LAPLACE—The 2022-2023 St. Charles Catholic High School Students of the Year were recognized at a schoolwide mass on February 14 by Dr. Courtney Millet, the school principal.

 

St. Charles Catholic High School is honored to announce their Twelfth-Grade Student of the Year, Erin Powell, and Eighth Grade Student of the Year, Ava Klibert.

She is currently busy serving as the Student Council President. She was also the President of the French Club and is the Vice President of the Beta Club.  She is a co-founder of Academic Games and the team captain for three years.

 

Erin has also participated in a number of clubs such as Retreat Team, SCC Ambassadors, the National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, and Stagehands.   She also is an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion.
