Roncalli is currently looking for families to host a French exchange student for one month next spring! Any Roncalli student may apply to be a host family. You do not need to know ANY French. You just need a desire to make a new friend and offer warm hospitality. Students will host a French teen of similar age from March 20 - April 17, 2027. This does include Spring Break, so your French student can join you on any adventures during this week. If your student and family would like to consider hosting from May 6 through early June, this is also a possibility. It’s one month of simple, fun and new experiences for your whole family! A $300 stipend will be given to each host family. For more information contact Michael Wantz, assistant principal for student life, at mwantz@roncalli.org. 

The school social workers would like to offer additional support to students by offering a counseling small group during this semester. The group topic will be "Dealing with Anxiety" and will meet on Wednesdays during homeroom. If you are interested in your student getting more support at school through a group setting, please fill out this form and return to the social workers by October 28. Email dbuxton@roncalli.org or lperry@roncalli.org for more information.

🎁 HELP US STOCK THE PRIZE VAULT! We’re collecting gift cards to restaurants, stores and other student favorites for incentives and prize drawings. Donations may be dropped off at school, attention: Brandi Young, director of alumni relations and special events, or email byoung@roncalli.org to coordinate.

RONCALLI FUTURE COURSES & PATHWAYS FEASIBILITY SURVEY

Roncalli High School is exploring new courses, career pathways, certifications and work-based learning opportunities as Indiana transitions to its new high school diploma.

The new Indiana Diploma provides students with greater flexibility to personalize their high school experience around their goals for college enrollment, employment, enlistment and/or service. Roncalli is seeking input from families, alumni, businesses, industry leaders, community members and important stakeholders to determine which opportunities are both valuable to students and feasible for Roncalli to develop.

Your feedback will help us identify potential programs, partnerships, internships, courses and career experiences that could prepare students for life after high school.

This survey should take approximately 5–7 minutes to complete. Please note: This is the same survey shared via email earlier this week. We’re sharing it again to make it easier for our community to participate. Thank you for your time!
