F R O M T H E P R E S I D E N T ’ S P E N 


Dear Members and Friends of the St. Scholastica Academy Community: 

As we end the year 2008-09, I marvel at the many graces we have received here at SSA to be able to continue the work of 

the Lord for the young women He has brought to our care. The pages of this issue of Wings are full of many of the 

accomplishments and events that have made Academy life special and eventful. What a blessing now to have a consecrated, 

sacred space for our SSA family to pray, worship, and meditate in order to develop a personal spirituality and relationship with 

God. The chapel stands as a symbolic icon of the very core and purpose of our existence as a Catholic educational institution. 

The heart and soul of our school, it is fitting that the chapel is visible from any point on campus. 

One of the songs we used at the Dedication contains the phrase:“We’re standing on holy ground.”With this chapel we honor 

the memory of our founding Benedictine Sisters whose vision and dedication made today possible. Though we no longer 

have the physical presence of the Benedictine Sisters with us, we stand on their shoulders and their spirit. Their spirituality 

continues to guide us in the four pillars of their charism: prayer, work, study, and community. I believe the founders of this 

Academy and all those who have continued their mission to this day would be very proud of this accomplishment and the 

blessings it holds for the future. 

Forty years ago at the time of the demolition of the old chapel, the bell, after a mournful tolling, was removed from its tower. 

Today that same bell is jubilantly re-enthroned in this chapel’s entryway. We are also proud to have brought back to the 

chapel four of the stained glass pieces that once graced the walls of the original chapel built in 1903. We are deeply blessed 

to bring back the past so that we can continue the great legacy left us by our founding Sisters. 

We continue to move forward on the implementation of our strategic plan: “Keep the Promise.” Primary accomplishments 

of this year include the outstanding first year of our laptop program. Through this medium our teachers and students are 

doing things they could never do without the laptop. It has changed the way they teach and learn in so many ways. Other 

undertakings regarding the Strategic Plan include further development of the Faculty Career Ladder initial structure, training 

of students on Naviance college counseling software; hiring of Director of Alumnae Relations. Significant progress has been 

made on curriculum renewal process; updating and revision of master site plan, including evaluation, prioritization, and cost 

effectiveness of identified needs. In the coming year our focus will be on completing the above action items as well as 

beginning the comprehensive process of identifying the vision and action plans for campus ministry which engages all 

students and impacts the growth of their faith. Our work on the strategic plan is never totally finished! It continues to evolve 

and inform our ministry. 

During this year we lost some good friends and alumnae of the Academy, in particular our dear Sister Juanita Federico who 

touched the lives and hearts of so many during her many years at SSA as a student, teacher, librarian, administrator, mentor 

to faculty and students alike. Sister Juanita was a member of SSA’s faculty from 1949-1984. She was one of the few remaining 

Benedictines on faculty when I first came to SSA in 1979. Through her spirit and loving ways I learned so much about 

Benedictine spirituality and the mission of St. Scholastica Academy. A few summers ago I was privileged to visit with her at 

her home in Covington, Kentucky. What a blessing! She was her same lovable self, full of inquiry about all that was going on 

at the Academy and in Covington. I praise God for her service to Him in religious life as well as for her service to the 

Academy. I know she is praying for us daily at the throne of God. May God grant her eternal life and peace. 

The chapel and so many other things at SSA could not be a reality without the generosity of so many. We are deeply grateful 

for your ongoing support, your belief and commitment to the mission of this Academy. We need your support to continue 

so that we can sustain our mission and meet the needs of the young women we serve. 

May God bless you abundantly and may He hold you in the palm of His hand. 

Sincerely in the Lord, 


President

Making a Difference. . . through a ministry of joy and hope 

Jay & Catherine Weil 

ENCORE PARENTS 

By: Mimi Greenwood 

Knight ‘78 

If you call Jay and Catherine Weil when they’re not at home, 

here’s what you’ll hear.The answering machine picks up to the 

sound of saxophone music followed by the unmistakable 

voice of Louie Armstrong crooning, “What a Wonderful 

World”. Catherine joins him, asks for your name and 

number—a pause—then, “And remember. It is a wonderful 

world… Peace.” 

Anyone who knows Catherine and Jay will tell you, it’s a 

message they exude with everything they do. The world is 

wonderful. And so is the God who made it.They’re that kind 

of people—people who live out their Christian faith day to 

day, moment by moment and deeply touch the lives of the 

people they encounter. 

The Weils became part of the St. Scholastica family when 

their daughters, Natalie (2000) and Janell (2002), attended 

the school. They served in many capacities including on the 

school board where Catherine tackled the role of board 

president. Their life’s mission—of bringing joy and hope to 

others—synchronized beautifully with the spirit they found 

on campus. “We knew we wanted a Catholic education for 

our girls and SSA had a good reputation academically,” Jay 

said. “But we were thrilled with how much more we found 

there.” 

“We appreciated the sense of community and the 

camaraderie among the girls,” Catherine said.“One thing that 

stands out at SSA is the selflessness and compassion of the 

faculty.Teaching can be an arduous—sometimes thankless— 

job.We found teachers who are focused on making an impact 

in the life of each individual student and in their community 

expecting nothing in return.” 

“At SSA we found a village of faith that emphasized the same 

family values we strive to instill in our daughters,” she 

continued. “The teachers serve as role models of respect, 

love and kindness to the girls every day. Jay and I sent our girls 

to SSA because we thought it was the best place for them 

but we had no idea how our lives would be enriched as well” 

“When we look at the things and people we’re most grateful 

for in our lives, we realize that many of them came through 

our association with St. Scholastica. At SSA we’ve met 

dedicated administrators we respect and admire, devoted, 

self-less teachers and so many parents who share our values 

and have become our friends.” 

The Weils were one of many Louisiana families who lost 

their home in Hurricane Katrina in 2005. When faced with 

the task of rebuilding, they looked at it—as they do so many 

things—as a way to share their blessings and their philosophy 

with the world. They named their new home Gaudium et 

Spec which is Latin for Joy and Hope. 

“Joy and hope is what our community and our God gave to 

us after Katrina,” Catherine said. “Jay and I figured that, if we 

named our home Gaudium et Spec, it would be a reminder 

to us every day to make that our mission—to bring the same 

joy and hope to everyone we come in contact with.” 

