X THE MAGAZINE OF XAVERIAN BROTHERS HIGH SCHOOL

Dear Friends of Xaverian,

averian Brothers High School ﬁ rst opened its doors in 1963 and celebrated

its ﬁ rst graduation ceremony in 1967. T is spring, now 56 graduating classes

later, we celebrated another ﬁ rst. It was the ﬁ rst time in Xaverian history that

we had a graduate who is both the son and the grandson of Xaverian alumni. Joseph

“JB” Gilmore ’22 is the ﬁ rst third-generation graduate of Xaverian Brothers High

School. His father, Joseph Gilmore, Jr., was a graduate from the Class of 1988 and his

grandfather, Joseph Gilmore, was a member of Xaverian’s third graduating class, the

Class of 1969. T at makes JB a double-legacy!

As our school marches on through the decades, change is inevitable. Last year we

marked a far less celebratory ﬁ rst here at Xaverian; it was the ﬁ rst time there were no

Xaverian Brothers working at our school. Whether as teachers,

coaches, counselors, administrators, or trustees, the Xaverian

Brothers worked together for nearly six decades to build and run

our beloved school. They steadfastly served the young men in their

charge and diligently cared for the campus. Today, the legacy of the

Brothers lives in each young man educated in the Xaverian tradition,

and in the women and men who are dedicated to carrying on the

Brothers’ powerful mission.

Throughout this magazine, you’ll see how the Brothers’ legacy is

being richly embodied today. It’s in each member of the Class of

2022, as they embark on the next chapter of their lives, bringing the

gifts of Xaverian education with them (page 2). It’s in our faculty like

Ms. Jenna Vona, our Ryken Award winner (page 4), and Mr. David

Palmieri ’93, P ’23, winner of the National Catholic Educational

Association’s prestigious “Learn. Lead. Proclaim. Award.” (page

13). Their legacy lives in our athletes, as they take to the ice and

field (page 10). It lives in our performers, as they sing the National

Anthem at Fenway (page 6) and light up the stage during the spring

musical (page 16). And it’s present in our alumni, as they lead in

their communities and professions, and return to Xaverian to share

their experiences with our young men (page 24).

Whether we are graduating our 1st, 56th, or our 106th class, with

or without the presence of the Brothers on campus, we continue to

honor the original mission and vision of our founders. Over the past

59 years, our campus has grown and improved with the times; our

demographics have shifted dramatically; and our curriculum has

evolved to meet the needs of present-day students. But what holds

true no matter these changes is our mission. The Brothers gave us a

mission to educate young men in the Xaverian tradition in order to

help them identify their God-given gifts and talents so that they can

share them with a world in need. We continue to do just that today

with the support of our dedicated and talented faculty and staff, and

the generosity of our alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends.

Working together, we will continue to carry the Xaverian mission

into the world, because we are the living legacy.

Respectfully yours,

Jacob A. Conca ’94, Ph.D.

Summer 2022 Xaverian Magazine 1

n Saturday, May 14, Xaverian

Brothers High School celebrated

the Commencement of the Class

of 2022. Diplomas were conferred

to the 187 graduates by Head of School

Jacob Conca ’94, Ph.D. and Principal

Michael Nicholson, Ed.D. The Class of 2022

hails from 55 cities and towns and comprises

the 56th graduating class since Xaverian

opened its doors in Westwood in 1963.

Collectively, these young men have enrolled

at 94 different colleges and universities. They

have committed to continue their academic

careers at top institutions such as Harvard,

New York University, Notre Dame, Brown,

Boston College, Cornell, West Point, Syracuse,

Holy Cross, Providence College, Northeastern,

Tulane, Baylor, and many more.

Krish Shah is the Class of 2022

Valedictorian. Krish will attend Brown

University in the fall. He was an important

member on Xaverian’s Speech and Debate

Team, earning a State Champion title in Group

Discussion this year. He is an AP Scholar

with Distinction and was the recipient of

the Harvard Book Award. He is a member

of the National Honor Society and was a

NHS Scholarship Semifinalist. He served as a

Hawk-to-Hawk mentor to younger students

at Xaverian, and worked as a math tutor at

Mathnasium in Walpole. He also contributed

to Xaverian’s literary magazine, Te

Concordian, co-founded a new student club

called X-Ploring the World of Modern Science,

and worked on the daily student bulletin.

