Xavier College
Preparatory High School
Annual Report 2012-2014
XAVIER COLLEGE PREP When you walk onto Xavier’s campus from the parking lot, it’s hard to miss two things. You are greeted by a bronze statue of St. Francis Xavier with two students, and they are conspicuously pointed toward the parking lot you just left. I’ve always imagined that Francis is directing his companions to leave, to “go forth” into the world, to take what they have learned at Xavier and to give it away generously to a world in need. The other very conspicuous sight is the Berger Athletic Center, but many might not know how this building earned its name. It’s my privilege to share this history. Chris Alling More than ten years ago, before Xavier was Xavier, when the idea of a Catholic/Jesuit high Xavier President school in the desert was more dream than reality, a group of parents were blessed to find themselves in a relationship with the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation. The leaders directing this foundation’s valiant effort to help people help themselves were willing to listen to the hopes and dreams of the individuals trying to make Xavier a reality.
More importantly, the Berger Foundation was willing to do more than listen; they were willing to act. Not a day goes by that I don’t thank God for this very fortuitous relationship. I know that numerous organizations across the Coachella Valley have benefitted from the Berger Foundation’s generosity and echo my gratitude. Our kids learn amazing lessons when they participate in the co-curricular life of the school, on the fields and the courts, and in the heat of competition. I hope all we do in the classroom and in every facet of Xavier life remains directed toward forming young men and women who will embody the same spirit of generosity that animates the good work of the Berger Foundation.

Molly Walters moved her family from Texas in 2009, back to the Coachella Valley. Thankfully, Molly and her children found Xavier. Taylor (’11) is now a senior at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) and Blake (’14) just started his freshman year at Arizona State University. Molly has been an avid supporter of Xavier from the first day she set foot on campus. Like her children, Molly is eager to know what she can do to help, and she’s never once tried to avoid me when she saw me coming to ask for her help (as far as I know). I am reminded of Molly’s generosity every time I sit under our shaded lunch areas, every time I walk down the second floor hallway of the classroom building, every time I watch kids in a biology lab or art studio, and lately, every time I walk through the newly renovated Molly Walters Family Classrooms on the second floor of the Berger Athletic Center. Molly inspires us all to live our lives mindful of the ways we might make a difference for others. - Chris Alling
As visitors to Xavier know, the football and soccer field underwent major upgrades this past summer, due in significant part to the generosity of Carolyn and Peter Shea. Mr. and Mrs. Shea are longtime supporters of Catholic education, both in the Coachella Valley and in many other areas. Mr. and Mrs. Shea enabled Xavier to expand the southwest parking lot, purchase bleachers for both home and visiting crowds, put in crucial fencing around the field, and add three new 8-seat vans to Xavier’s fleet of vehicles for student transportation. They also funded the outstanding new sound system on the football and soccer field. Xavier’s faculty, staff, and students are deeply grateful for the partnership of Mr. and Mrs. Shea and their willingness to advance Xavier’s mission to form servant leaders. - Matt Emerson

XAVIER 2012/2013 Annual Gift Donors
July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013
Each year, a portion of Xavier ’s operational costs and tuition assistance for students are derived from contributions to the Annual Fund. The donors listed here have made gifts in response to direct mail, the annual Phone-AThon and personal meetings. Although some gifts to the Annual Fund may be designated for particular purposes, in general, donors allow the school to use the money where it is most needed in any particular year. In this way, Xavier can meet its financial obligations, undertake maintenance and renovation projects, distribute need-based financial aid, and cover administrative expenses that tuition revenue alone cannot support. We thank the many generous donors who help Xavier continue to provide value-based education in the Coachella Valley.

