Senior Tessa Mize is advancing to state! Congrats to Tessa on a great accomplishment as she has made it to state all four years! The state competition is Saturday, October 31, at LaVern Gibson, at noon.

The girls placed 15th as a team at regionals. Congrats to junior Nora Phillips and freshman Kennedy Krystek on running their personal records. All seven Royals ran a great race!

The Royals placed 13th in the 25-team Franklin Regional. Senior Will Lewis finished 30th with a time of 16:00.4, which is the third fastest time in school history! All seven runners set new personal bests including junior Luke Senac (16:57), senior Thomas Mallers (17:10), junior Chris Jerry (17:12), junior Sam Cochran (17:21), senior Zeke Littell (17: 29) and senior Evan Wright (17:36). Their top-five average of 16:56 is the 13th-fastest in school history. Great job by all seven Royals!

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.

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!
