FINALLY! This word is my mantra aswe begin this new year! Standing onthe horizon of this new school yearwe are filled with enthusiasm andexcitement. So many things thathave been in the works for the last two yearsare “finally” coming to fruition.1. “Innovation, Purpose, and Promise—SSA 2012” The Strategic Plan that has beenso long in the making is off the presses andwe have hit the ground running to beginimplementing the goals, objectives, andaction steps that will guide and direct us forthe next five years. This highly visionaryplan is a working document that will guideSSA in the next five years and beyondtoward being the best school in the GulfSouth. Incorporated into this plan are goalsand strategies based on research and bestpractices as well as the expertise andexpectations of our stakeholders. Thefoundation of this plan is grounded in thephilosophy of continuous improvement thatis highly valued here at SSA. The Goals andStrategies include such steps as:implementing a comprehensive curriculumrenewal; utilizing data management;creating opportunities for academic learningbeyond the classroom; incorporating afaculty career ladder for compensationbased on achievement and professionalgrowth; achieving greater operationalefficiency; enhancing college and careercounseling; creating communitypartnerships through service projects thatare mission driven; integrating faith intolearning across disciplines through theCatholic value standards; developing a newinteractive website; establishing more activecommunications systems and opportunitiesfor dialogue; integrating technologicallyinnovative systems into the fabric of ourinstructional system; prioritizing andcompleting vital components of the MasterSite Plan that are essential to continuedexcellence; identifying and implementing afund development plan to secure theresources necessary to fulfill the variouscomponents of this Strategic Plan.The title of our plan: “Innovation, Purpose,and Promise” was deliberately chosen as wefelt it best reflected the intentions we havefor our endeavors now and in the future. Weare not content to stay static. We havealways taken great pride in employingconcepts that are in the forefront ofeducational research such as the 4 x 4schedule and standards-based education.LetterF R O M T H E P R E S I D E N T ’ S P E NMarguerite S. CelestinImbedded in this set of goals and objectivesare strategies and action steps that arehighly innovative and forward looking, fullof purpose and meaning, specificallytargeted and results oriented. In particularthis can be seen in the integration of 1:1technology into our learning process. Theuse of data to inform instruction andcounseling will enhance student growth anddevelopment in a more personal, resultsorientedapproach. The career ladder offersgreat incentives to faculty for advancementand professional growth. All this and moreholds a promise of excellence for ourstudents. More information on theseinitiatives can be found in other pages inthis issue of Wings.We have held several meetings with variousgroups to impart a more completeunderstanding of the particulars of the plan.A series of small group gatherings wereheld to allow for greater interaction. Yourcontinued input and support are essential tothe success of these goals.Many people have devoted a great deal oftime and effort to craft the nuts and bolts ofthis plan. I am deeply grateful to all thosewho worked on this plan that will furtherSSA’s growth and development. It is up toeveryone to make these plans happen. Wecannot stand still.2. The second “Finally” is for the Chapel!Over 20 years ago we began to envision aseparate space solely dedicated to God. Italways seemed like-a-dream, animpossibility, as other needs always seemedgreater, and the chapel, unfortunately, tooka backseat. In 2000 when our Master SitePlan was designed, the idea of a chapel“finally” became a possibility. Our planswere to begin construction in the fall of2005. This time the fulfillment of thedream took a backseat to Katrina. But wenever gave up! Now it becomes a reality!On Tuesday, October 23, we broke groundfor this chapel dedicated to our BlessedMother under the title of “Our Mother ofPerpetual Help.” We have chosen this titlefor several reasons. One, she is “OurMother” and an important image for ouryoung women for whom motherhood ishighly valued. Also, she is always there forus, thus “Perpetual Help.” Thirdly, in theNew Orleans area and across thecountry/world there is a great devotion toOur Mother of Perpetual Help. I grew up ina parish staffed by the Redemptorist Fathersand the School Sisters of Notre Dame. Weparticipated in weekly devotions to Maryunder this title. Our Blessed Mother is awonderful role model for our young womento emulate. What a blessing it will be to havea consecrated, sacred space for our SSAfamily to pray, worship, and meditate in orderto establish a personal spirituality andrelationship with God our Father, JesusChrist, and the Holy Spirit. The chapel isgoing to be an architectural beauty and asymbolic icon of the very core and purposeof our existence as a Catholic educationalinstitution. I thank those of you who havegenerously supported this