By the Numbers
A “Gentle” man proud to possess the Freedom to Exercise his conscience as it is continues to
be formed. n A Heights Man will still kiss his mother goodbye — even if his friends are watching!
n A gentleman who serves others. n Does his work with attention to detail, arrives on time, well
dressed & well groomed. n A guy who doesn’t need to show off to feel manly. n Faithful, Fearless,
& Fun ! n Someone who can set a goal and overcome all obstacles to achieve it. n A knight in
shining armor!! n A Heights Man is a scholar and an athlete, a student and a teacher, a follower
and a leader, a friend and a brother. n A Heights Man is someone who comes home muddy but
still learns a lot! n A Heights Man is one who knows how to take on responsibility, do well with it,
and have fun with it at the same time. n A Heights Man is someone who knows how to think for
himself, is reliable in a pinch, and is a well-rounded person in sports, the arts, and academics. n
A great Heights Man has a brave mother willing to snap on those rubber gloves and dig through
the Lost & Found. n A Heights Man should defend the weak, like maybe someone who is smaller
and getting picked on. n A Heights Man’s special talent is that he is passionately curious. n A
Heights Man stands up for his friends, and whatever he believes in. n A Heights Man will always be
adventurous, like going to Gettysburg or Antietam. n A Headmaster smiling and greeting each boy
by name every morning, rain or shine at the school entrance! n A Heights Man, from whichever
clan, is a true friend (just don’t get a big head, Red Rose). n A Heights Man’s curiosity survives
“formal” education. (funny - kind of) n I can’t believe I’m saying this...doesn’t play video games
all day. n A Man Fully Alive! n A man of character and virtue; wit and zeal; one of kindness and
brotherhood. Being a Heights Man is an example of a real man. n A man of conviction and strong
faith who knows how to be a good friend. n A man of conviction and strong faith. n A man of
strong character and integrity; someone you would be happy for your daughter to marry. n A
man who goes to mass every day to stay strong in his faith. n A man who has been educated in
the truth and can listen to the falsehoods shouted around him while still knowing inside him he
is right. n A man who stands up for what is right and works to never stray from the river of truth;
no matter the odds or consequences. n A man with conviction, someone that will not sell himself
out for personal gain. He is a man who sticks up for others not because he has incentive to do
so, but because he knows it is just. n A person who tells the truth to their friends. n A Respectful
Gentleman. n A smart strong young man. n A Strong Leader. n A third grade Heights Man does
not ask for help on his Math homework. n A warrior poet ! n Always opens his mom’s car door. n
Confidence with humility. Strength with flexibility. n Confident in Christ. n You can’t be scared of
much; you have to face your fears. If something goes wrong, you have to keep going. n Does the
dishes for his wife. I think my brother is a great Heights Man and, seriously, his wife has never
had to do the dishes. n Earlier this year I got stung by a bunch of bees and Mr. Heil helped get
them all off of me. So he’s a Heights Man. n Everlasting Tenacity. n Loving, caring, kind, helpful,
strong, holy, smart. n Giving someone your lunch when they forget it. n Goes about his work
without any fanfare and completes the job to the best of his ability. n Greets you with a firm
handshake. n Has a sense of humor. n He is a young man whose only school supply is a pen. n
Heights Man = Heights Boy + Crescite n Holds the door and insists that you go first. n Honest.
Efficient. Innovative. Goal setter. Honorable. Trustworthy. Successful. Modest. Awesome. Nice.
n I liked the definition that I heard from the headmaster along the lines of: “a protector”, however
I prefer the word defender. A free man, I would add. n It’s how you shake hands and how you look
people in the eye. I think this is part of how you show respect to teachers. n Looks for what is,
and not for what he thinks should be. n Maintains character regardless of adversity or temptation.
n Sometimes sleeps late… n One who steps out of the pew and lets his mom go ahead of him to
Communion. n A Heights Man dives for the ball, then turns right around and helps an opponent up
off the ground. n One who understands the importance of the family. n A Heights Man is a fighter,
one who is strong enough to stand up to the culture. n One who, as a college junior, can be seen
on a national architecture blog wearing a Gold Cross clan shirt. n Passionate about what they
do. n Prudence, to know what is right. Courage, to do it. n Rough and Tough. n Most importantly,
a Heights Man is someone who can take the talents that he has been given and multiply them,
changing the world one soul at a time. n Someone who gets back on his bike after a bad fall
and rides the remaining 200+ miles to complete a goal he set with his friends. n A Heights
Man looks you in the eye because he hopes to look God in the face. n A Heights Man preserves
communities. n A Heights Man serves his mom breakfast in bed on Mothers Day! n Someone
who is civil to all, friendly to the mean, and friends with the good. n Someone who secretly
acquires wisdom; then displays it perfectly at the right time...perhaps just a few months after
he graduates. n A cavalier. n Spontaneously volunteers to say the blessing at dinner. n Stands
up for someone who is bullied on. n To be a gentleman in all that you do, like being a good
sportsman or helping a friend learn something they don’t know. n Universal, well rounded. n
Well read, and covered in mud. n When something bad happens and things are a lot different
for you, you might decide to give up something you really like and adapt without whining. n

