Brian A. Ross, Principal WELCOME!Fr. Thomas C. Lilly, PastorThe small but mighty graduating class of Class of 2023, five in total–2 youngwomen and 3 young men–all extraordinary and all imbued with the attributesof a Lumen Christi graduate, who together secured $1.16 million dollars inacademic scholarships for their college educations; Dear Friends and Families of Lumen Christi Catholic High School,Fall is always an exciting time to be a Principal! The previous years’ successes arestill in the forefront of my mind and the upcoming year is fresh with promise. As Ireflect on the 2022-23 school year and look ahead to 2023-24, this feelsparticularly true! While too numerous to adequately capture all, a few of lastyear’s successes worth noting include: A Division 1A State high school basketball championship secured by our Lady Archangels under the direction ofUAA Alum and professional basketball player Coach Kenny Barker; Over $55,000 in new local, private and nonprofit grant funding to support the expansion of our robust sciencedepartment with new tables, microscopes, and other materials;A highest ever (98%) return rate of our existing student body during spring re-enrollment, which dovetails intolooking ahead at this year. When we said goodbye on May 22, 2023 it was to 97 students; when our doorsopened just three months later it was to 131 students, including 41 new ones from 27 new families. We areliterally bursting at the seams!These successes are possible because of the sacrifices made on a daily basis by parents, friends and benefactors ofthe school; through the hard work and dedication of an amazing team of educators and support staff, but mostimportantly by the grace of God from Whom all blessings flow! -Brian Ross, Principalprinciples of justice and love; and a desire to form the whole person to the greater glory of God. These are the thingsthat make a Catholic school vibrant and unique. As you read through this Annual Report we hope you see thoseattributes shining forth in the pictures and words that seek to capture another great year in the life of Lumen ChristiCatholic High School. It’s in a spirit of deep gratitude that we offer this publication, celebrating the gifts,achievements, and generosity of the Lumen Christi community this past year. Thank you, and enjoy! - Fr. Tom Lilly, PastorBy God’s grace, and with insightful leadership of an outstanding Principal, personallyinvolved faculty and staff, and tremendous donations of time, talent, and treasurefrom supporters like yourself, Lumen Christi is thriving as a place of encounter withthe person of Jesus Christ! He is the reason our school exists. Families entrust theirsons and daughters to us because our school teaches and models the truth of theGospel message. In looking to the future with steadfast hope, we stand ready towelcome new families and prepare their children to seek and fulfill God’s plan forlearning and life. The truly important things that make a Catholic school great are theintangibles; firm foundation in the faith; a desire to emulate Christ in the service ofothers; a lively and challenging academic environment; a community built on the Celebrating 28 years of the Light of Christ!

A lifelong Alaskan who enjoys hunting, fishing and occasionallydabbling in the law as a litigation trial attorney, I’ve worked as ahumble and dedicated servant in the Lumen Christi communityfor many years. I started first as a volunteer for the manygrowing sports programs at Lumen Christi and am now a proud,cheering parent of two daughters who attend here. I’ve servedas a member of the Board and Vice President since 2020 and inboth capacities have sought to demonstrate a commitment tothe school’s core values of Faith, Family and Excellence. I’m sothankful for the opportunity to again stand with my fellowparents and community members to lend a hand in theeducation of our children. I firmly believe that a traditionalCatholic education stands as a cornerstone in the foundation ofcivilized communities. At its core, education must empowerindividuals with knowledge, equipping them with the tools andskills necessary to question, understand, and transform theworld around them. As a Board, we must insist that theinfluence of education transcend mere academic knowledge; itmust nurture creativity, instill moral values, and foster criticalthinking. Our values of Faith, Family and Excellence are not justabout reading, writing, or arithmetic; they’re about cultivating alifelong passion for learning under the ever watchful eye of ourLord. Thank you for the opportunity to again serve.Aaron Sperbeck 2022-23 SCHOOL BOARD It has been my privilege to serve on the LumenChristi School Board as a member and as yourSchool Board President these last four years.Working with the principal and pastor, teachersand coaches through lean years and tighteningof purse strings; COVID restrictions and onlinelearning; its aftermath; and then the incrediblegrowth of our student body, has been a joy towitness. Collaborating with such a dedicated andthoughtful Board to create the “SpeakersSeries” and advise on policy focused on Faith,Family and Excellence truly is a calling shared bythose who work within these walls. As a lifelongCatholic, this experience has only deepened myfaith and my belief in Catholic education.

