🇺🇸 We hope you enjoyed a safe and happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Here are a few highlights since our last day of school.

Senior Seth Brosseau earned All-State honors by placing 6th in shot put at the IHSAA State Championship. Seth also fought the rain and wind to place 26th in the discus. Junior Sam Vaught wrapped up his season by placing 16th in the 1600m.

Sophomore Charlie Fletter ended the 2024 season in great fashion, finishing in 21st place in the 3200 with a 12-second PR. Charlie is the 3rd fastest 2-miler in school history with a time of 11:09.96, only 3 seconds off the school record!

The Royals golf team had a great day at sectionals! The team shot 316 and finished 3rd to advance to regionals. Senior Nathan Fikes led the team with a 78. Junior Noah Irwin and freshman Kolton Bertram each shot 79, junior Keegan Rund 80 and senior Oliver Wellman 82.

GET YOUR TICKETS FOR

THE SUMMER SOCIAL

Saturday, August 3 - Gates open at 5:30 PM. Enjoy music from the band The Woomblies, games, food trucks and much more! Freshman families are FREE - please plan on joining in the fun immediately following freshman orientation!

Roncalli will have a Vintage Sale on Thursday, July 25 from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM and Friday, July 26 from 8:00 AM to 12 noon in conjunction with the annual uniform and spiritwear sale. Shop many vintage items from Roncalli's history, including spiritwear, Roncalli athletic uniforms and more!

Browse the Roncalli banners from 1976 to 2019 that hung in the Woodshed. Bidding begins Monday, July 8 and ends on July 19! Own a piece of Roncalli history!

PLEASE NOTE - The banners being sold are the original banners that hung in the Bishop Chartrand gymnasium (aka The Woodshed). ALL of our championships are now being recognized in the Ascension St. Vincent gym for the world to see! The ceiling in the ASV is too high for banners, so we thought our community might enjoy displaying them in their homes! Please stop by the school to tour the new gym if you haven't seen it yet!

The "R" Shirt is an optional uniform garment that allows the student to be out of uniform once a month on the designated "R" Shirt Day. The "R" shirt is available in a short or long-sleeve tee, as well as a crewneck sweatshirt.

2024 - 2025 SCHOOL YEAR IMMUNIZATIONS

The Indiana State Department of Health and Department of Education has required immunizations for every student enrolled in an Indiana school. Roncalli High School must follow these requirements to stay in compliance, even if a physician’s immunization and dosing schedules show more flexibility. 

County Health Departments can assist with these vaccinations.

Religious and medical exemptions are allowed. Every school year, a new exemption form must be signed and on file!

If your children are eligible for free or reduced meals this school year, they

will also be eligible to receive SUN Bucks this summer.

SUN Bucks is a new program to help families buy food for their school-

aged children during the summer. Families will get $120 for each eligible

child to buy groceries during the summer. Children who get SUN Bucks can

still participate in other summer meal programs.

How does SUN Bucks work? In Indiana, SUN Bucks will be loaded onto an

EBT card and mailed to your home. If eligible, you can use SUN Bucks

benefits to buy food like fruits, vegetables, meat, whole grains and dairy at

grocery stores, farmers markets and other places that accept SNAP EBT

benefits. SUN Bucks is a convenient way for you to help your children

thrive.

How do I enroll my child in SUN Bucks? If your household has already

been notified of automatic eligibility, your child will be automatically enrolled

in the SUN Bucks program. You do not need to fill out an application. You

will get a card in the mail sent to the address your child's school has on file.

If you are not automatically enrolled and believe your children are eligible,

you can apply to receive SUN Bucks by filling out a simple application. Visit

https://indianasunbucks.com to complete the application.