Two other pet mantras of the Weils are,“begin with the end 

in sight and live in the moment.” It’s a philosophy they employ 

in their volunteer time, in Jay's medical development firm, in 

Catherine’s position as administrator of R&R Homecare, Inc., 

in their marriage of twenty-eight years, in raising their 

daughters, Natalie, who will finish Tulane Med School in May 

2010 and Janell, who graduated from LSU Law School in May 

2009, and in life.“We’re all so blessed every day of our lives,” 

Catherine said.“God has put us in a unique position to share 

His love and His blessings with people.We wake up every day 

grateful to be able to do that.” 

We’re grateful to have the Weils as part of our school family.

Spotlight On Teacher 

David Arbo 

SPOTLIGHT 

By: Denise Bordelon 

Walking around with a jar of baby snakes. Doing toe touches 

upon request. Often donning a white lab coat. This is Mr. 

David Arbo, one of SSA’s most beloved science teachers and 

chair of the science department. Students who take Arbo’s 

courses (biology honors, anatomy honors, physics, or 

computer science elective) know they will work hard. But 

they appreciate the work; they have come to realize that the 

hard work is worth it in the end, and Arbo has helped them 

discover this important life lesson. 

“Mr.Arbo really prepares us for college,” Mackenzie Schott ‘09 

says. “We were challenged, and I appreciated this in his 

teaching. I felt like I was really learning the material. He didn’t 

spoon-feed it to us.” It’s this commitment to teaching the 

students not only the material, but the skills they need to 

succeed beyond SSA that garners Mr.Arbo such respect from 

his students. “He used innovative teaching techniques to 

challenge his students, and he always made sure to tell us 

how we will use these skills,” says Savannah Jenkins ‘09. 

Caroline Henson ‘09 agrees that his teaching style helped 

students in their critical thinking skills. She says,“He answered 

our questions with a question. He always made us think.” 

With a Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, a 

Master’s degree in biomedical engineering, and his teaching 

certificate in biology, it’s no wonder the girls learn a great deal 

from Arbo. His sixteen years here at SSA (eighteen total 

years teaching) makes him an enduring part of the SSA 

faculty. Fellow teacher Joe Adragna says,“David’s made my job 

[as 9th grade head moderator] so much easier because of 

the initiative he takes in everything. David is a remarkable 

moderator who never fails to help organize events, even if it’s 

at the drop of a hat.” Students have the same opinion of 

Arbo’s dedication to the school. 

“You can tell he really loves what he 

does. He’s a great teacher.” 

Amidst all the studying and the work, students say what they 

really appreciate is the personal commitment Arbo has as an 

educator. Surget Beatrous ‘09, is grateful for his caring side. 

She says, “When we were all stressed out about difficult 

material, Mr.Arbo diffuses the stress by trying to lighten things 

up a bit, and he was always there if we need extra help.” 

Overall, students love the way Arbo combines his 

expectations of hard work with understanding and 

compassion, the presentation of difficult material with the 

belief in them that they can do it. Schott sums up many 

students’ views of Arbo: “You can tell he really loves what he 

does. He’s a great teacher.”

A Good Foundation 

Malise Prieto 

C L A S S O F 1 9 7 6 

ALUMNA PROFILE 

By: Deborah Burst 

Malise Prieto credits her success to her 

strong scholastic training at SSA 

She won the St.Tammany Parish Clerk of Court title in November 

1995 after practicing 12 years of law during her mid thirties. Like 

many of us, Malise Prieto draws on her early roots working in the 

courthouse since the age of 13, burying her nose in record books 

abstracting during her summer vacations from SSA. Upon 

graduation in 1976, she attended LSU, then law school and 

returned home to do what she loved. 

“I can remember as a kid opening these books and seeing the 

clerk’s signature on the documents and thinking that’s what I want 

to do one day,” Malise says. “I love it…it’s a challenge every single 

day.” 

A born leader, she has served three terms and was elected to a 

fourth term with no opposition. Chartering a new direction for the 

Clerk of Court office, Malise has built a solid foundation based on 

employee education and customer satisfaction. Employees are 

provided uniforms and name tags promoting employee pride, 

confidence, accountability and recognition from the public. The 

professional image continues throughout the departments with 

strict attention to details.Walls are draped with European artwork, 

unsigned canvases from art schools in Europe. A cohesive team, 

each floor, department and employee work as partners serving 

their fellow coworkers and customers. 

A legacy of seven generations of Prietos on the Northshore, Malise 

is committed to building a strong community. She attended the 

1997 St. Tammany West Leadership class, was instrumental in 

building the St. Tammany Trace and forged the way for a new 

courthouse. Five officials including Malise braved the political 

naysayers and pushed for more taxes to build the Justice Center. 

From a hodgepodge of buildings scattered throughout the 

downtown Covington area, the Clerk of Court’s office joined the 

Assessor’s and Sheriff’s office moving into the new building in 2003. 

“It took us three weeks but we never closed to the 

public…everyone jokes and says we went from the outhouse to 

the penthouse,” laughs Malise. 

Another responsibility of the Clerk of Court office is managing 

elections and the poll commissioners. Recognizing the challenge of 

recruiting poll commissioners to support a voting population of 

153,000, the state legislature opened the positions to high school 

seniors. A huge push was put into place by Malise and her staff 

visiting high schools across the parish. SSA offered their cafeteria for 

the six hour class, welcoming seniors and in some cases their 

parents. It provides initiative, good communication skills and a way 

to make some extra money. Many graduates are adding the 

position to their resumes and college applications. 

“They learn about the election process, the voting machine and 

hopefully voting will be a normal part of their adult life,” says Malise. 

“They add so much energy and the other commissioners love 

having them.” 

10 D O V E W I N G S 

Clerk of Court, Prieto. 

Prieto as a SSA student. 

With 158 precincts, Becky Galatas ‘76, the election coordinator, 

reports there are 970 active commissioners. They had a very 

successful campaign certifying 40 SSA seniors last year. As they 

graduate and move on to college, some retire while others 

continue their commissioner duties. Becky recognizes one SSA 

student in particular. 

“Vicitoria Doskey worked every election since certification,” says 

Becky commenting she’s now a student at LSU. “They’re not 

intimidated by technology.” 

A mover and shaker, Malise stays active in the community and a 

leader in motivating others to volunteer. Every year the entire Clerk 

of Court office supports a different charity. Recently they selected 

the food bank and SSA assisted in the effort collecting food, moving 

boxes and working inside the food bank building. 

With roughly 63 graduates in SSA’s class of ’76, the group holds a 

collection of independent thinkers and hard-working professionals 

who meet for dinner about every 6 weeks. Many have moved back

“We’ve gone through all kinds of personal challenges,” says Malise. 

“Our class is there for each other.” 

