstin Fullen Klein decided that Prosecution was the only direction for her. After passing the Ohio and Illinois Bars, she decided to stay in Cincinnati and work for Hamilton County. She has worked in the Child Support Division and the Juvenile Division and she is currently in Municipal. “I wanted a job where I could be proud of what I do at the end of the day. You cannot always make victims of crime whole, but I can do my part to get them some justice and get the ‘bad guys’ off the street.”

Andrew Lee Kiley 28 Senior Account Manager at Northlich in Cincinnati; BS Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School for Public Communications
16
All his life, Andrew Kiley has been interested in advertising. While most people change the channel or walk out of the room during commercial breaks, he would pay attention to the latest ad campaigns to gauge which resonates the most with him and the public at large. Currently he is a Senior Account Manager with Northlich, which specializes in a wide breadth of integrated communications, including advertising, public relations, interactive, new product marketing, and grass roots initiatives. He is most proud of his ongoing work on Ohio’s statewide tobacco countermarketing stand.
“My greatest adventure was giving my mom an all-expense-paid trip to Paris, France on Christmas day in 2002. Over the years, my mother had told us that it’s her dream to make it to France, but given that she spent every minute of everyday for the past 40 plus years raising 16 children, she figured she’d never make it. She even self-taught herself intermediate French, studying French books whenever she had a free minute. My brother and I, also a past Summit student, saved our money over a six-month period and surprised my mom on Christmas day with a ticket to Paris.” Kiley was a victim of assault within the last year. He suffered brain trauma and experienced a long and difficult recovery. He said: “Believe it or not, it has turned out to be one of my most profound experiences, as I have greater respect for life and value my time here on earth more now than ever before. I am much more grateful for the gift of life and, now more than ever, I want to make a difference in others’ lives.”
Jim Price 28 Empower Media Marketing’s Director of Interactive Marketing; BS Presbyterian College As Empower Media Marketing’s Director of Interactive Marketing, Jim Price ensures that on-line ad campaigns are integrated into media plans for the company’s advertising clients. In 2001, Jim and several young professionals established Cincinnat-Us (www.cincinnat-us.com). Cincinnat-Us raises money through events and membership dues, then invests directly in activities that allow members to give back to a cause they’re passionate about.
17
For the 14 months preceding the inauguration of George W. Bush, Jim was national Co-Director of the Maverick program in Washington, D.C., whose goal was to raise money from 18 to 40 year-olds for the ‘04 reelection campaign of President Bush. Over $11 million was raised, far exceeding expectations. “Live your life with integrity, generosity and a passion for excellence.” 11
Jamal Shteiwi 23

Trader at Geneva Trading LLC Bachelor of Business Administration Cum Laude, University of Kentucky
Alexis Palascak 27 Attorney at the United States Securities & Exchange Commission, B.A. Washington University in St. Louis, J.D. Villanova University School of Law, LL.M. Georgetown University Law Center Alexis Palascak is an attorney in the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations at the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Her job is to inspect and examine exchanges, broker dealers, and investment companies to ensure they comply with the federal securities laws and to keep the Commission informed of industry trends and developments. “I love my job because I protect investors. Because the health of the financial world impacts all of us, I feel a great responsibility to do my part to ensure it operates efficiently and with integrity.”
18
Jamal Shteiwi is currently a trainee trader at an electronic trading firm in Chicago. He will be trading oil futures contracts, the e-Brent, on London’s International Petroleum Exchange. He enjoys pretty much every aspect of trading, it is high-paced, exciting, and he actually wants to go to work and trade everyday. The aspect that he most enjoys about it is that trading is as close as possible to playing a video game for a career. “My most profound life experience so far was being named a division one All-American (in soccer) my senior year of college. Obviously, the great adventure wasn’t in receiving the award; it was in what was done day in and day out to get to that level. Going from a red shirt freshman at Indiana University to an All American, two time conference player of the year at The University of Kentucky was quite an experience. It was the first time in my life where I really applied myself and achieved my maximum potential.”
Stephen Weyer 24 Director of Outreach Ministry, Church of St. Xavier Mission in New York City; BA Emory University His mission is to serve the poor. Stephen Weyer, oversees his parish’s outreach ministries to the poor of New York. His church’s Welcome Table soup kitchen serves over 700 meals every Sunday, the Men’s Shelter provides a safe space for 15 men every night, the Food Pantry offers 200 families a month non-perishable food items and the list of other services provided to New York’s poor continues at length.
20
“At Emory I took the time to study abroad. I did a semester in the desert of Rajasthan, India, and I made shorter trips to Northern Ireland and to the Andes Mountains deep in Bolivia. These adventures opened my eyes to the plight of the poor as well as the opportunities for service in my own life. Certainly, without these trips I would not have developed the courage to make some of the choices I have made since.”