Zachary Usher is the Class of 2022

Salutatorian. Zach took 11 AP classes

during his time at Xaverian and is an AP

Scholar with Distinction. He held multiple

leadership positions within Xaverian’s Model

UN, including Head of Underclassmen

Recruitment, Junior Chair, and Senior Chair,

and also served as Co-President of the PolitiX

Club. Zach led the student bulletin news team

as Editor-in-Chief, helping to compile daily

news to share with the Xaverian community. In

addition, he was an active member of Speech

and Debate and the Student Council, serving as

Student Council Secretary his senior year. Zach

is a member of the National Honor Society and

was the recipient of the Rensselaer Medal. He

will attend Northeastern University.

Every year at commencement, one senior

is selected for the highest honor bestowed to a

graduate – the Xaverian Award. The members

of the graduating class, in concert with the

faculty and staff, nominate a senior for this

special honor and the recipient isn’t revealed

until the graduation ceremony. The Xaverian

Award recipient must have distinguished

himself by living the mission and core values

associated with Xaverian. This year’s recipient

is described by Dr. Conca as someone who is

“seen by many as a true giver, who believes

deeply in service to others. It is not uncommon

to find this young man volunteering his time

in support of worthy causes and charities,

leading a campus ministry retreat, or assisting

our youngest students as they begin their

Xaverian experience.”

The winner of the 2022 Xaverian

Award is Tyler Stearns. Among many

extracurricular activities, Tyler is a four-year

track athlete, a member of the Business Club,

XAVERIAN’S RYKEN AWARD WINNER

Ms. Jenna Vona

s. Jenna Vona has been lighting up the Xaverian

hallways and classrooms with her smile and

her dedication to fostering a positive student

experience since 2009. Now 12 years later, she carries the title

of 2021 Ryken Award recipient, the highest honor bestowed

each year to one faculty or staff member at Xaverian Brothers

High School (and at each Xaverian Brothers Sponsored

School).

Ms. Vona is a theology teacher, currently teaching grades

7 and 9. Though Xaverian was her first teaching position, she

didn’t set out to become a teacher initially. She holds dual

master’s degrees, one in theology and one in mental health,

which is how she started out her career as a behavioral

therapist. However, it didn’t take long for her to realize that

her true passion was sharing her love of theology in

the classroom, and that is how she came to be a

teacher at Xaverian.

Known for her ability to make students

and colleagues alike feel seen and valued,

Ms. Vona has been active in the community

working to ensure a positive student

experience and to promote a healthy

atmosphere of respect. Along with Ms.

Mary Briody, she co-founded Students

Against Destructive Decisions

(SADD) in 2013. Additionally,

in 2017 Ms. Vona and Mr. Jim

Conley, Director of Campus

Ministry, founded a club

dedicated to accompanying

LGBTQ students and

their allies at Xaverian.

It’s called Without

X-Ception, which

pays homage to an

excerpt from the

Catechism of the

Catholic Church (CCC

478) stating, “The Sacred

Heart of Jesus...is quite rightly

considered the chief sign and

symbol of that…love with which

the divine Redeemer continually

loves the eternal Father and all

human beings without exception.”

The Ryken Award is bestowed each December as part

of Xaverian Brothers High School’s Founder’s Day liturgy,

which celebrates Theodore James Ryken, founder of the

Congregation of St. Francis Xavier (more commonly

known as the Xaverian Brothers). It signifies an exceptional

commitment to Ryken’s vision and dedication to the core

values of a Xaverian Brothers education. Each year, Xaverian

faculty and staff nominate colleagues to win the award. Ms.

Vona says this makes it all the more overwhelming that

she was chosen. “I still feel like a baby here, even after 12

years. I am surrounded by talented colleagues — those we

call ‘the giants’ — who have been here 20, 30, and 40 plus

years. To be recognized among a group of people who are so

excellent at their jobs is truly overwhelming.” For Ms.

Vona, “the giants” she gratefully mentions as her

mentors at Xaverian include previous Ryken

Award winners, Mr. David Palmieri ’93,

P ’23, Mrs. Catherine Douglas, P ’21, ’24,

Mr. Alexander Salachi, P ’18, and Mr.

Garrett Bowers ’87, P ’21, ’24.

