Fall is almost upon us in the New Orleans area. Residents are waiting for that first glimpse of cool, crisp weather when all you can think about is going outside and enjoying all that nature has to offer.
Fall in New Orleans is also the time when metro area students begin to visit the various Catholic high school open houses. These open houses are designed to give prospective students an opportunity to tour the campus, meet faculty and current students and get a feel for how they would fit in at that particular institution. Usually, the various extra curricular clubs and athletic organizations have tables set up offering information on their programs. Parents are encouraged to bring their children to tour as many campuses as possible in order to make an informed choice in schools.

Lisa: It is the combination of the teacher and the crazy person in me. A winning combo, I guess. And, bless your heart... what a nice compliment... you are too kind.
