A Message from the President
Dear Notre Dame Community,
As contemporary people we live in a world filled with images. Some are literal. Some are symbolic. This
issue of the NDA Magazine creatively weaves together images of students, alumni and families to help tell
the story of Notre Dame Academy in a way that captures our experience of being a community in 2021.
NDA is the result of many streams flowing into the current school community of Our Lady of the Bay. The
image of lace pictured below comes from the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet who founded and operated
St. Joseph Academy, a predecessor school of NDA. It refers to one of the original works of the sisters in 17th
century France as they made and taught other women how to make lace which was a precious commodity
at the time. As a symbol the lace serves to help describe our community at NDA as we journey together
to God, to the future lives of our students and to our collective future as a school serving the people of
Greater Green Bay. In the book “That All May Be One,” Sr. Carol Allan and Martha Malinski describe that:
“Lace threads symbolize the relational call of the Sisters of St. Joseph, the call to
unifying love that unites neighbor with neighbor, and neighbor with God, without
distinction. The spaces in the lace threads signify brokenness and oppression. These
spaces also show an openness to the Spirit who lives among all creation.”
This past year has been a time of trial for us as a community as we wrestle with
different approaches to shared problems. The distances imposed by the pandemic
have caused us to examine the threads that bind us to each other. We have also had
to explore the spaces between us as we hope for the Spirit to fill us with singular
moments of God’s grace to learn, to serve and to love.
This issue of the NDA Magazine chronicles parts of our journey. We hope that the
images of students’ energy, of faculty and staff care, of alumni achievements, and
friends’ support will encourage and engage your way on our shared journey.
Best regards,
Thomas J. Kiely, DHL President

Admissions Address
As we celebrate over 125 years of Catholic High
School education in Green Bay, Notre Dame
Academy adopted a new tagline “Prepares Lead-
ers for College & Life.”
Our tradition of Catholic education and prepar-
ing leaders for college and life embraces the
foundation laid by St. Joseph Academy, Abbot
Pennings, Our Lady of Premontre, Central Cath-
olic and St. Norbert High Schools.
Today, NDA is a high-caliber educational com-
munity that is focused on outstanding learning
and creating a lifetime of opportunity for all
students. NDA’s curriculum is built upon the
foundational belief that faith and reason work
together in all learning. We believe in challeng-
ing every student’s critical thinking and problem-solving ability. We offer a globally focused education with
a leading International Baccalaureate program. Our curriculum is college preparatory and all students are
held to high expectations. The Class of 2021 had 569 college acceptances.
We encourage students to develop their gifts and talents and contribute meaningfully to their community
and the world. Our students are a talented and unique group of individuals from varied geographic, ethnic,
economic and religious backgrounds that reflect the population of the Green Bay area.
As a school founded within the ministry of the Catholic Church, we are committed to offering tuition as-
sistance, helping to ensure every family receives the best value possible for a Catholic, college preparatory
education. NDA is available and accessible to all students due to its tuition assistance programs. Last year,
over half of our students received tuition assistance totaling $2.6 million. The investment made at NDA
pays off in reduced college costs, a variety of scholarships and increased college acceptance rates. The Class
of 2021 was offered $10.8 million in scholarship offers.
The NDA experience is one of academic rigor, a welcoming Catholic community and a culture of high
expectations. It is our hope that this simple phrase “Prepares Leaders for College & Life” is the essence of
what we accomplish collectively as the NDA community.

Wenzel remains a mentor
to many long after retiring
from professional career
Downhill skiing in the winter and sailing in the summer aren’t
exactly hobbies one would associate with the average 91-year-old.
Then again, Frederick “Fritz” Wenzel is anything but average.
A 1948 graduate of St. Norbert High School, Wenzel started as a
biochemist in a research lab, graduated to become the executive
director of the Marshfield Clinic Research Institute, and eventually
the CEO of the entire clinic.
He then capped off his 68-year professional career as a professor
at several universities, including UW-Stevens Point, CU Denver,
Minnesota, Texas Tech and St. Thomas.
To say he’s been around the block a few times would be an under-
statement. He may be retired, but for this 91-year-old, sitting back
is simply not an option.
What’s his secret to staying young? “Hang around with young
people. ... You’ve got to stay on your feet,” Wenzel said. He spends
much of his time mentoring college students, teaching young peo-
ple sailing and even hitting the slopes of downhill skiing.
Frederick Wenzel isn’t letting his age slow him down.
“What I’ve done all my life is mentor young people. ... I just love

