S<br />
o much has happened since I wrote<br />
my last article for Wings. (It seems I<br />
started my last one <strong>of</strong>f in the same<br />
way after Katrina). As many <strong>of</strong> you<br />
know, in September I was diagnosed with a<br />
skull-based tumor. After a very risky but<br />
successful surgery in early October at the<br />
University <strong>of</strong> Arkansas Medical Sciences<br />
Hospital in Little Rock, the tumor was<br />
determined to be a malignant chordoma.<br />
Without radiation it had a 95% probability<br />
<strong>of</strong> re-growing. Therefore, I am currently at<br />
the Loma Linda (California) University<br />
Medical Center undergoing Proton Beam<br />
Radiation Therapy which carries with it an<br />
85% success rate. I will be here for two<br />
months, returning to Covington in mid to<br />
late March.<br />
I have learned so much from the past<br />
few months and I am sure this is just the<br />
beginning. First <strong>of</strong> all, I think this shows us<br />
that we are truly not in charge <strong>of</strong> our lives.<br />
I remember Father Beau Charbonnet saying<br />
in one <strong>of</strong> his homilies around the time <strong>of</strong><br />
Katrina: “God is in charge!” So much<br />
happens in our lives over which we have no<br />
control, and yet we can control how we<br />
respond to the situations in which we find<br />
ourselves.<br />
I know that prayer and faith are so<br />
powerful. When coupled with the force<br />
<strong>of</strong> the SSA community, that power is<br />
strengthened a hundredfold. I have been<br />
overwhelmed and humbled by the<br />
incredible support <strong>of</strong> prayer and <strong>of</strong>fers <strong>of</strong><br />
assistance I have received from the SSA<br />
community, friends and family. During<br />
these last months I have been immersed in<br />
a different world than I normally live in.<br />
I have been exposed to the world <strong>of</strong><br />
sickness and life-threatening situations,<br />
where people, in far more dire straights<br />
than I, are confronted with the stark<br />
realization that time is at a premium. It is<br />
out <strong>of</strong> this setting that I am deeply grateful<br />
for how far medicine and treatment have<br />
come and yet am also aware that each <strong>of</strong><br />
us has only a finite amount <strong>of</strong> time. I<br />
know that not all prayers are answered<br />
by successful surgeries and successful<br />
treatments. God answers some prayers in<br />
ways we humans may not understand, but<br />
in ways that may be “best” for us in His<br />
eyes and in ways that bring us closer to<br />
Him in the long run. I have become aware<br />
Letter<br />
FROM THE PRESIDENT’S PEN<br />
Marguerite S. Celestin<br />
<strong>of</strong> how many lonely people there are<br />
who are suffering alone, without the<br />
companionship <strong>of</strong> friends and family. I<br />
met people in Arkansas and here in<br />
California who must go through treatment<br />
by themselves and who do not have<br />
anyone to share their pain, to listen to<br />
them, attend to their needs, and to pray for<br />
them on a daily basis like I have.<br />
We emphasize to our students all the time<br />
how valuable the aspect <strong>of</strong> Sisterhood is in<br />
their lives. This bond that ties us to each<br />
other, to all those we meet in our lives,<br />
to our families and extended families<br />
receives its “glue” from the love and<br />
presence <strong>of</strong> God who calls us into His<br />
care. Through this bond we are able to be<br />
the extension <strong>of</strong> God’s hands to each other.<br />
I strongly encourage each <strong>of</strong> you to reach<br />
out to one another. We never know when<br />
someone may need a helping hand, a<br />
supportive, encouraging hug. I pray that<br />
each <strong>of</strong> you can strengthen your own<br />
prayer life and your relationship with<br />
God, that prayer will be a daily, hourly<br />
conversation with the Lord. And I ask you<br />
to join me in praying not only for those on<br />
your personal prayer list, but for those who<br />
most need our prayers, those who do not<br />
have anyone else to pray for them, those<br />
who have not even experienced the<br />
power <strong>of</strong> prayer. When we move out <strong>of</strong> the<br />
“me” world into the “other” world we<br />
can answer the question “Am I my<br />
sister’s/brother’s keeper?” with a strong<br />
YES! We then receive our strength and our<br />
meaning in life from the fact that we are all<br />
one in the Body <strong>of</strong> Christ.<br />
During these last few months many people<br />
have made it possible for me to take care<br />
<strong>of</strong> my health. I am deeply grateful for the<br />
support and prayers <strong>of</strong> so many. I have<br />
been gratified by the many notes <strong>of</strong><br />
concern and compassion from so many<br />
students, alumnae, parents <strong>of</strong> alumnae and<br />
friends in the community. Each <strong>of</strong> you is<br />
very important to me.<br />
I am also deeply grateful for the SSA<br />
administration, faculty, and staff who have<br />
picked up many pieces that were left<br />
hanging in my absence. I also want to<br />
recognize members <strong>of</strong> the School Board<br />
who have doubled their efforts to complete<br />
the projects at hand. We are so blessed to<br />
have such talented, generous, people who<br />
work so well together and who do not count<br />
the cost to get the job done.<br />
Groundbreaking for our chapel will take<br />
place in the next few months. We are<br />
grateful to Michael Holly <strong>of</strong> the architectural<br />
firm <strong>of</strong> Holly and Smith <strong>of</strong> Hammond<br />
who has designed a chapel fitting for God’s<br />
presence and the tradition and future <strong>of</strong> our<br />
school. This chapel will put our faith and<br />
prayer life as the centerpiece <strong>of</strong> our school’s<br />
campus. You can be a part <strong>of</strong> helping us<br />
realize this dream by giving to the Chapel<br />
Fund. Contact Elaine Simmons for details.<br />
<strong>Our</strong> <strong>St</strong>rategic Planning process is continuing<br />
to evolve. Numerous members <strong>of</strong> our<br />
community are giving generously <strong>of</strong> their<br />
time and efforts to craft strategies and<br />
initiatives that will take us to another level<br />
<strong>of</strong> education at SSA. It may seem that this<br />
is taking longer than expected; perhaps,<br />
but it is because this is not just an effort<br />
that “skims the surface” but one that is<br />
looking at a wide and deep set <strong>of</strong> proposed<br />
action plans. I ask that you keep this<br />
process in your prayers that we devise<br />
a plan that is meaningful and “futureoriented”,<br />
providing the best for our<br />
students. Many <strong>of</strong> the strategies call for<br />
additional funding if they are to be<br />
accomplished. This funding is not currently<br />
available in our operating budget nor in<br />
our current Centennial Fund. We will<br />
look to the generosity <strong>of</strong> the entire SSA<br />
community, present, past, and future to<br />
realize our goals.<br />
My years at SSA have taught me that many<br />
people believe strongly in the mission and<br />
vision <strong>of</strong> SSA. We have always seen people<br />
step up to the platform <strong>of</strong> leadership, to<br />
“rise to the occasion” to help SSA go<br />
places where it had not yet been. Where we<br />
are today is because <strong>of</strong> the generosity <strong>of</strong><br />
those who have gone before. For us to<br />
implement our future plans we need more<br />
and more individuals to become involved in<br />
a meaningful way. Your talents and efforts<br />
will be rewarded by a spirit <strong>of</strong> accomplishment<br />
and the fact that you have made a difference<br />
in the lives <strong>of</strong> many young women.<br />
I have always believed that my work in education<br />
is not just a job, but a ministry. In<br />
these last few months I have been given a<br />
new lease on life, which also comes with<br />
great responsibility. I believe that God has a<br />
lot more work for me to accomplish and I<br />
pray that I will be open to wherever He<br />
leads me. Great things are on the horizon<br />
for SSA. Let’s go there together!! May God<br />
bless you and may He hold you in the palm<br />
<strong>of</strong> His hand.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Marguerite S. Celestin<br />
President<br />

