Congratulations to junior Schuyler Workmaster, whose artwork was chosen by popular vote as the winning entry in Arlington County's annual auto decal contest.
Workmaster was a finalist in the contest the previous two years, but her perseverance paid off this time.
"It's nice to see my efforts realized," she said. "I put a lot of work into my pieces and the recognition is appreciated. I'm overwhelmed by the amount of people who have supported me."
This week is National School Counseling Week -- a time to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors. National School Counseling Week, sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a college and career. This year's theme is "School Counselors: Helping Students Reach for the Stars."
At Bishop O'Connell we are grateful for the dedicated team of counselors who support our students and their families every day!
As we celebrate this special week, we encourage you to learn something new about our team from our Spotlight on Our Counselors page.

It's that time of year again for students of Bishop O'Connell. It's SUPERDANCE!
This year's theme is Band Together for the Cure!
In 1975, sophomore Brenda O'Donnell of Bishop O'Connell died from cystic fibrosis, a disease that builds up mucus in the digestive system and lungs, clogging the lungs and making it hard for one to breathe. Students came up with an event to honor her life and to raise awareness and money for the battle against this deadly disease: Superdance. Since 1975, the O'Connell community and outside sponsors have raised over $4.3 million and counting. Last year's 2018 Superdance raised $155,000. With the continuous support from the O'Connell community, the students continue to churn out dollars upon dollars to help find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.
This year, Superdance will be held on March 30. Superdance isn't just a regular high school dance. It is a 12 hour dance-a-thon that students plan for over two months, helping to make sure the dance is a success. Superdance has become such a big deal that local restaurants have jumped in to help find a cure. Sponsors such as Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, Duck Donuts, and more have helped contribute funds over the past years.
Kyle Leverone, a senior at O'Connell, talked about how Superdance has changed his life saying, "Being a part of Superdance means being a part of something bigger than myself. One of my hockey coaches here at O'Connell, Danny Bessette, has the disease, and with him being so involved with our school and in our hockey program, it makes Superdance so much more personal for me. Also, just being a part of something so big with so many other students makes the event more significant, as I can see the impact it has on the whole school."
Needless to say, Superdance has helped touch the lives of many people, especially in the O'Connell community, and the students of O'Connell are working tirelessly to ensure this one is the best and most beneficial one yet!

Congratulations to the members of the Model General Assembly (MGA) Club who represented Bishop O'Connell so well at the 2019 Model General Assembly held in Richmond March 21-23. The club came home not only with a great experience under their belts, but with the "Statesman Award," which recognized the club's activities throughout the school year.
Model General Assembly is a YMCA-sponsored program designed to introduce high school students to the legislative process of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Each year, approximately 500 students from across the state travel to Richmond to take over the Senate and House of Delegates chambers for the three-day serving as elected officials, lobbyists and media.
This year, eight O'Connell students took part in the program. Two were senators, two were delegates, two were lobbyists, one was a reporter and one served as the Youth Governor.
Yes, Governor! Senior Tommy Dannenfelser was elected the 2019 Governor at the conclusion of the 2018 MGA program. In his role as Governor, he opened the program with a bang, declaring a state of emergency in Virginia to deal with the opioid crisis and overcrowding of schools. He also worked with his hand-picked staff (made up of students from around the state) to review and research positions on bills before "signing" approximately 30 of them into law.
"He and his small staff produce over a 100 pages of research on all the bills," said O'Connell MGA moderator and social studies teacher, Mr. Greg Haas. "Tommy explained his thought process well during a press conference, and even explained why he vetoed certain bills during his closing speech."
At the same time, his fellow club members were busy presenting and lobbying for the two bills they prepared the this event. The first bill made Election Day a state holiday to help more people get to the voting booths. The second bill created a renewed emphasis on recycling throughout the state.
Senior Schuyler Workmaster presented the Election Day bill on the Senate floor, and although it passed through that chamber, it was ultimately defeated in the House committee. "This was my first year," she said. "I enjoyed the whole process even more than I ever expected...hearing other people's ideas and having the opportunity to debate on the floor of the Senate." "We had such a great group of team players," she added. "Everyone had a role and was involved in the process."
Students behind the scenes also played important roles in the weekend's events. O'Connell senior Paul Bean, who served as a reporter, was recognized by the state organization with the "Most Ambitious Reporter" award. Paul was persistent in interviewing bill sponsors and writing articles that caught the attention of the young lawmakers. "I wasn't sure what to expect in my first year at MGA," he said. "In the end, I loved the experience! My role as a reporter not only allowed me to hone my writing skills, but it gave me the opportunity to engage with a lot of different people who are still my friends today."
"I am so proud of my fellow club members...the whole team!" said Tommy Dannenfelser. He used the words "fantastic," "energizing," and "motivating" to describe this year's MGA. "Seeing all the students debating real-life issues like immigration, gun laws and much more was incredible."
"This was my first trip to Richmond with MGA," said religion teacher, Allison Lattie. "I was impressed with the level of dedication the Bishop O'Connell students and students from around the state put into their roles. I'm so proud of our students in the way that they presented and lobbied their self-written bills and amendments. Their enthusiasm in politics and sincere concern in the issues created an engaging weekend of committee hearings, congressional sessions, and a press conference with our very own student governor."
THIS WEEKEND ONLY!

