LITERARY RALLY TEAM

Moderator:  Lauren Schomaker
 
Teurlings Catholic High School students participate in district and state literary rallies held each year at UL Lafayette and LSU, respectively.  Winners may receive certificates, medals, and/or scholarships to various state universities. Teachers of each applicable subject select the student who they feel will best represent the subject area.  The method of choosing a contestant to attend the District Literary Rally in March of each year is left to the discretion of each department head/teacher.  The contestant named can be subject to change before the District Rally if the teacher feels that he or she is not properly prepared or if there is a last minute substitution due to illness, etc.  Students provide their own transportation to UL-Lafayette for District Rally.  All students are required to be present in the Union Ballroom for Rally results.  Contestants who qualify for the State Rally at LSU will be required to attend.  The number of students who qualify in a given event depends upon the number of schools competing in our division (Division II).  Generally, anyone who places 1st, 2nd, or 3rd at District Rally qualifies to compete at State Rally.  Students participating at the State Rally will be required to travel together on a TCHS bus.   State results are mailed to the school within two weeks after the contest.