The “And Then Some” award recognizes a student who makes a significant andpositive impact during any given semester. To be considered, the nominee mustgo above and beyond that which is normally expected of a Lumen Christistudent. Student accomplishments should set them apart from their peers andshould have a noticeable contribution to the school and community at large. Thisis not an academic ability award nor is it an athletic prowess award. Rather, thisaward showcases a student who best exemplifies and lives daily our core valuesof Faith, Family, and Excellence...and then some. The 2023 “And Then Some Award” winner was 12th grader EMILY ROSS.Described by teachers as someone who “...always volunteers to help otherswhen her work is done…..makes good, and thoughtful suggestions….is friendlyand mindful…..goes above and beyond when working in a team setting…exhibits exceptional sportsmanship on and off the court…..” Emily clearlyexemplified the ideals of this award. It was a joy for her teachers to watch hermature into a young woman who upholds the ideals of a Lumen Christigraduate. Congratulations, EMILY!...And Then Some!SHOUT OUTS!It was a season of hard work,endless practices, injuries andrecoveries. It was a season ofdetermination and of heart. In theend, it was a season of champions!Congratulations to our LadyArchangels, their head coach KennyBarker and Assistant Coach MarisaMack.

It was a spectacular night for fundraising at the "Denim & Diamonds" Gala on February 11th, 2023. The eventmade history by grossing just over $250,000 in support of the extraordinary students who attend Lumen Christi.The Gala offered both live and silent auctions including 400+ items featuring vacation getaways, exclusive diningexperiences, student projects, and more. The "Fund-a-Future" bid-card raise which supports student scholarshipsbrought in an astounding $81,000 with 3 donors each pledging a full year's tuition ($9,500). We were humblednot just by their generosity, but by that of everyone who gave during that portion of the night. Over 260 tickets were sold for the event, which was held in the completely-transformed-for-the-evening schoolgymnasium! Attendees enjoyed a delicious meal courtesy of The Bridge Catering and upped their fun for thenight by purchasing raffle tickets and elbowing their way to the front of the pack for the ever-popular "DessertDash."Thank you to the Gala Committee (Anne Gore, Carla Blackford-Esary, Joscelyn VanDuren, Shareen Crosby,Celine Kaplan, Tracy Ross, Merrileigh Boring, Yvette Tousignant and Patrick Muller) for their hard work inorganizing such a fantastic event.

While the 2022-23 school yearunofficially kicked off in early Augustwith our back-to-school registrationand family BBQ, celebrating our firstMass as a community always feelslike the ‘official’ start of the year! We were so thankful to have ArchbishopBellisario join us on August 22nd for bothMass and then a blessing of all classroomsand offices. Thank you, Archbishop, forstarting our year off right!After being dormant through COVID,“our Big A/little a” (“A” for Archangel)program was back with a bang! Underthe guidance of Mrs. Bouton, our seniorclass reignited this time–honoredmentorship program, pairing each new 7th and 8th graders (little a’s) with an upperclassman “Big A.”Thank you Mrs. Bouton and the senior class of 2023. United in faith! We love our sisterschool, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton andhelping out at their Annual HalloweenCarnival is always great fun for ourstudents. Thank you to our SchoolBoard for organizinganother excellent SpeakerSeries, this one featuringMr. Chris McKenna,founder of “Protect Young Eyes,” who shared both excellent and practical advice onhow parents and students alike can navigate today’s digitalculture. AUGUSTSEPTEMBERNOVEMBERNo matter the year, November always seems to come and go in a blur. From the junior high basket-ball season starting; to biology class “elections”(to determine the most important part of a cell’s structure); togetting bills passed in U.S. Government’s mock Congress; toexploring different forms of kinetic energy and all othersubjects in-between, students still made time to reflect and share thanks for the goodness and grace in their lives. SPORTS, SPORTS AND MORE SPORTSIn addition to being active in the community, with our sister school and in the classroom, our junior high and high school students had busy fall sports seasons, as well. Co-ed Soccer (Junior High andHigh School); Girls High School Volleyball, and the Senior(Advanced) Rifle Team were all busy on the field, court andrange. DECEMBERFaith in Action....it’s a thing! While our high school students were on anovernight retreat at St.Therese’s camp in mid-September, our juniorhigh students helpedclear overgrown gravesites at Memorial Park Cemetery. Faith in Action Fact:by the end of the 2022-23 school year, Lumen Christistudents will have collectively donated over 3,000 hours ofvolunteer time in service to our school, Catholic parishes andour community at large. Our first semester closed out with Debate Team wins; the start of high school basketball; historical escape room victories; our Jesse Tree ornament tradition; Advent; Reconciliation service; and finally–the end of the semester and final exams. A busy but exciting close to 2022!THE YEAR IN REVIEW Last but not least in October, Mr. Doug Berry, joined ourstaff as the new Campus Minister. Welcome, Doug! OCTOBER