On Thursday, March 21, 96 students and 23 chaperones departed by bus from Bishop O'Connell, heading to New York City to compete in the WorldStrides New York Heritage Festival music competition. In addition to performance opportunities for instrumental and vocal ensembles, this year's trip was open to students involved in drama and included a full schedule of programs and events.
On their first day in New York, students had lunch at Rockefeller Center before participating in one of two program options: a Broadway rehearsal workshop or a tour of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. After dinner in Times Square the entire group attended a performance of the New York Philharmonic conducted by Jaap van Zweden.
Festival performances by each of O'Connell's music ensembles took place the following day at the historic Riverside Church in Morningside Heights near Columbia University. Each ensemble--Combined Symphonic and Concert Band, Jazz Band, Strings Ensemble, Women's Camarata (chorus), O'Connell Singers (women's select chorus) and O'Connell Knights (men's chorus)--performed for 15 minutes on stage. A panel of three adjudicators provided written and recorded feedback for each performance, followed by mini-clinics with one of the adjudicators. While the music students prepared for the competition, drama students visited the Museum of Modern Art and then joined the orchestra students for a tour of The Juilliard School. After dinner, the group attended the Broadway production of "Anastasia" at the Broadhurst Theater.
On Saturday, students had several opportunities to choose from, including a drama tech workshop, a Broadway matinee, or some free-time sightseeing in the city. In the late afternoon the group attended the WorldStrides Heritage Festival awards ceremony followed by dinner and dancing aboard a Circle Line Cruise on the Hudson River with views of the city line and the Statue of Liberty.
The trip was capped off on Sunday, when the entire group attended Sunday Mass at St. Malachy's Church (The Actors' Chapel) in Times Square. The O'Connell Singers and O'Connell Knights were featured as the visiting choir performing part of the music liturgy.
Congratulations to the following ensembles on their competitive performances:

Bishop O'Connell High School celebrated an important moment in its history on the December 3 when the school's gym was renamed as the Koons Athletic Center.
With the morning sun shining through the upper windows and the gym bleachers filled with enthusiastic students, O'Connell's Head of School, Dr. Joseph E. Vorbach III, shared with the assembled crowd about a transformational donation to the school's capital campaign.
"Because of this gift, we are able to proceed with the work we have begun here at the school that includes the new plaza out front, the new main entrance and open corridor, and the new wing on the site of the old convent that will have modern and flexible classrooms, as well as the new Immaculate Heart Chapel," said Dr. Vorbach.
He then turned to introduce Jim and Cece Koons, both members of the O'Connell class of 1969. "We would not be moving forward with these bold steps without their help."
Jim Koons called this a "special treat" to be at O'Connell on this day. He introduced his wife, Cece, along with his sister-in-law Denise Zimmerman (class of 73) and his daughter Krystal, who had joined him for the ceremony. "O'Connell and the Koons family share a lot of history," he said. He met his wife, then Cece Zimmerman, at the school, and the two are getting ready to celebrate their 50-year class reunion in 2019. He has three siblings who also attended O'Connell, and his older brother Joe (class of 1964) has been inducted in the Hall of Fame. Cece's father, Dr. Zimmerman, served as the school's team doctor for 30 years and is also in the school's Hall of Fame.
Having the Koons name on the athletic center is a fitting tribute to his family's legacy. "Sports were a huge part of our life at O'Connell," Koons continued. "From this we got life lessons like discipline, positive attitude, hard work, teamwork, and respect for others."
Rev. Gregory Thompson, the school's chaplain, invited the assembly to pray together, to "...bless all who assemble to compete in good sportsmanship, to teach the virtues, and to give support to all who participate in the various activities held in this building."
The newly dedicated Koons Athletic Center then erupted in high spirits as the boys and girls varsity basketball teams, along with the school's cheerleading squad and dance team hosted a pep rally as a way of thanking the Koons family and kicking off this new era of O'Connell athletics.