Letter<br />
FROM<br />
THE PRINCIPAL’S PEN<br />
Mary Kathryn Villere<br />
U<br />
sually in my article for Wings, I would draw your attention to the accomplishments <strong>of</strong> our students at<br />
this point in the school year. I recognized, however, that the girls’ achievements have been highlighted<br />
throughout this Wings issue. I certainly applaud them and suggest to you that your “SSA sisters” are<br />
upholding the legacy left by you as alums and by every faculty member and administrator who have graced these<br />
hallowed grounds <strong>of</strong> our campus throughout the years, as well as those currently ministering to the girls.<br />
It is perhaps appropriate then to speak about the foundation, which has enabled the girls to reach their goals and<br />
achieve so many honors and accomplishments in the name <strong>of</strong> <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Scholastica</strong> Academy. That foundation obviously<br />
is the heritage <strong>of</strong> our Benedictine spirituality first taught to us by the Benedictine sisters, who founded this academy<br />
– prayer, work, study, and community with balance in all.<br />
• We pray as if everything depends on God.<br />
• We study to attain wisdom<br />
• We serve by being with others and for others in community<br />
• We work by growing and discovering who we are especially as children <strong>of</strong> God<br />
In reading this issue <strong>of</strong> Wings, I would like to suggest that you read about the students’ achievements noting that all<br />
<strong>of</strong> them fit into these four components <strong>of</strong> Benedictine spirituality quite well. It is the mission <strong>of</strong> this school that the<br />
girls learn to live their lives according to this legacy <strong>of</strong> prayer, work, study, and community beginning with their SSA<br />
journey and lasting within them for their lifetime. Make SSA a place where “sisters” can make memories that will<br />
last a lifetime.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Mary Kathryn Villere<br />

Seniors Celebrate<br />
RING MASS & RING DAY<br />
T<br />
he <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Scholastica</strong> Academy Class<br />
<strong>of</strong> 2007, the 104th class <strong>of</strong> SSA,<br />
received their traditional senior rings<br />
at a special Ring Mass at Mary Queen <strong>of</strong><br />
Peace Church on August 31. The Mass,<br />
celebrated by Msgr. William Bilinsky with<br />
Assisting Deacon, Harold J. Burke, was<br />
attended by the SSA senior class, their<br />
families and friends, and the SSA faculty.<br />
The seniors received their coveted senior<br />
class rings symbolizing their memories at<br />
SSA, the traditions they hold dear, and the<br />
many women who have gone before them<br />
and those who will follow.<br />