As we pause to reflect on the 2011-12 school year, I want to thank all of you whose gifts and time
made it possible for us to carry on with this mission. Through your gifts, you were an integral part of
every class, relationship, and success. By all accounts, your support this year was again remarkable:
n
n
I am convinced that this generosity is a product and reflection of the outstanding work of our
faculty. It’s their skill and commitment that creates the margin of excellence at The Heights, and
your gifts that support them as they work to develop Heights Men. It has always been thus at The
Heights, and with your continued partnership, it will stay that way.
Gratefully,

s we prepared to release this year’s Annual Report, we asked many of you to answer
the question: What is a Heights Man? So many of your answers - featured in the front
of this publication - paint the picture of a journey from boyhood to manhood. And not
just physically. After all, as former Heights teacher Eddie Smith used to say, “Being a male is a
biological characteristic. Being a Man is a question of character.” It’s no surprise that many of your
responses speak in terms of ideals: discipline, courage, humility, dedication. I think this is right.
At the core, our mission is about the pursuit of ideals. In a world where the vision for education is
sometimes limited to filling young minds with information, pressing on to also mentor the pursuit
of noble ideals stands out as a bold yet necessary challenge. It’s necessary for the happiness and
success of our students, and it’s necessary for the society we hope they will form and serve as
husbands, priests, professionals, and, yes, “The kind of man you want your daughter to marry.”

Headmaster’s Letter
General And Admin
Since the economic crisis, and in particular
since the re-financing of our building loan
with Capital One, expense management
has been a significant focus of the
administration. A major success of the year
included transition to a self-funded model
for our health insurance plan. The move
provides an added and necessary level of
control over rapidly rising health care costs.
Our savings over the next five years will
likely be several hundred thousand dollars.

This year, under the leadership of Crescite
Fund Committee Chairs, Sarah and Matt
James (Patrick ’20), our parent committee
raised $674,029, exceeding the Board-set
goal of $650,000 and covering roughly
8% of total 2011-12 expenses. With a
record 532 donors, 24% of whom increased
their year-over-year giving, our annual
giving program has begun to achieve
much-needed stability across all gift
levels. Sarah James comments, “More and
more people are starting to see that the
future of The Heights, and retaining the
faculty we all love and respect, depends
on the continued generosity of all those
impacted by this place. We saw that this
year in strong participation numbers, new
scholarships, and growth in the Crescite
Fund. I think there’s a sense in the
community that, ‘We’re all in this together,’
and that’s very exciting.”

This year Heights students went on a
combined 58 field trips and “non-traditional”
learning experiences. Whether it’s
whitewater rafting down the Youghiogheny
river, all-campus Capture the Flag for
Clan Day, a flight to Rome and Venice
during Crescite Week, or even a cooking
class in the faculty lounge, these
experiences are much more than just a
change of pace. As Middle School Head
Andy Reed put it, “These were 58 chances
to inspire a spirit of adventure that
develops a student’s willingness to stretch
beyond limits of personal comfort; 58
ways for students to develop friendships
through shared experiences; 58 moments
that furthered our students’ appreciation
of nature and the beauty of creation.
58 unique opportunities for mentoring
between students and faculty. It’s not just
a change of pace, it’s part of who we are.”

Class of 2018
“My advisor will pull me out of class or lunch to walk around the courtyard
and talk. He asks, ‘How was your day? Having any trouble with your
classmates? What sorts of jobs are you doing around the house? Do you
want to go over the questions you missed on your last quiz?’ If you’ve
been acting up or did really bad on a quiz, going to the meeting can be
nervewracking. But it’s kind of like waiting in line for a rollercoaster.
You’re like, ‘It looks so scary.’ But then you get on, and it’s really fun.”