Molly Price 26
21
Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps attending Flight School in Pensacola, Fl.; BS in Industrial Engineering Lehigh University (Bethlehem, Pa.)
Molly Price was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps on December 12, 2003 after spending approximately two years in the business world doing logistics work for UPS. She is currently living in Pensacola, Fl., the home of Navy and Marine Corps Aviation training. After commissioning, Molly spent six months in Quantico, Va. at “The Basic School,” where she was trained to be a Rifle Platoon Commander and lead Marines in combat. Since last September, she has completed several aviation and survival courses, as well as completed flight training in the T-34 turboprop fixed-wing aircraft. She is currently training in the TH-57 learning to fly helicopters, working towards earning her “wings” and becoming a Marine Corps helicopter pilot.
“I had always wanted to serve our country in some capacity and have always had the dream of flying. When I found out that I could do both through the Marine Corps, I couldn’t hold back. I consider myself a very active person who enjoys working with people. I thrive on physical challenges and leadership opportunities; joining the Marine Corps has and will continue to give me these opportunities. My greatest adventure so far – flying of course! Initially it involved mastering the landing pattern and approaches and “flying solo.” It then quickly evolved into trying to perfect loops and rolls in the sky as well as flying formation only 10 feet away from another aircraft – definitely an adventure.”
13
Ward Stern 23 Program Aide at Perkins School for the Blind and Assistant Director at Camp Holiday Trails; BA Boston University Ward Stern is inspired by watching people with challenges in their lives, master those challenges and become leaders. For a little over a year, he worked at Perkins School for the Blind. Over the summer he worked at Camp Holiday Trails in Charlottesville, Va. as assistant director, responsible for assisting with counselor training and program activities for 80 campers with special needs. “When I dwell on my life the great adventures don’t seem to be skiing off course in Utah or dating someone crazy, rather its the wonderful variations and endangering disruptions within the routine I built for myself. I have a good college friend who attended camp with me and whom I visited in Spain when she studied abroad. For whatever reason I never met her family, didn’t have a clue where she came from. A month ago instead of going to work, I took a personal day, hopped on a train, and visited her hometown. I got to see her sea-side town, meet the folks she came from, and trace my finger along her bookshelf, wondering how old she was when she read Hemingway and if I would know her then.”
23
Tim Welch 29
22
Pediatric Resident, St. Louis Children’s Hospital; BA Cornell University, MPH Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and MD University of Cincinnati With a career goal of eradicating diseases that plague the developing world, Tim Welch, is currently a pediatric resident physician at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Regardless of his subspecialty, once he completes his studies, he intends to do some humanitarian medical work. “In between my sophomore and junior years of college I took time off to ski, climb, and teach in the Western US with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). It was a somewhat atypical trajectory for a premed student. The experience was intense beyond comparison; and did more to develop my leadership, resourcefulness, and experiential learning style than any classroom education I had ever had.”

Osagie Obasogie 27
24
Project Director on Race, Disability, & Eugenics – Center for Genetics and Society; Aspiring Documentary Filmmaker and Graduate Student; BA Yale, JD Columbia Law School, MA University of California, Berkeley, PhD Candidate University of California Though involved in many projects, Osagie Obasogie has one theme that permeates everything he does: racial justice. Much of his work involves grappling with and understanding how and why unjust outcomes continue to befall racial minorities in a society that is so deeply committed to fairness, meritocracy and an equal playing field. He expects to receive his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley in 2007. In the meantime he is Project Director on Race, Disability, & Eugenics for the Center for Genetics and Society. He also has a desire to make documentary films.
“A friend of mine from college once told me: “Never get involved in a rat race. Because in the end, even if you win, you’re still a rat.” This has always resonated with me. I’ve been blessed to have as many opportunities as I’ve had, and it’s important to me to not simply use them for my own private wealth-maximizing benefit, but to also engage in work that is meaningful to the public.”
(Jack) John Kennedy Cummings III 23 Professional Soccer Player, Degree from the University of South Carolina Jack Cummings is a member of the Cincinnati Kings soccer team. He trains weekday mornings and has games on the weekends. He has played soccer since the age of five and fell in love with it. He played for The Summit, for the University of South Carolina and now professionally. He hopes this will give him the opportunity to play in the MLS or overseas. Time will tell. “Never give up on your dreams and if you’re not doing something you love, it’s not worth doing it at all.”