Mass at Mary<br />
Queen <strong>of</strong> Peace<br />
Church.<br />
Under the direction <strong>of</strong> SSA’s music director,<br />
Sharon Scharmer, the SSA advanced choir<br />
performed during the ceremony.<br />
The seniors continued their celebration<br />
the next day at “Ring Day”. As they made<br />
the traditional procession through the<br />
front gates <strong>of</strong> the Academy, each senior was<br />
met by her eighth grade little sister who<br />
presented her with a rose. The seniors gave<br />
SSA alumna<br />
Mary Pechon<br />
Robin ‘76<br />
addresses the<br />
seniors reflecting<br />
on her memories<br />
at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Scholastica</strong><br />
during the Ring<br />
Mass ceremony.<br />
each <strong>of</strong> their little sisters a white ribbon in<br />
anticipation <strong>of</strong> her senior ring and a card<br />
with the senior class motto: “Yesterday<br />
brought the beginning, tomorrow brings<br />
the end, but somewhere in the middle, we<br />
became the best <strong>of</strong> friends.” The seniors<br />
filed into the gym where the rest <strong>of</strong> the<br />
SSA students, along with the faculty, staff,<br />
and parents, were waiting. SSA Principal<br />
Mary Kathryn Villere gave the welcome<br />
address, and senior class secretary Emily<br />
Rodriguez led the assembly in the opening<br />
prayer. Math teacher and co-senior<br />
moderator Sybil Roussell read the<br />
scripture reading from the Gospel <strong>of</strong> John,<br />
while English teacher and co-senior<br />
moderator Patrice Cedor gave a reflection<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Gospel reading telling the seniors<br />
that if they follow the example <strong>of</strong> <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Scholastica</strong>, the patroness <strong>of</strong> SSA, they<br />
will be able to do more because they loved<br />
more.<br />
Senior class vice president Aubrey Rector<br />
gave an explanation <strong>of</strong> the history and<br />
symbolism <strong>of</strong> the SSA class ring. She<br />
The SSA Class <strong>of</strong> 2007 senior rings.<br />
shared the significance <strong>of</strong> each detail on<br />
the ring. Several <strong>of</strong> the SSA seniors have<br />
mothers who also attended the Academy.<br />
Five <strong>of</strong> these alumnae moms shared their<br />
experiences <strong>of</strong> SSA and the importance <strong>of</strong><br />
their own senior rings. They shared the<br />
similarities and differences <strong>of</strong> SSA now<br />
to their own years at SSA as well as the<br />
special place they each hold in their hearts<br />
for their memories <strong>of</strong> the Academy. The<br />
alumnae moms who shared their stories<br />
were Gina Bechac ’88, mother <strong>of</strong> Rebecca<br />
Bechac; Donna Perrone Blossman ’79,<br />
mother <strong>of</strong> Lauren Blossman; Kellie Ory<br />
Gagliano ’82, mother <strong>of</strong> Zetta Gagliano;<br />
Mary Pechon Robin ’76, mother <strong>of</strong> Caity<br />
Robin; and Desirée Taylor Billeaud ’76,<br />
mother <strong>of</strong> Cace Billeaud.<br />
Senior class president Afton Zaunbrecher<br />
shared her memories <strong>of</strong> ring days from<br />
grades 8-12. She imparted the changing<br />
significance each ring day had for her,<br />
including being part <strong>of</strong> the ceremony as a<br />
little sister, watching her friends and<br />
classmates receive their rings, and finally<br />
being part <strong>of</strong> her own ring ceremony. SSA<br />
President Marguerite Celestin invoked the<br />
closing blessing for the seniors after which<br />
the choir closed the ceremony with the<br />
SSA Alma Mater. The seniors and parents<br />
were invited to a special reception hosted<br />
by the sophomore class in the cafeteria.<br />

SSA Honors<br />
Veterans<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Scholastica</strong> Academy honors Veterans<br />
on November 13.<br />
Clarence Saltalmachia, SSA staff<br />
member and Army Veteran, receives over<br />
700 notes <strong>of</strong> gratitude from SSA students<br />
presented by the Captain <strong>of</strong> the Color<br />
Guard, Brittany Gondolfi, President <strong>of</strong><br />
Tri-Hi-Y Cace Billeaud, and Veterans<br />
Day Chair, Alyssa Fontana. Color<br />
Guard member, Melissa Landry,<br />

“guarding” the names <strong>of</strong> veterans.<br />
On November 13 <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Scholastica</strong> Academy<br />
students honored our country’s veterans on<br />
Veterans Day. SSA’s Color Guard and<br />
Tri-Hi-Y clubs sponsored the activities <strong>of</strong><br />
the day. They collected names <strong>of</strong> any SSA<br />
student, teacher or staff member who has a<br />
current duty or veteran family member. For<br />
each service member name submitted, a<br />
“Blue <strong>St</strong>ar Service Flag” was created with<br />
that person’s name and their relationship to<br />
8 D O V E W I N G S<br />
the SSA person on it. These flags were<br />
attached to the Honor Wall, along with the<br />
service flags <strong>of</strong> the Army, Navy, Air Force,<br />
Marines, Coast Guard and Merchant<br />
Marines. Taking 40 minute shifts, Honor<br />
Guard members kept a day long “vigil”<br />
guarding the names. This was a symbolic<br />
gesture to draw attention to the veteran’s<br />
sacrifice and honor and their commitment<br />
to our country.<br />

