April 2015 Rebelation - Teurlings Catholic High School

THE OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER FOR PARENTS OF
TEURLINGS CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
From Our Principal...
T
he Academic Pep Rally was held on March 18th in the TCH “concert hall” with the theme, “All About
Them Grades.” We had a record crowd witness the awesome student talent, the humorous faculty and
staff skits, and the honored students. Our faculty members and parent volunteers are to be commended
for orchestrating such a fabulous event. Two hundred ninety-four students, an all-time high, were recognized
as XL award winners; that’s 40% of the total student body.
On Holy Thursday, April 2 nd, we held our annual sunrise Passion Play at 6:30 A.M. This was a great way to
begin the most important four days of the Catholic Church and to share it with family. This is a senior class
project and once again the class elevated themselves as the spiritual leaders on our campus.
We invite the grandparents of our freshmen and sophomores to celebrate Mass on April 16 th and juniors and
seniors on April 23rd, at 1:20 P.M. in the Rebel Dome. Our annual Senior Mass is scheduled for Friday, May
1st, at 8:36 A.M. All senior scholarship offers, turned in to date, will be announced to the student body.
April also brings prom activities as they relate to Teurlings Catholic. The following is our annual plea to
parents: If you set no curfew or if you allow your children to rent hotel rooms, sponsor after-parties where
anyone who can open the ice chest or look over the bar counter can drink, and let them act as though they are
consenting adults, you are risking your child’s life. You are also risking the life of your neighbor’s or your
best friend’s child at the same time. When you let your children go to an after-party where drinking is
condoned, even though you or other parents are present, you are risking your child’s life, and the lives of other
children.
Teurlings Catholic does not sponsor, condone, or advertise any
after-party or drinking corresponding to any school activity.
Parents who permit drinking by underage children are breaking
the law, according to the state of Louisiana and the Federal
government. The school will notify the appropriate law
enforcement agency if we have knowledge of any pre- or
post-prom parties where alcohol may be present. Students will
be breathalyzed by uniformed security before entry to the prom.
Our students are responsible for the behavior and attire of their
guests. Through proper and thoughtful communication between
all parties, prom can be an awesome event.

April is Child Abuse
Prevention Month
The deadline for submitting articles
for the MAY issue of the Rebelation
is April 20th. Email Tiffany Dugas
Parks ([email protected]) with your
articles and pictures.
In a diocesan effort to support this
cause, on behalf of Bishop Jarrell,
the Office of Safe Environment has provided a blue ribbon and sign to your school to
be placed in a prominent location.
Through this blue ribbon message, we hope to convey that every child deserves the
chance to be raised in a healthy, safe and nurturing environment. Mark 10:14, Let
the children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to
such as these.

ACADEMICS
Marty Heintz - Assistant Principal
Some important reminders about scheduling for the
2015-2016 school year:
1. The online schedule request system will be closed at the end of the school day on Friday, April 17 th. Students/parents must
log into RenWeb prior to that time to request classes for next year. You are also free to change your mind until that time,
simply by logging back in and changing your selections. After April 17 th, students must make changes directly through
my office or with one of the guidance counselors.
2. Because of the changes to graduation requirements effective with the graduating class of 2018 (this year’s current
freshmen) we are suggesting that incoming 9th graders and next year’s 10th graders schedule foreign language or an arts
class (Art I, Fine Arts Survey or Competitive Speech/Theatre) as their elective. (See information on graduation
requirements below.)
3. Actual scheduling will be tentatively completed in May. Seniors will meet with me to schedule classes; other grade levels
are automatically scheduled. Current students will be able to log on to RenWeb when the process is complete in May and
view the tentative schedule.
4. Remember, the schedules are tentative until August and it is very likely that schedules will change, as teachers are hired,
classes are shifted around and numbers adjusted.
5. Finally, teacher assignments are random; parents and/or students may not request or choose teachers. Schedules are not
changed to accommodate student preferences for teachers or to place students in classes with friends.
Graduation requirements and changes for the Class of 2018 and beyond
The state legislature and Board of Elementary and Secondary Education have agreed on a major change to graduation requirements
in the state, effective with this year’s freshman class and future classes. These changes do not affect current sophomores, juniors or
seniors.
Beginning with the class of 2018, there will be two diplomas offered by the state: The Jump Start TOPS Tech (Career) Diploma and
the TOPS University Diploma. Here on the TCHS campus, we will only offer the TOPS University Diploma, as we do not have the
facilities to offer the nine very specific vocational/technical courses required for a student to earn the Tech diploma. According to
information released by the state, the goal is to provide students with the preparation needed to enter the workforce or a four-year
university setting after high school graduation.
What does that mean for your student? For most, nothing changes. The new diploma will require that students complete and pass
four years of college-bound courses for 28 credits, including:
▪ four credits in English
▪ four credits in math
▪ four credits in science
▪ four credits in social studies
▪ two credits in the same foreign language
▪ two credits in physical education
▪ one credit in an approved arts course
▪ seven credits of approved electives/locally required courses (on our campus), that would include four credits in religious studies.
Most of our students already meet that goal for the current TCHS diploma. The major change is in the math area, where financial
math will no longer be an option, as it is not considered a college-bound course. Students will have to take and pass an upper-level
math course, such as Advanced Math I or an equivalent. Our guidance department will work closely with students as we move
toward 2018.
TOPS GPA Changes
▪
▪
In addition to the graduation changes explained above, the legislature also approved changes to the TOPS program, effective
with the Class of 2018. Students who take an approved dual enrollment or honors course at the junior-senior level may earn an
extra quality point. In other words, in those approved courses only, an A will earn 5 rather than the traditional 4 quality points
when figuring the GPA.
Of course, there is a catch to everything in life, as we adults know. According to state officials, the qualifying GPA and possibly
the ACT scores will be adjusted upward as the extra quality point is factored into the GPA. At this time no one knows what
those new TOPS requirements will be, but we do know nothing is changing for this year’s seniors and the 2.5 core GPA and 20
ACT score are this year’s standard.

