Teurlings Catholic High School

What Teurlings Catholic High School does

Teurlings Catholic High School is a private Catholic college-preparatory high school located at 139 Teurlings Drive in Lafayette, Louisiana, serving students in grades 9 through 12. Founded in 1955 under the vision of Monsignor William J. Teurlings and supported by nine owner parishes (Our Lady of the Assumption, St. Bernard, St. Charles Borromeo, St. Elizabeth Seton, St. Genevieve, St. Leo the Great, St. Patrick, St. Peter, and Sts. Peter and Paul), the school operates under the ecclesiastical authority of the Diocese of Lafayette. The institution educates students through a four-year curriculum aligned with Louisiana TOPS University Diploma requirements, augmented by an Honors Program, Dual Enrollment courses with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and an Individual Student Needs (ISN) Program for students with diagnosed learning disabilities. Beyond academics, the school delivers a structured Catholic formation experience through weekly Mass, Campus Ministry, retreats (Kairos, Oremus, Girls Retreat, Guys Retreat), and 40+ extracurricular activities, clubs, and LHSAA 4-A athletics teams.

The school's underlying technology is standard educational infrastructure rather than proprietary platforms: FACTS/RenWeb for student information management and admissions, Chromebooks for student devices, the Finalsite CMS for the public website, Ballfrog for athletic scheduling via the TCHS Sports App, GoFan for event ticketing, and Google Forms for administrative workflows. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability or proprietary software development; the school depends on widely adopted SaaS tools for school management.

The revenue model is tuition-driven, with pricing structured by parish affiliation for the 2026-2027 school year: Catholic Owner Parish families pay $7,930, Catholic Non-Owner Parish families pay $8,030, and Non-Catholic families pay $8,180. Mandatory and situational fees include a Registration Fee ($500), Maintenance Fee ($300), Student Fee ($200), Technology Fee ($200), Senior Fee ($230), and Athletic Fee ($200). Tuition can be paid in full or amortized monthly/semi-monthly from July 2026 through April 2027, with a 10% finance charge on unpaid balances. Ancillary revenue is generated through athletic event ticketing, the Rebel Athletics Partnership Program for local business sponsorships, and the TCHS summer camp and school play offerings. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer: structured admissions via priority deadlines, campus tours, shadow days, an annual Open House, 8th Grade Day, and targeted digital marketing through Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and the REBELNATION NEWS weekly email newsletter. The parish referral network constitutes the primary enrollment pipeline, with feeder Catholic schools (Carencro Catholic, St. Bernard, St. Genevieve, St. Ignatius, Sts. Leo-Seton, Sts. Peter and Paul) awarding priority admissions points for each year attended.