SSA during<br />
Veterans Day.<br />
SSA students and <strong>of</strong>ficers <strong>of</strong> the Tri-Hi-Y<br />
club, Cace Billeaud and Alyssa Fontana,<br />
wanted a way for the student body to feel<br />
connected to the veterans. They choose<br />
to honor one <strong>of</strong> SSA’s own, Clarence<br />
Saltalmachia, who served in the Army<br />
during the Vietnam War. Billeaud and<br />
Fontana helped organize an effort where<br />
the SSA campus ministers visited each<br />
homeroom and told <strong>of</strong> Saltalmachia’s<br />
service to the United <strong>St</strong>ates and asked each<br />
student to write a personal note <strong>of</strong> thanks to<br />
him. Over 700 notes were collected from<br />
the students to express their gratitude for his<br />
service to our country. During lunch the<br />
Captain <strong>of</strong> the Color Guard, Brittany<br />
Gondolfi, President <strong>of</strong> Tri-Hi-Y, Cace<br />

KATRINA<br />
Prayer Service<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Scholastica</strong> Academy held a prayer<br />
service on August 29, the one-year<br />
anniversary <strong>of</strong> Hurricane Katrina, to<br />
remember the devastation caused by the<br />
terrible storm. The entire SSA student<br />
body, faculty, and staff prayed together to<br />
honor all <strong>of</strong> the heroes, victims, and<br />
displaced families from Katrina. SSA<br />
junior Chelsea Gandolfi led the opening<br />
prayer and was the presider <strong>of</strong> the Prayers<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Faithful. Catherine Schroeder, an<br />
eighth-grader, read her composition, which<br />
was the winning essay from <strong>St</strong>. Tammany<br />
Parish <strong>of</strong> WWL-TV’s Hurricane Katrina<br />
essay contest. Her narrative described her<br />
experiences and those <strong>of</strong> her family during<br />
the storm and her blessings after the<br />
hurricane. SSA senior Brittany Decareaux<br />
then gave an emotional tribute to her father,<br />
David Decareaux, for his bravery during<br />
the difficult days after the storm.<br />
Decareaux is a Fireman/EMT with the New<br />
Orleans Fire Department and was one <strong>of</strong><br />
the first responders to New Orleans right<br />
after the storm. Brittany described her<br />
worry for her father’s safety and her pride<br />
<strong>of</strong> his heroism. <strong>St</strong>udents Samantha Bopp<br />
and Elise Taylor also described their once<br />
in a lifetime experiences because <strong>of</strong> the<br />
hurricane and how Hurricane Katrina has<br />
touched their lives. The Prayers <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Faithful were given by Sarah Gaudet,<br />
Lauren Fereday, Margaret Kidd, Nicole<br />
Robles and Sarah Broussard. Principal<br />
Mary Kathryn Villere thanked the SSA<br />
religion teachers Amanda Schneidau,<br />
Barbara Link, and Bonnie Paille for<br />
organizing the prayer service. Villere<br />
reminded the students that they can all<br />
“continue to make a difference in the<br />
recovery effort in our community.”<br />

<strong>of</strong> the 2006 WWL-TV Katrina Essay Contest, is<br />

GET CONNECTED!!<br />
Keeping in touch with classmates at social, religious, and<br />
educational events held at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Scholastica</strong> Academy not only<br />
renews old ties but opens the door to new friendships as well.<br />
Class reunions every five years provide periodic social<br />
events for renewing friendships. Through the SSA Alumnae<br />
Association, there are also opportunities for you to be active<br />
with other alums. You might consider serving on the<br />
Alumnae Association as a class representative or event committees.<br />
Other opportunities include planning your next<br />
reunion or volunteering in the Advancement Office. Also<br />
consider where you can interact with our students: Career<br />
Day, Alum Treat Day, or Alumnae Breakfast for the Senior<br />
Class.<br />
The Wings magazine, published three times a year, brings<br />
you news about life at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Scholastica</strong> Academy. As you read<br />
through these pages, it is our hope that you will reconnect<br />
with your favorite memories. Perhaps, you will decide to<br />
contact a former friend or teacher, attend a scheduled<br />
school/alumnae event, send us a message about yourself or<br />
drop by for a visit. We consider it a privilege to work on the<br />
Wings magazine. It is the school’s gift to you as one <strong>of</strong> our<br />
valued members <strong>of</strong> the SSA family.<br />
<strong>Our</strong> graduates are <strong>of</strong>fered many opportunities to stay connected<br />
with SSA through the Alumnae Association, the<br />
Wings magazine, and events scheduled in and out <strong>of</strong> school.<br />
You can help us by being sure that we always have your current<br />
address, phone number and e-mail address.<br />
And so, when alumnae think <strong>of</strong> SSA, it is important that we<br />
think not only <strong>of</strong> the past but also <strong>of</strong> the present and the<br />
future. One way to provide for a strong Alumnae Association<br />
both today and tomorrow is for each alumna to pay their<br />
Association dues. The SSA Alumnae Association is here to<br />
represent you.<br />
Association Dues are: Blue and White - $10/year,<br />
<strong>Dove</strong>s - $25/3 years, and Wings - $100/Lifetime.<br />
Funds raised through the Alumnae Association Dues are<br />
used solely to fund alumnae services and programming.<br />
They help defray the costs <strong>of</strong> printing, postage, supplies,<br />
equipment, s<strong>of</strong>tware, maintenance and other related costs <strong>of</strong><br />
running the Association and their events.<br />
Your continued support <strong>of</strong> the Alumnae Association is<br />
deeply appreciated.<br />
We thank you…for sending your Dues!<br />
So don’t forget to “Due” It, if you haven’t yet!<br />