project throughyour contributions and your prayers.This issue of Wings also functions as a“transition” issue: a bridge from the schoolyear ’06-’07 to the school year ’07-’08. Weare proud of the many accomplishments oflast year as noted in the column by ourprincipal, Mary Kathryn Villere. Ourteachers and students have proventhemselves in continuously striving forexcellence. We congratulate our Seniors of2007 and wish them well as they join theranks of alumnae. Our constant challenge tothem is “Never underestimate the power ofan SSA graduate.” We know they have whatit takes to be successful in whatever theyattempt. Our support and prayers are withthem as well as their parents to whom we aremost grateful for joining us in a partnershipover the years for the benefit of theseoutstanding young women.We take great pride in our accomplishmentsand invite you to participate with us inmaking our dreams happen. This is anexciting time for us as we take the first stepstoward implementation of our Strategic Planand as we break ground on the “Mother ofPerpetual Help” chapel. We invite you towork with us as we approach the future withgreat confidence and deep gratitude.In the last year I have learned that “nothinghappens by accident” and “nothing isimpossible for those who love God.” It hasbeen said of St. Scholastica our patronessthat “she could do more because she lovedmore.” If we live this philosophy, our worldwill be a much better place. It begins here, inour classrooms, on our campus, in ourhomes. May we all continue to grow in loveof God and love of each other through theintercession of our Blessed Mother under herspecial title, Our Mother of Perpetual Help.May God bless each of you as we jointogether to further our renewed effortstowards excellence and make great thingshappen for the young women we serve.D O V E W I N G S 3

SSA STRATEGIC PLAN 2007 - 2012Innovation, Purpose and PromiseS S A L O N G R A N G E P L A N N I N GSt. Scholastica Academy began work on a new five-year Strategic Plan in early 2006 after achieving the major goals outlined in the previousstrategic plan. During 1999-2005, SSA implemented a Standards Based Education Program; finalized the campus master site plan; completed the newfront entrance with the Four Pillars reflecting the Benedictine tradition of Prayer, Work, Study, and Community; completed a new eight classroombuilding, LaSalle Hall; added wrought iron fencing surrounding most of the campus; renovated the library; enhanced the visual, arts, music and dramaprograms; created the Student Ministry Program; initiated the college tour; established endowed scholarships; initiated an online ACT program;expanded technology opportunities and built the athletic complex.Under the leadership of Marguerite Celestin, President of SSA, Mary Kathryn Villere, Principal of SSA and Sue Zaunbrecher, the StrategicPlanning Committee Chair and School Board Executive Officer, a group of 105 people attended the SSA Strategic Planning Convocation in January2006. This group represented many different constituencies interested in the future of SSA. Current parents, past parents, faculty, staff, administration,alumnae, students, and community leaders came together to brainstorm ideas needed to continue to strive for excellence for the future of the Academy,now in its second century.The synthesis of the comments received from this group of constituents developed into seven strategic goals. These goals and related strategicobjectives were defined and approved by a two-tier Strategic Planning Committee guided by the mission statement and beliefs of SSA. The Four Pillarsof Prayer, Work, Study, and Community along with the foundation of institutional resources were used to frame the issues and to develop the goalsand objectives. This draft plan was then approved by the School Board and presented to other school organizations at the annual fall retreat.Work groups were identified and met on September 20, 2006 to begin developing strategies, action plans, measurable results/outcomes anddetailed timelines and to identify the resources needed to achieve the Strategic Objectives. In March 2007 these work groups made finalrecommendations to the Strategic Plan Core Team, who were charged with implementation, for review and approval. The work of this final phase wasaccomplished by summer 2007.Members of the St. Scholastica Academy 2007-2008 School, Alumnae, Athletic and Parent Boards as well as the SSA Administration gatheredAugust 18, 2007 for a retreat and workshop. Cindy Harlan, chair of the School Board welcomed everyone after a buffet breakfast was served. Thepurpose of the day was to roll out SSA’s new five year Strategic Plan 2007-2012, “Innovation, Purpose, and Promise”, and review each Board’s missionon how they were going to contribute to the school and the plan. Marguerite Celestin, president of SSA, introduced the SSA ambitious plan and wasthrilled to have the opportunity to work with the parents, alumnae, community, school staff, and outside resources to get the plan accomplished. SSAPrincipal, Mary Kathryn Villere, enthusiastically informed all of the Boards that some of the goals and action plans have already