Sarah Petrie 24 Associate Director, CitySquash, Inc. in New York; Degree from Brown University Drawn to the start-up nature of the program, and how it combined both academics and athletics, Sarah Petrie recently assisted in running an after-school enrichment program called CitySquash based at Fordham University in the Bronx. The program provides young people from low-income families with a team environment to help them fulfill their academic, athletic and personal potential. It combines academic tutoring, the sport of squash, travel and community service. She has since moved on from CitySquash to go to law school. Sarah would like to practice public interest law, and continue in the field of education, possibly in educational policy or leadership in a school. “This past spring, three eighth grade CitySquashers, Tanesha Jackson, Jose Alvarez, and Edgardo Gonzalez, were awarded scholarships to boarding schools — amounting to more than $375,000 in aid over four years.
26
I was with Tanesha when she found out she was accepted to the Hill School in Pottstown, Pa. Tanesha grew up near 161st Street and Yankee Stadium, one of the roughest neighborhoods in the Bronx. She and her twin brother Tyrell are the youngest of six. I’d gone to Tanesha’s school to tell her the news. She had just checked her application online. She ran up and hugged me, tears streaming down her face. I hugged her back, and she said ‘I did it. I got out.’ We called her mother, a remarkable woman named Maria and Maria kept saying ‘thank you, God.’ For Tanesha, I felt this wide possibility. My excitement nearly crackled. I saw the change, the very singular difference, an organization, a community, a family could make. What was happening had little to do with me or the particulars of my own life; it was about Tanesha and the trajectory of hers.”
Victoria (Tori) Beimesche 21 Currently a Firstie (senior) at the United States Coast Guard Academy, BS Marine and Environmental Science Tori Beimesche is currently attending the Coast Guard Academy. During the summer she gets three weeks of leave to go home or do something fun. The rest of the summer is spent either on a Coast Guard Cutter, USCGC Barque Eagle, or training the incoming freshmen. So far, she’s traveled to Bermuda, Antigua, Puerto Rico, Midway, Japan, Hawaii, and some other islands on her summer cruises. When she graduates, she will be an Ensign in the Coast Guard and be stationed aboard a cutter or at an ashore unit. Officers in the Coast Guard choose between the Operations side and the Engineering side. She will be in Operations, and will learn about driving and safely navigating the ship. “I became interested in the Academy because of its Marine and Environmental Science major, but after going to visit and participating in a few programs held for high schoolers, I decided that this was where I wanted to attend college. I really enjoy the summer experiences, and the people at the Coast Guard Academy are wonderful. The friends I’ve made here will be my lifelong friends, and they make life at the Academy much easier. I also really love the missions of the Coast Guard, and to have a job as an officer in the CG waiting for me after graduation is another thing that keeps me motivated and happy.
27
I am not quite sure which path I will take initially after graduation (ship or ashore billet), but I would love to head up to a Polar Icebreaker in Seattle or a Buoy Tender out of Alaska. It is required that we stay in the Coast Guard for five years to pay back the government for our education, and depending on the success of those five years, I may make it my career.”

Meagan Hawkins 23

Graduate Student in International Service at the University of Roehampton in London, BA Auburn University
In the last 9 months, Meagan Hawkins has traveled to Africa and South America to assess the needs of various humanitarian agencies and help in the implementation of aid. Her interests in humanitarian aid heightened last summer when she interned at the United Nations. Meagan also spent three months in Tanzania living in a rural village where she worked at an orphanage and helped in the daily care of the children. After her trip to Africa she went to Brazil where she worked at a community daycare and a home for children and adults with HIV and AIDS. She is currently working on her masters in International Service at the University of Roehampton in London. “What I enjoy most about this work is that each time I extend myself to another community or child in need, I leave that experience with more love in my heart then when I began and greater respect for people who are able to overcome challenges in their life. By far the most profound life experience, that was also an adventure was living in a rural village in Tanzania. I fell in love with the children at the orphanage. Holding them in my arms is a memory I will always have with me. While living in the village I was also invited into the homes of many people and told countless stories about love and loss. In these interactions with the local people I was able to experience the very core of humanity in Africa. I am forever blessed to have had this experience.”
Rae Kahle Buse has two New York City jobsites. The first is the Madison Avenue jewelry company L’artigiano. They have products made in Europe for companies such as Bulgari and Verurda. The second is a house off Park Avenue where she tutors a young woman in Trigonometry and SAT work and manages many of the household affairs. Her responsibilities at these two jobsites are just a fraction of her activities, as she is an undergraduate student at NYU, with an interest in film production. Both being an active part of the process of ‘constructing reality,’ and playing a very large role is something she believes she can one day accomplish in film. “It might seem that my work on Madison and Park have no correlation. I see it otherwise. I do not merely tutor her daughter and do her scary paperwork. I keep her entire life running smoothly. I’ve already had ample experience fixing whatever problems come to her mind from filing insurance claims to what colors look best together to editing history papers over the phone. I think these problemsolving techniques will help me effectively control film production.”

