Teurlings Catholic has recently completed the first phase of the admissions process for the 2006-2007 school term. In the year 2000, BishopO’Donnell changed the demographics of TCH when he added three additional church parishes (Immaculate Heart of Mary, St. Bernard, andSt. Peter) and three additional feeder schools (Immaculate Heart of Mary, St. Bernard, and Carencro Catholic) to the membership of ourschool. Historically, these parishes and schools had students at Teurlings and because of this restructuring, now had the same priority asthe existing feeder parishes and schools. Currently, interest has increased at St. Ignatius School to secure feeder school status and ownerparish status for St. Charles Borromeo Parish.
In November of 1998, I sent Bishop O’Donnell a thirty page document titled “Study of the Potential Need for a New Catholic School.”Included in this comprehensive study were the demographics of both Lafayette and St. Martin Parishes, referring specifically to totalpopulation movements and school age projections. The list below, from that document, summarizes the reasons for the current favorableattendance trends in the Diocese of Lafayette. It was true in 1998 and is today as well.
• There are more school-age children, with anticipated growth through 2008-2009.
• Dissatisfaction with public education continues.
• There is escalating movement of the Catholic population to areas where there are no Catholic high schools.
• Growing secular trends in society and a desire to provide a value-based education for children has become apparent.
• A conservative trend has led to increased interest by many families in spiritual values and the desire for a Christ-centerededucation for their children.
• While many Catholic school parents struggle to pay tuition, a faith-filled education is deemed a priority, not a sacrifice.
This year we accepted 175 students from the list of 222 who applied, which meant47 students who sought Catholic education were denied admission or placed onthe waiting list. We recognized six years ago we were going to have a problem.We have a problem, and we are working very diligently for positive solutions thatwill benefit Teurlings Catholic for years to come. The building of the new classroomwing will place our students and teachers in technologically sound and comfortableclassrooms. We will continue to upgrade our campus through the capital campaignas we prepare for the future. A future that will see increasing interest in TeurlingsCatholic. We appreciate your prayers for the continued success of the capital
campaign as we continue to Grow in FaithTogether here at Teurlings Catholic HighSchool.

Homework, homework,homework – no one likes it, everyoneconcedes it is necessary, and no oneagrees on how much is too much or toolittle. As a curriculum supervisor, ateacher, a parent, a student, I’vepersonally experienced homework fromdifferent angles, as have most of you.Because of that, I was intrigued by arecent AP/AOL poll that dealt with thehomework issue. It also led me to dosome follow-up with our own students onthe issue.
According to the national poll,19 percent of parents said their kids havetoo much homework. That would meanthat 81 percent of parents think their kidshave either the right amount or notenough. Also according to the poll,students at all grade levels spend anaverage of 90 minutes a night onhomework, with high school studentsspecifically spending an average of 105minutes. However, in contrast to theresults, many individual students polledsaid they never have homework exceptstudying for the occasional test.
One item in the poll that caughtmy attention was the discrepancybetween the length of time parents saidtheir children spent on homework and thetime the students themselves said theyspent on homework. Makes sense, myparent brain tells me, that kids in theirrooms supposedly working on homeworkfor four hours are also using the computerto IM friends, checking email, talking onthe phone, watching TV, playing videogames, and doing all the things kidsnormally do.
I asked around our campus,nothing formal, just my own little spotcheck on homework. While our teachersare assigning – and grading homework– on a regular basis, the majority of ourstudents find time here and therethroughout the day to get the homeworkdone before they head out to practiceand other extracurricular activities. Theyare masters at using the 30 minutes atlunch, the 10 minutes at the break,homeroom period, the dress-in and dress-out time in PE, and any time they get 5minutes here and there in their classschedule to get their written work finished

ACADEMICS
Marty Heintz - Assistant Principal
during the day. Not surprising, thestudents who do not complete homeworkassignments are those with lowergrades, according to teachers. In mostcases, regularly completing homeworkboosts students’ grades an entire lettergrade.
Actually, it is not the writtenhomework that bothers me. Most writtenhomework is designed to reinforce skillslearned in the classroom. Math problemsprovide a good example to reinforce thetheory. The more math problems youwork for practice, the better you get atsolving them, just as the more time youspend throwing a pass or catching aground ball, the better you get at it.
No, what bothers me is studytime. There is a direct correlation for moststudents between the amount of timethey spend studying for tests and thegrades students earn on tests. Thestudent who makes it through highschool without ever really learning howto study for big tests is more likely torun into trouble in college courses.Glancing over notes five minutes beforea high school chapter test may be oknow, but glancing over five weeks ofnotes five minutes before a college testjust won’t be enough.
Many of our students are what Icall “achievers” – and as such areinvolved in multiple activities that leavethem little time for homework and study.The students themselves have solved thewritten homework problem by utilizingtheir free time here on campus, but thatdoesn’t help with true study time. The“study hall” period we had in high school30 years ago has gone the way of thedinosaurs, thanks to high stakes testingand college admissions requirements.Likewise, the free time students had afterschool or in the evening 30 years agohas vanished as extracurricular activities,sports, and part-time jobs take their tollon after-school hours. Given the examplewe provide, with our own overscheduledadult lives, should we be surprised? It’snot that our students have too muchhomework, but rather, that like us adults,they don’t have enough time in the 24-hour day.