begun to beimplemented and encouraged all to be a part of this endeavor.The Retreat was facilitated by Ashley Villere Chitwood’89, interim dean at Delgado College. The retreat focused on each group’s work inpreparing their assigned goal. They discussed how SSA is rooted in tradition and looking to the future.Each Board was then asked to pick one goal to focus on and come up with an action plan to accomplish that goal through their committee. At theend of the session, each board targeted goals and strategies for the school year and felt a sense of pride in being a part of the next five-year plan.In October, small gatherings of current parents met at host homes for informational sessions followed by questions and answers about the StrategicPlan.As the action plans are implemented over the next few years, SSA expects that the educational experience of all of our students will be enhancedand become a model for the region.D O V E W I N G S 5

She credits the variedinstructional methods and individual attention that her teachers atSSA provided for her ability to understand the coursework.“The teachers were phenomenal; they went theextra mile,” exclaimed Susan. “If I hadn’t gone toSSA, I wouldn’t have had the courage to believein myself academically that I could do it.”During her residency atHighland Park Hospital inCovington, Susan workedwith hospice, assisted in homehealth care, and worked ingeriatrics and neurology.In 1997, she opened RehabDynamics, Inc. in Covington,and has a staff of threephysical therapists and alicensed physical therapist assistant. While working with patients,Susan takes the opportunity to reach out and minister to those inneed.“One of my most prized moments happened when a patienttold me ‘Susan, I want you to know I’m going to be baptized andreceive my First Communion on Easter Sunday,’ and she wasraised atheist,” said Susan, who added that she allows Christ towork through her so she can minister to her patients.The busy entrepreneur also takes time to serve as “the family’smedical care provider” and, after working ten hour days, she willgive therapy to her family members, both young and old.“Susan is a good person. She’s very supportive and a pleasureto have as a sister,” said Cindy. “She is a fine example of a SSAgraduate and has a truly big heart.”The alumna stays active in school affairs by supporting theFalaya Fling and doing an annual presentation at Career Day.

T H E D R E A M B E C O M EOur Mother of PerpFor 100 years parents have sent their daughters to St.Scholastica Academy because of the superioreducation and the Catholic-based principles itprovides. SSA is a school where Christian values andteachings are at the center of each student’s educationalexperience.God is calling us to be more than just an assembly ofyoung women who come together for teaching and learning.He’s calling us to bea faith community, apeople connected byHis love andcommitted to eachother. Our Motherof Perpetual HelpChapel will fostercommunity throughprayer. The studentswill begin to puttheir faith intoaction and expandtheir relationshipwith God, with oneanother and theircommunity.The first 60years, our studentsshared their faith ina beautiful chapellocated in the firstschool building. Thenext 40 years, thestudents gathered in various settings sharing their faith.Many of our alumnae have returned to their homecommunities and many have established themselves in newcommunities as mature, loving Catholic Christians --competent, responsible citizens, capable and willing to serveGod, their family, their parish and the local and globalcommunities.We realized that there was a need for the return of a truechapel to the SSA campus; a formal place where our studentswill be able to gather and share and nurture their faith.We wanted a building that could accommodate the presentwhile providing for the future. We needed a place to call ourown. The worship space should be a place where our studentswould feel a sense of permanence in a very transitional timein their lives.The importance of our chapel is that it issensitive to ourstudents’ needs;allowing for prayerand meditationthroughout the daywithin liturgicalnorms andguidelines.An importantcomponent at SSA isour holistic approachto education. Theintegration of thei n t e l l e c t u a l ,e m o t i o n a l ,psychological, andspiritual well beingof an individual is alife-long process.The need for thepresence ofChristian values inthe development ofyoung women asthey appropriate an adult life of faith is critical. It isinvolvement during these years, which strengthens their faith.S T. S C H O L A S T I C A AC A D E M Y ’ SOur Mother of Perpetual Help ChapelConstruction of the new chapel on campushas begun. The groundbreaking ceremony wasOctober 23, 2007.A L L E L U I A !G I V E

