CHS WRESTLERS BUILD MORE THAN STRENGTH Catholic High School wrestlers recently teamed up with Rebuilding Together Baton Rouge to construct a wheelchair ramp for a retired LSU custodian. Guided by Head Coach Tommy Prochaska ’92, this annual tradition has become a meaningful kickoff to the wrestling season, blending teamwork with service. Beyond learning a few construction skills, the young athletes gained firsthand experience of the joy that comes from making a tangible difference in their community. The project reflects Coach Prochaska’s dedication to developing well-rounded athletes and the school’s commitment to instilling gospel values that inspire students to serve others with compassion and purpose. YOUTH LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE EMPOWERS STUDENTS The Youth Leadership Conference at Pennington Biomedical Research united students from across East Baton Rouge Parish for two inspiring days of learning and growth. High schoolers gathered Wednesday, followed by middle schoolers on Thursday, to dive into sessions focused on leadership, prevention, and empowerment. Students connected with community partners, explored valuable prevention resources, and worked together in hands-on activities designed to spark teamwork and creativity. Call-to-action discussions encouraged young leaders to strengthen their voices and bring positive change to their schools. The event highlighted the power of student leadership in shaping a healthier, stronger community.