huge success for many children, especially when Santa Claus came for a visit.<br />
There was live interactive music, three spacewalks, assorted holiday crafts<br />
and a Cajun Christmas reading by Mrs. Claus. Families were also treated to<br />
great food and holiday treats.<br />

Praying<br />
IN COLORS<br />
Praying In Pink!<br />
SSA staff member Tara Huguet with her mother, Sandra<br />
Bryars are overwhelmed with emotion as the entire SSA<br />
community prays for Tara before her surgery<br />
A group <strong>of</strong> family and friends got together to form Team Tara and all participated in the<br />
“Race for Cure” at City Park on October 1.<br />
L-R: Front row: Arleen Bennett, Jennifer Couret, Katherine Couret holding Jack Bertucci,<br />

On October 4, 2006 the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Scholastica</strong><br />
Academy community once again gathered<br />
around Mother Mary at the Grotto all dressed<br />
in BLUE and prayed the rosary for Marguerite<br />
Celestin, President <strong>of</strong> SSA. That day Ms.<br />
Celestin underwent major surgery in Arkansas<br />
to remove a skull-based tumor. Because <strong>of</strong> the<br />
great power <strong>of</strong> prayer, thankfully her surgery<br />
was a success. Ms. Celestin continues to do<br />
well but still has a difficult journey ahead with<br />
radiation treatments. She surprised all <strong>of</strong> the<br />
students and faculty by attending the All Saints<br />
Day Mass on November 1. After the mass, she<br />
thanked everyone for their prayers and support.<br />
Ms. Celestin commented “I have never really<br />
known the true power <strong>of</strong> prayer until recently<br />
and I am so grateful for all <strong>of</strong> your love,<br />
prayers, and support”. She encouraged the<br />
students to wake up everyday with prayer and<br />
continue praying throughout the day.<br />
Marguerite’s strong faith has been an<br />
inspiration to the entire community. We also<br />
ask that you continue to pray for Marguerite<br />
and Richard in this difficult time.<br />
On September 14, 2006 the SSA students, faculty,<br />
and administration dressed in PINK and gathered<br />
together around the grotto and prayed the rosary for<br />
a very special person, Tara Huguet. Tara has worked<br />
in the grey house as one <strong>of</strong> the Advancement<br />
Associates for six years and her lovely daughter,<br />
Brittany, graduated from SSA in 2005. Tara was<br />
diagnosed with breast cancer this past summer. She<br />
underwent surgery and is currently going through<br />
chemotherapy. On the day <strong>of</strong> Tara’s surgery, not<br />
only did SSA’s community gather around the grotto<br />
in prayer, but they also took an opportunity to<br />
educate the student’s about breast cancer throughout<br />
the day.<br />
A group <strong>of</strong> family and friends organized a “Team<br />
Tara” to participate in the New Orleans “Race for<br />
Cure” at City Park on October 1, all proceeds<br />
benefiting breast cancer research. Two <strong>of</strong> the team<br />
members, Heather Klechak and Ned Couret won<br />
medals as two <strong>of</strong> the first 100 people to cross the<br />
finish line. Tara is an inspiration to all <strong>of</strong> us. With<br />
her positive attitude and great faith, she continues to<br />
do well. She is already back at SSA on a part time<br />
basis and looks great! Please continue your prayers<br />
for Tara and her family.<br />
Praying In Blue!<br />
The SSA Community, all dressed in blue, came together to pray the rosary on Marguerite’s surgery day.<br />