E S A R E A L I T Y . . .petual Help ChapelThe chapel is designed to meet the spiritual, emotional andinspirational needs of the SSA family. The modernmissionary-style building will be located at the end of a pavedpromenade leading from the new main entrance to the frontentrance of the chapel. The chapel will reflect the traditionalcharacter and architectural motif of the original schoolbuilding. The old school bell from the original schoolbuilding, which is inscribed with various signatures of bravestudents who climbed to the third floor to put their marks onthe legendary bell and currently on display in the SSA lobby,will hang from the arched entryway of the chapel. A sideentrance will be another focal point, which will face theinterior campus. A prayer garden and paved walkways willframe the chapel. People will find a welcoming and warmenvironment of a small Catholic church. The seating will befor approximately 200 people and serve as a quiet prayer andadoration chapel.Entire grade levels and faculty will be able to gather forliturgies, prayer services, prayer groups and retreats. Thestudents can put their faith into action and expand theirrelationship with God and their relationship with one anotherand their community. It will also be open for alumnaewedding ceremonies.The chapel is part of the next phase of SSA’s master siteplan. During the creation of the school’s strategic plan in2000, administrators included the master site plan as anopportunity for growth and advancement. Phase one of theplan has already been completed and includes theconstruction of LaSalle Hall -- an eight-classroom building,new parking lots, and the establishment of a front entrance atthe corner of Boston and Massachusetts streets and theinstallation of the academy’s four pillars, which are based onthe Benedictine tradition of prayer, work, study, andcommunity. Now, SSA is proud to begin work on the nextphase of the plan.The chapel is projected to cost $1.8 million. The chapel’sdesign was created by Holly and Smith Architects inHammond. Serving as contractor is Core Construction.St. Scholastica Academy is honored to offer givingopportunities to the faithful to help support the constructionof the SSA Chapel (please see Chapel CommemorativeOpportunities sheet in this issue).“It is a dream come true for many people, andwe can finally make it a reality,” said SSA PresidentMarguerite Celestin.We want to continue “lighting a fire” within each student sothat she is prepared to go forward, as our alumnae have done– to make her way in the world as a beacon, shining with faith,service and hope. The fires we light now will burn brightlyinto the next century.2007-2008Chapel CampaignLevels of GivingChapel $500,000Tower $250,000Sanctuary $100,000Rosary $ 50,000Choir $ 25,000Angels $ 10,000Grotto $ 5,000Devotional $ 2,500Bell $ 1,000G L O R Y T O G O D !

Rev. Msgr.Frank J. Giroir and Deacon Butch Shartle presided overAdoration of the Eucharist. SSA junior ChantelleFerrari, daughter of Debbie Glockner Ferrari ‘68 wanted to plan a Pep Rally for God as a way to praise God together as a school.Ferrari’s desire came to reality and now the pep rallies have become a part of SSA. The theme for this pep rally was “Behold YourKing”. A recently formed Christian band called In His Name performed at the SSA Pep Rally and entertained the students who sangalong with the band. Some students from St. Paul’s School attended and participated in the rally. A special part of the program includedtestimonials from SSA and SPS students about their faith. The SSA “Pep Rally for God” Planning committee, comprised of SSAstudents, helped plan the rally with the help of SSA religion teacher Amanda Schneidau. As a special highlight, Colin MacIver, a JesuitHigh School teacher was the featured speaker. Ferrari hopes that more Catholic Schools in the New Orleans area will be interested inholding a “Pep Rally for God”.40 D O V E W I N G S

SSA Alumna of the Year &Alumnae LuncheonLisa Mott Dugger’73 was named the Alumna of the Year at the St.Scholastica Academy Alumnae Luncheon held at Benedict’sPlantation in April. Mott graduated from SSA in 1973 andmarried high school sweetheart, Mike Dugger, SPS graduate, in1976. She and Mike traveled with the Air Force and finally moved backto Covington in 1988. Their three girls Brooke Dugger Paulin’96,Kristin Dugger Kingrea’99, and Molly Dugger’02 attended SSA.Dugger became active with the SSA Athletic Association and servedon the board of directors. Along with her dedication to the athleticprogram, she worked with the Parent Club chairing theMother/Daughter Tea, the Father/Daughter Dinner and the Feast Day ofSt. Scholastica. She has been the program chair for the ChristianWomen’s Club and a sustainer in the Junior League of GreaterCovington.Dugger fondly remembers her years at SSA and the strong spiritualbackground she received. She knows her girls came away from SSAwith the same spirituality and love for the school as she did. Accordingto her children, she always gave unselfishly, supported her girls andeveryone at SSA. She never expected recognition and was alwayswilling to chauffeur athletic teams, cook for bake sales, call fellowalums, and plan her class reunions. She taught her girls values andmorals and made them write them down in order to remember thethings that are truly important.Alumnae Association Vice-President, Jeanne Livaudais Daigle ’57welcomed everyone. Alumnae board member Missie Arata Noel ’84led the guests with an opening prayer. The state of the school reportwas given by President Marguerite Celestin.