MAY May is always the most bittersweetmonth of the year. Last senior photos around campus; the senior drive–by; transferring the Light of Christ to thejunior class; Baccalaureate Mass and finally graduation–these all happen within just a few weeks of each other andthen our year comes to a close. APRILMARCH As Lent continued, so did our annual tradition of student–led Stations of the Cross each Friday, as well as themuch loved and teacher provided heartysoup lunches. Teacher charge a nominal feefor homemade soups with students then choosing a charityfor the funds to be directed to, after Easter. March was also very busy with what else? Basketballregional and state championship tournaments! After severalstrong years for our boys’ team, this year it was all about ourLady Archangels, who captured both the region and statetitles. We couldn’t be more proud of our girls both on andoff the court, with many players being named to all state andconference teams, as well as the all academic team as well. FEBRUARYAfter months of preparation, “Denimand Diamonds” – the school’s Annual Fundraising Gala – was held on February 10th. The eventwas not only a great success but loads of fun. That funcontinued just a few days later with our clever 12th graders and their “Senior Sundae” fundraiser. Ash Wednesday was marked with a Rosary, a beautiful Mass and Reconciliation. Returning after a restful Christmas break, we gathered with other Catholic school students to celebrate Mass at Our Lady of Guadalupe Co-Cathedral during “Celebrate Catholic Schools Week.” We also welcomed five new students into our National Honor Societychapter, the largest group of inductees ever! Principal Ross also delivered his “State of the School” address to the Lumen Christicommunity on the last Tuesday of the month. This annualpresentation has become a communication cornerstone inoutlining the current school environment, finances andenrollment projections, as well as detailing short and long termsgoals and activities. The high school basketball season was infull swing with wins and losses for both teams, but with playsbeing worked and major skills developing. JANUARY CLOSE UP!For the first time in Lumen Christi history,twenty–three students travelled to WashingtonD.C. to witness our government in action. Meeting with elected officials; touring the Capitol; visitingtreasured monuments and historical sites– it was a very busy week for our students and their chaperones. We’re thankful for the support of the parents and adults who helpedmake this opportunity available and are certain the experiences created lifelongmemories for this next generation of engaged Alaskans. We were also excited to once again host Science Day for 5th and 6th grade students from Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. “Elephant toothpaste,” frog and squidanatomy, liquid nitrogen ice cream, newly hatched babychicks–these hands on activities and more kept students busyand entertained at this informative STEM event. In addition to saying goodbye to the small but mighty classof 2023 in May, we also said goodbye to two belovedteachers, Mr. Mike Bauzon and Mrs. Sierra Zorea. Both leftus to become students themselves and we trust it won’t belong before Mr. Bauzon will be bedside as a nurse and Mrs.Zorea settling legal cases as an attorney! We are thankfulfor their years of service to our students and schoolcommunity and while they will be missed terribly, we wishthem the very, very best in the years to come. Thank Youfor a fantastic year!THE YEAR IN REVIEWContinued