Every year the Diocese of Lafayette recognizes outstanding teachers, Catholic school supporters,

Teurlings Catholic Educator of the Year, Mr. Robbie Richard, Catholic School Achievers/
Supporters of the Year, Janet Ray, and Student of the Year Kynnedie Maloz.

Outstanding Student of the Year
“Catholic
educational
excellence is
best summed
up by
Teurlings
Catholic’s
mission
statement, ‘to
channel his
spirit.’ Our
call as
teachers is to channel God’s spirit into our
students and help to bring out the very best in
all they do.”
For over a
decade, Janet
Pepper Ray,
has been
“Channeling
His Spirit” for
the glory of
God at
Teurlings
Catholic. She
and her
husband, Glenn, have six childrenGarrett TCH ’06, Jordan TCH ’08, Jenna
TCH ’10, Jillian TCH ’12, Grant TCH
’15 and Jorja Grace TCH ‘2028.
Senior Kynnedie Malox
was named 2014-15
Outstanding Student at
Teurlings Catholic High
School.
She now
progresses to the next
level at the Office of
Catholic Schools to
compete with nominees
from other schools
within the Diocese of
Lafayette. The winner
at the diocesan level will advance to state and
national levels.
Robbie Richard graduated from TCH in 1996.
After earning his degree in social studies
education at UL Lafayette, he returned to
Teurlings Catholic to teach and to coach
students. After 13 years, he cannot imagine
teaching in a better environment. “Teurlings
Catholic has excelled in spirituality, academic
performance, athletics, and in most every
extracurricular activity.” Mr. Richard is a
member of professional organizations
including LA Association for Health, Physical
Education, Recreation & Dance, and LA High
School Athletic Association. He has also
been recognized by the Lafayette Educational
Foundation as an outstanding teacher.
From early mornings when he brings his two
sons, future Rebels Alexander and Aaron to
school at St. Genevieve, until late in the
evenings when he leaves his athletic duties,
Mr. Richard makes an impact on young
adults. Students in his world history classes
feel he makes learning easy.
“He is loud, animated, and sometimes throws
out random facts that stick in my memory,”
says senior Asa Miller. “What he teaches is
what is tested. Every day, before starting new
information, he reviews what we learned on
the previous day. His lectures are interesting
and his PowerPoint presentations are
POINTS, not lengthy texts.”
The class motto of TCH’96, “People may
doubt what we say, but they’ll believe what
we do,” is still evident in all Mr. Richard
does. “I hope that I have made a small
contribution into making Teurlings a better
place in the way that it has made a large
impact on many parts of my life.” Yes, Mr.
Richard, you have made and continue to
make, a tremendous contribution to Teurlings
Catholic.
“My husband and I are thankful to God
for the opportunity to give our children
the gift of a Catholic education. We pray
they never take God’s gifts for granted
but use them to make the world a better
place.”
Janet has been President of the Rebels
Academic Backers Club for the past two
years, chairperson of the RABC raffle for
seven years, and has been a cog pin on
numerous other committees such as Open
House, Catholic Schools Week, Teacher
Monthly Luncheons, and the Teurlings
All Sports Club Dance. She was also seen
on Friday afternoons serving pre-game
meals to the Rebel Football team.
“Teurlings Catholic has become an
extension of our family and has been
instrumental in teaching values we hold
dear; God first and family second, be
honorable, find happiness in all you do,
and live a life of service. The faculty and
staff of TCH have had such compassion
and the best interest of every student at
heart. The Catholic education our 6
children have received, and are
receiving, not only prepares them
mentally and physically, it prepares their
soul.”
Mrs. Ray is a loving part of the heart and
soul of all at Teurlings Catholic.
12
Kynnedie has maintained a 4.0 GPA
throughout her high school career at Teurlings
Catholic and has scored 32 on her ACT. She is
a member of the BETA Club and she made it
to semi-finals in the district Quiz Bowl
contest. As a varsity volleyball player, she
helped secure the school’s State Championship
title for the past two years. She was also
named as All-District defensive basketball
player.
Losing her grandfather has taught her to let
people know her feelings and appreciation “If
there is one thing I’ve come to understand in
my 17 years on this earth, it is that life is short,
and I intend to make the most of every second
that my heart is still beating by loving others
and allowing myself to be loved.” Kynnedie
reaches out to others as a Retreat Team leader,
a Rebel Ambassador, and a member of
Campus Ministry at TCH. During her summer
and holiday breaks from school, she helps bag
and distribute groceries to the homeless and
needy at the Crowley Christian Care Center.
“The little things that I do in my daily life are
a constant reminder of the impact my
grandfather has had on my life and I hope to
make a similar impact on someone else’s life
one day.” There is no doubt that she is a
loving force to be reckoned with as she quotes
Bill Wilson, “to the world you may be one
person but to one person you may be the
world.”
Kynnedie is the daughter of Amy Maloz of
Lafayette.
