TRANSCRIPT
For the past seven weeks, we have been speaking to members of our owner parish churches. We were also invited to share news about Teurlings Catholicat a church which is not an owner parish just to help get the word out about our high school. September marks the 50th anniversary of the school’sexistence. For half of a century, generations of students have received their Catholic school formation at Teurlings Catholic High School.
Celebrating our golden anniversary is an exciting event….but it also means that our buildings are 50 years old. Through the years, the facility has beenlovingly patched and mended, but there is only so much that can be done with even the best of maintenance work. Some of the classrooms have to berenovated, some of the portable classrooms need to be replaced, and we need to add a few new classrooms.
We announced to all of our owner parishes that we have developed a master plan and capital campaign to address these needs, and our goal is to dedicatethem on the occasion of our 50th anniversary. We will soon be sending this information home to all of our Teurlings Catholic families.
Our campaign is befittingly called, “The Values of the Past….The Spirit of the Future.” We continue to prepare our students for the future whileinstilling the morals and values that have been part of the Catholic Church from its very beginning. It is time for us to take a look at the school’s futureto insure that Teurlings Catholic will continue to meet the Catholic educational needs of our Catholic community.
The Academic Pep Rally held on March 16 was a tremendous display of school achievement and talent. The theme “Ease on Down the Road with GoodGrades” prompted many of us to remember the cast of characters that crossed the stage. The Rebel Dome looked like Munchkin Land and was filledto capacity, the program was exciting, the music added atmosphere, the entire faculty participated, and the students loved it. Our faculty members andparent volunteers are to be commended for orchestrating such a fabulous event. What a great way to spotlight the academic success of our students! Twohundred thirty-six students were recognized as XL award winners; that’s 38% of the total student body.
On every Holy Thursday, we hold our annual sunrise Passion Play at 6:30 a.m. The best way to begin the most important four days in the CatholicChurch is to share it with family. As in the past, our seniors elevate themselves as the spiritual leaders on our campus.
How many of you like to gamble? A ball game wager, a casino trip, and lottery tickets might be right up your alley. April brings us prom activities asthey relate to Teurlings Catholic. When you do not set a curfew, allow your children torent hotel rooms, sponsor after parties where anyone who can open the ice chest or lookover the bar counter can drink, and let them act as though they are consenting adults,you are gambling with your child’s life. You are gambling with your neighbor’s or yourbest friend’s child’s life at the same time. When you let your children go to an afterparty, even though you or other parents are present, you are gambling with not onlyyour child’s life, but with the lives of other children when you condone the drinking ofalcohol at these events.
Teurlings Catholic does not sponsor, condone, or advertise any after party or drinkingcorresponding to any school activity. Parents who allow drinking by underage childrenare breaking the law. Our children are all underage and the state of Louisiana and theFederal government say they cannot legally consume alcoholic beverages. The schoolwill notify the appropriate agencies of any planned activity where drinking may take
place that is associated with any school activity.Gambling is to take a chance. Most of the timewhen you are asked to take a chance, that chanceends up taking you. Love your children, don’tgamble with them.

Students, call your grandparents and personally invite them
SENIORITISFive weeks and counting…If you
are the parent of a senior, you know exactlywhat I am talking about. Seniors move intofinal exams the week of May 10, accordingto the following schedule:
Tues., May 10: 2nd & 3rd hr. examsWed., May 11: 7th & 1st hr. examsThurs., May 12: 5th & 6th hr. examsFri., May 13: 4th hr. exam
I have seen few things more pitiful, in my17 years of dealing with seniors, than asenior who literally “blew” the opportunityfor scholarships and, in a few cases, evencollege admission with a bad case ofsenioritis during the last two months ofschool. The end is near but not here yet.Seniors, as well as the rest of the studentbody, need to remember that school workcontinues until final exams are completed.
Parents, make sure your son ordaughter does not blow off the last fewweeks of school. Many of our seniors areborderline for TOPS awards, either waitingfor that ACT score or hovering right belowor above the 2.5 GPA requirement. Othersare borderline for the larger TOPS awardsfor the same reasons. Please make sureyour senior knows the year does not enduntil May 13.
BUSY TIME OF YEARFor most of our students, April is
one of the busiest months of the year. Wehave activities galore scheduled. There’sbaseball, softball, track, tennis, golf, andbowling; the Speech Tournament ofChampions; Rebel Revue and Cheerleadertryouts; the annual TCH Art Show; prom;Grandparents’ Day; Student Councilelections; the spring blood drive; Earth Day;Mass with the bishop on April 14; the seniormass and crawfish boil; and the final ACTof the school year on April 9. In other words,there are a lot of things that will be onstudents’ minds other than academics. Ourteachers are going to attempt to focus thestudents, but we need the help of parents.Please make sure your student does notget so involved in the other activities going

issued on March 23 and failure letters willbe mailed out the next day. If the thirdquarter report card was not what youexpected or if you receive a failure notice,please discuss the grades with your childand then contact the teacher. In mostcases, there is still time to correct aproblem but not without hard work on thepart of the student and backing by theparent.
Finally, if you have any questionsabout academics, please do not hesitateto contact me (ext. 103) or call ourguidance counselors, Anna Proctor (ext.108) and Milton Rohm (ext. 114). We areall here to help you.
