CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL CELEBRATES FACULTY MEMBERS IN THE COINDRE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

During a school-wide liturgy held in December 2021, Catholic High School recognized those members of the faculty and staff who have completed all or part of the Coindre Leadership Program (CLP), an intensive personal formation development experience designed to prepare future mentors in the charism to better ensure its continued, lived expression in our school.

The CLP is dedicated to forming future generations of school leaders rooted in the spirituality of the Heart of Christ, committed to the building of a Christian community, and devoted to the mission and apostolate of André Coindre.

Catholic High School announced senior Ben Eagleton as Student of the Year for the 2021-2022 School Year.

“Winning this award means the world to me,” he said. “I am so excited to not only be honored by this school but also to be able to compete on the diocesan level and hopefully beyond.”

While at CHS, Ben has been a member of chorus, cross country, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, JPII Club, Mu Alpha Theta, National Honor Society, Respect Life Club, Science Club, soccer, Spanish Club, Student Ambassadors, Student Council, Student Ministry, track and field, and Youth & Government.

He has been a Louisiana Boys State representative, serving in multiple leadership roles. He has received a variety of awards including the East Baton Rouge State Fair Outstand-

Scholar Commendation, First Honors Honor Roll, AP Scholar with Honor, and others.

With a formidable GPA and ACT score, Ben is an elite student who also regularly demonstrates deep spiritual engagement, a winning personality, and an impressive work ethic.

“I would like to thank Catholic High School, my friends and family, and especially my parents. They have been such a huge inspiration to me and fostered my growth into the man I am today. It is such an honor for me to be able to represent myself, my community, and my school through this award, and I hope to follow in the legacy of students before me and leave my own mark on Catholic High School.”

Ben is the son of Wren and Bernard Eagleton and is a graduate of St. Aloysius Catholic School.
