November 2014 Rebelation - Teurlings Catholic High School

THE OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER FOR PARENTS OF
TEURLINGS CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
From Our Principal...
T
he Administration and Advisory Council are charged with the task of setting tuition and fees for the upcoming
school year in November. Once prepared, the proposed budget requires the approval of our Chancellor and the
TCH Board of Pastors. With the unpredictability of the national economy, personal finances are on everyone’s
mind. Administrators across the country struggle with this question: How do we provide quality Catholic education
without depleting families’ limited financial resources?
Tuition increases annually because expenses increase annually. Teacher and staff salaries and benefits account for 77.2%
of the total budget. Diocesan officials have told schools to prepare for a 10% increase in health care costs. We also
anticipate cost increases in fuel, electricity, and paper products.
The administration and advisory council have accepted the charge to be stewards for the school. We will try to keep
tuition as moderate as possible to meet the resources of our families, but tuition will increase every year to meet the
financial needs of the school.
As we enter the season of Thanksgiving and Advent there are many opportunities for our TCH family to become
engaged in our community in hopes that some joy and happiness is brought into the lives of many who have felt only
sorrow and sadness. We will have a special Veteran’s Day Mass on Thursday, November 13, honoring all military in
attendance. On Thanksgiving Day, the sophomore class will sponsor the annual TCH Feeds the Hungry event. Our
cafeteria will open for students, faculty, and parent volunteers to cook and deliver a traditional turkey and dressing meal
with all the fixings to the hungry in our area. Last year 480 meals were delivered.
On November 6, TCH will welcome several hundred eighth graders from feeder and other schools for 8th Grade Day.
Students and parents will be invited to attend our Open House on the campus beginning at 4:00 p.m. The final tour
group begins at 6:00 p.m. Our Admissions Director Maria Hanes does
an outstanding job preparing for these events, but we could not do it
without the help of our students, faculty, and parent volunteers.
Leaders of Distinction
All of us at TCH must be able to articulate our mission and purpose
clearly and we must also be able to match our beliefs with our actions.
The dedication and skill of our learned community, coupled with the
enthusiasm and support of our parent groups is the basis of the TCH
spirit. It is a place of joy where people teach and learn in a kinship of
shared work, play, prayer, creativity, and achievement. As we look to
the future, that spirit will remain vital to Teurlings Catholic.
My name is Michael H. Boyer and I approve this message.

We Trust - We Trust - We Trust
If you ask your son/daughter if they feel “safe” on the Teurlings
campus during the school day, I think that you would find that, to a
person, students feel “safe” - safe from physical harm. Also, if/when
teasing crosses the line there are faculty members to whom students
can go to have the situation addressed quickly.
What about when money and personal items are stolen from
booksacks, gym lockers, or school lockers? That scenario
unfortunately, does occur on the TCH campus. Recently, a number of
students (boys) had considerable amounts of cash ($80, $60, $40)
along with watches stolen from their wallets and pants pockets in the
PE locker rooms. The downside is that theft of this kind is almost
impossible to solve. The PE instructors are locking PE doors and
reminding boys that there are a number of empty lockers which
students can put valuables in and lock the locker with their own lock.
Trust we do, often, at TCH. But, we obviously have those who
steal from others which causes “trust” to be diminished. Please speak
with your son/daughter about theft issues and remind them to place
their valuables in a safe place during the school day. Also, if they have
any information on the stolen items to please see Mr. Baudier.
Dr. Nathan Roberts - ULL College of
Education and Lawrence “Moose”
Billeaud - Criminal Defense Attorney,
presented to the TCH student body a talk on
the ramifications of drugs, sexting,
cyberbullying, and vandalism.
Students learned the consequences of
these actions and how they can impact their
future and careers.
Texting, Sexting, Cyber-Bullying, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat,
Facebook, Twitter…and there’s more?
“What, I deleted it already-they won’t even see it”
Yes, parents, many of your sons/daughters are knee deep into all of these social media experiences. And,
while you say “My child doesn’t have one of those accounts so we are O.K.”..…every kid has access to these sites/
areas through their friends’ involvement.
Contrary to the kids’ belief; “Delete” only means you can’t see it now! Officer Marty often explains to the
students that IP addresses can be traced back to the specific computer/address. Also, phone “deleted” CAN be
retrieved if the need dictates.
Sending inappropriate pictures: How a student sets his/her self up for possible pornography/distribution of
pornography charges. Making threats to a person on Instagram, Twitter, etc.: What constitutes a crime?
All this and much more is being covered and discussed with your sons/daughters. Please ask them what
they learned that they didn’t know prior to the presentation.
We sincerely hope that the students listen and process the information so in the future they will be able to
make informed, sound decisions when using the plethora of social media sites available to them.