Marguerite S. Celestin<br />
Joanna Brandt Case ‘90<br />
PILLAR OF STRENGTH<br />
Anyone who has been acquainted with<br />
Marguerite Celestin during her years at SSA<br />
perceives her as an embodiment <strong>of</strong> the<br />
strength, wisdom, and stability that has<br />
perpetuated the school for so many years.<br />
The strength <strong>of</strong> her presence may intimidate<br />
some at first, but anyone who has taken the<br />
time to know Mrs. Celestin, or Marguerite,<br />
or even Margie, realizes the warmth that lies<br />
within. A humble and behind-the-scenes<br />
person, Marguerite possesses personal<br />
qualities that have influenced a generation<br />
<strong>of</strong> SSA students.<br />
One noteworthy attribute is Marguerite’s<br />
eloquence. As an administrator she is called<br />
upon to address large groups, sometimes<br />
impromptu, and she succeeds in engaging<br />
and inspiring her listeners. At times <strong>of</strong><br />
tragedy or turmoil what she needs to say is<br />
not easy, but whether addressing a group or<br />
an individual “she can calm those around<br />
her with her words <strong>of</strong> wisdom and sense <strong>of</strong><br />
faith,” says Dean <strong>of</strong> Academics Jennifer<br />
Grimley. “Her words . . . give meaning to<br />
those who lack meaning and direction in<br />
their lives.”<br />
Marguerite’s actions speak <strong>of</strong> her<br />
commitment to the SSA community as<br />
well. She has led hundreds <strong>of</strong> girls through<br />
the Academy yet remembers key details to<br />
show them personal attention. Graduate<br />
and current teacher Jennifer Miguez<br />
recalls: “Every time I sang at a mass or<br />
prayer service she would tell me I did a<br />
good job when she saw me.” “She always<br />
brightened my life with her warm heart,<br />
unconditional support, and admirable<br />
optimism,” Class <strong>of</strong> 2006 Co-Valedictorian<br />
Katie Read remembers. Her contagious<br />
optimism and energy motivates; like <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Scholastica</strong>, she can do more, because she<br />
loves more. “She epitomizes all that SSA<br />
trains young girls to be . . . a smart, poised,<br />
and independent woman,” summarizes<br />
Senior Melissa Landry. Imagine an<br />
unmarried young woman taking the reins<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Academy during the early 80’s,<br />
seeing it through the region’s economic<br />
crisis <strong>of</strong> the late 80’s, establishing a vision<br />
for the school’s future, and carrying<br />
this vision into the “next century <strong>of</strong><br />
sisterhood.” In short, she gets things done.<br />
She also loves what she does and has a<br />
sense <strong>of</strong> humor about it. One year<br />
she allowed the Seniors to trade places<br />
with faculty and administration for the<br />
day, complete with the <strong>St</strong>udent Council<br />
President’s premature end <strong>of</strong> day dismissal<br />
announcement.<br />
Marguerite’s unwavering faith in God<br />
underlies all that she does. “Marguerite’s<br />
faith is not only an inspiration to others, it’s<br />
catching. You can’t help but strengthen your<br />
belief when you hear her speak about her<br />
own. This latest trial she’s been struggling<br />
with is just another testament to her<br />
amazing trust in God,” reflects Jennifer<br />
Miguez. Marguerite’s spirituality seems so<br />
natural because she truly lives her faith;<br />
Katie Read remarks that she conveys “the<br />
importance <strong>of</strong> prayer for oneself and for<br />
others, the importance <strong>of</strong> creating a feeling<br />
<strong>of</strong> community both on and <strong>of</strong>f campus,”<br />
which further supports the four pillars.<br />
Whether she’s advancing the mission <strong>of</strong><br />
the Academy or facing an illness <strong>of</strong> her own,<br />
Marguerite inspires others to persevere in<br />
their own battles. Through her courage and<br />
determination she strives for excellence and<br />
achieves success. A true leader, she is able<br />
to evoke these traits in others so that they<br />
are capable <strong>of</strong> continuing her legacy.<br />

WOMAN OF COURAGE<br />
By: Mary Kathryn Villere<br />
Marguerite S. Celestin began as principal <strong>of</strong> <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Scholastica</strong> Academy in<br />
1979. For the past three years she has been president <strong>of</strong> the Academy.<br />
Under her direction, the school received its first SACS accreditation and<br />
became a Blue Ribbon School <strong>of</strong> Excellence, shortly thereafter.<br />
Marguerite initiated the concept <strong>of</strong> strategic planning at SSA in 1992.<br />
Since then the school has completed two plans and is currently finishing<br />
its third plan. Each plan is a vision for the next five years with respect to<br />
the direction <strong>of</strong> every aspect <strong>of</strong> the total school program.<br />
Marguerite is responsible for research into and implementation <strong>of</strong> the 4 x<br />
4 block schedule. As a result <strong>of</strong> implementing this innovative schedule,<br />
our students are able to take more required courses as well as electives,<br />
graduating with 36 credits instead <strong>of</strong> 32. Alumnae return to us to let<br />
us know how much being on the 4 x 4 has prepared them for the college<br />
experience, both because <strong>of</strong> the [compressed course time] as well as the<br />
expanded elective program.<br />
During Marguerite’s tenure as head <strong>of</strong> SSA, two brand new state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art<br />
classroom buildings have been built with a science wing in one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
buildings. A master site plan has been developed, giving direction to the<br />
building program. Ground breaking for a new chapel will begin this<br />
school year, giving rise to a dream <strong>of</strong> Marguerite’s <strong>of</strong> many, many years.<br />
Two new classroom/administrative buildings, replacing the 20’s, 30’s, and<br />
the old science labs are on the horizon to give the students <strong>of</strong> today a<br />
facility that will be second to none. It is amazing that a school once<br />
threatened with closure having only 180 students would become one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
premier educational institutions for young women in this region. The<br />
school’s ability to remain open is directly due to Marguerite Celestin – her<br />
tenacity in her belief that <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Scholastica</strong> Academy must remain open and<br />
a vibrant educational opportunity for Catholic/Christian young women.<br />
In all <strong>of</strong> this Marguerite has remained not only true to the school’s<br />
mission, but steadfast in her determination that the Benedictine legacy<br />
<strong>of</strong> prayer, work, study, and community be embraced by the entire school<br />
community and become a known entity throughout the entire civil<br />
community as well. <strong>Our</strong> Benedictine heritage is what the school stands<br />
for; it is what the girls learn as they go through our educational program;<br />
it is what they tell us they remember as alums. Those graphic, monolithic<br />
pillars at the school’s entrance proudly proclaim this to everyone.<br />