Since early last year students in Bishop O'Connell High School's Engineering Club have been preparing to launch an experiment into space...and Wednesday, April 17, 2019 is their big day!
Over the past year, they've assembled and coded small sensor boards using components known as XinaBox. Once they were happy with their experiment pieces, they used low-altitude balloon tests to hone their ability to collect and analyze data from this device.
Since late last fall, their fully tested experiment has been loaded into a ThinSat model bus, which approximates the size of a slice of bread. They've named their ThinSat project "DJOSpaceToast," as this little satellite will be released into an Extreme Low-Earth Orbit (ELEO), and after providing the O'Connell mission team with important data for several days, it will re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up.
How will this DJO Space Toast get into orbit in the first place? It is one of several school projects that are being launched into space as part of the payload on the NG-11 rocket launch from NASA's Wallops Island facility on Virginia's Eastern Shore. The NG-11 is a resupply mission for the International Space Station, but will deploy ThinSats, including O'Connell's, during the second stage of the Antares rocket.
Seven of O'Connell's student mission leaders will be in attendance at the rocket launch. They've been invited for a morning VIP tour of the launch facility, and they will stay after the 4:46 p.m. planned launch time to work with personnel from Virginia Space to view the first data coming in from their components. Back at O'Connell, larger groups of students will be able to analyze both the science (climate data) and the engineering data (evaluating the efficiency and functioning of the hardware and payload on DJO Space Toast's maiden voyage).
"It is important to test the new XinaBox chips as well as the ThinSat hardware itself so that improvements can be made in the future so other people can use them," said student mission leader Will Rimicci.
"When our satellite launches, I will really see how much I've been able to grow, working with this team," said another team leader, Aidan O'Donovan. "I'm going to be so proud of our group and what we've accomplished."
Melissa Pore, faculty advisor and engineering teacher at Bishop O'Connell, is just as excited as the students. "We are so lucky to have this opportunity to build, test, and launch our very own satellite into orbit," she said. "This is the dream of many, reached by few, but certainly a reality here at O'Connell!"
Special thanks to VA Space and Northrop Grumman for their support of this project.

Festival of the Arts
Saturday, May 4, 2019
6-9 p.m.
Each year, Bishop O'Connell celebrates the arts with an evening of music, dancing, drama and visual arts on display. The gym is transformed into an art gallery; the main stage features individual and group dance, drama and musical performances. The courtyard becomes a magical "coffee house" showcasing acoustic performances and poetry readings.
Our students are looking forward to sharing their work with the community at the annual Festival of the Arts.
This year we will be celebrating and raising awareness about endangered animals. Please join us for this special celebration of the arts and enjoy passed snacks and sweets. Admission is $5 per person, or $15 per family.
It was an exciting night for players, coaches and fans alike at Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, as the Bishop O'Connell High School ice hockey team came away with the Northern Virginia Scholastic Hockey League (NVSHL) title for the first time since 2009.
The Knights finished the NVSHL league play with a 10-0 record before defeating Chantilly, 7-1, in the quarterfinals and shutting out Briar Woods, 4-0, in the semifinals. O'Connell faced perennial Northern Virginia powerhouse, Broad Run, in front of a spirited crowd in the championship game, as both teams were defending undefeated records in league play.
Bishop O'Connell scored first and never lost the lead. When the final horn sounded, the Knights were on top, 4-2. O'Connell goals were scored by Victor Musoke '20 (assist by Ben Gibbons '20), Jake Smith '19 (assists by Alex Vouras '20 and Victor Musoke), Ben Gibbons (assist by Alex Vouras) and Alex Vouras (unassisted). The Knights goalie, Jack MacKinnon '19, proved instrumental in net, stopping 28 of 30 shots that came his way.
"In the fall we defined our team goal and it was to win the state championship," said Head Coach Flip Collins. "As a coach the most rewarding part of coaching is helping these student-athletes set their goals and design a plan for them to achieve that goal. We did just that."
The Knights played one of the most demanding schedules in the Washington metropolitan area, competing not only in the NVSHL, but also in the Mid-Atlantic Prep Hockey League (MAPHL), as well as the WCAC league, where they defeated Gonzaga in the semifinal tournament round before coming up short in the championship game against DeMatha. The team finished their season with the most wins ever, and a 21-10-2 record.
Congratulations to the following all-league honorees:
Jack MacKinnon - first team goalie in the NVSHL
Victor Musoke - first team honors in the NVSHL, the MAPHL and the WCAC
Alex Vouras -second team honors in the MAPHL and the WCAC