As the Ryken Award celebrates those

individuals who embody the Xaverian

mission, it seemed only appropriate to ask

Ms. Vona how she believes one lives out

the mission each day. She says,

“Brother Ray (Brother

Raymond Hoyt C.F.X., ’70)

made such a strong impression

on me, because he made it a

point to know kids and know

their names. When someone

comes into our center,

it’s so important to say

‘hello’ using their name.

Those small moments of

recognition are meaningful

to kids, and it makes them

feel like there is somebody

here who knows them. Being

known and being seen is at the

heart of what we talk about when

we say every person has dignity and

every person has value. Being able to

make those connections, even in really

small ways, that’s mission.”

RECORD-SETTING GALA

In Honor of the Xaverian Brothers

aturday, April 30 was a truly incredible

evening at Xaverian! Nearly 600 alumni,

parents, trustees, faculty, and staff joined

us as we celebrated the 25th Xaverian

Gala, paying gratitude to Te Living Legacy of the

Xaverian Brothers. It was phenomenal to have

so many in attendance to honor the work of the

Brothers here at Xaverian. And we simply could

not let the opportunity pass us by to finally present

Brother Daniel Skala, C.F.X., General Superior

of the Xaverian Brothers and former headmaster

of Xaverian, with the Xaverian Medal he was

scheduled to receive in March of 2020. It was so

affirming to gather as a community in celebration of

our history, tradition, mission, and values.

Thanks to the generous support of the Xaverian

community, the 2022 Gala brought in $657,800.

That makes this gala our highest grossing event in

history! Proceeds will benefit the scholarship fund,

helping to ensure that all qualified young men who

want to attend Xaverian are able to do so, regardless

of their families’ finances.

s the thermometer crept up to 88°,

14 Xaverian students tied their

blue and gold “XB” ties and donned

their navy blue sport coats, preparing

to take the field at Fenway Park. This

was Sunday, May 22, and the X-Men,

Xaverian’s a capella group, had the

once-in-a-lifetime honor of singing the

National Anthem at the afternoon Red

Sox game. It was the final performance

of the year for the ensemble, who served

pivotal roles at a variety of Xaverian

events, from the fashion show in the fall

to the gala in the spring. As a hush fell

over the crowd at their introduction,

the X-Men’s voices swelled out over the

ballpark. With a round of applause and

the rallying cry of “Play Ball!”, the game

began. What followed was a dramatic

Red Sox vs. Seattle battle that went into

the 10th inning, when the Sox finally

clinched the win, 8-4.

Congratulations to the X-Men and

Mr. Murray Kidd, Xaverian’s Choral

Director, for an exceptional year of

performances!

n May 20, Xaverian enjoyed

three truly special guests! Our

own Matt Hasselbeck ’93

came back to campus with his friend,

the one and only GARTH BROOKS, to

speak to our rising juniors. The talk was

put on by Garth’s “Stay in the Game”

program. It’s part of his Teammates

for Kids Foundation, through which

Garth partners with local pro athletes to

speak to students (usually at the college

level) about the importance of certain

values such as character, respect,

and discipline. Later that afternoon,

Maurice “Mo” Hurst ’13 (of the San

Francisco 49ers) Zoomed in to continue

the conversation on the importance of

hard work and finishing the year strong.

His presentation was open to all grades

and was sponsored by Xaverian’s Office

of Community, Culture, and Equity.

Thank you so much to Mo, Matt, and

Garth for inspiring our young men to

put in the hard work and be the best

teammate possible, whether on the

field, on the stage, in the classroom, or

in life.

averian’s first-ever FIRST® robotics

team was formed in the spring of 2021,

preparing for its initial competitive

season in winter 2022. With Mr. Chris Roche

(computer science teacher) and Mr. John

Tassinari (science teacher) at the helm, the team

quickly got to work researching, designing,

building, and refining a robot to compete

in the FIRST® Tech Challenge. Their first

step? Deciding on a team name. While every

team competing has a number (Xaverian is

team #19460), having a compelling name is

important. That’s how team #19460 became

known as “Hawk Robotics — The Ryken Force.”

