Spring Is The Season Of Academic Competitions

ST. FREDERICK STUDENTS HAVE DONE WELL AT REGIONAL AND STATE TOURNAMENTS.

Sixteen Warriors placed at the Tech Rally, with 11 first place finishes. Students earned accolades in virtually every category entered, from science and math to history, English, and Spanish. Those students went on to compete at the state level with three coming out in the top five in their subject areas: Jett Bernard placed 3rd in World Geography; Cris Torres placed 2nd in Government; and Kaylee Rogers took the top prize in Spanish IV, finishing 1st in her division.

St. Frederick was well represented in the regional and state science fair competitions, as well. Twelve of our 8th grade students won at the ULM Region III Science and Engineering Fair, with ten 1st place and two 2nd place awards. Addison Maciaszek earned Best in Show for her project, “Bubbles Be Gone” – a test comparing silicone and oil-based defoamers (silicone-based works better). Addison took her experiment to LSU and was awarded 4th place at the Louisiana State Science and Engineering Fair April 3-5. Go Warriors!

Congratulations to St. Frederick High School 2023-24 Discipleship Team. The SFHS Discipleship Team has taken on a vital role in the spiritual life of the student body at school. Their primary responsibility is to plan, organize, outline, and coordinate retreats offered to each class throughout the school year. The goal of the retreats is to build stronger relationships and enrich students’ faith journey.The team is comprised of 12 senior students each year who serve from August until May. Juniors who are interested in serving apply in February and members are chosen based on an essay application, recommendations from faculty and leaders of their church, and an interview. Once selected, the team hits the ground running in August, planning and organizing a retreat. They decide on a theme for the school year and they design posters, t-shirts, props, skits, video productions, and activity options. The team then facilitates six retreats throughout the first semester of the school year, one for each class. They want each class to experience the retreat as early as possible to have a better bonding experience with their classmates throughout the remainder of the school year.
