Cheverus senior Daniel Haskell has been awarded the prestigious QuestBridge scholarship and will attend Bowdoin College in Brunswick, ME.

This year there were 14,926 QuestBridge applicants nationwide. Haskell is one of just 1,127 Match Scholarship recipients and will receive financial aid for the full cost of tuition, room and board, supplies, and travel expenses. He is only the second Cheverus student to receive this scholarship. 

Haskell’s reaction to the news was, “Disbelief for a few minutes. Then relief. Then joy.”

The extensive application process includes ranking up to 12 QuestBridge partner schools. Bowdoin was among his preferred schools because it, “has a clear, influential mission...a great political science program, and it values diversity of perspective and personality.” Moreover, the culture of Bowdoin was very attractive to Haskell, “I wanted purposeful, deliberate, and diverse education, and Bowdoin seems uniquely inclined to such aspects. I also really love Maine.”

Haskell is an exceptional scholar, and he recognized the strong academic preparation he has received at Cheverus. He also pointed to something else that Cheverus has provided, “Cheverus gave me mission. I speak with the utmost sincerity when I say that Jesuit education has made my educational career and its future what it is.” He continued, “Since Freshman year, I have constantly been exposed to Catholic and Jesuit ideals. I have been...given the idea that education is not simply about economic success but about personal development for the sake of the other.”

A member of the Debate Team, focusing on Lincoln-Douglas Debate, Haskell is also a member of Model UN, Student Government, and the Mock Trial Team. Just this year, he started the Stag Argumentation Group for Equity. He is also a member of the Cheverus Drama Society and a playwright. His one-act play Doko Ka will be performed by the Cheverus Drama Society this year. Haskell is the son of Natalie and Dan Haskell ’90, an esteemed and long-standing member of the Theology Department. He is one of seven children and lives in Portland. 

“Whatever challenges college may throw my way, I will have the drive, the purpose, and the love to face them full-heartedly, to find joy in any strife. I’m grateful to all the teachers and faculty at Cheverus for giving me this gift,” he said. 

Please join us Wednesday, October 30, 2019 for a fascinating presentation from Heidi Weiker on the neurophysiology of teen stress. We will gather in the Sparta Room at 6 p.m. Please feel free to bring a friend.

Heidi Weiker, MSSA

Heidi has 30 years of experience in consulting and coaching, speaking and teaching, and curriculum design. She co-owns a contemporary training firm, Spherica LLC, through which she develops and instructs programs for Fortune 100 and 500 companies throughout North America, and academic and healthcare institutions.

Heidi’s insight comes out of her depth and breadth of experience with distinctly diverse individuals and groups – global leadership teams, at-risk youth, inner-city gangs, academic faculty, medical staff, and more. She’s grateful to have served as a direct Coach to numerous CEOs and their Executive Management Teams from various international corporations and firms. She is currently engaged in delivering plenaries, workshops and intensive programs in teen and adult stress resilience, positive-mindedness and command, mind focus, executive presence, and hi-touch connected communication.

Whether leading highly-charged interactions in the executive boardroom, working with teens in their elements, guiding team coaching sessions, or presenting at international conferences – Heidi facilitates candid, intellectual, and real-world dialogue. She has a relentless passion for inspiring others through creative and customized methods and is most recognized for her strong ability to relate with human beings of all ages and walks.

Heidi received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Miami University and her Master of Science in Social Administration from Case Western Reserve University, with a specialty in adolescent development. On the days she’s not teaching, she’s delved into scientific reading and evidence-based research, as well as writing her next books. Heidi is devoted to her faith, family and furry ones; and she loves the fine arts, photography, travel, volunteering, dance fitness, and being in nature.

A cultural exchange opens students’ eyes to the relevance of learning a language, sparks curiosity and creates mutual understanding. Traveling to a country where the language is spoken would be ideal but it is not always possible for all of our students. At Cheverus we have access to the extensive international network of Jesuit schools, the largest global educational network, that we can connect with virtually.

Last week, a group of students studying Spanish took time during Community Period to interact with students from Colegio San José de Villafranca de los Barros in Badajoz, Spain via video conferencing. 

This summer, Spanish teacher Laura Cholod met a teacher at this school through educatemagis.com, a website that aims to nurture a vibrant online community connecting educators from Jesuit and Ignatian schools around the world. As Jesuit schools, Cheverus and Colegio San José de Villafranca de los Barros share one mission.

