Dear Parents, Students, Prospective Families, and Alumni:

St. Charles Catholic is in its infancy of beginning capital improvement changes that will affect our students by affording them further opportunities in spiritual growth, service, and scholarship. In 1948, our school was formed in Destrehan, Louisiana, and in 1978 moved to its current location in LaPlace. While many things have changed, the standard of excellence in education continues to grow as we move forward with technological advancements and the utilization of innovative teaching methods. Our students participate in a one-to-one laptop program, utilize wireless technology in the classrooms, and incorporate best learning practices into homework assignments and projects.

Our committed faculty participates in conferences, webinars, and in-service days with vendors and guest speakers who have a wide range of expertise and information for them to apply in the classroom. In house, our faculty and staff members participate in Personal Learning Communities during off periods in order to evaluate, analyze and conclude how their teaching affects students standardized test scores. 

Spiritually, our students participate in such activities as World Youth Day, the March for Life in Washington D.C., as well as class retreats at the beginning of each school year. A dedicated team of senior students serves as a “Peer Ministry Team” to the feeder schools in the River Parishes conducting spiritual retreats for those students in grades 5 through 8. Our students also participate in service opportunities within the community including Relay for Life, vacation bible school, and our Thanksgiving meal program by which we, as a school, deliver hundreds of meals to needy families on Thanksgiving Day.

I would like to extend an open invitation for you to visit our campus at any time to be witness to the great things that are happening within our classrooms, on our sporting fields, and in our greater St. Charles community. Our patron saint, St. Charles Borrormeo, served as a proponent of education, and as such, is fitting for our school. Through his intercession we will continue to be successful.

Thank you again for your interest in St. Charles Catholic High School! Please check back often for Comet news and successes. May God bless you!


Sincerely,

Andrew Cupit
Principal