Freshman at Tulane University Kathleen Hock just returned from doing community service in Fiji. She enjoys it because it is fun as well as rewarding, and she always leaves feeling like she has truly impacted their community. “Life doesn’t give you second chances, so learn who you are and go with it.”

Mr. Escudero:
schilderink chair By Kelly Wilson, freshman
“Chemistry is everywhere!” This is the philosophy Summit Upper School Chemistry teacher Ed Escudero follows to make his subject relevant to his students’ lives and excite them about studying it. Success in the classroom year after year has resulted in Mr. Escudero being awarded the 2005 Raymond E. Schilderink Family Faculty Chair for Distinguished Teaching. “I try to get the students involved in their learning. I exude a persona of one who is excited by his field and who wishes to pass that excitement to his students,” he said. “In teaching chemistry, I am blessed with an abundance of demonstrations and lab activities that I and the students can perform.” Mr. Escudero, who teaches Advanced Chemistry and Advanced Placement Chemistry, encourages his students to use skills beyond analyzing data and memorizing material. “I think chemistry is probably the most important course students are going to take because it involves math, reading, and writing. So in a certain sense, my chemistry course will get students to think, do science, learn to read and write, and do math.” He discussed three important qualities one must have to be a successful teacher. “First, you really have to know your subject and be well versed in your field. It is difficult to teach what one doesn’t know. Second, you’ve really got to love it and be excited about it. Lastly, focus on the students. Do whatever it takes to bring them into the process of learning.” Indeed, Mr. Escudero truly does love chemistry. He spends anywhere from ten to thirteen hours a day teaching and keeping up in his field during the school year. His long hours and teaching excellence have earned him a number of national teaching awards:
24
n
State Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching from Texas in 1985 and from Ohio in 1989;
n
Tandy Technology Scholar Outstanding Teacher Award, 1991;
n
College Board – Southwestern Region Advanced Placement Chemistry Special Recognition Award, 1986;
n
James Bryant Conant Award for High School Chemistry Teaching presented by the American Chemical Society in 1988 (which is given to the teacher the American Chemical Society deemed the outstanding high school chemistry teacher in the United States).
Biographical Information
mr. escudero
Mr. Escudero is proudest of this last award. “I liken it to the Nobel Prize available to a high school chemistry teacher.” Mr. Escudero uses his summers to “recharge his batteries” by attending chemistry meetings all over the world. “These programs are usually so exciting, brimming with new ideas, labs, and demos.” Mr. Escudero has tried many teaching styles, but he’s found one he feels works best. “A number of students simply want to be told what they have to learn and memorize it. I believe the hands on approach with the student as the learner is the way to go.” He prefers to provide his students with materials which they use in a guided study group to dig out the useful information. “I am surprised, elated and humbled to receive the Schilderink Award. It helps me to strive to improve what I am doing in the classroom,” he said.
Mr. Escudero earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the University of Dayton in 1964. In 1972 he earned his Master of Science degree in Chemistry from St. Louis University. Then, in 1978, he earned his Master of Divinity Degree from the University of St. Michael’s College in Toronto. He has also taken graduate courses at Princeton University as a Woodrow Wilson Fellow; at Hope College in Holland, Michigan; at Rice University; at the University of Houston; and most recently at Miami University of Ohio. He began his teaching career at Nolan High School in Fort Worth, Texas, where he worked from 1964 to 1971. After completing his Masters degree in Chemistry, he taught at Chaminade College Preparatory in St. Louis from 1972 to 1975. Subsequent to earning his Masters of Divinity, he taught at St. John’s School in Houston, Texas from 1978 to 1987. Mr. Escudero came to The Summit in the fall of 1987. His wife, Mary Ann and her grandmother, Grace Dolle, both graduated from The Summit. Mr. Escudero and his wife were married at The Summit in 1984. One of his children has already graduated from Summit, and two others currently attend the Upper School. He has taught at The Summit for eighteen years and has been actively teaching for a total of thirty-seven years.

