At a recent meeting of the Board of Pastors of Catholic High, consisting of myself, Monisignor Richard Greene, the Rev. Mike Arnaud and the Rev. Mark Derise, Catholic High School’s present situation was reviewed with Dr. Timothy Uhl, principal. The 70-person turnover in personnel was discussed as well as other issues.
No motions were made for further action.

Don't try these comparisons. I keep waiting for tangible evidence that any of Dr. Uhl's changes are yielding sustainable positive results for our children and their learning environment. No one can objectively present them.
By Doc's 2nd year the school science and social studies fair filled the library...a year later the gym, with steadily increasing success of those students at regional and state competition. By his 3rd year he had inspired the first of what would become a 26 year consecutive streak of at least one CHS student attending International Fairs...there is SO MUCH MORE! "

You parents and/or alumni should organize. There's numbers here - and there's power in numbers - but an organized group is much more powerful.
As for the post from the 'Uhl Supporter' - that's obviously satire or the work of an Uhl family member.
I began commenting after reading about Dreher, because I know he speaks the truth! "
Vincent P. Barras wrote on Aug 7, 2009 10:09 AM:
"What did Doc ever really do except give the school a teacher with the title "Dr."?
Nearly every soul in New Iberia knows what an idiotic statement that is! The money he's donated, the thirty plus years, the programs he's started and built into excellence, the lives he has touched. None of that will ever be measurable in this lifetime, but certainly beyond.
If you represent the calaber and mindset of Uhl supporters, no wonder New Iberia is riled. Keep opening your mouths; you make our case for us that Uhl must go. "

Who cares if the Catholic children at HBCS are not being taught the Cathoic doctrine, do you actually think they are learning it at CHS. At least at HBCS they are learning a loving, Christian atmosphere and isn't that the most important thing. What happened to the responsibility of the parent to raise their child in the Catholic doctrine, why is it the responsibility of a school that does not even have a religious person on staff everyday like they used to have with the Brothers..... please.

As a pastor to his flock, how DARE you suggest that should parishioners have questions or even concerns about CHS, they are not following the Lord or His Church. I hope that was not your intention, but it was certainly the result with your poorly-chosen words. I prefer the New Testament, Matthew 18: 15-17 concerning how to deal with a fallen brother. Go alone and speak privately, then go with friends, and then if all else fails, go to the Church. Sadly, it was the Church as represented by Fr. Charles that let us all down. "

You seem to point the finger at parents for being selfish, when a look in the mirror no doubt would reveal that your opinion is selfish. "

Did you know that "your" money was spent on rewriting the mission statement that was created by the faculty and staff collaboratively in 2003? This was required by SACS to follow the school improvement plan which so many teachers/staff/parents spent so much of their time working on. Countless hours yielded pride from within our group of talented and caring family at CHS. Dr. Uhl recruited/hired (at a hefty fee "$thousands"-plus to get him here) this year, someone to rewrite the mission statement that was authored to reflect "our" school's mission. Money wasted for his own ego. "

I would suggest that you support a parish such as Our Lady of Prompt Succor (Coteau) or the church in Loreauville, or the church in St. Martinville. There are students coming from those areas and those churches are not owner parishes so you can support their needs such as a huge electrical bill to make the parishioners comfortable. "
Better Yet wrote on Aug 1, 2009 5:42 PM:
Why don't you have a meeting with the teachers who are still there since Uhl has been hired? Why don't you hear it straight from the horses' mouths. I'm sure they will be glad to share their concerns with you. And, at the same time invite all those who left on their own accord since he has been there as well. If you really want to know what is going on, that is the only way to do it. Looks like Fr.

How DARE you suggest that Uhl is creating a better school by getting rid of "deadwood." I left CHS at the age of 37! Few stellar teachers who left, including Stella Arabie, Billy Dreher, Chad Case, Danielle Ware, Shelly LeBlanc, and too many others to mention, are younger than I am. To suggest that we are "deadwood," not vibrant, eager, and young, is insulting! I intend to teach for many years, and the students who have experienced me know what kind of a teacher I am. Oh, one last thing: my yearbooks at least were published. Thanks Uhl. "