Mark Moran has lived by a convincing mot-

year career in journalism, book writing and
antique appraisals, the 1971 Premontre High
School graduate has done exactly that.
As the first of eight children in his family
to attend Premontre, Moran enjoyed his En-

es were the ones that allowed me to learn how to express myself
and collect information on the books that I wrote,” he said.
Out of high school, Moran studied at the University of Wiscon-
sin-Madison for a year before starting a job at the Green Bay
Press-Gazette. “The great thing about newspaper writing is that
you have to learn how to write clearly, quickly and simply,”
he said. “(My five years at the Press-Gazette) was really my

Blaney makes big impact in
‘The Big Apple’
Kathleen Blaney, a 2005 Notre Dame Academy alumna, is the
director of Disease Control and Emergency Preparedness at the
NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. She has worked
tirelessly since the beginning of 2020 to help New York City fight
against the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The most rewarding thing is going to bed each night and wak-
ing up each morning and feeling like I’m contributing to getting
the city back on its feet, to making New York the place it used
to be,” said Blaney, who studied nursing and political science at
Marquette University, finding an interest in public health at the
intersection of those two fields.
“I was most interested in what it meant to provide that level of
assessment and care for an entire community,” she said. “And
New York is a community of 8.6 million people!”
Her NDA education — along with the Canton, Miss., trip and
other service opportunities in high school and college — helped
Blaney find value in community and holistic care.
“Nursing is care for the whole person and public health is care for

The Notre Dame Academy community mourns the passing of Father James A. Conard,
M.M., on April 30, 2021.
Rev. Conard was a 1947 Central Catholic High School graduate. He received NDA’s
Distinguished Alumnus of the Year Award in 2012 for being an outstanding example
of Christ’s love being lived out in the world and being the personification of the
Maryknoll Missionary.
Upon his ordination in 1956, he was assigned to present day Tanzania in Africa. His
work in Africa included starting Kowak clinic and hospital, helping those with AIDS,
and the beginning of Kowak Girls Secondary School. Following several decades in Af-
rica, Rev. Conard wrote a memoir title, “A Life in Africa.” He reflected that “Tanzania
wasn’t a place that I visited. It was my home. … I’m grateful for the memories. …
I’m grateful to God.”

TWO of NDA’s National Merit
Scholarship Semifinalists
New video equipment providing new experiences for students
Harrison James and Alex Prikockis both prefer not to be the center of attention. The Notre Dame Academy seniors would
much rather contribute behind the scenes for projects than playing a leading part in front of an audience.
However, James and Prikockis knew that wouldn’t be the case on the morning of Sept. 15 as they looked at the script
in preparing to produce the video stream each classroom watches at the start of the day.
“I got an email the day before saying I would need to be there for the morning an-
nouncements, which worked out well because I was already on the camera crew so
I was going to be there anyway,” Prikockis said. James added, “In the morning an-
nouncements planning sheet it had a thing that said, ‘National Merit announcement.’
… I thought, I know what this is for.”
It didn’t take much detective work for the friends to figure out they were both mo-
mentarily going to have to step out of their comfort zone as NDA principal Patrick
Browne brought them on-screen to congratulate them on being National Merit Schol-
arship Semifinalists this year.

in earning the honor.
“The NMS Semifinalist distinction is an honor that comes with
steadfast academic discipline,” NDA college counselor Becky
Bain said. “Having five qualifiers this year is exciting – it is
NDA's highest in three years. I am very proud of our students.”
The recognition is a product of the students’ hard work and
focus as the NDA faculty continue to keep students on track to
achieving their goals through the pandemic. Just as important
as helping students obtain high academic marks is giving them
as many real-life experiences as possible. The video equipment
NDA purchased this year is giving students like James and
Prikockis new ways to shine as they learn.