Malise says a good part of her success is due to her education at 

both Our Lady of the Lake and Saint Scholastica Academy. She 

attributes her foundation in writing as the key element in 

completing law school. 

“I was lucky enough to have Sister Jeanne d’Arc and Alyce O’Brien 

for honors English,” says Malise.“They helped me so much with my 

writing skills, I could put my thoughts down, it made law school a 

breeze.” 

But Malise admits there was more to SSA than English. A well 

rounded program that not only helped her get where she is today 

but forged a path in gaining personal goals. 

“I will cherish forever Olive Hendry,” says Malise who loves to travel 

abroad. “She taught me French which led me to my passion, I still 

use it as my second language and it prepared me for college.”

from three topics and one of them was all about altering babies’ genetics before they are 

born – if you think it is right or wrong. I remembered we talked about this in Mrs. 

MacIver’s class “...it’s that movie Gattica…” so I went crazy with it and was recalling 

information from the Bible. I was saying, “Yea! for SSA’s religion department!” You 

don’t learn to appreciate your classes in high school until you’re expected to know it in 

college. - Kat Foudriat ‘08

“ T H E K I N G A N D I ” 

By: Katie Schimmeck 

With a cast and crew of 179, the St. Scholastica Academy 

Benedictine Players 2008 spring production of The King and I was 

truly a community effort. 

Director Patricia Schaff cast everyone who tried out for a part 

in the Broadway theatre and film favorite, and friends and family 

of SSA worked tirelessly to ensure the success of the production, 

which ran April 9-13 in Benet Hall at St. Joseph Abbey in 

Covington. 

Schaff, whose direction of The King and I marked her 54th 

musical, said the musical “was a fabulous addition to my list of 

productions. The entire concept of the play was formulated 

around community. Children joined us from over twenty schools 

in the entire St. Tammany Parish area, ranging from ages eighteen 

months to 18 years. We truly worked as a well-oiled machine, 

committed to the project and organized to perfection. 

The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical takes place in the early 

1860’s and follows fiercely independent Anna Leonowans as she 

teaches modern Western education to the 39 wives and 

concubines and 82 children of King Mongkut of Siam. A struggled 

relationship ensues between Anna and the King, due to the King’s 

restrictive and overbearing nature, but eventually, the pair 

becomes close. Notable songs from the musical included “I 

Whistle A Happy Tune,” “Getting to Know You,” “The Small 

House of Uncle Thomas,” and “Shall We Dance?” 

The set was furnished with fabulous backdrops featuring an 

elaborately painted Buddha and a gorgeous copy of the city of 

Bangkok in 1862. The dais was trimmed with four 20-foot 

columns for the king’s throne room scenes. For nostalgic reasons, 

periaktoi, which are revolving triangles featuring painted scenes, 

from the 1998 SSA production of The Sound of Music were 

repainted and used as set tabs. 

Props used in the production were authentic, and the costumes 

were exact replicas of the ones used in the 1956 film featuring 

Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr. The costumes were custom 

made and ornate; in fact, one of Anna’s dresses featured a skirt 

composed of twenty yards of fabric.

kneel. Et cetera, Et cetera, Et cetera.”

St. Scholastica Academy’s 24th annual Falaya Fling was held on 

March 8, 2008, and provided fun and raised funds for the 

school. Falaya Fling, SSA’s major fundraiser, attracted local and 

regional sponsors and entertained over 750 SSA parents, 

faculty, staff members, and friends with an elegant evening, 

including a buffet-dinner dance and extraordinary silent and 

live auctions. 

The Falaya Fling helped SSA raise more than $137,000. The 

gala’s proceeds were designated to landscaping SSA’s 

outdoor prayer garden, campus security lighting and e-books 

reference sets with 24/7 access for the media center and a 

percentage will also go to the SSA Endowment Fund. A 

donation from the Fling was given to New Heights Therapy 

Center, the 2008 Falaya Fling charity. 

SSA President Marguerite Celestin and Principal Mary 

Kathryn Villere welcomed guests to the gala event held at the 

Castine Center at Pelican Park in Mandeville. Famous radio 

host and food aficionado, Tom Fitzmorris, served as the 

auctioneer for the event. He enticed bidders with some 

magnificent live auction items, including a LSU helmet 

autographed by the SEC championship team, which 

produced a hot bidding frenzy between two of the patrons. 

Bidding at the end of the online auction was fast and furious, 

and included vacation and leisure trips, sparkling jewelry and 

many more exciting items. 

The Pick-A-Live raffle, which made its debut at the 2007 

Falaya Fling, was won by Bob Harvey, who selected diamond 

and ruby earrings from Adler’s. The $5,000 tuition raffle was 

won by Shawn Reed; the $5,000 cash raffle by James and 

Brenda Melancon; and, the Blingtini quarter-carat diamond 

donated by Boudreaux’s Jewelers was won by Lisa Giardina. 

In the live auction, Ashley Byrne was the highest bidder for 

the Labrador puppy. Over 800 items donated by SSA 

alumnae, students, and parents were featured in the silent 

auction, which also included a large selection of art created 

by SSA students. Guests enjoyed cuisine from over 50 local 

restaurants and danced to live music by The Topcats.

US Congressional Page 


Emily Andrews, a St. Scholastica Academy senior, was chosen to serve in the United 

States House of Representatives Page Program during the fall semester of 2007. She 

was sponsored by Republican Congressman Bobby Jindal, who is now Governor of 

Louisiana. She served as a Page from September 1 to January 28, and lived in the US 

House of Representatives Page Dormitory in Washington, D.C., where she attended 

early morning high school classes on the third floor of the Library of Congress and 

served in the Republican Cloak Room at the US Capitol. Her duties in the Cloak 

Room included notifying Congressmen of votes and vote times, maintaining official 

cloakroom records of daily proceedings, and placing legislation in the “Bill Hopper”. 

Emily enjoyed her service as a US Page, where she met politicians and foreign 

diplomats on a daily basis and saw firsthand a part of the American democratic 

process in action. Highlights from her appointment include attending a Veteran’s Day 

service at Arlington National Cemetery featuring then Vice President Dick Cheney as 

speaker, visiting the Holocaust Museum, listening to lectures at the National Book 

Convention and touring the innovations at the Solar Decathlon at the National Mall, 

and observing the new Congressional Visitor Center before its completion. At the 

hubbub of the US Capitol, Emily spotted Sen. John McCain, the Dalai Llama, Bono, Fran 

Drescher, Alan Alda and Ben Affleck.. 