ACADEMICS
Marty Heintz - Assistant Principal
If you are the parent of the typical teen, I know you
have heard this at one time or another: “but Mom,
EVERYONE failed the test” or “No one is passing the
class” or even “Dad, no one turned in the homework
because no one knew the assignment.”
I am sure that most of you take such statements with a
grain of salt, knowing that most teens tend to
“exaggerate” the situation when faced with a bad
grade. I can assure you that we have NO class on our
campus with a failure rate of 100%, or 50% or even
25%. No class on our campus has a “D” rate of 25%
or more, either. It just does not happen. Honestly, it is
rare for even a single test to come in with grades in
that range. On that very rare occasion, teachers meet
with me or their department head and we come up
with a plan to re-teach the material and reassess
student mastery. That does not mean that another test
is always given. It depends on the situation. If half a
class receives an A or B on a test and the other half
does poorly, we look at circumstances that might have
prompted the lower grades. Was there an activity the
night before so that some students did not study? You
would be surprised how often that happens – and how
it is impossible, with our rolling schedule – to
guarantee that there will be no test at all on the day
after a big basketball or baseball game or some
equally important event. Our students are extremely
honest and often admit they did not study or read the
assigned material.
As you can see, the percentage of our
students earning an F or even a D is
very low. Please also keep in mind
that this is a grade level breakdown,
not a subject breakdown. Ninth
graders take either Algebra I or
Geometry; 10th graders are enrolled in
Geometry or Algebra II; 11th graders
are in either Algebra II or Advanced
Math I; and 12th graders may be in
Advanced Math I, Advanced Math II,
Calculus, or Financial Math. The
grades at either end of the spectrum
(high or low) come from all subjects.
There are students in honors and dual enrollment classes with low grades, just as there
are many students in regular classes with A and B grades. Our guidance department is
meeting with students who had failing grades for the 1st Quarter in all subjects.
Guidance Counselors Anna Proctor, Dawn Aucoin and I, met with teachers at all grade
levels the week of October 20 so we can find those students who need additional help or
encouragement. In all our subjects, not just in math, the teachers are also reaching out to
students and their parents through emails and conferences, hoping to bring out the best
in each and every one of our students.
Here are the 1st Quarter breakdowns for
English and Science:
ENGLISH
So, are you curious how your student fared in
comparison to other students in his or her grade on the
1st Quarter report card? The chart below shows a
breakdown of math grades, by grade level, for all our
students. Why did I choose math? Because by far the
biggest number of complaints, concerns, and
questions I address from parents deal with math. For
many of our students, math is the hardest subject out
of the seven classes, especially for those with a
limited background in math fundamentals, poor study
habits, or who just plain don’t like math for one
reason or another.
SCIENCE
XL Card and Academic Pep Rally/Fall Awards
Qualifications
There seems to be some confusion about who qualifies
for our various awards programs.
Here is a quick breakdown:
*Fall Awards – based on the final GPA from the
previous year; must be a 3.0 or higher
*XL Cards and quarterly incentives – based on the GPA from the quarter, must be a 3.0 or higher
*Academic Pep Rally – based on the first semester grades, must be a 3.0 or higher with no grade of C or below on the semester averages
(students may have a C for a quarter grade, as long as the semester grade is an A or B)

The TCH Art Department is rocking and rolling for the 2014-15 school year. Students in art
class, as well as the Art Club, have decorated the
campus with flyers promoting this year’s Campus
Ministry theme, Keepin' it Real, and Key Club’s
Fall Fest for Halloween
trick-or-treating.
Amazing artwork is on
display year-round in the
school library. The Art
Department has teamed up with Student
Council to help prepare and set up the backdrop for the Homecoming dance. They are
also participating in the "Rain Barrel" decoration contest for the Lafayette Utilities
System (LUS) with a theme of water conservation; TCH
students’ rain
barrel creations will be on display at
various locations in the Downtown
Lafayette area. Future projects will be
creating the backdrops and props for
the school musical and Academic Pep
Rally. We are keeping art alive!!

Pro-Life Rosary
A BEAUTIFUL Pro-Life “Living” Rosary was held in the RebelDome on
Thursday, October 2nd. As each prayer of the rosary was recited, a 2nd grade
student from St. Genevieve Elementary School presented a rose
at the foot of the Our Lady’s Statue. In a special way we were
able to show our respect for life and honor those who are unable to speak up for themselves! Thanks to Ms. Caroline Savoie,
Mrs. Kristina Lavergne, the Senior class, and SGS 2nd graders for
their efforts!
PLEASE JOIN US IN
WORSHIP:
 Weekly masses and
prayer services every
Thursday at 8:36 AM
in the RebelDome.
 Attention Parents:
Join us for a rosary
each Friday morning in the chapel at
7:15 am to pray for
our TCH family and
teens!
Available for Confession!
Confessions will be heard in the
chapel every other Wednesday from
10:15-11:15am. See school calendar
for scheduled dates.
Our first “Spirit Renewal
Night” was held in the
Chapel on Wednesday,
October 1st. All student
ministers came together in
fellowship, prayer, and
reflection. We will continue
to meet every other month
to nurture those who
minister on campus!
Our next “Spirit Renewal
Night” will be on
Wednesday, December 3rd!
REBELS FOR LIFE
Rebels for Life club members were commissioned at
their opening Liturgy on the evening of October 6th. Our
Chancellor, Fr. Hampton Davis was the celebrant. Club
members committed themselves to their mission of
defending human life at all ages and in all
circumstances, and to pray for the grace to fulfill this
mission. Many of the club's 87 members were in
attendance as well as their parents and siblings.
Throughout the year Rebels for Life will be working on
different projects and events including diaper drives for
the local Crisis Pregnancy Center, the Baby Bottle
Campaign for the Desormeaux Foundation, trips to various nursing homes, and inviting pro-life and chastity
speakers to campus.
(See pictures on Page 8)
The Junior Retreat was held at
the St. Elizabeth Seton Church Hall
on October 8th! The retreat
provided an opportunity for the
juniors to spend time as a class,
get to know one another better, and deepen their desire to
know Christ through Adoration, reflection and prayer.
Special thanks to the Campus Ministry Class, Mr. Colby
Allen, Ms. Caroline Savoie, and Mr. John Paoletti for
helping to make this retreat special!