Letter From the School Board Chairman<br />
D<br />
ear SSA Family,<br />
BACK TO NORMAL!!!!!!!<br />
BACK TO THE SAME OLD<br />
ROUTINE!!!!!!! A year after the worst<br />
natural disaster in the history <strong>of</strong> this country,<br />
that is what all <strong>of</strong> us were looking for this<br />
current school year.<br />
As devastating as Katrina was to our region,<br />
SSA was ironically blessed. Through all the<br />
pain and destruction and displacement, your<br />
SSA family was able to stand tall and proud.<br />
We took stock <strong>of</strong> our problems, found<br />
solutions, and welcomed one and all to the<br />
warmth and security <strong>of</strong> this school.<br />
Although our campus was damaged, our<br />
commitment to help others was not.<br />
Although our resources were already<br />
stretched, we found a way to tighten our<br />
belts even further. Although taking on<br />
more students would be very difficult, we<br />
managed to welcome nearly 200 displaced<br />
students from the south-shore.<br />
If ever there was an event to emphasize the<br />
wisdom <strong>of</strong> the four pillars upon which SSA<br />
is founded, Katrina provided a wonderful<br />
opportunity for all <strong>of</strong> us. The SSA family<br />
simply rose to the occasion. In that one<br />
event, we learned that the best way to cope<br />
was simply to WORK and PRAY for the<br />
benefit <strong>of</strong> our COMMUNITY; and STUDY,<br />
not only to help ourselves but to help those<br />
around us as well. The destruction brought<br />
by Katrina provided all <strong>of</strong> us, especially<br />
our daughters, to experience first hand, the<br />
perpetual wisdom <strong>of</strong> these fundamental<br />
Christian values.<br />
So the current school year started out to be<br />
a fairly typical one. Old routines were<br />
quickly being re-established. The students,<br />
faculty, staff and parents were taking<br />
comfort in getting back to normal. Then, we<br />
have another little storm. <strong>Our</strong> president and<br />
leader for the past twenty-eight years,<br />
Marguerite Celestin, was diagnosed with a<br />
rare medical condition. This condition<br />
would preclude Marguerite from conducting<br />
her normal daily routine. Marguerite’s<br />
normal daily routine would usually begin<br />
before sunrise and typically end late in<br />
the evening hours. What would she be<br />
doing in that typical day? She would be<br />
PRAYING, WORKING, AND STUDYING<br />
for better more effective ways to serve her<br />
COMMUNITY. That community includes<br />
not only the faculty, staff and students <strong>of</strong><br />
SSA, but all <strong>of</strong> its parents, grandparents<br />
and alumnae. Her normal routine would<br />
also involve contact with the neighbors<br />
in and around the campus, the people<br />
<strong>of</strong> Covington and <strong>St</strong>. Tammany Parish,<br />
vendors, contractors, architects, politicians,<br />
archdiocesan personnel, peers and<br />
colleagues. Marguerite’s normal routine is<br />
very time consuming and overwhelming.<br />
So what happens? Very simply, Mary<br />
Kathryn Villere, Elaine Simmons, Carol<br />
Poole, Eileen Depreo, Susanne Hepburn,<br />
Jennifer Grimley, the entire faculty and staff<br />
simply picked up the pieces and began to<br />
accomplish what Marguerite would have<br />
wanted them to accomplish. Everyone has<br />
taken on additional roles, jobs, duties,<br />
chores and tasks. Each has done so with an<br />
incredibly positive attitude. Each continues<br />
to do so in the Christian spirit <strong>of</strong> service.<br />
The direct beneficiaries <strong>of</strong> these Herculean<br />
efforts are each <strong>of</strong> our daughters.<br />
Thankfully, Marguerite has been able to<br />
contribute to these efforts, but I’m sure that<br />
she must take comfort in the knowledge<br />
that the team she has surrounded herself<br />
with has performed so willingly and so<br />
selflessly.<br />
We parents are truly blessed to have such<br />
an opportunity to place our daughter’s<br />
educational needs in the care <strong>of</strong> such a<br />
wonderfully talented, selfless and dedicated<br />
team.<br />
As for the school board, our main objective<br />
this year is to complete the strategic plan.<br />
Thanks especially to Sue Zaunbrecher<br />
for her tireless efforts in this regard, we<br />
should have a very well prepared 5 – 10<br />
year vision for SSA. From technology to<br />
the physical campus, we will have explored<br />
and determined the strategy with which to<br />
propel SSA into the next few years.<br />
Construction on the Chapel should begin<br />
early this year. Plans for other academic<br />
buildings coupled with improvements to the<br />
athletic complex and other facilities will<br />
continue in the near future. The Master Site<br />
plan should be completed as well. The<br />
school board is proud to demonstrate in this<br />
annual report that SSA continues to manage<br />
its resources quite efficiently.<br />
Finally, in order to maintain SSA as the best<br />
school in this region, additional resources<br />
will be needed. We look to embark upon<br />
a very aggressive capital campaign in the<br />
near future. Your willingness to be part<br />
<strong>of</strong> this effort will insure that SSA will<br />
continue to be simply the best school with<br />
which to entrust your daughter’s secondary<br />
education. I’d like to thank each <strong>of</strong> you for<br />
your past efforts and contributions, and I<br />
would call upon each <strong>of</strong> you to continue to<br />
support the mission <strong>of</strong> SSA.<br />
Respectfully<br />