Of her experience as a US Page, Emily says, “It made the legislative process more tangible and real. I now realize the hard work 

involved, and have a greater respect for those in the political arena.” Emily is the daughter of Scott and Suzanne Andrews, of 

Mandeville.

respective schools and compare different aspects of school life in the 

two countries. Additionally, Rahman was able to observe a performance 

by the school’s 120-member band and participate in a number of 

school and club activities, such as green tea ceremony, Japanese 

calligraphy, Shaolin Kung Fu, and the Judo club.

In the increasingly competitive and rapidly-changing sea of collegepreparatory 

schooling, it is never enough to simply tread water to 

stay afloat. That’s why a strong annual giving program is exactly 

what’s needed to continue offering our daughters, granddaughters, 

and future generations at SSA the best education possible within 

the Benedictine framework of prayer, work, study, and community. 

The school’s annual giving program, “Keep the Promise,” is designed 

to do exactly that. Director of Fund Development Nicole Jemison 

Siverd (’95) said Keep the Promise is a flexible plan that enables 

anyone to contribute to the betterment of SSA regardless of the 

size or nature of their gift. The invitation to participate is extended 

to the entire SSA family, including past and current parents, 

grandparents, faculty, staff, and alumnae. Donors may choose from a 

wide array of financial levels. Your gifts of prayers, time and talent are 

equally valued. 

“Participation at ANY level is appreciated,” said Siverd, “Together we 

can accomplish great things.” 

Siverd emphasized that the annual giving fund is not intended to 

meet day-to-day expenses of operating the school, but to offer 

students something beyond a basic education. 

“Keep the Promise is designed to take a fine education and make it 

exceptional by providing resources and experiences that truly do 

make a difference..” she explained, “These funds will help underwrite 

the goals of SSA’s strategic five-year plan, ‘Innovation, Purpose, and 

Promise,’ which is paving the way for SSA to become the best 

school in the Gulf South.” 

Now in its second year, Keep the Promise has already impacted SSA 

in many positive ways. Last year, donors contributed over $240,000 

to the annual fund. Some of these gifts were used to purchase new 

software such as Naviance, a program that is designed for college 

and career counseling. As a result, students of all grade levels, as well 

as faculty and parents, have a new and expanded set of tools and 

resources at their disposal to explore college and career options. 

Keep the Promise gifts were also earmarked to fund a new science 

lab that was completed last summer. In addition, faculty and staff 

attended over 20 workshops and conferences to enhance their 

professional development. For example, members of the Math 

Department attended a workshop for Geometer’s Sketchpad 

software. This is a dynamic construction, demonstration and 

exploration tool that adds a powerful dimension to the study of 

mathematics, particularly by illustrating complex mathematical 

concepts in a clear, easy-to-understand way. Also, last summer 

faculty members of the Spanish Department attended the National 

Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling Conference. 

Geared for foreign language teachers, SSA attendees were able to 

learn more about the National TPRS methodology, a proven 

teaching method designed to increase students’ foreign language 

proficiency through storytelling and live-action visual aids. 

Gifts received from last year’s Keep the Promise annual giving 

program have impacted SSA in other ways besides academics.

Thanks to the generosity of donors, contributions were used to 

purchase a sound system for Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel, 

a facility that will bolster students’ spiritual growth as well as 

strengthen the school’s Catholic identity on campus. 

In addition, with a commitment to allocate 10% of gifts each year to 

the St. Scholastica Academy endowment fund, last year Keep the 

Promise donors contributed more than $20,000 towards that end. 

“Last year was the first year of the program and it was a huge 

success,” Siverd said, “We were very happy with the results and 

grateful to all those who participated.” 

Three specific and exciting initiatives were targeted to benefit 

from gifts for Keep the Promise 2008-09. Donors were invited to 

select the gift areas of their choice: 

Faculty Career Ladder -- a program designed to 

attract, retain and reward quality teachers at SSA. 

This includes ongoing professional development. 

Technology Infrastructure -- a program that 

ensures, among other things, that the Help Desk is 

equipped to serve the daily needs of students, all of 

whom depend upon personal, laptop computers for 

class and study as part of the one-to-one computing 

program. 

Greatest Impact -- unrestricted gifts that will be 

applied to areas where the greatest impact can be 

made in fulfilling goals of the strategic five-year plan. 

Alumnae benefactors may also choose to give to the Alumnae 

Scholarship Fund as well as the Our Mother of Perpetual Help 

Chapel. 

Besides benefiting students now, Keep the Promise and the strategic 

five-year plan will benefit students and glorify God for generations 

to come. By combining an outstanding, state-of-the-art, 21stcentury 

education with the time-honored Benedictine principles of 

prayer, work, study, and community, school improvements effected 

by these programs will ensure that St. Scholastica Academy 

continues educating and forming young women to become strong, 

savvy Christian leaders who will make a positive impact upon the 

world. 

A 2008-09 report will be featured in the next Wings issue. Plans 

are now underway for Keep the Promise 2009-10. Volunteers are 

encouraged to join the annual giving effort. To find out more about 

Keep the Promise and ways you can help, call the Advancement 

Office at 892-2540, extension 132, or email Siverd at

Our Moth 


Since the late sixties, various spaces have 

accommodated the chapel on the St. 

Scholastica Academy campus from time to 

time. Sister Jeanne Kernion d’Arc ’53, 

principal from 1972-1979, stated, “When 

the original school building was torn down, 

the chapel was moved from place to place, 

like the Israelites looking for a spiritual 

home.” Although these spaces provided 

students and staff with a place to pray, they 

were inadequate. Now, a permanent chapel 

is constructed that is truly a spiritual 

gathering place for worship and prayer. 

Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel was 

a dream in the making for over 25 years; 

the actual project was a year and a half in 

the making. President Marguerite Celestin 

said the whole experience of getting the 

chapel together showed what trust in God 

can accomplish. 

With the help and support of benefactors, 

the chapel - a foundation of strong, longlasting 

materials - is the focal point of the 

SSA campus. Classes, student groups or 

sports teams can now celebrate Mass in 

the intimate setting. The chapel will also be 

used for Eucharistic adoration, prayer 

groups, including those who pray the 

rosary during lunch hour, and individual 

prayer. As students and staff walk through 

the joys and sorrows of a typical school 

year, the chapel will be an accessible space 

to reflect and seek comfort from our Lord. 

The groundbreaking was October 23, 2007 

and the dedication was November 14, 

2008. The chapel was blessed and the altar 

formally dedicated by Most Rev. Alfred C. 

Hughes, S.T.D., Archbishop of New Orleans 

along with concelebrants, Abbot Justin 

Brown, O.S.B., Very Rev. Neal McDermott, 

O.P., Rev. Matthew Clark, O.S.B. and Rev. 