Ms. Cholod and her Spanish colleague decided to integrate the heart of the four Universal Apostolic Preferences, pillars that will direct the mission of the Society of Jesus over the next 10 years, to this virtual exchange program. To break this down into three tangible goals for this coming year, the teachers decided  to follow this framework for the student communication between the two schools:

REFLECT – Who am I? Students introduce themselves through written letters that are peer-edited and uploaded to a shared “padlet” wall.

SHARE – Share about your school. Our students were asked about the parts of Cheverus life that they are most proud of and these attributes inspire them to be a “people for and with others,” what their dreams are, and what God-given talents they have been blessed with. 

DISCERN/ACT – How can students use talents and abilities to give back to the world? Students were asked to share how they can be “people for and with others” and strengthen bonds with students from Jesuit schools around the world. 

Ms. Cholod started with a geography lesson. Students first located the school on a map. Badajoz is a city in southwest Spain, close to the border with Portugal. Students then wrote letters of introduction to the students at our sister school. Last week, the students were able to 'meet' their peers via a video conference. “It was a thrilling day because we were able to see, hear, and speak with our new friends in Spain for the first time!” said Cholod. “The excitement and anticipation on both sides of the experience exceeded our expectations.”

Cholod hopes to continue the interaction with the Colegio San José de Villafranca de los Barros over the course of the school year.

Cheverus High School is pleased to announce three seniors have been named National Merit Semifinalists. Maeve Swift, Aidan Treutel, and Madeline Williams were recognized with this honor based on their performance on the PSAT administered last spring. They now have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,600 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million that will be offered next spring. Approximately 1.6 million nationwide took the PSAT last year. In its 65th year, the National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships.

The administration, faculty, and staff of Cheverus High School congratulate these three National Merit Semifinalists on their achievement. 

High Honors are awarded to those students who earn all A’s for semester grades.

On Saturday, April 6, the Chilean Exchange community said goodbye to this year’s exchange students, hosted by Grace Shimansky, Rustam Ahmadov, and Lily Paszyc from Cheverus and numerous other families from other high schools in Portland area.  The exchange is with a Jesuit school in Santiago, Chile, called Colegios Padre Hurtado y Juanita de los Andes (CPH-CJA), one of more than 800 schools that are part of the Jesuit global network, connected by a shared mission.

This exchange started in 2000 between Spanish teachers at Cheverus and English teachers at CPH-CJA in Santiago. Initially it was only Cheverus families opening their homes to Chilean students.  After 18 years, this exchange of goodwill has grown to include Waynflete, Casco Bay, Portland, Freeport, and Greely High Schools. This exchange embodies the Jesuit intention of “people for and with others” as we build understanding among schools, cultures, and nations in the Americas.

Three students from CPH-CJA attended classes at Cheverus and became part of our community. Students Nicolas, Josefa, and Emilia, joined by their teachers Francisco and Marcela, learned more about American culture and the Portland area over the course of the month they were at Cheverus. Emilia’s brother came to Cheverus on exchange almost ten years ago, so she had some idea about what to expect. All three students enjoyed their time at Cheverus and especially liked the school schedule that allows students to change classrooms during the day, something that does not generally happen in Chilean schools. The students, along with their host students, served together at Preble Street preparing meals and attended the sophomore retreat, which included rock climbing.

After a bilingual presentation to all World Language classes last week, the Chilean students encouraged students to consider participating in the exchange and attending school in Chile. Josefa noted that because both schools are Jesuit schools, “we share common values.” The exchange program is a tangible component of the global Jesuit network.  

Special thanks to the Cheverus host families and to Ms. Quinn for coordinating the exchange. Anyone interested in learning more about the Chilean exchange is encouraged to reach out to Ms. Quinn, Chair, World Languages department.

This four-day course allows rising seniors the opportunity to take the time to formulate and reflect upon one of the most significant pieces of writing they will produce as a high school student. What better time to formulate an essay without the pressure of an early action or early decision deadline looming. Your transcript and resume provide college admissions officers with all of your stats -- GPA, classes, clubs, awards, etc. -- but how do they find out about you? This workshop will assist you in writing an essay which reflects your own unique story.  We'll work on mechanics (grammar, sentence structure, proofreading!) but focus on the content of what you have to say.  Write an essay that makes a lasting impression -- of you!