April 17th will be a day to remember for a group of Bishop O'Connell engineering students who were able to witness first-hand the launch of their satellite project at NASA's Wallops Island Flight Facility on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. To top off the experience, NASA's Deputy Administrator and O'Connell alumnus, James Morhard '74, took the time to meet with the students at the NASA facility and engage them in a conversation about space opportunities and to share his own experiences from his time at Bishop O'Connell to where he is today.
Morhard is returning to Bishop O'Connell on May 20 to share more with O'Connell students—on topics ranging from opportunities for internships, mentors and careers at NASA to how his time at O'Connell and his faith has shaped his own life.

The Diocese of Arlington has announced today that they have appointed Bishop O'Connell's Head of School, Dr. Joseph Vorbach III, as Superintendent of Schools, effective July 1, 2019.
Below is the complete statement from the Diocese:
The Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge has appointed Dr. Joseph E. Vorbach, III as Superintendent of Schools for the Diocese of Arlington, effective July 1, 2019. Dr. Vorbach is currently Head of School at Bishop Denis J. O'Connell High School, in Arlington, VA. This appointment follows a search process conducted by a committee of highly-talented Catholic educators, led by the Reverend Lee Roos, Pastor of All Saints Church in Manassas. The committee reviewed applications from many qualified candidates from across the nation and recommended Dr. Vorbach as the most outstanding candidate.
Dr. Vorbach is a 1983 graduate of Bishop O'Connell High School. He received a Bachelor's degree in Government from the U.S Coast Guard Academy, a Master's degree and a Doctorate in International Relations from Tufts University and a Master's degree in Education from Marymount University in Arlington. After a 20-year career in the U.S Coast Guard, Dr. Vorbach served briefly at the National Defense University before becoming Principal at Bishop O'Connell in 2008 and President (Head of School) in 2013.
In addition to outstanding leadership in the effort to promote the integration of the school's Catholic identity in all areas of student life, Dr. Vorbach has achieved significant milestones in enrollment, philanthropic support, capital improvement, curricular development and inclusive education at Bishop O'Connell. Bishop Burbidge observed, "The ministry of teaching the faith is one of my greatest responsibilities as a diocesan bishop. Dr. Vorbach is a successful school administrator, a highly respected leader, and most importantly a devout Catholic gentleman who will assist me in this ministry by helping to lead our schools with great skill and an authentic witness to our faith."
Upon accepting this appointment, Dr. Vorbach stated: "This opportunity is an honor, and I am truly humbled to have been appointed to this critical role in the Diocese of Arlington, in which I will assist in Bishop Burbidge's teaching ministry and administration of our Catholic schools. I look forward to collaborating with colleagues in the Office of Catholic Schools to promote Catholic education and supporting the parents who entrust their children to our schools. Over the past 11 years, I have personally witnessed the great zeal for the mission of Catholic education expressed by countless people in this Diocese, and from that, I know the potential that lies ahead in what we, as the Body of Christ, can accomplish."
---
Bishop O'Connell High School, working in close conjunction with Bishop Burbidge and the Diocese, will begin the search process for a new Head of School immediately.
Bishop O'Connell High School held its 59th commencement exercises at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, May 30. The Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge, Bishop of the Diocese of Arlington, presented diplomas to the 306 members of the class of 2019.
William Becht, the class salutatorian, reflected on the past four years, focusing on the graduating class's growth as a supportive community. He addressed the class of 2019 saying, "We share a lasting bond that connects us as brothers and sisters in Christ. We are family...through success and through failure, we are never alone."
Alexandra Barrett, the class valedictorian, continued with the theme of community in her remarks. "The thing that has always astounded me the most about this class is the support we have for one another. The world we live in today sometimes makes it hard to remember that happiness does not depend on what jobs we have or the amount of money we make. Instead happiness comes from family gathered around you, the friends sitting beside you, the memories you have made together, but most importantly, it stems from God and our faith."
God Bless the Class of 2019!