John F. Talamo. and three deacons, David 

Caldero, Nelvin Luke and Louis Mire. 

The chapel blessing and dedication of the 

altar was celebrated with a Mass and the 

formal dedication of the altar. White linens 

were placed on the altar and the candles 

were lit to show how Christ the Light 

radiates from the altar to all people. 

Altar servers were Maile Binion ’10, Cheryl 

Cole ’11, Elizabeth Holzenthal ’11, Laura 

Iverson ’11, Angela LaBorde ’10, and Carly 

Loveland ’11. SSA Advancement Director, 

Elaine Simmons and Campus Minister 

Barbara Link served as Extraordinary 

Ministers of Holy Communion. Lectors 

were Mackenzie Schott ’09, Rachael 

Delahoussaye ’02, and faculty members 

Patrice Cedor and Wayne Cruthirds. 

Cantors: Faith Baggett ’11, Kate Baker ’11,

SSA School Board Chair Matt Voelkel performed the Welcome. Remarks were given by 

Mary Kathryn Villere, SSA Principal, Sr. Kathleen Finnerty, OSU, Superintendent of Schools, 

Archdiocese of New Orleans Sr. Jeanne d’Arc Kernion ’53 (SSA Principal 1972-79) and 

Marguerite S. Celestin, SSA President. 

A wonderful reception was held after the dedication with delicious food prepared by local 

restaurants. Thank you to our chapel dedication reception chairs Jane Harvey, Beth 

Lambert, Cheryl Murphy, and Karen Spell. The reception cake made in the likeness of the 

chapel was created by Lynell Manning Dupepe ’78. 

Our Chapel 

The chapel was initially conceived as a replacement for the original chapel that graced the 

old school building torn down in the 1960’s. We have chosen the title of our Blessed 

Mother “Our Mother of Perpetual Help” for several reasons. She is “Our Mother,” an 

important role model for our young women (for whom motherhood is highly valued). 

Mary is always there for us, thus “Perpetual Help.” Through devotion to Our Mother of 

Perpetual Help, our students will learn that Mary, our Mother, will help them in time of need 

and be their intercessor before the throne of God. This new chapel fulfills a long-time 

dream of the return of a true chapel to our campus. 

General Description 

The placement of the chapel within the campus serves as the centerpiece for the campus. 

lt stands at the terminus of two orientations of the campus, the front entrance promenade 

and the campus green. 

The intent of the exterior design was to provide a contemporary interpretation in line and 

form of the original school building that had mission revival influences from the Beaux Arts 

movement. The entry experience includes layered faces that define the entrance portal, a 

courtyard and then the main entrance. 

The interior was meant to be straightforward with strong horizontal planes reinforced by 

the warmth of the wood floor and ceiling. The wall behind the altar is also layered. The 

forefront is a series of pylons that screen natural light, reflected on the back of the pylons. 

The pylons have been painted blue. A darker blue toward the edges moves to a lighter blue 

at the center directly behind the altar, thus highlighting and focusing the axis. The tower 

allows filtered light into the space that highlights a devotional space for the titular icon, Our 

Mother of Perpetual Help. The wood grilles at the main entry and the entry to the tower 

are the supporting accents to the space that recalls the mission style. 

The chapel will hold 180 people and will be used for class level Masses, adoration, prayer 

services, communion services, rosaries, and individual meditation. Unfortunately, it will not 

be large enough for the entire school at one time; therefore, we will still hold “all-school” 

Masses in the gym. In time to come, the chapel will hold special memories and meaning for 

our students as they grow and develop in their faith. It will also be a place where some of 

them will choose to hold their weddings. 

Note: Some of the interior appointments were not ready at the time of Dedication and 

will be installed later. They include the permanent tabernacle, font, presider’s chair and the 

icons of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, Visitation, and Holy Family. The outdoor prayer 

garden which will feature the Stations of the Cross will also be completed in the near 

future.

Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel 

Bell 

The large bell above the front entrance of the chapel is the same bell 

that hung in the tower atop SSA’s original four-story wooden building 

and rang for the first time on September 4, 1903. In 1910, it rang for 

the dedication of the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. Through the 

years the bell has rung for classes, for Mass and for the Angelus. From 

its place in the old tower – the highest spot in Covington at that time 

- it announced the daily unfolding history of the school and the people 

who formed it – teachers, students, parents and the community. As it 

rang its daily messages, it marked the passing years of growth. 

In 1967 the bell rang to announce the dedication of the new buildings 

by Archbishop Philip Hannan. At the time of the demolition of the old 

buildings in 1968, the bell, after a mournful tolling, was removed from 

its tower and moved to the Benedictine Priory on Stafford Road. In 

1988, on the occasion of the eighty-fifth anniversary of the school, the 

bell was returned to the Academy campus where it continues to ring 

on various ceremonial occasions. The bell, along with the Grotto and 

the stained glass in the chapel, now remain as the last original symbols 

of SSA’s early days. Today this bell hangs in a place of honor at the 

entrance to the new chapel. 

Furnishings and Appointments 

The liturgical furnishings, including the altar, ambo, priest celebrant’s 

chair, font, candlesticks and tabernacle, are designed around two 

motivic devices. The first is that the general form of each of the pieces 

is based on that of the four pillars that stand at the main entrance of 

the campus representing the four Benedictine virtues of prayer, work, 

study, and community. Second, stone is used in all of the pieces, except 

the celebrant’s chair and candlesticks. Each of the liturgical furnishings 

lays a claim of sacred ground and takes a stance on a matter of faith as 

it celebrates the victory of Jesus Christ. 

The carpet that demarks the sanctuary sets the interior palette of the 

chapel while recalling the swirls of the grillwork on the school’s 

exterior fence and gate. Again, while the swirls suggest a heart-shaped 

graphic, they also suggest the constant yet ever gentle flow of the 

human and divine exchange; an exitus reditus of doxology and 

revelation which occurs at every Eucharistic celebration. The carpet, 

ironically enough, lies flat as it summons a kinesthetic response beneath 

the steadfast pillars and granite that compose the altar and ambo. 

Frieze 

The calligraphic frieze that adorns the left and right walls of the chapel 

is composed of an ancient Christian hymn text and key parts of the 

Eucharist. Emerging from the walls as a monochromatic relief, there is 

a sense that the very walls from which they hang are attempting to 

break the silence and defy their very nature as inanimate objects. Three 

particular verses from Scripture are suggested by this understanding of 

an ecclesial calligraphic frieze. Readers are encouraged to study Daniel 

5:5, Habakkuk 2:11 and Luke 19:40 to understand how God uses the 

lowliest of the lowly (for what is lower than inanimate objects?) to 

annunciate divine proclamations. Suffice it to say, in Scripture, walls do 

talk! 