The Ryken Force gathered multiple

afternoons a week and throughout vacations

from May 2021 into the winter in order to build

their robot for competition. This year’s FIRST®

challenge, “Freight Frenzy,” required teams

Hawk Robotics—The Ryken Force

to build a robot that could navigate a playing

field, picking up game pieces (“freight”), and

depositing them into specific holders. From

coding, to 3D design and printing, to robot

building and mechanics, students worked in the

robotics lab and in the X-Ploration Center to

perfect their robot. They had a great first season

of competition despite cancellations and delays

due to COVID-19. On Saturday, February 19,

the team traveled to Canton High School to

compete in the FIRST® “Who Let the Bots Out”

robotics competition. In a field of 25 teams,

the Ryken Force performed extremely well and

made it to the playoffs, an honor reserved for

the top 12 teams. In a tough competition, the

Ryken Force team lost to the eventual winners

of the tournament, but the team’s robot showed

impressive power to get over barriers and score

points. It was a great start for the inaugural

season of FIRST® robotics at Xaverian.

A programmer’s work is never done! Despite

the season ending, the Ryken Force went right

back into meetings to create even better robots

so they’ll be ready for competition next year.

This May, they had the opportunity to visit

the production and testing facilities at Boston

Dynamics—the renowned robotics company

known for its robots, such as “Atlas,” “Spot,” and

“Big Dog.” It was a thrilling day for the students

as they toured the facility, seeing how the robots

were built and tested. According to Mr. Roche,

the students asked good questions and watched

with amazement as the Atlas robot balanced,

cartwheeled, walked, and ran. He says they

returned with new ideas and excitement for

robotics!

Congratulations, Dr. Dacey and Dr. McGilvray!

Summer 2022 Xaverian Magazine 7

ALL REVVED UP

he word “exotic” within the term “exotic cars” gets its

name because they are a completely alien phenomenon

to most. But for a lucky few, the most exotic of cars, the

ones that trump the performance and value of any other

road-going vehicle, hit the heart in a special place. In

March, Xaverian’s Car Club visited Audrain Automobile

Museum in Newport with their moderator, Mr. Joe Sotelo (theology

teacher), to feast their eyes on the museum’s recent exhibit, “What’s the

Super in Supercars?”

Whether it’s reviewing recent automotive developments, learning

about the maintenance and mechanics of car modifications or ownership,

or just debating the pros and cons of the most specific corners of the

industry, Car Club is a place of conversation for Xaverian’s automotive

enthusiasts. And for the dozen students who attended the trip to Audrain,

it was our good fortune to experience some of history’s most fabled cars.

From the $20+ million 1994 McLaren F1, a car whose owner has trekked

the three-seated, 618 horsepower, six-speed manual hypercar between

Florida and Montana numerous times, to the Lamborghini Reventon

Roadster, an ultra-rare (one of 12), carbon fiber bodied menace of a car

owned by Ralph Lauren, the students in Car Club took in an array of

machines that they will most likely never experience in the same place

again. In all, the exhibit featured 16 cars and one bike, representing a

variety of manufacturers and eras in automobile history from the 1960s to

today—a collection worth more than $100 million. Getting up close and

seeing these vehicles in the flesh is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most

people, and many of my fellow students were left speechless.

The stories behind each vehicle made for interesting conversation and

they gave perspective to how these cars are maintained and owned. Take

the black 2003 Ferrari Enzo for example. It’s a car that is older than most

of the Car Club’s members but still has less than 60 miles on the odometer.

Shameful, I know. But that number is somewhat justified by its rarity, being

just one of 12 black Enzo’s ever made and only one of the remaining six

which haven’t been totaled. Or take the ultra-limited 2005 Mercedes-Benz

CLK DTM AMG. There’s a car where only 100 were ever produced, whose

owners were on a VIP invite-only allocation list, paying roughly $300,000

for the original purchase. The CLK DTM packs a 5.5 liter supercharged V8

producing 574 horsepower through a five-speed automatic transmission with

paddle shifters. It’s electronically limited to a top speed of 200 mph, a number

that could undoubtedly be much higher without the restriction, and a 0-60

mph time of just 3.9 seconds. Audrain also featured the infamous Porsche

Carrera GT, the idolized Ferrari F40, a more modern McLaren, the 620 R, and

of course a certain Xaverian-colored 2019 Bugatti Chiron Sky View.

In short, the exhibit was performance car nirvana, and I consider myself

lucky to have seen it.

Te Xaverian Car Club was particularly impressed with this Xaverian-colored 2019 Bugatti Chiron Sky View at the Audrain Automobile Museum.
