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

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

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

Afton Zaunbrecher,

Mass at Mary

Under the direction of SSA’s music director,
Sharon Scharmer, the SSA advanced choir
performed during the ceremony.
The seniors continued their celebration
the next day at “Ring Day”. As they made
the traditional procession through the
front gates of the Academy, each senior was
met by her eighth grade little sister who
presented her with a rose. The seniors gave

each of their little sisters a white ribbon in
anticipation of her senior ring and a card
with the senior class motto: “Yesterday
brought the beginning, tomorrow brings
the end, but somewhere in the middle, we
became the best of friends.” The seniors
filed into the gym where the rest of the
SSA students, along with the faculty, staff,
and parents, were waiting. SSA Principal
Mary Kathryn Villere gave the welcome
address, and senior class secretary Emily
Rodriguez led the assembly in the opening
prayer. Math teacher and co-senior
moderator Sybil Roussell read the
scripture reading from the Gospel of John,
while English teacher and co-senior
moderator Patrice Cedor gave a reflection
of the Gospel reading telling the seniors
that if they follow the example of St.
Scholastica, the patroness of SSA, they
will be able to do more because they loved
more.
Senior class vice president Aubrey Rector

shared the significance of each detail on
the ring. Several of the SSA seniors have
mothers who also attended the Academy.
Five of these alumnae moms shared their
experiences of SSA and the importance of
their own senior rings. They shared the
similarities and differences of SSA now
to their own years at SSA as well as the
special place they each hold in their hearts
for their memories of the Academy. The
alumnae moms who shared their stories
were Gina Bechac ’88, mother of Rebecca
Bechac; Donna Perrone Blossman ’79,
mother of Lauren Blossman; Kellie Ory
Gagliano ’82, mother of Zetta Gagliano;
Mary Pechon Robin ’76, mother of Caity
Robin; and Desirée Taylor Billeaud ’76,
mother of Cace Billeaud.
Senior class president Afton Zaunbrecher
shared her memories of ring days from
grades 8-12. She imparted the changing
significance each ring day had for her,
including being part of the ceremony as a
little sister, watching her friends and
classmates receive their rings, and finally
being part of her own ring ceremony. SSA
President Marguerite Celestin invoked the
closing blessing for the seniors after which
the choir closed the ceremony with the
SSA Alma Mater. The seniors and parents
were invited to a special reception hosted
by the sophomore class in the cafeteria.

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

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

KATRINA
Prayer Service
St. Scholastica Academy held a prayer
service on August 29, the one-year
anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, to
remember the devastation caused by the
terrible storm. The entire SSA student
body, faculty, and staff prayed together to
honor all of the heroes, victims, and
displaced families from Katrina. SSA
junior Chelsea Gandolfi led the opening
prayer and was the presider of the Prayers
of the Faithful. Catherine Schroeder, an
eighth-grader, read her composition, which
was the winning essay from St. Tammany
Parish of WWL-TV’s Hurricane Katrina
essay contest. Her narrative described her
experiences and those of her family during
the storm and her blessings after the
hurricane. SSA senior Brittany Decareaux
then gave an emotional tribute to her father,
David Decareaux, for his bravery during
the difficult days after the storm.
Decareaux is a Fireman/EMT with the New
Orleans Fire Department and was one of
the first responders to New Orleans right
after the storm. Brittany described her
worry for her father’s safety and her pride
of his heroism. Students Samantha Bopp
and Elise Taylor also described their once
in a lifetime experiences because of the
hurricane and how Hurricane Katrina has
touched their lives. The Prayers of the
Faithful were given by Sarah Gaudet,
Lauren Fereday, Margaret Kidd, Nicole
Robles and Sarah Broussard. Principal
Mary Kathryn Villere thanked the SSA
religion teachers Amanda Schneidau,
Barbara Link, and Bonnie Paille for
organizing the prayer service. Villere
reminded the students that they can all
“continue to make a difference in the
recovery effort in our community.”
SSA eighth grader, Catherine Schroeder, winner
of the 2006 WWL-TV Katrina Essay Contest, is
congratulated by TV personalities Jim Henderson,

the theme and modern trends as well as student
participation, organization, and attractiveness. They

