My Students

Our school is very successful in preparing students for college and success in life.

Yet, the achievements of our students are not limited to the classroom.

Indeed, they excel in sports.

Our school has fielded numerous state championship athletic teams, and the school is frequently a contender for the Ford Cup, an award given to the best athletic program in the state of Louisiana. I'm the athletics director.

We have twenty competitive sports teams including soccer, football, cross-country, golf, volleyball, tennis, swimming, basketball, softball, baseball and indoor/outdoor track and field.

I personally coach girl basketball and love it!

My Project

We would like to install a set of goal post pads on our football field to keep our players safe -- this is the main incentive -- and give our field a professional look. Of course, we want to show off our school's colors (Dark Green) by adding custom lettering (on file with the vendor) that will be digitally printed.

Because they are made with durable poly foam enclosed in heavy-duty vinyl, these new pads will last a long time, for generations of Falcons!

So your gift, Donors, will be with us forever!

For our Alumni, OG NOCLAF! GO FALCON for other donors!

Thank you!

Coach Hailey
Grades 9-12