The text on either side of the altar is easily recognizable to all who 

celebrate the Eucharist. The thrice repeated acclamation “holy” to the 

LORD God concludes with shouts of “hosanna” to him “who comes in 

the name of the LORD.” The text is drawn from the Book of the 

Prophet Isaiah and is later borrowed by Saint John to be employed in 

the Book of Revelation. Although commonly thought of as a simple 

acclamation of praise, much like the word alleluia (praise the Lord), 

“hosanna” is actually a plea for salvation. The wall to the right of the 

altar balances this text with a thrice repeated recognition of him who 

comes to save as the Lamb of God. A plea for peace, that is salvation, 

follows. 

The remaining two walls present a translation of a hymn that is 

believed to date back to the first Christian century. Known in Latin as 

the Te Decet Laus (To you be praise), the text is a good example of 

primary theology. In these four short lines, a fundamental tenant of the 

Christian faith is presented. The God to whom all praise and hymns are 

due is a Triune God: a Father, Son and Spirit. 


Iconography 

The chapel contains several works of art that are designated as “icons.” 

In Greek, “icon” means “image.” Whereas in Western Christianity, 

sculpture in conjunction with painting has been employed for liturgical 

artistic expression, iconography is used throughout the Eastern 

Christian world as the sole liturgical art form. An icon is much more 

than a simple representation of events or persons of the past. An icon 

makes present that which it depicts. Icons are, therefore, sacramental, 

not simply works of art, much less decoration. Stylistically, icons differ 

from traditional Western art in substantial ways. Perhaps most 

noticeably, icons are “flat.” The bodies of the holy subjects depicted have 

exaggerated features; typically almond-shaped eyes, enlarged ears, long 

thin noses, and small mouths. Through such rendering of the human 

form, iconographers attempt to indicate that the sanctified enjoy a new 

existence. The use of techniques to create a sense of depth perspective 

is shunned in iconography. Similarly, the frontality of the figures is 

striking, even confrontational in a passive sort of way. There are no 

shadows in icons. The image itself is the source of light. In short, icons 

are not realistic but distort reality to present new possibilities. In 

addition, icons are notably restrained and balanced yet multifaceted in 

symbolic meaning. In the end, icons are able to invite contemplation. 

As a final note on the subject, it must be mentioned that tradition 

refers to the rendering of an icon not as “painting” but as “writing.” An 

icon is understood to be the illumination of the Word of God. As a 

“word,” therefore, it is written. 

Crucifix 

As with the Te Decet Laus of the frieze, the importance of Trinitarian 

theology to Christianity is reflected in the crucifix that hangs above the 

altar. In addition to a Trinitarian interpretation of the crucifix, a more 

Christocentric understanding is also available. This depiction of the 

Crucified Savior of the world presents the fullness of the mystery of 

the Christian faith in the person of Jesus the Christ. 

The upper section of the cross represents God the Father. The Manus 

Dei (hand of God) represents the Father, who blesses his Son with 

whom He is well pleased. God is hidden by clouds and darkness. The 

eight-pointed stars represent his divinity. He “dwells in unapproachable 

light, whom no man has ever seen or can see.” (1 Timothy 6:16) 

The middle section of the cross shows God the Son, incarnate in the 

person of Jesus. Here Jesus is affixed to the wood of the cross, but does 

not hang or slump in death. In his humanity he has died. One sees the 

wounds of his hands, feet and side, wounds that will forever bear 

witness to his suffering. In his divinity he is straight, with eyes wide open. 

One sees a King and Lord, wearing a crown and reigning. As sure as 

Jesus is fully human, a man who suffered and died on a cross, he is also 

fully Divine, incorporeal and insensate. He is, therefore, one and the 

same inseparable “person” who at one and the same time lived in glory 

and died in agony. 

In the nimbus or halo of Jesus is a cross signifying redemption. On his 

crown are pearls, sapphires and amethysts. On either side of his halo 

are the Greek letters IC and XC. These are the first and last letters of 

the name, Jesus Christ. It is essential the personages in icons be 

identified with their names. The inscription establishes that the 

archetype is present in the image. Also, note well that the hand of the 

Father, from the heavenly firmament, and that of the Son, from the 

earthbound cross, are both poised in a gesture of blessing. This simple 

detail indicates that the Father and the Son are in fact One and 

coeternal. 

In the lower section of the cross The Holy Spirit, in the traditional form 

of a dove, proceeds from the Father and the Son to both safeguard and 

teach (Jn 16:12). The dove is the symbol of the Third Person of the 

Trinity as cited in the Gospel of Luke 3: 21-22 “and when Jesus also had 

been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy 

Spirit descended upon him in bodily form, as a dove, and a voice came 

from heaven, ‘Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.’ ” 

Our Mother of Perpetual Help 

As the titular icon, Our Mother of Perpetual Help holds a prominent 

yet appropriately demure position in the chapel. Of the many images 

depicting the Mother and Child, this one demonstrates quite effectively 

the dynamic relationship between the Virgin and the Fruit of her womb 

and, therefore, the relationship between the Blessed Mother and those 

who follow her Son. 

The icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help is often referred to as an 

icon of the Passion. The angels holding the instruments of the Passion 

have their hands covered with a protecting veil as a sign of reverence 

in handling sacred objects. The Child Jesus is shown with an adult face 

and a high brow, indicating his divine mind of infinite intelligence. As 

God, he knew that the angelic apparition was prophetic of his future 

passion. Yet in his human nature as a small child, frightened by the vision 

of two angels showing him the instruments of the Passion, the Christ 

Child runs hastily to his Mother for protection, almost losing one of his 

tiny sandals. Mary holds him in her arms reassuringly, lovingly. Our Lady 

quickly picks him up and clasps him to her bosom. The Child Jesus 

clasps his Mother’s right hand with both of his, holding tightly to Our 

Lady’s thumb as a reminder to us that, just as on earth he placed 

himself entirely in her hands for protection, so now in heaven he has 

given into her hands all graces, to distribute to those who ask her. 

Our Lady’s face is of unspeakable majesty and calm, and yet her large 

eyes, partly closed, express ineffable sorrow and sympathy. Our Lady is 

not looking at Jesus, but rather on us, her adopted children, as if to 

express compassion for us in our fears and sorrows. How better to 

express Our Lady’s plea to us to love her Son. 

The icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help is a traditional Byzantine 

type, but modified by the medieval softening of features in Cardiotissa 

style, touching the emotion and showing an action story proper to this 

art form. Little imagination is required to see how fitting this patroness 

is for a school chapel. 

Holy Family and Visitation Icons 

Two additional icons commissioned for the chapel are equally suited to 

the mission of Saint Scholastica Academy. The Holy Family and The 

Visitation both represent the values of family and sisterhood stressed 

during the student’s tenure of academic and spiritual formation. 

Statue of St. Scholastica 

Sculpted of cold cast bronze, the statue of St. Scholastica that stands 

just inside the main entrance was originally commissioned by The 

Benedictine Sisters at Sacred Heart in Cullman, Alabama. The Sisters 

wanted a portrayal of their patron that captured her spirit and joy. The 

title of the sculpture is “Release,” as she is releasing her spirit to God. 

The model for the sculpture was a ballet dancer who travels the 

country performing Christian/Spiritual Dance. The ballerina pose 

portrays the image of Scholastica releasing the dove in flight just as 

Benedict, her brother, witnessed his sister’s soul leaving her body and 

entering into heaven in the form of a dove. 


Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel 

This statue was destined to be part of SSA. Our religion teachers 

attending the Hofinger Conference in January 2004 discovered the 

statue at the exposition. They knew her home should be on the SSA 

campus. We are proud to make Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel 

her permanent home. 

Stained Glass 

Finally, mention must be made of the four antique stained glass 

windows that hang above the courtyard entrance to the chapel. These 

windows are from the original St. Scholastica Convent Chapel that 

stood on the site of the present day Academy. By having this remnant 

from the venerable sisters who prayed in their presence, proud honor 

is given to their memory and gratefulness for the path they set out for 

the generations of students to follow. It is the work of their arms, like 

those of the Blessed Mother, that helps to propel all who study, pray, 

work and commune in this place, to enter the fullness of Trinitarian life. 

Our Dream Come True . . . 

The new chapel provides a true spiritual center of the campus. As a 

Catholic high school, we are centered in Christ. We see our students 

frequently stopping by the chapel to connect with God even if it is just 

for a few brief moments before they head to their next class. 

Our mission to teach as Christ taught is the reason for this school, the 

teacher in the classes, the model of its faculty, the inspiration of its 

students. May our school community be strengthened with a true 

chapel on our campus and renewed in hope. 

Celestin thanked the SSA community and many others who made the 

chapel possible and brought it to life. She acknowledged special thanks

St. Scholastica Academy students are required to fulfill 20 hours of 

service in a school year as part of the school’s Service Learning 

Program. This policy has been very successful in our young women 

learning to participate in their community in giving back of their time 

and talent. 

Each class accumulated a total number of hours for the year; 5,725 for 

seniors, 10,925, for juniors, 6,471, for sophomores, 5,771, for freshmen, 

4,246, for eighth graders. The schools individual hours were a total of 

33,138. Some of these hours are reflective of a number of SSA 

students going above and beyond the required 20 hours a year to 

serve the community with over 100 individual hours. 

Starting with the 2008 senior class, those accumulating 100-199 service 

hours were: Marybelle Bates, Mollie Burke, Emily Caffarel, Leah Clanton, 

Bianca Day, Lauren Fereday, Chantelle Ferrari, and Erin Loveland. 

Seniors with 200-400 service hours are: Megan McCarty and 

Amberlee Roaden. Jade Younger completed 500.5 service hours. 

Junior class with 100-199 service hours were: Sara Broussard, Gabrielle 

Campo, Michelle Duplantier, Shelby Fritscher, Michelle Hahn, Elizabeth 

Nuss, Caitlin Parker, LeeAnn Prisk, Corinne Rapier, Joanna Thomas, and 

Jennifer Weintritt. Juniors with 200-299 service hours are: Lisa Brady, 

Alexis Bruning, Melissa Fairbank, Molly Molloy Gambel, Margaret 

Ganucheau, Kathleen Harmon, Danielle LeBlanc, Casey Ragan, Cali 

Spell, Sarah Thompson, and Charlotte Voelkel. Juniors having 300-399 

hours are: Caroline Barousse, Jenny Bravo, Jennifer Drivon, and Kaitlyn 

Ladner. Ellie Dorsey and Caroline Knight each finished with 400 service 

hours and Eden Johnson finished with 434. Ann Terral completed 616 

service hours and Allison Cobb accomplished 672 service hours. 

Sophomore class with 100-199 service hours are: Alexandra Bruner, 

Victoria Ellinghausen, Christina Grishman, Nicole Klibert, Ellen 

Rosenow, Karen Rosenow, Alix St. Pe’, Camille Shepherd, Lindsey Silva, 

Margaret Stewart, Kelsey Stritzinger, Mary Talley, and Mallory 

Wainwright. Anna Parsons accomplished 248 hours and Sarah Landry 

completed the year with 450 service hours. 

The freshmen with 100-199 service hours are: Emily Bennett, Katie 

Bergeron, Caitlin Canatella, Cheryl Cole, Madeline Forstall, Hannah 

Langston, and Alicia Nuccio. Arlette Lauber completed 304.5 service 

hours. 

Eighth graders with 100-199 service hours are: Monica Bravo, Caroline 

Brown, Sarah Parker, McKenzie Scott, Morgan Silva, Lucile Smart, and 

Taylor Stewart. 

In addition various SSA clubs performed service over and above the 

required service hours. The Marian Ministry hosts a Christmas party for 

Alpha House. Key Club holds Christmas and Easter parties for Head 

Start in Covington. Local nursing homes benefited from service 

performed by the SSA Cheerleaders, the choirs, and the Spanish Club, 

who spoke with the bi-lingual residents. Twenty student ministers 

gutted homes in St. Bernard and New Orleans.

The celebration of St. Scholastica’s Feast Day in February 2008 began with a Mass officiated by Abbot Justin Brown, O.S.B. 

The classes of 1958 (50 years) and 1983 (25 years) were honored at this special event. After Mass, 137 eighth graders were 

formally inducted into the SSA family. 

Principal Mary Kathryn Villere impressed upon the eighth graders the significance of their induction into the Academy. Villere 

stated, “Being a member of this Academy affords you certain opportunities. It allows you to learn a mode of living (the pillars 

of Benedictine spirituality) that, if followed, will support you in making life choices throughout your lives.” Each of the eighth 

graders received the SSA pin in honor of their induction to SSA 

The senior “big sisters” pinned their eighth grade “little sisters” and then formed an Honor Guard holding pink carnations, 

which were given to the eighth graders as they processed through the line. 