“My advisor focuses on three things: spiritual life, academic life, and my
interests and social life. Feedback is really important. If I just sit there
and don’t say anything, that’s not a good advisory meeting. But when
we do talk, I feel like my advisor knows a lot about me and he’s not just
giving me boring advice. I’ve had him as a teacher, and a baseball coach
too. If you think someone really wants to help you grow as a person, it’s
always good to hear the truth.”

his year there were more than 2,500 one-on-one advisory meetings between faculty and students.

“Advisory is an opportunity to meet with a teacher to discuss personal
aspects of every day life. Really about anything: family matters,
issues outside of school. Like, Mr. Moss, we were tied to each other at
20,000 feet during last year’s Crescite Trip Week to Ecuador. Any time we
rock climb, he’s my belayer. It’s that Heights relationship that makes me
feel comfortable to talk about anything. There’s not really a designated
time to meet. It’s up to the student to schedule a time. I guess you just
get out of it what you put in.”

Christmas Around The World brought together The Heights
Family during Advent in preparation for Our Lord’s Birth. Under
the leadership of Chair Stacy Kuzma, it was a grand gathering
of students, parents, brothers and sisters to celebrate our
different Christmas traditions, and to gain a better appreciation
of their meaning and beauty for all of us. Sharing a bountiful
feast of both international and family favorites, singing carols,
and simply visiting with other families made the occasion a
good way for The Heights to celebrate our common gratitude for
Our Savior’s Nativity.

2011 Chair Ruth Heinssen – after leading the Garden Party
committee for three years – knew how to plan for any weather.
Fortunately, the week-long rains ceased, the stars sparkled, and
our 375 guests enjoyed every aspect of the party – from the hors
d’oeuvres passed by student waiters, to the Crooked Hat Jazz
Band’s music, a beautiful buffet dinner, and drinks. As always, it
was gratifying to see so many parents, alumni, parents of alumni
and long-time friends come back to celebrate the new school year.
Once we set sail for Treasure Island, there was no turning back!
Over 400 “passengers” arrived on the legendary isle (the gym)
resulting in a record-setting fundraiser to benefit the School!
The auction committee – a hard working but equally fun loving
crew chaired by M’Liz Riechers, Treacy Krisztinicz, Rose Kolb and
Roxanne Smart – steered The Heights on a steady course with
a great spirit of adventure. Our online auction – another first
– proved very successful, as did the “fund-an-item” in the LIVE
auction which successfully raised all the funds necessary to
bring high speed internet access to our classrooms!
Our premiere event drew over 400 guests to the beautiful and historic
Organization of American States. From the first note of “To The Heights”
sung by Heights students, to the humorous but heartfelt clan toasts,
and student/faculty skit celebrating a Heights gentleman’s journey
through the Valley to his parting senior year, it was a wonderful
celebration of The Heights founding and mission. Thank you to co-chairs
Barbara and Alvaro Pereira and committee for making this Heights
tradition feel brand new.

CPR’s , short for Class Parent Reps, are
at the heart of each class and serve
a vital function in communicating
important information to fellow
parents in a timely, accurate, and
friendly way. From welcoming
new families, to publicizing events,
or letting other parents know of a
family’s special needs, the 2011-12
CPR’s kept their classes connected and
well-informed. Thank you again for a
job well done.

B ri a n S e a rby ’9 9, Cha i r p e r s o n
The 3rd annual Arts in the Courtyard once
again showcased the musical talent of
Heights alumni and friends, featuring
eclectic sounds ranging from rock, to The
Heights’ own A’capella group. As the bands
played, vendors provided tantalizing treats,
kids soared on the moon bounce, and
alumni caught up on old times. A special
thanks to Brian Searby who has chaired
the event for three consecutive years, and
all the sponsors and volunteers who helped
make AiC possible!

By the Numbers
When we asked the community during this year’s
Winter Auction to help fund the installation of
high-speed internet for our classrooms, 58 families
stepped forward to meet our needs. With gifts
ranging from $50 to $2,500, we exceeded our
$15,000 goal, raising an impressive $31,000...in
under 5 minutes! Crews came out over the summer
to dig and make all the connections in time for
the new school year. On behalf of our teachers and
students, “Thanks for putting the wind in our sails!

Our Mission
The Heights School is a private, independent, preparatory school for
boys, grades three through twelve. The School assists parents in the
intellectual, moral, physical, and spiritual education of their sons.
Dedicated teachers impart rigorous academic training in all major
areas of the liberal arts. Formation in virtue fosters respect for every
person, a desire to serve God and others, and an optimistic attitude
toward life’s challenges. The School’s Christian orientation and
spiritual formation are entrusted to Opus Dei, a Personal Prelature
of the Catholic Church.