Aubrey Almanza Class of 2012
Twenty-five hundred miles away, in the snowy northeast, Aubrey Almanza (’12) reflects gratefully on her four years at Xavier. “At Xavier, you have this really intimate community where everyone knows everyone. There’s so much support, you don’t feel anonymous,” Aubrey said. Originally from Palm Desert, Aubrey attended grade school at St. Margaret’s Episcopal School. She chose Xavier because she wanted a smaller environment with a closer community. “Xavier does away with embellishments that distract students from becoming the best version of themselves,” she said. “You don’t have to worry about how good you look and no one really knows what background you come from.” While at Xavier, Aubrey played volleyball, swam on the swim team, participated in a Christian Life Community, served as President of the National Art Honors Society and worked on the prom committee. Now attending Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, Aubrey extols the foundation Xavier provided. “Xavier teaches the importance of communication with peers and teachers,” she said. “Too many kids are too intimidated to go to their professors, but at Xavier, you’re taught to talk to teachers whenever you have an issue or question.” Aubrey credits Xavier for academic preparation, but also for helping foster the right desires. “Xavier stands out for its ability to teach students how to consciously better themselves,” she said. “The capacity to critically reflect is something young people are not taught today.” In fact, Aubrey even takes a few moments each day to carry out one of the most important parts of Xavier, the daily examen. “Every day I take some time to meditate or reflect. I think of what’s going on in my life, and if I think there’s something out of character, I make a plan to change it,” Aubrey said. At Johns Hopkins, Aubrey is studying journalism, and she said she loves the Baltimore, Maryland school. “I feel like my school is electric,” she said. “Every single student here has so much going for them and there’s always so much buzz about who’s creating what and who’s inventing what.” As for the future, Aubrey hopes to write more and travel. “Writing is my passion,” Aubrey said. “I feel like I would be happy creating, whether it be novels, speeches, plays or children’s books.”
+ Deceased
She hopes to study abroad as well, especially at Oxford University. She also intends to spend time in New York City, London and Paris. “There’s a lot of world to be seen, and I’d like to get on it.”

Gregory M. Friscia Memorial Fund The Gregory Friscia Memorial Fund was created in 2013 when Xavier student Gregory Martin Friscia died at the age of 17. The son of loving and devoted parents David and Karen Friscia, Greg died March 24, 2013, from head trauma sustained in a skate boarding accident. Greg was a model student durring his time at Xavier. Everyone at Xavier had the privilege of watching him blossom into a wonderful young man who was admired by his classmates and respected by his teachers. He was a scholar and an athlete and friend to many. He had a sense of humor and a positive, upbeat attitude towards everything and everyone. He had a zest for life and a beautiful smile, which brightened everyone’s day. His family hopes that the memory of Greg will inspire future Xavier students to be well rounded, intellectually curious, kind, and dedicated to the ideals of a scholar-athlete.

Doug and Donna Martin For Doug and Donna Martin, the decision to support Xavier College Prep and Jesuit education was an easy one. “We see Xavier as the top of the line,” said Mr. Martin. “We believe that academics, education, and community service are the key. What we see here, it doesn’t get any better.” Mrs. Martin echoed her husband’s passion for Xavier. “We feel strongly that athletics or any activity where you work for others is a great preparation for life,” she said. “Xavier also feels that’s important.” The Martins know about good education. They met at Stanford, where both attended as undergraduates. After Stanford, Mr. Martin attended Loyola Law School, and since that time, has practiced in the areas of trust, probate, and commercial real estate, a career that he says he’s loved. “You’re dealing with people’s wishes, what they want to accomplish, who they want to benefit,” he said. “It really requires a lot of analysis, input and interaction with people.” The Martins’ interest in Jesuit education goes back a long way. Mr. Martin is himself a product of Jesuit education, having attended Loyola High School in Los Angeles, where he was later followed by his son. Mr. Martin credits his time at Loyola for preparing him for the rigors of Stanford. “Loyola frankly made Stanford, not necessarily easy, but it put me light years ahead because of the background and emphases,” said Mr. Martin. For the Martins, an outstanding education is the key. “We strongly believe in education,” Mr. Martin said. “Our four children have 24 years of higher education, and we think education is one of the things parents can make available to their children.” The Martins first heard about Xavier in 2004, when friends introduced them to Xavier’s founders. Mrs. Martin, thrilled at the possibility of a Catholic high school, was nevertheless worried that the school might not have any funds. “I thought, ‘Why don’t we do $100 a month?’” she said. “It’s not so bad when you just give a little bit each month.” Mr. and Mrs. Martin, La Quinta residents since 1991, are regular golfers and tennis players, and they support a number of schools and charities both in the valley and beyond.

Magis: The Opportunity to do MORE
J
esuits use the Latin word magis, or “more,” to inspire in others and themselves a boundless desire to reach ever-higher levels of excellence. At Xavier College Prep, we ask our students to make the most of their talents, to put forth their best effort and to do more than they think is possible. We will expect no less from our graduates and our Xavier community. Academic excellence is not enough: we are here to form “men and women with and for others,” for the common good. We are dedicated to nurturing graduates who will serve those most in need of their talents. After all, it was St. Ignatius of Loyola’s idea that the objective of a Jesuit education is to prepare people to serve others for the greater glory of God,
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam by constantly adapting our educational goals and methods to contemporary life. In the preceding pages, every effort has been made to carefully and deliberately record each gift and donor accurately, taking into account the love and thoughtfulness of each gift given.
