Helen Sweeny Beardsworth

I am the new Parent Council Chair. 

Volunteering at South:  I have been coordinating the scrip program for South this year.  I volunteered in the Career Center for a few years and worked on the Senior Party. I started South’s Mock Trial Team and coached it for the first two years.  This year Stan Paulic and Dennis Gurl coached and rumor has it the team won their region yesterday and will be going to State in a few weeks. Congratulate any student you know on the team including Olivia Seulement-Provol and Rio O’Mary.

Family: My son, Michael, graduated from South last June and is attending the Clark Honors College at UO.  My daughter, Kathleen, is a dancing maniac Junior in South’s Classic program. My husband, David, is an anesthesiologist with Northwest Anesthesia Physicians.

Miscellaneous: I was one of 7 children, attended college at University of California, Irvine (anteaters) and graduated from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.  I’m currently a volunteer mediator for Small Claims Court in Lane County and a volunteer in UO Conflict Resolution Services.

When I’m not working and volunteering: I like to go to the movies and am looking forward to watching the Oscars next Sunday.
