Fall 2008Miner Messenger 1

Wow! Sixty wonderful years of growth and prosperity. In

this issue of the Miner Messenger, you will discover the wonderful things our alumni are doing, including travel, family, and work-related accomplishments. The Alumni of Bishop Manogue Catholic High School have created a legacy that now rests in the hearts of our current students. The many memories our alumni merely remember are now being experienced by the next generation of Bishop Manogue students.

Continuing the true spirit of Bishop Manogue by participating in class

reunions, the Jim Williams Miner Golf Classic, Green and Gold Night, BASH, and other important events and projects will show current students that we are forever a family and their involvement with the school does not end at graduation. There are several opportunities for alumni and friends to get together through events sponsored by our Alumni Office. Mark your calendars to get together, socialize, and share memories at the alumni and parents events this fall, as well as sporting events. More information about fall events is included in this issue of the Miner messenger.

As we prepare to embark on the sixtieth school year at Bishop Manogue, we are encouraged by the successes we have found in years past and will continue to work to enhance the opportunities of success for our students every day.

Tim Jaureguito Principal

Bishop Manogue Catholic High School Mission Statement

Bishop Manogue Catholic High School is a faith-based community working together

for the education of the total person.

Values Statement M orality creates a community where

Catholic beliefs and values, inspired by faith, are taught, professed and experienced.

I ntellect provides a college bound

curriculum stressing academic excellence and life-long learning through study, reflection, creativity, and faith.

N urturing builds an environment of care

and compassion rooted in our faith.

E ncouragement supports students in

exploring their God-given talents and gifts through the arts, athletics, and a variety of extracurricular endeavors.

R espect teaches students to value

individuality and diversity, and to uphold the dignity of all God's children.

S ervice challenges students to serve the

community and empowers them to address social needs through the example of Christ.

2008 has been an important

time for anniversaries in Reno. The Cathedral of St. Thomas Aquinas celebrated its 100th birthday party. St. Mary's Hospital and the Dominican nuns celebrated a similar 100th anniversary here. Of particular pertinence to the Bishop Manogue family is that 60 years ago this fall Bishop Manogue Catholic High School first opened its doors. Our 60th birthday is cause for celebration! We look forward to celebrating this birthday not only during Homecoming, but the duration of this academic year.

This year marks only my second year working at Bishop Manogue Catholic High School. Early my first year we circulated a questionnaire among priests

of the Diocese. When asked what their hopes are for Bishop Manogue, one priest responded his hope is that "when Catholic students emerge from four years here "they are `red hot' in their faith." I share that joyful hope.

In years past we provided but one semester of Religion to each of our classes per year. Last year we added a second semester for freshmen. This year we have added a second semester of Religion for sophomores as well. We plan to add a second semester of Religion for each of the next two years, so that when our students graduate they will have completed eight semesters of Religion instead of just four. Scripture and our heritage over 2000 years is rich and deep. We indeed have much we can learn and appreciate.

This year we are blessed with the addition of many new and gifted teachers who join our talented faculty cadre. I believe we are particularly blessed to have a full time priest, Father John Legerski, join our chaplain, Father Mark Hanifan, in serving the student body, faculty and staff. Father John will teach freshman and sophomore Religion.

Elsewhere in the Miner Messenger we discuss the addition of religious icons,

new stained glass windows, canvas art, an additional large cross and signage from Scripture we have added to our physical plant. There will be more to come. These signs and symbols mark us further as a Catholic school. We hope the very atmosphere in our hallways does the same.

The economy this year has affected many businesses and it has cost many families their livelihood and their homes. Our enrollment is below our enrollment from last year, and reports indicate this is true for many Catholic schools. It means another year for us all to "tighten our belts" budget wise.

As we embark upon this new academic year and prepare for our 60th graduating class, let us ask God's blessings on all of us. We pray that this year will be holy, happy, productive and successful in the things that truly matter.

B.A.S.H.

Building A Scholastic Heritage

4Miner Messenger

B.A.S.H., which stands for Building A Scholastic Heritage,

debuted in May of 1989. The proceeds from BASH benefit enrichments of Bishop Manogue including the Tuition Assistance Program "TAP." The evening started with happy hour which consisted of hors d'oeuvres and libations, which were hosted by Eldorado Hotel Casino, Silver Legacy Resort Casino, The Tamarack Junction, and Silver State Liquor & Wine Inc. The BASH Committee started a new tradition held on the Alumni Plaza where there was a live auction. The evening continued with dinner hosted by the Eldorado Hotel Casino and the Carano Family and wine hosted by Ferrari Carano Vineyards and Winery. Guests were pleased with the comedy club atmosphere and laughed the night away when the entertainment of high energy stand-up comedian Greg Hahn came to the stage.