THE<br />
LEGACY SOCIETY<br />
<strong>Scholastica</strong> was able to do more, because she loved more.<br />
Pope <strong>St</strong>. Gregory<br />
The Society recognizes and thanks those individuals who have named or notified SSA <strong>of</strong> their<br />
intent to make the School, a beneficiary <strong>of</strong> their will, trust, or other planned gift arrangement.<br />
Members <strong>of</strong> this special group <strong>of</strong> benefactors - alumnae, faculty, parents, grandparents and friends<br />
- have at least one thing in common, a lasting commitment to Catholic education for young<br />
women.<br />
A future gift so personal demonstrates a deep and lasting commitment to our mission and to future<br />
generations <strong>of</strong> young women <strong>of</strong> our SSA community. Through April 2008, individuals who join<br />
the Society will be recognized as “Charter” members.<br />

A Gift that Gives Back<br />
How would you like to have a steady,<br />
dependable flow <strong>of</strong> income for the rest<br />
<strong>of</strong> your life? And at the same time,<br />
make a significant gift to SSA?<br />
Impossible? Not at all. This year, we<br />
received our first gift annuity a few<br />
months ago from a couple that “want<br />
to help ensure the future <strong>of</strong> <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Scholastica</strong> Academy.”<br />
The specifics in this example are<br />
just that - an example. The couple<br />
wishes to remain anonymous and this<br />
illustration does not reflect the<br />
specifics <strong>of</strong> their gift, but it does<br />
reflect their actual sentiments shared<br />
with members <strong>of</strong> the advancement<br />
staff.<br />
Here’s an example <strong>of</strong> how a charitable<br />
gift annuity might work. Mr. and<br />
Mrs. Benefactor contribute $20,000 to<br />
SSA in exchange for a charitable gift<br />
annuity. Because <strong>of</strong> their ages, the gift<br />
annuity pays an annual rate <strong>of</strong> 5.3%.<br />
Consequently, they receive a charitable<br />
deduction <strong>of</strong> $6,864 in the year <strong>of</strong> their<br />
gift and $1,060 for the rest <strong>of</strong> their<br />
lives.<br />
This payment is not based on the<br />
economic conditions <strong>of</strong> Wall <strong>St</strong>reet,<br />
nor is it dependent on any other<br />
variable. It is a locked-in annual<br />
payment, secured by the assets <strong>of</strong><br />
The Catholic Foundation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Archdiocese <strong>of</strong> New Orleans.<br />
The Catholic Foundation keeps the<br />
$20,000 in a special fund until both<br />
Mr. and Mrs. Benefactor are gone.<br />
Then, the remainder <strong>of</strong> the funds are<br />
disbursed to the SSA Endowment<br />
Fund and used according to the wishes<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Benefactors to help carry out the<br />
mission <strong>of</strong> SSA.<br />
Mrs. Benefactor recently shared, “SSA<br />
is a special place, and for all the years<br />
I have been associated with the<br />
School, I believe it has been God’s<br />
will. I have seen how the alumnae give<br />
back to our community and I want<br />
their contribution and input to<br />
continue. I want to help ensure SSA is<br />
here for future generations.”<br />
“The gift was easy to complete. I<br />
worked directly with Elaine Simmons,<br />
our Advancement Director. We set<br />
up direct deposit for our quarterly<br />
payments - the whole process was<br />
very, very easy.”<br />
After the gift was completed, Mrs.<br />
Benefactor was asked how she felt<br />
about the gift and shared, “I feel like<br />
I am completing a mission. My<br />
husband supported my decision 100%<br />
and so the gift is from both <strong>of</strong> us. <strong>Our</strong><br />
gift to SSA was the impetus for<br />
discussions about our philanthropy<br />
and what it means to us. My husband<br />
is now interested in supporting<br />
another Catholic ministry as well, that<br />
is close to his heart.”<br />
Imagine making a gift and receiving<br />
payments for life. It seems too good to<br />
be true. But there are many thousands<br />
<strong>of</strong> donors across the country who have<br />
discovered that such a wonderful<br />
gift-vehicle actually does exist -<br />
whether it benefits SSA or another<br />
qualified charitable organization.<br />

Through a Charitable<br />
Gift Annuity<br />
For a minimum gift <strong>of</strong> $10,000, a charitable<br />
gift annuity will provide you with:<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten greater than current money market<br />

(For example, a donor at age 75 earns 7.10%)<br />
• An immediate charitable income tax<br />
deduction<br />
• Partial tax-free payments for your life<br />
expectancy<br />
• Reduced capital gains taxes if your gift is<br />
funded with appreciated securities<br />
• The opportunity to support the Catholic<br />
educational leadership <strong>of</strong> young women<br />
• Recognition in the <strong>Scholastica</strong> Legacy<br />
Society<br />
The Advancement Office will send you a<br />

obligation) that shows you how a charitable<br />
gift annuity can benefit both you and SSA.<br />