Part of the Feast Day celebration was a luncheon organized by the SSA Parent Club and held in the cafeteria. The co-chairs 

of the luncheon were Julie Authement, Rebecca Cole, Karen Saltalamacchia, and Cindy Smith. The decorations chair Paulette 

Crawford transformed the cafeteria into a Night at the Academy Awards where everyone was a shining star. The banners and 

tables were decorated in black and white with an official red carpet entrance. There were candid pictures of students on the 

bulletin boards as “SSA Shining Stars”. The cafeteria staff prepared a delicious meal and the SSA moms served lunch to the 

honored alumnae, students, teachers and staff. 

St. Scholastica lived in the fifth century and with her brother St. Benedict founded two religious orders for men and women. 

The school has a special saying about their patron, “St. Scholastica could do more because she loved more.”

Eight St. Scholastica Academy students received partial SSA tuition-based scholarships at an Awards Assembly held on May 22, 2008. 

Principal Mary Kathryn Villere announced the special awards while Jennifer Grimley, Dean of Academics, assisted in the distribution 

of certificates. 

Abigail Heap received the Cheryl 

Smith Scholarship. This is given in 

memory of Cheryl Smith, a 1980 

SSA graduate, to a current SSA 8th 

grader who exemplifies spirit, 

leadership, and service to others. 

Melissa Fairbank received the 

Hillary Lanaux Greve Memorial 

Endowed Scholarship for 

leadership and devotion to her 

school. Greve, a 1999 SSA 

graduate, died from a rare type of 

cancer on January 28, 2001. 

Through the diligent efforts of the 

HLG committee, the funds were 

raised for an endowed scholarship 

in Greve’s memory. 

Michelle Duplantier was awarded 

the Emile Navarre Scholarship. This 

award is given to a student that 

represents qualities of scholarship, 

ambition and devotion that make 

her an asset to SSA. The family of 

the late Emile Navarre continues 

the scholarship established by 

Navarre. 

Shelby Fritscher was awarded 

the Benedictine Sisters 

Memorial Scholarship. This was 

originally funded by donations 

for scholarships in honor of 

Sister Eugenia Simoneaux, 

OSB, and Sister Jeanne d’Arc 

Kernion, OSB, two who served 

as administrators of the 

Academy. It is maintained as a 

lasting memorial to the 

Benedictine Sisters’ belief in, 

contribution to, and hope for 

their vision of Catholic education, which they gave to and 

named St. Scholastica Academy. This scholarship is awarded 

annually at the end of the school year to a junior who through 

her respect for others, involvement in school life, and concern 

for her studies, shows a belief in and appreciation for all that 

the Academy embodies. 

Jennifer Drivon received the 

Pure Dove Scholarship. This 

scholarship is offered by 

Memorare Ministries and Kara 

Klein Productions. The $500 

scholarship is awarded to a 

SSA junior who strives to live a 

life of chastity and other 

Christian values. She must seek 

the Lord and live her life with 

God at the center. Klein is a 

2004 SSA alumna. Her father, 

Bernie Klein, presented the 

award. 

Caroline Barousse received the St. Scholastica Academy Alumnae 

Association Endowed Scholarship. The SSA Alumnae realized a 

need to extend their school spirit and the wonderful academics 

and experiences they received at their alma mater to a deserving 

student. The other component of the scholarship is to enhance 

the rich legacy of a generational connection through family 

members attending SSA. Barousse’s legacy is her mom, Melody 

Eustis Barousse ’78, sister, Katie Barousse 2006, aunts, Lizby Eustis 

’76 and Candy Eustis Modeen ’82 and cousin Polly Eustis Burrall 

’00. 


Molly Molloy Gambel received the 

Marguerite S. Celestin Scholarship 

for her strong academics, 

involvement in school activities, and 

generosity of spirit, friendliness, and 

love of SSA. In 2005, in recognition 

of her 25 years of service as 

principal of St. Scholastica Academy, 

the Parent Club honored 

Marguerite Celestin by creating an 

endowed scholarship in her name 

to be given to a junior. Celestin now 

serves as President of SSA.

I wanted to let the administration at SSA know how 

pleased I have been with Madeline’s first half of the 2008- 

09 school year. In particular I would like for you all to 

know how thankful I am that Madeline was fortunate 

enough to have Mrs. Schaff as her English I teacher. Mrs. 

Schaff has prepared Maddie in a way that no other teacher 

has up to this point. She is absolutely phenomenal! You 

all are truly blessed to have a teacher who holds high 

expectations of her student and works tirelessly to get them 

to rise to the occasion (learning).

Letter From the 

School Board 

Chair 

Cindy Harlan 

In August 2007 St. Scholastica Academy unveiled its 2007- 

2012 strategic plan, Innovation, Purpose and Promise, with 

strategies to advance quality in all areas. The plan is an 

important milestone in the future of the school. It is a 

living document which defines our school’s goals and 

objectives and provides the basis for continuous 

improvement. 

The Academy is committed to meeting the measurable 

objectives of the plan. Realizing each of these goals 

depends upon effective strategy execution. The SSA 

community is making good progress in each of the areas 

and continues to move forward with implementation of the 

plan. I commend the administration, faculty, staff, alumnae, 

students, parents and friends of SSA for their thorough and 

collaborative efforts to the future that we have planned for 

ourselves. 

All of us have a vested interest in SSA and in its future. 

With the creation of the strategies and determination to 

accomplish the goals over the plan’s five year timeline, 

funding is essential to advance the ambitious plan to make 

SSA the best school in the Gulf South. To turn the vision 

into action, the Annual Giving Fund, Keep the Promise, was 

reinstituted in 2007-08. It will continue each year to benefit 

our young women of today and tomorrow. I would like to 

thank you for your generosity and support of the 2007-08 

Annual Giving campaign and your continual support in the 

years to come. 

An enormous thank you to our many volunteers. I have 

been able to witness firsthand the hard work, energy and 

dedication of our volunteers. We appreciate your time and 

talent. Your commitment to the Academy will help us 

continue to succeed. I invite all of you to become involved 

in the life of SSA and in its many activities. 

Lastly, I would like to thank the administration, faculty and 

staff for their dedication. Their commitment to be part of 

our daughters’ lives is a gift that will last a lifetime 

. 

This has been a good year for SSA and our students. Thank 

you for your support. Let’s continue to work together to 

preserve SSA’s legacy and to enhance its future.
