Alumnae Share Their Career Successes
n Wednesday - February 24, 2016, St. Lucy’s
welcomed nearly 30 professionals from the
Greater San Gabriel Valley to participate in Career Day.
Alumnae impressed students with their careers ranging
from law, dentistry, physical therapy, television production,
firefighter/paramedic and politics to name a few. “Career
Day was a tremendous success and our students gained a
lot of insight learning about a variety of careers,” said Val
Leiva, College Counselor. “Holding this event every other
year helps St. Lucy’s students as they prepare to make
choices regarding college and their future.”
St. Lucy’s was proud to welcome alumnae and other
community members to campus to support this educational
day for the students and share the beauty of the campus.
“It was wonderful to connect with the volunteers at Career
Day. Many of the alumnae expressed to me that this was
their first time back at St. Lucy’s since graduation,” said
Summer Williams, Director of Advancement and External
Relations. “They were happy to be here and it is my hope
that they return soon for another event."

a message from the principal
Welcome to the first edition of The Regent—A Publication
for the Community of St. Lucy’s Priory High School. This
new publication will be taking the place of The Alumnae
Newsletter, with a broader focus on our entire School
community, which includes our students, alumnae, faculty,
staff and School families.
In its basic definition, a Regent is a leader. At St. Lucy’s,
we cultivate our students to demonstrate self-awareness,
confidence and leadership skills in everything they
do. We also empower them to be spiritual, educated,
integrated and collaborative young women. It is with these
qualities in mind that the name “The Regent” came about,
encompassing what it truly means to be a part of the
St. Lucy’s family.
In this issue, we’ve highlighted St. Lucy’s alumna,
Christina Ramirez Cupa ’80, who is giving back to others
in need and current student Sabrina Garabet ’18, who
has a dream to be an Olympic water polo player. These
stories demonstrate how our school offers students a
strong foundation and support system that will be with them
throughout their lives.
Lastly, as we approach the end of the school year, I’m
reminded of my own experiences as a St. Lucy’s student.
When I speak with students and alumnae, I often hear
about how St. Lucy’s never really leaves you after you
graduate. That sentiment is definitely true for myself, and
I feel incredibly blessed to have come full circle with
working at my Alma Mater.
Kindest Regards,
Gina Giuliucci ’76

n Saturday, March 19, 2016, the St. Lucy’s
Gymnasium was transformed into the Italian
countryside of Tuscany, where more than 300 guests
enjoyed more than 200 silent auction items, an exciting live
auction, live entertainment and a catered dinner. All funds
raised directly support the ongoing needs of the school.
“This event is always such a wonderful way to bring
together our school community,” said Summer Williams,
Director of Advancement and External Relations.
“This year’s event was very successful, helping us to
continue providing a high-quality, Catholic education
for all of our students.”
Some of the top auction items of the night included tickets
to Kobe Bryant’s last game with the Los Angeles Lakers,
a trip to Florida and tickets to Adele’s concert at the
Staples Center.

Thank you to all St. Lucy’s constituents who have participated in the Technology
Enhancement Campaign (TEC)! St. Lucy’s is excited to announce that we have raised
$53,000 in the current campaign. Improved WiFi has been installed throughout the
School and the installation of solar panel technology is being completed before the end
of the academic year. This year’s campaign is allowing St. Lucy’s to reduce its carbon
footprint by utilizing solar power, as well as saving money with less need for electricity.
The funds saved will help to enhance other programs and projects for students on campus.
All gifts made by June 30, 2016 will be included in the TEC. If you are interested
in giving opportunities, please contact Summer Williams, Director of Advancement

Sabrina Garabet ’17
t age 7, Sabrina Garabet ’17, just knew that she
wanted to be a champion water polo player. As a
member of the St. Lucy’s water polo team and a
member of the USA Women’s Cadet National Water Polo
Team, the desire to strive to be the best she can be came
early for Sabrina. “When I was little, I would watch my older
brother, George, and his friends play water polo in the pool
and begged my mom to let me play with them,” she says.
“Once she gave me permission to dive in, I was hooked.”
As a transfer student, this school year is Sabrina’s first
year playing for St. Lucy’s.
As part of her dream to be an Olympic Water Polo Player,
Sabrina traveled to Jamaica last August with the National
Team for the Youth Pan American Championship. Team
USA was undefeated at the games, where Sabrina scored
a game high of seven goals in the win over Canada 25
– 6. To be a part of the National Team was an amazing
experience for Sabrina. “It truly was an honor to meet
and work with 12 other girls from around the country who
have the same dreams and aspirations as I do,” she says.
Sabrina also loves being a part of the St. Lucy’s school
community. She was introduced to the school at a young
age when she attended the St. Lucy’s Child Development
Center. During this time, Sabrina would watch St. Lucy’s
water polo games with her mom and became a huge fan
of champion water polo player Emily Donohoe ‘11. “She
was such an inspiration to me. I just loved watching her
“I’m so happy that I decided
to come to this school and be
part of the St. Lucy’s family.”