Heart of The Summit
a spirit of generosity
A spirit of generosity is at the heart of our school’s mission to “improve the world we inherit.” The Summit spirit reflects our culture of giving to others and stewarding our resources. This spirit of generosity permeates daily life at The Summit from our students who volunteer in over fifty non-profit organizations to our dedicated teachers who give countless hours to tutor, coach and nurture our students. We are blessed by parents, alumni and friends who give of their time, talent and treasure so generously to the school.
“The purpose of The Summit is to prepare our students to value community and improve the world. Funding The Summit is funding the future. I’ve spent my career here because I’ve been treated with kindness and courtesy, and because the heart of The Summit is a generous spirit. The generosity of others will enable us to continue to fulfill our noble mission, and guide our students toward fulfilling their dreams” Carole Fultz, Upper School English Teacher 1993 Schilderink Faculty Chair Recipient

Last year the Annual Fund purchased three new technology servers.
The Summit
annual fund The Annual Fund is the most important source of revenue beyond tuition and fees. This year $593,363 was raised with 65 % of our Summit Parents participating. These dollars provide additional resources and enrichment for The Summit Country Day School and our students. This past year, the following are among a few items and programs your Annual Fund dollars supported: · Three new servers for the Technology Department · The Counseling Program, which assists our students to enroll in fine colleges and universities from around the country such as Harvard, Yale, Dennison, and West Point, to name a few. · Upgraded softball and baseball facilities including four dugouts and a shelter. The success of the Annual Fund is a result of the loyalty and generosity of our Summit families. Summit parents, alumni, past parents, grandparents and staff and faculty all came together to contribute their time, talents, and dollars for this critical annual campaign. We are grateful for this partnership.

The Edward C. Tyrrell
endowment fund The Summit’s Endowment Fund now totals $8.5 million (unaudited), thanks to gifts from individuals, families and friends. In May 2003, The Summit’s trustees renamed this The Edward C. Tyrell Endowment Fund. When you make a gift to the endowment, the money is invested permanently. Per Board policy, only the interest is used for current educational needs. This guaranteed income benefits four areas of the school: faculty development, innovative programs, scholarships and buildings and grounds. In 2004-2005, the operating budget received $228,223 in endowment distribution. The endowment plays an integral part in preserving excellence at The Summit. Faculty Development - Professional development for faculty and staff is vital so that we continue to attract and retain superior faculty and staff members. Through the Dreambuilding – Campaign for The Summit, the trustees seek to more than double the funds currently allotted to faculty and staff development. Innovative Programs – Credo, our Educating for Character Program, sets our school apart from all the others in the community and much of the nation. To educate “leaders of character” who will “improve the world they inherit,” we must fund research, training and materials to preserve this hallmark program. Scholarships - The Summit recognizes that a diverse community of learning is the essential ingredient to our outstanding academic and social programs. Socio-economic diversity has long been a priority at The Summit. With additional endowment dollars, we seek to provide 36 new scholarships and expand our offerings below the 7th grade level. Beautification and Campus Improvements – We must provide funds for future improvements to the new Lower School, the Harold C. Schott Middle School, the Main Building and the campus.
48
The Endowment
family funds
Family Funds are part of the school’s endowment and benefit the four areas as detailed above. A Family Fund can be established with a minimum donation of $2,500. You may choose to establish a fund with your family name or in honor of a family member or loved one. We hope you will continue to build your Family Fund over the years.
Once donations reach $100,000 or more, you may establish a Named Founder Fund to designate a scholarship, faculty or department chair. Your participation is essential to help build the endowment and ensure the future of The Summit for the next generation.

A thoughtful way to help build The Summit’s endowment is to leave The Summit Country Day School, Inc. in your will. Please notify the school so that we can acknowledge your gift in the Annual Report and recognize you as a member of the Heritage Society on a plaque in the main building. Other planned gifts, such as trusts, insurance and annuities, offer you both income and estate tax advantages while providing an important source of financial security for the school.
“As both an alumna and a parent, I know the benefits of a Summit education. I especially value the spiritual, moral and emotional development that I and my children have received.