St. Scholastica Academy held an honor
society induction ceremony on November
1 to recognize the new members of
the National Honor Society, Mu Alpha
Theta, and Excalibur. These honorary
organizations award membership to those
students who exemplify scholarship and
excellence at SSA.
The National Honor Society membership
is offered by invitation only to students
in the 10, 11, and 12 grades who have
maintained at least a cumulative 3.7 G.P.A.
and who participated in the Honors
program. A committee chooses which
applicants will be invited for membership
based on four characteristics: high
scholastic achievement, proven leadership
ability, upstanding character traits, and
dedicated to the school and the community.
Mu Alpha Theta is a national honor
organization for students who have excelled
in math classes. Membership is offered to
students who have received a “B” or higher
in all semester grades for Algebra I and
Geometry.
Excalibur Honor Society honors and
encourages students who excel in the
sciences. Membership is by invitation only
to students who have demonstrated a
proficiency in science by maintaining a 3.7
average or better in all high school science
course work and who have completed
at least one honors science course at
SSA.Landry’s plans after graduating from
St. Scholastica are simple: attend the
Honors College at LSU and help Louisiana
rise again.
“If I received a full scholarship to Harvard,
I would still want to attend LSU; it’s the
perfect school for me,” she said. But before
thinking of college, Landry has a busy year
ahead. Not only is she the governor of
Girls State, she was also elected governor
of Key Club for Louisiana, Mississippi
and Tennessee and is the Student Council
president at St. Scholastica for her senior
year.

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

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

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

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

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

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

A Gift that Gives Back
How would you like to have a steady,
dependable flow of income for the rest
of your life? And at the same time,
make a significant gift to SSA?
Impossible? Not at all. This year, we
received our first gift annuity a few
months ago from a couple that “want
to help ensure the future of St.
Scholastica Academy.”
The specifics in this example are
just that - an example. The couple
wishes to remain anonymous and this
illustration does not reflect the
specifics of their gift, but it does
reflect their actual sentiments shared
with members of the advancement
staff.
Here’s an example of how a charitable
gift annuity might work. Mr. and
Mrs. Benefactor contribute $20,000 to
SSA in exchange for a charitable gift
annuity. Because of their ages, the gift
annuity pays an annual rate of 5.3%.
Consequently, they receive a charitable
deduction of $6,864 in the year of their
gift and $1,060 for the rest of their
lives.
This payment is not based on the
economic conditions of Wall Street,
nor is it dependent on any other
variable. It is a locked-in annual
payment, secured by the assets of
The Catholic Foundation of the
Archdiocese of New Orleans.
The Catholic Foundation keeps the
$20,000 in a special fund until both
Mr. and Mrs. Benefactor are gone.
Then, the remainder of the funds are
disbursed to the SSA Endowment
Fund and used according to the wishes
of the Benefactors to help carry out the
mission of SSA.
Mrs. Benefactor recently shared, “SSA
is a special place, and for all the years
I have been associated with the
School, I believe it has been God’s
will. I have seen how the alumnae give
back to our community and I want
their contribution and input to
continue. I want to help ensure SSA is
here for future generations.”
“The gift was easy to complete. I
worked directly with Elaine Simmons,
our Advancement Director. We set
up direct deposit for our quarterly
payments - the whole process was
very, very easy.”
After the gift was completed, Mrs.
Benefactor was asked how she felt
about the gift and shared, “I feel like
I am completing a mission. My
husband supported my decision 100%
and so the gift is from both of us. Our
gift to SSA was the impetus for
discussions about our philanthropy
and what it means to us. My husband
is now interested in supporting
another Catholic ministry as well, that
is close to his heart.”
Imagine making a gift and receiving
payments for life. It seems too good to
be true. But there are many thousands
of donors across the country who have
discovered that such a wonderful
gift-vehicle actually does exist -
whether it benefits SSA or another
qualified charitable organization.
To learn how a charitable gift annuity
will work for you, please complete
the envelope provided and mail.
Please include your birth date
and/or your spouse’s birth date (if
applicable). Elaine Simmons, will
send you complimentary information,
including a personalized and
confidential gift annuity illustration -
with no obligation.
It pays to invest in
St. Scholastica Academy
Invest in Your Future.
Invest in Our Future.
Through a Charitable
Gift Annuity
For a minimum gift of $10,000, a charitable
gift annuity will provide you with:
• Fixed payments for life, paid annually,
semiannually, or quarterly
• Appealing payments - A guaranteed return
often greater than current money market
rates or certificates of deposit
(For example, a donor at age 75 earns 7.10%)
• An immediate charitable income tax
deduction
• Partial tax-free payments for your life
expectancy
• Reduced capital gains taxes if your gift is
funded with appreciated securities
• The opportunity to support the Catholic
educational leadership of young women
• Recognition in the Scholastica Legacy
Society
The Advancement Office will send you a
personalized financial analysis (with no
obligation) that shows you how a charitable
gift annuity can benefit both you and SSA.