Spotlight on TeacherWayne CruthirdsLatin and Humanities Teacher Wayne Cruthirds (“Mr. C”)has inspired St. Scholastica Academy staff and studentssince he was hired in 1979. Besides teaching at SSA, Mr. Calso oversees the school’s weekly news report published inThe Times Picayune newspaper and the school’s contributions tothe Clarion Herald’s annual supplement, Youth, Ink.,” and servesas a Class Moderator for the Junior Class. He received a “MySpecial Teacher” award in 1992 and also received a NationalEndowment for the Humanities Fellowship to attend a program atMarymount University in Arlington, Virginia. The programfocused on the works of Chaucer and their relation to humanitiesin medieval England.“He is a magnificent teacher and will do anythingfor anyone,” said SSA Drama Department ChairTrisha Schaff. “No one has ever said anythingnegative about Mr. C. He is a brilliant man.”Well-versed in five languages, Cruthirds earned a bachelor’sdegree in classical philology, which is Greek and Latin languageand literature, from Loyola University in New Orleans in 1965. Healso received aWoodrow WilsonFellowship, whichhelped fund hisstudies at HarvardUniversity inCambridge, Mass.,where he earned amaster’s degree inclassical philology in1967.During the1960’s, he wanted todo something “relevant.”“I did some really hard soul searching,” said Mr. C, beforedeciding to join the Peace Corps, a government-sponsoredprogram created by President John F. Kennedy that placesAmerican volunteers abroad for two years to share their talentswith underdeveloped countries.As a Peace Corps Volunteer, Mr. C taught English as a secondlanguage to elementary students at two schools in The Republic ofBelau, formerly called the Palau Islands, in Micronesia. He stayedwith a large family in a 25-foot by 15-foot tin shack, and paddledin an outrigger canoe two miles and walked four miles a day toand from the elementary schools. Mr. C was amazed that despitebeing very poor, the islanders were very happy.“I learned how to be happy,” said Cruthirds.“Thepeople there had virtually nothing, but they werehappy; they enjoyed being together with family.”His own family includes hiswife, Sundra, known acrosscampus as Sunny, who as SSA’sbookkeeper for fourteen years andcontinues to serve as an active volunteer as one of the committeechairs of the Falaya Fling; two children, Wayne Jr., 29, and SarahElizabeth, 22, Class of 2003; and, an eleven-year-old cat namedAmber. The couple owns a home on seven acres in Bush, whereCruthirds enjoys vegetable gardening and grows tomatoes, bellpeppers and eggplants. He also enjoys reading “novels of intrigue”by Frederick Forsyth and Nelson Demille, and the popular HarryPotter book series by J.K. Rowling. Knowing he enjoyed the Potterbooks, his students gifted him with a Latin edition of the first bookin the series a few years ago.Mr. C takes great pleasure in teaching and engaging hisstudents and working with the friendly and supportiveadministration at SSA. His “Elation Number 67” came recentlywhen a former student, visiting SSA, ran across the gym and gavehim “a huge hug.” She told him that she was taking Humanities incollege and was the only student who was not struggling in thecourse.Marguerite Celestin, SSA President adds, “School had alreadystarted in August of 1979 when Wayne Cruthirds responded to ourad in the paper for an English teacher, due to the unexpectedvacancy left when a new teacher left for another position. Thatproved to be an extraordinary blessing. When I contacted hisMr. C poses with students in Latin class.reference in Massachusetts the administrator suggested I dowhatever possible to acquire this outstanding teacher. Through theyears he has demonstrated that he is the consummate professional:doing whatever it takes to be there for his students, going the extramile to assist any student in need. “Mr. C” as his studentsaffectionately call him, is a gifted teacher with a wealth ofknowledge and passion for whatever subject he is teaching, isalways well-planned, and challenges his students to thinkcreatively. Students refer to him as one of the best teachers theyhave ever had. We are proud to have him on our staff andcontinually thank God for his many years of service at SSA.”D O V E W I N G S 57

Thoughtfully planned, any of the following gifts may bring important personal benefits whileproviding a future gift to SSA:A bequest, in your will or living trust, is a flexible and easy way to establish a lasting legacy.Simply state in your will directly or in a codicil to your will.A gift of retirement assets may allow you to give more than you thought possible, while reducing taxes that may otherwisedramatically reduce them.A life income gift, such as a charitable remainder trust or gift annuity, can give you and/or a loved one fixed payments for life, increasedincome, and reduced taxes. Charitable Gift Annuity – an agreement which enables you to make a gift now, secure an annual income for life and receivea tax deduction. Income is based on the length of the annuity and the size of the gift. Charitable Remainder Trust – provides income for yourself or loved ones while making a gift to SSA. You can establish thetrust during your lifetime, receive a tax deduction, and the remaining goes to SSA at the end of the term of the trust.Gifts of life insurance policies provide wonderful benefits. Many people own insurance policies that are no longer needed for theiroriginal purposes. In general, you will be entitled to an income tax deduction for the cash surrender value, and can also deductthe amount of future premiums paid on an annual basis.A thorough review of your assets, income needs, and charitable interests will identify the most beneficial way for you to make a gift to SSA.