play and knew that one day I wanted to be that skilled
at water polo,” says Sabrina. Now as a sophomore at
St. Lucy’s, she is realizing her dream to one day be an
Olympian. She recently received the Baseline Water Polo
League’s MVP Award, which honors the most valuable
player from the six different area leagues.
Sabrina has made strong friendships at St. Lucy’s and
appreciates how her teachers and teammates have shown
her their support. “When you’re having a challenging day,
there’s always someone around here to cheer you up,”
she says. “I’m so happy that I decided to come to this
school and be part of the St. Lucy’s family!”

aura Kaup ’87 participates regularly in Team Joy — a cycle team
in memory of her mother, who lost her battle with ovarian cancer
in 2007. Laura currently lives in Seattle, Washington, but is still very
close with many other St. Lucy’s alumnae. She visits the Los Angeles
area often and rides to raise money and awareness about ovarian
cancer.
Recently, the group started riding in California on the Tour de Foothills,
which took them up Sierra Madre Avenue past St. Lucy’s. Becky and
Laura rode 65 miles that day, while Hannah cheered them on.
On July 16 and 17, 2016 Team Joy will be riding 205 miles from Seattle
to Portland, with five St. Lucy’s alumnae. The team members from

he class of 1975 celebrated their 40th reunion on Saturday -
November 7, 2015. It began with brunch at Walters Restaurant
in Claremont and was attended by 20 classmates and their dear
teacher, Mr. Bill Shaw and his wife, Lynn. The restaurant patio was
soon filled with reconnecting friends, hugs and laughter. Old school
clippings, newsletters and photos were shared, and, thanks to
Mr. Shaw, actual completed homework assignments were passed out.
Walter’s provided a delicious brunch and the gathering ended with
a rousing rendition of “When a St. Lucy’s Girl Walks Down the Street”
and the St. Lucy’s Alma Mater. As Nancy Baker, reunion coordinator,
commented, “What is a reunion anyway? A chance to reconnect
with people you care about. And the time goes by so quickly. It is
time to look ahead and appreciate what came before that brought
us all back together.”
Following the brunch, Pomona Catholic and Damien High Schools
joined St. Lucy’s for a dinner and dance at the Pomona Sheraton
Fairplex Hotel for the Tri-School 40th Reunion Celebration. A cocktail
reception kicked off the evening with a beautiful backdrop of autumn
colors and decorations provided by Katherine Schwertner ’75 and
Dawn Gaglio, from Pomona Catholic. Gary Schwary from Damien,
led the group in prayer before dinner. A representative from each
school, Marlene Pelletier ’75, Bob DeBolt (Damien) and Dawn Gaglio
(Pomona Catholic) read the names of classmates who have passed
on, highlighting that our time is precious together. As the lights
grew dim, the dancing began amid laughter and conversation.
“The photo booth was a hoot,” said Beth Bangert ’75. We’ll see
you all in five years!

Christina
Ramirez Cupa ’80:
Helping Those In Need
hen Christina Ramirez Cupa ’80 sees how
appreciative someone is after she’s helped
them, that’s all she needs to get through
her day. As a case manager for the social service agency,
Western Arizona Council of Governments (WACOG),
Christina helps determine which of the agency’s clients
are eligible for Meals on Wheels, a home-delivered meals
service for people in need. She visits client’s homes and,
based on individual needs, coordinates the meal service.
“This program is helping to provide people with nutritious
home-cooked meals that they would not otherwise be
able to prepare for themselves,” says Christina.
Christina’s career started out very differently from where
she is today. In 2012, she retired from the California
Department of Corrections, where she held various
peace officer positions for 27 years. In her last position
as a Parole Agent, Christina had ultimate supervision
of nearly 1,000 parolees and supervised 22 Parole Agents.
“While there were many aspects of that job that I liked,
it was also physically and emotionally draining for me.
After I left Corrections, I really wanted to focus on
something totally different,” she says.
In 2013, Christina started working part-time with WACOG
and really enjoyed the work. When a full-time position
opened up in 2015, she decided to take it knowing that she
could do even more for her clients. Even though Christina
is technically retired, she feels that this job is her calling in
life. “I feel that I was called to do the Lord’s work and make
a difference in people’s lives,” she says.
One of those people that Christina’s help made all the
difference for, was a legally blind client who was dependent
on public service agencies for transportation and other
basic services. At one point, the client needed additional
in-home care and asked Christina for her assistance in
applying for more services. The client was initially rejected
due to being too independent, but Christina encouraged
him to get a second assessment, which led to an approval.
The client was very grateful for her help and told her that it
would not have happened without her going the extra mile.

The Cupa Family (clockwise from top): George, George II, Brian,
Dominique and Christina.
Even in her former position with the Department of
Corrections, Christina was able to help others make
positive changes in their lives. “One of my former parolees,
who has since married and is living in Australia, attributes
his success to me having faith in him and giving him the
resources he needed to become a law abiding citizen,”
she says.
The casework Christina does now with WACOG can be
difficult at times, but she believes that what she does is
too important to give up, even when it requires some
significant sacrifices for her and her family. During the
work week, Christina lives in the family’s vacation home
in Bullhead, Arizona. On weekends, she either travels
back home to be with her husband, George, in Ontario or
he travels to Bullhead. “It’s a lot of traveling, but we make
it work for us,” she says. Christina has three adult children,
a daughter, Dominque, who attends the University of
Hawaii and sons, George II and Brian.
“I feel that I was called to do the Lord’s work and
make a difference in people’s lives.”
